I stumbled across your channel the other week and really enjoyed your auction presentation... So much so that I've found you and subbed👍🏻 40 years ago I used to attend to the local auctions every week... Not as a buyer (although I did occasionally buy) or a trader but more for the atmosphere... Now I can get the auction atmosphere from the comfort of my living room so thank you very much for your brilliant channel 👏🏻

[@carukchannel]

Thanks mark, glad your enjoying it 👍👍

[@graemew7001]

The Swift shocked me, 10 days MOT, 16 years old £2k, I don't care if it's auto, that was nuts. The Aygo 165k this week, the Panda 170k last week, you should make this a bit of a thing, hunt them out, miles were high but they still looked great. I don't see the small cheapies dropping for a very long time, demand is way out stripping supply and I don't see that changing any time soon.

[@williamfence566]

Just a note on Honda. Had a CRZ for 8 years and was brilliant . Sold it in September and my PX price has since gone up 😠. Bought a low mileage 69 plate civic which apart from Fuel economy isn't a patch on the CRZ. Been back to the Honda dealer 3x already. it's the 1.5 which has known problems with the early versions of oil contamination. I didn't want the 1.0 as a mechanic friend said to stay away from the 3 cyl as they have a wet belt and turbos seize. Build quality worse with fit and finish squeaks. Had great cars in the last 14 years but this is my last Honda.

Great video. As expected very good detail and analysis. Love all the buzzwords. In the next auction video can you try and include the phrase 'bonny car'. That phrase always makes me smile. 4:53 abso-chuffing-lutely loved that car! 6:29 nooo. surely it'd be desirable as such a unique car. I'd love trolling around town in that. 8:37 you forgot to say that's popular with food delivery drivers!

I had a 2008, Citroen C2 VTR paddle shift auto in the same metallic blue as this car in the auction which I let go to some Russian bloke stood in the middle of a field, for just 1500 quid cash. It was mint. how times change!!

[@tmtlga]

I just started following you and content is so absorbing. I'm astonished by insurance policy premiums. They want minimum £2,200 no matter car is 2015 Fiat Punto-£5000, or 2017 Corsa-£6600, or 2016 Merc C class-£13000. Can you mention in your next video a bit about how to overcome this issue? many thanks

Another informative video, no range rovers 😅, small stuff seems to be holding ok. Executive stuff, I reckon there going to drop, higher running costs maybe, cost of living and higher insurance. Range rovers thoughts on those?

[@andyrobertshaw9120]

I suspect the Citroën C2 didn’t do that well because the Citroën C1 was around at the same time. Both or sub-super mini (which the C3 was), so there was not really room in the market for both cars. The Toyota based car C1 will win the battle hands-down!

About time the prices for used cars and new cars is coming down because it was getting ridiculous people are now refusing to pay the ludicrous prices for vehicles now so the industry is taking a huge hit and will continue to do so especially fuelled by EVs not selling either car manufacturers are sinking no more tens of billions of pounds profit I mean let’s be honest the day I saw a Ford Fiesta worth £25,000 was the day I went na you’re alright and now the masses are following suit in light of the global cost of living crisis

The 64/65 Aygo sorry can't remember big miles but it had worn its 165,000 well.looked more like 65,000 that was cheap enough what was it £1400 , obviously not many people would want that but someone will.. That for some 1 its worth buying to drive into the ground. Maybe you should have had a punt on it lee. What sort of car have you bought on day of the sale.

[@KINGJK144]

I just got qutoed over £1000 for insurance on 08 scenic, was 490 last year. 9yrs ncb. Ended up paying 620 after shopping around, still almost 50% increase. Something bad is happening. I suspect they're hoping to price people out of driving to meet green targets.

It’s not that prices are dropping the demand has slowed down that’s all this time of the year it’s quiet for most dealers so if stock is not moving there’s no reason for dealers to buy more stock at the auctions hence why auctions are not selling over cap clean

keyless entry and start cars prices are crashing as insurance is going through the roof, due to numbers of thefts. apparently out of 50 insurance companies only 2 will quote on range rovers at all, and even then the premium in 10 grand plus.
