Nice watching your journey, and how you are learning along the way. I like that you are going for the more premium cars and not cheap runabouts. Most of all your content is good.
Great job on the calipers, min effort max effect. Personally on auto trader I start high and slowly chip away depending on the response. These kind of cars take time to sell as there is so much options for a £6k budget and people do prefer newer cars. You will need patience for a buyer who is looking for that particular car with that high level of spec Good luck
I’m not a car guy so watching these is very educational. Just knowing how you approach problems with issues and find solutions could prevent me always going to the mechanic. Keep these up, you found yourself a subscriber!
You had that car looking immaculate fella, for an 08 plate. I felt your pain breaking down on M25. Not had similar but have driven M25 often and to me, it's the worse driving experience ever. Nice wee touch sharing your memories. Hope you get full asking price. 👍
Great video. Polishing the headlights as you do will not last. It is a much better process to last for long. Also, the calipers it is better to cover the rust restorer before painting them because it lasts longer.
The headlights will last like that when ceramic coated too - on our work car (315k miles a6 allroad 3.0) did them in 2019 and they are still crystal clear
I own a toyota with a full auto electric window..usually other 3 windows can't be controlled with driver side switch if the car battery has been removed(to be replaced ect.)...you can tell by the blinking light on the window switch of the other 3 doors..also you can tell by the control switch on driver door that is not turning on for the other 3 windows...if the light on the switch are blinking..it would not operate in full auto...you can reset it by rolling down the window a little bit..no need for a full roll down😅...and roll it back up and hold the switch up for 3 -5 sec...

question, do you have trader insurance? because when I bought the car I still needed additional insurance, driving the car home adds to the additional costs, maybe you have any tips ? Thanks
Just started watching your videos yesterday, and I love it. Can you see the car in person before you bid on it at Blackbushe BCA? Or can you go and bid over there in person? Thanks
When I'm looking to buy a car, as soon as I see red callipers I immediately turn away. Because then I think to myself "what other modifications has the owner done that I do not know about?". I reckon factory silver or black is a better option? Great video.
BCA lads have to go through service book read it then put it into pda so a lot of them say they can’t find it or just do one sheet etc. Means you get a good surprise when buying! They aren’t very well paid so can’t blame them.
Great job. Sell it at 5995 sounds less than 6000 (psychological trick). Also I advice to paint the calibers next time in a darker red, much more classy than this 'meat' red. Succes!
The real winner is autotrader £96 for an ad that expires in a couple of weeks, what a scam. Great video mate best channel I’ve found for at home car flips even though there’s only a couple up so far, like how you do everything in one video can’t stand channels that post it in 5/6 videos, even 2, I lose interest. Well deserved profit, keep it up.
Yeah mate and now I have a monthly package that cost thousand as you increase adverts. They get away with it and no one questions it. Thank you so much for the comment, I have more videos to come out soon so keep an eye out and welcome aboard 🙏🏼
@ exactly mate!! We should set up some competition for them. You’re welcome bro keep them up this channel will blow in no time - editing is fire, vids have great structure with a mix of voiceover and you talking to camera and you get the job done well with high prep standard. Exactly how flipping cars should be, I’ll keep an eye out notifications are on😎
Obvious you have never driven a Toyota hybrid it’s not a rev counter they don’t have rev counters, what they have is a kw meter which tells you how much power your engine is making.
Loving these new vlog-style documentary videos. Keep it up!
Glad you like them!

I learned a lot from watching your last 2 videos, thanks man, subbed!
Just subbed, keep this style of videos up bro, enjoyed it very much seeing the whole process and final numbers
I’m glad you enjoyed. There will more videos coming out.
Your editing is on point whst do u use and how have u you learnt it so well
email me I will help you with your vidoes.

Should do calipers in gray. You want to apeal to most buyers when you flip.
Good point. I will keep that in mind for future flips.

Thank you 🙏🏼 the M25 is a nightmare
Started watching your vids yesterday: Merc and Lexus flips. VERY good viewing. I like the format and how u do the vids. Hope to see loads more 👍🚙
Welcome aboard! There is more to come
Great video loving them keep them coming👍
Your videos are so informative. Really enjoying them so far!
Great video! Love the painted callipers!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Was thinking head gasket when you first said about misfiring bet you was relieved when it was just wire to coil nice Video 👍
Oh yes I was well happy with that.
Have you got a video showing how to detail a car simply ? And how to find right colours for scratch repairs etc ?
I don’t but that will be in the future.
@ShaksAutos thanks! Looking forward to it !
Great video, hope you used a high temperature paint for the calipers, they sell specific paints that can withstand high temps!
I always use High Temp paint for calipers.

Love the content bro. Recently found your channel and subscribed because I enjoy your content. Would love a Q&A video about monthly earning and cost.
That will be a future video 🤙🏼
It's great to see your efforts
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi I am your new subscriber . Love the lexus video watching from Qatar 🇧🇭 more love from Kenyan 🇰🇪
Welcome 🤗
Can’t wait for the scirocco vid
Think I drove past you bro on the M25 lol. Defo remember it as I’ve never seen Lexus on the side of motorway ever
You probably have mate as I was there for a while rethinking my life decisions 🤣
Brilliant flips so far. About to start flipping myself and videos like these give the confidence needed
Good luck 🤞

I do have trade insurance. Investing in one would be a must to get into this job

Unfortunately everything is online now. Before Covid you could’ve done that.
I have certainly subscribed...I only reward good content!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great posts.. How was the hybrid system on this lexus BTW?
It was great! Working just like it was new.
Great video
Subscribed bro!
Legend!
I found your ad in the auto trader 😂
Are you gonna put a cheeky offer in 😉
Hi, what kind of paint did you use for calipers? Was it special paint for metal?
High tempt paint. Link in my description
Hi i love your content, may i ask do you put these vehicles in your name or business, if so does it add a +1 owner on the logbook
It will go onto my business name without adding owners.
@ShaaakAR how do you insure these vehicle? And you don't need to tax these vehicles because of ?. Thanks for the replies
I have trade insurance so I don’t need to tax it

I understand it may not be for everyone but yeah sometimes you just need to try things out. In this case the new owner loved it.
we had a 400h. It was ok but sounded like an alien.
lol I know what you mean by that. All hybrids sound like that when they run on battery.
Bro buy a mic. Dji mic 2 or Rode wireless ii. great channel btw
I have but unfortunately some parts of the videos were recorded at different days before the mic 🎤
on your autotrader ad says full service history? but only 1 service on BCA?
If you had watched the whole video, I mentioned that I found the service book in the glove box.
BCA lads have to go through service book read it then put it into pda so a lot of them say they can’t find it or just do one sheet etc. Means you get a good surprise when buying! They aren’t very well paid so can’t blame them.
You live near me! Not going to say where you live here but if I go past and you are outside will say hi!
If you see me stop by 💪🏼
Did you take into account the cost of the breakdown recovery? Good to have a friend with a breakdown truck.
Yes that cost was taken into account
Great job. Sell it at 5995 sounds less than 6000 (psychological trick). Also I advice to paint the calibers next time in a darker red, much more classy than this 'meat' red. Succes!
Thanks for the tips!
👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's great, I'm from PAKISTAN

how do you pay vat/tax on cars as a trader , can you do a video about this please
You need an accountant for that. I will in the future.
What would you do if you bought a cheapish car that had a major issue that wasn’t worth repairing or replacing?
Sell it as spares or repairs and take my loss on the chin!
Good channel, looking to get into trading, this stuff is helpful. Anyway I can reach out to you if I need any help?

Thank u for ur video brother but one more thing are u Kurdish
I’m indeed 👍🏼
Obvious you have never driven a Toyota hybrid it’s not a rev counter they don’t have rev counters, what they have is a kw meter which tells you how much power your engine is making.
And you can’t also rev it in neutral
Good to know 👍🏼
The miss fire is why the engine light was flashing
