Should have stuck that one away, they are going through the roof for a good non molested example. You wont be able to find one for less than £20k in a couple of years.
I think Calvin should get like a car series on Dave or something like Yanni did would be cool to get a real insight into how your business runs Calv. Keep it up hopefully 2022 is a good year for you in all aspects. ❤️✌🏽
@@CalvinsCarDiary would love to see it man maybe in the future it would come to fruition and I would still I’ve to watch it. It’s great to have this opportunity to interact with you Calvin but you one of favourite youtubers, such a genuine family guy. Would love to meet you one time.
No way Calvin, keep doing your thing bro, I love it. You can do and say what you want (within reason). I think you seem to be happy and always so positive. If you go mainstream you'll be stressed, censored and told what to say n do!! Keep up the great work man, you're an inspiration. From a fairly new sub, respect ✌❤👊
Being the owner of same car, year and colour glad to see prices on the up, all late 2005 and 2006 are premier edition, future classic for sure, naturally aspirated engine,197bhp, unique gear lever position and VTEC yo.
A had a 03 reg 5 years back with 180000 miles on it and for 3 years all it asked for was a service a year and fuel. This car has plenty of happy years for the new owner👍
I'm a car dealer and have 70-80 cars in stock and solely use BCA for purchasing. You are correct it is a risk, however there is some protection in that we always buy vehicles that are "BCA assured" meaning any major issues are covered by the assurance. We also always make sure that if we are buying a vehicle that is older and doesn't have the assurance that there is enough margin in the car should anything major need sorting.
Glad you seemed to like the higher seat height as it's how all 70's motors rolled , you could see the bonnet and out of the windows 😂 Modern cars seem to lean towards sitting in a cockpit and unable to see over the dash , relying on parking sensors and cameras etc , etc Great vid mate and sorry you're losing out on 3 of the 4......stick to tried and tested in future 👍
It has gone mad. - I was recently after a low mileage fully serviced Second generation Honda CRV. Eventually i got an 05 CRV 90k on clock full Honda service history 2 owners...but paid well over the odds for my pick. Well what is they say? A car is worth what someone is willing to pay. I wanted a second gen CRV as a second vehicle to my type R. Cracking little mule the CRV is 💪. Bloody juicy mind. But I can live with that.
awesome video cal love the type R, it is very risky buying from auction, however it is not the car that is bad it is the auction providers as they dont put any details of the car which makes it harder for us that buy crash damaged cars to sell. ( disclaimer buying cars from auction can be very risky)
Hey Calvin. Big fan here. Have been waiting for a Premier, low mileage in good condition. Maybe we can do a deal on this car if its not already gone. Keep up with the videos. They are great.
Hi Calvin love watching your videos great content you come across as very positive and upbeat and demonstrate the highs and lows in your trade which makes this channel so interesting to view so can only say wish you even more luck I look forward to watching your success in the future
I remember driving out of there with a 207cc, rather than put in on the back of the van I decided to drive it, about ten minutes down the road the thing went in to limp mode. The thing looked immaculate. Never will I ever trust an auction again.
Hi Calvin you do a great job with your videos. When you buy a car do you ever check the oil levels before you take your revs up too 7 or 8000 rpm. I bought a car once and I did 2 miles and engine seized it had no oil in it. It took 4 months and the local newspaper to get all my money back. So I should recommend you just do that 2 minute job before you drive your nice car's!!
Good days work and the throw of the dice absolutely worked, really nice car never knew there was a Premier Edition so really good content once again for us 👍
Hey Calvin any chance of doing a video on cars that might go up in the future or cars that are going up in value now? Then give us some advice what you would buy and put away to hopefully make some money? Great show it’s looking Quality with Cinematics and the pictures and just generally a good quality video ITV quality 😂👊🏽👏🏾🥂 keep it rolling!
Been following you for around 3 years now Calvin. You are such a inspiration. Would you recommend joining the car trade in this current climate. I all ready run a business but fancy flipping cars on the side as that is my passion.
I'm sorry but you were unhappy of buying an essential from the auction which only indicates if it starts and if brake works. On the other hand an assured which is 63 plate onwards will be notified on the mechanical issues if there is any
great car, i wonder how low these cars went in price before they became a collectable classic and went up again, i reckon you could have picked one up for less than 2k at one point, cars can be a good investment if you pick the right car 👍
Anyone can buy but having a trade account with BCA makes things cheaper I believe. They do a condition report with basic things like the windows work. If there are any really obvious things like its pouring out smoke or a terrible engine noise then they'll list it but you can get them easily with broken gearboxes or turbos gone and they wont say anything and aren't returnable. Buying privately is much safer.

Should have bought my ep3 running 500whp.......... no reply to my email 😪
What did it sell for ? @calivin’s car diary
Should have stuck that one away, they are going through the roof for a good non molested example. You wont be able to find one for less than £20k in a couple of years.
@@Just_Boris apologies mate I didn’t see your email. If you’ve not sold it yet feel free to send the email again and I’ll get back to you tomorrow 👍
@@CalvinsCarDiary What did it go for mate? £12k?!
I think Calvin should get like a car series on Dave or something like Yanni did would be cool to get a real insight into how your business runs Calv. Keep it up hopefully 2022 is a good year for you in all aspects. ❤️✌🏽
If I could have anything right now it would be that. I’d love to do something like that.
Thanks mate 🙏🏼

Calvin. Could you do a quick video on the other 3 auction cars giving us the price paid and their issues please. Call it bangers of the week 😅
Yes Agree with you
A had a 03 reg 5 years back with 180000 miles on it and for 3 years all it asked for was a service a year and fuel. This car has plenty of happy years for the new owner👍
Cracking find! 06 plate as well! The last year they were produced/released 🙌🏼
considering the age of the car as well as how people rag CTRs... the condition is remarkable
Really nice example 👌

£11k for this car is mad. I thought it would be half. WOW
Love ep3. There just going up n value all the time. Keep up the gd wrk Calvin

“As a rule we never buy auction cars that are unseen” --- I’ve heard every single car youtuber say that and done the opposite at least once lmao.
They are full of BS that’s why
I had no idea these were worth that much, fingers crossed you do well out of it calvin 👍🏻
2nd hand car market has gone mad since covid
It has gone mad. - I was recently after a low mileage fully serviced Second generation Honda CRV. Eventually i got an 05 CRV 90k on clock full Honda service history 2 owners...but paid well over the odds for my pick. Well what is they say? A car is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Yeah second hand market is crazy these days, madness
Selling my EP3 was the biggest mistake I’ve made (2012)… even more than getting married, if I could live with a smaller car I’d buy one tomorrow
awesome video cal love the type R, it is very risky buying from auction, however it is not the car that is bad it is the auction providers as they dont put any details of the car which makes it harder for us that buy crash damaged cars to sell.

Keep up with the videos. They are great.
Ep3 premiers with low miles and stock are very rare and values will rise plus they look bloody lovey
Hi Calvin love watching your videos great content you come across as very positive and upbeat and demonstrate the highs and lows in your trade which makes this channel so interesting to view so can only say wish you even more luck I look forward to watching your success in the future
Deffo should have your own show Calvin love watching your reviews mate 👍
Love the recaros you get with the premier edition.
love that trade mark door shut music mute . great video as always
Wow that’s in awesome condition it looks a bloody nice car 😁 it’s crazy how the prices of older hot hatches have gone so high lately 🥴
Like that shape type r calvin,great video as always 👍🏼
You’d be surprised with the brilliant finds you can pick up at BCA sometimes! Good luck with the sale 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I remember driving out of there with a 207cc, rather than put in on the back of the van I decided to drive it, about ten minutes down the road the thing went in to limp mode. The thing looked immaculate. Never will I ever trust an auction again.
And the mass amounts of shit they have there also. See so many cars leaving on trailers.
That’s a keeper that Calv! Beautiful condition 👌
I used to own this car in 2012 when it had 29k miles on it 😄 I sold it for £6400
Should visit Leigh on sea. Right near Southend but bit more classy 😂 nice pubs on the sea front. Hopefully it was garaged say right by the sea
Hi Calvin you do a great job with your videos. When you buy a car do you ever check the oil levels before you take your revs up too 7 or 8000 rpm.

Proper minted ep3, good luck with buying more stock! 🤙🏻
Nice to see you finally got rid of the orange RAC/halfords intro logo calvin. Long time viewer. So glad to see you evolve
Good days work and the throw of the dice absolutely worked, really nice car never knew there was a Premier Edition so really good content once again for us 👍
*Unseen from auction I did this a few times and got stung never again for me but for Calvin he can get away with it* 🤣🤣
Hey Calvin any chance of doing a video on cars that might go up in the future or cars that are going up in value now? Then give us some advice what you would buy and put away to hopefully make some money? Great show it’s looking Quality with Cinematics and the pictures and just generally a good quality video ITV quality 😂👊🏽👏🏾🥂 keep it rolling!
I’m desperate to own a Type R one day. Lovely car
Nice little Motor m8 - Quality buy 👌
Prem editions also have embossed type r front calipers and they never came with Prem edition on logbook lovely motor calv 🙏👍
Do well on that one calvin shame the others were bogus. But nice little gem ..and on the bright side ya had a good week 👍
Love low mileage whips.
Had to show you this Calvin
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Love the Type R
Leigh on sea is a few miles from Southend in Essex just to let you know 😁
That’s crazy I live in Leigh 😂 nice looking car
I do love the ep3 the new CTR looks like it was designed by a 12 yr old on etchascetch
Been following you for around 3 years now Calvin. You are such a inspiration. Would you recommend joining the car trade in this current climate. I all ready run a business but fancy flipping cars on the side as that is my passion.
You will only find out if you try it .Can start in a small way ,but keep your day job lol
Can’t believe it’s worth that much! Looks like a winner though 👍🏼
Dam that Honda worth some money been looked after. 50,212 miles not bad with it only failed on light MOT history amazing 😮. Tax a big high.
I'm sorry but you were unhappy of buying an essential from the auction which only indicates if it starts and if brake works. On the other hand an assured which is 63 plate onwards will be notified on the mechanical issues if there is any
If it’s a premier edition it should also have type r embossed on the callipers👌
Auctions can be a bit dodgy but I suppose you’ve got to crack a few rocks to find a diamond great footage again Calv love the vids
Seems folk on youtube and with bags of cash buy cars unseen but dont worry seeing as youtube covers the cost
My dad has had 6 ep3 and 2 prem I hope you liked it
Who is spending 11 grand on an ep3, wtf are car prices these days 😂
Plenty of folk actually. Luckily bought mine when they were bottomed out in prices
They're rare and unique cars now. All modern hatches are generic and these have great tuning potential n/a or boosted
Consumerism at it's finest pal 🤣 this piece of rock I have with gold leaf should be worth 10k to someone right....
Vtec are so much fun
Would love to see a video of calvin in llf nissan gtr in the passage seat on a drag strip that would be funny. 😂😂
great car, i wonder how low these cars went in price before they became a collectable classic and went up again, i reckon you could have picked one up for less than 2k at one point, cars can be a good investment if you pick the right car 👍
Picked mine up for 2.5k in 2016....
I genuinely thought it would be worth half that. What do I know😂. A cracking hot hatch that's clearly becoming more desirable with age.
Souch more fun and reliable then the old German barges.Ill buy it Calvin.
I used to work up there and the amount of rodent damage rabbits under the undertrays mice in the cars wires chewed wires pipes the list goes on
Serprized you went to B C A as We buy any car and Cazoo clear all there unwanted cars there part of the same group with Cinch as well.
Wow these have gone up in value I bought one a while ago granted £3k with 62k.Always wanted a premier edition
Cracking car pal 👍🏻
Ayyy new intro niceeeee
Being a Honda civic I have great hope in this one being a good deal
Quality motor bud 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video again bud. Iv just entered in the prize draw.
Wassup calv!!!!
To prove its a prem put the chassis number into Honda-Parts
Do a video on the broken cars? Getting a lot of crap coming through BCA at the moment. Never been this bad ever since I started trading 14 years ago.
Nice car that, it’s one we sold in 2020.
Calvin it was like advert for BCA, lol
Nice motor that
7 stamps in 14 years I’d want it serviced ever year to be a good service history
Can’t really go wrong with a type r ep3 or fn2
What did happen with the fn2 with smoke 🙈
7 years time they will be a 20k car mark my words
How much was the civic type r ?
Great cars
Not me 🤣
Me personally don’t like the type r but it does look in good condition .
Very nice car bro
I paid 11k for a MK7 GTI with similar mileage just last year. Prices are insane rn 🤕
What we're the other 3 cars?
I cannot believe the price of them these days
Did you make a decent profit?
amazing car
There not fetching 10k. Personally think 8.8k you might of over paid for that. You can pick up turbo converted ones with 90/100k for 10k. Dc5 money
Can anyone buy from an auction and is there any recourse if it's a non starter/big issues not advertised?
Anyone can buy but having a trade account with BCA makes things cheaper I believe. They do a condition report with basic things like the windows work. If there are any really obvious things like its pouring out smoke or a terrible engine noise then they'll list it but you can get them easily with broken gearboxes or turbos gone and they wont say anything and aren't returnable. Buying privately is much safer.
I’m a trader BCA Thurleigh is a proper lottery - lots of nails!
For 11k you are better of getting a jdm one for cheaper 😂😂 or even an integra dc5
Beauty
Jeez that's a lot of money for an 06 reg car. They're holding silly money.
Great content and advert for Honda👍🏿 not so great for BCA.. 😂..
Bought a low mileage bmw from auction, nothing but problems! AVOID AUCTIONS
Not sure if someone has hacked or copied your insta I'm already a member but received a message saying I won some air pods and if I send proof I'm a member I'll receive my prize
I wouldn't buy any car without seeing it and a test drive first far too risky.
Just call it a typer, much easier, like typist lol
Vlogger passes on the chance of filming some cinamatics at the pump? Really?
have you ever been stung buying a honda?
ONIT !
11k get you a jdm type r or a boosted type r prems are max 6 7k
I’ll have it if it was a mistake lol
👍
