TENG GIVEAWAY UPDATE: you might’ve noticed I’ve blurred out the giveaway date and time as due to an extremely tough personal situation at the moment I’m delaying it for a few weeks. I’ll be doing the live stream on the 29th May at 7pm UK time. that gives me some time to sort things out personally. I’m really sorry to delay it like this but I’m not fit to do a livestream at the moment at all. I hope you all understand and best of luck with the giveaway ❤

Oh wow, finally someone who doesn't pretend like selling cars is a get rich quick and easy scheme and there's actually A LOT of risk and work involved. Thanks for giving people this honest insight!
Haha thanks man! All about showing the truth, but unfortunately looking at views on other videos people prefer the lucky flips where I make a lot of money easily but they’re rare!
I'd say this is actually quite a risky flip on his end. Potentially making 1k - 1.5k profit when the car only drives 30mph is quite a big risk, but yeah I've noticed most car flippers are located in the US and the cars they get there are insanely profitable, alot of them just require a detail and that's it. It's quite difficult over here in Australia, seems like the UK as well. Same thing for phone flipping, alot easier in the US, and in the UK seems to me similar difficulty as Australia.
ig people over here in uk, australia and germany where im from arent too lazy to check what your stuff is actually worth like in the us at least it seems like that go me at this point 😂
I can't even explain how good it is to find channels like yours doing this kind of stuff, especially in the UK so it's actually relatable. Looks like other people feel the same way cause your subs are jumping up by the day. Keep it up man!
Totaly agree i do the sane but im less confident 😬😬😬
So glad you enjoy the videos mate! The kind words really do go a lot further than you think!
Prime example of resilience
Man you got it all fixed and sold it aswell
Thanks man! No option but to keep trying!!!
Great job lad. So nice to see a young chap with such ambition and drive to be productive and successful. Love what you do and much love for your channel.
Thanks so much man I really appreciate the kind words! Big things to come in the future I promise haha
Thank you very much for showing the reality. Your videos are fun and enjoyable, and it's interesting to see your journey. 🙂
I reckon there's a balance in car flipping where if a car is too old it might have more problems and won't be worth much even at its best, so might be worth aiming for nothing older than 10 years old, say.
I know this is a year old, but there are 2 things I have been told over and over that I noticed you doing in this video:
1. Only silicon grease should be used on the slide pins as that doesn't deteriorate rubber as opposed to copper grease.
2. Wheel bolts/nuts should be installed using a torque wrench. Of course on older cars it's often necessary to clean the threads and bearing faces.
Thanks again for the great content, and I wish you continued success in your journey. 🙂
Cheers man appreciate all the kind words!
Well done young man, i really like your no-nonsense, straightforward style. You've given a new lease of life to this car and someone will enjoy it thanks to your hard work and determination.
I've only just come across your channel and on the strength of this presentation i've subbed. Looking forward to watching more or your vids.
Crack on mate.👍
@@buckshotaaa very much appreciated thank you so much! I hope you keep enjoying the videos!
I know you failed to turn a profit, but - you didn’t just sell a problem into someone else. That’s admirable.
I’m hoping the ad rev and other bits and bobs treats you kindly for this so you aren’t that hard up.
Thanks man I really do appreciate the words! I can’t complain as the ad revenue is a bonus but not enough to keep flipping unless I start getting some profitable cars!
@@Josh.Sanderson I hear that. I’m gutted you didn’t turn a profit on that car as well, but it can’t be denied that you grafted.
More class then most mate, even when buying from garages they do bare minimum to flog a car.
Keep going, you’ll find your groove, trust me. Good content as well.
Just discovered your channel recently and i really like your videos and your editing. Keep going!
Glad you enjoy the content buddy! Hopefully more great vids to come!
Great channel, great videos and great guy, change nothing keep doing what you are doing and you'll have a massive following in no time 🙌
Thank you man the kind words really mean a lot! Making this a full time job is the absolute dream!!!
Well done with your hard work you got yourself out of it .Buying price is always the key .You should never be paying more than trade in price .Fixing cars for other people to enjoy is painful if your not making .It's all good experience though .If I could say one thing I hope you take constructivly. Spend more time on diagnostic stuff will save you shit loads .Also at that price range you don't have to hand over a new car .Small cheap cars tend to reward better .An 06 Peugeot you pic up for £300 and fix a few bit and mot gets you almost the same profit as the £1000 on this thing if all had gone well .Also a fraction of risk .Good luck great video and very honest .
@@blairarcher8952 cheers man definitely some really good advice in there but gotta keep it interesting for the videos too!
Thoroughly enjoying your videos Josh, good work. Apart from the fixes, I particularly like to see your relationship with Dad and friends. I'm not a flipper but have made a few £ on old Porsches. (In 2016) I bought a 928 for £3.6, sold for £6k 9 months later with no investment. Also in 2016 I bought a red 944 for £500 that had been sitting on a driveway for 7years, totally green. Washed it and polished it (faded red paint), changed the timing belt & ECU, but never got it started. Spent about £150, sold the car for £1300. Looking forward to more content
Thanks for the comment mate! I’m really lucky to have such good relationships with my dad and mates I’m glad it comes across! I’d love an old Porsche 😍🤣
not many uk car flipper youtube channels, you have potential 👍
Thanks man! future on RUclips hopefully
Great to see another video, and to see you posting losses so we can see it’s not all wins! Congrats on 10k too🎉
My guy thanks again for the support broski !
pocket money was lost but lessons have been learnt! glad to see your channel growing rapid mate, well deserved! I can't remember when I subbed but it was definitely when you were either just under or just over 1k subs!
Haha my guy thanks for subbing so early on! Appreciate the kind words
Touregs are definitely money pits, but a great learning curve 🙂
Wow watching this in 2024, and you have 20k+ subs and to think when you made this video you only had 1000 subs. Great content mate, subscribed ✅
Auyyy thank you man! Glad people are still enjoying it! Appreciate the sub, some big videos coming next
Great video, it’s a massive skill set you have, mechanics, detailing, filming, editing etc, loved watching this, can’t win them all but the content created off this car was with the £2.50 loss 😂 looking forward to the next one! 👍🏼
Hahaha thanks man it’s been a long time getting to this point for sure! Hope you enjoy the future content, next vid is going to be a banger!
Great video and lots of lessons learnt here! Josh is a great presenter; skilled and sincere, I really wanted him to win out with this car! Keep up the great work :)
Thank you bro I really appreciate the kind words!!! Hopefully the next one will have some better results
honestly I love cars I don't know that much about them but I want to start learning on how they work and stuff like that
This channel is about to take off and I'm glad to be here for the ride!
Haha my guy thanks mate it would be amazing if it did but enjoying the ride
Josh… Just come across your channel, fair play to ya fella, ive been flippin cars for years and only as a hobby and id love to do videos like this but alas a scraggy looking old git with a warped sense of humour would not make for a great face/persona to front it plus ive no idea how to make one!
i love the fact that you actually show the ups and downs and frustration that goes into doing this. The sale, when it comes and the new owner drives off happy with you knowing you have done your best to make that car as good as can be is also part and parcel if why we do what we do…. Remember, if its £1 or £1000 a profit is a profit.
Solid work chap and ill follow with interest.
Thanks o much for the comment man it really means a lot, never a bad time to start you don’t have to be young! It’s enjoyable seeing a car go from bad state to good ready to be enjoyed by a new owner! Hope you enjoy my other videos and more to come!!!
Been subscribed for a bit and want to say keep up the good work! ❤
Message me on instagram buddy
Like the interior cleaning montage. Need to get myself a wet vac!
So satisfying!!
Yes lad. Do not stop making videos!
Haha cheers man I won’t!!
Great video and practical tips on getting the car back on the road. You have learned value lessons on car flipping and would have been the best £2.48 you’ve lost.
Don’t worry Josh. Thanks for letting us know.Take as much time as you need. Your help and wellbeing always come first.
Thanks man really appreciate it! Definitely valuable lessons for sure onwards and upwards!!
You need a carbide drill bit for drilling out big studs
Yeah I did eventually
Great video some times its like this that was a nitemare car from the start, sounds like whats going on with my latest purchase 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thanks mate not always winners!
Once again lad you’ve made a smashing video! Buzzing to see what’s next
My guyyyy
Great video bro really enjoyed it and well done for not giving up, keep up the great content ❤
Thanks man reall appreciate it hopefully next one goes a bit better
It’s something we can never expect when flipping cars 🚗 always expect the unexpected, but we all learn as we go.

You've won a Black Teng Cap!
I had one of those - worst car I ever had. It was so poorly built. For instance, the plastic headlight adjusters both broke when I tried to use them. The local VW garage refusing to service it because "they don't do cars older than 12 years" should have given me a clue. They knew how crap it was. The driveshaft was loose (which apparently is a common problem - and it had already been replaced by the previous owner) which meant you couldn't go faster than 83 km/h
@@willemm 😂😂😂 awful awful cars
If you used warm water with snow foam it works much better
man its refreshing watching your vids keep it up
Ay Thankyou man glad it’s something a bit different!
That wasn't a farmers car! It was a Pikeys car! I'm so sorry you got mugged off but you've done such a great job on the car 🙏🏽
😂😂😂 hit the nail on the head there, it happens! Just hoping the next one turns out better!
Great 👍 video as always mate, well done on getting it looking so good keep up the stunning work ❤
Thanks man mean a lot can’t wait to get the next one up
I want to start doing this sort of car repairing and selling hustle myself soon. Just passed my drivers test recently so it will be happening soon haha
Hey congrats man get on it!
well I thought I'd try it to just bought a Saab 93 250hp but might keep that car instead of my other car now 😂
Love watching videos like this. Great content
Thanks Michael! Really glad it’s being enjoyed more content to come!

Count me in as one of your new subscribers!
Ayyy thanks for the kind words and the sub man!!!
Hey josh how come you don’t post so much I so excited for the next video but I so happy you hit 12k subs 🎉 wow next goal 20k subs
Hey man! I work a lot and also these flipping videos take so long to post because I have to do the work and wait for the car to sell which can take months! But I’d like to post more if I could afford to flip multiple cars at once! Thanks for viewing
Love the commitment and content
My guy ❤️
@@Josh.Sanderson its a refreshing feeling seeing old cars be revived as opposed to throwing them away for minor issues. I do similar myself and its inspiring :) great work honestly
Well done mate just subd myself. Good honest videos which is all most of us really want. Atb from Ironbridge Shropshire
Ayyyy thank you man I really appreciate every sub ❤️ hope you enjoy the future videos of me not knowing Wtf I’m doing to cars 😂
Amazing video, you remind me of myself. I love working on cars
Thanks man!!! Such good therapy
One of those things mate, you win some you lose some. You will get others where you find an easy fix or earn silly money on. Keep at it! Great video 👍
Totaly agree 😁
I bloody hope so hahaha need to make some money back! Thanks for watching
@@Josh.Sanderson them big 4x4 are going for little money now due to the cost of everything. Get on some cheap quick flips, the amount of poorly advertised cars on marketplace etc. you can have a day on the spanners and detailing and flip a decent profit.
@@shaunwright6403 looking for the next right car, you definitely hit the nail on the head with cheaper efficient smaller cars being all the demand atm
Glad I've come across your channel, great watch. Unlucky to see about the loss on profits but s*** happens, and we learn! Can't wait for the next vid man. 🤪
Totaly agree 👍👍👍
Thankyou mate! Yeah hoping the next one makes up for it! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Like the way you show the problems and how to solve them.
Thanks man glad you enjoyed
good watch that lad, subbed and looking forward to future content
👍👍👍
Ay thanks man appreciate it
Glad I found your channel! So honest and great content too!
Thanks man really appreciate it!!
Really loving the content can’t wait for more videos to come. Able to learn, wanting to start buying and selling cars but not sure where to start :)
Glad you’re enjoying man!!! Deffo start as cheap as you can to avoid losing too much money worst case
a true warrior, better luck next time big dawgie
My guyyyyyy
Enjoying the videos, nice to see the journey 👏
Thanks man! More to come!
Amazing channel mate , well done 👏
Thanks bud really appreciate it 👊❤️
Nice honest look at flipping cars. Keep up the good work
Thanks man!
Message me on instagram mate, You've won a Teng Bag! Congratulations 🎉 🎉
Loving the videos. Well done getting through that MOT!
Thanks man, this was definitely a struggle
More content please great balance of car prepping and mechanical work 👍
Keeping it coming as fast as I can!
Busted, defective, inoperable, items can be serviced, replaced, as well as maintained, as long as the expertise in maintenance are applied, the individual can always RESTORE, RESURRECT, REPAIR the ITEMS that was also REFUSED, NEGLECTED by other Repairers, it takes SKILLS to MAINTAIN and PRESERVE details, giving it a Different look or perspective once completed. ******IMPORTANT********Thank you.
Do hope you have less issues with the next one 😂 only issue with older cars is standard rust! Plus v-dub electrics
Underrated Channel
Thanks max!
Good and honest video. Subscribed.
My guy Thankyou! Enjoy the future videos
Well done young man . Keep up the good work
Thank you mate!!!
Great stuff Josh and thanks for being so honest about your experience with the Touareg, some great tips as well.
Thanks for the kind words mate! Shame this one didn’t pay off but you live and learn!
I used to use copper grease on brake parts but no longer. It soaks up brake dust and turns to sticky tar over time. I now use proper heat resistant brake grease. Watch out for slider pins with rubber on them. Copper grease will make these swell and stick badly. I found out the hard way!
Haha yeah I learnt this the hard way aswell but more knowledge for the next one!
Tip for anyone flipping cars: Sometimes you win sometimes you lose, But learn from your losses!
Making money flipping cars is a slow process. You need stay cool no matter if you make a big profit or loss.
Just as long as you make a profit on average.
Just happened to stumble across this channel. Love it mate. 👍👍
Thanks for clicking on the video! Glad you enjoyed!
Best wheel cleaner by far is bolt and hamber and a bonus is it’s a British company
wow idk why only 9.8k follower your content is awesome!!!
Thank you so much! Trying to hit 50k before December!
The car has common vw faults like sensors springs and brakes. The more electronics the worse it gets.
Really cool to watch looking out for new uploads
More coming!!!
Love to get into car flipping, love watching your vids I am learning a lot
Thanks man more to come for sure!
Top video as always, keep em coming!

@@Josh.Sanderson Ill be watching very closely mate 👌📈
Onwards and upwards, goes to show not easy as it seems flipping cars nevertheless awesome content can’t wait to see what you get next
Cheers man deffo one of those things that seems easy as not many people post losses on here as they don’t tend to get views. Sneak peak for you might be getting a Mini Cooper S next
That solder joint was a total bodge, I hope you did something to fix it afterwards... It is in a terrible place and the odds of it snapping again are not slim.

Well done for posting your failure too. This makes your channel believable and trustworthy. You did forget to include your labour costs which are substantial. But hopefully monetisation will help. Good luck!

Great video mate
