You need to set yourself some sort of challenge for next year... Start off with a couple of hundred quid banger and work your way up to 20K profit in 12 months or something. That would make a great watch 👍🏻
Thats what i call a quick turn round, you didnt even have to put fuel in it lol. Once in a while the dice rolls in our favour and a nice little earner pops up . Thanks for sharing Rob.
It's very rare these days to get someone who actually describes a car right when selling it I got stung on a ford s max which wasn't cheap I wish all sellers were like this guy honesty is always the best policy. Brilliant video mate 👍
Great work sir! I'm currently doing a similar challenge, working my way up from a £150 banger to something a bit more tasty! Great video and very informative!
5 years ago I brought a 2007 zafira, £900 92k on the clock! All because it had been keyed on one panel, cost me £10 for a paint match and a steady hand spit and polish and she's still going strong and it's only just hit 96k. Very pleasant seeing g this video pop up 👍🏻
Great video as usual. Keep em coming I’m really enjoying the channel. Love your 100% honest approach to what you do and how you convey it to the audience.
Original owner was happy, new owner is happy and you're happy... What's not to like? Interesting video. I had a mate who would haunt the big car auctions looking for dirty, muddy, unkempt cars. He'd buy one, drive it back, get it valeted and then put it through the auction again. That's all he did, cosmetic stuff. He'd always turn a profit on every one without getting oily ever!
Just an idea for you. These can be bought cheap now but convert it to wheelchair accessible removing the back seats and a cut and weld to the floor and they make 3.5 - 4k ... just look on eBay.
My man is Russian subscriber again thanks for video still waiting for coffee invitation.And hell yeah you sound like proper teacher man your speech is incredible I do clearly understand all what u saying God bless you please more video
Really enjoyed this video Rob. What is good is you shifted it quickly and let someone else make some money out of the car (after gearbox) or grab a good keeper.
You're a good man: honest and settling for enough by doubling your money 😎 nice to hear straight mechanics/dealers. Even better you're near my Island, even if I live 500 miles North of Edinburgh 🏝️
I normally use TH-cam for watching motorcycle stuff but stumbled across your channel and am working my way through your videos. This is a great channel with fantastic content, always interesting and really enjoyable to watch, especially so with me being a mechanical numpty. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Really enjoying the cheap car challenge, i did a fair bit in the day. In fact looking for another now. Bangers are best is my moto. Keep up the good work.
Nice one Rob. My son use to buy valet and resell on cars and 99% of the time,made a good profit,most times by just valeting and buffing up faded exterior paintwork and made them look like showroom condition.
Brilliant video mate Following you like a hawk as I want to start doing Copart purchases etc and it’s good to see a down to earth tell how it is kind of person doing videos . Keep it up
Enjoyable video, I used to find a lot of my old motors on drives etc, but those days are long gone thanks to DVLA and all vehicles having to be sorned, insured etc etc😢😢😢
Nice quick turn around with that one Rob. Just shows what a good clean can do for a car. I'm the same as you a car has to be clean to sell for good money. Keep em coming. Great to see more varied videos.
I admire your honesty when you sell a car 👍 it’s such a shame there are a few unscrupulous sellers out there that’ll tuck you up, had a few myself in the past. Well done, good sale 👍
Cracking videos- your channel is Breath of Fresh air compared to some others out there. Got me hooked and can’t wait for the next one, Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Nice work pal, when you're picking something up for that cheap it is just worth advertising as you get it as there will always be a market for spares/repairs with cars like this.
@@sruk You sold the car on for less than the buyer wanted to give to you (this happened to me when I bought my first ever car years ago). Some say that it brings the buyer good luck with the vehicle they are buying, like an old superstition.
I loved the video, nice to mix up the content. At the end of the day you are the one taking the risk on the purchase, so really happy you made a profit. Keep up the good work 👍
Have you tried Carly ODB adapter. Really convenient and easy to use. Uses an app that you install on your phone so no need to carry any large monitors around, fits in your pocket.
Had a zafira for years..great work horse. Gearbox casing is why the bearings wear out..been new updated gearbox case out for good few years..had mine done lasted years
Almost bought one actually,just because you said that the 6 speed manuals tend to fail at some times. For a car that I would like to have for 4+ years,it better have a good engine(Diesel only!!) and a great manual transmission
Traction control light is on because of the C0131 error code, not because of a wheel speed sensor. Only way to fix that is to fit a new hydraulic unit. Very common problem with the Teves MK70 system and affects many makes and models. Ford, Volvo, BMW, VW, Seat, Peugeot...
I’m selling one of these for spares. Perfect engine, gear box. Drives perfect. Looks perfect. Burgundy. Only con is it’s Irish reg so it’s Opel instead of Vauxhall
Ive got that model zafira but the last year they made it 2014. Got it 3 years ago on gumtree for 4100 and I love the car its the 1.8 petrol at 70k miles in black...the guy sold it on a whim and had loads of calls for it I was the lucky first person. Its been a great car for me. Apparently they are very popular for uber drivers.
1.9 cdti chocolate box we went with the 1.8 sri 140 comes with f17 box which you can pick up cheap only thing is there a 5speed and sound like they're about to blow up in 5th but if you buy a 1.7d box put all the gears into the f17 you got the d gear range then and acts like a 6 speed also to turn traction control off and on hold sport button and that seatbelt buckle in the back is probably goofed there are known for jamming and the side casing pops off
Best channel on TH-cam in my opinion. Really enjoying your videos and love the way you talk you sound like jays dad off inbetweeners if you don’t mind me saying haha, keep smashing these videos mate 👍🏽
You need to set yourself some sort of challenge for next year... Start off with a couple of hundred quid banger and work your way up to 20K profit in 12 months or something. That would make a great watch 👍🏻
sounds a great idea. build up profit to be able to buy a supercar or similar from copart and fix it up
Mike Brewer did two series of this. Wheeler Dealers trading up.
@@JakeAndDaddy yes but hes a lot better than mike brewer hence why I'd love to see it done
And let’s be honest, brewer probably had help and I’m sure the sums didn’t add up right?
HMRC would be all over him lol
Wish there were more people like you in the world. Top guy
sheepdogman1 cheers mate
Good video. Would definately want to see similar ones like this
Nick White cheers mate I enjoyed doing it 👍
Love the videos haven't got a clue about fixing cars but hooked 👌
Yet again another amazing video I find myself checking TH-cam notifications waiting for your next vids so informative looking forward to next one 👍

Nice one Rob, we used to buy cars from one auction, ship them to another down south and get more money for them. Good old days. Love the channel.

Great video as usual. Keep em coming I’m really enjoying the channel. Love your 100% honest approach to what you do and how you convey it to the audience.
Great video , common problem bearings fail in the m32 don’t blame you for not bothering to fix it . Nice to see you on cam aswell .good luck

I first thought there was something else wrong at that price but should be a good project. Like to see all the repair. Thanks

I love your videos and every time I learn something new from you . Thanks
Big kudos for you for helping that elderly couple the other day. X
Hannah Williams it had to be done . Thank you 😊
Great Rob. Fantastic to have a quick turnaround and a decent profit too. Well done.

I love this video. You make it seem so easy to flip a car for a decent profit. Thanks for putting the video out there

Tim Fenton cheers tim 👍
Amazing how you explain your fixes keep it up I used to watch quest channel on t v not got a patch on your videos brilliant
You are on to something with these cheap salvage videos mate, they are really entertaining and most importantly they are no money.
Brilliant video mate
Following you like a hawk as I want to start doing Copart purchases etc and it’s good to see a down to earth tell how it is kind of person doing videos . Keep it up
Love your videos & all the makes/models of cars you do. It's a great feeling doubling your money & well done. Keep the great content coming.
I like the fact that you were able to flip it and I would like to see more of these videos
That's one great video Rob so different from the salvage videos. More of both please Rob cannot get enough.
Great deal. Of course your knowledge limits the risk.
Enjoyable video, I used to find a lot of my old motors on drives etc, but those days are long gone thanks to DVLA and all vehicles having to be sorned, insured etc etc😢😢😢

Well done Rob- another good, honest vid of what can be done and no-one stiched up.

I'm going to change your channel name to 'The Man With The Golden Touch', as everything you seem to touch turns to gold LOL.
Bootneck it’s all hard work honest lol
