    We're here in the dodgiest city in the UK with one mission: to buy a crew car for less than £5000. And here's the catch - we can't leave until we've secured the deal. OK, Birmingham isn’t the worst city. But, if you’re in the UK, everyone will tell you NEVER to buy a car from Birmingham. In fact when you type in on Google ‘never buy’, the third result is ‘a car from Birmingham. But how bad could it really be?

    I used to do pre-purchase vehicle inspections in Birmingham and if a dealer wasn't there at the time booked I would tell buyer to walk away because if the dealer can't be bothered to turn up on time to sell you the car they certainly are not going to bother to turn up at all if you have a problem with it

  • @davidhall6203

    Having lived in Birmingham in the past, the problem and reason why there are so many negative reviews for car purchases in the area, is partially due to the fact that its full of here today gone next week car supermarket type garages (or car supermarket garages that sell you a dodgy car one week and then when you go back, you find they've changed the name and signage slightly and are telling you its now a totally different company even though the staff are the same - I experienced this a few times). Buying private sale in Birmingham probably isn't that much worse than buying elsewhere.

      They change the company name so often because they sell dodgy cars. The customers complain but never get their money back so they take them to court and win. The owners don’t wanna pay the debt so they just dissolve the business and open a new one and the same place to avoid paying. They’re usually selling dodgy cars at higher prices because they’re actually just fronts for money laundering

      I've lived in Birmingham and the West Midlands my entire life. And my current car is from a used dealer in Birmingham called West Heath Motors. They're an old fashioned family firm dating back to the 1960s, honest as the day is long.
      But it's true what you say about the dodgy garages, there's loads of them. You find them all in the three mile radius around the city centre.

And the suspension ('wafty' but zero performance and not reliable). We averaged around 16mpg (UK) across the whole journey, after having given it a tune up.

    2. Change the diff and transfer box fluids asap. I’ve not come across many that have had this done.
    3.flush the gearbox and swap the filter. This will help it live longer.
    4. Be careful with the detachable tow bar. There was a recall that replaced them with fixed units due to detachment failures…..
    5. There are upgrade modules to replace the cd changer in the glovebox with a good wired connector for crappie & android devices.

If you slot that into a flip key with a working remote, it'll unlock the ignition and let you start the car!

    I purchased my first car from Birmingham, it was an ex company/fleet car with full service history and being only 4 years old was very clean. I suppose it depends who you buy your car off in the first place. I've been to see other cars in Birmingham that were listed online only to find out that the sellers were running chop shops and unrecorded accident repair dealerships.
    Which is why Car Vertical or alternative check is so vital before making your purchase, unless its unrecorded. Then it's still just a gamble!

Still, it's fixed now. One common issue is all the electronics for the radio, sat nav and amps are in the boot, right near a common water ingress point, causes a ton of electrical issues when this gets wet and involves tearing the whole lot out and replacing it with a sensible aftermarket headunit.
