good price??

luton.gumtree.com/luton/86/54332386.html gotta be worth 10k just for the unit (hope the link works)

profits of 20 -30k per year :open_mouth: wonder why the owner was selling up?

That ad has got SCAM written all over it. :exclamation:

The unit alone is worth £30k and yet he’s throwing in at least £15k of trailer as well, plus work, all for £10k. Yeah whatever… :unamused:

The chances are that the truck and trailer are financed so all the guy is selling is his work promise of a profit (20 - 30k), the truck and trailer will be yours in about 4 years time maybe, 10k seems reasonable if you can continue with the daily work - however a profit of 20 - 30k is not a lot if you have to take out your tax/nat ins/holiday pay etc, may seem a bargain but I would not say it was a scam, maybe a good opportunity for someone who wants to become an owner driver but remember - buyer beware.

I mean any potential buyer would do all of the checks first - right?

Looks like he’s set to do a Reginald Perin.

What Polish URL? The “pl” at the end of the web address has naff all to do with Poland, it’s the file extension for a Perl script, which is in itself a totally harmless piece of code which generates the web page you get when you click the link.

£30 grand a year net profit…youd be better working for someone..rather than say i am an owner driver`

and what is a wet kit…sowester and a cape ■■ :laughing: :laughing:

Most ODs only earn a wage comparable to that of an employed driver although of course you also have a saleable asset at the end of the finance term.

As previously stated, the £10k is probably just for an opportunity to take over the finance and an introduction to the work, I wouldn’t personally pay it.

“All this is provided with daily work generating £108,000 net turnover per year, estimated profits of £20-30,000 per year after expenses”

Ok. So I will live for 10 000 per year (after all, I won’t need home) and next year I will buy two of them for my profit. The next year I will be able to buy 6, the next year 18, the next year 54…

Eddie Stobart, be aware! I am coming! :slight_smile:

I have realised now that the pl is not part of the url, it was just Kaspersky warned me to get outa there sharpish. I probably jumped to a wrong conclusion when I saw the house in Tunnel Ave for sale or rent.

Hydraulic tank, PTO and Pump.

The last time i bought a truck “with work” I got right royally shafted, and i certainly ain’t stupid… but maybe i was in 1999 before i was 'netified!

Condition, new MOT, immaculate condition. All this is provided with daily work generating £108,000 net turnover per year, estimated profits of £20-30,000 per year after expenses,

That works out at £9000 a month, not a good return for an artic, i wouldnt get out of bed for that, should be at least £12000 a month :grimacing:
