I’ve watched your channel since day one and I’m so pleased for you. You are now reaping the benefits of being an honest straight guy because subscribers trust you to trade their cars to you. Best way to get cars for you. Might have a Honda jazz auto, 2011 70k miles for you if you are interested. Will message you direct as and when.
I owned that version X5 of the preceding model. Had it four years with all scheduled servicing done and was a really good motor. Only PX’d it in the end because fancied a change.
Hello from Ireland again, James. That's a very Nice Machine, mate. Joe will be on the phone when he sees this X5. He loves a BMW, And can't help himself lol. Ah, Joe is a great lad. That Podcast I watched last night with you all, was brilliant and so funny 👌👏👏👏. Anyway the best of luck with this one, I reckon, it will be no problem selling at all. Or phone Joe. Thanks again, James. Nice buy 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice bit of business done there James with the X5. Once that’s been detailed it’ll look amazing, nice to see a different colour than the usual black, white or silver.
Great video bud, if you could have afforded to keep it, it would have been great to see it done, but if it hangs about it'll drop a grand a mth in the book, might not stabilise until January, another point is with how customers are if it got rejected retail, maybe on finance mths down the line you could be 1000s out, so probably best, personally I'd have sorted it, tried it for a while and maybe sent it to a good auction, but anyway a wage is a wage bud,proud of you.
I dont mind that colour. Makes a change. Someone decided to get something different. Fair play. Nice gift that torch. Nannoo nannoo! Wonder if anyone will get that stupidity!? Cheers
Chops , on first impression that is absolutely filthy.. As a BMW owner not keen on that colour. Looks like Individual Ruby Red but very flat. It's a X5 with an M Sport pack. As it's a YE plate there is a good chance it was originally registered by BMW and was owned or used by them. Good B58 3.0d engine in that motor.
I was once told BMW have a large holding area in Yorkshire somewhere for newly registered and demo cars, which would explain the YE suffix... my own car is a YE...
I really struggle with this one. Help me out. I know that people have different tastes in cars. But when someone is going out looking to buy a new car, what leads them to a Vauxhall dealer to buy a Mokka? I cannot fathom.
the the recalls for the EGR valves on the BMW diesels are a regular thing. l owned a 530D for four years and had three EGR valve recalls one check and the EGR valve was replaced twice. BMW say that if the EGR valve is not replaced it can result in a thermal incident, also known as your car catches fire and burns to the ground 🤣🤣
Glad to see you quickly passed on that BMW X5 James . Can't see the point of having an ultra fast SUV and crossing the fingers when you go around a bend .
Hello James, the "motor trade" has always been a risky business, and I do admire you for taking on this car, though your sensible head has already sourced someone to pass it on, and make a profit = it's business done well. Best wishes from Lincolnshire
That will look lush with full valet and mop ! ( ignore the negative comments about the Color ) ! Can’t lose if you bought at the right price ! Guaranteed profit when underwritten!
Sorry but if you got the money to buy an x5 at least have the money to maintain it properly lol not going to little local garages 😂. Sounds more like he got a Kia because he couldn’t afford the upkeep of his x5 Absolutely love the look of this tho. Love when the originals owners go a bit bold and don’t just buy black white or grey. They look so good in some colour
I think it shows he was smart! The oils the same. Filters the same. Why pay 4 times as much. It's probably why he has the cash to buy it outright in first place
@@ChopsGarage I think if you buy premium maintain it to a premium quality. Not having a full BMW history on an 4 year old 40k car could just screams red flags for some buyers Also that recall has been around for a good while now my 71 plate works x5 had it when I had the car 2022. So that’s been outstanding a good while if it had been serviced by bmw they would have done the recall not left the egr system clogging up and causing issues down the line
Glad that your going to hang on to cars for retail bud, you'll sell everything I'm sure, I do individual autotrader ads, roughly 30 quid bud, link a video to it as well.
I was cracking up at the whole video. So good!

Know your limits - sensible man and b3 happy with a small crust and no risk. Well done
Needs a machine polish...needs a hosepipe first
Mark and Mandy are legends! I've had donuts and a book from them ❤
Oh reallyyyyyy..So they are out there just gifting anyone 😂

Thanks buddy
That 5 year old Mokka is like new! Amazing subscriber.
I know
@1:09 Great news, James, a highend vehicle that commands a premium often results in higher quality customers, AFAIK. 👍
Higher repair bills while prepping
Cheers

Mokka looks a genuine, well looked after car and a credit to the subscriber.
Isn't it

Looking forward to seeing it when Cubitt cars give it a bit of a clean up 👍
You and me both!

I have recently had the EGR cooler (including the valve) replaced on my 2015 320D FOC by BMW. There's a 15 year warranty on the cooler!
BMW colour is … interesting. 🤨 Good you had Rob lined up. Better hide the Mokka in case your other Mokka customer sees it.
Lol
Another good video James 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍

Yes not clean for sure
B58 is the petrol 40i

Great deal on the BMW, well worth the risk.
It sure is!
I really struggle with this one. Help me out. I know that people have different tastes in cars. But when someone is going out looking to buy a new car, what leads them to a Vauxhall dealer to buy a Mokka? I cannot fathom.
They like Astra , maybe always had them and want something just a little bit higher from ground

Cheers mate
Another good video.
Cheers
I’ve driven a hire car x5 , brilliant drive. Loved it
Nice drive for sure
Oooh funds in the bank account that'll do nicely 😂
Yep lok
That will look lush with full valet and mop ! ( ignore the negative comments about the Color ) !
Can’t lose if you bought at the right price ! Guaranteed profit when underwritten!
Yep will look mint
Get it retailed. You make the money instead of someone else
39k retail?
x5's are notorious for issues long term, I absolutely love one but would never have it unless it was new and leased xD
Wouldn’t Joe buy that from u ?yes robs the best for this car
Too new and high priced
A nice earner mate well done 😅
Thanks 😁
Hope you remembered to close the passenger window 🙂
Thats a nice colour chops. I love those new x5. I think 5 series and x5 are best looking bmw's at min
Yes they are!
The colour will look fantastic when it has been machine polished with a good wax or ceramic coating.
Agreed
Would Berrow motors not been up for it
Bit too high price
Traded it for a Kia due to cost! BMW service's are quite reasonable, even then, you could take it to a specialist. The original owner is mad!
I think his issue was the attempts at upsell and charges for subscriptions
i would pay 7999 max
For what?
Nasty scrape on that lower front corner 😢
Not really easy smart repair
Ouch 😮
Sure you should be offering that Beemer to Mr Betty first James!
He was
@@ChopsGarage Maybe a bit too high end for Joe??
That’s Joes neck of the woods I’d say.
@@stuartkennedy4202 might just be a bit too rich even for Joe at the moment.
Out of interest, why didn't the main dealer not sell the car themselves?
Not BMW dealership it was the Kia one
Usually the miles are too high for their normal stock. They get quite fussy with that
I didn't think garages gave out details about vehicles they had worked on unless you provided proof of ownership
No quite happy to do so unless we are talking main dealers, they can be anal about it
I love the look of the Mokka but I've heard some horror stories about mechanical issues with them?
Wally had big issues touch wood
Avoid 1.4 turbo or high mileage 1.6 diesels
Bet Joe at Berrow Motors is gutted 🤔😂
No he was offered it
For £50 odd quid, why wouldn't the BMW owner get a MOT to increase it's retail value? Or does that matter when selling to the motor trade?
Does not matter we will MOT ourselves as a rule
oh come on James stay with the programme - Mark and Mandy? Close enough to warrant a Nanoo-nanoo rather than a simple thanks lol
Oh dear lol
not keen on the colour maybe its my settings i thought it was brown
It will be mint when it's polished
@@MickG-n9r oh yeah should be nice then
You could have Retailed it and Gamble on a Warranty Wise Warranty 🎲🎲🎲🎲
Hoping they don't try and mince out of paying a claim 😂
Risky
❤❤👍👍😊😊

It is just too far removed from the other stuff but in saying that people can get there finance before they come to you
True
What a horrible colour
That's why they come in different colours , different tastes
In your opinion.
It's 2025 . Welcome to Chops garage , Ferrari and prestige car dealership ???
😂😂
