Put a new chain on it James . Nice car and with a new chain it will be a quiet car as well.. I would try and sell it for £2400.
Like others have said do chain and up price to £2395, don't undersell yourself.
Defo worth the money with the chain mate, the fact u give someone that option speaks volumes in my eyes, shows what an honest great garage u are…
Keep up the great work mate love the vids 👌🏻
Thank you mate means allot
In this market I would do the chain and put it up for £2,495. The chain, service and new brakes are the selling points.
Loving these videos every day, I am a dealer and learn so much watching you, I think the chain is bad I have had a few i10 and got to admit I wouldn't risk that going out without doing the chain done, you have a excellent reputation for selling really good quality affordable used cars, keep up the good work 👍
Good point bud
Those i10's are superb cars aren't they? Handle the miles so well. On this one I'd stick a new chain on it for peace of mind and to protect your reputation then market it at £2495 and let someone bid you - you've seen what cars are going for at auction those prices will be reflected on forecourts around you so even at £2495 it still represents value
You’d have to be mad to pay over 2k for a 2011 i10 CAT registered.
Had a quick search on autotrader and there’s 2012 Active with 96k on the clock for £1,995.
Or a 2011 Comfort 67k on the clock for £1,995.
And neither of those are CAT registered. 🤷♂️
Having said that I’d buy James’ over those because you know it will have no issues and will be clean inside and out.
You can leave that timing chain on it, something else as expensive to replace will go long before that chain.
For me £2,195 with chain done.
We are really struggling to buy anything from BCA at the minute, every car is going atleast £500 over cap clean and they aren't even clean. So after fee's I don't think the cars have any profit left in them! Currently buying private as its the only option 😩
Have really enjoyed watching this video and look forward to watching the next one when it comes out
Really enjoy your longer videos and looking forward to watching your next video when it comes out
Just wanted to say huge thanks for the content. Some superb videos and really insightful and interesting. Used cars are crazy at the moment. I have just p/x’d a 70 plate BMW which is worth 4K more than the PCP settlement after 7 months. Absolutely crazy. Thanks again 👍🏻
Thank you bud for watching and positive comments!
Prices are crazy - more like a stock market rally. Can't last forever but really hard to judge when the market will turn. Like most people I think the chain is worth doing.
£2195 w/chain change done, is to me an absolute no brainer.
Plus it will lessen your chances of having a warranty return in the absolute worst case scenario. Great vids by the way. Its great to see a totally honest car dealer.
As a buyer I'd definately be happy paying £200 extra with the chain done. If you planned on say keeping the car for 4 years thats less than a pound a week for the peace of mind. If I was selling it, I'd get it done and ask a bit more money.
Hope you and the family are staying safe and well
I wouldn't buy it with that chain rattle. Customers who know nothing about cars would be of the same opinion I believe.
200 for a chain is a ridiculous bargain. I would pay the extra without hesitation.
Your expanding your business sort the chain to keep the reviews good and get return customers
As your so honest James, get the chain done, and don't undersell....especially with car prices going into orbit at the moment!
Hi James congratulations on reaching 17,000. Subscribers and you will soon be at 18,000
With the price of cars going through the roof.. I'd put the chain on it and rase the price to £2350 with 2 months warranty on the car ... Good luck on finding more stock.. Andy in Hampshire ... Try FB Market place for stock ...
Cheers Andy
Definitely do the chain and reflect it in the price, repair looks good mate 👍 were there no issues with the camber? we've had them slightly clip the top of wheel and tweak the strut in.. 🤔
I’d want the chain done. Is it worth painting the inside of the arch where the damage was? Great channel keep up the good work.
Yes it is bud on the list . Many thanks!
I've had that with the break pads before. there was a knocking because of it believe it wasn't long after we got the car from a dealer lol. Was like 7 years ago.
£2195 with chain done. Thanks for keeping the videos coming mate. They’re much appreciated.
Cheers bud
Sounds like you could make more pushing back through auctions
Chain done, peace of mind and £2395 and open to a chip.
I would just do the chain, then you can sell it with confidence, and as the prices continue to go crazy I doubt anyone you might as other have said, maybe try for a little more - I mean your new stock are not going to cheap as they have been. How are you going to deal with these silly prices going forward? Enjoyed the vid as always.
What’s buffer on seat ? I use a scrubber and shampoo. Same ?
Put chain on it and sell it for higher price. Rattly chain will put people off and they'll think it's worn out even if you offer to change it for £200.
Prices will go even higher as the semi conductor impact cascades down from lack of new cars, lack of trade in. This ‘crisis’ won’t be over for another 6 months at least, supply and demand are totally mismatched. TBH, change the chain, you’ll regret it if not!
yep the prices have gone mental here in Australia too.
He just doesn't get it. Can't see how stays in business. He does not understand supply and demand. Packet of crisps made by some farm place near me just gone up from £1. to £1.20. thats a 20% price increase. Pay it or do with out
It’s not just this end of the market. Just sold my wife’s 12mth old, 9k miles MINI for £2.25k more than we paid for it brand new.
You supply some good quality cars. Get the chain done i bet it will fly out
You could do the chain and price the car higher.Also you could give the potential buyer the option of the chain being done at the higher price or not when viewing the car.Cheers for the video
Defo get the chain done - i'd also agree with some of the others £2300-2400 would be fair if it had a new chain
In the early eighties I went to the car auctions in Camberley and even then dealer's were bidding on their own cars to up the price.
I know this for a fact because a couple local dealers took a fiat 600 and we're bidding on it to up the price but it didn't sell so ended up taking it home.ran out of petrol on M4 and luckily a builder stopped and gave them some petrol.
Its the backlash of the the shortness of silicone computer components/chips for new vehicles ,I drive a lease Mercedes sprinter through the company I work for that is on a 2016 plate we only usually keep them for three years but with the pandemic we have had to keep them longer, just been informed it will be at least another 12 months before stock is available
They are too busy supplying amazon with Spinters There are hundreds coming through Grimsby docks
Totally agree as said last week, spoke to my audi salesman and wait times are 9 months now for a car some are longer. It took me 6 months to get my car ordered in April 21 Spoke to the people I work with and its the same story with VW, Mercedes, Renault and Seat, everyone who wants new car are sat waiting and so the older cars are still sat with them.
My brothers a river pilot on the humber and he agrees, loads of new vehicles coming in👍👍
It's also the impending ULEZ coming into force in 6 weeks time. Petrol cars are going for ridiculous premiums as people have suddenly realised it's £12.50 a day extra if your car doesn't meet the compliancy. I changed in February with no issues, a friend who left it to now is struggling to buy the right car at the right price.
As a buyer I would like the chattle Rain done bargain at £200 !Looks like a brilliant little car.
Nice looking car and a good price James
What’s your experience with Kia Picantos and their chains?
Well done for doing the mot repairs and hope it goes thought the 2nd mot with a problem
I'd say do the chain, it's less likely to come back and can only do your reputation good rather than people saying it sounds like a bag of nails, and hopefully prevent any knock on issues. if a car gives good service, customers come back.
love videos and your honesty. cheers.
"This may be a problem" lol
Hi James that car has come up really well
get the chain done it brings the engine upto the standard of the rest of the car.
I'd put it up £2500, then if someone is interested knock off some money if the chains rattling , give the customer the option of replacement then sell for the £2500. Love the channel keep it up.
Ime in the market for a personal van custom vivaro .prices so high and alot selling that could do with work doing on them ive walked away from about 12 now .where can I find decent ex lease
£2195 for me. If I am the buyer, I am going to be impressed when you tell me that the rattle was noticed and has been done! I currently have 2 Hyundai cars - an i30 and an ix20. They are both brilliant. I purchased the ix20 as a cat N with front end damage, repaired it myself and 2 years later it runs beautifully - cannot believe how quiet the 1.4 engine is. You don't see too many about but the Kia version seems quite popular
£2400 with the chain done...you are a business!
do the chain James & reflect that with the price buddy
I think a chain replacement would be the icing on the 🍰. Do it and mark up the price.
Hi James yes I would change the chain on it
morning james as a trader up north for me i carnt see the point in buying at these prices with the hammer fee plus or the hidden faults you've got to contend with that your the proud owner off when you've had it drooped off .For me just my opion for what its worth a few things that are driveing up prices the chip shortage so no new cars lots of people sold to wbac during covid now tying to buy them back young drivers returning or starting university we allways do well to the young drivers this time of year normally .regarding your i 10 we had one the vvt solenoids were blocked giving us a chain rattle but only on start up .great videos very enjoyable keep it up
Thanks buddy, I agree!
Get that chain done, James. It will make it easier to sell, won't it? I can see people messing you around with it already being a category s. Nice to see you have put a cheeky bid on an Abarth! Some of those prices are ludicrous. Keep on truckin', though...
Lol you spotted that
I would wait at the moment, starting with my own property.
Since the prices at auctions are over the top, and you have to pay your rent for the property every month.
Based on BCA prices do the chain and sell at £2495
I know someone who bought an Audi Q8 for £40k on HP 4 months ago and now he's selling back to the dealer for £50k. That's a 25% profit on borrowed funds in 4 months! People flipping cars now, not just houses!
Hopefully you can will some more cars soon from auction
Get it with chain done ✅
Sounds like a hole in the exhaust. If its the chain do it and advertise as new chain done at a higher price. I always look for "timing belt service done" on old/high mileage cars.
Way things are going it feels there is a bit of a reboot on the market as the supply of cars at wholesale level goes up and the price to the dealer inflates, the dealers will need to pass onto customers. Retail prices in Uk have been cheaper than many UK country and could eventually align closer because of the price inflation
Good point our prices have been low for long while
@@ChopsGarage ultimately the customer will lose out and could but hopefully not impact the volume of sale for dealers from lower affordability.
Those dealers paying more than retail prices will be keeping those cars or selling at huge loses these high bubble prices will be mirrored with super low crash prices when dealers go bust and stock is fire saled into auctions when dealers run out of cash or go bump. The public won't pay retail ++ prices. Absolute madness. Lots of tears to come
Hi first of all great videos and £2495 with new chain and a bit of a warranty 3/6 months as car market as gone up as you know and your not ripping people of it’s the current market
James auction prices are crazy.. Everything I look at seems to going double the price. Are you see prices increase on autotrader to reflect the higher prices?
@Rubber Thingy You mean those without trade insurance/trade plates .. I trade from my driveway lol
Live from Aston barclay in South Yorkshire, prices are very high, but managed to get a mint 59 fiesta titanium for 1575 and a picasso, 56 plate with good mot for 275,plus fees of course, tried to get a 12 plate yellow 500 but it made 2700,same with a 58 500 lounge, red leather, cabriolet, but dents at 2k,mint polo with 35 k, 58 plate, but 3k(!) anything retail ish in popular cars were doing all the money.
Fiesta sounds a good buy. a 12 plate 500 with under 60k would fetch 4k if a Lounge here. I was always told to avoid Picassos
@@ChopsGarage bought a 09 one for 300 from a local chap last week, went at away at 995,delivered to Chester, full price, plus delivery, St off 6 am, there for 8.30,guy loved it, breakfast at spoons, back for 11.30 mate, only needed a vac out and a wash, now that's car dealing bud.
I'm your roving auction reporter, finger on the pulse of prices, or something like that.
I live near a car auction have a friend who is paying just over scrap prices private and sending them strait to the auctions doing really well and doesn't have to sitt on them for weeks surely can't last forever
2195 with the chattle rain done lol.Be better with Quiet engine.Great video
Thank you
Do the chain James - you know it makes sense, then put it up for at least £2395, perhaps even £2425. With the prices cars are making at auction you would have a well sorted motor for sale and peace of mind, and perhaps even a slightly bigger profit? 🚘🚙🚗🚍🛻✅👍
Here’s a thought put what you have back through auction no messing with test drives or warranty
Looking at Gumtree you can pick up i10's privately for under £1k but you may need to travel. FWIW cars in the East Midlands/South Yorkshire can be worth the trip.
They'd all be sheds at that price. You can pick up a C1 or Aygo for under £1k, doesn't mean they're any good 👍
@@sammytheseal2307 Or private sellers who don't realise what they are currently worth....
Do you ever see I10 automatics, we are thinking about one for our daughter to learn to drive in
They are about but quite rare, they tend to sell very quickly so get in quick if you find one. It's available as a 1.1 or 1.2 engine but the 1.2 is definitely the more desirable as the smaller engine faces the criticism its underpowered.
@@andrewlaw If you do get one in I will certainly be interested... Not bothered about scrapes etc... Cos I am sure she will do some of her own
Looking at those auction prices - I'd get the chain done and put it up for £2195 ✅
Hope the it sells quickly for you and hope you get want you want for it
Cheers bud
I have a 2019 van. It is 2.5 yrs old with 11k miles. Yesterday WBAV offered me 50 quid more than I paid for it new. I don't think we have hit the ceiling yet either.
Oh god don't say that
@@ChopsGarage Seriously mate, paid 21500 delivered in March 19, offered 21555 just yesterday. 2 weeks ago they were offering 20600. Renault Trafic Sport Plus Crew van SWB.
I would do the chain you know then its a good car no come backs keep your good mame
Phil n stoke
Deffo put a new chain on it, wouldn't try to sell as is for your own peace of mind. Great video
I feel your pain trying to buy cars it's the same in cattle marts men paying double for cattle that aren't worth it they seem to forget that you only get X amount at the factory I've got a price for cattle and can't go above it or I'll be losing money there's no way they're paying twice what I pay and feed them for a year and make money
What's driving cattle prices up bud transport shortages,,,?
@@ChopsGarage to many buyers for to few cattle some are paying around £1300 - £1500 for weanlings and you'd be lucky to sell them for over 2k and you have to feed and look after them for at least 1 year it doesn't make sense to pay that much for them I don't pay over £700 for them a very odd time I might go to £800 I run a low cost system no fancy kit ect any more and I won't make any money the farmers that are paying the big money for stock definitely won't make anything
@@ChopsGarage I have the long distance transport license so I transport my own livestock but that's another cost on top of the buying price that they have too pay for
£2,195 ... as you say, don’t do it till viewed, if they happy taking as is with rattling chain... knock down to £1,995 👍
I would swop the chain.... It is worth the time and effort. Bob
Yep chain done 👍
I think you do the chain and add the price to £1995. It'll sell no problem. Looks really clean. 👍👍👍
I agree
Higher price with the chain done or a poor customer could end up being charged hundreds by some mechanic. Plus it will sound better when started.
Don’t forget if it’s someone’s first car they will be put off for life if it needs work shortly after buying it.
Won’t hurt to say you were going to sell it cheaper with the worn chain but you replaced it and added £200 which is far less than they would be charged at a garage plus they would have the inconvenience of losing the car while it’s fixed.
Your customer service standards, for which you are getting known for, won’t let you sell a car with a fault or a noise. If it did the MX5 wouldn’t have had the rattle roof fixed would it.
Happy customers tell their friends where to get good no fault cars from leading to more business.
When you get your own premises it could be worth letting past customers your new address and company name as some will come back to you.
Good points bud
sold my citroen cactus to we buy any car in June there value was 7000. just looked now it's value has gone up to 8350..
I had a trade value in January 2020
for the same car at 6000 with we buy any car..
so basically the car that's 20 months older 8000 miles more is worth now 2350 more than back in January 2020
I'd stick the I10 up at £2,495 with the new chain on it, prices are going crazy and the customer is going to have to pay for it. I've sold a couple of cars this week for what I thought was really strong money but they sold straight away with people fighting over them. Supply & demand as simple as that
Definitely a new chain.
There's a RUclipsr here in America that showed the offer received for his 2020 Dodge Charger. It's more than he paid new. Cars are supposed to devalue the most in the beginning, not go up.
I would prefer for the chain to be replaced and pay the extra £200 just for peace of mind. I enjoy the videos because they remind me a bit of the original Wheeler Dealers episodes and because you sell such nice little cars which are all very well presented. (how about Nice Little Cars as a business name?)
Prices going up in auction puts up forecourt prices. Most punters will just compare like for like so won't know about the rise unless they've been looking for a while. When your buying costs go up your prices will have to follow, but you can still stay at the bargain end of the market. TLDR: It's not what you price it at, it's how the market values it. It might even be worth going for cars with more remedial work needed, even though those prices are rising, to earn on the extra hours you'd put in.
Is i10 rattle after oil & filter change? Keep £2195 and stay firm at price after explaining everything you have done.
I'd pay the extra £200 for the chain work
Wow never seen a Pad Break up like that..! That could have been bloody awful if you needed to stop in a Hurry..!
😎
Would still stop fine, just very noisily! 😁
Second hand prices are so ridicules at the moment I've put off replacing my Civic. Im just gonna wait till next year when prices hit rock bottom and dealers are back to normal with new stock they cant shift.
£2195 with the chain. Its not worth your reputation if it fails.
£200 money well spent saves any future hassle like a warranty claim and will future proof that engine plus peace of mind from your end as the retailer of the car .
Just noticed petrol has gone from £1.32-£1.35…
In the USA it’s $4.00…
So if their petrol now costs over double what we’re paying then I’d expect it to keep
Going up here…
@@dw_e9288 ahhh… bloody imperial/metric measurements…
The '14 plate. Panda price was nuts. I bought a new Panda Easy once for £7100. That's over £4k and it's old.
My 04 cost £345 I guess I'm up!
@@benholroyd5221 if you've got remote key and the spare they could be worth more than the car soon. Panda great car that shape. Had 3.

Hi chop ive recently started selling cars, i have a mitsubishi colt cat n with 70k and 4 months mot good condition overall apart from a crack in the bumper, i have it up for 895 but im getting no interest is this normal?, what would you value it at its 09 plate
Needs a new mot bud then put it up for £1495
@@ChopsGarage thats what i was thinking, thanks chop, ill let you know when ive sold it.
@@ChopsGarage even though its cat n?
@@AL-PAKA yep
I'd be 1995 if t wasn't. 25% off is standard
I would pay the extra and go for the chain change.
Bid on a 2011 Suzuki vitara , was listed at £1700 trade price. Went for £3900 before fees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could repeat endless examples over the last few weeks. The bubble will have to burst soon.
Agreed!
Do the chain, it will make it easier to sell and avoid you getting a comeback. I would retail it at 2250.
Definitely do the chain and as the guys say shove it up for £2495,second hand cars are getting so expensive, that's still a good little car at that price point 👍
