I am going to start buying Detailing driving and selling high end cars. Found a investor yeah baby.:righton:
 
Define high end......$100K+???? To my common soul anything above $40K is high end..........tell us what you are talking about.
 
$40,000 and up. It is a customer of mine who has a ton of money and loves carsssss.We Have been talking about this for awhile and we pulled trigger a week ago. I will detail them market them and sell them oh yeah and drive them .:righton: we agreed to take it nice and slow and build it slow.
 
I want to drive them and own them not just detail them was my goal when i started out. But i will always be a detailer just able to do both.
 
damn i need an investor. if he wants to expand i am in illinois. tell him to send me equipment and cars. lol.
 
I have had 2 other customers want to invest in my business but i had to decline wanted to much for investment. That is why i target high end customers that have household income of $200,000 and above. If you have a business plan and desire then the only thing i need is money so i surround myself with money and see what happens. I also love to detail their cars yeah!!!!!

i cant find anyone with money. its hard just getting money together just to get a little bit of equipment and chemicals.
 
Sounds like a very sweet arrangement. I am sure you will be enjoying yourself immensely. Best of luck to you and your investor in your new venture. :)

I don't know one word you mean..

And you want to sell cars? In FL you need a license, which runs about $3500 a year.

I have a client who did this back a couple of years ago, right around when the little Lambo arrived. He never detailed them, just bought them low and sold them to local high end dealers as a wholesaler. Drove them while he visited from dealer to dealer.

Problem was twofold, first not many of these cars go to auction until "lease" expires, and their residuals are nowhere near as beneficial to owner as a GM/Ford/Toyota deal thus dealership is more apt to keep them (also low mileage, great shape). Second, just like every market they are hot times and cold times. While the stock market was up in 90's, and then housing market in the 00's it was good, but that area has slowed currently.

Before you get started, I highly suggest you visit and discuss your market with a high end lease specialist. Is he currently moving Vipers, Porsches, and Lambo's or is he now purchasing HHR's and fleeting them to large companies.
 
First, I would never expect to much from any business for 3 years. Killer i have done 3 yrs. of research on this i have put over 1000 hrs of listening talking asking picking brains and compiling. And i have a mentor helping me who has 30 yrs experience in the auto industry. We will never start with exotics Just BMWs,Mercedes, Lexus,Corvettes. then work our way up if we see the oppurtunity is there. Start Small Finish Big!!!!!! Nick we have a liscense pain in he butt to get. Thanks for the posts. Yall rock!!!!!!!!:righton:
