@@Gtttts The point is when you get a car in part exhchange which is reasonable but may have issues. By stripping one or two parts which are reasonable in price and in demand can turn a scrap value of £2-300 into £300 + another for instance £3-600 in parts. Bits as simple as a sidestep, tailgate, seats, doors or whatever are worth good money if sold individually. Think you should do research before you completely deny the idea

What about replacing the engine with the other one with the rust issues? 🇨🇦

joe you must start to cut your losses in the future , you must have an appointment type system in place for part exchange so you can carry out a vehicle score and plug the top Dom in and check it on the lift. , and I can't believe Jason offered £1500 for that old vehicle , all the staff need to get a grip and start helping to save money , I used to tell my staff if we don't all pull our weight for the company we will all end up out of work 👍

1st major red flay is someone calling themselves a 'Doctor' and driving about in a 2005 Grand Vitara 😂

If this is the only car you’ve ever been tucked up we with you’ve done very well My advice as a retired motor dealer is your first pill is your best pill Get rid of all that scrap ASAP stop your missus buying cars and have a strict aged policy with stock cars and trade cars normally 90 days retail and 7 days for trade Your new DMS system will highlight this for you Good luck keep up the good work mate

Tell the doctor his new car now has no warranty !

Have you seen the Only Fools and Horses episode 'The Chain Gang'? They kept emphasising they were a Doctor as well. Oldest scam in the book 😂 good to see you've got a sense of humour about it. 100% spoke perfect English as well. Hook, line and sinker unfortunately

I would imagine fifty per cent of PXs have something to hide either something has broken or they know something is about to go wrong. Of course there are certain customers you need to be more wary of.

You need to start taking those cars especially the 4x4 to Leominster Car Auctions they love all that there

Oh heck... Best thing to do now is to get rid quickly, don't let it hang around. Get some of your money back and into another car. if you leave it hanging around it will keep reminding you and make you feel down.

@@ShiftingMetal Joe, if you google Vitara misfire when cold there are quite a few posts out there, some admittedly other Suzukis, with exactly the same symptoms. Assuming no drop in compression on any of the cylinders, which would suggest a burnt valve, the issue could well be as simple as a dodgy wire or a failed temp sender…

sounds like a burnt exhaust valve on the vitara! great vid as always Joe thanks for the entertainment.

If someone said they were a doctor in that kind of situation - I'd instantly trust them less as they don't understand business or taking a loss because of someone else, and have no idea of the challenges of being self employed.

Hi Could you tell me what would the cost of a engine would be, I had a 2003 Grand Vitara but it was diesel and was a fantastic jeep never let me down.

Would be great if you could sell the parts as they are worth far more than scrap value. Big business in second hand parts??

Best episode … ❤

Matt from High Peak is a master of buying older cars. I sometimes get mad at just how little he pays for what, on the face of it, its an OK car. But then he goes on, occasionally, to spend far too much on prepping it for resale. A case in point is for the cars that once were desirable (thinking of the Jaguar XKR) and now have a yearly road tax of £735 if paid all upfront. I love those, I had one, but given the road tax on what would be a Sunday driver, I’m not doing it. Hence a 4.2 car from 2016 with 100k+ miles is practically worthless. I almost bought one. I’m glad I didn’t as it is it worth very much just a few months later. So old cars? Buy for scrap value.

Wish I lived nearer you. Looking for a new car and it's worrying trusting local dealers (been stung before) would definitely buy a car from you or chops. Unfortunately I live in Surrey which is a bit far to comr and look at a car but love the channel 😊

When a member of the public sells (trades in) a car to a dealer it is a private sale, caveat emptor, you have no legal recourse, nor can you, as a dealer, legally put anything in the purchase agreement obliging a private seller to essentially offer you a warranty. What you are proposing to do falls under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, which prevents a trader from imposing terms on a transaction that cause an imbalance to the detriment of the rights of the consumer.

@@ShiftingMetal I doubt that very much, as a business you cannot legally demand a consumer essentially provides a warranty on a car sold to you. There’s certainly absolutely nothing in the wbac terms and conditions that states they will or can reduce the amount payable after a deal has been done. As a business the onus is on you to check any vehicle you purchase is to the standard you require - do you demand BCA provide you with a warranty on “sold as seen” cars, would you expect them to refund you money if you discovered a fault on a car sold with no guarantee?

This is the motor trade,BCA and others sell cars like this everyday unseen and unheard on their internet sales which dealers buy every day and then realise what a mistake they’ve made when the vehicle is delivered. There will not one dealer who hasn’t been caught out at sometime so don’t be to sad about it your not the first and certainly won’t be the last to fall foul of these things when dealing with bangers,put it in an auction with a sold as seen no warranty ticket on it,tart it up a little I’m sure some other dealer will snap it up thinking he’s snapped a bargain up,its a tough trade your in and I think paying £600-00 for that car is not the disaster your making it out to be,£600-00 in the motor trade is loose change and you know it or should do,you probably made more than twice that amount on the car you sold him so suck it up and move on,you can’t win them all as I’ve found out over the last 50 years selling vehicles.

Have you put oil down cyl and plug back in to see if compression comes up may just be a burnt valve mate or a bore scope down if youve got one all the best in the old days we used to put piston seal down the cyl lol

Must be just me being a big softy, but 6 years ago, I p/x'd my car and TOLD them that sometimes the clutch juddered on take off. The salesman seemed to really appreciate my honesty, but told me it wouldn't affect the trade in value or the deal, and not to worry about it.

They want you to provide terms that virtually guarantees them a perfect vehicle for a decent period of time. Only right they offer px on the same or similar terms. Obviously the buyer can’t warrant the px goods but an assurance it is free from catastrophic fault or serious running condition problems seems absolutely fair to me. BUT as I’ve been told many times …..who wants to get shut of a good motor with plenty of life in it? Nobody ….. perhaps px’s shut only ever be considered as dogs and valued as such….it’s a difficult one though for sure.

Ouch!

Took in a Nissan Note from a former neighbour / friend - assured it ran like a Swiss Watch - quick check over in the car park - yep looked the part - did the deal giving them a good price - brought car in that night - clutch was completely shot! Forget to apply the ABC - Accept nothing - Believe know one- Check Everything! Have now sold up and retired.

Put oil down the pot and do a compression reading, if it goes up it's the rings if no change it's a valve.

I know the law regarding rejection from a customer point of view, but haven't a scoobie how it works vice versa. Does the same rules apply as if it were a private sale when a dealer purchases from a customer? i.e. Is there no way a dealer can reject a car?

Hi Bill from Liverpool here on this video you never told us about the 61 plate BMW Mini can you send info on it and what you asking thanks Bill 👀😀👍 oh the mini on the farm lot

Oh for the days when engines were simple and taking a head off and putting it back on was only a couple of hours. You could get really lucky and put in new rings with stepped top one and have it behaving itself for a year or so. Even short blocks were cheap as chips.

Why don't you do Vehicle Score when appraising the PEX. That 17 Vitara looked nice.

I have worked with car salesmen from all walks of life and, with a very few notable exceptions, they are warm hearted, but gullible believers. They have to believe because they sell for a living and the belief that they will earn an income based purely on sales commission is a very strong motivation. Trouble is, their optimistic outlook blindsides them to the publics' deceit and that's how they end up being easily cheated. I have been present on so many occasions when a salesman is completely disillusioned by the duplicity of the people they have done business with.

Could the engine from the £400 one be put in this one and make it good to sell

Hmm are both vitaras the same? Hows the engine in the other one you got? Honestly feel sorry for you guys after all the effort you put in for people

was wondering whether the consumer rights act would apply to you as a buyer of the PX here ?

Joe, could you not take the engine out the rusty one and put it in this one? Might reduce your loss?

Wonder what the phd mob would have done to you if you stitched them. Not so passive methinks. I think that engine is salvageable if 55 k genuine. No compression can mean a lot of things. The exhaust suggests unburnt fuel and maybe valve not necessarily piston. Find a scrap engine or strip top engine. I hrs job. Or sell as is these a really sought after, proper 4wd. Many uses. Great you humility over the matter. Doesnt Jason do the car check?

Chops likes Suzukis - some of that other stock might be up his street as well. Have you had a borescope in the engine - might just be a valve? As a general rule Suzuki is good at making engines.

Proven with farm walk round definitely some cars worth saving that will bridge lost profit. Vitara worth fixing if nothing else wrong?! All is not lost.

If it's a bent valve a 2nd hand head swap might fix it

Even running and driving Jason’s given way too much money that Vitara. It’s £1000 at most and should have been £500 really so that worst case you scrap it and lose £150. It also means you can just scrap all the part ex’s and focus on selling the proper stuff.

Individuals, selling cars with known issues to a company should be held accountable, if they knowingly do it. As should auctions like BCA etc As they do not show consistency in pricing or reporting on cars defects.

If its a burnt out valve, head off, it's worth doing, it would be 2995 then. I hardly ever take p exs in, I look at it like you'd not be buying their car for good money if it was offered to you, most people p ex ing to smaller dealers on cheaper cars their car is faulty, as you say easy to give 1500 and it's only scrap.
