Congratulations Dee. That’s a nice touch. Great car to fix up. 2023 will be onwards and upwards for SN. More subscribers, more variety, more sponsors. Your the hardest grafting guy ever.
I absolutely love your energy and the way you broke this down.. I honestly not a fan of the whole copart palava and used to wonder how to got to that extra charges they put on top but thanks to watching your video now I know! have a great time fixing up this beauty..!!! i wish I could come around and see your setup! I like to get a good view of hands on projects like this.
Big up I used to do this with cars from Japan usually zero damage that was until government here changed the SVA Testing requirements. Was fun but in the winter repairing had to dig deep to get the job done. Was bringing over Mitsubishi FTOs, Nissan Skylines and the odd Honda Type R and Integra's. Done the odd salvage over here and stolen and recovered. Really great memories
I used to buy a lot of salvage do up and sell, in those days not a lot of people did it so you could get decent cars very cheap, they were sold 'as is' and untouched which is how it should be, so no cleaning up as they do now which I find misleads people. I also hear many complaints about parts being stolen and sold separately. Now I find these auctions are full of Polish and Eastern Europeans in general which pushes prices up a lot meaning its rare to find a bargain now, as these cars are very cheap compared to prices in Eastern Europe so these guys are willing to pay a lot more.
hey man this is the 3rd video I am watching from your channel and let me tell you I really enjoyed the live auction hunt with you ! I bet a lot of other people did too, you should definitely do more of this style !
Spot on Dee me ol mucca I’m really pleased for you, take care and have a fab Christmas 🎄 can’t wait to see the rebuild kind regards to you Mark from Billericay 😀👍
Great video mate Thankyou for sharing. I really wanna try doing a car still a bit scared. Wish had someone like you looking over my shoulder keeping me right. Thanks mate happy Christmas
great video! looking forward to seeing how you get on. hopefully it wont cost more than your budget to repair, in anycase, itll still be a good flip. subscribed man big up yourself!
@@SALVAGENATION they sit in the glove box bro up the top get down have look u will see where it sits the boys at co part take them out there only the size of a ciggy box an u get a oner all day an most of the time there on back log at Merc
In respect of Cat U You need to do your research and pay for a 10 min video call of car, but don’t forget that Copart selling fees are way lower than any other car auction. So it makes sense for many to sell via Copart rather than mainstream auctions
The "squiggly coil light" lol can be to do with the fuel system, emissions system and or engine management Dee, not just glow plugs. I am sure you can get it sorted though.
@@SALVAGENATION not gonna lie I had to do a double check lol! But I subbed after the 🇯🇲 video with the VW you got going! Was impressed with the never giving in attitude youngster 👊👊😎
Could u please advice, can citizen of country Georgia (Tbilisi) buy car at UK copart auction or should I refer to licensed company/person, who buys car at copart on behalf of me and will organise shipping to Georgia?
I'm excited to see how this one turns out, you've got balls of steel though buying a CAT U automatic 🤣 I'm guessing you already factored in the potential costs of gearbox issues, looks like a good price for the car though!
You used to be able to get bargains, now these auctions are full of Eastern Europeans and these guys will pay much more as the prices in their countries are much higher.
Why do you think an insurance sale x car at Copart be Category: N REPAIRABLE NON STRUCTURAL but then it says Primary Damage: FRAME DAMAGE REPORTED. A front wheel is pushed back so I'm guessing its a bent control arm but would that make them say frame damage?
Why would a insurance company not categorise a car after damage and put it straight into Copart!? Doesn’t make sense to me which is why I always avoid Cat U.
Hi thx for the video. Just a question how you deal with the insurance for a cars you will sell . That will increase your fees and minimize your profit or possibly put you on loss. Is there an option where you can get insurance for few days or till you sell the car
Bro no joke some cars that go through makes no sense. I used to bang copart few years ago. These days you can get the same car outside without it being damaged for near enough the same price. Like you said I always think WHO THE F IS BIDDING THESE PRICES??? 🤣
You should maybe have thought about spending £4800 on a Car and stuck the rest onto your Gas Heating, it ain't Good trying to work when your sitting in the Cold......I'm sure you can make it up somewhere along the build
That looks like the 1.5 Renault engine in that merc not the most reliable engines, damage don't look to bad on the car it self hopefully works out for you
@@SALVAGENATION Maybe, It happened to me in my audi 20 plate, unless something to do with the DPF filter needing to be sorted and could be full of crap , get the dpf cleaned try see if that fixes it, let me know how you get on.. Reason i say that as the soot build up could have a sensor in there and its too full of gunk to keep start stopping, leading maybe to the dash light im referring to
Edit: Squiggly dash light , could be referring to an error in the start stop function, maybe due to the dpf needing a clean because of a or perhaps a blocked sensor sorry mate i got autism, i hope this makes sense.. Basically the cars computer could be going into 'restricted performance mode' to prevent damage. And I think this is the solution to you problem. When your engine management unit detects the excess build up of fumes in your engine, it can refuse to start. Not that this is the case, but note that this is for the safety of the engine, as the ignition process mixing with the fumes can cause major damage. So you referring to the plugs, could be way down the end of the tracks of the underlying issue, I genuinely think this is why you are getting this error on your dash, so get the DPF particulate filter cleaned, let me know how it goes. i hope i helped you in anyway 👍
With diesel cars you need to wait for the glow plugs to heat up a few seconds before cranking it.. it amazes me you dont know that since you work on cars …
I do know tha but it never goes out. Thats the issue. Diagnostics as an error for the glow plugs. I think there knackered 💤 80k on the clock they prob haven’t been ever changed as they last a while. Stay tune for the future episodes i dive into that specifically
I brought 2019 corsa with 42k miles i spent £1,600 it needed wing, fornt bumper and headlight. Total after repair £5,600 now i want to sell the car i find out it has being in accident twice i brought it as a cat n but form the first accident it was cat s. It is wort about 2k 😢 please someone help i want to get rid off this car
did anyone know this car has a Peugeot engine and a jatco gearbox! It’s only got a merc badge that’s f-ed how they sell a brand with another brand engine 😔
@@SALVAGENATION now people when you go to buy a merc from dealer or we’re ever ask does it have a Peugeot engine save ur self from disaster, I got a car that has Peugeot engine and a jatco auto gearbox I’ve been to so many garages all over the M25 boundaries they are all tyre mechanics they put the diagnostic tool such as snap on etc no codes they can’t tell what the problem is, taking it to the dealer soon most likely they will misdiagnose it and would want me to spend money on this and that and it will be expensive and might not even work out but will just pay up the £180 diagnostic charge and may not go ahead if it’s to expensive and just sell it on BCA.
It’s a Renault engine, not Puegeot. The engine has been slightly modified by MB as is the transmission. While working for MB some 8 years ago I had “training” for these (then) new cars. Everything bolted down with a torx is modified by MB was the message! I was against this concept of using engines from Renault, but looking back these engines have proven to be better then some MB engines…

Such a sexy car for £5k brilliant 🤩 build awaiting :) ❤
A lot of money considering the drive shaft and general damage, steering arms may also be bent
Wow what a bargain there dee 👍👍👍
I'm excited to see how this one turns out, you've got balls of steel though buying a CAT U automatic 🤣 I'm guessing you already factored in the potential costs of gearbox issues, looks like a good price for the car though!
Exactly that. Hence why I stayed at 4100 and not a penny more. Already had a gearbox lined up and i had planed to change it myself.
Good video, thoroughly enjoyed that.
Dee I’m interested in what you do I do the same thing along side uni on a smaller scale and was wondering if i could reach out to you?
New subscriber here. I like your content. Looking forward to more vids.
Welcome. Lots more coming!!!!!
I take it you sell vehicles as well. How can i contact you?
Watching from the 416.
Sick video, just stumbled across this channel, proper cool, I'm gna check car auctions myself now
Good story, hope it works out for you.
That BMW completely dumbfounded me, why are people battling almost 4k ex. fees for a 318i? 🤣🤣🤣
You used to be able to get bargains, now these auctions are full of Eastern Europeans and these guys will pay much more as the prices in their countries are much higher.
Good job.
Why do you think an insurance sale x car at Copart be Category:
N REPAIRABLE NON STRUCTURAL but then it says Primary Damage:
FRAME DAMAGE REPORTED. A front wheel is pushed back so I'm guessing its a bent control arm but would that make them say frame damage?
You’re the man
When you selling your cars if its category U do you still your costumers that it been damaged?
Bro what happens if there is a minimum bid? Say you’re first on the bidding and it’s ended without the minimum bid being met what happens next ?
Colder inside than out👀😂
Great buy Dee👏👏👏
This is the real deal
How much did you sell it for in the end?
A Quid is One Pound. DER!!!!
Not in todays age mate😝 if a youngster said 2 quid… its 2k/2000😜
Nice content ✊🏾
What mean enhanted ? Its run and drive ?
Why would a insurance company not categorise a car after damage and put it straight into Copart!?
Doesn’t make sense to me which is why I always avoid Cat U.
Maybe the car wasn't insured?
NICE VIDEO
6:23 good thing you didn’t get that, it’s cat B and can’t go back on the road anyway
Hi thx for the video. Just a question how you deal with the insurance for a cars you will sell . That will increase your fees and minimize your profit or possibly put you on loss. Is there an option where you can get insurance for few days or till you sell the car
You can insure a car by the Hour in The UK if you want so Insurance isn't an issue that way
He doesn't need to Insure any car he buys 8f he is only buying to repair and sell it on.....Why Insure It? If its not being used and getting repaired?
Bro no joke some cars that go through makes no sense. I used to bang copart few years ago. These days you can get the same car outside without it being damaged for near enough the same price. Like you said I always think WHO THE F IS BIDDING THESE PRICES??? 🤣
How much did the MG go for in the end?

That looks like the 1.5 Renault engine in that merc not the most reliable engines, damage don't look to bad on the car it self hopefully works out for you
How do you go about selling a categorised car especially when you don’t get any service history or paperwork with the car?
Just sell it for the right price and be honest about it.
Can you tell us what you need to do this? Like what licences what stuff do you need?
Just an account to bid and the know how realy.
I go thru cop art in the US. I didn’t know that had it in UK. Do you have ready fixed cars for sale ?
Not ATM. So you get cars from the us to where?
. I’m in UK maybe looking to get one here in London
Merc parts are pricey, and hard to shift sometimes
Lmao bro did u bid on the wrapped green bmw i was on that to 😉
Bro how much does cap hpi cost ?
Don’t buy cars from Wolverhampton I have brought 3 cars from there and every time the car had been bodged up and I ended up spending 2x extra on them
I’ve got a cat S Mercedes a180 grey 2017 I’ll take 7000 in light of copart prices.
Yoo turn the heating up my guy 😂 damn not even for the video
Hey Dee what MacBook Pro are you using
When’s the next MK5 gti videos coming out mate?
