Behind the Scenes At G3 Car Auction UK - Cheap Cars Galore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ธ.ค. 2023
- In today's video, we're at G3 Auctions in Yorkshire. Their Castleford site is absolutely amazing, everything is brand new, purpose built and high tech. You'd hope so, seeing as they've invested £12,000,000 into the place!
I was really curious to see how the auction hall runs and what the pricing would be like. I was pleasantly surprised in both regards. The dual lane hall made for fast paced bidding and I didn't get bored like I do at some auction days. Prices were really competitive too, in fact I'm kicking myself for not putting my hand up more! But I'll be back!
PT2 next Thursday! In the meantime, check out the G3 links below!

Just wanted too thank you for the awesome content and helpful advice. Pulled the trigger on an A5 3.0 tdi 14 plate last week after using vehicle score and brushing up on knowledge from your channel . Very happy with the purchase 👍🏼
LOVE your auction view 22mins onwards - same here! 20+ yrs ago at Manheim Colchester - coming home with a sore throat from the fumes and often than not, something dodgy just to get me home when my stuff sold! Oh the days! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 next Thursday! 👌
Great work guys, always look forward to watching the videos
You did the right thing with the Evoque . Manuals are not popular and are often for the lower powered 2wd version. As a 2015 it is unlikely to meet the Euro 6 emissions which it why it may be in the auction. Insurance is up c. £1000 to due to theft issues.
A good watch as usual, I cross fingers for you to get much more subscribers, you deserve it for the effort you make with the videos. You don't take yourself too seriously which is a big plus 👍
Thank you so much, that's very kind! 😁
Best video you have done so far. Enjoyed visiting the auction with you guys !.
Thank you! More to come!
G3 come across as very professional, and I love the innovation witht their 360 inside cams, their exterior cam seems to have a bit of a bug where you cant rotate it though, but i'm sure they'll fix it, the other auctions have a got a new standard to catch up to i think. Great vid Joe as usual - Gistus Motors
Loved the video Super Joe 🦸♂️👏🏻😍 Good to see how G3 works and their Castleford site...Can't wait for part 2 next Thurs!!!...Good work by yourself and your trusty caped crusader Toby and what went on in Castleford stays in Castleford...lol...😂😉🦸♂️🦸♂️👏🏻👏🏻
😂😂
Looks like a nice snazzy place, shoutout to that man who noticed noticed not just you but Toby lol. Looked like a good vibe, I grew up not too far from there, people generally warmer/nicer up north vs London/home counties imo.
99% of people who have said hello to me, have said hello to Toby by name too, which is really nice!
Thanks for the tour
Nice partnership. You're smashing it and deserve everything that comes to you. You're inspiring many.
Thanks! Very kind!
Love the auction! Great job!
Cheers Dave!
Ive been waiting all day for the video!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Another great video Joe. Smart auction house nice to see someone investing
Thanks 👍
G3 looks like a good auction site, another great video from the trade PoV. The VXR you could have sold that to one of your employees. Also can we take a minute to apricate the parking skills of ppl employed in the motor trade. 👍
Superb video Joe, great stuff superb content. One of the white BMW’s that went through near to the end of the video sounded rough I thought, I know it was a diesel but it seemed to have a lot of blue smoke. Best wishes Graham. 😃❤️
Thank you! Yes, timing chain slipped was my guess!
Thats was white smoke, it was missing like f**k
Great content. Next time you go take a trailer so you can buy a couple of cars. Merry Christmas to you and the team
Great video 👍If bought at the right price and has a good margin then buy it simple works for apples diamond's etc😅
Bought maybe around 10 cars over the years from car Auctions and everyone has been half decent certainly no problems. Ive had cars from BCA at Brighouse several Manheim Leeds and Knottingley. Years ago BCA seemed to have better quality cars its time BCA opened all sites upto the public.
Not surprised you took a careful buying approach, market alignment is nowhere near finished 😊
Good content I am following a lot of car dealers on youtube and it's great to know more abt current car prices. Just a thought
Thanks
very good informative video a good incite to buying second hand used vehicles.
Them old 5 series sports still have a following
I really like them!
Hi Joe. Great video bro. A Change is as good as a Rest, as they say, it's good to see whats around. I would have probably went for that VXR, good colour Black but I would have kept it for myself for awhile. Who wouldn't lol. I think it's hard to get a nice one. You were abit Cautious there but rightly so, it's getting harder to Pull the trigger on a good Car. Anyway Joe I loved the video. Chat soon. 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
These videos have become essential viewing. Great content very well presented
Thanks!
Great channel my friend, I’m sure you are going to go from strength to strength, good on you….
I appreciate that!
11.49 and that XE that escaped you slips by in the background like a sitcom
Really interesting content . Still big demand for land rover in Northern Ireland .
Great video.
Great content it’s always freezing in Yorkshire,you have to toughen up when up north 😂
Haha, I definitely would. I think I held my own
It's grim too.
Wow. You're on an auction tire-kicker. You mentioned a great price if you could get it for that, and then watched them sail away for that price or cheaper!
Love a GTC VXR
Great video
Me too!
My Hyundai Kona has more spec than cars double the price, I still find it amazing that a 40k car when new didn't have heated seats, heated steering wheel, sat nav & reversing camera
that place is great packed out
Nice to be a in a packed hall!
I'm here, because I've read through the reviews for copart and have been spooked off enough not to venture in that direction. This coming year I want to get actively involved with the auctions, now is research time.
Looks good for you
Looks a really great place to buy from
Joe, I have been with you from when you had around 1k subs. I love how you do business but you had better be careful or you will give used car dealers a good name. Love the channel. Shame I am all the way up in Scotland as I would not hesitate to buy a car from you.
Thank you so much for being an early follower! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel
I've learned through the years, never tell anybody that you're a plumber.
Haha, very true!
My sister lives in Burnham. She has some cold radiators , any chance you could pop round.@@ShiftingMetal 😀
Great video mate, should have bought that Volvo.
I'm visiting G3 pretty regularly delivering vehicles there, mainly ex lease vehicles, ex motability vehicles etc. Yep I'm a plater lol
They’re a super team at G3, people buy from people and these guys really get that! Great video 🙌🏼
U dodged a bullet on the evoke. U won’t be able to give them away shortly!!!
I don't know about that. highest average profit margin across UK came from Evoques in November!
Plenty of warranty claims coming
@@jpoccasions227 Why is that?
@@TheWhiff12 Because they are unreliable pieces of crap
@@TheWhiff12the 2.0 Inginium engine is garbage. The 2.2 is good 👍
Like a kid on his 1st visit to ToysЯus 🤩
Definitely! 😂
The market is dropping like hell. I’ve had got a one owner, HPI clear 2018 Clio with 51k miles up for 6k and I’ve not even had a sniff!!!!
Not surprising , prices have no where near bottomed out , maybe they'll come back to pre pandemic sensibility. My wifes had Clio's and despite the reputation they're ok.
@@topfuelteddy I ended up trading it in for £5.5. Only had 2 other people make contact after trading wanting to buy. I’ve used a clio as runabout since 2005, and had them in the family since 1996. I’ve driven every shape and while they’re definitely less troublesome nowadays (the older ones did have various electrical gremlins, fly wheel sensors on the Mk2 for example). The newer ones have unfortunately lost the charm they once had. They were light weight and even the base models cornered very well. The mk2 probably being the best. Gradually they got heavier and started using much cheaper shock absorbers, which really affected the handling on country lanes.
@@rupertm2542 same as Laguna's mate , flywheel sensors, throttle bodies , the anti corrosion protection on them was brilliant though , 10 year old cars looked like new underneath.
Struggling to understand why this is a surprise. 3 years of restricted supply. 2 years of surplus cash, low inflation and 15 years of low interest rates. Perfect storm. Now we have supply, high inflation, high rates and no cash. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Unfortunately it's not just the used car market that's screwed for the foreseeable....
Didn’t see how many tailpipes the bmw had but if it’s even a 520d at that age as long as it has the m57 engine is it not a 4-5k car? More if it’s a 525 up, won’t be a lci on an 07 but still a very nice car.
I recon it has a busted head gasket, or at least coolant is getting into the cylinders somehow.
looks a nice place a bit like premier was when it was independent back in the day
I don't know Premier. This G3 site is amazing though, I especially liked the big screen in the lanes that shows what's happening in the hall!
@@ShiftingMetalyou mean premiere in Leeds?
@@barmy_irooni 🤷♂️
Great watch , online bidder on the knackered engine beemer really didn't do their homework.
Gives it the large saying “if you get the evoke for £6k - £6.5k your getting a bargain and then when it comes up he stops bidding when it hits £5300!
That’s hardly giving it ‘the large’ you plum, I hesitated at the time due to LR market but regretted it after. Shit happens
@@ShiftingMetalYou tell him 😂
@@ShiftingMetal eh your the worst car salesman I’ve ever seen! If you’re saying it’s a bargain for £6-£6.5k and then stop bidding when it hits £5.3k then ur the plum! Stop concentrating on TH-cam and more on the £ you PLUMB!
Defo time to buy buy buy
I saw a trader I know from Barnsley in the background
Tire kicker
😂
When you realise you are becoming a bigger TH-cam star than car dealer 🎉 keep it up!
Oh stop it! 😚😂
@carquestionsanswered sent me. interested in seeing the british version of the car market. that place can hold about 10,000 cars? to use a british term, thats mental. seeing the plat zip-tied to the exposed bumper is some top gear level shit
I don't miss spending hours at cold auctions,, what are the buyers rates at G3?
More fun in the summer for sure! They're less than BCA and Manheim. About £50 less on a £1000 car for me
@@ShiftingMetalfor now 😂
What do you think of Hybrids?
Great in theory and no doubt superb when new but my experience in the second market has usually been a pain one way or another!
What are the fees like? Similar to BCA Gold?
They have different tiers but fees would be circa £50 less on a £1000 car for me than from BCA
Like the old days back in 90s .. 2 .. 3 lanes same time
Recognised some of them auctioneers from BCA.
My dream 🔥🔥💯💯
Totally bottled it
Yeah, kinda 😂
Yo you have fans.😊
And the prices are still in free fall! 😂
I'm curious about that bmw what was smoking and rattling..... if you was bidding online, would it have stated the issues in the description? I'd be pissed if it didn't and won that pile of crap!
First Response looks like moneybarn equivalents at BCA
Similar type of finance lender I guess
My car just wrote off looking at 3-3.5k back….are auctions a viable option? Always hear of auctions to send in dogs??
Good option if you’re not risk averse
That's a lot of scrap metal for the Chinese recycling market to send back TAT?
Hmm.. Q3 are a bit too much of a slick operation for me. Aston Barclay in comparison are a bit more down to earth. That's where I'd rather be.
Fair enough, to each their own. I loved it and the atmosphere
Mate! I want to do a live Auction! If they want to do a follow up vid Ill come up and we will have an Auction Challenge, buy at G4 bring back and flip see who does best
You’re on! That’s what the people keep asking for!
@@ShiftingMetal well my application is in, you might need to vouch for me lol!
Welcome. I want to come uk. Can you help me buy a Dodge Challenger from the auction?
I doubt it, not many of those over here! 😂
Whose doing the camera work ? Its all over the place
A wise man not buying the Evocue
Can't believe it went for £5300 seems really cheap.
Nothing is ever cheap in the trade without a reason..👍
@@adrianwalsh896no ive bought plenty well under book an done well out of them. Always remember an xc60 in red an like showroom condition at bca derby, the auctioneer was trying his to get a bid it was 4k under book. Saw it in the trader not long after with well over a 6k margin on it
Don’t buy any evoques. They are the worst “range rovers” ever. Chains always snap at around 60k.
It was paid partnership, right?
No, just flattered to be invited and impressed with the site
Just wondering where are these cars coming from to these auctions? Repos?
A mix of finance companies, main dealers, car buying companies etc
Been taking the piss since covid Inflating price all over not just cars but everything from food to pets and mortgages ,insurances it about time things dropped.
Still think that Volvo was a cheap car especially in that silver colour looked classy, just bought a v40 rdesign auto on Friday 14 plate similar mileage in that horrible toilet blue for 3400 plus fees
Just picked up there & already coolant warning supposedly a problem on the d2 1.6 engines 😫 poss head gasket
Where can I find a 5 series for 1,400 😆
G3 Auctions! 😂
She's knocking like a jahova
😅
Rainy cas
Why these sheds have so high roofs? Any 737 on sale ?waste of space 🙃
There’s probably a calculation suggesting a certain height of roof for adequate airflow given the number of cars being driven in and out. Maybe they’re future proofing it so they can put in another level or two if they wanted to adapt the building. I like the height!🤷🏽♂️
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The evoque was at £6500 and you stopped bidding at £5200
Yeah I bottled it 😅
@@ShiftingMetal
We have a 12 plate evoque and bar the mpg we love it. I am tempted to get it advertised and move it on though
Can anyone go to the action?
Do mix the electric cars with the proper cars If the do I would think that's a risk
With you v.a.t of 20% 74000 for a van wow 🙈
Bargains everywhere
Bargains at the auction not seeing it being transfered to the forecourts
@@johnyendall9377£5300 at auction £20k on the forecourt
@@johnyendall9377 thats because we have money to re-acrue from being rinsed for the past 3 years lol catch up time
@@johnyendall9377and strong chance you never will tbh. Plenty of time yet for the market to correct
Those 5 BMw are a all trouble - total shjt
12 million pound auction all and what skill set do they offer to acheive that none selling second hand cars all a big con the motor trade always has been for years all the same people creep about these places
It involved a heck of a lot of managing people, negotiating with partners and clients, setting up and maintaining a massive online platform…the list goes on. You have absolutely no idea.
I,m not talking about you i,m talking about the people that hang about these auctions your videos are great i,m talking about the people you meet
G3 are bringing no value to joe public all in house@@LCOF
Too right, same faces, now illegals joining in because gov loans and free driving lessons.
Hey a friend of mine is selling a cheap audi Q5 automatic white sline has a bit of unrecorded front end damage 3.5k? I did email you
Which email address?
Why don't you show the cars ??
Show them how? There’s hundreds of cars in the video 😅
Why do you film the bloke talking instead of the car he’s talking about?
I still wouldnt touch any dirty diesel
Going to cost you a bit for delivery bud, your 220 miles away, don't know about fees as well, I think Aston barclay are the cheapest, with fees and delivery you'll be adding a grand on.
SO YOUR BOUGHT AND PAYED FOR THEN . 🤣🤣
I wouldn't buy one. jlr have a great anti theft system with reliability. It'll break down 30 seconds after getting knicked 😊
Why did not you buy it some cheap cars were there. jk
What did I just watch
A video on nothing
Are you blind and deaf?
