Used Car Vertical when looking for a car for my wife a couple of months back. Found what looked like a good deal, stuck the reg into the app and it came up with outstanding finance (also had who it was with and their number). Called the seller and he was straight up - without me asking told us of the loan he had on it. He needed to get out of the finance (business problems I think) and we came to an arrangement. We agreed to buy the car and he paid the outstanding off, we paid the remainder while finance people were on the phone. All legit. A really useful tool when looking for a new car.
A good start to the new year gents. It looks like a really decent car. I’m sure by the time you guys have finished with it ,…it will be back to brand new condition. The prices will be steep from the dealers I’m sure, but the car is in such good condition it deserves brand new parts. Looking forward to watching this develop. Nice video gentlemen.
It's amazing those new mics of yours and Chris have come on so much . The dream team. I can only imagine the content stepping up this year I really can and what a car to start with a brand spanking new audi.
As a Audi owner I appreciate your latest acquisition, it is a lovely car to drive. I am sure you will return it to as new condition. It will go on to serve another owner for many years of trouble free motoring. The parts from the main agent are eye watering. I had to replace a speaker in the drivers door. I am now very careful with the volume switch. Audis are a dream to drive.they are very well made fit and finish are second to none. I look forward to your next video.
Getting opportunities like this is down to honesty. How many chances would you get at this if your reputation was not as good as it is.. Big numbers on this. Hopefully decent return as well. Off to a flyer for the year. Later. BTW loved Chris's reaction to the £1150 air bag kit.
I am not a car salvager but it does make sense to get this one turned round fast while it is still nearly new. Happy New Year guys and thank you for your positivity in the preceding videos.
Great find guys, all down to your dedication. Seeing those indicators reminds me of a 59 Impala that my uncle had in the 60s in Londons East end. That hat large teardrop rear lights and sequential indicators! It was so cool, even had a dash mounted record player too. My Auntie used to call it the Batmobile, lol ☺️
I love the fact you can have a bash at a 60 plate unloved DS3 then go for a 22plate Audi, this is the exact reason why I love the chanel so much variation and recycling! Happy new year, here's to another fantastic year
A great start to the New Year! Your enthusiasm is as lovely to see as ever. This is a brand new car so I can't wait to see the numbers at the end. I hope you managed to sponge a cup of coffee from one of your mates 😀
Now that's a great start to the year for you guys 👍🏻 just goes to show, the real damage can be masked easily by the surface because that doesn't look too bad but wow, that's going to be some work for you. Even though the parts will be expensive, I think you'll make a decent profit out of it regardless so yeah, look forward to this one 🙂
Thats going to be an expensive project, but a real sharp car when it's done and should be worth way more than the usual profits. Don't be giving this one away on the cheap mark up program, you were lucky to get it and so will the new owner as well ! Thanks for the video, Take care guys
Great to see you back again fellas also glad to see that the generosity that you showed before Christmas 🎄 and through out the years 👍 has shined on the two of you at the start of this year. It will be a lovely motor as usual when you sprinkle your magic on it. Lovely to see you again rob and Chris can't wait to see more 😀 videos this year, take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍.
Great to see a nearly new car. Also hats off for recovering aircon gas. Wonder how many garages just let it go. Also Chris sweeping up all the time. Tidy garage, tidy mind.
Amazing little car guys Audi A1 2022 with super low mileage. The car is a quick turnaround once you’ve sourced all the parts for it. This car is going to be a beautiful car when it’s finished. Have a good weekend guys.
wow love watching you guys............ any chance you can come to Adelaide South Australia and help my hubby, who had a stroke a few years ago, and can't finished rebuilding his 260Z....... help he had me underneath getting all the electrics out a few years ago.............. we at present trying to get the sunroof out... bloody tough this is...so at a stand still. has he can't do anything anymore due to his stroke and don;t have any moevement in his left side......
That's a great buy to start off 2023. I watch a few salvage channels and this has to be the newest car I've seen on any of them. I'm looking forward to seeing this one repaired. Top work. 👍
Happy New Year to you both, hope you had a good reset, all them coins Chris finds in the cars could go to buying your own air con machine 😉 looking forward to this years projects👍
Nice video what you boys going to do with yourself now you don’t have to get a rad pack you will have so much time on your hands. Gutted about the air bags. Cannot wait to see next video. Hope you both had a good Christmas and even better new year. All the best for 2023 👍
You are right . The man hours involved repairing that motor. Send the repair bill over the economical repair threshold out the window. That's economics for you..!!
Hi Guys, what new gas is in the aircon? Here in South Africa we still use R134a but the household refrigerators are starting to use R600 it's Propane and rubbish
25 on the back is the engine power. 25 is a 95 bhp 1.0 turbo, 30 is 110 bhp, 35 is the 150 bhp 1.5, and the rare 40 is a 2.0 with 210 bhp (very rare on the A1). This is a Sport, but the 25 engine is also available on the low-end Technik and higher-end S Line.
hello both, once again you have looked after the person who has offered you the car to buy, also, ensure that everything has been done with the purchase of the car in the correct manner. I do not think you have had such a car to work on which is so new, only a bit dusty!! Looking forwards to the rebuild of this car. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
great video as always , too new for chris to fiind golden nuggets of money, but sound volume terrible when you had it on ramp very difficult to listen too but will stillmthumbs up as quality content
Another fantastic find, might be of help to you, my 2022 Skoda Fabia has exactly the same chassis ( MQB AO ) and running gear (1.0 turbo) some parts may be cheaper from Skoda ? Can’t wait to see this one when it’s finished 👍cheers Paul
Hi Chris and Rob brilliant videos as always hope you two had a good Christmas. Glad to see you back on the channel. Can you please tell me the name of the company you have your batteries from I can't find it on the video you mentioned it in recently. Keep up the great content thank you.
Brilliant buy Rob! That A1 will sell fast when its done! P.S I recommend you to buy an original AUDI Windsheild because my mate does windsheilds and car windows and he says that on newer Audis replacement windsheilds thend do dellaminate faster. Great video as ususal! :D
Yea they won’t bother as for them it’s a lot of paperwork,time and costs involved when they can just write it off and pay it out. For every one policy claim there are thousands that don’t get claimed on so writing cars off isn’t a hardship for them at all.
@MrJamiecs not badly damaged at all though. We used to repair cars all the time through insurance with chassis leg damage. In terms of structural damage its very minimal.
Thing is although it might not be an expensive repair it might be cheaper in the long run to write it off once they've taken into account paying the finance off, paying an approved garage to repair it and then there's the costs of getting a hire car for the duration of the repair work too. All in it could work out a lot more expensive.
White Audi with chassis legs pointing the wrong way, a certain ' 'deja vu' there chaps, looks like a great project, they don't come much fresher than this
Wot a smashing bit of salvage to start the year - least you won't need yer WD40 on any of them nuts and bolts! I don't get why cars get written off so easily these days - bit of straightening, a few bits and bobs and it's back on the road. It's gonna be a winner, this one!
You guys are such a good team and your enthusiasm is infectious. Great start to the new year.
You from memory are the only channel that I watch that ever mentions the environment when doing a repair 👏🏻👍🏻🏴
It's incredible just how clean that workshop is when you have so many projects on the go
Well organised 👍

A 2022 plate quality car on the channel !! What a fantastic start to the year !! Well done guys , can't wait to see this one get the S R touch !!

Shame sometimes what people go through and a tough decision to give up. Great video Rob /Chris

Great project, looking forward to seeing the next video. Keep up the good work guys.
We had a 2019 A1 30 tfsi petrol. Ran it for 3 years with no issues. It’s a great little city car
Thats going to be an expensive project, but a real sharp car when it's done and should be worth way more than the usual profits. Don't be giving this one away on the cheap mark up program, you were lucky to get it and so will the new owner as well ! Thanks for the video, Take care guys

Great video guys what a cracking start to the new year well done Chris and Rob looking forward to seeing the repair ♥️
I think dealer parts are the way to go anyway Rob, with it being a 22 plate car, that keeps it all original.
Great to see a nearly new car. Also hats off for recovering aircon gas. Wonder how many garages just let it go. Also Chris sweeping up all the time. Tidy garage, tidy mind.
Love how cool Chris is. Rob: Airbag kit is gonna be £1100. Chris: Oh thats a shame..
Sad seeing a car this new all damaged. However it's in good hands and i'm sure you guys will get it back working as good as new
Amazing little car guys Audi A1 2022 with super low mileage. The car is a quick turnaround once you’ve sourced all the parts for it. This car is going to be a beautiful car when it’s finished. Have a good weekend guys.
Great start to the new year. Fantastic choice of music this time as well 😎
Nice looking motor can’t wait to see it getting repaired. Top work and thanks for the video take care
Happy new year Rob and Chris, what a great start
That was a good one. Worth the wait! Can't wait to see this progress and to hear the cost when you're done!
wow love watching you guys............ any chance you can come to Adelaide South Australia and help my hubby, who had a stroke a few years ago, and can't finished rebuilding his 260Z....... help he had me underneath getting all the electrics out a few years ago.............. we at present trying to get the sunroof out... bloody tough this is...so at a stand still. has he can't do anything anymore due to his stroke and don;t have any moevement in his left side......
A1 25TFSI is a 1L 3 pot - bit sluggish but a great little car and a smashing video!!
Stuck at home with Covid - cup of tea and a new SR video is just the ticket!😁
That's a great buy to start off 2023. I watch a few salvage channels and this has to be the newest car I've seen on any of them. I'm looking forward to seeing this one repaired. Top work. 👍
Great content again Chris and Rob - thank you; and the mics are working well. Cheers.

Nice to see you back again hope you both had a lovely xmas.. hope you both are well chris and rob.... looking forward to seeing this car done
You are right .
The man hours involved repairing that motor.
Send the repair bill over the economical repair threshold out the window.
That's economics for you..!!
That’s a great find it will be interesting to see you put this nearly new car 🚙 back together 👍🏼
Hi Guys, what new gas is in the aircon? Here in South Africa we still use R134a but the household refrigerators are starting to use R600 it's Propane and rubbish
Happy new year guys. Thanks for the great content. Looking forwards to watching the coming year. Greetings from Thailand.

Great video as ususal! :D
Happy New Year, Guys! Great new project!
I’m surprised the insurers didn’t repair that being a brand new high value car but that said it’s a nice bit of salvage for you both 🙂
Probably because it’s got structural damage
Yea they won’t bother as for them it’s a lot of paperwork,time and costs involved when they can just write it off and pay it out. For every one policy claim there are thousands that don’t get claimed on so writing cars off isn’t a hardship for them at all.
The term 'High value' only applies to Supercars, Hypercars and Megacars. This Audi is considered as a standard car in the insurance field.
Bent chassis leg is always a write off.
. Great video
15
Great to see you guys back
I'm surprised they wrote this car off because the damage is not that bad
Bent chassis leg
@MrJamiecs not badly damaged at all though. We used to repair cars all the time through insurance with chassis leg damage. In terms of structural damage its very minimal.
@@clifton1989 yes minimal but still has structural damage so normally will be written off
Thing is although it might not be an expensive repair it might be cheaper in the long run to write it off once they've taken into account paying the finance off, paying an approved garage to repair it and then there's the costs of getting a hire car for the duration of the repair work too. All in it could work out a lot more expensive.
What a great buy gents , lovely car great start to a Happy New Year!
White Audi with chassis legs pointing the wrong way, a certain ' 'deja vu' there chaps, looks like a great project, they don't come much fresher than this

Nice video well worth the wait. A lovely car and hopefully won't take much to turn it around. Happy New Year guys.
