No cost of living up in Sunderland I used to stop at McDonald’s for breakfast, refuse to now as queues so big Same with Greg’s Takeaways on a evening , now have to order hours before as they all just rammed all night every night , and never seen so many new cars on roads
Would love to hear your comments , but due to to auction noise, we cannot hear well. When you speak very directly into the mic, we can hear clearly.So sorry to criticise your superb auction coverage.
@@zzhughesdsadly I’ve got one a crossland, it’s in the dealership waiting for a belt change the dealership want to charge me but Vauxhall are saying should be done under warranty, so goto wait while dealership and Vauxhall communicate ,nightmare , the crossland to be honest is ok it’s the elite model so plenty on it but spoiled with the purecrap engine .
I had a red Mito diesel back in 2012 -ex demo which I stuck 30,000 miles on in a year. Took it from Gloucester to Helensburgh in Scotland and tankful to tankful it did an incredible 81mpg
Scottish cars rust much more due to the colder/longer winters, and all the salt they use on the roads. I'm in Moray NE Scotland and most cars are pretty grotty by 10 years old@@user-ui5tq6mc9p
The rising cost of petrol, insurance, road tax, repairs compounded by the recession is having an adverse effect……… this usually starts with the car market and ends with mass layoffs and a property market crash over the next 18-24 months
@@lanzodavethat’s what we thought last time it happened and if you look at the housing price trend and economy prior to it happening, you will see many similarities
Loved the Saab 9-3 Aero, I was looking to buy one last year, having owned two og 9-5 cars and I like the over engineered cars that the Swedes produced, despite the GM bean counters trying to cut costs. Couldn't find a good one, so bought a well looked after Honda CR-Z instead.
That VW UP looks very much like the 59 plate Daihatsu Sirion that I bought in 2015... I think I paid £750 then... but when it came to parts, it was a mare, as Daihatsu had pulled out of Europe just after making that model, which was a real shame.
I need to take a trip up North to that G3 auction . That old Galaxy and poor paint work Zafira would have sold as a quick flip , ideal dog walking cars , carboot sales car , tip run car . You got some good buys there Lee , good luck mate 👍
Huge difference between book price and retail prices customers always losing try and save up and buy a car private and get it checked out before purchase will save you thousands!!
You did well on the purchases today, all easy fixes if they need it. It's a shame you hadn't noticed the VW Up as I think that would have been a good seller, hopefully quicker than the Mii you had.
i bought a 15 plate ecoboost a few years ago with only 48000 on it,i knew about the wetbelts but thought it would be safe for a few thousand miles..wrong,pickup pipe got blocked and blew the engine..lesson learned
Iv just sold my car and I'm not buying another its the bus for me now iv invested in cough sweets cold remedies and a nice rain coat cars are to much to run and I hate mot blues
Only problem is your world becomes so much smaller once to swap your car for a bus pass. I remember when I couldn’t afford to run my car for a couple of years. Then things that took an hour to do became a half day chore travelling and hauling.
I've just bought one with the wipers not working and some bodywork damage to the front bumper. Purchased for £400, wiper control unit £38 secondhand and a matching colour bumper for £110. Car had 58k miles on the clock and full service history. Moved on for £3,300
@ 23:39 I noticed the lady from the rostrum pointing. I used to also put coffee cups on the tow bars at the auctions, it’s a bugger if you walk into one whilst cutting between the cars. I’ve saw loads of traders do it.
You can set your watch by that 2.0 Jag diesel engine failing. Timing jumps and its toasted . Unless its had a full new chain kit fitted, its on its last gasp at 120K. Its around £2300 for a new chain, engine and gearbox out job if you want it guaranteed .
that red Vauxhall zafira the line down the back quarter panel was from a past repair where it got cut and had it replaced and they did not do a good enough job putting it together and is showing the gap with body filler and i looks like body filler on the side also
Lee, I have recently bought an E51 Elgrand similar to the black one. I wanted to upgrade from my Mazda Bongo. I bought a high spec one with warranty and I'm first UK owner, I've already been under it with Lanoguard etc and secondary cats replaced with stainless steel through pipes. Having driven it now for a couple of months I find it just an awesome car, and that V6 can shift even though it is a two tonne van. Definitely thirsty, drive one if you get a chance though!!
Jaguar was not that cheap when selling on auto trader £2999 for 2016 yes a bargain for private buyer but could have a whole lot of issue if it 2.0 diesel
I really enjoy the auction videos, never having been to one, it is a new experience for me to see the bids being placed. I really liked the denim blue Fabia estate, it looked very well cared for, shame about the mileage though. Great video Lee❤.
Thanks Lee youve made my mind up i was looking at f pace Jags 2.0 diesels but i unsure about the reliability they look great but thanks for the heads up.
Had a 2.0 jag diesel last year, took loads of ads to sell, eventually went for best bid on e Bay, obviously lost on it, wouldn't buy another, chain goes at 90k, then it's very expensive.
Shame about that red VW UP . 5 door as well. Comes from the Edinburgh area. Would the auction entertain you if you put in a higher bid than £1600 or would that be cheeky ?
Brilliant 😂says doesn't want white or anything paint and the first 3 cars 2 are white and worse one is an ecoboom and a red one that needs paint 🤔🙈🤣🤣not sure if that was deliberately done or just coincidence 😁
Just thinking & you mentioned it Lee regarding the VW up , with the car besn provisional you if possible should have gone to enquires etc & said if owner or dealer garage won't accept the bid would they if i offered £200 above what they did. Basically same as gazumping. You also i thought should have bid on the 14 plate Kia Sportage which miles weren't too high & only £1900.& the 13 plate Renault Clio at £1700 . Obviously i know you have both isn't the kia already sold though. The Sasb 93 sportwagon couldn't see the front but an 07 possibly a facelift, if it is it looked just like my 09 sportwagon Vector CTDI even same colour & wheels. Bet that had been traded in as the cost of the 2.0T engine is outrageous its £700 or so.
I'm surprised to see many of my petrol-head friends moving over to electric cars, seems they don't want to get stuck owning a diesel or petrol car as the prices are dropping the nearer we get to 2030. Be good to see EV's going through the auctions at lower prices.
It would be better for G3 to rearrange there auction pitch so you don't have to listen to the other auctioneer. It must be off putting I think I would get fed up of the noise and leave.
why would i buy off a forecourt when i can buy 2 grand under list and get it checked over and fixed for a .fraction of their profit ? or do it yourself if you have the skill.
And yet, despite low auction prices and borderline scammy part-ex payouts, dealership prices have never been higher for everyday cars. "BuT mAh InFlAtIoN...!"
Looks a good bus to be fair, but I know so little about them other than the odd service carried out for old customers. Always seems to be a market for them mind
I've literally just bought a used ford focus with a 1.0 ecoboost engine then came accross this video ..and reading some of the comments has me very worried 😢
Hopefully no worries for you, don't forget you'll just hear horror stories online. There are plenty of ppl who obliviously buy with no problem but the issue is well documented and once you know..... You know.... Hindsight eh.
As a keen maestro man and owner of many MG maestros I cannot let you get away with that 🤣👍Mg 3 is terrible compared to the maestro. Thanks for watching David 👍👍
Pretty interesting that thanks i went there about 20 years ago or so just for fun... any chance you could do one on motorbike auctions i saw a few there in the background ? thanks
I’ve driven hundreds of different cars, and the 3 MG’s I’ve driven are the top three worst cars I’ve ever driven, so that’s saying something - and I’ve driven fiat 500’s & plenty of very poor Peugeots in my time which are also horrendous. The Saab and the Seat would be good buys
Lee, show us what you buy... Because in my opinion you miss out on alot.. But then what do I know.. F all.. Just show us what you buy. Then the journey of the vehicle.. Maybe change your video set up... Show us what you buy.. Then..show us the story... (nice 3 buys)
As a private buyer if I buy a car from auction and if it drives , am I allowed to drive it to a garage for MOT or do I HAVE to hire a tow truck. Can I drive a car away or do I have to transport the car as a private buyer given the car Runs and drive??
