@@JohnnyGetsCashthe people saying you are lying are probably on benefits and never worked in their life and definitely havent worked in the motor trade. They probably had a look on Facebook and that’s about all of their knowledge surrounding car buying.
I personally don’t care even if you were making up the value you pay. You provide knowledge and entertainment which is both great fun to watch and has helped me out in a couple of situations.
Very nice one Johnny, 88k is still great milage - especially for the year; there are 3-4 years old cars out there with higher milage! 😅 Can’t wait to see the transformation, it was very nice to see your excitement! 😎
Ford did a recall on the Focus binnacles in the mid 2000s and fitted brand new ones for free, unfortunately, they put the clocks in with 00000 displayed.
This did cross my mind as to why the seller didn’t know the true mileage. But not all bad. Obv these clusters are a common issue and some choose a replacement over a repair and the mileage as we see here is stored in the cluster itself.
I totally believe in you being able to find these cars. I told you some videos ago I wanted to get a car, and I actually found a "get-rid-of" listing. Story being: Guy had traded his boat for some money and a car. He didn't need an extra car and just wanted the rest of the money for what his boat was worth. So I got an Audi 8J in good condition at a crazy price. 😄 These kinds of offers can't be found by "search by cheapest" any time of the week. Listings sell over the phone with posts like yours, or they are only listed for a few hours before being gone. I was searching for multiple models, multiple weeks & multiple times a day. ✌
Exactly this! It's always a case of having your 'radar' on at all times and being ready to strike. That's awesome work on the Audi BTW, i hope you ring the bell with it.
Ah ha! "Cheap" cars, but then you factor in the legwork, the prep time and the inevitable dogs not to mention all the grief of dealing with sellers in this environment. and it begins to make sense. Please keep uploading this kind of stuff. Subbed!
88k in 20 years in a Focus is still very low mileage, especially in the uk. Even in Ireland, you’d expect a 20 year old Focus to be somewhere between 150 and 200k miles. That’s a great start and you certainly should be able to make a profit on it. With the Chinese economy teetering on the brink, scrap value is taking a hit and don’t be surprised if we end up back in the situation where you have to pay to leave a car in the scrap yard, but right now any car that drives is still making silly money over here. Almost nothing less than €500 regardless of age or condition. Given our bumpy roads, suspension and wheel bearing issues are common and hidden rust is also back in a big way. So, it’s quite easy to buy a respectable looking car for €1000, spend another €1000 on getting it through a test and end up with a respectable looking car that struggles to make €1800 on resale. It’s refreshing to see someone making a success of it.
Like the video, one of the hardest things for a small / part time trader is to find cars without fees attached bumping up any chance of a small profit, good luck with this one you deserve it 👍
Whoa Jonnie looks like you've pulled one out of the bag again, I can't wait to see your transformation, I know finding cars with potential is hard, if it were easy we would all be doing it. Good luck Bud .
Great video brother, I buy cheap cars all day long and Iv just bought a car I didn’t even know it existed, and the price I paid for it is unbelievable but more on that to come in my next video. 🎉🎉 keep up the amazing content bro
Just do what you do. Your honest and don't matter what people say just carry on. Well done. Hopefully you generate so advertisement money so it's a free bit of stock
Wait, what are we talking about here. Let’s not gloss over the beauty that is the Autobiography Sport. Yes the Focus appears to be a bargain and you will flip that car without too much fuss I’m sure. We can’t wait to see more videos on this motor. Keep the content coming. Thanks.
😂 Yes! She’s a beauty isn’t she?! I should probably do a video on the supercharger at some point as it’s truly something to behold! The focus is a real diamond in the rough I think and I can’t wait to find it a new home!
Just found your channel. Would love to do this sort of stuff. I fix a lot of my own cars and am pretty good at spotting potential and good deals. I just don't have a workshop or lift or storage!!! Great real videos, very much like your stuff. Tks
Great video, you can do more banger cars, those are always interesting. Your hair style is not trendy enough (if you know what I mean) to be one of those TH-camrs who talks about those unbelievable vehicles
I am sure these mk1 focuses had an issue with the clocks which would go "intermittent". So I think your theory of new set of clocks is probably spot on hence the mileage discrepancy. Still low mileage for what it is.
Thanks for checking it out! I believe you’re right (from what others have said), so it all lines up. I’m still very happy at 88k miles! The next video on this one will be released on the 30th July if you’d like to check it out!
Just found your channel and now subscribed. I actually have a soft spot for the mk1 Focus, my last one i owned for 15 years. I would be interested in this one when its sorted
Thanks for subscribing! I have had a lot of comments from people interested in buying this one when it’s done so I will have to have a think about the fairest way to offer it to the market when the time comes!
Mate the haters will hate, it's that simple, you work hard to get the correct care for the price, it's not rocket science. You work hard to get the deals, forget the heaters buddy. I bet I get heaters now lol. Keep the great videos coming. Cash is King out there.
Hey Johnny, ive just watched a few of your videos and you seem like a top bloke, very professional and skilled and entertaining. . I'm not usually 1 to comment but im also in the trade so thought why not. Had a near fatal quad accident 2 months ago, I'm healing and gathering inspiration and ideas, watched your lacquer peel video to get some tips for 1 of my projects haha.. honestly I've been on a downer for the last few days and your videos have bought me right back up mate, respect. Johnny from the future and the plate subs creased me up lol #subscribed
Hey, thanks very much for commenting and for subscribing! I’m sorry to hear about your accident but I’m glad that my videos are bringing you some entertainment whilst you’re recovering. It’s always awesome to hear from other traders, and I’m super grateful to have gained your subscription. Cheers 👍
As said by a few, the deniers aren't worth the time. We believe you. As always a fantastic video, especially happy when it was a mk1 focus as you know I love these! Even with 88k it's easily a £1k+ car with a 12 month ticket
Cheers Chris. I thought you’d like it! I’m looking forward to getting stuck into this one and seeing how much of a peach is hiding underneath all the grot!
Cool Video, So you paid £200. Owned an MGF se (one of 500 limited edition) MOT every year I owned it, My car had suspension fail The last MOT I bit the bullet had it repaired which I felt cost me £635. When the car suspension went on opposite side and other annoying gremlins I called a recovery guy which turned out to be scrap car guy too.. Basically I let him have car for FREE.. For a few years I felt sad because I loved my MGF se it was fun to drive it actually nearly killed me after one of its mots brake disc separated loss of brakes. Its my second MGF I have scrapped, £110 for my previous one with full documented service history. Got a drivers window put through and on the drive to Walsall it drove lovely I had new window and I noticed tyre was worn inside so replaced that. Drove around another 50 miles and I wasn't comfortable I pulled into Coventry and it resided there for a few weeks before being collected by "welovemgfs" who really said it was uneconomical repair It would have been a restores dream 1997 standard mgf with dull cloth interior paintwork that lost its lacquer peel. But plenty of reasonable Tahiti panels available. I find I can buy cars easily enough and because my health issues I have owned a Astra Bertone convertible with private plate Its a rough old dog If I am giving it honest appraisal and Only this week have seen a 1 owner car with history and only 96k for a good price. sadly has no mot.. hence..it has a full leather interior. Also have a twin top and that has full service history I paid just £1300 I presented it for mot and it went through one advisory (brake pads low fronts) I had car valeted it had gone mouldy and it looked lovely. The cars battery was in flat state so changed battery and then had gremlins. I've bought the part (window switch) and I've yet to replace it I feel I lost interest in it its actually one of my best cars in a long time. I bought car to make a few quid because I am unable to do much work. I have a sad feeling my £1300 plus all my expense of around £500 I will probably be lucky to get £900 back. These cars are selling between £650 and £3600 and in most cases struggle to get the better price.. Love to make some dosh.. Valuations and quotes are not my strong point..
I bought 2008 civic 2.2cdti for £100 went straight through an mot for last 2yrs, done over 35k in it no issues. Just bought 66 plate fiesta ST3 hpi clear, 30385 miles £3k and a 2009 seat leon 1.4tsi 43k £500. Loads of cheap cars if you spend time looking for them.
What a beauty! It’s tempting to go all out and see just how nice I can make this one but that’s unfortunately my nature - always wanting to go a little further! That’s not good for productivity or cash flow though!!
Interesting way of finding cars. Maybe I should start putting some adverts as well. Here in the Netherlands the asking prices are ridicilous. 20 year old beat up cars with a lot of work is getting priced 1000 Euros or more.
Thank you. I think you're right - i want to get more content out but given workload and time constraints, the only way to do that is to be a bit less fussy about the production i guess!
It is possible to buy cheap cars you just have to look around, and put the word out there in your area and old school ads. Even here in London, I can still find cheap cars.
Much credit for saving a 20 year old car. Most people would just have scrapped it. 👍🏽 😁 Did it drive off the trailer ok you did you just let it roll off?
Thank you! It actually drove off under its own steam without any clutch issues or anything! I think I should probably do a first drive / update video on it as I’m hugely impressed with it! Cheers 👍
Lots of Ford Focus's had problems with binacles causing a non start fault. It was if I remember rightly a solder or circuit board issue. Maybe that's why it was changed.
Can I ask how you deal with the log book in regards to do you put it in your name or company name… I see so many ads stating “not a dealer” like it’s some toxic con to be a trader..
Yeh sure, when I buy a car (as a trader), I fill out the yellow slip (section 4), which the seller then sends off to the DVLA and I keep the remainder of the V5 document. The yellow slip tells the DVLA that I, as a trader, am now responsible for that vehicle until I sell it and then fill out the usual new keeper part of the V5 with the new owner 👍
I think based off of other comments it seems that this was a Ford recall in the mid 00’s where they fitted new binnacles to the mk1 focus to overcome dry soldered joints. The problem is that the replacement binnacles were all fitted showing 00000 miles (that info was courtesy of another viewer who commented and told me that information- I didn’t know that before!)
Unfortunately it’s all part of being on TH-cam I guess, but fortunately there are far more of you legends who enjoy the content so I’ll keep on creating it! Cheers!
Cheers Russell, as usually I’d love to have a deal with you, but in this case I think I’m going to take this one all the way, just to show the process and how well an unloved and overlooked old car can come up! If you’re still in the market once it’s finished, feel free to drop me a message on Instagram and we can get something together 👍
You shouldn’t have to make this video tbh. I buy cars from Auction and give them a lick over and sell them for a profit. I always sell first against the competition because I’m cheaper. I’m cheaper because I bought cheap and still make good profit.
Cheers Trevor. I know there's a good percentage of you guys who totally understand the business and how it works / how the wheels keep turning, but i HAD to address that small group of viewers who automatically assuming i'm being dishonest about what i pay for some cars, simply because they don't see 'behind the curtain' of the motor trade!
Too much bla bla bla then repeats again and again. Just get to the point and your videos will be much appreciated. If you want to make longer videos just think outside the box. May be add repairs or other topics. Good luck.
Thanks for watching. I also can’t stand repetitive videos and that is something I am always keen to avoid in my productions so if this one has come across like that I can only apologise (as I said, it’s a pet hate of mine too). I certainly haven’t done this to extend the length of the video but have noted your comments.
Niiiice. I find the skeptics in the comments a really odd thing ya know. I did this one with Epic Car Detailing and people were saying it's staged. It's a farm vehicle...I guess you could say it was staged by the fact that it was used on a farm!?! th-cam.com/video/xDgdWt2DY4g/w-d-xo.html
There will always be detractors and i can live with that, but i can't stand that even 0.1% of my viewers might think i'm being dishonest with my figures. I simply do not lie about this stuff!

where do you sell your care ?? some of us are in the market for a decent car and most of the time fb marketplace and all that lot its not great

Hi mate do you never buy crash damage cars from say copart
It’s not something I’ve ever been involved in to be honest, but I’d never say never!
Do you bother to part cars out or is it more hassle than its worth?
Tbh it’s more trouble than it’s worth for me!
Lots of Ford Focus's had problems with binacles causing a non start fault. It was if I remember rightly a solder or circuit board issue.
Maybe that's why it was changed.

thank for the video
£200 for that! He saw you coming mate.. haha!

The mileage discrepancy could be down to a lazy fingered MOT tester

Between the 2008 & 2009 MOT another conman put a new binnacle in the car.
Another conman?🤔
Blablabla… less talk more work 😊
You shouldn’t have to make this video tbh. I buy cars from Auction and give them a lick over and sell them for a profit. I always sell first against the competition because I’m cheaper. I’m cheaper because I bought cheap and still make good profit.
Cheers Trevor. I know there's a good percentage of you guys who totally understand the business and how it works / how the wheels keep turning, but i HAD to address that small group of viewers who automatically assuming i'm being dishonest about what i pay for some cars, simply because they don't see 'behind the curtain' of the motor trade!
There will always be the bitter nay sayers. Pay no attention...
Too much bla bla bla then repeats again and again. Just get to the point and your videos will be much appreciated. If you want to make longer videos just think outside the box. May be add repairs or other topics. Good luck.
Thanks for watching. I also can’t stand repetitive videos and that is something I am always keen to avoid in my productions so if this one has come across like that I can only apologise (as I said, it’s a pet hate of mine too). I certainly haven’t done this to extend the length of the video but have noted your comments.

Niiiice. I find the skeptics in the comments a really odd thing ya know. I did this one with Epic Car Detailing and people were saying it's staged. It's a farm vehicle...I guess you could say it was staged by the fact that it was used on a farm!?! th-cam.com/video/xDgdWt2DY4g/w-d-xo.html
There will always be detractors and i can live with that, but i can't stand that even 0.1% of my viewers might think i'm being dishonest with my figures. I simply do not lie about this stuff!
Do t know anyone that would pay over 5 for that not or not
