Matt you’re obsessed with cleanliness obviously your parents did a good job bring u up. Most cars are filthy part filthy or neading a good clean. In my day we had more pride with our cars, part of the weekend was dedicated to cleaning the car. Value was more appreciated cheers Rickie

It shocks me that people are happy to spend more on trainers than quality tyres which could when needed save them. have explained this to a few younger people and the logic hits home. i think the premium car companies do not hit home with this fact.

Tyres definitely matter. Why are the two replies even debating this ? Even the compound of a tyre makes a huge difference. Driving the same car with good tyres will feel like a completely different car. It matters even more on a motorbike.

I fitted 4 new Pirelli 'powergy' tyres to my Z12 Nissan cube here in Feilding,New Zealand recently. Wow! What a immediate difference, noticeably quieter and smoother ride generally and especially over manhole covers and such like, and felt more secure on corners etc. Love my cube, love these videos and the way he treats his cars properly, therefore his customers.

Doesn’t matter unless you’re racing. Fact

As a Fiesta owner/driver, put new plates on it and fit the front one about 5mm lower than almost everyone else does, so that the lower chrome strip on the grille is not obscured to give it the full "Aston Martin" treatment. Recently replaced the (4) original Conti tyres on mine with Michelin Crossclimates and it's made a notable improvement to ride and handling

The 1.25 zetec is an absolute workhorse of an engine looked after . Know a few driving instructors who have put serious mileage on these cars with few problems including myself who took one to 170.000 miles 👊🏻love them 👌

The 1.25, 1.4 and 1.6 N/A engines are all very reliable. Other wet belt engines not so much. Can easily get 200000 miles and more in the zetec s/se/Duratec engines. They do however consume oil at a fair rate past about 100k so as long as you keep on top of that they should give you minimal issues! ❤️

i bought one of these back in 2019 its a 16 plate 1.5 tdci zetec and have still got it and i can honestly say i have never had a days trouble with it its the best car i have ever owned in all of the 50 years i have been driving i cant fault it absolutely brilliant little car

I stumbled across this channel at the start of December 23...its became a bit of a daily dose of car sales for me....😂....been on the lookout for a wee runabout / dump car etc....and found a 2008 Ford Focus with 20k...yes 20k on the clock....😊

Matt if you use a dremmil or similar to cut a groove in the screw you can use a flat blade to take plates off without snapping 😉

I watched your Rustival 24 video yesterday and subscribed to your channel too.

Love the videos Matt, keep up the great work😊

We had a 59 plate Style+ with the 1.25 duratec and was a brilliant car. Went to Kia afterwards to avoid the Eco-boom era and now have one of the last Bmax. This is a good car and was £1000 cheaper than an identical spec fiesta, probably because they tend to appeal to the National Trust card carriers.

Hello Matt, nice looking car, hope it sells fast. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

Very well spotted! It's a cracking little motor, and your updates are always helpful, just to see how the cars clean up. In this case, it looks amazing, and a good deal for whoever buys it!

Great scenic shots. 👍🏻

Cute little car with a good color! Brilliant video and work as always Matt! :D

That is a very good example, it looks even better now it’s had a little tlc. I hope you get your asking price, or near to it Matt, you and the car deserve it❤.

Truly great video as always Matt! I love watching these. They’re so good! Is this your main income stream or is it your real estate business?

Great video and nice car! Crowland is in Lincolnshire (the possible clue was in the 'Peterborough Road' on that particular service stamp).

Great job keep up the good work

Great Vid as always Matt, good to see you not over spending this year so far, long may it continue 😁😁👍👍. By they way in your budget did you change any of the tyres ?

That's a very good car. Your trusted source did you a good turn there.

Hi Matt great videos usual the fiesta looks fantastic I'll bet you've sold it already nice one cheers Phil from Newark

Good video as always, I emailed you about a ST220 but not imperial blue, moondust silver😉

Top result Matt.You can't go wrong with a Fiesta...so long as it's not an Ecoboom that is.

Great little run around for someone that! Fiestas hold their value amazingly!

Matt love your videos like this,but every video you do you seem to drive to the location in some lovley big cars would you mention in future videos what your driving to the location of the car you have bought

If you're buying a manual N/A example (if Ford even made those), you should be fine🤞. It's the Ecoboost engines and the automatic transmissions that always have issues that could sometimes total the car (repairs could cost more than the car is worth). I'd recommend a Honda Fit (Jazz if you're not from North America) as an alternative. They're fuel efficient, fun to drive (especially with the manual), and they're very reliable.

Would not touch eco boost with a barge pole

You certainly seem to have brought some quite decent cars so far this year and those that did not make the grade have been given the boot - I bet your accountant is happier😄 Not a diesel fan but the low running costs of this Fiesta are going to be a great selling point. Don't think you should worry about the amount of profit - we know you will have to pay VAT on the diffence between the purchase price and the selling price and you will be on the hook for issues that might arise with the car in the first few months.

Great video as always, Matt! Will you start selling Under Budget t-shirts soon?

Nice one, Matt! 2014...10 years ago already. Time is slipping away sometimes.

Don’t worry about that tyre it’s only soft at the bottom

Owned a pre owned eco boost from the same year. It looked the same inside and out (apart from being black) and I genuinely couldn't fault it. I think it's the best looking ford (apart from a mustang or GT) and felt solid and tight. Not a ford fan but I'd own another fiesta... If it was an ST

I am pleased it is not just me with number plates i have owned a fair few cars over last 28 years and i have always said a new pair of plates really lifts a car and it has to be pefectly strait and not on the tilt!! (seen many a high end car with a wonky plate) that and clean wheels or even trims/hub caps!! All in the detail😎

Still waiting for your first overspend of 24! Very impressed . The real test will be when something interesting or sporty turns up ....

Cracking little car. Just thought of a new High Peak Merch idea - "I have massively overspent" with crossings out to read "I have marginally underspent."

Well done Matt. Profit is Not a Dirty word

This is definitely your funniest video ever Matt. I laughed all the way through! So did the tyres just need pumping up then?

The pregnant looking Fiesta. I passed one this morning up a 1 in 10 appx hill at 60mph in my 60bhp Skoda Citigo! Admittedly, I was accelerating in 4th gear and the Fiesta may well have been in 5th - but who cares, the Fiesta was slower than the Citigo and I suspect would not be as good as the Citigo in sticking to the road despite the Fiesta's raving reviews!!

I brought my better half a 2014 fiesta 1.5tdci zetec with 30k on it in 2017. It cost £7500 and the only issue it has had other than wear and tear has been a water pump housing leak which I replaced myself. These cars have the looks, drive great and are cheap to run so it’s no wonder my missus won’t change even though it’s not ulez. Matt has a fabulous example here and its new owner should not be disappointed.

Can I just commend Ford for releasing so many beautiful colors? Too many grey, white and black on the road already. The deep impact blue is gorgeous. Have a beautiful metallic blue myself.

Was my first car... a 63 plate 1.5L Diesel fiesta... Saw me backwards and forwards to Heathrow from Kent weekly going too and from work. Had two more Fiestas after that one (all be it both petrol) and think they are cracking little cars.

Nice one Matt good car good sale Kevin from Radcliffe

Did you replace the tyres in the end and what about the dent in the boot? Great videos btw.

Great car, colour, job. Well done

im buying one of these soon , im excited :)

I know that the fiesta is a gd and popular car, i will always go for a Focus, i had a Mk2 focus the facelift one the Mk2.5 bk in 2010 and had it for just over 9 yrs and had between 74 and 76 thousand miles on it, Great car and i miss it, wish i knew where it is now, even my first car is which was a C1 from 2007, Great video 👍

Would be interested to see a demonstration of how you touch up minor damage- I’ve never been able to get that look right

Buff man 😂 keep the vids coming m8 love em

If the Fiesta Diesel bakes sense, will you swap it for your Range Rover? NO! No, neither would I😂 Another good one Matt!

Had one the same colour, same year, looks good polished up. Titanium 1.0, 125 bhp petrol - great little car, handled like a go cart and never missed a beat. All the ecoboom stuff is a bit harsh, it's a complicated engine and needs to be properly serviced. If you are a nerd and want to know where your Fiesta was made, it could have been Spain, Russia, UK or Cologne in this era you can tell by the letter and number combo on your VIN plate.

Ecoboom is fair. The wet belts can and do fail before the service interval either in time or mileage even with religious servicing by a main dealer. By 2014, they were all built in Cologne for the UK market. Dagenham had shut down in '02, leaving only Southampton producing vehicles (Transits) until that too was closed in 2013. The Valencia plant was building the Mondeo by then, and Russia produced for the Eastern European market.

@steve0680657

@cjmillsnun Those belts that fail do so because people either self-service or use a local independent who fills the engine with any old 5w30 or 5w20 oil. ​The WSS-M2C948-B spec has been specifically designed for the wet belt and is the only oil that should be used on the Ecoboost. How many independent garages keep a jug of that on the shelf specifically to service fords ecoboosts... None. Garages have a 500L oil tank that's filled once a month with 5w30 A3/B4 and they use it for everything. That's why belts fail.

u def do not need an odo rollback!l btw u r very good with words, and here's some other incident/country combos: fracas in france, sprain in spain, rumble in romania, hit in hungary, botch-up in belgium.

Great buy Matt, very sensible start to the new year and It's a deserved profit if it sold for the price you wanted, All the times you've over spent you deserve some good karma.

I'll bet those tires were just soft because of how cold it's been recently ... if they haven't been pumped up since warmer weather and the air pressure drops as it cools...

Invest in a pressure machine from Halfords or euro car parts and leave it at your office or rang rover. Then you can fill up before going on a test drive Matt

Great to see! I wouldn't be concerned about your profit, it just indicates you got your purchase price right and kept a lid on expenses. The day you buy a car, replace just the number plates and sell it for a lot more must be coming soon, based on the confidence you showed about their adding value. 😊

We had a white one of these as a works 'pool' car Matt....oddly it too always looked like the tyres were flat, spent most of it's life in the garage with engine management light on! (Even lower miles than yours).....They swapped it for a Toyota Yaris hybrid after six months, which was unusual as they were on 3 year lease.😕

Ztec is 1.25 engine. Try the 1.0 liter eco boost, with the WetBelt!

Got a red 1.25 and it goes really well. Smooth and fast enough

I had a mondeo ST in that colour. But for that it was called ford racing blue. Such a better name. Also had a kuga in “deep impact blue” (keep thinking about the dodgy disaster movie deep impact). Even in the dealership i called it ford racing blue

Bought a 2010 fiesta anything after that were bad years to buy right up until 2016 and it has never let me down.
