when i use to go to car auctions with my dad who was a car trader, there was always a prat lifting the bonnet and kicking the tyres , and waving his arms in the air making the first bid but never buying a single car! What fools they made of themselves, just like the prat in the white shirt
When my dad took me there was always a guy who tried to start the bidding well below scrap value on an old car that wasn't getting any bids. Auctioneer usually told them where to get off though.
I bought a JS3000 for my car. 4 litre V8 M3 . Went to work next morning, my 26 ton Hiab truck was flat, 24 volt two batteries, got the topdon out of my car boot and boosted it off no problem. ! Epic bit of kit Lee. 👍
My battery went flat as i left the lights on (1.3L) ....didn't use the boost function on the side & it still started with ease. It was raining heavily so didn't notice it.
As someone who has a Celica with less miles than that one that sold, I was quite surprised to see it go for (relatively) so much money at auction. They tend to be underrated and unloved despite being mega-reliable and surprisingly practical for the type of car they are.
I'm loving the new format of your auction videos. Leaving the guide prices up in the top corner of the screen for the whole of the auction slot is perfect. It was also very difficult to listen to you while the auctioneer was speaking, so the subtitles of your thoughts / actions while the car is going through is ideal, with your summary as the lot closes. Great work! I've also just bought a couple of the Top Don Jump packs, thanks for the deal.
the guy who stands RIGHT in front of you when bidding on the fiesta (32.11) suddenly moves when the hammer goes down...what a bellend... did it purposely
Castleford is a great town so not surprised you received a warm welcome at the auction. Always worth a trip 5 mins down road to Pontefract if you go early again in future, racecourse and castle to have a walk around. Some good buys there
Definitely a few that are wet behind the ears at these auctions. Will learn the hard way, but there are too many looking for a quick flip who are not rperpared to put in a few quid to get them prepped an ready to retail.
Always enjoy these auction videos,that asian guy in the white top was trying to buy everything 😂everytime he went up to the drivers window i take it he was checking for lights on the dash,good to see you bought a few cars lee👍
That Polo was a bargain its a £3 grand car all day long low miles for a VW as if you go on Autotrader London all the VWs here have over 200 thousand miles lol
watching your videos .. I've now programmed myself to "ignore the car" but ALWAYS focus on your comments on the reliability of engine / gearbox which is where the major money gets spent .. the running gear (struts / ball joints etc).. that's always easily replaced
Hi Lee. Wow, that's a big Auction, you can never go wrong with a Quasquai, lovely buy, I think, lol. Nice Volvo for £700+fees. There were some nice buys there for you, Lee. Good luck, Mate. Wicked video again 👌👍🫡🇮🇪 P.S. Jesus, you didn't do too bad at all today. Lovely buy's 😊
I've just recently come across your channel, I appreciate your honesty and you seem very transparent, you stock some nice decent cars for affordable prices 😊
That Myvi is a rebadged Daihatsu Charade - well looked after they are good news at the right money. BMW did the same door thing with the Clubman - but they had the door on the offside. I'd rather decant my kids onto the kerb than into the traffic tbh
I got the Topdon jump pack 2000 last year with your promo code,good deal! I worked for Perodua in the late 90's,they were awful! That Hyundai Veloster "12" plate is so odd! The 05 Yaris T3 is a rare thing at auctions, gotta watch for rot boxes, owned a 02 1.3L auto for 14yrs & not rotten at all as i looked after it,brilliant thing....but £255 a year road tax,OUCH! Cheaper for 1.0L (£160). Sold mine when it hit £185. 😅 Perodua Myvi for £700 aint a bad deal for transportation.
Some good purchases there with decent potential, the Clio being the one for me. That K11 Micra, I did a tax check on it and apart from maybe needing some welding at the next test (if not already done), a solid little car with loads of life in it. The Mini Auto, £600 + fees was ok, passed it's MOT last month but I couldn't pay £385 to tax it!
As usual awesome video, the celica brought back fond memories i had one back in the day, one of the best cars ive ever owned but when the missus got pregnant it had to go, gutted
Sorry about your battery failure, I believe you can buy a battery jump starter at a reasonable price, saw it advertised recently, can't remember where though.
Great video Lee, 3 nice buys for you there. I'm local to G3 but I prefer AB just round the corner. As people have said in the comments, seems to attract a certain clientele at G3.
Great video as usual Lee I look forward to your auction and pitch videos . Still got my fingers crossed you go over the c max this week . By the way I bought one of the top don jump packs at the reduced price from your link 😉 what a great bit of kit it is great value for money . 🏴🏴
I had a Mk8 Civic with the 2.2 i-CTDi diesel for 10 years. Bullet-proof engine if maintained regularly and was a lot of fun to drive with all the torque (340nm or 251lbs/ft) in a relatively light car. I can imagine the auto version with a 1.8 petrol engine is very lacklustre by comparison.
I believe that civic is a ishift or what all the Honda technicians callled ishit it’s not a true auto it’s a automated manual with a computer clutch and Honda binned it very quickly, think it was produced only for about a year
Vauxhall Adam should been turned straight off but they allowed it to be written of most likely over 400-600£ chain. id be pi**ed if that my car going through auction they allowed it to happen. soon as started and making hell of a noise it should been turned straight off and pushed through, if its an interference engine its buggered now, could been a very cheap fix for a garage i be amazed auction has not now got small claims in progress should never been driven but pushed if that not allowed sell car without it on the stand but just the image
at fault of the auction driver, chain is not that expensive esp for a garage far lot cheaper than another engine. soon as started it should been turned of and pushed through so £400-500 job turns in to a hell of a lot more what was totally avoidable. they just lost the old owner that car a bit money
Thought you might have had a go on that Volvo 29:14 at £700 it's £225 cheaper than a Micra 😀Could see someone from the West End bombing round in that...
That v50 Volvo in black for £700, bargain of the day! Or pay another £290 on top for a Nissan micra! 129,000 miles for a Volvo is nothing, my 850 t5 is on 160+ and fit as a flea.
had a look at that JUMPACK, amazed to see its only 10,000mah. i thought it could be a solution for replacing my battery banks for my dashcams but daily my dashcams use a 20,000mah and about 2/3 so around 35,000mah 3x the jump pack storage, im amazed it can start a car so many times before a charge, single camera setup it be 20,000mah for 24 hours and now duel camera setup nearly 2 battery banks for 24 hours. still not found a cheaper way than using battery banks, was hoping JUMPACK might be the answer but the specs sound like it won't sadly as in the market to change two battery banks as they over year old now
keep it going mate! I'm just a customer per say, but this gives a great indication where market is about and what deal is a rip off on our end. All the best from Ireland
Bullet Proof Car well looked after and not ragged or modified a by Boy Racer, Low Miles ... "MOT History" denoted NO corrosion under same, just advisories the likes of pitted brake rotors and maybe coming close to needing tyres, would make a great daily driver, there not too many nice honest ones around.
Does Cat-S put up insurance costs? That era Micra is popular with food delivery peeps. About a simple a car as you could wish for, PAS is a must for round town.
Can't say I've watched the video to be honest but I'm assuming lots of cars were bought at cheap prices only to be put on the lot at massive prices! I only say that because as I search for a new car, prices are still stupidly high. My i30 was 5 years old when I bought it 5 years ago for 6k, now the equivalent 5 year old model is 10k! 🤬
The Adam which blew up was only £800, and a replacement engine is around £650. So if you can do the work on it, is sounds like a bargin, or am I missing something ?
So many knobs at the auction wandering round. Looking at half of them you wouldn’t buy a used car from them would you. I don’t know how you retain your composure in the hall Lee. The guy in the white T-shirt is a typical dodgy looking dealer who wants to look flash but can only bid on cheap cars.
How are cars so cheap in the UK. Jeez man. That polo would sell for like 3500 pounds in my country. There's no way u can get anything decent for under 2500/3000 pounds any where.
They hold the keys for each vehicle, the drivers have a key to open them when driving them through. helps speed up getting the cars through the auction.
