Capture the full purchase cost
Start with the vehicle purchase price, then add auction buyer fees, transport and any immediate acquisition costs. Your opening position is based on the money actually committed.
What is FlipTrack UK?
FlipTrack UK is web-based profit tracking and deal intelligence software for UK car flippers and used car traders. It records the full cost of each vehicle so total invested, margin, ROI, days held and realised profit stay visible from purchase to sale.
Keep preparation costs together
Record MOT work, repairs, servicing, tyres, valeting, parts and miscellaneous preparation as they happen. Receipt evidence stays attached to the vehicle record.
Close with the real result
Add the sale value and selling costs to calculate realised profit and ROI. Days held and capital tied up give the result its operating context.
Built around vehicle economics
FlipTrack keeps the decision, the costs and the final result tied to the individual vehicle. It is deliberately narrower than a full dealership management system.
For driveway and independent traders
Use one consistent ledger whether you carry one car or a small portfolio. The Free plan supports up to three active vehicles, with Pro available for unlimited active stock.
VAT Margin Scheme records where relevant
Pro includes a record-keeping and review workspace for vehicle stockbook fields, eligibility blockers, gross margin and an indicative one-sixth VAT amount. It does not submit VAT returns or replace professional advice.
More focused than accounting software
Accounting tools describe the business after transactions are coded. FlipTrack keeps each buying decision, preparation cost and final return visible at vehicle level while the deal is active.
Practical questions
How does FlipTrack calculate used car profit?
It subtracts recorded purchase, preparation, ownership and selling costs from recorded vehicle income. The result depends on the completeness and accuracy of the figures you enter.
Can I track auction fees, tyres and valeting?
Yes. Costs can be recorded against the individual vehicle with a date, category, amount, note and optional receipt evidence.
Does it show capital tied up?
Yes. FlipTrack shows the amount invested in active stock, while Pro adds cash-flow and capital planning across the portfolio.
Is it suitable for a driveway trader?
Yes. It is designed for individual flippers, driveway traders and small independent operations that need clearer vehicle economics without a full DMS.
