A throwback to that time BCA sold me a crash damaged, stolen car and what I did about it! Also, we have grim news on the BMW X1 we were landed with two weeks ago.... and it's not great!
Why do customers lie about their trade in? The auction mistake gets worse, plus more dealer life!

Another day in my life - Customers rumbled lying on the part exchange. Sold a 600bhp toy. Another visit to the specialist with a problem. The BMW X1 gets ever worse and would you believe I almost get 10 minutes to myself to eat a sandwich! One day I will get this business together!
It never gets easier selling cars! From driving a Lotus to dealing with more savage warranty claims

Another day in the life of a humble car dealer, this time dealing with yet more warranty claims, picking up a rather nice car from Lotus and some tales of my childhood. Hope you enjoy!

A typical Sunday out, meeting a friend, drinking coffee and enjoying some supercar action. For the record, this is NOT a typical day out!!
I foolishly bought another dealers problem from auction… today it landed!

I hate buying from car auctions. It’s stressful, time consuming and as we can see here… not always a great outcome! Also the Ferrari died. Just another day in the life of a car dealer. Sigh. 😞
Auctions day 2 and I’ve got it very wrong… even after all that planning!

After the day starting so well with an epic sound test of an Aston Martin through a town centre, things went downhill very quickly. NOT looking forward to this auction purchase turning up. Every day is different, in the life of a car dealer! Whoopsie!

Big mistake not stipulating any warranty work needs to be brought back to you Giving a scumbag customer who connives to get a main dealer to scrutinise it and you pick up the bill is par for the course .
And give out a loaner, make sure the customer knows the loaner is a this that or the other
Pal of mine who sells BMW’s and the occasional Ferrari or Lambo sells a bmw 1 series for around £8k He’s in a chineese restaurant on a Sunday at 3pm and gets a text there’s a problem so looks but leaves it . 15 mins later he gets a call the brake lights on so as loudly as possible in a packed restaurant screams I’m trying to have a fkin chineese meal with my family and you’re ruining it 😂😂😂
Enjoy your video but please stop blaspheming
Ford kuga issues if you have one .get rid before 50.000 miles it will have management issues I can bet .
The Key to this story never buy or sell a Maserati.
Mo like you’ve had a right touch Possibly you speak to,the office staff good Try that at copart you’re welded into a wrongun
That BMW has got all the stuff my 2017 Kia Optima has!
Great video mate
Are most Maserari's low mileage due to the return legs being on a transporter? Seriously though, chap sent you the picture of the handbook saying don't drive the car with the light on then drove it on holiday on quite demanding roads.....that is a new level of irresponsibility.
😂😂😂brilliant
Yeah got to be honest, didn't see that beetle coming.
Cool car
Good video as always big Rob 👏
Rob u are a natural the videos just keep getting better keep up the good work 👍 Hopping u can show some of the work that goes into prepping & detailing the cars for sale
Il trade to bag of asda smart price cheese and onion crisps and vin sticker for VW 😂🎉
10:15 - Someone left a can of Red Bull in the back of that Beetle . . .
Is it the case that in a part exchange, a car may be initially valued at, say, £10,000, but the dealer might inflate the price to £13,000? Then, if the dealer accepts a car in part exchange valued at £3,000, it effectively means the dealer has acquired the £3,000 car at no cost. In this scenario, the buyer has essentially given their car to the dealer for free, allowing the dealer to make a profit on the original £10,000 sale and potentially make an additional profit when they resell the part exchange car or sell it at auction. Does this actually happen?
Great videos, enjoying the content. Get a second mic (or use the other one) for Cal. 👍 Grant
Subbed great looking showroom Aston was Lush
Some nice part xs and that aston martin is realy nice
Hi sir, always been apprehensive about SOR especially lumpy stuff like the Lotus, what do you do if the deal goes tits up customer wants his money back and you've already given it to the original owner? Thanks
Brown leather?! Brown?! Come now Rob that is not brown it’s BISCUIT. 😁
Charlie always says dont speek to strangers .If you want a laugh watch Shifting Metal he pays double the price for cars the Auctioneer see,s him in the Crowed and starts again after 8 thousand , they all shout he,s here he,s arrived .
I bought an XR3 years ago it was 2 cars into 1 so i asked for the other Ends bitts , And then i had 2 XR3s I sold them both a month later in Salford .
What makes the lotus vat qualifying? Is it a milage/less than a year old?
Crap. Is that only a V6 in car number 2 sounding that special. Never.
Where Vantage come from .. a right looker
What's the name of your garage?
Cubit cars 😂
@@flippingcarsrepairs 5 miles from me
@@flippingcarsrepairsNope…….Cubitt Cars!
Well, at least you found out why the son wrapped it
Some great stuff sold and real nice p/x arriving
Australia drive on the left, so I suspect the Beetle is a genuine R/H drive car. If it's been restored ( engine and bodywork ) I would expect that car to be worth around £18k+ The colour may let it down though. Great car. Love it
When at a Peugeot dealer we had a lady estate agent turn up in the showroom one lunchtime to buy a new 205 CTI, but only if it could be delivered the same afternoon. As this was pre internet it meant we had to PDI, register and tax the car in a big rush (always a long queue at the licensing office). We did it, but she proved to be forever a huge pain in the a*se, everything had to be done immediately, no ifs or buts.
Stolen car dealing dodgy tw@t
Great cars are sold, and some cool part exchanges in. That beetle is really cool. Great advertising vehicle. Surely it's worth around £7k. Guess it's just that it's an import and converted left to right drive, which may depreciate it a little...colour is right though !
hi rob like your video great can you tell me wher eyou get your car cover from got some classic allan
What a great collection of trade in cars. I wouldn't have guessed you would have had a beetle as a trade in.
That vw beetle is brilliant what a good laugh good luck in selling it
I've just returned from 2035 in my DeLorean and you were right about the ferrari
Love that Vantage ❤
Great video as always mate 👍🏼
They drive on the left in Australia - just like us - so probably no conversion!
STRUTH! Never thought of that!
I was about to jump in and say that - so yeah, not converted. In the same way Japanese imports are popular both here and in Oz - right hand drive
No, looks like a conversion to me. The wipers are Were left in factory LHD orientation. (Edit : posted by an Aussie! 🇦🇺)
Buyers are Liars ❤️
Sellers are tellers….
Great video, as always. I can only dream. Lol. Cheers.
Thank you mate 😊
Brilliant video mate and interesting insight
Thank you mate really appreciate that.
Great video. I appreciate the quality of the content.
That means a lot thank you! We are trying!
@thelogbookcc The effort shows on camera. You're doing a great job. Started watching you guys from the podcast. An update every week or two on stock etc would be a great series.
Got a a 2018 530e in friday. Drove it two days. On the third day i got a pool of water on floor. You guessed it oil cooler housing goosed. £230 for a new plastic housing! Plus about 2 days labour nearly
Savage! How am I not surprised! Between me and you… the 840 window regulator is already broken… CARS!!
@thelogbookcc BMW are trash now. I've got a old e92 M3 I've had a problem with powersteering for 10 month, spent £800 and still can't fix it. As for the oil cooler issue on newer bmw's it's very common. So common JCT in Bradford actually stock the part needed and they normally don't even stock a light bulb so that tells you how reliable oil cooler housing is. I'm disappointed with BMW really gone to sh1t
Thats put me a new bm 😂😂@DaleSteel
Hi, just discovered your channel on RUclips and find it both interesting and entertaining. So, end of this year in the market for another car, thinking between Mercedes S Class Coupe or BMW 8 series. This will probably be the last car I buy due to age (62). Which in your opinion would be the better option? I currently have a Mercedes. Thank you.
It's been nice to follow from planing the auction to hopefully "fix" the problem.
Thanks, very interesting to watch the auction, hope the bmw is ok
Thanks for the video, interesting to hear the bad "stuff". Good luck
