@AnthonyS-z5k DPF full I would imagine. Give it run out on motorway with revs over 3k rpm and watch the soot come out the back. Hopefully clears. It fixed this

@cameronj232 thankyou! Yeah that's a great idea, or at least share my story how I did it

I've always sold them very quick and made money off them

Exactly. Very spec dependent but a great small car. I've never bought a twin air yet

Hi mate thanks for offer. Honestly I wouldn't know where to start with crash damaged cars. Not something I know or deal with

Thanks mate. It's rare I get chance to go to physical auctions because of work too! Nearly all of them are from BCA on the app. You can even set proxy bids so it bids for me while I'm working 💪

@@FlippinMotorsUK I think this is the angle I'm going for focusing on the c1s aygos 107s mk1ns but isn't it a risk without seeing under the car for corrosion it's seems like a gamble ?

@rickysingh5641 different cars have different things to look for. Buying from auction is always a gamble, some of them are there for a reason

@@FlippinMotorsUK many thanks and is it possible to make a margin if outsourcing labour to a local mechanic and would it be achievable to sell 3 cars a month while working a full time job. Im a grafter so would really like to do this and even tho this is a hobby for you I am sure you are enjoying the extra cashflow well done indeed lad

@rickysingh5641 I will be full time at some point. I started with 1k which bought an old Astra and prepped it, made 350 quid. Any money on top of a job is better than nothing.

I've never flipped a 130 before always seem to bump into the 160, never had much trouble with them

I had 130bhp imported from UK to Ireland 🇮🇪 had 275,000 miles until syro went gearbox was nice hatchback 2009 plate but 160 was model I should went for

@@tomwall7966 impressive I've not seen one that high!

@FlippinMotorsUK once oil seal done ✔️ and service on time they do lot mate seen 1.6hdi in berlingo van hit 500,000 kms 👍

There's good and bad. Usually the high mileage ones have had everything and run like a dream! There is exceptions though

@@FlippinMotorsUK , i bought a lemon from a used car garage they riped me off i ended up scraping it for 200 quid i lost 6k its was a crap car m8 you got a good one for peanuts well done i just dont like insignia rubbish full of faults n garbage

😂😂what's that then???😅

Thanks again Sue, hope you're keeping well!

Yes mate I do. Mine covers social domestic and pleasure too so although it's expensive I have my own cars and recovery truck on there. Definitely worth it in the longrun

Thats what I do anything upto 20k each car

We look after each other up here, my trucks in for a few repairs so normally only costs me £30

Never in doubt ! Love it

@@stevenlomas8812 never in doubt... when there was definitely doubt!

Cheers mate!

Just found your channel. Just interested on how you move the cars without trade plates and do you have trade insurance

@theleedswarrior hi I have trade policy for up to 10 cars and I do have trade plates. Sometimes I can be forgetful let's just say 🤣

I don't think my mechanic has done one so it's a bit unknown. He's £50 an hour but does look after me on some of the bigger jobs. Still not got round to it yet!

@FlippinMotorsUK it's fairly easy, plenty of guides online and on TH-cam. He will need to get honda bond to seal the timing chain case back on, cheaper stuff leaks or doesn't stick too well.

@@honda.spares.man1 great thanks for the heads up. It also came with a special tool to do the crank pulled

Hi yeah my FB + Insta is LCCS Trade Cars - Darlington

I've always wanted an EP3 but at least this satisfied the VTEC craving ha! Good but not great like the EP3 in my eyes!

I can't lie I've been having some fun in this! Probably top up the fuel get it on some back roads over the Bank Holiday

I did for a little while but I always seem to do good money off them, very quick sales uo here in the North East and not had any major issues especially the diesels so I struggle to turn them down if they're a good price

@@FlippinMotorsUK what models do you do well?

@DaleSteel I've done quite a few DS3 and C4 but only the 1.6 hdi ones. I like a Fiat 500/Punto too and never done bad off an Insignia 2.0 diesel either. Done a few Minis too.

Shouldn't take too much! If it was an EP3 I think the Logbook would be going in my name! Still a great car to drive, so different to the modern hot hatches but I like that 👌

Yeah nice example! Previous owner had it 6 years

First Honda I've ever bought! Most Japanese cars have rust issues, I think Mazdas are worst from personal experience by far! Anthony from Budget Bangers did a video on a 2009 Mazda 2 and half the boot floor was missing!

@FlippinMotorsUK yes totaly agree 👍 I saw that video it was crazy rotten 🤣

Excellent choice, decent spec. Money well spent. I found the way it handles bumps very good too even on this older model!

​@@FlippinMotorsUKexpression is the highest spec for the sandero. At the time of purchase, you could only get the extreme spec on the step way. But the step way forces you with a 6 speed gearbox and when driving at 30-40 it's constant constant gear changes. In the sandero 5 speed , you'd stick it in third from 20 all the way to 45 😂 and the 5 speed at 70 is on 2300 rpm, versus 2100 rpm in the 6 speed, and the difference is like 2 mpg on motorways. 6 speeds isn't always better !

I've drove the newer one and agree with all of them comments. I'm guessing you went for the Comfort? Great spec and love the little tce 90 or 100 engine. The Ford/Vauxhall/VW equivalent will be £7000 more at least!

@@FlippinMotorsUK yep we did. I'm thinking on a 2016 Logan and a 2015 Stepway near me now as a second car run around. Then take bit of hit on the Citroen with early termination.

@@DavidJohnston58 I'm sure they would be a great buy. The Logans are very cheap now! Even an early Duster

I've heard of a few misfire issues that are very difficult and costly to sort. Could be worse could be a Ford Ecoboom I guess and plenty of people still buy them

Yeah the D was never a quality product! Feels stodgy but I find the firm seats and driving position good for my back. I've just drove a Sandero back from the garage and was thinking this drives better than the Corsa and has more go!

Thanks mate! Mechanics took a look seems to think it's fine and from a previous repair possibly. I'm doing lots of road testing before i put my name to this one!

@@FlippinMotorsUK good luck with it mate. Love the channel 👍🏼

@@lanehogger1532 thanks mate glad you're enjoying it!

I did remember after filming! Used to love watching them videos 🤣👍 Cheers mate!

@@FlippinMotorsUK @midlifecrisis101x has a load of more stuff and fails from there from days when I was away

I remember being told the first Meriva was like that too!

Even the 1.4 struggled getting up hills! They move eventually but you have to absolutely hammer them!

They are very common for gearbox issues sadly! Is yours the 1.4? As far as I'm aware all the 1.4 engine ones have rear discs and a 6 speed gearbox

@@FlippinMotorsUK Ah mines a 1.2 and drums on the back , im just annoyed that i didnt listen to my gut feeling not to buy the car , only good news is when i get a new logbook i can flog it onto we want any car for near what i paid for it lol

@@christineayres7199 that's when I end up buying it when it's in BCA 🤣 The Corsa I bought today was a We Buy Any Car one!

@@FlippinMotorsUK Good idea if you can pick them up for a grand fix them then flip em on for a grand profit each time 😊👍 sadly I have no idea about car mechanics or I'd put a new gearbox and clutch in myself , the weird thing is I tracked down the old owner she used to deliver for Evri and told me it's been making the grinding noise for over 3 years since she had it 😱 so yeah shame the dealer that sold me it never told me what was wrong 😞

​@@christineayres7199why didn't you just get your money back of dealer ?

Yeah they always sell much better. Very colour and spec dependent for a quick sale the 500s

Yeah the Pop is bargain basement poverty spec lol 🤣

I always thought the Sport trim was what I really wanted. Then I found an Abarth...

@@Milnoc Abarth costs a lot more though , to find a 10 year old Abarth would cost you £3 grand more than buying a standard 500 and if like me you only need a car to get from A to B then it would be pointless owning the Abarth version , another reason being the paint on these Fiats chips easily , stones from the road etc do a lot of damage sadly

Interesting I'll get the garage to have a look at that. If not I know a good Fiat specialist

Mines doing that too bug I ignore it as it's meaningless lol 🤣 I've got the Blue and Me thing too

Proxi alignment done all working good now, thanks for the heads up! He even sorted the sensors all for £60! I'd highly recommend Andy Petch if you're from the North East, specialises in Fiat, Alfa and mainly Abarth

@@FlippinMotorsUK cheers 🥂 glad you got it sorted , sadly I'm in the North East

My mechanics going to pull the cover off have a look, same on the Sandero I bought just for peace of mind

I had a blue one lovely bright thing, sold in days, loads of interest 61 plate, but it looked cheap as it was about 120k. Lad kept it a short time as it was a temp car and really struggled to sell it after for similar money!

@FlippinMotorsUK mines 13 plate in pearl white. Very tidy. I think its up at 3800. Trader values at 4100

@DaleSteel they're a smart mans car. Not mainstream but a great buy over Focus, Astra etc. Sadly there's not a lot of smart buyers out there 🤣

@FlippinMotorsUK true. Its like the fiat 500s. They ain't a great car but guaranteed you'll sell it straight away

@DaleSteel it's the Vauxhalls up here people love for some reason! The 500s are very colour and spec dependent though!

Agreed!

@@FlippinMotorsUK my experience if you want to hear it.... don't sell cars with a final value less than 3500

@DaleSteel I'm doing more 2500-3500 cars now. Slowly getting there.

@FlippinMotorsUK got to take into account your on the hook for 6 month with these cars. For me the sweet spot is around the 4k mark. I consistently make a minimum of £1500 per car. Obviously you'll get 1 in 8 that are break even but generally that's what I work on. I mainly buy cars that are essentially solid cars but need abit of bodywork. That was I can achieve the 1500 to 2000 margin. Without doing it that way its pretty difficult to make the large margins I aim for.

Yeah I've done plenty of V62 but it does put some people off too

@FlippinMotorsUK I've never had one person. Infact I don't even fill in the logbook in front of customers ever anyway. Simply don't mention the logbook just say they get destroyed because of GDPR so you have to re apply for a new one.

Shame really, the standard ones are quite smart in these

Car was from BCA Nottingham and Darlington - Chesterfield - Nottingham

@@FlippinMotorsUK aha. That's me hearing stopping at Matt High Peak and thinking was Stockport station !!! Wrongly

@zzhughesd you did hear that I did end up in Stockport not Nottingham! A mistake I won't make again... Or just bring my truck next time!

What you ended up at Stockport !!!!!! Going to Notts!!! ? @@FlippinMotorsUK

@@zzhughesd yes somehow 🤣

I've had dealings with both and can see your points. The Puntos around town are excellent. A few months after this video I bought a white one, drove an hour and found that to be a little bit uncomfortable on the motorway, seats great but position isn't ideal. I'm with you on that, not a massive Corsa lover myself though. I drove a Polo 4 hours before and that was a pleasant journey

@@FlippinMotorsUK yeah polos and fiestas are the best for that sort of age category, I’d have to agree with that 😂 they just still hold a premium

@sammilburn445 Mazda 2 good alternative but they rust

@@FlippinMotorsUK at that price point a lot of the time it’s trying to find the best out of a bad bunch I’ve found. You’re either looking at rough cosmetically, mechanical issues/lack of history, a category on the car or high mileage, and it’s trying to find the best of that combination

Hi mate I wouldn't be against it but it's a very niche market. I prefer the cheap runabout everyone wants and sell quickly

hi mate im interested, number?

It retails at £3400 over here on Auto Trader.

It was a Grade 3 which I think was very fair...
