Just wanted too thank you for the awesome content and helpful advice. Pulled the trigger on an A5 3.0 tdi 14 plate last week after using vehicle score and brushing up on knowledge from your channel . Very happy with the purchase 👍🏼

LOVE your auction view 22mins onwards - same here! 20+ yrs ago at Manheim Colchester - coming home with a sore throat from the fumes and often than not, something dodgy just to get me home when my stuff sold! Oh the days! :-)

G3 come across as very professional, and I love the innovation witht their 360 inside cams, their exterior cam seems to have a bit of a bug where you cant rotate it though, but i'm sure they'll fix it, the other auctions have a got a new standard to catch up to i think. Great vid Joe as usual - Gistus Motors

You did the right thing with the Evoque . Manuals are not popular and are often for the lower powered 2wd version. As a 2015 it is unlikely to meet the Euro 6 emissions which it why it may be in the auction. Insurance is up c. £1000 to due to theft issues.

Looks like a nice snazzy place, shoutout to that man who noticed noticed not just you but Toby lol. Looked like a good vibe, I grew up not too far from there, people generally warmer/nicer up north vs London/home counties imo.

Great video 👍If bought at the right price and has a good margin then buy it simple works for apples diamond's etc😅

Bought maybe around 10 cars over the years from car Auctions and everyone has been half decent certainly no problems. Ive had cars from BCA at Brighouse several Manheim Leeds and Knottingley. Years ago BCA seemed to have better quality cars its time BCA opened all sites upto the public.

I'm here, because I've read through the reviews for copart and have been spooked off enough not to venture in that direction. This coming year I want to get actively involved with the auctions, now is research time.

Joe, I have been with you from when you had around 1k subs. I love how you do business but you had better be careful or you will give used car dealers a good name. Love the channel. Shame I am all the way up in Scotland as I would not hesitate to buy a car from you.

Struggling to understand why this is a surprise. 3 years of restricted supply. 2 years of surplus cash, low inflation and 15 years of low interest rates. Perfect storm. Now we have supply, high inflation, high rates and no cash. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

@@topfuelteddy I ended up trading it in for £5.5. Only had 2 other people make contact after trading wanting to buy. I’ve used a clio as runabout since 2005, and had them in the family since 1996. I’ve driven every shape and while they’re definitely less troublesome nowadays (the older ones did have various electrical gremlins, fly wheel sensors on the Mk2 for example). The newer ones have unfortunately lost the charm they once had. They were light weight and even the base models cornered very well. The mk2 probably being the best. Gradually they got heavier and started using much cheaper shock absorbers, which really affected the handling on country lanes.
