5 OVERLOOKED BARGAIN CARS FOR UNDER £5,000

[@itsjoel]

Hey everyone! Trying a different style of video this week, whilst I still work on acquiring a new car for the channel. Let me know what you think & if you enjoy I’d appreciate if you give the video a thumbs up! Thanks all, see you soon!

[@UniverseGaming792]

Love this new video, always makes my day when you upload! Consistent quality videos, doesn't matter what genre I'll still watch them! some great cars here, but i'm still going for the 3.0 Z4 in december when I get my no-claims (thanks to you :P )

Pheaton, what a wonderful car. I still wish I could have 1 today, together with a Passat CC. Whoever styled those cars, had taste.

[@itsjoel]

so classy aren't they

[@philtucker1224]

Passat CCs are gorgeous. Nice seats too! 👍

[@skimmingstoness]

They are a bag of spanners and a pig to work on and something will go wrong with it

[@G4RY1159]

Considered buying a CC myself

[@jwpalfrey]

I’ve owned a Passat Cc GT TDi 170 for 6 years and 65k miles. Now 12 years old and 136k on the clock. Paid £8.5k 6 years ago. Suffered major depreciation but been fantastic in my ownership. Highly recommend one. I do long commutes and get just shy of 1000 miles per tank average 65mpg which isn’t bad. It’s not a drivers car but for long motorway stints is very comfortable. I put 25 mm eibach springs on with the standard DCC dampers.

[@chrislockey7706]

We own a Jaguar XF 3.0 diesel and a BMW 430d Msport, the jaguar is so much more comfortable handles just as well and almost as fast. I'd certainly recommend one.

[@ouethojlkjn]

I was lucky enough to own a Jaguar XF 3 litre diesel as a company car and it was absolutely fantastic not only to drive but what a looker inside and out! I always used to look forward to driving it. And being careful 55 mpg was quite easy to achieve

[@bondjamesbond9041]

These cars are affordable to buy. But it doesn't mean that they are affordable to own Most of the five you have reviewed don't have the best reliability record and when something does go wrong it could easily cost more to put right than the original £5k price. You should have said proceed with caution!

[@serenityinside1]

Absolutely. I’d say the Volvo best bet. Jag and merc = probably £££ money pits. Buying is just the start 😯

[@SideKickStudios]

Speaking from personal experience, DO NOT, under any circumstance, get the Jaguar XF with 2.7 or 3.0 diesel (same engine that lives in the Landrover). They are notorious for snapping the crankshaft and it can literally happen out of the blue. They usually have a lifespan of about 200K - 250K kilometers. And if you're lucky and don't brick the block, the repair for this requires complete removal of the engine and nearly full disassembly, which will cost you just about 2/3 of the current market price of the car. And if you bricked the engine, good luck finding a replacement, which costs just about as much as the car itself and will also need rebuilding to avoid the same thing some time down the line (probably soon). I just bought one, it was butter smooth, quiet, no discernible noises or warnings, no leaks, nothing. Managed to drive it for a few hundred miles and then at a rapid pace over the span of 24 hours it developed a misfire-like shake and shortly after this (in 10 minutes of runtime, while diagnosing the issue) shaft bearings started making noise and the engine began shaking fairly violently, only at which point the OBC started flashing oil pressure warnings. It literally went from perfect to complete catastrophe in a flash. The XF is only worth with the petrol engines as they are far more sturdy. Otherwise, walk around it with a wide arc and don't even look at it.

[@WunHungLo99]

Own XFS portfolio 2012 face-lift, 175k, drives like a 30k mile car. The B and W 1200w audio probably cost more than the car is worth now. The face-lift with the 8 speed is a big step up from the bug eye pre 2012. The XFS is 0/60 5.9s and 40 mpg overall.

[@MichaelFlatman]

agree, my dad has one.. still stands up well today i think, bit of a heavy car but it's just how it is... dated satnav screen can be upgraded to apple carplay fairly easily now if needed.

[@fastasfox]

Xf sportbrake nd Saab 9-5 estate both bgreat looking estate cars.

[@Fursty53]

I love all of the mentioned models in the video, but in my country - Bulgaria (where we buy mostly the damaged cars from other European countries) all of the models except the Mercedes are on the "Black list" for buying, if I can say it like this. Nobody will advise you to buy a Phaentom or a Jag or an Alfa because of all issues that they have after long mileage. But I love the XF and I think one day to take the rist and to buy one

[@robsshedoftech6457]

Great video - thanks. Best XC90 is the 185HP D5 rather than the 163HP, earlier version - this has a 0-60 time of 10.6 seconds rather than 12 making it a bit quicker, but they are surprisingly torquey, so getting up to speed is smooth and surprisingly quick. A throbby 5 cylinder engine sounds less like a diesel than many diesels but not everyone likes the sound it makes. On a run, my trip computer reads 37 to 40mpg which isn't bad at all for a 2.1 tonne vehicle from this era. They also go on - examples with close to 200,000 miles are not uncommon.

[@itsjoel]

[@cannonball9478]

We’ve got two Jag XF’s. Save £100 a month for up keep as they are expensive to run let alone fix. That said a local independent specialist will look after you well. We have a 3.0d and a 4.2 NA V8. We get the economy for family holidays with the diesel and we get the great soundtrack with the petrol. They drive beautifully and have all the comfort you’ll ever need. Loads of space for a family car. Going to have the exhaust modded on the V8 to make it louder but not V12 BMW loud 😉.

[@scabbyg0Och92]

I enjoy this style of vid, its easy to watch. If you do more lists id try and go for mor quirky as opposed to the standard cheapest, fastest, most economical but all on a budget. Maybe do a list of things like the most advanced tech in cars no longer in production... probably need a snappier title though - i know the 2006 s class had great night vision

[@TJC156]

Great video Joel. I said on another video that I hope you back yourself with your new cars, buy cheap and fix them up and you’ll make great content - it’s what we all want to see.

[@DavidR_192]

Absolutely adore the Merc SL. Best on the list!

[@Sladey93]

Great video Joel! 🙂 I have a 2011 XF with the relatively rare 5 litre naturally aspirated V8 and it is a fantastic car. It can get almost 35mpg as a trip average over a long journey (the 5L is better on fuel than the 4.2 as it is a much more modern engine). It is super comfy as a GT car, plus it is nowhere near as unreliable as people say. The only issue I have had with mine in the last 10 months was 1 broken window regulator. If you can find a well cared for example with a good history they are fantastic value for money.

[@itsjoel]

what a beast!

[@BionicRusty]

A beast of a car you have there. Sadly I had the most bitter of lemons in my Portfolio. £10k+ worth of warranty repairs before the engine went bang three months out of warranty (2.7d). FJSH. JLR were so difficult to deal with with regards to a new engine/turbos that I ended up just leaving it in Haliwell Jones and eventually received scrap value for it. That’s how much I despised that car. I’d love a Discovery Sport, and may buy an early one with the Ford diesel, but am already hearing of the new JLR diesels going bang. Jaguar are blaming the drivers for their driving style and even refusing to fix warranty breaks as owners are not reaching the mileage that they claimed they would do, at the time of purchase. How there isn’t a huge and public lawsuit against JLR is beyond me. Such a shame as mine was a beautiful car that I intended to, and tried to, keep for many years.

[@Sladey93]

@@BionicRusty Oh dear! Sorry to hear about all the issues you had. It sounds like the diesels have real issues. Fingers crossed my V8 does not go bang 🙂

[@S-u-p-a]

The 5.0 is NOT more fuel efficient than 4.2 and the 4.2 although older is far more reliable from a chain maintenance perspective.

Owned a 159 SW for two years and 25k miles. It was an early 1.9jtdm. Fantastic styling and best handling FWD car I’ve had. Really nice to drive. However engine economy was poor vs other diesels and suffered from lots of electrical faults. Went back to VAG products after dipping in to an Alfa as simply didn’t have the time or funds to keep pouring in to it.

[@millarfamily2474]

Better looking estate car? CLS Shooting Brake - got my 2013 350CDI with 78K for £8950 (little outside the price bracket here - most expensive car I ever bought but still cheap as chips) It replaced a 2007 A6 Avant - not a bad looking car in itself (in it's day) - but looks a little flabby by todays Audi's standards)

[@MrGman2804]

Yes, I'd go for the Merc. Already it is much harder to get one of these for under 5k than a year or two ago, and do your homework, because a troublesome car could easily end up costing you another 5k!

So many cars, handicapped by non ULEZ compliance and/or current fuel prices will throw up some massive bargains. If you can sit tight with one until fuel prices stabilises (we hope) and don’t care about entering cities you may be very well placed.

Been running it for 3 years now will only minor things needed (wear and tear). Lovely sound to the engine, goes really well but still does just under 40mpg at motorway speeds.

Spot On info on the XF... FYI the N/A 4.2 V8 is one of the rarest XFs in the UK with only 205 ever registered in the short 2 year production life and about 160 currently on the road, one of them being my 1 owner from new 4.2 V8 XF 👌 and yes driven very gingerly you can eek out 35 MPG out of it but eventually it drops to around 28 MPG on mixed driving cycle which is still very impressive for such a large Luxo- Barge 👌 Driving into London it naturally drops to low 20's but what a way to Waft about our Capital 😎 I love it and it's super smooth & very reliable 4.2 V8 👍
