People who want money off because they think you are "too expensive", should know the price of your cars before they come to you, so just tell them to go to person who's cheaper, They will soon find out that they only get what they pay for. Normally not a lot. You are a very fair car dealer and do much more for your customers than most Car dealers would ever do 👍
You must have the patience of a saint dealing with some members of the public. It amazes me how some people drive around in such filthy cars, heaven knows what their homes must be like 🤢
Their home must be spotless. You can eat from the floor. Their car on the other hand is just a cheap banger that has to function because they are way to busy with their OCD at home. 🤔
I always like to cheerfully say ‘well definitely look at the cheaper one and when you decide it’s actually the more expensive car, hopefully this one hasn’t sold’!
@@ChopsGarage I bet you could have dealt em bud but you didn't really have the time, it was my birthday the other day, February is the motor traders month.
Comeback to the mot station is 3 mths for rust and 30 days for mechanical faults. I had a brake pipe go after 2. 5 mths the other week so I did it without question.
I usually call their bluff. I say, "As price looks like the most important factor to you, have you seen a like for like car cheaper?". If they say Yes, I ask, why they have not went and bought the cheaper car. 90% of the time, that moves the conversation off of price.
Hi Chops 😊. if you think about it ,the comment about the Qashqai was a flea in the ear . myself I'm in sales , I here this all the time. what someone is trying tell you when they say it's too expensive, what they really mean is they can't afford it . they either get cross with themselves ,or find it too difficult to say . Maybe embarrassment . What that customer actually wanted was your car , but at the cheapest price they spotted one for . That's the one they can afford.
Fellow north devon here, that Teepee will fly out. Price it high (once it’s cleaned). I’ve sourced four of those for my village alone in the last 15 months
The smaller Fiat Qubos seem popular round my way, probably for similar reasons as the Tepee. Sliding doors are jolly useful in the school car park if nothing else!
@@NotRubensDad I’ve been trying to buy a Qubo for about 2 years but every single one at BCA in my local area (Bridgwater, bristol and camberley) has engine management lights on, which is a red flag.
I'm assuming diesel? Seem to be the newer ones are mostly petrol and I have driven a Doblo with the 1.3 diesel and it was a sweet driving thing, but they aren't bullet proof for sure.@@richardmack1194
@16:14 Yes James but I'd rather opt for a Honda Stepwgn for this purpose. Micro camping in the "love van". 🤗 @22:13 It is a posh little city car. Go for it, lads. 👍
We had the newer version of that Partner Tipee until recently ( a 2020 Berlingo ). It was the most versatile and spacious family car available. People scoffed at our 'van with windows'...until they sat inside. Brill for lobbing mountain bikes in, trips to IKEA, camping trips. A proper swiss army knife on wheels. Nothing comes close.
I can never understand the people that treat a car like a skip 🙄 iv always looked after my cars and bikes as I've paid for it myself. A mate used to transport mobility cars and he described 90% them as skips on wheels and he'd clean the seat and steering wheel before getting in them. 😢😢
Too much info these days on valuation, motorway, wbac, even insurance gives a value when you get a quote, no allowance for comebacks, tax, overheads, if they buy a lemon privately they're stuck with it, but you can see peoples point putting reg number into wbac and it's 2k less.
I was told the advisories and failures are never removed. If your car fails, ie a bald tyre, you have the tyre replaced, then the car is retested on that item, but the previous failed MOT is still on the record. I recently had a tyre that was close to minimum tread depth, so the car got an MOT with an advisory. I told the guy to change the tyre before I took the car away, but, because you can't retest a passed MOT, the advisory MOT still stood.
Advisory and fails are on for ever, even if you get it fixed immediately, as it’s recorded as another test. This is good though, as it shows potential buyers more about the history of the car
@derekfleming3095 Absolutely, I agree. It's always good to see the full history. I suppose my main point is that a failed MOT takes the car 'off the road', but an advisory MOT is still an MOT pass.
@derekfleming3095 Maybe you should be able to have a retest after an advisory + repair. It just feels nicer to have a 'green' MOT for 12 months, even if it does follow a 'red' fail, rather than being stuck with an 'amber' one for a year!
@@PrideOfTorbay as long as you keep the receipts for repairing the advisory’s (attach them to the mot like I do) I don’t think it really matters I’m sure the guy that does my mot is colour blind, as every year he advises on rear indicators not orange enough
Peugeot 207 leather steering wheel will fit on the Partner as a direct fit with the airbag and much cheaper than a standard one as that looks quite warn.
Love that teepee and the Kia Rio. I'm Looking at a Kia Rio auto tomorrow, haven't had one yet. Nice colour that teepee as well, look forward to seeing that when it's had the full chops treatment. I'd have done the same as you with the Mégane, you're above that now, get your money back and spend your time on something better.
Those i10 stripes look stupid in the extreme. I have a Piccanto which is similar. Not a car for go-faster stripes. MOT men hate grease on brake pies as they think it is hiding rust. So I paint mine black to please my MOT chap. You have an entertaining video. Your thought processes are sensible.
Great video. That X-trail customer clearly doesn't watch your videos, they were hoping you were desperate for the sale, and you would do the deal with them. That megane I think you gave a fair price for it. Happy belated Birthday James.
If they think it's too expensive, I would just suggest to them they buy the cheaper one they found..... You seem to have plenty of customers, no need to spend time with those who are wishy washy.
You set the price as part of your business … which is to know pricing. You price it on the basis it will sell and put food on your table - someone comes along and says you’re too expensive - let them walk - you know someone else will take it. They pay market price, because you are the market.
Happy birthday, good episode as usual. I think in this day and age you do have to speak up and correct people from time to time. If they in Ernest they will appreciate the information and will feel more informed but if they were just looking for a chunk off the price it puts them back in their box.
They're called tyre kickers in the motor trade...... carpet walkers are people who make appointments to look around houses that are for sale, but have no real intention of buying....
I do get a little irritated by non customers trying to give pricing advice, but not as much as when they try the "magic" words: "what's your best price?" Can anyone explain why MY best price would differ from my advertised price?
Because they spend too much time watching Antiques Road Trip, Salvage Hunters etc where they always ask that and get a (fictitious for TV) massive reduction.
Said it before James and I say it again you give amazing service to your customers 😊 That blue megane was the Pits 😂. £250 tops would be a fair part exchange value. The state of the cars that were traded in were horrendous i would be embarrassed 😢
Exactly my thoughts they will pick holes on everything claim the hell out of the warranty just because they have it they will see it as something they’ve paid for so must use it create problems not that it’s essentially an insurance policy there for just incase the worst happens
Yes I think the i10 would look better without "go faster" stripes! alway think stripes like this look naff and on a little economy car like this its just silly IMO! It is amazing the state that some people let their cars get into and even more amazing that they sell them in that condition - presumably they don't want the best price for em!
The condition of those part exchanges amazes me! Good god, can't they give it a clean? Not they'd get a better price, but also for a little self pride. People eh?!
One thing I really hate is a shiny steering wheel because, they aren’t like that when new so why you dealers do it is beyond me. I get a new car every 3 years and never had one with an interior like that Ford. It doesn’t look good and probably makes the steering wheel slippy. Never had a new van like like either. As for the Nissan, when they come back tell em the price has gone up as you checked yours and found you were selling too cheaply!
I never say I'm going out at whatever time as they'll turn up then, you can't really rush a car deal, people need to be reassured that it's right for them, takes an hour plus at least, maybe 5(!)
Just by doing your you tube channel shows you have nothing to hide , i would buy a car from you , no second thoughts . Will be looking soon , maybe see what you have . Honest to a fault . Great vid as usual .
Hi, I watch most of your videos, I consider you a fair and honest trader. I understand you are probably not a legal expert, but as a dealer who has probably dealt with this type of problem I would value your opinion, if you were so kind to give it. My son bought a 2016 Ford Focus from a garage in October 2023. Yesterday, he went to give the interior a good clean, he noticed the rear passenger side carpet was soaking wet. I know this is a common problem with these Focus’s. So my question is, in your opinion is this something the garage he bought it from be obligated to fix. Thank you.
Hi. No it would not be I'm afraid as it does not constitute it being unroadworthy, not fix for purpose or not as described. It would not be considered a fault as such and at 4 months later unlikely to be considered fault at point if sale.
This is a common problem, caused by the vents behind the rear bumper. Get him to check the spare wheel well, as the water leaks into their initially before moving while driving It’s an easy fix, search on TH-cam - don’t bother resealing them, waste of time
@derekfleming3095 if it were it could be considered it was accepted as a cosmetic issue so to speak. It's really mechanic roadworthiness that the law covers
Car being more expensive than other isn’t over charging - seller can advertise as they see fit. Looks like you found a chancer as it looked cheaper than others.
@@ChopsGarageI'm just on with a megane scenic, had it 2 years, it's dropped on auto trader to 2350,it was 3600 last year, so autotraders fairly accurate, as you say if its on at high price you don't get calls.
Seems to be a common theme both with Chops and my other fav car channel High Peak Autos that people don't seem to worry about bringing their cars for a part-ex looking like something the cat dragged in.Its just a weird mind set to have zero shame in the matter, i wouldn't anyone seeing my car in that state never mind someone i was hoping to sell it too. Maybe its been like that so long they just don't see the filth anymore.
I agree When we part exchanged our 2012 ford mondeo titanium x sport estate ,I even put £5 of diesel in it at the garage round the corner from the dealer as it seemed the right thing to do and not arrive on fumes.
I live not far from you, within sight of Ginster’s pasties,I don’t have any problem negotiating lanes like that in a micra k11 auto. Could it be that you drive a Range Rover because you like it?

Surface corrosion on a subframe....! What the hell do second hand car buyers expect....ffs . Does anybody know anything about cars these days....
The Ital?
the air bag light could be due to washing the interior
that was it
Chops Monday treat... NICE😊😊😊
Cheers
Why would anyone take a car in that shitty condition to trade in?
You’d be surprised how often it happens
Get a trade in price, then say they’ll clean it before picking up their new car, but don’t bother
Happy Birthday pal
Cheers mate
What's happening with the Ital ?
All good use it a bit , due to go in for bodywork
Hi James, happy birthday. Good luck with getting your bike license, you’ll kick yourself for not getting it earlier
I bet I will too
Mind you, who really wants an X Trail in metallic 'bowel movement' brown. . .
Highly enjoyable content - keep it coming
Many thanks
Your more than fair ! 👍
Many thanks
She bought it knowing the price is not your fault she did not due her due delinquency
Diligence

Don't let the door hit you on the arse,
Lol
You car parking area really lets the place down. Would it be worth speaking to the landlord about a minor re-surface with fines or something cheap?
£200 for Megane really. Wouldn’t bother with Peugeot either.
X Trail 'buyers' - FRO - next!
Stop start in an i10 with a 3 cylinder engine is that a joke. I hate stop start waste of time in my opinion. The x trail is a very nice motor and a nice price even tho it’s way overpriced JOKE lol. The Peugeot micro camper need to be a chuffing dwarf but I have seen them as a micro camper
Yes I'd not run stop start on it
Happy birthday
Great video James as per!
cheers
