£170 CHEAP CAR CHALLENGE ... CAN I MAKE A PROFIT?

- I bought a cheap £170 car in hopes to flip it for a profit. It needed a restoration as the car was very neglected, we actually found this car abandoned on a driveway. In this video I try to fix up and add value to this old rotbox in order to make some money.

Make this a series, and use the money you have made to buy another car to flip/ trade and see what car you can end up with.
This is what I do and its bloody hard at this moment in time 🙄
It’s Mike Brewer you need
Leave some for the rest of us ahhah
No want wants to by or sell 😡😡
What a steal at 170 where did you find this car ? All the 170 cars I see need everything replacing
Love the content, what makes it so great is that you do everything in one video instead of dragging it on like some youtubers do. Can't wait for your next one.
Thankyou 🤙🏼
Totally agree. Getting to see the whole thing through to the sale makes this video top quality.
Love this! I had one identical, early sport. Mine was T702 UYA. Was perfect until some old woman reversed into the rear quarter and wrote it off!
Love the other cars and the big projects but seeing quick flips like this seem more relatable that entire rebuilds too!
Would love to see more content like this!
Well done transformed the astra looked clean and presentable after. I'd say around the 800 was a good price
Absolutely love how you get the whole process into one video. Brilliant work.
Quality video, would definitely like to see a trade up series with the profit
Did you really take the rear number plate off pulled the grommets out and double sided taped the plate on. So left two holes for the boot to rust 👏👏.
Really enjoyed this one bro! You're killing it.
love videos like these...love seeing cars come back to life!
Liked & Subscribed! Awesome little buys/flips like this can’t be beaten at £845 delivered that’s an amazing workhorse will carry on forever buyer is more than happy & you’ve doubled your money it’s a win win. Keep it up buddy👍🏻
Great to see that you quickly managed to restore the vauxhall Astra and make a quick profit. The parts are cheap and for this 2000 is in great mechanical condition. Keep up the great work - and thanks for updating the car one video shoot !
Loved this very satisfying to watch
To echo everyone else's comments, savage content mate! Best bit being it was one really well out together video. Not a drawn out 10 parts series filled with absolute waffle.
Keep it up 👍🏻
Looking at this, I think my Astra that I bought earlier this year is probably on par for value with this one. Mine is a 1.6L mk3 Astra Duo (a special edition) with only 27.5k miles on it and the whole car was in mint condition (minus all the dirt and mold in the interior). And to top it all off, only £250.
£250 with that low miles? Bargain
I enjoyed watching this video! 👍
great job ! enjoyed that video!
Love these styled videos saving a lovely old motor definitely agree with most here to turn it into a series
I do the same it's getting harder thon
New sub and impressed,no Woffle and to the point,well impresed.
Great vid bud. Short sweet and to the point. Love seeing these with real sub £1000 flips. Should continue the series and trade up.. keep going till you have a super car 😂
Yessss lad a new car to the collection love it !!
Really enjoyed this video, please do more
Love a bit of classic Vauxhall pink. Nice work.
Nice video! These Astras are underrated cars. I had one a while back and they drive well, are comfortable and pretty reasonable on fuel.
They refuse to die
Great video sir lots of information
These astra mk4s are getting rare now lovely to see this one restored ❤
Really sweet watch Jack.
Love your videos jack
I honestly thought it was a joke when you showed the astra lol. But hats off to you, it's cleaned up great. Nice profit too 👍
Thanks man!
@@JackMcNeillCars Do yourself a favour and inform your subs that these Telegram me things are a scam and nothing to do with your channel, I've seen it on other channels before. Well done on the Astra, that paint transformation was really impressive.
good effort, people look down on these cars but they're damn good workhorses and there's a big market for sub £1k cars, especially nowadays.
Jack, new to your channel. Loved this Astra video mate, would watch all day if you did more like this 👍
You can watch me I do similier 🤣
Bloody awesome video
I had the 1.7cdti on an 05 plate lovely drive but had numerous issues with it electrical gremlins and egr the petrol ones are the best ones. 👌 and they were galvanized so never rust like the previous model.
Nice video jack I have subscribed to your channel and love boris the micra
Nice onee I've been thinking about doing this for ages but just feel nobody would buy the age of car so not bothered.. might try now.. also the scratch repair on the rear arch could have put filler in then sanded down and painted would have looked better than just a cover spray :) good vid keep them coming make it a series I'm interested
Absolute steal for 170 though
Great content,new subscriber love fast flip can you do more it’s fantastic content thanks
Hi jack ,great car,I bought my Astra for cheap,I’ve had it 3 years,brilliant ,I’d buy yours
Great profit amazing what a bit of tlc and money can do looked a lot nicer after your work .
what kind of polish did you use works really well.
This was a great video
Do more of this mate
Make this a series!
Hi jack, very entertaining video especially for me as l am staunch General Motors fan .
It’s not just European Gm paint that oxidises so terribly, I assure you my 97 Camaro is afflicted in the same way.
Re the doorskin , you may want to consider for future reference the space hopper/inflatable ball trick.
Simply deflate the ball and place it inside the affected panel, gradually inflate it whilst applying hot water or hot air to the outside of the panel and as long as it’s not creased to death it works a treat
I’ve had a fair bit of success in the past with this, Hope it helps you too
All the best
Jay 👍
It looks absolutely mint
Great transformation Jack Little bit of a tip for you mate all your plastics to renew and make them look like new ceramic coat them seriously works amazing you won't believe it till you try it once again excellent transformation of the astra brilliant daily driving car does everything you need them to do 👍🏼👊
Probably a bit expensive for this level of car. A quid on some baby oil is a surprisingly good trim restorer though and probably cheaper than the electricity running the heat gun!
@@adammcallister2260 It won't make the plastics brittle like a heat gun does either. Oil-based trim restorers are the only way to do it, even peanut butter works in a pinch.
Nice bro what compound you use?
That's just amazing restoration, if you want a good idea also is so put some good engine flush before doing the oil change, and injector cleaner in the tank ;)
Owned a few astra G 1.8's over the years. Great wee cars
What a turnaround 👏 PDR guy would have that door back in shape for an hours labour i reckon 🙂👍
Where did you get your detail brushes from please?
marks deffo on gear
Crazy you went to my home town Tadley to sell the car hahaha, hopefully I see it driving about😂🔥
Good job buddy 👍
how come you painted, serviced, and dent repaired after cleaning and polishing?
Nice quick buck mate, turned out really well
More car flips!!!
any content on how you got the number placed or who did them for you?
top video brother
If you polish up the paintwork, it will only go faded again in a few months🙁
Not if u treat it maybe rub it down with some wet and dry and re lacker the paint to protect it and then polish it.
@@dubzuk3710 👍 but if you just polish it and do nothing else it will fade again
Marks problem now😀
That's not his problem. If he went down a different route with the paintwork he probably wouldn't have made a profit
@@sweatybandit0 👍
FYI, using a heat gun on those plastics will make it much more prone to cracking just sitting about now. People with Minis do it to their scuttle panels and then wonder why they crack when then check their brake fluid level and battery.
Will the po,ish not wear off with time and weather?
Nice video bit later but use peanut butter on the black trim cost 20x less than cleaner and the natural oils within the peanut butter will darken for plastics ..get some partridge paper and spread on that leave on plastics for about f 10mins then make sure you wipe off as you don't want the car smelling like peanut butter lmao I used this method for deacade plus even on my RC plastics lol 😂😂
I think you deserve every penny of that but the 1.8 starting point was so ridiculous 😂
I bought a k11 micra some years ago for £150 that had full service history and 26k on the clock, not a single thing wrong with it was mint condition except From a passenger door damage, bought a second hand door but in a different colour for £30 and used the car for several months. Bargains are out there and I have come across a few
came out well , they always polish up and i think people dont know it can be done . find a new supplier for wipers though that price for those was ridiculous
The heat gun draws the resin out of the plastic to the surface, which makes them appear " blacker " however this is at a cost. The resin provides plasticity to the trims, and now will be very very brittle. Cheap fix to sell a car on, if you intended to keep it other methods work better
1st or second or 3rd or 4th 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 mint video
Oh yes jack possibly the best Astra they made 1800 seen to much tho I struggle to flog a diesel Astra same shape has this for 1400
This brings back so many memories as a young child my dad owned a silver Vauxhall Astra from 2000 and he somehow crashed it into a brick wall! It remained a Clean Title and instead he bought a VXR bumper from the scrap yard to rectify the damage, and I just checked this car's history (the numberplate was W554 HET) to find It was previously Rolled back and Crashed! And its off the road 😭...
News update I just had my roof cleaned first time in my ownership what a huge difference my car looked. I have drove it up to London a few times..
I recently had a wheel bearing done with 4 spark plugs it drives nice a new rear exhaust would make huge difference.
I feel once I go this far I will improve the whole car which means a body shop to do the paint work.
It seems 100% safe where I park it away from home..as outside my flat the car was quietly being destroyed.
Use a bit of wood and hammer it from the inside of the door to help get the dent out
Did you buy it private or trade if so can you add the buying / haggling part into the next videos please
Yo Jake when are you going to make more videos of the BMW like you said you will in one of your vids
Vauxhall Astra mk4s are awesome cars hence why I'm on my 5th had I have seen that for sale I would have snapped it up to go with my w reg 1.6 8v estate ☹️
Thank god it’s not just me who tapes my plates on lmao
can u do more of this type of content
Mark looks confused af💀
what insurance do you use ???
Reminds a wee bit of top gear
Coolent tank looked empty. Check the head gasket maybe
Well done but £1800 was very ambitious!
How many hours to tart up the car?
Use burnt engine oil or back to black on the strips around the car
Knowing where there is a plentiful supply of cheap parts helps. I have a few sellers on ebay that sell new old stock and business clearances. Bought a £200 Passat TDi a couple of months ago, spent £250 on it and sold for £1650
Any for me then as can't find a single bargain
@@flippingcarsrepairs try typing the part number in ebay and sort results by lowest price. Can't remember off hand the sellers I use but I'll try get a couple of names
A really nice car
Where can I find car like this one?
Definitely need to spend the 445 on another flip car and see if you can trade up to something cool, a hot hatch or something
That's my plan I'm doing the same
Banger race it
single stage paint or gone through the clear coat 🤔
This the car we use in the Netherlands for tuning. Most of them are “frankenstein’s” or just shitboxes
Can't beat a mk4.. I have a 2000 reg with 42k miles and red..
How come insurance is so low?
As it stands, a 1.8 8v Astra sells for around £250 without cat, battery or alloys to the banger boys.
You could probably get £20 for the battery, £60 for alloys in scrap and the cat will go for a fair bit also. Could potentially break £500 as it sits
Thats not going to make money on yt content thou
Upgrade & see how far you can go doing the same 👍... Be interesting for those who may wanna do the same. Wicked vid !
Shout out Mark. He’s a good guy.
I think that’s the z18xe engine 120bhp.. pretty good engines
I think that's from the sri specs mate these should be around 110bhp which is still alot for a standard astra
@@dubzuk3710 they was 123 standard bud
Petrol cap is plastic only the metal paint work oxidises 👍👍👍👍
can't believe you sold a car to Thanos . Skillz.
