    Everyone needs to understand that no one is ever forcing someone to sell their car, Taylor went looked at the car and made the chap an offer he accepted it, end of the story. If he wanted more money he could have said get the car up a lift look at it and if everything checks out you give me 1500 if it is rusty you give me 1100 or simply said no I do not want to sell it for that much and put it up on facebook, ebay, autotrader anywhere realy and sold it that way. Fair play on your part you accepted that the viewers felt differently about it and you rectified your "mistake" and everyone is happy now. I bought a car recently for a steal, car was already 2000 cheaper than any other comparable one and I knocked another 1000 off for paint chips, scrapes and other little stuff he could have sold it for more but at the end he was happy and I was happy and same story goes for you guys. You never put a camera in the sellers face and make him uncomfortable you negotiate like anyone else would do so I think you guys are doing enough already to be as fair as possible to both parties.

    During Covid I bought a Toyota FJ80 that had been off the road for 3 years. It was advertised for 1.8k, I contacted the seller and arranged to view the following day as very local. The advert had only been live for a few hours and I had a call back shortly after saying he had had loads of interest and has been told it was well underpriced which it was! I had a discussion with the seller and I still wanted to view even if he wanted a bit more for it. When viewing the car it had clearly not been cleaned inside or out for many many years so difficult to see condition of paintwork but it ran, drove, stopped and all diffs engaged and there were no leaks and no milkshake. So certainly worth a punt. He said he was looking for closer to 2.8k so I just said meet in the middle and we shook on 2.3k. He got a bit more than he originally expected and I knew with an MOT it was worth 3x that but we were both happy. After 4 x new tyres & fluid changes I was into it for 3k. Passed it's MOT and drove irregularly for a year, went greenlaning in it 3 times and created some memories with my son, which is priceless. Sold it after a year for 7k to a lovely Scottish chap who drove it all the way back home with his son. Everyone was a winner. If you are selling something it is worth whatever someone is willing pay. That chap may have tried selling the car multiple times before and had no luck so something is better than nothing.... If you put loads of research into a certain vehicle you'll know what it's worth. If you just want it gone without the hassle of hours of research then you'll be happier with less... Keep doing what you are doing guys - let's see some work done on all these cars you keep buying 😅 and looking forward to some challenges with TDC & ATG 👍🏼

    I think there's a bit of a communication issue there because of vagueness of "Change of circumstances" (Could mean anything, a lot of people assumed the worst , that he'd fallen on hard times so didn't have much choice to not sell), and also a bit of a power dynamic thing there to keep in mind as he was a fan. Just something to be aware of, though I didn't feel like you did anything wrong there really.

    drivel..4 decade car dealer here and if you pull out of an already lowball deal at the last minute then i will extract the money from you the hard way. You even dare try do that with a traveler here and it will be the last thing you do. All i hear is wee boys that dont quite understand how physical people in this trade will get with you for anything to do with pulling out. Repeat lowballing gets you hurt here in the UK pal

    I think your discussion about the mira is totally fair. You can’t please everyone. It is true that you guys always seem to get amazing deals on cars, however you also deserve it and put the hard work in. One thing I would say is that you guys are making money on the content for these cars so maybe factor that into your negotiations in the future to make sure the seller gets a fair price they are happy with (I know the seller was happy with £1100 in the video and props to giving him the extra £400 💪🏻). I love the content and haven’t once thought you’ve taken advantage of anyone when buying cars so keep up the good work and I will keep watching everything 💪🏻👏🏻

    People will never be 100% happy with what they are shown or given, despite the fact you’re publishing content for free! People are quick to forget all the good you’ve done when they judge you’ve done something wrong, don’t take it to heart, and fair play for addressing the comments in a measured and respectful way. Personally I’m not a fan of car dealers (no offence Taylor 😉), but they are a necessary thing - if everyone got the price they actually wanted for their car from a dealer then there wouldn’t be any dealers, as they wouldn’t make any money. Keep up the good work lads - always look forward to the latest video from the AutoAlex ‘conglomerate’ 😁

It had 70k on the clock but the engine had been replaced under warranty at 58k!!! I’m loving doing little bits on it myself and am looking at some 200 cell cats and a Paramount exhaust with associated tune to take it to 420bhp.

I know guys whove made people sign their houses over to them because they messed with them this type way only to find out they messed with the wrong person/family.

Ultimately you're not wrong, the guy didn't have to accept the offer. And Alex is very right, whatever he says on the subject will be disected. Written, verbal he will be underly overly remorseful, maybe but perhaps not but geniuninely maybe possibly not yes definitely yes.

Someone even tried saying it was your responsibility to maintain high car prices?? The dude didn't have to sell his car to Taylor - if he felt he was getting value added by selling it to Taylor because he'd be on youtube then that's completely his choice and he accepts that price.

    I did mention on that Kei car video that at least you gave him the cash. I didn't complain about the price. If you look at it this way, what you lose on the swings, you gain on the roundabouts. In another video sometime you'll do down the track, you'll get a fantastic price on a car you'll show it off. Since all you guys now have Kei cars, I reckon you should all do a video trip to either the Nurburgring & race with Mischa or go to Northern Italy & drive the Kei cars in the narrow streets where normal cars can't go. Otherwise, do a huge trip with them. Ask Jack if he got his teeth whitened by the dentist? Cheers for the laughs!

    On the topic of car prices - I think it's important to remember there are a load of reasons why someone might sell something undervalue and be happy to do so. Obviously there's a fine line between that and taking advantage of someone But I've sold everything from cars to my house under value. Sometimes making money isn't the main priority. A quick sale, a sale to someone you know will make the most of it, already selling for more than paid. Plenty of reasons for it, not all of them mean someone is doing something scummy 🤷

    I'm not speaking about being in dire need or whatever, since i've never been there. However I once sold a couple of good cars for VERY cheap. I was pained to let them go for cheap, but i had to move out of the country within a matter of weeks, they were at a friend's place, they were not insured or taxed and hadn't been for a few years, and i didn't have time to wrench on them so i could sell them at a much better price. I feel it was exactly the same kind of deal Taylor strucked. It is cheap, and there is a good car underneath with decent potential, but nobody is ever gonna buy it for much more because of the circumstances of the deal. At the end of the day, if the seller accepts, it's because he finds his own satisfaction in the deal. I could have said no when i sold my cars, and with a little bit of effort, i would have gotten 2 to 4 times more money, but i didn't. I'm not blaming the buyer for that.
