- Another day as a used car dealer. Today a customer decided to take one of my cars (Jaguar XF) on the road without consent. He managed to get a couple of hundred yards down the road and he crashed into another car head on.

This has to be my best car trade story yet 🤣
If you’ve got a better one I wanna hear about it…
Was he trying to steal the jag?
Back in the day I sold a Cavalier Sri to a mate, he wrapped it round a lamppost before paying me the full amount for it. I chased him for a while for the remaining money, until he died of an overdose... Bit of a shitter all round. Late '90's.
How much did you charge him? 🤣
@@alimajid7761 £100 😕
Put some cheap dash cams in your cars that you getting customers to come look at
"You've bought yourself a nice Jaguar haven't ya" hahaha
🤣 classic comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best TH-cam quote of 2021
I can’t believe you said that
Was a nice Jaguar
“Bought yourself a nice Jaguar haven’t you”
Top level shithousery from Calvin 😂😂
i would've lost it 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Yeah tbf he had some stones to do that haha! No idea what the dude was like, if he's gonna pull his car out without consent, god knows what else he'd do...
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
@@mrgdc7120 nothing lol I think calv would knock him out no trouble.
He's clearly forgotten he's in England, well done.
He's incredibly lucky that it was a fairly evenly matched car he hit, had that been some old French hatchback this could have been much worse.
If it was an old Frenchie the engine would've been in the boot 🤣🤣🤣
But managed to buy a Jag. on the spot with his debit card......
@@ScrogginsTheCove Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't kick up much fuss about that.
Not true these days. I have a 307 xsi. Over a decade ago, some idiot in a Carpark reverse hit Volvo v40 into my car on the passenger front side at full speed from 300m away. My pug was 2 years older than his. My car had 3k worth of repairs but his car car was a write off.
Either they planned to steal the car or he was going way to fast round corner and that how he ended up in wrong lane, probably combination of both him stealing car and driving off to fast.
“I must admit its abit achey round here” 👀😂😂😂 after that whiplash claim old boy is. fair play haha
dont blame him, id be after thousands
@@kirmy1 the maximum you can get from whiplash claims is £240 now, new regulations came in this year
@@JO-ey7ur Not just for whiplash, for his hand and shoulders etc
To be fair to him. He probably won't feel most of the pain until a few days after. Head on collision. Dont be to harsh on him ffs🤣
He's a rookie, he admitted his wrist wasn't broken when he should've been exaggerating
Calvin pulled out the card machine and was like time to pay up mate 🤣 liked the style of videoing you did in this
In a couple of weeks
"I bought my old jag from copart" 😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% he was told he could take that car for a spin 😂 shit hits the fan no no no I never said you could do that 🤣
Yep, otherwise he would have chased him down the road for stealing the car...but didn't?
Exactly
You would think he would have stayed with the customer or had a sales rep stay with him. If you give your car keys to someone or even leave them in your car then most insurance companies will not cover you for theft. At least that's what it says in the small print on my insurance.
@@stephenjones9153 I would have thought he would have had a traders policy mind you
Exactly what I thought. Bloke who runs this channel probably could not be happier when he heard the guy crashed
Glad you got your money mate. You handled the whole situation well 👏 the customer literally drove off without paying, madness. Big up yourself as always
Fair play to him for paying - half expected him to do one saying he "have no moneys"
Lol yea I thought he was going to do a runner! 🏃🏻♂️🤣
He's just paid for it and now police will sieze it now for not having insurance 🤣
@@JD-eo7dr depends if he has another policy that covers him
@@AJAnewage wouldn't matter, even if he's insured to drive other cars, the car needs to be insured by someone else annually regardless, as cal said it wasn't insured at all
@@beddo657 ahh true said it wasn't taxed or insured didn't he my bad
His description of the accident was brilliant 😂😂
What part of technically stealing a car did he think was at any point plausibly explained away after a head on crash where it's blatant that he's entirely on the wrong side of the road? Some absolute weapons running about!🤣
He was driving in the middle of the road so your logic was to swerve right into his lane to avoid him? Is that before or after you realised youd taken a car for a test drive without permission?
He was probably driving on the right side of the road because that's what he's used to doing in Poland or wherever he's from
@@tommodobbo3475 no mate he's gone round bend to fast and ended up on wrong side of road and hit merc.
he is from north macedonia and i know the guy personaly 😂 i thought we macedonian speak better english 😂😂😂 i feel bad for the owner of that car such a $$$ loss
Fair play to you for remaining so calm, I’m not sure I would’ve managed to be the same way!
I like this video.... I cannot understand why he drove off with your car, what a bloody crazy guy.... This video went down well with me because it details an eventful day for a car trader, no dragy times or similar, just a gritty insight into the going-ons in the trade.... brilliant stuff mate and glad you got payment and nobody got seriously hurt
Calv, this is the best one yet. Would love to see his face when you pulled out the card machine.
This comment had me laughing 😂😂😂
🤣
The guy thought he was still abroad driving on the right 🙄🤦🏽♂️ poor jag RIP 🪦
Spot on
Yea,he forgot that in the UK you drive on the wrong side of the road 😂
Prob straight from calais 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@flippingcarsrepairs Or a dinghy
@@MattyEngland haha you no it
Calvin you are a ledge mate, well done for staying calm and collected - i would be livid if some bloke stole my car and crashed it straight away.. good on him for actually paying for it too and owning up to it
No chance he took it without consent, it was the old "yeah mate take it for a spin"
Bruh, grabbed your mobile payment machine to the accident?!?
Well Calvin, I give you an “A” for effort, lol!
As if he just paid for the car no question lol
@@123MondayTuesday
Quick thinking on Calvins part, likely saved him some headache.
Can't believe he paid you for the car!
If he didn't pay for it he would be getting charged with theft of a motor vehicle aswell as no Insurance etc
@@mr_jamie_f Straight to jail if he did not pay. But fair dos for paying even so. What made him just take it though?
If I’m honest Calvin, despite the situation you handled that incredibly well and done the right thing. No respect from the guy driving off without payment and doing what he wants. Glad you got your money and declared it his problem. Top notch stuff!
@@philcliffe6909 as he should have. The guy stole his car and essentially took it for a joy ride. Not a customer anyone would want.
@@philcliffe6909 I'm not saying he tried to make off with the damn thing. I'm saying he took it without permission. That's still theft. Car is low value and was ultimately paid for, with a police presence.
Not sure what you're really getting at here. Guys an asshole. Doubt Calvin's losing any sleep over this lost customer.
@@philcliffe6909 😂😂 think your knickers are a bit twisted Phil, calm down you bellend. If you get this upset over car vids I'm not sure the internet's for you
@@philcliffe6909 Fuckin hell you're still going on 😂 good man
He was lost,not robber. 😏
you handled this really well Calvin, nice work and video mate!
You handled that situation so well.
You kept calm and lucky managed to get the money out of him!
So the reality is that he stole your car, drove it without insurance and tax then wrote it off and you sold it to him afterwards! Boy is he going to be in loads of trouble 😂😂
@@philcliffe6909 It's not a test drive unless the dealer has agreed... taking a car from a dealer when they hand you the keys for a test drive prior to informing them is theft
@@philcliffe6909 Is that what they call it now ?
Hmm, ok then, I am off to test drive a mclaren.
@@philcliffe6909 I agree, I don’t think he was intentionally trying to steal the car or get away with it. But I mean in general taking it for a test drive without consent legally would fall under theft regardless of his intentions
@@Transformita it’s twock not theft
@C Hartnett what if Calvin told him to take it for a spin not thinking anything would come of it then when the crash happened said that he took it without consent to cover himself??? A genuine possible alternative whether true or not....
Best car sale I've ever seen, you nicked it you buy it 😂😂
That would have made a great video title 😂😂
amazing how you stayed so calm, and really great the guy actually paid for it
This could have been catastrophic, good job there was no motorbike, cycle or pedestrian coming the other way. Well done getting the wireless card payment device quickly in your CS. You handled that really well, sometimes it's difficult to think on the spot!
Calvin you should invite the Mercedes driver to come view some of your cars, maybe hook him up with something similar or better once he’s got his payout
He will no doubt lol
Calvin is already planning that video 🤣
Hopefully there is some independent witnesses or dash cam footage or the jag driver can claim it was merc drivers fault and ends up as 50/50 and its likely jag drivers insurance company would tell him to deny fault.Happened to me twice even after the other party admitted fault at the roadside.
@@andyhunt457 normally yeah, but looking at where both cars ended up, and the way they must if hit by the crash damage on the front, on that blind corner after stealing the car... I doubt anyone's beliving that yellow shirt guy.
@@DaftFader Trust me when I say that don't matter when it's one person's word against another.Some drove right into the side of me on a roundabout wrote my car off.They admitted it when they got out then changed their minds later on insurance advice as no independent witnesses.I would have had to change the laws of physics to drive my nearside in his front end. Still
made no difference.Police don't do any reports or allocate blame even when they attend and see the obvious like in this case.
maybe jag bloke forgot he wasn’t back in Europe and was on the other side of the road without thinking much of it🤷🏻♂️
He's in Europe now.
We are in Europe.........
@@wadebiddlecombe5486 not anymore
He doesn't sound English, Irish, Maltese or from Cyprus. So you could well be right
@@stichupman 🤦♂️we are in Europe. just not part of the European union
What a video! I was hooked on the story about the A-Class keys but this just takes it to a whole new level!
Well handled Calvin. Although i spotted a missed opportunity. You should have passed your details onto the guy with the smashed up Merc as he will be in the market for a new motor soon !
Handled that brilliantly Calv. These sorts of videos are some of the best out there. Real life vlogs of actual real events. Don’t be afraid to get your phone out more often.
Brilliant video, I love how you keep calm.
I totally get it on the drama big-time. Just chalk it up to a twilight zone day. Glad nobody got really hurt. Keep moving forward brother and stay positive. 🥂🥂 looking forward to the Audi RS3 video…:)
Brilliant thinking taking the card machine, you're a real business man mate!
Hope the guy in the merc is alright and gets paid out without claiming on his own insurance
He’ll still have to declare the accident unfortunately which will still cost him money, lose lose situation!
He will have to claim on his own insurance since the dude in the Jaq went out without traders or his own insurance
Yeah and the driver of the jag won’t be insured as the car wasn’t even his yet haha so he will have to claim
He could make a direct claim with MIB (Motor Insurance Bureau) as the other driver was uninsured.
@@mda5003 Yep may well be a Motor insurers bureau claim. Especially with any injury.They will return to the last known insurer which will probably be the trade insurance.
Great new content Calvin I was starting to drift away from your channel as it was getting a bit same old but thanks you have pulled me back in ! Unlike the crap of LLF.
New subscriber purely on this video, the way you kept cool and dealt with the situation made me hit the button, Glad you got payed from that absolute weapon, credit where credits due your a geezer mate 🤙🏼
You crack me up Calvin ,there’s me thinking dashing back for a Baseball bat 🤗when a entrepreneur like you gets a card machine👍🏻😂Quality my man👌🏻
A base ball bat would just land you in jail.
Dear oh dear there’s always one,Calvin and many others understood the context and the banter In my comment 🤗
You need automatic electric gates on your yard 😜
I was thinking the same - Security gates.
@@konradc12 Or don't give customers the car keys without staying with them.
Calvin’s reaction at 1:41 on cctv slapping his forehead when he’s told what happened is priceless 😂
"What have I learnt? I don't know, I havnt learnt a lot" 🤣 fav part of the vid!
Calvin i like the fact you managed to sell the car after the man managed to crash it thank god for mobile card readers. Keep up the good work mate.
You was incredibly laid back bearing in mind what happened 😂 fair play, handled perfectly
he had a choice pay up or get arrested for stealing the car
At least he paid up and no one was seriously hurt and it was great content tbf and I know u keep away from the drama but I've subscribed because of it 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Absolutely gutting. I was so tempted by this when it was on eBay the other week but couldn't get down to have a look before the ad was pulled.
I hope he gets done for TWOC regardless. That could have been a private seller with not so much savvy who would have just lost out big time.
I don’t know where I saw this but I saw a video of people buying a motorcycle and before they made the payment they started loading it onto the trailer and because it wasn’t balanced it fell straight off the edge.
Unfortunately it will be a fine 😂
It was not insured or taxed, according to Calvin.
Fair play to you Calvin, I know it’s frustrating but you handled it very well
if he sorts the merc owner out .. he will have handled it well
Spotted you in woban yesterday I was in a black crv, keep up the good work Calvin 👍👍
Thanks for sharing this.
It was a bloody nice Jag too!
the guy that stole your car seems a bit unhinged, hopefully you won't see him again. Can't believe he paid for it!
he is in less trouble after paying-
@@rajchauhan-ql3lt Exactly
@@rajchauhan-ql3lt true, you can’t get done for theft of your own car!
@@rajchauhan-ql3lt No he isn't.
@@123MondayTuesday Don't be stupid. weren't his car.
He probably doesn't understand that he's bought the car until he checks his bank balance!!! 🤣
Wow you kept pretty calm,let's hope the guy with the Merc comes to you for a new car, great video .
.
Dude was trying to explain that the Merc came out of the bend in the middle of the road, he panicked and he pulled right to retreat on the side you do feel you are supposed to be on, as an European driver you do have that reflex and it is hard to overcome it, especially if you have more years driving on the right side of the road than you have driving on the left side.
So he was in the wrong in the UK....
Then don't drive in the UK if there's a risk you'll randomly swerve to the wrong side of the road lol
If he paid by credit card just keep a eye out for him to reversing the charge in a month or so
If it was even his credit card in the first place 🤷♂️
@@Alexander_l322 dam that was a bit for the naughty side haha but o think the same hahahah
That could've gone wrong in so many ways Calvin. Glad you haven't taken a financial hit.
Maybe you should however spend on getting a controlled gate to the yard.
I think he's saying that the Mercedes driver was in the middle of the road, and the Jaguar driver swerved to his right to avoid him, but the Mercedes driver also then quickly swerved to the same side.
Definitely possible.
Can't have been a high speed collision. About 30 tops.
Honestly, I don't know how calm you are. I'd be livid but your just like, chill! So funny that you got him to buy the car though after he crashed it. 🤣
Love the fact you run back for the card machine 😂😂👍🏻
Calvins 100% up selling that merc driver when insurance pays out
100% handed him a cheeky business card 😉 😂👌
@@seamless7942 absolutely, never miss a opportunity
Am sure Calvin is the sort of guy that would sort the guy out a decent replacement at a decent price
Who's insurance?
I love the calmness of calvin!
You dealt with the situation so well
The way you grabbed that card machine 🤣🤣 you a money man for real
In true car salesman fashion lol
Sell the guy with the Mercedes something in stock at trade price.Go on would make great content
Best way to make sure that can’t happen again. Is to get the security gates on auto close, so they can only drive out once you open them. The fact that he took it without permission is a bit worrying. So maybe the accident happened to prevent him stealing it. Good thing the Merc driver appears to have minor injuries and I hope it stays that way. Much success to you and love the videos regardless of whether they are planned
Getting both sides of the story even tho he pretty much stole his car. Huge respect. Earnt urself a new subscriber
Don’t leave them with keys, glad your ok Calvin
I can't believe he paid !!!! I bet, he got no licence + insurance !!!!!!
Let's hope he does not do a Section 75 or chargeback claim !!!!!!
Only just watched this after you mentioned it in one of your recent videos. What a weird incident. Glad nobody was seriously hurt and that the chap in the Merc wasn’t left in a “hit by an uninsured driver” situation and could get paid out.
Sad that people will just go off in a car they don’t own, glad you got paid for it though, top video as usual cal keep up the good work mate, take care 👍
You’ll buy it back off him next episode!
😂 and someone will inform you when it’s at co-part auction!
His explanation skills are very similar to Gerald from Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm. It’s very hard to comprehend a word of what they are trying to say!
Calvin's lagit guy,so calm and collected glad it worked out for
Proper entertained me this has Calvin, I am surprised though that you didn't try to sell the Merc man a replacement 😂
I think he was going to have it away with your car. Forgotten what country he lived in and in the panic of getting away he drove on wrong side of road. I feel sorry for the guy in the Mercedes. Hit by a uninsured driver. Now he has to claim off his own insurance. He insurance premium will double next year through no fault of his own.
If he wanted to just nick it then he wouldn’t hand left his mate and he wouldn’t have hung around to pay for the car after he’d crashed it.
Uninsured driver protection potentially, won't have to pay a thing
@@Alexander_l322I think his mate walked back as was only round the corner from crash, not quite sure myself though
Really difficult for the Mercedes driver, but fortunately in the UK we are lucky to have really good value insurance and his premium shouldn't double.
It may go up slightly, but equally, his renewal could still end up cheaper.
My guy Calvin getting payment with no problem. What a ledge 😎😎😎😎
I definitely deserve a #ONIT sticker for that
@@CalvinsCarDiary Card stolen as well?
Clearly driving on the side of the road back at home. Got to admit you was proper sound with what happend. Top man.
Yes yes Calvin!. That was me in the white van today!. Good to see you!. Like i was saying to you we see Dmo about 10 minutes before we see you and I was saying to the mrs that you live up this way and we might see you!. Then about 5 minutes later you drove right past us!!. Lol👍
Calvin, did you throw in a full tank of fuel and some mats for him paying the full asking price.
😂
I’m so shocked he volunteered payment - at least he did the right thing… after taking it without permission 😆
Guessing he didn’t want to get done for car theft
Have you seen the size difference between him and Calvin?
If Calvin came over to you and shoved a card machine in your face… you’re going to put your card in and say yes to the tip! 🤣
2 sides to every story or 2 sides of every road LOL!!! Also everyone is ' my mate ' ' matey boy ' in the car trade... it's how we refer to our paying punter ( customer )... Just lovely, nice vid Calv, what a story!!! Normal day
Love the video. Your lucky the guy didn't just claim twoc as he wouldn't have had to pay anything and walk away with a slap on the wrist which seems to be the reality these days. Glad he paid for the car and your at no loss
The phones picture quality was amazing though would’ve never said it’s being filmed from your phone
I think he was trying to make a get away from your yard and found himself in a crash lol.
Well after crashing he cudav legged it 🤔
@@alymorning2961 until he got bagged by his pal 🤣you can tell he wishes he got away
well done on getting him to pay.
After watching this its made me realise im never taking a car for a test drive again unless they put there trade plates on ! otherwise your not insured.
I thought the Jaguar’s guy story was clear. The Mercedes guy was supposedly driving in the middle of the road. So the Jaguar guy moved to the right (which was the wrong way) to avoid the Mercedes. But the Mercedes also moved to that same side to try and get back in lane colliding. There is definitely two sides. He needs a lawyer that can translate his story for him.
Bloody lucky you got payment mate.. what a muppet
My guess is foreign guy is telling the truth.. old guy drifted out his lane round the bend as the locals always do in them quiet villages and met matey boy head on, old guy swung back onto his side of the road but the foreign guy seeing old guy so far out darted to the right too thinking older guy would stay out wide and thats where they met... just my opinion as older people in quiet villages like that drive like absolute shit
Well this is the most retarded comment I've seen today.
@@vScoobyDoox care to elaborate?
@@milkman3456 Well for a start what has the age of the other driver got to do with anything, he isn't even that old mate.
The other bloke couldn't speak a word of English and stole a car but you're assuming he must be a good driver because he's under the age of 40.
Do you realise how stupid you sound.
@@vScoobyDoox Absolutely. Apart from anything else, the foreign guy is an uninsured car thief. We have enough thieves here already without importing others who drive on the wrong side of the road, endangering others. I'm amazed at the lack of reaction of the police to all this.
well after his explanation of the accident, I am sure everyone was crystal clear on the exact details .......... don't envy the traffic cop who had to take his statement.
😳 dude that’s a real crap day man some people huh .you handled that like a champ proud of you and that poor guy in the merc ! I know accidents happen but this don’t seem like it should have …but who knows everyone is ok so that’s the main thing .
3:52 savage 💯
Imagine it was a motorbike coming around the corner
Calvin making next level content 😎
Hi Calvin , 1st one of your vids I've ever watched - new subscriber here 👍, sh!tty experience for you that day m8 , but you did ask .. What have I learned ? .
Maybe an remote electronic gate or barrier on your pitch could help? .. I'm amazed that guy forked out for the Jag so fair play to him for that at least.. But the next guy might not.. Just a thought Calvin.
I guess you won’t be giving people the keys to cars now then lol.
The sad thing is the merc driver will have to use his own insurance to make a claim as the guy at fault has no insurance to claim against. The police will charge him for driving with no insurance which will be a tiny fine… and this is the world we live in lol
Dont forget the 6points too but technically he should be done for TWOC because at the time of the accident it was a stolen vehicle too
Some policies allow you to drive other cars third party. He might get away with a fine for no road tax.
@@mnoovurvi even if he had drive other cars on his insurance to allow him to drive other vehicles third party the vehicle would have to have a main policy (trade insurance doesn’t count in that)
@@mortyp473 He can also claim from the dealers public liability insurance, that's if he has any.
Calvin gave the key to the driver so was technically aiding and abetting the accident.
The guy who nicked the jag forgot which country he is in! To be honest Calvin, you have done him a favour getting him to pay for it. The police could have done him for theft and driving without insurance etc if he hadn’t paid!
@@mortyp473
I’m talking about the “theft” aspect. He paid for it therefore it is his!
Calvin acted correctly in own intrest. Otherwise he would have been dragged to courts, would have to go to civil court to get his money for the Jag and repairs from the bloke, if at all.
Well that is one hellish experience for Mercedes man on all counts. Calvin has done well there to get payment from yellow t-shirt man. Being a Johnny Foreigner perhaps his first time driving on the "correct" UK side of the road. Reminded me what fabulous looking cars the earlier XF's are. Let's hope Mercedes man has protected no claims bonus etc. and is well cared for by his insurance company. Thank you.
Calvin, that was crazy…sheer madness!
What a proper wally! I'm suprised the police didn't prosecute him
Unusual sales tactics but a sales a sale Calvin 😂
Great work Calvin. Covered yourself well. 😉
What a shame, two beautiful cars. At least nobody was injured - wonders of modern safety tech.
