- IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE... BUY IT! (or did we just get scammed?)
It's gotta be dodgy when it's this cheap right? We found this car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The asking price is less than half any other comparable car. So of course we immediately went out to buy it. But, as the old saying goes: if it's too good to be true... BUY IT before someone else does!

My buddy got a Cheryl's box, so I grabbed a signed copy of the book for his Christmas. That'll be one happy chap. Greetings from Boston, MA - Aaron (5.3 LS turbo 2001 Mustang) and Adam (2.3-16 Mercedes 190E)
TURBO!!!!!
My civic poster came damaged put a ding on yours so it matches 🤣
I think Food Runs with MCM needs to be an entire series.
Mighty Food Runs! Would totally subscribe lol
They should do a bring a fan for kababs that would be cool.
As an American, I assumed a “kebab” was a stick with meat and vegetables on it. Looks like a Greek Gyro to me.
I would watch every episode :D they could even do it on MCM2 next to the Unicorn circuit and such!
@@dbeasleyphx I think they idea is they grill the meat and veggies on the stick, then they put it in flatbread for eating, so we Americans only got the first half of the equation on kebabs.
What happened here is, the dealer had this car on the lot, some gronk crashed it while that driving it, the dealer did an insurance claim and fixed the car for sale.
I got 2 questions
1. Was this video recorded "long" time ago? Wasn't the A3 sold to get the WRX?
2. Was Marty at the beginning taping with cloth hockey tape?
Hockey tape in Australia is very expensive. We don't use it like Canadians lol
built in november '15, marty said it was five years old
@@StanleyKubick1 11'15 would be MY16, they stop building model year 2015 around end of June.
It's Tesa cloth tape used for wiring
wonder if they already caught it up. i guess they wouldn’t make the same videos they already made for the first brz
so a kabob is a burrito 🤣 i pictured a different type of kabob
You should buy that Citroen standing beside 😁
VVTi 1UZ swap! (apparently its almost a direct bolt in, which means it probably isnt and you guys love that stuff XD )
Now I want a Kabab, loved the part about sister and massage parlour haha
Im seriously a fan of the mcm food review.
This needs to be a thing..
Hi guys.
Love those cars would like to own one, one day.
Just one thing.... Here in South Africa we call those delicious things you ate a Wrap and if its in a pita bread.. a schwarma. A kebab here is a stick with meat and onions , sometimes green bell peppers added to it and barbequed over hot coals.
Love your show a lot and dont miss a video.
Forget the brz, that s5 fc vert!!
Should have gotten the Citroen C4 next to it
Surely it just makes more sense to just use it as a track car and then you wouldn’t have any of those worries. Yeah sure you’d have to tow it to the track with another car but then it would be an actual track car
Fully interested in video. . . . Thinking Porsche, cheap BMW m3 or something nice.. . . . . . Hits out with brz. Goodbye 🤣😂
so a new rs3 is 56k in the US.....I need a better paying job
You can’t even drive it home? Australia just seems like a failed police state lately.
what happened to the rs3? no new videos on it?
What car is that black 90's convertible?
Ahaha been waiting for this! That was me in the golf 😂 cheers again you legends 🤟🏼
This had a great unscripted vibe. Natural conversation between two good friends that know each other so well. Fun road trip.
Proud owner of your old Lotus here! Had no idea you sold your old BRZ, guess this was filmed quite a while ago, were you able to register this one?
Hows the car? They did a lot of work on it...
@@michaelrajkumar9538 its a beast and sounds amazing, had a picture of one on my mirror for so long, dream ticked off!
@@michaelrobson1627 congrats, bro
@@michaelrobson1627
Congrats, bro. How long did it take you to find lift?
@@negativeindustrial hahahaha... i finally put it on the track at marulan on the weekend and it was bloody epic, its set up so well!
I need a t shirt with " I don't pay asking price for shit" lol
Except it always seems he pays full price sight unseen in the night...
I love the pay it forward and shoutout to the kebab shop, the hearts of these guys and being ambassadors to a mental health organisation really shows the intentions of 2 boys from Sydney with humble beginnings. Much love to you guys and everyone involved with such an amazing channel and brand.
“ if it’s too good to be true , buy it”. That is my new motto 🤣🤣
In my experience too good to be true means it’ll break down on you 3 times requiring a tow within the span of two months. My skills at assessing the condition of a car are… way worse than I’d hoped.
Same lol 😝
Bought my current car with same principle and it works 😁
uh oh
Use the same moto for cryptos lol
Honestly, for that price, gut it and turn it into a full on track car with all the mods, aero, carbon fiber panel replacements etc. You should be able to at least get your money back on it (cost of mods included) if you turn it into a track monster, even if it is unregistered. Could make for an awesome series, would watch for sure.
Build a full on race car.
And bring back Mechanical Stig and Turbo Yoda!
time attack car! Boing 787 wings, the full shebang!
Dream coming true
yee! what's up with Turbo yoda and stig where they at?
@@christophersonawane They both have their own channel, The Skid Factory and Benny's Custom Works
YESSSSAASS
You've got to love these guys. So genuine. You guys deserve all the success you have achieved
Moog: we gotta move some cars to make space for new cars
Marty: and I've got a few mad projects to finish
Us: *heavy breathing*
I know exactly how he feels... 3 bikes and 2 cars need work at my place. Big oof.
i know something else that will make you breath heavy
@@JorgeMArtinez-gc3cu Cardio?
Man they had me so hyped when I saw the rx7, then I got disappointed as soon as I heard them say "rod knock" 😢
I was hoping it was the fc too, clickbait got me...
Really really really enjoyed the last 4 minutes especially. It's fun to see you guys just kicking it and adventuring
Yup same here!! Haha
The last 4 minutes I didn't watch lmao here on my second visit
That was a craig ferguson worthy awkward pause after talking about getting kicked in the balls by a bull.... glad I didn't skip the drive to the dealership.. best 4x4/animal husbandry channel on youtube...
smell my finger?
Pretty sure he said emu and not bull
Agreed. My reaction was similar to Marty's.
Boys! I’ve been following you boys for years but I’ve got to say that format was so fresh and exciting all over again! Whatever you’re having for breakfast, I want some! Peace and love from the U.K. dudes 👍🇬🇧
"the sister had some panel damage" jesus christ mate, i laughed!
City miles
The banter in the car is just the best! Reminds me of me and my friends on the way to go do something stupid...and looking forward to it!
Hey guys I drive a 7 car carrier Melbourne to Brisbane and back weekly. If you need any car moved let me know. Been watching since martys mums driveway and would love the chance to meet and help out.
Well, there will be absolutely no use for me watching how registering this car in Australia works. Would definitely watch it. 😂
I've been considering moving there long term. Just the drivers license rules/regs alone got a bit confusing. 😂 still doing research though, and things may change by the time I'm ready to move.
I basically just needs an engineer's certificate but there will be limitations on insurance.
You know you’ve become worldwide when there’s knock off merch on amazon
@Dr. Mantis Toboggan hahaha
When you can live by the philosophy "if it's too good to good to be true, buy it." You're living a good life.
Marty's face during the "balls exploded" chat in the car !!😵💫🤯🤢😱🥴
"Her sister's had some panel damage" That cracked me up
Based on Martin's explanation of the dealer putting the car in his own name and then selling it to Martin that tells me he's trying to evade taxes or government supervision so that he can clear more money for himself. Shady stuff LOL
"Allegedly" A lot of mechanics here in the UK will ask if you're paying by cash or card.
Cash will be 20% cheaper because they won't put it in the books, and you won't have to pay the VAT on it (tax)
Yup, it's called floating the title here in the US. Double bonus for the dealer, when they sell it to themselves, they can put whatever price they want and write it off as a loss.
Thats exactly what he is doing - former ato officer
I assume also because it's a personal sale not a dealer sale, the dealer isn't on the hook for any statutory warranty. Here in SA all cars bought from a dealer come with 3 month warranty, but if you buy it from guy who works there and not the dealership I'd imagine there's no warranty.
Thanks friends. I knew I wasn't to crazy 🤣
£5,102.98 for a decent repaired BRZ? Now that's a steal!!
It's crazy how big you have become. So big, someone is selling bootleg MCM merch on Amazon. (the lanyard plug reminded me I saw it last week)
@@gabbyg917 I guess its Gabby g who sells bootleg MCM merchandise 😂
Why though MCM has good prices and shipping is dirt cheap. To Ireland it was 7euro compared to Cleetus McFarland Charing 30 from the US and Australia is sooooooo much further away
I saw the chopped sticker on Ali
@@Noxidsignorantia From what I can tell US shipping companies charge a bomb for international packages, all sorts of people I trust haven't been able to find decent prices.
“I’m not paying asking price, because I don’t pay asking price for shit!” Best quote ever Moog
That’s dirt cheap for a BRZ. My question is: How is that black Holden Astra priced at 4990? In the UK, a mint, low mileage one would fetch maybe £1000! Either way, looking forward to the project.
The Aus car market is messed up. That's the short of it haha
Then it costs 2000 quid to insure.
In Australia, to register and insure (compolsary third party) that car would be $400 dollarydoos.
Also 4990aud is like £2700
@@TheosEpicVideos it definitely wouldn't be 2000 quid to insure in the UK for a driver with afew years no claims
Shit I thought I was the only one to notice this! 😂
Nice one, I paid £5,5k for my damaged GT86, costed me about £8,5k in total to bring it back on roads. Love these cars. Soo much fun for so little.. well done MCM 🤞🏻
There was an old astra in the back for 5k! They're about 500 pounds in the UK 😂
AUD is about double GBP, but I still wouldn't pay £2500 for an astra haha!
Cars aren't cheap here. Taxes taxes taxes
@@DCactivity exactly haha
Import costs, taxes and cars last forever here because they don't rust so they hold their value longer. My car is 30 years old so it has no rust prevention galvanising done to it in the factory...has no rust on it at all. Actually it's the plastics and rubber that is starting to deteriorate from uv, heat and age as well as the clear coat.
But the much more modern Fiesta isn’t much more!
I've driven passed that dealership so many times and always thought they looked super dodgy. The food truck just down the road from it is pretty good though.
I had to stop 5 minutes into this video to write this because suddenly I had a flash of the time you guys bought the Nissan 350Z...
I hope it has all its doors
Thought the whole time this was a joke and you were going to turn around and be like jokes were buying this RX7
I secretly hoped that they would buy the Citroën C4
I'm still sure this is what is going to happen 😂
@@nickcook85 hope so then they can have a convertible vs hardtop RX7 race haha
I bought a 2015 brz 2 weeks ago and im loving it
3:35 - Marty mentioning an emu farm is the most Aussie thing in the world.
A mate of mine won 10k from Zoo magazine back in the day coz he said he'd use the money to make an Emu Polo farm. Spent it all on patying instead.... i guess the moral of the story is to never give an 18yr old 10k. or that us aussie sure love us some emus....
MCM has literally made kebabs the car guys choice of food, every time me and the fellas fix something, the kebabs are on their way
Please team up with turbo Yoda and fit a bara,1j/2j, LS, Honda k engine into it
K swap would be legit
hahaha this is almost exactly image how I picked up my 86, country VIC car that was in a front and rear - repaired properly but there was a lot of "18-and-think-this-is-cool" interior mods and eBay axle back fart cannon. Negotiated it to under 10k at a dodgy Dandenong dealers and it's a perfect build car, not so nice that I care about changing shit but nice enough that I can drive it.
To be fair on the front bumper, even cars that haven't been smashed do that. The good news is that like everything else with them, there are a range of OEM replacement clips, to aftermarket metal clamps, to quick release tabs you can get to fix it.
these days it seems that barely bumping the nose can pop those seams out. so flimsy a lot of the time.
@@ghomerhust With good reason. They’re no longer structurally there to improve crash safety. So a bump will push them out of alignment and save your wings etc. The legit crash structure is beyond the bumper. I’m my old bmw if I bump the front it would most likely shunt everything else out of alignment.
So is that the Australian version of a rebuilt or salvage title car? In the US those cars are cheap, but sometimes you have a headache to register them.
For a split second I thought - OMG they’ve gone Euro with a Citroen C4 and are going to turn it into a robot like the adverts…another time lads
C4 shares a platform with the RCZ-R. That would be one hell of a sleeper!
For a brief moment I was fooled, then I remembered Moog said he owned one and never said he sold it, and it though it can't be that
Will there ever be any love for french cars on this channel? I like to fantasise there will be
I've had my 86 for three years now, daily drive it and still love it as much as when I bought it. Such fun cars.
What year you got
And probably worth as much still too
Heck ya, another episode!
Aww that’s cute! Marty said he would trade Moog and then admitted to setting up cams for Animal Husbandry!
I really enjoy these types of episodes. Wish I could meet yall in person. Love how down to earth yall are and you seem like the type of guys I'd hang out with. Keep up the awesome work.
Ive been watching you two for years and it is always a pleasure to watch.🤙
I live in the western US. I could register a half eaten ham sandwich in my state
I'm not sure about the laws in Oz, but over here in germany, there's laws forcing a dealership to have a warranty for a car. It's for stuff that might go unnoticed during the sale process.
And most shady dealers try to go around that by writing/saying that they're selling the car on behalf of a customer, which theoretically means that you're buying a car off a person and the dealership is just the middleman.
My guess is that it's the same case with this guy, he's just trying to avoid being held liable for anything about the car, the price being a third of actual market value just confirms that.
dudes! I really love your conversations, like the one with the ex gilfriend analogy, hahaha!
Short answer is this: You get what you pay for.
Longer story is that you just bought "content". This thing could in fact be a whole season deal, with road trips and such to get it all handled. For a TH-cam channel such as yours, this car is a blessing and the story will surely make for compelling watching. Thanks guys!
I was secretly hoping Moog was going to buy another ultra silly super cheeze 🧀 show car, only because those seem to inspire the best songs... 🤣 🐐🐐🐐
Damn I should have stuck to my asking price haha. Great video guys 👍
Marty's new motto: "It's going to be in me."
You guys should buy a towtruck :D small mods and you save a lot of time and effort in hauling
I thought Moog got rid of the RS3 for the STi?!
I think this was filmed before Moog sold the RS3. In one of the more recent earlier vids - possibly a unicorn circuit ep, they mentioned that there were a few project cars in the pipeline that they haven't revealed yet. This must be one of them... I know in the past they've revealed cars then said nothing about them for months due to other projects, which has resulted in 1000's of "where is the xyz" comments, so it makes sense they decided to sit on the vid till they could work on the car.
You should do a series on how to repair a repairable written off car, as more often than not for some people that want a cool car have to go for a write off. As once repaired they can be really cheap and sometimes cost half than an non written off example
Marty's face when he's hearing about balls being exploded/destroyed is the same face he makes when he's afraid Rodney is going to make a return.
Ya feel it in your TOES. *shudder*
I bought a 2001 PT cruiser off of Facebook marketplace I got a pretty good car 107,000 miles on it everything works on it Got it for US $2800
Liking the new approach recently really cool to see you guys just chilling together I think that part is just as dope as getting the car, always got a genuine vibe from you guys in general but it's really cool just to see a part of the journey where it's just you guys being you keep it up and keep it real you guys have some real character when you get together and it's why I also like the unicorn circuit 🤘🤙✌️
As someone who did a repairable write off re rego in Sydney I bought the car from auction in nsw it was registered in wa and when it was written off in nsw it was repairably written off I sent it to qld ‘transferred’ the rego to someone else’s name had to sign a stat dec saying I sold it to them they took it over the pits about $500 registered it up there sent it back transferred it back to me took at back over the pits in parramatta $500 and then it was registered in nsw and running also fairly sure I didn’t need receipts for repairs and the car wasn’t even repaired because it was hail damaged they just checked everything drove straight and was in decent condition
The 86 twins are all about being fun to drive, are they low on power even compared to a camry, yes, but its a riot to drive every time and I think they look fantastic (especially IRL the curves don't come across as well on camera). I cant imagine selling mine as there is nothing modern to compare to for price/fun ratio. So glad to have more BRZ stuff on MCM.
Hot tip: Don’t eat lunch watching them drive to the car. When Marty says Emu Farm stop or skip 60 sec - thank me later
But that’s the best part!
that thing better go pshhhh pshhhh when you're done!
These cars are so much fun!! Looking forward to seeing the build 🤙🏼
A little over 6700 USD for a salvage repaired BRZ that worst case scenario is a track car? Thats an absolute steal
Holey Crap! You drove past an IGA. I bet you still have, Blockbuster there too.
More high quality bogan content 🤘 strap in (or on) boys! 🤣
What is that car as they come in to the dealership on the left? The convertible that Marty didn’t like! 😂 actually kinda like it!
moog is like me when going to buy a car and marty is like my girlfriend always slackin loll
3.5 million subscribers makes the whole money bit kind of annoying
Love Marty’s expressions when Moog is talking about ball exploding. Funny enough, my facial expressions were about the same
Perfect 86 race car .. imagine a mighty car mods 86 race car at the supercar races .......
As long as you can rego the car and its put together good you got a awesome deal on a nice car
Hand down THE BEST BROMANCE ON TH-cam :D Down to earth guys and love the chill unscripted vibe :D
Damn, I got super excited when I saw that FC turbo, was really hoping that was the one you were buying. I almost bought a clapped out big single turbo FC back in high school. That old school 80s boost lag is hilarious fun.
I have one I'm fixing currently, I can't wait to get it sideways
Was there a car in this video? After seeing that kabob I forgot.
Stands right next to an FC turbo convertible and dude buys a BRZ. -_-
I had one, they aren’t great, plus in Australia that Vert would have been $25k +
Shout out to the car yard give ‘em a plug !! Not many good ones around.
Döner for 12 bucks - yeah.
I like how, if there are only a few Turks in your country, they are actually speaking English very well, because they are forced to do it.
I cannot hear my own language even when I walk 500 meters to the next store.
12 bucks is only 9 US! But the bit about languages is true.
@@henry3457 that's 6/7 euros; average price in The Netherlands, yet still quite the ripoff
For a Greek that is a rip-off, you'd pay half that in Greece for a top quality gyros. That said for Sydney that's not a bad price
Worst case track Subaru BRZ for under 10k is a killer deal.
Ok.....so I've been trying to wrap my head around this the whole time I've been watching y'all's videos.....a "kabab" in your part of the world is a kin to a gyro in the states?! 🤯🤯😂🤘🔥 Been watching y'all for years now, love all of it!!! Cheers from Winder Ga USA!!!
It's called kebab or doner kebab in Europe too. Not kabab, it's just the Ozzie pronounciation. :) Cheers from Kajaani, Finland, northern Europe!
Similar. A gyro is a greek dish, the kebab is middle eastern. A gyro also often has a thicker pita. I would say that the construction is similar, but the ingredients are very different.
pretty much
kebab is turkish
gyros is greek
You can find a kebab in Georgia.
I think so. It has other names in other parts of Australia from yiros, souvlaki and kebab.
Giros is the correct spelling but Yiros is the correct sounding...(phonetically)
Kebab is the Turkish wording and usually has a weird meat loaf thing that I personally dislike.
I always get a lamb yiros with raw onion, tomato, garlic sauce but no lettuce and instead add tabouleh.
What about that FC behind you.... I would love to see that build
Got my GT86 for £9000 and I'm loving it.
Please please wrap it lime green with silver flake in it please!
