@Blaze Temp yes but that won't stop scammers from calling. And they are literally on it 2 minutes after the ad is live. So you will want to pick up in case you have a potential customer on the line. I get what you are saying but the scammers stop calling 1-2 days from when the ad goes live so in the long run they don't keep your number saved and one you sold whatever it is your number disappears from the website anyway. Its just that Gumtree for some reason doesn't have any protection against scammers like autotrader has.
These low budget car videos are absolutely astonishing and remind me a lot of the old top gear in some way, not unlike some of your latest uploads. With the grand tour only going road trip I see a lot of potential in revisiting some of the most iconic cheap car challenges we all ( or at least I do) miss from the golden days TG. Keep it up guys, always amazing. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹
Love this idea and something that I want to give a go at! It's kinda sad the amount of time and effort that has to go into just making a few bucks back.
Honestly, especially with the eviction crisis, flipping a cheap car might be the way some people spend their free time as a recently-unemployable to make _some_ money, as opposed to _none._ Plus that with a bit more time, it could lead to someone living in a minivan, as opposed to someone living on the streets. #vanlife #carlife #tinyhouse #tentlife are relevant terms, for those interested.
You need to make more videos like this. 'Miles' was an amazing series and cheap cars like this are amazing as well. After all, I mainly enjoy videos if I would find it potentially useful in the future.
Next - buy a van, move some furniture and sell it in like 3 days or so. Point is - make it cheaper than renting it for the job (3 hours or whatever time you need).
I bought a fiat seicento for 185 pounds. I put 50 in it for a new exhaust. Been driving without problems for 2 years now. It doesn't have any damages on it, looks fine inside is also as new. For me it was a very good purchase
I think I win at this one. Bought a 2000 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol for £250. The owner said it hasn't run quite right in a while and it was time for it to move on. I bought it, and sure enough it didn't run right. Wasn't worth taking to a mechanic, so I learned myself, diagnosed it as the MAF sensor, £30 for a new one. Fitted that, drove the car for a year with no issues and sold it for £800, £520 profit. That small moment of diagnosing and repairing that car lead me to become a mechanic, and I'm now just a couple months away from being a fully qualified tech :)

I think this takes the cake for the best video(s) you guys did. Would love to see more money challenge and flip. Maybe like a holiday challenge like top gear did?
2016, Ford Fiesta 2004 1.3 advertised for 600. Bought it for 350 pounds. 2 Years, 30k miles with 1 oil exchange in that time - car was vandalised, hit 3 times by other cars and bus, the engine mount broke off and engine was hitting the ground while driving. Advertised for 200. Sold for 100 1 hour later. 3 weeks later. That guy who bought this car replaced front wing, drivers mirror and sold it for 900. LOL.
You ll be surprised. One day my friend received from his dad living abroad a good amount of cash to buy him a car here in the UK and send it abroad. My friend had only £50 notes. Not long before that he needed a tiny bit of carpet to finish the boot of a recently bought Nissan Skyline R33. So went to one of these big shops selling carpets and the seller refused his first £50 saying its not really convinced is real, then my friend offered him another £50 and he accepted it:)) There were all genuine taken from the bank. We still laugh till this day.
You should actually spend the money on another car and flip your way up to a really good car!
