I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm so pleased I came across this channel when you started it, it's so interesting and entertaining. I'm also pleased that this new venture is looking positive from the get go, long may it continue.
Hi Liam good luck in your New Venture mate. You are the right man to take over the Pitch. You will continue Alastair's well earned reputation and make The Car Pitch the best place to buy reasonably priced cars in and around Crewe. Take care mate
Great to watch your business activities and great to see subscribers looking to buy from you, it makes all your hard work, honesty and openness worthwhile. I love your channel and really hope this continues to work for you and your employees.
Pleased you got the ramp sorted out . The Car Pitch is doing well with all the cars you have sold , look forward to the auction video , all the best Lee .
Great video. I love the 'techy' videos as much as the selling and buying movies (Auction, 'test drives,' etc! Hope you film at least part of the 'changeover' videos.
Looking like auction content to continue - no bad thing. And if everyone else is stocked up there is every chance they aren't buying much which could auger well for your pitch
Another grest update lee and kev at prestige cars has had the same issue with the ramp in his new forecourt and garage but not sure what he decided to do but you're solution is spot on👍
Crack on lad, really enjoy your content. My mate who is the trade loves your vids as well,we talk about your vids every time we meat in the pub. Keep it up my good fellow 👍👍
Interesting video. The portable ramp should be just the ticket! I bought a 2006 Honda Jazz 1.4 sport manual a month ago for £2300. 116k miles really good driver but sadly it came with three water leaks. Rear passenger floor pans and the boot. Been hard trying to identify and fix the issues without a garage. So I've almost got there but had to do jobs twice and learn from my mistakes. Plastic aprons behind rear door cards resealed and the rubber door seals at the bottom by the sill where flattens out need extra drain holes as water saturated and spilling over inside. Boot leak by the latch have seam sealed and also seam sealed floor pans. The sticky metal look pads on them been getting water under them from the leak so very soggy carpets. Also when I bought car was told automatic fetching double not that I wanted one. I'm in Huddersfield.
Lee, your channel is great, you get a lot of people sniffing around and buying your cars.. I think I may have to pop down to check out some of the motors, as you put it, ‘Boddy Dazzlers’😊. Keep it up..
Great to hear about the sales - just need to buy, buy, buy now (look forward to the auction vids). I see you swerved a bullet on that ramp. Hopefully it’ll keep until you want to change it rather than having to change it. Good luck at the auctions - hope the prices go your way. Dave Birmingham
Hi Lee like you videos, your honesty is much to be admired, from my experience with the motor trade, used cars salesmen are not renowned for their straightness, you deserve the success you having, can I give you a simple bit of advise, you always seem to always have a car sitting up on the back of your breakdown vehicle, will customers think is this a car you have previously sold. regards Derek
Hi Lee , Glad to see you've had a good week or so selling some stock ,, So you managed to dodge a bullet with the ramp situation ,, can't wait for the auction vids mate ,, keep em coming, stay safe all , 👍😮
Hi Lee. Well done Lad. I'm over the Moon for you, so Happy. That Pitch has been so Lucky for you. The Cars are flying out the door lol. What a Birch about the bloody Ramp. A "H" Ramp are expensive Lee. But thank god you have sorted it out. Nice one 😅. Thanks for all your hard work Lee. I'm looking forward to checking out an Auction. Hopefully you can grab something Nice. Anyway Stay Safe and keep Smiling. See you during the week 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Glad to hear that your selling your stock,here in Essex, it really seems that it came to a full stop for a couple of weeks, maybe a drop down from the new reg in September?? No one seems impressed by ev cars for sure, there is no-one looking at the new mustang, And I am told the prices have dropped? Just to try and get some out the door., Still keep going mate your doing really well, Bill.
All the people doing the dearer stuff, 6k 7k 8k 9k etc are pretty much dead down here in the South, I know I am, but the pitches doing the cheap 1.5k 2k 3k etc are flying ! ..... never known anything like it, trouble is I hate that cheaper stuff, nothing but hassle, and penny pinchers, plus down here near London they are very much seen as bangers, especially by the younger buyers, but hats off to you, well done Sir ......
I don't know what it weighs but it looks like you could get a nice few quid in scrap on that ramp Lee. You have probably done that already though. Another mechanic might be an idea as well as you always seem to have huge backlog of cars to get through.
Great in depth progress report Lee buddy 👏🏻👏🏻 Great to see sales have gone mad the last week 4 u and that new stock is defo needed (Love your auction videos)...Great idea with the purchase of your former mobile ramp as well which logically seems a superb idea to aid u with an inside valeting area if needed when nothing is needed up om the mobile ramp...Plus the price was right and didn't empty those deep pockets of yours too much...lol...😂😉 Can't wait to see the auction videos in the next few days...Keep up the great work Pal 👏🏻👏🏻
Must be the YT effect. Motor trader in south Manchester 20 miles away, great imagery, very very keen prices, small city budget cars, good MOT'd. Just broken appointments and stock building up. Cannot sell what people aren't turning up on !!!!!!!! Thought it was getting close Xmas and then you're selling out Lee!
Your doing well Lee, I knew you would, have the auction prices dropped recently? I know range rovers have dropped a lot again the last month, cheers Mark
No bud old type screw lift with no parts available, also the previous owner had a lot of issues with it, I feel it would of been a constant headache going forward so best to get rid now
@@carukchannel just shows how long I've been out of the trade. we had 4-poster lifts in my day (they replaced the pit lol) and it was wheels and wire strops that used to go.
Hi Lee ( Respected Gentleman ) ! More . . . Papa Oscar Whisky Echo Romeo to your Elbow ! I hope you have a really successful weekend, Good Sir👍going positively forward regards ramping up the action ! N.B. 🤔🧠💭 Why not get a suitable Four Poster 🛏 Ramp installed in the future . . . then you can even go to sleep 😴💤💤💤💤 🛌 there from an elevated position when it is absolutely necessary & don't forget at the same time to also obtain an appropriate set of curtains for it ? 😉😀🤭😂👍
@@carukchannel bought a insignia 2011 one owner 11 months MOT 120 thou mileage but fly wheel is getting noisy I paid 650 Fitbit is it worth doing the fly wheel and clutch done
Those Corsas were an embarrassment to Vauxhall , absolute garbage , good example the young lad at my local Tesco has a 1.4 Corsa 2010 version he paid £2500 for it a few months ago and now has to spend £500 on head gasket and another £500 for a timing chain kit , not brilliant Vauxhall , when i told the kid that i paid £600 for my old Mitsubishi and its never had any issues in 7 years he was not very happy lol the reason is Japanese car manufacturers always build the mechanicals of their vehicles to last , there is some law in Japan that states a vehicle must last a minimum of 10 years and also it brings personal shame to the car companies there if they sold unreliable vehicles , We need this type of high standard in the UK
hi, i still like but behave. i lived in crewe for 15 years. it wasnt you at the time i bought two right old bangers. arthur daley comes to mind. your buying at 500 to 750 and then selling at 2995. you must know things like that happen. and then you have sold out.
Enjoy, also new auction video landing in the coming days 👍

I have had a couple of ageing Scenics dead cheap - 90k milers for a few hundred quid. Far more reliable than I could have hoped for.

Nice one Lee a right good touch with getting hold of your old ramp I look forward to the auction vids lov um have a top week pal 🙂🔧✌️

Location is always key Lee, looks a very good spot you are in fella
Cheers again
Really glad you have sold a few cars. It's a shame about the ramp, but it's a good thing you got that portable one. Keep up the good work
How about a gazebo or even an awning to keep the cars dry during / after a valet? Save having to take up workshop space.
Really pleased that your business is doing well. Long may it last.
Lee, your channel is great, you get a lot of people sniffing around and buying your cars.. I think I may have to pop down to check out some of the motors, as you put it, ‘Boddy Dazzlers’😊. Keep it up..

I decided to visit your dealership at night after my trip from wales, and I can say with confidence, I love it.
Business is booming , great idea to create a successful TH-cam channel in order to supply potential customers 👍

Always look forward to your uploads Lee. Looks like it's good money, but not easy money. You work hard, well done with new venture 👍
I don't know many dealers of cheaper cars that prep cars like you do, and look after the customer so well if something goes wrong.
Thanks maddpunx,
Did Ford call the Ka a K A in the UK? In Australia they called them Kah,
Sounds like things are going well Lee apart from the ramp hiccup which could of been a lot worse….look forward to the auction video
thanks wayne
You're doing well because you are honest
Thanks
Glad to see you're doing so well Lee 🤝 nice to know a good customer is flying, hopefully see you next Thursday 🔨🔨
Great thinking to use the corsa as a parts car for the money it owed you.
30th of October what a day also was my 54th birthday, well done to the best car dealer in the North Lee at the car pitch.
Looking forward too the auction video 👍👍

Get that old ramp round the scrap yard Lee. Help pay towards the one you just got as a replacement.

Not suprised, few people want EV cars
Just put a pit in
Sounds like you need some help already, eg retired bloke on flexitime doing odd jobs.
