Cheap run abouts ?? worth it ??

Opportunities are more plentiful than they have ever been. They are just different / more complex now.

There probably are my main issue is dealing with the general public , my work life is all big business its totally different attitudes. At my age I just cant deal with tyre kickers and time wasters then its the whole anything that goes wrong is your problem later you may have to deal with.

Its bad enough just selling a chair on FB let alone a car

Im just not convinced the time spent fixing something up for all the hassle of selling it unless theres a big profit is worth it , I cant find enough time in the day as it is !

Maybe once I fix up all the project vehicles i have i might do some but I'll problably be too old then

I agree with Nomad, in short 'the games dead'.

And it's only going to get worse with EV's

It will take a few unfortunate deaths by DIy'ers mucking around thinking they can fix stuff for there to be a crackdown on home repair i think

The point is many people can only just afford to run a Bangor...

I think used EV's wont kill things, people will just develop new skill sets. In time there'll be plenty of people who can take a battery pack apart and replace individual cells or the contactor without dying, and there may even be a market to fit non standard batteries to EV's with limited range.
I know of several diy'ers with first gen Renault kangoo's swapping in a battery pack from a different model car to extend their original woeful range to something usuable.

True and the generations now dont have the skill like we learnt to fix simple stuff

What like that time when diy'ers gas themselves or set fire to themselves in petrol explosions? Or does it only apply to EV's?
