      When a car is being moved around at a dealer or auction site, never gets warm and has a number of cold starts, the on board computer calculates that is how the rest of the tank will be consumed, for the same reason when your bimberling along at say 50 and have not had to stop or slow down with a lot of gear changes, it will assume the remainder of the tank will last probably an unrealistic distance. A bit of a ramble but I hope that makes sense.

    Hi Alex, cheap BMW. If I were you I would strip the front end down to see behind. As for the drivers and rear doors it may be cheaper to find 2 second hand doors. White is a fairly common colour. Also never buy a customer car from Copart. Stick to the ones with an X at the end of the number which means it came from an insurance company.

  • @DavidCook-rn9gd
    @DavidCook-rn9gd 17 дней назад

    Hi Alex, very good looking car which i think is a bargain . Firstly i would give it a wash and mop to see if i could get some of the scratches polished out and see what it is like from there obviously the front bumper would need a respray. Get the alloys refurbished The interior would come up well with a wet vac but i think you will have to get a new rear compartment board as there is no way you will get that paint off, is there paint on the rear seats as well could not tell because of the sunlight? But would not cost much to get the rear seat re trimmed. Wait to hear what the drive issues are if any. There is an X2 Sport Cat s 19 plate on Auto Trader going for 14.5k so 4.5k is a very good buy. All the best.

      They are not worth much though i have a 2013 with 86k on the clock best i have been offered is £1800 from car wow auction dealer , paid £3grand for it 6 months ago had to spend a grand fixing the faults and now the damn handbrake cable has broken so just want rid of it , my advice if you want a cheap car to get from A to B get an old Japanese car Nissan micra , Toyota corrola or Yaris etc much better

      @@christineayres7199 That's from car wow. If you have a non cat car which is relatively tidy or can be tidied, get the handbrake cable done and you could sell it privately for near to £3k easily. It's all about how you present the car. You're throwing money away if you go to any of these websites.

      @@carsalvage101 Not sure as at my local Tesco today I saw a Blue 2010 Pop 500 guess how much ? £1000 and the girl who owns it has had everything done to it , I actually offered her a swap for my 2013 model said to her you pay me £500 and your car and you can have mine but she politely declined as she wants to get a more reliable larger vehicle now , She's on about getting a Toyota Land cruiser very expensive they are but probably worth it.

    Driver's door and front wing colour seems a bit darker than the rest of the car. That was probably the Cat S previous damage. Regardless, it seems you got it at a good price.

    Looks like a bit of a bargain there as most BMW X2's seem to have had an argument with a bollard and damaged the chassis and engine sump (It must be a BMW driver thing?) 🙃

    My wife's 2011 500 was rear ended exact same damage. Car was fully drivable but was written off Cat N. It was just the wheelwell was crumpled but overall structure was ok . We took the money but it I saw it was fixed as was passed MOT. just needed a bit of panel work on the well and a new bumper .

    • @carsalvage101
      @carsalvage101 22 дня назад

      Probably worth taking the money and running. It's hopefully not too much of a job to sort out the wheel well and getting a bumper and crash bar, but a garage will charge alot of those I reckon!

    I had the opposite problem where I bought virtually the same make and model from Copart as a cat s and believe it or not the only damage was a small ding the size of a five pence piece on the back wheel arch and as a qualified motor vehicle technician I could find no more damage. I even let two more qualified engineers and an mot station look at the vehicle and none of them could find the slightest problem either so with low mileage fsh and immaculate now with the ding repaired I have great vehicle EXCEPT I NOW HAVE TO SELL IT AS A CAT S !!! The saving grace is that I only paid £525 for it plus a new stop/start battery. The assessor’s really need to get their act together 😊
