Hi Guys, starting to get back in the swing of things so expect more content landing this week, hope you enjoy this video giving a little update on what's been selling over the last week or so since opening 👍👍👍👍
I'm not surprised you're doing so well. You take any potential buyer right through the process from auction to forecourt. They can see the work you need to do and you even give the mark up you receive. Where do you normally get that insight. People don't expect you to do it for nothing. But the fact you are open about all the above. Let's them know what they are getting. And puts trust in you fella. I'm hundreds of miles from you but I'd make the journey to buy a car from you as I'm pretty sure I'd be buying from someone I could trust. Love this channel been watching it for months.
Been watching your video's from day one,a lot of car dealers could take a leaf out of your book some get them from auction,delivered on a transporter put straight on the pitch with no checks and if you buy and complain they know where you live and say they will send the boys around.......yes it does happen!! i wouldn't hesitate buying a car from you as your a genuine honest dealer and you will be a great success
Congratulations on the start of your new business, you can't beat a good cheapie! You really do show that actually traders like yourself do check things over and do care about the cars you are selling.
Cheap cars are great if you know what your looking for and at,blown head gaskets,noisy cv joints gear boxes etc,there is many a bargain to be had out there,good luck
Glad to see that things are going well.These days small cheepy cars are definitely what alot of people are after,from a genuine salesman/garage......winner winner
Love your channel straight talking, honest and respectful may your business thrive will always mention you to anyone looking to buy for that price especially first timers.
Amazing work Lee! Thanks for the update and your openness too. Thrilled for you that business is going well. I need to know who your smart repair man is mate! Cheers for the upload as ever.
Looking forward to seeing this channel grow. The detail on the cars that're being fixed and sold is great. At the rate you're moving them it seems like your main problem will be sourcing the stock. Looking forward to seeing how you combat that.
Very interesting video Lee, it was great to see your stock, and updates on the various cars. You’ve got quite a variety there, which should cover most people’s needs❤.
Good to see a proper trader keeping the little runabout that everyone wants on the road. All these SUVs are clogging up the roads, massive tanks can’t see over the bonnet. I’ve got an EV and as much as I’d like to see more ppl buy em and get cheap motoring, the price 2nd hand is still out of reach, I’m all for keep what’s out there on the road as long as possible, do em up till they won’t run no more, as long as they’ll fit in someones budget.
I'm so glad for you Lee, if I was in the area I'd love to call in and clean some of your cars to help out. Your channel has been one of my best discoveries recently with Shifting Metal. ❤
Nice one Lee, so pleased its going well for you because taking that leap must have been a little anxiety provoking. Like the shout out for the Panda, I'm a 6ft, 17 stone bloke, not your average Panda owner but absolutely love mine, it does everything I need it to and is so reliable because its looked after.
Watched this channel since day one absolutely love the videos I like every video this channel has come a long way and yhank you for the great content well done lee
Congrats on the opening of your pitch, I wish all dealers put a little more effort into how they present their cars. I've been looking for a car for a while and I'm finding the process frustrating. The pictures look ok then you get there to find loads of scratches, scuffs etc , maybe my expectations are too high for £6000 cars with lowish mileage
great video you have a great knowledge of a lot of varied faults that can go wrong on a car so prospective buyers hopfeully will have added confidence when purchasing off you.
Proper enjoyed that vid mate, kid in a candy shop type stock that is, some lovely little buses on the pitch there bud, dead pleased it's going well for you straight off the bat! Keep em coming mate 😁👍🏻
I started similar to you. Stuck to cheap cars at auction . Always small hatchback diesels before the state demonised diesel power. They sold very well with good profit margins. I looked for 8 to 11 year old cars with around 80 to 100,000 miles. Usually doubled my money. But the pandemic and cost of living crisis..plus the green campaign and rising car prices almost killed my market. Pleased you have found a niche..are car prices cheaper up north at auction? They used to be years ago
Nice one Lee Chuffed it’s working out for you you give some right good pointers about what cars to look out for it’s well handy knowing what to avoid cheers dude have a top week 🙂🎥✌️
Alright Lee, love the channel, and all the very best in your new business. Just one question mate, why is there such a high demand for small automatics, compared to small manuals these days? It's been bugging me for weeks...Had a little search, still not sure..🤔😬🤔😄
Great to see it going well Lee,just a little advice if you don’t get offended,if you can park the truck locally,might just give it a better image,out of sight out of mind, I know it not a break down truck put the people might view it that way,I have just commented on your opening dealership video & genuinely all the best going forward pal
Not currently, to be honest I don't thin we will need one. we have a lot of footfall and between people walking on and buying and our social media via facebook locally we seem to be doing well without one
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t have Facebook and live in Glasgow, so I would have to rely on your videos which could mean something I liked, being sold. I will be looking for something in the very near future though, hence the website query. I do think that would be a benefit not only to me, but potential buyers throughout the country. Anyway, great videos and wish you all the success. 👏👍
Glad business is booming 4 u Lee buddy 👏🏻👏🏻 U defo deserve it and your good name goes with u to this new business so you'll absolutely smash it m8!!!...Loving the videos on the pitch so keep em coming buddy...👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😍😍
Great videos and great advice. I appreciate your honesty and integrity. I think a visit to your site in the near future is on the cards. Many thanks. ps I’ve just bought a TOPDON JS2000 on your recommendation! 👍😊
The very early Clio Campus (around 2006) didn't have the major bumper/tailgate changes / rear numberplate relocation, but yes yours is just one of the last Clio IIs. The body coloured bump _strips_ (rather than just the main bumpers) appeared from 05 reg.
Really enjoy your videos and content now among the first I look for. Only thing I would say in my opinion is don't put a highlight at the very start and just start with your fine self instead 👍
Hi Lee. Jesus the Yard is practically empty Mate. That's a Great sign. With afew more ready for picking up. You can't ask for more than that lol😅😅. You will need to hit a few Car Auctions too find some Stock Lee. Thanks for showing us the good and bad engine in those Mini''s. The BMW engine I know is Crap lol. Now i will know the difference just by looking at ĺt. Anyway great job Lee. I didn't think even you could have gotten rid of that amount of Motors 🎉🎉 Well done Lee. Chat later my friend. Auction time lol 😅😅 🇨🇮 🇨🇮 .
@@carukchannel That's brilliant Lee. Keep it turning over lol. Good luck at the Auction tmro. I cant wait to see what turns up. You never know what you will find there. 🚗🚙🚚🚜🚐🛵🛴🚲 sorry Lee I'm getting excited now. No Scooters or bicycles lol🤔🤗😅😂🤣
Lee, having met you and hearing advice from you. I`m really happy you are happy and doing well. Long may it continue. I do have a question, although I suspect you may have addressed it in a previous video. Are you planning to incorporate MOTs into your workshop eventually?
No Super fredc, the cost to do that would be around 35k due to the changes in recent years with mot equipment rules, to give some context I set my last station up for about 4k with second hand equipment. Also I really did not want to do MOT's anymore my heart had gone out of it, I will still do the odd test to keep my licence and do my yearly training as you never know if I need a trade again.
Hi anthony I will cover it if we still have it in a update video soon, was a injector in the end that fixed it. Did scratch my head mind for a few days but we got there
Hi Guys, starting to get back in the swing of things so expect more content landing this week, hope you enjoy this video giving a little update on what's been selling over the last week or so since opening 👍👍👍👍
Great to see your flying, my daughter has a little Honda Jazz and its a cracking car.
When you go to the auction, please show the prices of BMW, Audi, Mercedes, 2016-2020. I think that many people find them interesting. Thank you
I'm not surprised you're doing so well.
You take any potential buyer right through the process from auction to forecourt.
They can see the work you need to do and you even give the mark up you receive.
Where do you normally get that insight.
People don't expect you to do it for nothing.
But the fact you are open about all the above.
Let's them know what they are getting.
And puts trust in you fella.
I'm hundreds of miles from you but I'd make the journey to buy a car from you as I'm pretty sure I'd be buying from someone I could trust.
Love this channel been watching it for months.
Thanks toxic, kind of you to say 👍👍
Been watching your video's from day one,a lot of car dealers could take a leaf out of your book some get them from auction,delivered on a transporter put straight on the pitch with no checks and if you buy and complain they know where you live and say they will send the boys around.......yes it does happen!!
i wouldn't hesitate buying a car from you as your a genuine honest dealer and you will be a great success
The cheap ones have always been in demand, some people want a car from A to B that’s cheap to run and doesn’t mind a few scratches here and there.
It is great to see you have hit the ground running. We absolutely love the channel, especially buying cars at the auction.
Congratulations on the start of your new business, you can't beat a good cheapie! You really do show that actually traders like yourself do check things over and do care about the cars you are selling.
Glad it's all going well lee,I've treated myself to that diagnosis machine and it's spot on.cheers for that mate.

Keep the regular videos on cars for sale coming.
Is there a website to view your cars ?

Excellent podcast as usual Lee so happy for you the business is going well
Thanks so much!
Glad it going well bud you deserve it for the graft
Many thanks alastair
Leaving us all hanging on the contentious issue of the Focus Lee .....a real entertainer 😂😂
😁👍
Its a shame all dealers aren’t as honest as you. Most backstreet dealers don’t even bother fixing cars before they are up for sale.
Sadly very true, thanks for watching roblox
Best of luck 😊

Excellent mate, glad to hear its going well.What ever happened to that white 3 door punto from a while back?
its just what people are wanting more and more a cheap runabout
The very early Clio Campus (around 2006) didn't have the major bumper/tailgate changes / rear numberplate relocation, but yes yours is just one of the last Clio IIs. The body coloured bump _strips_ (rather than just the main bumpers) appeared from 05 reg.
Decent car for someone that little Panda
Well done 👏
Thank you 😁
Really enjoy your videos and content now among the first I look for.
Only thing I would say in my opinion is don't put a highlight at the very start and just start with your fine self instead 👍
thanks Glen, The highlight is a YT thing, long story but it picks it up as a vlog video and they seem to get recommended it better to viewers.
