Been following you for sometime now only just got round to joining the planet of a dreams as a dream catcher saves my time on doing the prizes 1 by 1 great idea also love the videos looking at getting a 2018 Golf R DSG .
Great to see such an honest dealer putting right all the wrongs before selling it on even if it means you're taking a hit. Too many Arthur Daley's out there buying and selling that think all they need to do is wash a car before selling it on for a ridiculous profit. In depth , informative vlogs like yours deserve the following.....and you make us laugh , bonus 😁
Love how honest you are with these videos…. Price ect and the reality of buying stock and loosing money and how things can go wrong. Best content out there! 😊
Hey Calv, that RS4 at the start is mine! Just had it carbon cleaned at VRS a couple of weeks ago and what a difference it makes! Wondered if you fancying having it for the day to review the B7?
Hopefully you make a few bob from these brilliant videos, which offsets the loss, and it is a much better car than it was. I really enjoyed both these videos 😀
Great video. I bought an S3 (2011) with 90k a year back and ive had a bit of a similar experience. Nice looking example, just happens to have needed some bits doing 🤷♂️ to be expected with slightly older slightly higher miles cars
knowing the true history of a car is priceless, hpi checks don't tell you much tbh also, stuff buying a car at 90k miles, let alone an RS6, may as well burn money
Great video Calvin. It's good to see it from the traders side as a lot of folk really don't understand the trade and think everyone is trying to rip them off. A lot of folk are getting rid of cars for newer ones as they know they have underlying issues and trading it in is an easy way out of it.
Unlucky with the problems Calv, but great content, really enjoyed. ESPECIALLY... Lotus Cortina in the background 😍😍 haven't seen one for years, maybe if I beg, he might take me for a spin 🙏
Hey Calvin, just bought a Mercedes E Class Wagon that developed a problem on my way home. It has a full AA warranty, let’s see what happens. I really really like this car 😢 BIT 👍🏻
He may have known about the mount and thought it was the gearbox but only he will know. It does seem like the mentality is though that used car dealers are there to be ripped off by customers. Would the sq7 have been bought knowing the samenissues or would it be straight back asking for them to be fixed even though his trade in wasn't up to the same standard. Doesn't seem fair really.
2nd hand car prices just now are just silly stupid, seen lots of high mileage cars ''over 100k'' but people are standing in a queue waving their money to buy them, it's steadily shifting towards the same as the housing market.
Most of the time u get decent value for 100k mile cars as u can get high spec cars with that mileage at a decent discount as opposed to buy a low mileage newer base model car at the same price.
Is this because money is especially tight for a lot of people currently. So rather than drop 30k on an electric car or similar cost new gas or diesel they save a bunch on used. Higher demand then equals higher prices.
Unless I’m missing something wouldn’t a pre-purchase inspection would of picked this up? Unless this car was purposely bough with a fault for TH-cam content I would of thought Calvin would get a pre-purchase on all the cars he buys.
Problem is a lot of people sell Thier cars only when they get problems and hide it if they can when they sell it thinking they are smart giving someone else the headache they dont care if they are dishhonest
We have had a Porsche Cayenne for 2 years 3.0 diesel and we have had it remap with 299 bhp and 631nm torque and it is a brilliant car with loads of pulling power and a great daily driver I highly recommend.
Mrs Will on the phone 3 times "Will make sure you charge Calvinator the right price 💷💷!" Mind you good job he helped you out as it's a classic money pit
Even if you lose your entire life's earnings on that, it will not matter to anybody.. German cars are priceless and to be able to have one is to have it all or have nothing..
Nice to see how Will treats you as a customer and helps you out, my customer experience with Will directly was very different 🤨 a few years back. My car went in for an APR map change, I see on the dyno cctv them playing with my black Vue dash cam I asked what they was doing and they said not allowed to film in the workshop 😂 Will was also very rude and unorganised, never would go back after that.
@Ian Brender 🤣 this comment made me chuckle. Yeah, because being a paying customer and asking why your employee is trying pull my camera off of my screen is rude? Get your head out your arse 😉
What a silly Tube.. so what if you lose money, in fact it’s obvious you’ll lose money when you’ve ‘ owned ‘ a car, then sale it. Anything for a click eh….
@imran Ahmed its the 8 speed zf, nothing wrong with them apart from idiotic owners who mis-use them and don't service them. The zf 8 speed are bomb proof
@big matt didn't know the RS models had the ZF box. But i agree with you they are bulletproof with gerneral maintenance. I had a S7 which I believe is the 7-speed DSG / S-tronic gearbox, which suffers from problems like mechatronic failure. I've owned bmws only but fancied a change, but I just went back to bmw after the headache I got from that. And I mean if you buy a fast car you should be able to use it like a fast car regardless of being a idiot or not 😅😂

What a honest guy calv is. Not many car dealers would disclose their financial gambles on vehicles. Good content man
That guy is a treasure. We are rapidly running out of knowledgeable, real life experienced tech/engineers. Use em or lose em. Every credit
The key and credit to Calvin is honesty …. I’ve been looking at this car and was waiting for a video haha
Great vid. I now know where to go for work on my RS4! VRS and Will seemed great, super honest and thorough.
Subbed!
Will to the rescue 👍. The advantages of finding a awesome garage and trusting them not to rip u off.
That’s all I were thinking about they obviously have to run a business, but it’s definitely nice to have that relationship 👌
Love how honest you are with these videos…. Price ect and the reality of buying stock and loosing money and how things can go wrong. Best content out there! 😊
Rear tail lights have been fitted with face lift versions, also the wheels. I love the prefacelift led headlights 👌👌👌
Hey Calv, that RS4 at the start is mine! Just had it carbon cleaned at VRS a couple of weeks ago and what a difference it makes!
Wondered if you fancying having it for the day to review the B7?
I’ve just bought one myself and filmed a video on it mate so I should have the video up in the next couple of weeks.
Great choice of car 👌
@@CalvinsCarDiary Congratulations mate! Did you go for the saloon or estate ;)?
Are you looking to sell it mate
we have had a Porsche cayenne 4.2 v8 diesel since 2014, runs really well been remapped to 420bhp.
Hopefully you make a few bob from these brilliant videos, which offsets the loss, and it is a much better car than it was. I really enjoyed both these videos 😀
Great video. I bought an S3 (2011) with 90k a year back and ive had a bit of a similar experience. Nice looking example, just happens to have needed some bits doing 🤷♂️ to be expected with slightly older slightly higher miles cars
Should have got a evo insured far superior car .
id just put it up for a small profit so what it cost what it cost you plus the fix someone might really like the spec etc.
knowing the true history of a car is priceless, hpi checks don't tell you much tbh
also, stuff buying a car at 90k miles, let alone an RS6, may as well burn money
Love the honest outlook on the cars, would love more of these vids mate
Hey calv whats happening to that blue F10 M5 you bought?
That list of jobs done at a dealership would have cost a fortune, they don't drill stuff out just replace.
You are honest and a credit although the previous owner was less than forthcoming with all these issues.
Great video Calvin. It's good to see it from the traders side as a lot of folk really don't understand the trade and think everyone is trying to rip them off. A lot of folk are getting rid of cars for newer ones as they know they have underlying issues and trading it in is an easy way out of it.
Mk1 Lotus cortina looks good !
Feel for you and the new buyer but what a beast. Hopefully those issues can be resolved easy... Again, that car is a beast
Unlucky with the problems Calv, but great content, really enjoyed. ESPECIALLY... Lotus Cortina in the background 😍😍 haven't seen one for years, maybe if I beg, he might take me for a spin 🙏
Would honestly love to have will look after my cars , could listen to him talk about cars all day , geezer knows his stuff.
Engine mounts failures are known issue on Audi c7 platforms

💯
good to see the real costs behind a car that is traded in
Good honest video. well done.
Do love a feature with will. Knows what he’s talking about
Love this one Calvin VRS are the best have to love Will he is such a stand up guy 👍👍
I hope the seller is watching this and is embarrassed for selling you it with all those problems!
Maybe the seller wasn’t aware. Or maybe he notified Calvin of the majority. Maybe the car had a miltek fitted before part ex 😜
@@nicksmith2591 or maybe he knew what he was getting rid of and getting a good deal for a lemon
🤷♂️ still a nice car
@@nicksmith2591 totally agree 👍
He's a Trader, it's his own fault.
Honestly I have never used vrs because I stay in Scotland but if I was closer I would use them .what a team 👏

@@bouncycastles1214 Yeh agree, the new electric world isn't for me, Id rather walk.
The new electric world is riddled with flaws
What goes around !! Evil gts words lol hey onwards and all that jazz !! Merry Christmas cheers for another good year of content 💯🔥🔥
Quality garage that! I know where I’d go with an Audi/VW now 👍
As good as a 4.25 GT-R though Calv? 🤔
You keep it real Calvin Love your attitude to life
Also I chose VRS just because I see they do proper work.. can’t wait to get my A3 8p to stage 1 ❤.. VRS SEE YOU SOON
Out of context question but what watch you got 😅? Looks great!
Unless I’m missing something wouldn’t a pre-purchase inspection would of picked this up? Unless this car was purposely bough with a fault for TH-cam content I would of thought Calvin would get a pre-purchase on all the cars he buys.
And that’s why I’d 💯 buy a car from you👌🏻 honest and helpful company 👍🏻
£6 v power....where'd that take you? out the petrol station? LOL
Can u do a video on the r8 spyder
Both rs6’s that been on the channel just seem like there money pits,
182 for vpower😮😮😮 it’s 207 in London WTFFFF
my neighbour owns a porsche cayenne 4.2 v8 diesel some noise from it
Cheers Calvin. Nice to see such an honest car dealer. Shame the bad ones give the good ones a bad reputation.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Will is the man definitely a top garage
Why don’t you raffle the Car? Wouldn’t lose money then
If you buy an Audi RS expect it to have expensive issues. I'd rather have that old Cortina.
You are a great car dealer shame more aren’t like you Calve interesting video tho 👍
What is it with Audi and the wank rear wiper???
Any updates on the m3 touring
Had a porsche Cayenne, worst purchase ever. 6 months later i changed it for a RR Sport and never regretted it
Problem is a lot of people sell Thier cars only when they get problems and hide it if they can when they sell it thinking they are smart giving someone else the headache they dont care if they are dishhonest
maxton design splitter was cracked.... comes as standard with their crap plastic.
Proper nice car Calv 👍🏼👍🏼
We have had a Porsche Cayenne for 2 years 3.0 diesel and we have had it remap with 299 bhp and 631nm torque and it is a brilliant car with loads of pulling power and a great daily driver I highly recommend.
Endless Money Pit
Absolutely love 💯 the Rs6 ,Sounds unbelievable 🤌🤌
Get that 2010 a3 s.line thats on the ramps black and put it on planet of dreams a need it 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍🎅🎄
Everything aside the car is beautiful it doesn't look like a 13 plate at all!
Maybe not the exhaust but that guy definitely knew about all the stuff wrong with the car 🤦♂️
Mk1 cortina nice
Love how straight up and honest calv is, this mostly why i watch
Will is the man 👍🚘🇬🇧
I don’t know y u don’t keep the car for yourself and then u won’t lose any money on it nice car ❤
I wish I had a Will here is Brisbane 🤞
Mrs Will on the phone 3 times "Will make sure you charge Calvinator the right price 💷💷!"
Mind you good job he helped you out as it's a classic money pit
Big up wizard will 🙌
Even if you lose your entire life's earnings on that, it will not matter to anybody.. German cars are priceless and to be able to have one is to have it all or have nothing..
The Audi RSMoneyPit lol 😂
That’s Audis for you not as great as you think and parts are astronomical in price to replace.
seller knew it was a lemon. 💯
A garage that doesn't rip you off quality
Mickey mouse badge on the TT 😂😂😂
4 grand plus bill. Ouch
Oh dear never nice when someone toe drops a car on you. Proper car now hope the new owner enjoys 😊
Will is a top fella
I could listen, to will all day,
You must of made money on the one you sold that he traded in against though I guess
Audi = endless money pit…
If you buy the wrong one..
PALMFACE WILL 😂😂
Sell ot to the EvilGT boys, they wont know 😂
How the game goes
Typical German cars, ridiculous repair bills
top man like how you do your job 10out10 xx
Nice cat now Calvin
What dog is that a bully
No stress, you’ve made more on content
Nice to see how Will treats you as a customer and helps you out, my customer experience with Will directly was very different 🤨 a few years back.

Seems fine with Calvin so possibly treats people how they treat him.
@Ian Brender 🤣 this comment made me chuckle.
Yeah, because being a paying customer and asking why your employee is trying pull my camera off of my screen is rude?
Get your head out your arse 😉
Third 😂 not having loads of firsts again!
Ouch!
Calvin & Will are like Mike & Ed just a whole lot less hassle from Calvin lol 😂
Lol want to jump out. Proper beast of an engine
Well atleast its had a good look over peanuts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 nice car tho 😃
What a silly Tube.. so what if you lose money, in fact it’s obvious you’ll lose money when you’ve ‘ owned ‘ a car, then sale it. Anything for a click eh….
What part of a 'used car dealer wants to make a profit' don't you get?
the auto on these are problematic i had nothing but headache.
Is it an 8 speed auto? ZF8 or an 8 speed DCT?
@imran Ahmed its the 8 speed zf, nothing wrong with them apart from idiotic owners who mis-use them and don't service them.
The zf 8 speed are bomb proof
@big matt didn't know the RS models had the ZF box. But i agree with you they are bulletproof with gerneral maintenance. I had a S7 which I believe is the 7-speed DSG / S-tronic gearbox, which suffers from problems like mechatronic failure. I've owned bmws only but fancied a change, but I just went back to bmw after the headache I got from that. And I mean if you buy a fast car you should be able to use it like a fast car regardless of being a idiot or not 😅😂
RS6 to SQ7... predictable PX
