You need to set yourself some sort of challenge for next year... Start off with a couple of hundred quid banger and work your way up to 20K profit in 12 months or something. That would make a great watch 👍🏻
sounds a great idea. build up profit to be able to buy a supercar or similar from copart and fix it up
Mike Brewer did two series of this. Wheeler Dealers trading up.
@@JakeAndDaddy yes but hes a lot better than mike brewer hence why I'd love to see it done
And let’s be honest, brewer probably had help and I’m sure the sums didn’t add up right?
HMRC would be all over him lol
Good video. Would definately want to see similar ones like this
Nick White cheers mate I enjoyed doing it 👍
Wish there were more people like you in the world. Top guy
sheepdogman1 cheers mate
Love the videos haven't got a clue about fixing cars but hooked 👌
Yet again another amazing video I find myself checking RUclips notifications waiting for your next vids so informative looking forward to next one 👍
It's very rare these days to get someone who actually describes a car right when selling it I got stung on a ford s max which wasn't cheap I wish all sellers were like this guy honesty is always the best policy. Brilliant video mate 👍
Mr Smith thank you
Thats what i call a quick turn round, you didnt even have to put fuel in it lol. Once in a while the dice rolls in our favour and a nice little earner pops up . Thanks for sharing Rob.
Nice one Rob, we used to buy cars from one auction, ship them to another down south and get more money for them. Good old days. Love the channel.
5 years ago I brought a 2007 zafira, £900 92k on the clock! All because it had been keyed on one panel, cost me £10 for a paint match and a steady hand spit and polish and she's still going strong and it's only just hit 96k. Very pleasant seeing g this video pop up 👍🏻
Big kudos for you for helping that elderly couple the other day. X
Hannah Williams it had to be done . Thank you 😊
You are on to something with these cheap salvage videos mate, they are really entertaining and most importantly they are no money.
Great work sir! I'm currently doing a similar challenge, working my way up from a £150 banger to something a bit more tasty! Great video and very informative!
Just an idea for you. These can be bought cheap now but convert it to wheelchair accessible removing the back seats and a cut and weld to the floor and they make 3.5 - 4k ... just look on eBay.
Love it when you get a notification saying new video up loaded. Do enjoy watching, keep them coming 👍
Original owner was happy, new owner is happy and you're happy... What's not to like?
Interesting video. I had a mate who would haunt the big car auctions looking for dirty, muddy, unkempt cars. He'd buy one, drive it back, get it valeted and then put it through the auction again.
That's all he did, cosmetic stuff. He'd always turn a profit on every one without getting oily ever!
My Dad always said " well bought is half sold " . Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Full time RUclips is coming... Thanks
Tim Fenton cheers tim 👍
I love your videos and every time I learn something new from you . Thanks
Nice work Rob - straightforward, honest and quick. Next one please!
Great video , common problem bearings fail in the m32 don’t blame you for not bothering to fix it . Nice to see you on cam aswell .good luck
I first thought there was something else wrong at that price but should be a good project. Like to see all the repair. Thanks
Nice honest selling. Pity most dealers aren't like that.
Lovely vid! Bot old? My Toyota is 35 years old and still runs like a beauty. Please make more of these vids, they are inspiring!.
Good honest work .I've bought cars for £500 POUND and from A to B always served me well
Another video that keeps me watching from start to finish. Thanks again.
Peter Armstrong thank you for watching 👍
more like this please
I admire your honesty when you sell a car 👍 it’s such a shame there are a few unscrupulous sellers out there that’ll tuck you up, had a few myself in the past. Well done, good sale 👍
james henley cheers appreciate it 👍
Great deal. Of course your knowledge limits the risk.
Have you tried Carly ODB adapter. Really convenient and easy to use. Uses an app that you install on your phone so no need to carry any large monitors around, fits in your pocket.
More of this please.
I like the fact that you were able to flip it and I would like to see more of these videos
Nice one Rob. My son use to buy valet and resell on cars and 99% of the time,made a good profit,most times by just valeting and buffing up faded exterior paintwork and made them look like showroom condition.
robert willis I have done the same 👍
@@sruk my sons in australia now,but im gonna make sure i get him to subscribe to your channel
robert willis very kind thank you
I normally use RUclips for watching motorcycle stuff but stumbled across your channel and am working my way through your videos. This is a great channel with fantastic content, always interesting and really enjoyable to watch, especially so with me being a mechanical numpty. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Simon Walden 👌👍
Traction control light is on because of the C0131 error code, not because of a wheel speed sensor. Only way to fix that is to fit a new hydraulic unit.
Very common problem with the Teves MK70 system and affects many makes and models. Ford, Volvo, BMW, VW, Seat, Peugeot...
I enjoyed that video - many thanks
I love this video. You make it seem so easy to flip a car for a decent profit. Thanks for putting the video out there
Doubled your profit, it didnt catch fire and not many people seen you driving it. Winner all round.
Great video as usual. Keep em coming I’m really enjoying the channel. Love your 100% honest approach to what you do and how you convey it to the audience.
Love watching your videos no rubbish just STRAIGHT TALKING GOOD JOB
Excellent video. Keep em coming. Need more people like you and chrisfixit. Honest car help. Top man!
It's good to know that there are kind and generous people like you out there in the World. 🌍 🙂👍
Rottie what did I do ? 👍
@@sruk You sold the car on for less than the buyer wanted to give to you (this happened to me when I bought my first ever car years ago). Some say that it brings the buyer good luck with the vehicle they are buying, like an old superstition.
The sport button is the traction control !! It’s on dash next to door lock
“Leave a little money in it for the next man” WHAT A GUY🤝
well done another great video quick profit best way thanks
Great Rob. Fantastic to have a quick turnaround and a decent profit too. Well done.
Buyer happy and you are happy. Wins all round. Just discovered your channel and enjoying the videos!
We need a Quick Turnaround playlist. These are terrific. Super profit🤝
Well done Rob- another good, honest vid of what can be done and no-one stiched up.
More please. Thanks Sue
You're a good man: honest and settling for enough by doubling your money 😎 nice to hear straight mechanics/dealers. Even better you're near my Island, even if I live 500 miles North of Edinburgh 🏝️
I must admit I don’t miss them gear boxes. Always 1st or 6th to go, something to do with bad bearings?. Surprised how cheap the gear boxes are now!
Enjoyable video, I used to find a lot of my old motors on drives etc, but those days are long gone thanks to DVLA and all vehicles having to be sorned, insured etc etc😢😢😢
Really enjoyed this video Rob. What is good is you shifted it quickly and let someone else make some money out of the car (after gearbox) or grab a good keeper.
Loved the video. Very interesting
Nice honest video mate with no bullshit or stupid music, I liked it so much that I’m going to subscribe, kind regards, Chris
chrsrans1 👍
That's one great video Rob so different from the salvage videos. More of both please Rob cannot get enough.
Nice quick turn around with that one Rob. Just shows what a good clean can do for a car. I'm the same as you a car has to be clean to sell for good money. Keep em coming. Great to see more varied videos.
So you mugged off your friends friend, well done.. amazing bloke
Good little flip mate
Really enjoying the cheap car challenge, i did a fair bit in the day. In fact looking for another now. Bangers are best is my moto. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos & all the makes/models of cars you do. It's a great feeling doubling your money & well done. Keep the great content coming.
Top bloke. Wish there were more traders like you out there.
Super video - please do more of these. Thank you!
Super, loved all your videos, honest, clear and reasonable. Keep going mate
1.9 cdti chocolate box we went with the 1.8 sri 140 comes with f17 box which you can pick up cheap only thing is there a 5speed and sound like they're about to blow up in 5th but if you buy a 1.7d box put all the gears into the f17 you got the d gear range then and acts like a 6 speed also to turn traction control off and on hold sport button and that seatbelt buckle in the back is probably goofed there are known for jamming and the side casing pops off
I love this video. Thank you. So honest - its so refreshing
i love when i get a car like this but thay dont come every day
It's pretty unusual to see a Zafira that's so straight in the body as most of them are pretty thoroughly battered by that family car park life...
@Pete Coventry There are a few properly nice ones around, but most of them you see around are pretty care-worn from family life...
sweet another quick flip! thanks for filming it
Well done Rob, job well done. Fascinating to watch.Keep up the good work. Chris.
Definitely do more car flips. Keep up the good work. A great channel.
Nice Video and Idea, but for shopping around for a garage to do a gearbox refit for 150?? Double that would be cheap.. Vauxhall would probably charge 1k labour.
John Ferguson I was thinking this, my labour on one of these is £400 and not a nice job
My man is Russian subscriber again thanks for video still waiting for coffee invitation.And hell yeah you sound like proper teacher man your speech is incredible I do clearly understand all what u saying God bless you please more video
Is it just me that finds your videos much better than the crap on tv!
Thanks Rob
Rich Weston lol that’s brilliant and made my day cheers 🍻
I enjoy all your videos
there should be a sport button on the dash hold it for 5 seconds to de activate traction control
How are cars in the UK so dirt cheep? If just checked online and here in Portugal people are asking between 7000€ and 9000€ for a 2007 Zafira! There's even one asking for 11500€ for a 1.9 CDTi with 142000 kms. Outrageous!
More of these videos please. Really enjoyed it.
Great content. Please do some more like this.
robert williams I will do 👍
I have same Launch, but the higher version (VIII) that can see more than your model! I check and update my Launch every so often. Mine does see ABS SRS fault codes. Good quick sale.
Nice work pal, when you're picking something up for that cheap it is just worth advertising as you get it as there will always be a market for spares/repairs with cars like this.
Same engine as the vectra,
150bhp could remap to 190-200ish,
They'll give a few boy racers a shock for a big car.
Its either 150HP 1.9 or 120HP 1.9
Heavy car though
Thats why i love my gsi, spanks most cars even if its full, some of the kids these days dont know shit lol
Arron Garner any tips I’ve only been driving 1 month, best 2nd hand car websites?
Sorry keep forgetting Instagram salvage rebuilds
Well done Rob.
I'm going to change your channel name to 'The Man With The Golden Touch', as everything you seem to touch turns to gold LOL.
Bootneck it’s all hard work honest lol
bootneck, king midas is shorter and snappier :)
Keep em coming
Happy to see a few of these thrown into the channel
Suprised i really enjoyed this.
Another great video my friend.love your honesty, that is what is making you grow on here,keep it up
Almost bought one actually,just because you said that the 6 speed manuals tend to fail at some times. For a car that I would like to have for 4+ years,it better have a good engine(Diesel only!!) and a great manual transmission
Had a zafira for years..great work horse. Gearbox casing is why the bearings wear out..been new updated gearbox case out for good few years..had mine done lasted years
Nice one mate , recently I bought a pug 106 for £200 spent £75 on it for including MOT advertising etc and sold it for £700 .
Thanks for uploading and nice little profit 👍
Good interesting video. Please do some more like this. Thank you.
Do a challenge series Rob.
Hello Rob,
There is a white fiesta titanium going through Thursday at sandwich reg Bk14 XXD. Don't bid on it. Engine failure due to electric water pump damaged in accident. I repaired it first time round. Some poor bidder is going to have a shock.
Definitely want to see more videos like this Rob. Good profit
I’m selling one of these for spares. Perfect engine, gear box. Drives perfect. Looks perfect. Burgundy. Only con is it’s Irish reg so it’s Opel instead of Vauxhall
A quick flip nice little bit of cash 👌
Amazing how you explain your fixes keep it up I used to watch quest channel on t v not got a patch on your videos brilliant
nice one rob wiped it's arse and waved it goodbye that's the way to do it
