Only problem is your world becomes so much smaller once to swap your car for a bus pass. I remember when I couldn’t afford to run my car for a couple of years. Then things that took an hour to do became a half day chore travelling and hauling.
Loved the Saab 9-3 Aero, I was looking to buy one last year, having owned two og 9-5 cars and I like the over engineered cars that the Swedes produced, despite the GM bean counters trying to cut costs. Couldn't find a good one, so bought a well looked after Honda CR-Z instead.
That VW UP looks very much like the 59 plate Daihatsu Sirion that I bought in 2015... I think I paid £750 then... but when it came to parts, it was a mare, as Daihatsu had pulled out of Europe just after making that model, which was a real shame.
I need to take a trip up North to that G3 auction . That old Galaxy and poor paint work Zafira would have sold as a quick flip , ideal dog walking cars , carboot sales car , tip run car . You got some good buys there Lee , good luck mate 👍
Huge difference between book price and retail prices customers always losing try and save up and buy a car private and get it checked out before purchase will save you thousands!!
i bought a 15 plate ecoboost a few years ago with only 48000 on it,i knew about the wetbelts but thought it would be safe for a few thousand miles..wrong,pickup pipe got blocked and blew the engine..lesson learned
You did well on the purchases today, all easy fixes if they need it. It's a shame you hadn't noticed the VW Up as I think that would have been a good seller, hopefully quicker than the Mii you had.
that red Vauxhall zafira the line down the back quarter panel was from a past repair where it got cut and had it replaced and they did not do a good enough job putting it together and is showing the gap with body filler and i looks like body filler on the side also
I've just bought one with the wipers not working and some bodywork damage to the front bumper. Purchased for £400, wiper control unit £38 secondhand and a matching colour bumper for £110. Car had 58k miles on the clock and full service history. Moved on for £3,300
@ 23:39 I noticed the lady from the rostrum pointing. I used to also put coffee cups on the tow bars at the auctions, it’s a bugger if you walk into one whilst cutting between the cars. I’ve saw loads of traders do it.
Jaguar was not that cheap when selling on auto trader £2999 for 2016 yes a bargain for private buyer but could have a whole lot of issue if it 2.0 diesel
Brilliant 😂says doesn't want white or anything paint and the first 3 cars 2 are white and worse one is an ecoboom and a red one that needs paint 🤔🙈🤣🤣not sure if that was deliberately done or just coincidence 😁
You can set your watch by that 2.0 Jag diesel engine failing. Timing jumps and its toasted . Unless its had a full new chain kit fitted, its on its last gasp at 120K. Its around £2300 for a new chain, engine and gearbox out job if you want it guaranteed .
I really enjoy the auction videos, never having been to one, it is a new experience for me to see the bids being placed. I really liked the denim blue Fabia estate, it looked very well cared for, shame about the mileage though. Great video Lee❤.
Thanks Lee youve made my mind up i was looking at f pace Jags 2.0 diesels but i unsure about the reliability they look great but thanks for the heads up.
And yet, despite low auction prices and borderline scammy part-ex payouts, dealership prices have never been higher for everyday cars. "BuT mAh InFlAtIoN...!"
Had a 2.0 jag diesel last year, took loads of ads to sell, eventually went for best bid on e Bay, obviously lost on it, wouldn't buy another, chain goes at 90k, then it's very expensive.
Looks a good bus to be fair, but I know so little about them other than the odd service carried out for old customers. Always seems to be a market for them mind
I'm surprised to see many of my petrol-head friends moving over to electric cars, seems they don't want to get stuck owning a diesel or petrol car as the prices are dropping the nearer we get to 2030. Be good to see EV's going through the auctions at lower prices.
Shame about that red VW UP . 5 door as well. Comes from the Edinburgh area. Would the auction entertain you if you put in a higher bid than £1600 or would that be cheeky ?
Lee, I have recently bought an E51 Elgrand similar to the black one. I wanted to upgrade from my Mazda Bongo. I bought a high spec one with warranty and I'm first UK owner, I've already been under it with Lanoguard etc and secondary cats replaced with stainless steel through pipes. Having driven it now for a couple of months I find it just an awesome car, and that V6 can shift even though it is a two tonne van. Definitely thirsty, drive one if you get a chance though!!
why would i buy off a forecourt when i can buy 2 grand under list and get it checked over and fixed for a .fraction of their profit ? or do it yourself if you have the skill.
It would be better for G3 to rearrange there auction pitch so you don't have to listen to the other auctioneer. It must be off putting I think I would get fed up of the noise and leave.
Lee, show us what you buy... Because in my opinion you miss out on alot.. But then what do I know.. F all.. Just show us what you buy. Then the journey of the vehicle.. Maybe change your video set up... Show us what you buy.. Then..show us the story... (nice 3 buys)
As a keen maestro man and owner of many MG maestros I cannot let you get away with that 🤣👍Mg 3 is terrible compared to the maestro. Thanks for watching David 👍👍
Just thinking & you mentioned it Lee regarding the VW up , with the car besn provisional you if possible should have gone to enquires etc & said if owner or dealer garage won't accept the bid would they if i offered £200 above what they did. Basically same as gazumping. You also i thought should have bid on the 14 plate Kia Sportage which miles weren't too high & only £1900.& the 13 plate Renault Clio at £1700 . Obviously i know you have both isn't the kia already sold though. The Sasb 93 sportwagon couldn't see the front but an 07 possibly a facelift, if it is it looked just like my 09 sportwagon Vector CTDI even same colour & wheels. Bet that had been traded in as the cost of the 2.0T engine is outrageous its £700 or so.
I've literally just bought a used ford focus with a 1.0 ecoboost engine then came accross this video ..and reading some of the comments has me very worried 😢
Hopefully no worries for you, don't forget you'll just hear horror stories online. There are plenty of ppl who obliviously buy with no problem but the issue is well documented and once you know..... You know.... Hindsight eh.

As a car dealer why you complaining that the prices are low at the auction, means your make more profit when you sell. What is funny when you look at private sellers, try to sell vehicles without an mot or an mot with a month left wanting top money for it. Only 5 years ago a vehicle with out an mot was and still is worth next to nothing. An vehicles with a month left on the mot was just a little better. The only thing your doing is basically telling people that are after a new second hand vehicle is goto a car auction and your get a great deal. As the prices are low. When in reality it’s taken the last 5 years for the prices at auctions to come down to the prices they are meant to be. Auction prices have always been about supply and demand. Ie the higher the demand the more you will pay. But the auction have also been take over by these multinationals companies that have tried to corner the markets and over price the vehicles. An vehicle traders have let them do it by going to these multinationals company run auctions. Instead of sticking to the smaller auctions which have now gone out of business in the most because traders stopped going to them, by buy from the over priced multinationals company auctions. Second hand Vehicle prices will keep dropping over the next two years.
I have a question about the top don car starter, I store a car in a garage over the winter that has no electric, would I be ok connecting this to the car and leaving it, therefore saving the battery from dying and needing replaced.
The one thing I miss is going to the auction rooms but your videos certainly make up for it and the professional commentary is spot on on! Thanks Lee
