One good thing that's also worth to do is start of with cheap engine oils, oil filters, spark plugs etc. first. Don't put everything on a shop first, advertise everything on the internet. Sign up on any random group sites that you bump into. Advertise then meet the buyers personally & sell them your products.
Seller-meets-buyer method. Like those who sell in sulit. Then, when you think you have made enough customers already - can be easy by looking at your average sales per month then that's the only time you look for a small yet accessible place. Para you can encourage your customers to just go to your shop & buy whatever they need there. BUT, don't loose the option to have the products shipped or picked up by meeting up personally. With that you can be labeled as trustworthy then everything will be history ...

i know people who have made a fortune in the used engines/parts business
either they imported used engines/parts or they bought from importers then later on became importers themselves
if their business model was to source parts locally from insurance companies and the local used car market, they would have never made a fortune. there's not enough supply. how many cars can you buy from insurance companies in a month? how many used cars can you buy at prices far below market value in a month?
how many people have already thought of that (buying cars from insurance companies, local used car market) and are already implementing that idea?
like i said, the only way you can make a lot of money from selling parts taken from local used cars is if you stole the carsLast edited by uls; May 3rd, 2011 at 12:38 PM.

sell motor oil by meet up?
people can buy motor oil anywhere. gas stations, auto supply. why would people meet up to buy motor oil?
unless your motor oil is unique and can't be found anywhereLast edited by uls; May 5th, 2011 at 11:54 AM.

i agree with ULS here. medyo mahirap benta oil or break down a car and sell parts.
but kung makakuha ka supplier that can price it really low, get royal purple, motul, toyota or honda orig oils, etc. usually cash basis sa supplier muna bago mag30-60-90 days. medyo tulog pera pero ok lang para makilala.
sa car parts naman, dati i bought a b18c and tor in down. kumita nga ako pero ang mahirap, since maliit budget ko, tagal ng balik. siguro tiis sa paunti unit para makilala muna.
its a doable business pero tiis to get your investment back.

and you need a real shop
and you can't survive on just retailing motor oil, oil filters and spark plugs
you gotta have high value goods. your main business (if you're in the auto parts business) should be the high value parts. motor oil, filters are just side businesses
if you really wanna make money in lubricants, be the importer/distributor
Methinks the Battle of Carthage scene in Russel Crowe's Gladiator (yr. 2000) is a homage to that...
