Kent auto salvage for parts 01795 424519
Sadly DA3 is not the paint code for them cars. It’s a body code.
Your paint is “vision metallic”
The earlier pre facelift car In the scrap yard is Aquarius blue
Paint code on a focus is in the small vertical boxes up the left side not along the bottom
What makes your programme better than a lot of the others is your and Chris' sunny, smiley, cheery disposition. In the face of adversity 😃
Rob, in times gone by I’ve bought and driven cars in far worse condition and been very thankful for them. It would have been invaluable to somebody down on their luck. My dad always told me a second class drive is still better than a first class walk 😀👍
That’s saying is amazing seriously respect to your dad he’s right
@@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark exactly what I was gonna say!
That car would make a perfect commuter Train Station hack. You'd never worry about getting dings or scratches.
exactly that.... could leave that car anywhere and it wouldnt be stolen... and even if it was, itd be a cheap usable car. saddens me to see em scrapping a usable car
Sad to see it scrapped when it was a sound runner.. Your standards are sometimes too high Rob, not every owner worries about a few scrapes here and there if the price is right. There's probably many people who viewed this video today from the 52K that would have bought it from you at no loss. So be it. Good content none the less.
You have to look at the big picture and that's what you're doing, its how successful business trade for years, glad you post this stuff to show its not all cash profit 😀
Rob after thoroughly watching this video today for the second time I wish to express in my humble opinion, that with a good clean inside and outside you could have sold it as it is and made a couple of hundred quid profit since it runs and drives.Any way no use crying over spilled milk.However you have a good bond with this gentle man called Mark from the scrap yard and made him earn a certain amount of money in selling him this car for breaking it up for spares.
This, ladies and gentleman has been a Salvage Rebuilds HMRC production. Not all deals end up with mega profits. Sometimes you have to take one step backwards to get two step forwards.
Thanks for showing what it’s really like and the real pitfalls that can happen in this line of work.
Some people dont care if the car is bashed about as long as it drives no problems.
Focus in the scrap yard is Aquarius Blue, yours Vision Blue. It's also a pre facelift at the scrap yard. Different creases in the door too.
Edit: you made the right choice in scrapping that car, hopefully your next seizure vehicle is a better one, if there will be a next one.
“ I don’t think we’re gonna earn a lot out of this one Rob “ 😂😂😂 Best line ever from Chris !!!
Rob & Chris honest enough to show the ups and the downs of the business. Best car channel on RUclips.👍👍👍
Part of being a motortrader Rob, we all get caught once in a while. Dealing your way out of trouble is the art of the job. Knowing when to hold and when to fold!
I'm surprised you scraped it, a good valet, a secondhand bonnet and sold as seen and that would easily make £1000-1200
I reckon you could have cleaned it and had a small profit out of it. At £595 it would have made a cheap runabout for someone to get them out of trouble.
I'd have been tempted to just give it a good clean as good as possible, check mechanicals were OK then sell as is, dings and all. Cheap runabout.
Who dares Rodney 😂. You did the best thing. A good warning to those who think you job is easy
For those who have followed you and Chris for sometime, we know this was simply a gamble with a very small sum of money. We know you would never do this sort of thing with any large amount of cash.
There is nothing to be down-hearted about. In fact let it be a lesson to everyone.
Onward and upward my friends 😄😄😄
I've never met anyone yet, private buyer or professional who hasn't bought a pig, it's life and I don't expect I ever will meet someone who hasn't. You both did the right thing by letting Kent Auto Salvage take it.
Omg the audio is absolutely spot on, well done Rob. The vids are perfect for me now, right balance between quality and content without the faffy overproduction you see on TV and other channels. Top job 👍👍
That blue doors you was comparing at the scrap yard was a door to the pre facelift focus. So it would have been wrong regardless. But never the less. Great content!
For a dvla car seizure thats pretty clean, I buy many off them and thats above average. Especially at that price as the scrap men are bidding 340 min for cars now.
Still a good wedding car up north is that car lol
Surely that would of done somebody for £500...
Chris looked peed right off 😂😂
How that car has been treated is uncalled for. It’s a shame to scrap it, these focuses are great cars, it deserved to be sold cheap to someone who will put in the work and put back on the road, didn’t need a huge lot to do.
We love the content regardless of profit. Don't forget Chris did find 20p
That’s why we are engaged with all your videos, the honesty and genuine nature of buying and salvaging cars, as always an excellent video.
Hi Rob and Chris I really enjoyed the video It gives a different aspect of the car business so thankyou for a great video take care both 😊,👍
Times have changed..As a Young car owner in the 80's...Car scrap yards were full of accident damage or Rotten cars...Today you'll see stacks of straight 10 year old cars with unviable repair expense costs ...It's a throw away society now..and business is business..Its as if there has been a 360 in the decades...40 years ago you'd have good motors in Rotten cars...Today you have Rotten engines and electronics in solid cars..
Even if it was the right colour the door lines in the panel are completely different needs to be a cars 08 and above rob
He's looking at a mk2 door for a mk2.5 car
I bought and drove cars like that for years, good clean inside and away you go. First hint of a big bill and off to the scrap yard. Great video as usual , better luck with the next one 👍.
Rob, it’s not just the colour, the pre-facelift doors are a slightly different shape, you can see the creases under the handles on your one, not the same on the one at the yard.
That car could have been easily saved, what a complete waste it was a little bit of cosmetic damage
I thought the same. There is more than one salvage yard in the UK......
@chris jones could have given it to someone who was willing to save it. Not much of a salvage channel if they get beaten by 2 doors.
@chris jones that’s no excuse, that car was fine, ran perfect all it needed was a clean, who cares about the scratches they don’t stop it from driving
That would have been a great runabout for someone on a tight budget, I think it’s a British thing, people in Europe or further afield don’t have the same attitude towards the cosmetics that we have.
I totally understand why they want to keep a good relationship with the breakers yard though.
Not understanding why you thought the car was so bad????? It ran good. Minor scratches on doors. Inside definitely could be cleaned. It just didnt look bad!!!!!
yea it was had to understand, why bother getting a key cut?
Cos rob is a utter plumb, without Chris’s knowledge an craftsman ship this channel would be dead an just a dale winton look alike talking crap 😂
Its so good for you to be totally honest and show us the bad side as well, thanks.
Honest and genuine fellas as normal 👌 all that glitters is not gold. Did the best thing in the circumstances you will your rewards on another vehicle no good throwing good money after bad .stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Friday's video 📹 😊 already.
I bet someone would have paid about £600 for a cheap run about.
Not a car to be scrapped in the current climate (unless unsafe)
Would have made a great freebie for a young subscriber. Love cars but hate the throwaway society we live in 😕
How have you managed to lose money on a £300 car than runs fine and someone would pay £700 for 😅 all you had to do was advertise it honesty for £750 and someone would have taken it off your hands.. more money than sense.. just taken a cheap car away from someone who may have been struggling.. so stupid
Made their profit from the YT video.
@@beachlife2968 not the point at all
@@danlawrence9051 Making a profit is the only point. This video had drama which got the views and comments. You can't be sentimental in business even though it may be sad a seemingly drivable car has gone to car heaven.
Totally agree what a waste of a car it still had mot until Feb 2023 and could have done someone to get back and forth to work during the winter months and for £500-£700 wouldn’t matter if it was knackered out by the next mot for that money and mots on it looked pretty clean anyway but it’s their business and it’s on their heads now
Rob that was never a loss..... been watching your channel from the start and the number of times you said Mark let us have these bits free of charge im pretty sure your still well in profit 👌 also nice to return a favour to someone who looks after you 👏👏
Such a shame a good running car had to be scrapped. I would’ve happily paid a grand for that in that condition and used it as a runaround. The dents and scrapes wouldn’t have bothered me.
And wen the cam belt snapped you would have wanted your money back it’s scrap bud
That's what I love about this channel you show it even if you lose you show how real it is there not all easy as it looks.... people saying you would of got more yes but is it worth the time and stress you got more by helping a friend out
as always a sound decision and an honest video showing the ups and downs of any business -- onwards and upwards
@ 14:00.That skin on the donor door is completely different, the mk2.5 focus (08-12) had a designer fold going down the complete side of the car . The mk2.0 (05-08) didnt
As long as the shape and hinge/lock placement is the same, you’re golden.
Good honest video Rob & Chris. That's life, we don't fall in 💩 and come up smelling of 🌹's all the time. 👍👍👍
Loving the sound quality with the mics nice addition keep up the fantastic work on the channel
When I was desperate for transport I would have been happy to buy that from you for the price you paid.
Those doors that were a different colour wouldn’t of lined up anyway as they were from a prefacelift and have a different body line
That's been a work car service clean up down the road for a grand 👍
Hi Rob & Chris,it was worth a shout , shame it wasn't to be,as you said, Mark has help you guys out in the pass & he's happy with the car,also that's another buy from customs & hopefully more to come.
Love the honesty. Proper car guys who don’t make perfect decisions every day. Rob & Chris are the best non RUclipsrs. 👍👍
It wasn't a bad buy. I drive worse than that to work every day. End of the day, it's got a 1.6TDCI/HDI in that ran nice. Gonna be kicking yourself next week if you buy a Berlingo that wants an engine.
Great interesting video giving everyone an insight that you can't always strike gold.😊
Congratulations, lads on the use of your new microphones! They make such a difference and we can now hear Chris perfectly. Thanks for all your efforts. And I can tell you're actually really gutted to have to scrap that car. It was obviously a decorator's 'van' for the final years of its life.
One of those things. Well done for looking after Mark too. Thank you for sharing.
Surely a quick clean and MOT to keep someone on the road??
Newer than either of the motors I drive, looked like it had plenty of life left in it, shame to see it scrapped, would have been ideal for bangernomics.
Thanks Rob and Chris. Another interesting video. This is life. You don’t win them all! I love that your channel keeps it real.
always like seeing these marginal/loss deals as it puts into a better perspective when you do hit the jackpot - also if this was a bunch of youtubers flipping cars for clicks and likes it wouldn't have been shown, the fact it is shows what an amazing insight into the car business this channel is showing - love it!
Great video showing correctly how to scrap a car, very interesting , This time next year you will be millionaires Rob n Chris 😂
Swings and roundabouts mate. That's what makes this a good business when you help each other out. Great upload and shows the realism of the trade.
Enjoyed the content Rob, its not all milk and honey. Success teaches us nothing. Great to see such honesty
That money isn't lost, it's worth every penny in goodwill with Kent auto salvage.
That car is actually twice as good as my current Ford Focus 😞
Hello Rob and Chris, another good video , as you have previously said you every day is a learning day.
Just shows the work you have to put in to get vehicles. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Just love it how Chris goes for the change under the seats!!
You've got to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em...
Time is something you can never get back…..
You've got to know when to hold em, know when ta fold em, know when ta stop and walk away. Decent gambler Rob is... wins on all the other punts, this one was a good little lesson for all the viewers. That sometimes it's just worth it. Fold and move on to the next deal!
Rob and Chris, this car project shows that, as you said a few vids ago; salvage rebuilds repair vehicles and post that content and not youtubers that repair vehicles for content. Fair play that when you see the reality of a car bought online that is very different from expectations you take a pragmatic approach. No shame or blame and a wise choice not to spend time and money on a loss maker. Please keep posting, the content is interesting and educational.
Gutted you scrapped it. why didn't you offer it for sale at a price between what it owed you and scrap price ...... I would of used that :)
£312.......... however good news is already got 20p of that back thanks to Chris' eagle eye - shame it wasn't full of loose change ha ha ha
Definitely the right thing to do! As you say, you're also helping out with giving them a car to recycle, the old phrase..
"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" comes to mind!
Keep up the good work on these vids.👍
Sometime it worthy to show newbies how to prevent loss. Nice honest content 👌 👏
Sometimes you’ve just got to cut your losses,that’s good business in my book
I'd buy half a dozen at the dvla seizure auction, meet the key guy down there, he'd do the keys, half of them had been abandoned due to serious mechanical issues, stopped going eventually.
Love the honesty and reality of what you guys do 🙂
Great honest video Rob!
This shows what you guys go through when buying a salvage car.
The focus in the yard was a mk2 the one you scrapped is a MK2.5 same car underneath but different body lights bumper etc
The body line that runs down through the handles is different anyway, you would have needed the facelift doors, they aren’t interchangeable
Well spotted, I don’t think Rob noticed that.
Really good honest approach video gents.. Love this channel.. 👍👍
Yeah I can't get on with scrapping "runs and drives" unless its a major MOT failure. The amount of mobile junk heaps I've had as courtesy cars shows there was life left in this thing yet, the dirt could of been cleaned up or replaced and the worst dents knocked out. Still it's your money so....
Rob I’ve just been reading a lot of the other comments. If this is your only loss for 2022 then believe me you’ve had a “Right Tickle” son !!! Good Luck 😉
Chris always looking for the money 😆
All in all, I think this example is a positive reflection of your standards. Someone might let the doors and wing stay as they are and sell it off cheap, but you don't do that. You either make it nice of let it go. Good on you!
Excellent vid on the correct way to scrap a vehicle. Very interesting, thanks for the insight Rob.
Well if you were to ask me I think that was one of your most interesting videos. I just find it a shame that's a2010 vehicle has to die. I live in Ireland and I'm always wondering would it make more sense for me to get a car from England or would it be too dear I have a little Volkswagen Caddy van that I bought from new and would love to get a Nissan Qashqai maybe something that has a small bit of work to do to it
Those roof bars are the most valuable part!
I have to say this video made me laugh because we've all bought dogs, so good to know we're in good company lol - when Rob opened the rear door and noticed the hole I literally laughed out loud. Nice to see the bad side of things too so hats off for sharing your fail!!! :-)
Shows how things don't always work out but at least in the long run it will be beneficial to you so you have not lost money really!! Just look on the bright side of life and it was interesting content
There is a car breakers in Wokingham where you can go in as the general public to remove parts yourself and you can see them do the de-pol there on site. Been there many times myself and thoroughly enjoyed my time there searching for parts
I reckon you could have easily sold it on for £500 as is, anything round here with a bit of ticket on it would sell the same day, I have sold a lot worse 🤣
Hello both, and what an sencible decision by you both, this is what you call "doing buisness" and realising the true cost of what you do. A small loss of money, but, you have space for another project!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
What do you mean a sensible decision?
They had no choice it was scrap. This is what happens when you think you’re going to make a killing out of someone else turns back on you that is not good business when you lose money that’s what can happen sometimes when you get greedy
Bravo guys for showing this video and keeping it real, we love to see everything, be it good, bad or plain ugly, that`s why we love you! If you ever talk to a gambler, you will only ever hear about their wins, but not on this channel. well done lads, keep em coming
Both doors are blue, be a good run around for some poor blighter. 😁
A decent bonnet would have tipped the scales, I think.
"It is what it is", as you say no problem, Rob.
Seems a shame to scrap a runner, someone could of used as is,seen worse on the roads
Best bit was the leaves painted all over it on the blue base coat. So realistic.
Nice to see the reality of your business, warts and all ! 😀
