[@daniellantos26]

I called a few dealers and I asked if they would accept a pre buy inspection but most of them refused. Why is that? It confused me a lot why they refused.

[@johncalvin9703]

Link refuses to open in Safari - not secure, shame would have liked the opportunity to own this car😮

[@scouseauditzz]

Calvin how do i get in touch with you i have a s3 but i need it looking at somthing not right would appreciate you getting in touch to discuss it many thanks in advance

[@garethedwards2883]

Most reasonable buyers accept that there will always be issues with used cars but if dealt with by the seller in a timely manner with communication then they are happy. ( Exactly what you do Calvin which is why you are successful and a great guy).

[@ryanhall9347]

sounds like they went over a curb at some speed in that S3 and then returned it, lmao

[@altonotis1975]

Great customer service. Wish everyone was like this 👏

[@jamesram6854]

More car dealers need to take a leaf out of your book. Complete transparency and honesty hats off to you and the team at binca

[@dewiwilliams2231]

I've got the same S3 saloon but manual and standard. I've changed the thermostat coupling and water pump as they are common to go on these. The hatches came with 18's and the Saloon with 19's and on the pfl saloons there are usually 2 different styles of 19's, the wingarms which I have on mine and the ones that look like the 18's on the hatches (I think they are a lighter wheel)

[@richardbrown74]

Who else gives away potential . A 135i S5 and S3 !! Calvin does well done that mate. Top bloke

[@Tonys_training]

Absolutely brilliant video Calvin as clear as glass you are I like your honesty

[@tommyd4829]

I had a S3 exactly the same color/year with 50k on clock and had major problems with it losing coolant and the rear caliper was knackerd so 2 common problems mate

[@RB-lt8kt]

My used S3 was amazing but after 2 years I had possible water pump issue on its way. Common faults are air con condenser damage from not replacing dryer cartridge, Haldex issues, water pumps, timing chain stretching, mag ride suspension issues and also know of a 2016 S3 which had a rear diff seize while being driven. Audi quoted £7000 to fix. Audi dealers don't like taking cars over 3 years old as one put it "year 5 is problem time". Golf R has similar issues as the cars are pretty much the same. Used / trade in prices drop off a cliff after 5 years as well.

[@247heavyhitter]

I’ve got exactly the same car but with a manual, VRS is the only place I trust to touch it 👍🏼 19” wheels come on the saloons 18” on the hatchbacks

[@KozyOnCars]

Think the stock saloon s3 wheels suit the car for sure for me Calvin! Its always annoying when you buy or sell a car and then there are problems. All you can do is deal with it best you can. I've been on both ends. No doubt your service was top drawer. It happens. You just keep moving forwards.

[@shahzad2453]

Another good upload Calv, it was good to look into the less pleasant side of being a used car dealer, fair play to all those in industry. Btw, stock wheels would look clean on the S3 👌

[@peeweepeach1]

My e91 makes the same noise from the dash and it's the vent direction motors I think. Only does it sometimes

[@BlueBud]

If its had the thermostat housing replaced, check the multiplug on it for corroded terminals, this can lead to a faulty reading off of the temp sensor

I had a very similar problem. Bought a car from a Motor Trader 2 hours away. After two weeks the car made a rattling sound. I went to a garage and they said the water pump needs replacing. However, the garage said they can't replace the water pump as a special tool is needed. I asked another garage, they said the same thing. I called the dealership and they quoted me £700. I called the motor trader I bought car from, they said to bring the car back to them. Thought to myself if there's another problem I will have to do the 2 hour journey. So I asked for refund and the motor trader accepted.

[@gges1605]

Is it 12 months the law in UK says a dealer has to refund car if customer returns it with a fault? It seems crazy and a lot of people don't know their rights but law provides an opportunity to return cars if you buy from a dealer no matter what goes wrong in that time wither they sell you warranty or not makes it difficult for dealers but that's the law

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Get some bilstein b6 dtc dampers on this and retain the dcc, around £1300-£1500.

Ca;ipers sticking happens,it's done it happened when I had new discs and pads gioy in the car and the caliper ,because it had retracted back where it gadn't been for a while sticj etc.

[@ATV-Grace]

I bet that rattle is that the rear engine cover, I had that same noise on my old bmw, only heard it when it was stationery or on reverse stragley enough but yeah... defiantly on my car it was the rear engine cover, as you slotted the main engine cover into the rubber grips in the rear one use to put the rear cover away as there was a bolt missing that held it down so just use to vibrate all the time then

[@osamabidenobama8240]

Calvin I came down your place to buy a car but the guys working kept rushing me like they wanted me to leave

[@richardfarkas7815]

I’ve bought a BMW e46 from this place in September, had the car for a month and the engine had major oil leaks in the engine, to solve the issue it would of cost more to repair or replace the engine than what I’ve bought the car for, had to sell the car for scrap value. Very unfortunate as this dealership operate with auction terms which meant there was no way I could do anything about this issue. It was one of my dreams cars too!

[@startingtech3900]

Car was over 20 years old don’t buy a BMW if you can’t wrench!

[@andrewmcdonald9279]

Like your style Calvin,, had a car go wrong on me and dealer seemed he didn’t want know,,, the insurance I got with the car , was meant cover every thing but actually was worth a carrot , and if it did pay out it was half the bill ! Still more like you needed👍🏻

[@danielgreen4213]

For any car we we sell we strip down the brakes all round! The rear caliper should of been picked up in my opinion. I no that's not the reason for return but that is basic what should of been picked up.

[@jrobin4708]

The car was overheating and the water pump and thermostat was pissing out coolant 😂

[@abdallahbonne]

I bought a 335i and the day I drove it away EML light. Dealer refused to take back the car or pay for repairs. So far have spent over 6k on it, and will need an additional 5k to rebuild engine. Trying to bring this dealer to Court, but I would also like everyone to be aware of them and dodgy business as this has happened to many others. If anyone can help me out let me know!

Very busy road that A5, surprised that the road isn't a lot worse, they have been resurfacing it gradually a lot better than it was.

[@haslerdesigns]

@@stevenc5227 they have been working on it for weeks but rather than do anything about the rocky caverns you have to play Mario kart to avoid, they’ve been resurfacing other parts with high grip material, and repainting the lines. They’re also working on the towcester bypass which will start with a roundabout where the whittlebury turn was and I’ll be so glad when that’s finished but I really wish they’d pay some attention to the pot holes

[@alanhaigh9682]

So basically the s3 had been kerbed at speed then.

[@hermanmunster3358]

The 135i was blowing more from the right tail pipe than it was from the left. Check the head gasket, as it could have a small leak, leaking coolant into one or more of the cylinders. Or it could be low compression. It did sound like a diesel when pulling away.

[@pusb_87english63]

Valve on one side changes position to heat up the CAT and keep things at optimal temps, I was driving in freezing temps on a motorway and when I stopped one tail pipe was soaking wet and cold the other was dry and hot.

[@pusb_87english63]

Plus it was from a cold start, cold start on most BMW performance models always start with the valve closed on one side to heat the CAT up for emission purposes it’s definitely not what you say.
