Nissan Note British Car Auctions Flip - Too Good to be True? 

Wasnt the front section of the o/s/r wheel arch panned in on the Note James?

Seeing this and many of your Clips, James..! I am forced to wonder if there are Still such things as 'Driving Tests in Uk..? Due to the amount of Bumper Front and Rear Repairs you have to Do..! My Dad Taught me to Drive under 'Threat of instant Death..!' ( Ex Royal Marine) If I bingled his Precious Mini in The early 1970s. He would get me to walk around the Car and Make myself Aware how long it was. And "How Damaged It Was Not..!" Practiced Reversing repeatedly Down a tight Driveway into the Garage 'Sweating Blood' in Fear..! Don't get me wrong I have had an accident or 4. But in my Defence 2 of them, I was in the Car being Driving by a Reliative who Crashed into My Parked car, twice for Freds Sake..!! Great Video mate. Good luck. 😎

Another brilliant video again as always

Had a 1.4 manual (gear sick is notchy but not bad). Drives like a tank, very well planted, feels like it would handle any road surface with no trouble & the steering is really light, great around town (good seat height/visibility). Spacious, practical, comfortable & cheap to run. Only issues we had were eletrics, multiple bulbs replaced (sometimes same bulb replaced repeatedly same day) & the electric boot lock stopped opening at which point we part ex'd the car.

The Note looks like a result with all that history 👍 sort out the paint could be on to a winner James 😀

Hope you and the family have had a good weekend

Good cars Notes , sold a few ,they sell well .

Love the MGBGT desk and standing while you work, very healthy. Good to see the stock increasing.

That’s brilliant that it’s get a full tank of fuel and hope it should sell quickly for you

As per other comments also! Panel pushed in on the rear lower Quarter panel. 😬

Nice as usual!

I think you'd do well to have 2 or 3 higher value cars mixed in on the lot. Peeps may come to view (kick tyres) a h/value motor and buy a cheaper car, or vice versa. Even customers with lower budgets will feel reassured about quality and price to see you sell higher end cars too.

BCA just needs a wide berth if any any any other way buy even one to three elsewhere just do it. They treat you with contempt any woe.

It's always the smaller cars that have all the scrapes on the corners. You'd think it'd be larger cars with all that type of damage but it's not.

Had one on curtasey yrs ago. Thought bit greedy. On fuel 👍

Had a very similiar Note for past year, first car. It is amazing. 12 plate 1.4 petrol biggest difference is a touchscreen media thing. The space in these are incredible, im doing labour on the side and been carrying petrol lawnmower strimmer pressure washer shovels rakes leadblower hoses tool bags and still had the front passenger seat free. Coffee tables and side tables at once. All sorts. Its quite a boxy shape, with the backseats moving forward and down and the false floor removed you get tons of space.

ive noticed same on the micras, that full tank of fuel would have sold the car instantly a week ago lol, sure its a chain engine which is a selling piont also

my biggest issue with these are ones that have come from scotland very rusty underneath,had to change many suspension parts, i am a vehicle technician

It's Urban Silver, I had 1.

What acid did you put on the box would have loved to see that process, top job as ever fellers 👍🏻

Nearside rear wheel arch looked a bit rusty too.

Re office furniture either gumtree / eBay. Or auctions.

Definitely, very rare MD SH on the Note

That is one sick note.

Amazing that people buy these old vehicles..

that service price LOL

My old man had a Qashquai in that colour. I hated it.

2:31 does that rear door seem to not fit that well? Looks like something odd going on there!

Good video,think you possibly need to do a bit more research on the cars you but on like the fiesta if you knew about the bumper and the clutch then maybe you wouldn't have bought it,I dunno but you say you would like 20 cars but if you had 20 cars that all needed paint or mechanics etc you'll be there forever,think may start lower and work your way up to 20 or buy better cars that dont need as much work,sorry if this sounds like having a go but I'm not I'm just seeing it from sitting here on the sofa etc but still enjoy all your videos👍

You got a good one there, James. Just sort the scrapes, and you're away, mate.

lucky all prev owners went to the a nissan specialist i do the same with my bike its dumb but also will want to sell it in a yr or 2 best to know its been looked after by the right people and not a pleb like myself lol! its all online i think now tho for me anyhow

What's the car you are leaning on? Looks like 240/260z from front

Aux is inside the box above the radio

Having a lot of History is good most of the time, but sometimes points to a money pit.

oooh a 2cv! wot r u doing to that?

I think its called pearl white

Amazing that a car of that age has always been serviced at a main dealer often stops after 3/4 years. Personally I can't see why the owner kept going to the main dealer and they certainly paid a lot for the priviledge even if the car got a wash! but bonus from your point of view.

Nissan is defiantly no pippin. What car is. 9 odd years back. Well nearer I5. We got cars you actually bought back of bottom book. Or below below. And were lovely things we bought with our real eyes in a real auction. And not with post Covid price distortions online arrive and we’ll, could be nice to a minger

Not a bad car generally liked by older customers who have no interest in cars.

You can offer Finance buddy not all finance companies require FCA regulations... Also the more you invest in a car the more margin you make

You should keep your project cars - Sebring/2CV/Panda 4x4 ;) within viewing for your potential customers. In my opinion, seeing those works-in-progress would give me confidence that the seller knows what he is doing and not just here to make a quick buck, flipping cars. Afterall James, you're not a Facebook marketplace seller, trying to flip old BMWs on 190k miles for £680 with no service history!

I say cut your losses on the Fiesta and punt it back through the block...

well i was always told a service history was irrelevant if the car was over ten years old?

Fantastic cars , had one for a few years now for work comute , ugly as but reliable. Spark plugs are expensive and a twat to fit .

I've got a 2007 Nissan Note had it two years. Box standard basic S Model Had nothing but trouble with it, especially the positioning sensor and cam sensor. 1.4 and drives like a bag of shit, no power whatsoever despite the service history. Never have another one, they are useless.

Damage to rear off side wheel arch

looks like its been painted with a rattle can ...drivers side anyway

Are you sure that Nissan Note isn't it off white primer? Looking at the black under the bumper and door side rubbing strips it looks like it has had previous poor paintwork? Looks horrible 🙄

There's not a lot wrong with this car good turn over .

This is what i currently own, mine is also 2008 ,but mine is 1.6 auto with less than 12 k mileswhich i have owned for last 3 years, it only had 5500 miles when i bought it ( old lady owned for 10 years.) They are nothing special cars which suits me fine.

Was that Urban silver?

Getting some good stock now shame the Fiesta is so rough perhaps put it back in the Auction as its not the quality of your other buys.

Having owned an Nissan Almera Tino which in my eyes was replaced by the Nissan Note, it's a fantastic car.

All junk motors....:))))))

Auxiliary socket is in the opening tray above the stereo on the dashboard, if you're still looking

In my experience the Nissan Note is a great little car. Only known issues I’ve come across is water ingress through the door seals. Keep a lookout for damp smell and condensation on the windows.

Will it be just you when you sell more cars. How will you manage 20 cars and all the repairs. Love the channel BTW. It's an eye opened.

Notes are pretty cool 😎 if not rotten underneath, where do you sell the most cars on that are recorded? Autotrader or eBay 🤔 cheers rick

Questions.....is it bad to write your own services in the service book, i do my own services on my car & i write what i have done & serviced by the owner at the time of service in the book?

Love from Sweden!

Only thing I'd say may be worth doing to save any possible future headaches is doing a fault code scan and checking for historic cam position sensor codes, otherwise you should be safe 👍

I'm guessing an older owner has had this, keeping up with the main dealer services, a few scrapes and battle scars etc

Definitely the clutch in the Fiesta if it's only first gear? Or is it other gears as well? In theory, the higher the gear, the more it should slip (more resistance)

Good service history (particularly oil changes) are essential for Nissans with the small petrol engines between 2003-2010 ish because if neglected, the timing chains like to stretch (no noises or rattles either) just a pesky EML light to show for it. Ask me how I know ☹️

Get a second hand bummer in colour!!!

That fly out of the Door trust me my Nissan note a bit beaten up to that why price was reduced

The front panel to looks like a previous bad paint job

That fly out of the Door trust me!!!

Drivers door looks dented and as said rear drivers arch

Them Nissan note E11 are good cars got one my self 09 reg face lift model same engine as my Nissan Micra k12 1.4 I use to own sold it to buy a bigger car

im on my second Note l love them great little car

Starter motor - they all do that sir! Nothing to worry about, my old Micra did it too, (K12 1.0L) never got worse, garage said it's very common, as you said 👍

Brilliant video as ever. The Note will sell easily with such a good history. Thanks for posting. Out of interest, what is the articulated vehicle parked in the back ground. VW LT of some form it would appear. More information please. :-)

Nothing at all wrong with these - my Dad bought one brand new and hated it. He said it has no character - if a 70 year old guy says that you know its bland but for me I want transport not something thats attractive to thieves and makes every Audi driver want to cut me up

The Note looks like a great little car once it's tidied up. Hope it all goes well. :-D

allparts for your bumper,they will deliver cheaper than marlow and it will fit

Great video did i see a dent in the rear passenger door drivers side on the nissan note.

The Nissan Note o/s rear arch has been twanged - or the door. Either way they aren't flush with each other like the n/s. Just in case you missed. Nice turn up getting the FMDSH. Same happened to me, Synetic said no history but the glove compartment full of Ford stuff disagreed lol ;o)

Whereabouts is the new unit then James? Assuming over near torrington. Just looks a bit out in the sticks 😉, which might not be a bad thing to be honest 🤣.

Is that a dent in the o/s/r wheel arch on the note or is it just the camera angle

Good service history on the Note. See the damage on the rh rear wheel arch dog leg?

Problem with nissan notes is there's fucking loads of them about, I had one and was lucky to sell it quick But for the amount of them I see all over Facebook and so on at rock bottom prices makes me wary about picking another up as looks hard to shift if you don't have the right one

Missed the dent in the drivers rear arch unless door wasn't shut properly.

Looks like a mechanically well kept car. Once bodywork is done it'll fly out I reckon..

MGC bonnet in the MG?

A simple service 300 quid, dick turpin had a gun !@#$ them dealers good for u j👍

Great review. What's under the flap just above the radio...?

Just need a blue file with plastic sleeves to put all Note paperwork in James and get rid of all the cardboard envelopes from dealer. Any spare key?! Tyres cheap enough. Arguably best 13 year old car you'll ever see.

Would you ever sell a Vauxhall Meriva?

The first owner was nissan UK (see numberplate) which is why it's such a good spec. Great Channel

You tease

I did tell you they are good cars. The NOTE.

Nearly a full tank of fuel in the first car, result

Good luck with the new premises.

I’ve stopped watching this channel. I hate these premier’s, it’s not the ABC cinema chain ……..it’s RU-vid.

will have to watch tomorrow as charge is low :(
