Well I couldnt be more pleased. We made it to £70,609.00 for the month, Heres a quick update video which was fine on my tablet but is blured a bit on you tube, sorry. I think you can still make out the numbers.

On a more fun note here I am last week picking up my brand new BMW M4 cabriolet competion pack in the special order colour san marino blue. I had a great time specing this car a few months ago and waited for it to be built. I guess my figures do stack up after all. ;) ;) ;D

My friend just bought one of them 2017 M4 Cabrio with Competition Pack in Pearl White with Red Leather and some sort of other extras plus a Carbon Pack whatever, that is. It only had just under 9000 miles on it. He reckons he nicked it at £38000. How much are the bloody things new?
-
Trust me he didnt pay £38k! more like 55K for a year old coupe never mind the more expensive cabrio. If he did pay 38 then it will have had a bash.
They cost a lot new, say no more. I will keep it for at least 3 years though. plus I got the finance on 0% so it was a good deal.

Well done Lee. I must admit I don’t get too excited about cars these days so my recent treat to myself was a motorhome.
-
My treat was a skateboard... can I join in? ;D
-
What’s the figures on that car then Lee how much down for 0%,what’s that about 5-600 a month.

Errrr no mate. quite a bit more than that. I wish it was as low as that.
Really rather not say to be honest. Dont mean that in a negative way.

Na, he didn’t get it at that price, I bought an M4 coupe about 18 months ago, it was about 18 months old when I bought it but it had done only 3000 miles, I paid way more for it than the figure you mentioned. I was actually going to chop it in for a new one when I seen they were doing 0% interest. The savings with 0% interest are massive when you are buying at this level, the one I was interested in also had 10k off the list price.....I was so tempted.

Well I just spoke to him again and he confirmed he has BMW M4 3.0 (Competition Pack) M DCT 2dr in Metallic White with a carbon pack. It also has a 3 year bmw service pack on it bought from a BMW Dealer accident free on a 17 plate and it had 8430 miles on it it now has 9200 and he gave £37995 for it. He also says there are 2 or 3 on Auto Trader for sale in the low £40000 mark but he says bid the £37-38K and they will take it. Not my bag high performance cars especially Cabrio’s cos I hate them but this guy is as straight as they come and doesn’t bullpoop

I reckon Lee has paid his record monthly turnover at the top of this thread for the motor😉 To spec up these cars costs ££££.

looks like he got a good buy there then. Thing is with these cars you can have two the same year and same mileage and one can be worth 5k more than the other, it’s not until you look at the spec sheet that you know what they’re really worth.
-
Treated myself to a pair of shoes :)
-
That must be a low deposit then if 550-650 a month won’t get you 1 of those M4s,it works out better leasing 1.
-
Dear oh dear.
Mate the car was £75 grand. you dont get that for 650 a month! I put over £10k worth of spec on it. That colour alone was £1000
-
Could have got a lovely A class motor home for that. ;D
-
Lol I could buy 1 tomorrow 8Weeks if I wanted too 😂

well done lee! you deserve to treat your self!
did your eyes water when you took that dividend payment must have been well over 6 figures to buy that sort of car
just think all that leafleting money ;D
-
I havnt taken a dividend payment yet because I spend all the profit on growth. You cannot take a dividend if you show no profit. I pay myself a fixed monthly wage through PAYE the car is on finance and I pay the monthly payment. I only pay myself enough to live in my house, drive a nice car and go on 2 nice holidays a year. Everything else gets re spent.

oh bloody hell all the profit! i thought you might indulge thought you may have accumulated some extra profit for your self this time! with that car in mind
but thats what its about staying humble keeps you motivated!

You might have to take NWH under your wing Lee and show him how the "real" big boys do it- I'm sure he'd love to be one!! ;D

Is that not an individual colour Lee? My wife was going to get the 5 series touring with individual colour, can’t remember name of the colour but it was a mid blue/purple ( ended up getting one in black 😒 ) I’m sure th e individual paint was gonna be somewhere between 2 and 3K😲

Actually lee if i may ask and i think a bunch would also like to know all this hard work and profit which has to be into 6 figures on almost a million turnover when do you feel would be a good time to increase your personal wealth ? rather then keep reinvesting as you have done for many years.
i guess its down to each person you prob want to keep growing.

How could it work out better leasing when the car is on 0% finance. Give yerself a shake!
-
I didn’t think it would take old chumly boy long to start posting 😂,yeah he would be interesting to talk too Lee I may go and have a coffee with him soon.
-
You can lease one in some cases cheaper, BMs drop like a stone from new. I’d never buy a car like that again I’d lease.

Because of the resale value I would much rather have another new 1 after 3 years,after 3 years it’s probably going to have cost you more than the lease in buying 1 maybe not Lee if he’s got 0% finance. There’s loads of M cars with top spec they aren’t worth an amazing amount more than standard,they are high spec anyway second hand value I mean,they do an upgrade which lowers the backend and a remap which takes it to around 500hp I believe,IMO the backend needs lowering on that M4 it looks a bit jacked up to me. Can’t beat the M3 V8 Lee 3 door version this M4s supposed to have taken over from,they only make the M3 in 4 door now such a shame.
-
I had the previous m3 with the V8 so actually you can beat it as Ive had both, and the one before that (e46)

I plan to keep with my existing plan until the end of next year when we should hit a £million in turnover. Then I will re coup the money I lent the business from my previous house (£300K) I will take this back over a 1.5-2 year period and pay no tax as its a loan repayment. This then becomes the deposit for the next house. So in effect I moved money from the last house into the business to grow it rapidly then moved it back into the next house leaving a much bigger and better business for me. Then I will pay myself once a year with a single dividend at the end of the tax year once all expenses and corporation tax has been paid. This way I pay the least amount of tax. The single lump will move into a separate current account and be divided into 12 monthly standing orders into my personal current account meaning I pay myself monthly for the next 12 months based on last years profit. (are you all still with me here)? lol ;D
-
The argument for paying lots for brand new cars is fine as long as you keep it long enough, In this case 3 years and hand it back start again and so on. Add in the 0% and there isnt a better deal for the situation I want. Plus it was a lot of fun sitting down and choosing my own spec ect.

I just bought a
new cheapie car....
A Vauxhall Zafira GSI Turbo...2003 model. with 220 BHP.. ;D ;D ;D its hilarous...i'm currently de-chaving it
Its a rolling restoration, project car, fitting new turbocharger next week from Courtney's and will be getting it mapped to 275bhp.
1) Wife wanted something she can bundle the kids into & take their friends out as it has 7 seats,
2) I wanted something I can take spades & wheelbarrows down to the allotment in, and be able to pull wheelies in 2nd gear on the way back whilst listening to dire straits on the original factory clarion head unit..
3) Not have to worry if she gets any car-park dings in Sainsburys (she will)
Only paid £1900 for it, so far i have spent around £300 on doing the timing belt, water pump & usual stuff that cars of this age need, will be getting the wheels refurbished and you know just messing about with it. will be buying a new car next year, but we are going to keep this one too, its so fun and..cheap..and happy.
Our 2010 Mazda 6 2.5 Sport, that cost me a grand last year in gearbox repairs, and a grand this year needing a new steering rack. sold it for 3k and bought the zafira with the change. We owned it for 5 years that car, flipping expensive to repair & service tho, glad to be rid of it.

sod that!im sick of messing around with old cars(and vans!).........each to their own....i could write a book about the trouble ive had with old vehicles....so you ve paid out £2,200 on a car thats 15 YEARS OLD!......err...ok.....rather you than me..... ;D ;D ;D

Yeah but i love that kind of thing..

When leasing you are paying the depreciation! Yes they do a 2 door M3....it’s called an M4😉. I’ve had both the V8 4 litre M3 and my current M4, I much prefer the M4, although I do miss the sound of the V8
-
Did you take down the video Lee?
-
A few years ago the V8 M3 used to make me twitch a bit bit the M4 doesn’t have the same effect with me,the M4 to me and this is only my opinion is pointless if you ever wanted a 2 door M BMW you’d go for the M3. The reviews I saw about 6 months ago all said it needs lowering at the backend in order for it to have the same presence on the road as its dad,anyway enough of this BMW forum lol.
