I invest in cars that cannot be used on public roads. Because the papers are not in order or because there is a small defect. I sell them to dealers. They repair the cars and sell them on. Most of the vehicles go abroad, mainly to Romania. A third stay in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this business model, Ovidiu doesn&#8217;t need a showroom: &#8220;I do everything from the office: purchases, sales, paperwork&#8230;\u202fIt&#8217;s incredibly efficient and saves me a lot of time.\u202fI&#8217;ve noticed that my clients find it very easy too.

First I enter the search criteria. That means I have about a hundred cars every day. I select three or four of them. In the last minutes of the auction, I submit my bid. I base my bid on the estimated sale price. And then you have to hope for a positive result&#8230; Even though it&#8217;s sometimes disappointing:\u202fOPENLANE has an enormous offer.\u202fEvery day I find a few cars that exactly match my requirements.
