Some of the trade prices quoted are mental. £11k on that 12 year old Audi A5 that went through... People have lost their minds to pay that.
RS5 very desirable Audi, easy 15k retail
I'll never understand why people get hard ons about lowish mileages on old cars .... it means your just about to fork out for loads of stuff about to go wrong . It also means these cars are city drivers ,stop start, cold oil and down to the shops and back once a week,far worse than a higher mileage motorway cars.
140,000 is a far safer mileage than 90,000.
im loving the auction collaborations so so much
Glad you enjoy
Chops you definitely got the best car of the day , I wouldn’t touch that mini or Audi , they will have nothing but expensive after sales problems with them
Cheers
Wow! Audi A5 vs. Hyundai i20? Who won the auction? Great finds! Looking forward to more! 👍
Gone downhill. Be very careful, I bought several cars with misgraded reports and some that required gearbox repairs and even a full engine replacement, despite the assured reports claiming they were perfect and had no faults. It's hit or miss, but I wouldn't recommend it as its too risky. You're probably better off going to Aston Barclay around the corner or just standard BCA
Good man James small and easy to run is the way to go in this current climate 👍
Absolutely
Go big, or go home.
You should have filled a transporter James & bought everything you knew was cheap.
All is not lost though, you can always go back
Hindsight 20 20 hey
It's called testing the water before you dive in. Plus he has plenty of stock anyway 😅
Comments like I wouldn’t do the advisers on the MOT by that other guy isn’t going to do the rep of car sales guys any favours I like the fact you always repair them no expense spared
Don’t dismiss Dave that easy, he has been in the trade a long time and his channel has some excellent content. Reality is with higher volume you need to be a lot more efficient with time.
Good to meet you at Rustival James, keep up the good work!
Cheers for saying hi!
Thank you for the content Mr Chops
Love the videos, I wish you had brought the merviva and maybe the focus. We need more challenges from you 3 and guest appearances from other dealers on RUclips. I do have some ideas for challenges to be added if there are future videos. I think you all did great tbh.
Really enjoyed this auction content, fun to see this going on still
Glad you enjoyed it
there were some right bargains at that auction,it's good when you can befriend a auction worker like i have!
You did really well, keeping it Billy basic, your mate loves risky lumpy stuff and Daves mini is risky either petrol or diesel.
Cheers mate
Awesome video 👌 Super 🆒️ 👌and very enjoyable ❤ Thank you for taking time and sharing with us the auction hammer prices 🔨 we got great idea about the auction life👍Great stuff 👏 👍 👌 🙌.
Many thanks
I think you’ve made the smarter purchases, definitely 👍🏻
Cheers
Cheers
Hello James, what an interesting video and educational too, seeing those cars going through at such affordable prices - though wonder if they had any faults? Considering I brought my VW Tiguan for £12 thousand from a dealership some 5 years ago, I could have had some fun there!! I do think that having someone who (like yourself) that is in the motor retail / trade with engineering knowledge is a must! Good to see and hear that you are pleased with your purchase. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
To be honest John I am chancing my arm each time just hope to get it right
The nissan note if its of help, drove lovely through the auction 😉 nice to meet you.
Hi buddy!! It was good to meet you thanks for the tips
Great content as usual from you James my daughter is having a nightmare at the moment she purchased a Focus ecoboom is July over heated with in 1 day of ownership garage had it 3 weeks and fair play spent a lot to fix it then 2 days later overheating again so she had a full refund great but the garage must of just parked it in a corner and fix it when they had time makes sense but the problem is they never put it back into trade and kept it in her name now the DVLA are chasing her for no insurance absolute nightmare having to prove dates and time scales still waiting on the courts now have you heard of this before thanks Nick
Enjoyed this very much
Can you get insurance for Land Rovers these days ?
In the south west, we get stitched up on prices at the auctions. Same cars in the rest of the country go for soooooo much less. I watch bca all the time and think I’m gonna get a good price but as soon as it gets to Bristol or Bridgwater, the prices rocket, plus there is so little choice.
Think it's the low volume and transport
Interesting to see the prices the cars were going for - remains to be seen if this will be the trend from now on. Think your i20 was the safest bet - assume there were auction fees on top but should be a decent profit - can you add the auction fee as part of the price paid for VAT purposes?
This man is top class and so are the videos and info he puts up thank you
Much appreciated!
Enjoyed it - really good content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hopefully prices have readjusted to normal levels
That auction sold my dads old car when the owner after him sold it at auction the car was a 2012 Audi a4 se tecnic my dad has one a 2014 plate Manuel gearbox sline trim
Great video keep it up
I've got one of thoss E12 Nissan Note's with a 1.5 Diesel. its never given me any bother, proper reliable. If it squeaks going over a speed bump, then spray some lube on the bushings, they all seem to do it as they go in dry from factory. Once sprayed the noise goes away.
Cheers for tip
As usual, really enjoyed watching.
Thanks Chris
You mentioned the Euro car parts vans, have you seen the state of the Amazon vans on the road. Truly shocking condition, nearly every panel smashed on them.
They are independent aren't they, well at least in my area
Great collaboration between you all.
Nice to see some banter 😊
Plus as much as I love an Audi with a DSG! I’ve seen to many DSG’s go completely wrong. And at great cost.
So I’d have the Hyundai i20, purely on the basis of reliability.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you seen the way they drive those vans? I was sitting in traffic with a mate as passenger I was telling him how they drive like idiots and the van swung out of the garage on the left across both lanes of the dual carriageway over the grassed central reservation and across to the road on the other side... Seems 100 yards of traffic and a roundabout was just too much to sit in for the van driver.
Another good video James 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
cannot believe the fees and transport can add 500-600 easily! You think you have a bargain, but a 2800 car easily becomes 3500 😞
BCA you can add another 300
So those vans would be £3000 plus😊 vat before you have worked out that they are all shagged
@@999hireactionvehicles9 yes or you go buy one at £6495 plus vat that's prepped. There is no cheat in buying cars , you buy cheap take a chance or buy high with no risk. No one's giving away perfect cars.
Great video bud, you'll find it hard to pay the prices over at your area now, need a transporter and maybe a couple of drivers.
Defo already planning
@@ChopsGarage I'll put you up bud if you come over, not far away, I bet you'll be a grand per car cheaper on your usual stock, maybe more, plus you can view.
@@roystonvehicles9129 cheers mate be good crack
@@ChopsGarage yes, bud, just let me know.
Why buy a £20,000 car with advisory's still on the mot - says a lot but not in a good way about the guy selling them. Where as you do advisory free mot on your cars.
I think they leave as point of negotiation
Great stuff mate my favourite you tube channels
Many thanks
its the opposite in ireland ,used cars and vans are gone completely off the scales with 4 and 5 year old vans making more than they where originally purchased for,I kid you not!
Nice car should do well there
Love these collab challenge videos. 3 out of 4 of the dealer channels I watch. I would love to see Vision Prestige get involved in this, and I'm 4 for 4 😂
Oh that's new one I'll check it out
"All loaded up" with waste oil?
Brilliant to see you at Rustival 👍 why didn't you take your Dacia Ruster 😁 I took mine 😂
Imagine grief I'd get for driving on trade plates lol
Nice little I20 you got yourself there.
Cheers
Wow so Joe was middle of the road in my expectation and then when he looked after the couple that had the crash he went right up high but then hearing he wouldn't take you back to you're car he's gone right to the bottom now booooooo joe😂
Wanted to see what the mondeo went for
Canny reg on the Dacia Duster, looks like SHI### 😆
I had a Hyundai I20 1.4 diesel great little car very economical 60+ mpg
Good choice!
Time to buy a double car trailer for Range Rover, at these prices christ
You bought well 👍
Cheers
Bloody hell, that A5 looks good doesn't it! 😄
Lol, I make it look good
Hi James , think you got safest bet with the Hyundai , I agree with you it’s a pity you didn’t pick up a few more cars obviously at the right price to reduce price of delivery or maybe cover it off completely , just thinking would it not be easier to get a train so that you don’t have to keep picking up the car you set off in , sorry I don’t know the logistics of how easy that is for you , anyway love the channel keep up the good stuff , it’s a thumbs up from me 👍🏻
Many thanks mate much appreciated
You can go by train in 5 hours to Wakefield bud, I could pick you up from Wakefield, then go to the auction, but whatever you do it's a massive task. If you go on Shipley transport site you may get a cheap price, I use a local guy and he would deffo deliver to you, but probably be 350 maybe more.
Hyundai is best buy imo it’s genuinely retailable.
Why are these Dacia's almost always Scottish registered?
Great 👍. Is G3 trade only?
No
Well if car auction have crashed, it isnt filtering down to the second hand car market, im still seeing 12 year old cars with 150 - 200k on them for over £4k, couple of years ago you would have sold them for a few hundred quid or would have gone to the scrapyard
The UK needs food, cars are a luxury. And very few of the 15 year old cars are 'classics' so the continent isn't likely to buy.
Chops do you have a discount code for that topdon?
Mini / Audi or Hyundai for reliability . Chops wins
Lol
Certainly think you got the best deal, however they got the deal on pasties if from Sanford’s bakery.
No from butchers in South Molton
@@ChopsGarage Can’t say I’ve tried, but Sanford’s certainly good, many a good pasty in North Devon.
The duster number plate. Shit lol.
If your doing chats etc, get closeenough so we can hear what there saying
Can't see anything cheap here those Euros vans are absolutely knackered
Why are they knackered? No rattle on start up, clutch good, no smoke and service histories plus of course corporate manslaughter law means they have to be maintained as safe. Big assumption you are making
@@ChopsGarage not an assumption I used to repair these for Euros they are driven to death
@@999hireactionvehicles9 kinda my point though, you were repairing them
Only the minimum to keep them going they spend no money on them
@@999hireactionvehicles9 tbf most consumers we get cars from run them the same way
Just a quick question do Vauxhall Meriva B 1.4 autos sell well ? Your videos are very interesting
Shifting metal guy is a proper tyre kicker at auctions - goes to film useless footage without any significant spend. In the trade we call people like him tyre kicker traders
Pretty sure you were the sensible buyer there. No doubt the others will find suckers but suckers do not come to you as they want a straight deal.
Cheers!
Audi a5 from blue car finance. What could go wrong 😂
That's going to have a sketchy history 😂😂😂
If its a repo I usually find there rubbish, usually stopped paying due to some nasty fault, at best if they can't keep up payments they'll not have paid for servicing or repairs, very risky purchase.
James how much was the transportation
Don't know yet Joe's sorting
The Hyundai definitely the best buy of the auction the Dacia’s number plate even said what it was lol 💩
New subscriber. Sunshine Coast,BC, Canada. Found you through Shifting metal. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Welcome and thank you!
Dacia....flat front nearside tyre?
Yeah they did not pump any up surprisingly
Applied for a trade account at G3, they want a £500 bond if you trade from home, when questioned they could give no logical answer as to why 😮
Don't know why they would dodge it, Ive always had to leave deposits on personal auctions prior to being dealer. Its standard procedure I guess to protect against people timewasting and bailing on a bid
I supplied G3 my trade insurance as requested. I have trade accounts with both BCA & Aston Barclay , neither asked me for any upfront money (Aston Barclay had a £54 joining fee). The lady at G3 said it was because I didn’t have trade premises. I’m starting to trade cars from home ( I have room for 6-8 cars ) , I’m unable to work from trade premises as I am a full time carer for my mother who has been diagnosed with dementia so I needed to find something I could do from home to fit in with caring for her.. Love your channel by the way 🤗
@@richarddriscoll5201 thanks bud much appreciated!
i know that guy he has a channel on YT
My money is on you James 😊
best to stock up when cheap you never know when they suddenly go up again
True
I think out of three of you I yourself chops garage sesable buy
Dream team
Lol
See hard to understand what they are saying at auctions ,but now se picture behind making it easier
Its fast n furious in there
There are no bargains once dealers get hold of cars to sell, same as there's no fair trade in prices off dealers for our trade in vehicles, that's why dealers make money isn't it?
Trade your car in with it's epic extras or options from factory and most dealers just have a set book price of cars with standard options, that is unless the dealer is advertising their cars for sale they then seem to recognise options to list for the sale of there stock.
Like you never see a booky on a bike do you ?
🤣 that's because the part exs always have undeclared faults! You know you dump cars on dealers. If you want them cheap get to this auction and pay your money roll the dice! If you want me to take the risk out of it then pay my premium!
@@ChopsGarage Your wrong why are you dealing in cars if you do not have a small clue of what you buy at least a person selling a car they own understands the price they should be getting for their part ex when they may have had it over 3 years and has a small clue about it's condition and spec list,like i said bookies on bikes,most car dealers show rooms don't look in ruins and that's not aimed at all dealers but once you understand the car trade as you seem to do you won't be riding a push bike after most PX trade ins will you ?
@@teggsy2165 found that hard to follow but I can assure you I'm not wrong all I do it buy n sell part exs cars. They all have un declared faults so you bid low. And as I said if you don't like dealers making profit take the risk of buying from auction yourself. But don't ask a dealer to take the risk and then pass the car on to you at a small profit as a bargain for you
James you need to buy car trailer that you can use to pick up and drop off cars i. Might save you a lot of cash and it would be a great investment using the LR as a works tow car.
Not sure it would last lol
Thats not a RANGE…. Thats a ROVER…😂
Good they taking the pi33 for years
Interesting video, but the audio is terrible. Especially when you are trying to talk over the auctioneer.
i got one of the topdons very useful
Aren't they
Nothing wrong with DSG gearbox, best auto I have had.
When they work they are great but when they get old expensive fix
Dsg gearboxes work well when they work
But they are very complex and complex things as always have more to go wrong
My local VW / Audi specialist tells me he's repairing them very often and serving them as and when is absolutely paramount
@@boyasaka my DSG gearbox is the 7 speed one and has no scheduled maintenance (sealed for life)
@@MrTrev2507 there good for about 100k miles
Unlike a torque converter box that can do half a million with regular transmission oil changes
If they are cheap ? Why don’t you buy them ?
? Because no paint me gave me a free car transporter and unlimited bank account
Maybe Cazoo going out of the business has impacted auction prices
I guess there may be less competition
Is g3 a trader only auction?
No
No as per vid consumers can join
Maybe the farm was bought when he was in the plumbing trade? Might be more money in that than the used car game but it knackers your knees... Anything in his missus' farm stock worth buying/does she want an old Megane? Ask Dave if he wants any used Land Rovers.
inherited most likely
plug that AUDI IN Omg christmas tree .
Lol
Top tip, if you ever buy any car with a DSG gearbox, just get the car remapped and you will have zero proplems...youre welcome 👍
Interesting you would think more strain would cause more issues
@@ChopsGarage remapping doesn't necessarily cause more strain, you can decrease fuel consumption and keep the same bhp and also lose things like hill start, auto distance control and all other things that are standard on an ecu that your car may not have.
Have you any experience with servicing and repairing dsg gearboxes ?
@@boyasaka I worked for VW for 12years as a service engineer. VW never advise a remap even though they know that the ecu corrupts the DSG because the ECU is generally loaded with things that the gearbox cannot handle. Also a remap can invalidate a warrantee because most people go for a stage one which is just all about extra power. A stage 2 (blue line) remap fixes all the faults.associated with dsg failure
👌👌
Is it just me or are some of those really high mileage
I Will go with Daves, Mini to win the challenge,I love you James,but as a gambling man, my 50 pence is on him.😮
I think you could be right
_____--------wow pasties and a ride in an old fashioned steam engine 😅
Lets hope the low prices are passed on to buyers ?
Well I guess I'd say if you bought your house cheaply would you sell it cheaply or for the market value?
@ChopsGarage Not sure the same applies 🤔🤔
Well he's still got to get the 'cheap' cars back 300 miles, or should he just throw that in, most transport companies want 500 quid for that, never mind James going over there, doing like 600 miles round trip.
@roystonvehicles9129 surely he does all the time ?.. no matter what the car prices are , just my take on it .
@@bobatwell7505 he's only got the one bud, one swallow doth not a summer make.
Cheers for the ads.
Ads?
What the point of you trying to talk as the bidding continues? Can’t hear you ?
