If there are two car lots next to each other, and they both have identical cars on the forecourt, you'd pay £500 more for the vehicle with a decent youtube documentry of the sourcing and preparation. Thats the genius of being an honest car dealer. Second to a house, a car is the biggest purchase most people will make, and these days, well, who can afford a house? I know the tyrekickers expecting perfection from a 20yo Yaris, appear tiresome, but £2k to someone who hasn't got £2k to spend, is more to them, than the man with £30k for a 3 yo used Audi/BMW/Merc. So if they can be reassured the cars good, and the dealers honest, they'll pay top dollar, because it's too important not to. As soon as a saleman gives it the bull shit, you walk away. I was interested in a car in Feb. As soon as I mentioned if there was any movement on price, I was told "On no, everythings selling well". Given I knew the car had been on his forecourt since the previous august, parked up for six months, and the guy won;t even dip £100 to make me feel I got a deal, I walked. It sat there for another three, and had a price reduction to less than I would have paid before it went. Dealers, be straight, honest and transparent.

Well done Matt! You have saved a Jag that has plenty of life left in it.👍

The XF is still a great looking car, great job on saving this one!

So, according to what I've seen so far, service costs and parts are outrageously high in the UK, whereas cars are extremely cheap. I'd say that it's the exact opposite in Southern Europe. The cheapest second-hand XF available in Greece at the moment is advertised for 13.000 euro, with 260.000km on the clock. Nice video, once again!

@@alexvlad2770It doesn't make any sense, though, taking into account the depreciation of cars in the UK. Maybe that's the reason why there are so many cars with British plates in Southern Europe. They buy them so cheap that they don't even mind the fact that they are RHD, which is a problem when they have to overtake, due to visibility. It makes sense, though. You get a good make and you have it serviced independently for almost nothing.

You are the epitome of every customers dream car dealer. You take care of every aspect of the cars prep for sale. Honestly and genuinely. No bodges and without knowingly hiding surprises for the customer. We can see that the customer will get a decent, safe car that they will be proud of. My son is wanting to be a car dealer and I refer him to you as the role model to emulate. Keep up the good work. Absolutely love watching your videos.

My 5.0 V8 naturally aspirated is one of the best investments I have ever made and it is thanks to your videos! Over a year into owning it and every time I get into it is like the first time all over again. Wonderful car and perfectly reasonable running costs...So far! 🤞

I've owned a 2011 XF since May this year. Despite being an older car, it has more class and soul than most new cars in my view. Most new stuff is bland and characterless in my view. The XF is a beautiful looking car and I've never taken so many photos of any car I've owned. It's only a premium luxury and it's the 2.2d, but it's a lovely place to be. Keep up the good work Matt

What a beautiful car! It’s great that you bring cars like this back to life. It’s also good to see there was a bit of money in it for you as well. Good review.

Great work Matt! Even at 14 years old that XF looks and I guess drives brilliantly. Your channel resulted in my buying a 2011 XF Luxury a year ago and I still love it every time I drive it. Simply one of the greatest cars!

Matt is a weekly must watch , beats top gear hands down , and lots of excellent dry northern humour . Spot-on!!

Great job Matt. After the makeover, the XF now looks like a proper luxury car. (The peeling dash was pretty appalling. I wonder how they cope in really hot countries.) Apart from being informative and entertaining, these videos are great ads for your business. Anyone buying a car from you knows they are going to get a well prepared and maintained vehicle. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from you. Keep up the good work.

If nothing else, you are certainly someone who puts out honest cars and for that i tip my hat to you. Love the channel...👍🏻

Great content, Matt. Another lovely car given a fresh lease of life and thank you for being so candid about the highs and lows on the expenditure. It all builds trust, which can only be good for your business.👍

It will come back for warranty, I'd not want to retail one.

wow, such attention to detail. for me buying a secondhand car, i really don't mind/care about the scratches on the wheels, bumper and keys. the most important thing is that the car has a good service record and has just had it checked out/serviced, cambelt done (that's really nice, some dealers don't bother). great effort 👍

Had a top spec 2009 3.0 xf 4 or so years ago and for the cheap prices they go for they really are the business. Love the interiors too.

👍Matt, well done for saving the Jag. It's worth every penny of your advertised price when one considers the quality of the XF, how they drive and the fact that a big job in the form of cambelts will have been done. A suggestion to save you time - record "I've massively overspent" and just clip it into the beginning of every video. 🤣

Well done Matt!! What a lovely car!! Always have a huge soft spot for an XF!!! You do get your hands on some great cars ( even if you spend more than you planned ). And you always turn them round properly. Well done!!

So glad you saved this. I own a ‘13 XF 3.0 S portfolio (red with black leather and black alcantara). Like some of the others here I love it and it still feels special. Great cars.

Enjoyed this vid, your direct style is most entertaining :)

That is one beautiful car Matt, I think you’ve bought a good one there. Of course over spending is the rule on this channel, but hopefully there will be some profit for you. It looks every bit the prestige car it should now.

Matt is the man, no debate. Learn sooo much from his videos. And for reviews on super luxury cars it's Harry and his garage. Both are so practical....wise one migh comment. Thanks guys.

Your a brave man Matt but also a great bargain hunter id buy it it looks like new awesome review thanks for your time fantastic 😊👌🚘

That's going to be a great buy for someone, especially with the cambelt replaced, which is the main worry when buying an older car, even with a modest mileage as belts can deteriorate with age and wreck the engine without warning. All the main things have been done, it should just be a case of enjoying a nice car which should last for years, for a price less than a new suv would depreciate in it's first year.

Pay your bills before you pay your self. That should be what every business does. Shame everyone does not have the same attitude as you. You always seem to turn out some great cars in the end even if your profit margin gets eroded. Another great video.
