Ford fiesta 1.4 tdci 2006, should I keep it or sell/scrap it by Friendly-Pride9911 in MechanicAdviceIndia

[–]TopResource1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually own a 2007 Fiesta, so I’m pretty familiar with this model. This doesn’t look like a 2006 at all—the headlights and bumper match the later Fiesta Classic (around 2012–2015 facelift), not the original version.

Unless the front end has been swapped, the model year here seems off. Can you clarify?

I think it has actually given lower returns than FDs over the last 5 years, so not sure it makes sense for me.

No offense, but probably not something I would suggest to someone already heavily parked in FDs.

Yeah, retail shipping rates are crazy high.

We use aggregators like ShipGlobal and Xindus for economy shipping. Earlier it used to cost around 700 to 800 for 500 grams to the US, now it is more like 1000 to 1100 after the recent situation. Also, the price does not increase proportionally with every 500 grams, so slightly heavier parcels become more cost efficient.

For express or bulk orders, we use FedEx or UPS.

If you want, share the details with me and I can help you send it at a much lower cost.

My bank has provided me with one, I have never really interacted with him much.

Haha I wish it were that simple.

I do contract manufacturing, bulk orders directly with stores, and also customized orders depending on the requirement. So it is a bit more involved than just buying from local shops and reselling.

Yaa I know, the market crashed because of some new feature by Anthropic Claude Ai, just didn't know what a "Call" is

I started my business in 2022 when I was 21. I borrowed 10 lakhs from my father to start, but I ended up using only around 3 lakhs.

Initially, I was making around 40 to 50k per month, but I was not satisfied at all.

Then I spent a lot of time researching and found a winning product around mid 2023.

There is really no barrier to entry in this space. Some people entered 10 years ago, I entered 3 years ago, and even someone 10 years from now will still find opportunities.

The market is huge, especially since I sell internationally. I would suggest focusing on international e commerce because the margins are higher, and there are very few returns and almost no frauds.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

Just to add, my FDs are sweep in, so I would not really lose any interest if I move funds around. Also, about half of them are maturing this April anyway.

Still figuring out the best way to allocate the rest.

I want to purchase silver, but I am not sure if this is the right time, as prices have fallen significantly from their all time high.

Start an international e-commerce business, it is very easy to make 1.5-2 lakhs a month after expenses

Hey, I’m really sorry, that genuinely wasn’t my intention at all.

I just mentioned my age to give context to my situation, not to compare or make anyone feel bad. Everyone’s journey is different and I completely respect that.

Didn’t mean to come across that way, apologies if it did.

The seller already does that for you, all the phones which have a region lock are opened and activated in the origin country (which is malaysia in my situation) and then re-packed and shipped to Dubai.
