CAN I FIX A STOLEN 2024 CUPRA LEON FOR CHEAPER THAN BUYING ONE?...

[@davidhammond8049]

Hi Dean, from my point of view....... this sort of project is more interesting than things like the lambo simply because it's relatable/attainable........ the A7 was another good one. Kind regards David

[@Sknwlker]

Agreed

[@andyb7031]

I sort of agree too although a sprinkling of “dream cars” like the Lambo is good too

[@mribi]

Yep, i'm loving these more as well. Especially in the 0-8ish years old range

[@makeit2132]

100% agree. More risk dealing with increasingly more complex challenges (different types of damage) is more interesting to look all the way than dealing with a more expensive toy car.

[@neilcropper1486]

Agree 100%

This is the best car resurrection channel to watch. It's literally saving salvages. Top man, top work!

[@reggie3828]

Good one Dean. It's nice to see some "ordinary" cars from time to time, as well as the more exotic ones.

[@GearScar]

This car is one of the reasons I subscribed, cause not only do we get to watch you rebuild all sorts of cars, but here in Canada we don't even have this brand/model and so its interesting to see you repair a car that I've never even heard of

[@paulgray2387]

It’s a vw group car…

[@AI-Records24]

Ye literally vw MQB mate I’ve got a 2024 ateca now and it’ll be going soon wasn’t what I thought it would be and had loads of problems with it. Coming from an x5m50d it’s also slow asf.

[@Herewithkop]

Basically its a vw golf in a dress

[@stephenbarr6558]

The amount of labour and time put into the cars and allowing us to see Excactly what your doing, and after all that giving us a chance to actually own the cars in a raffle is amazing, why anybody would have a problem with that is beyond me, why would anybody begrudge you making some money from it, long may the raffles continue, tickets will be bought, and hopefully my luck is in.🤞

[@SavingSalvage]

Thanks bud!

[@catnip4885]

To remove those clips without losing the pin, simply press the pin in until it almost comes loose, using the head of a suitable pop rivet, then use a forked trim tool under the head to remove the clip complete with the pin.

[@JustinDRichards]

Enjoyed this little series. Its good to see you break it down so people can see how much goes into something like this.

[@AshlynnCairns]

The way you tell stories is on another level. Keep pushing it!

[@steveegginton535]

Great result as per normal. I think the variety of cars that feature on your channel is one of your strengths and I would like to see more cars/projects like this. You have come a long way from the stolen recovered Polo GTI that was the first video I watched back in covid times.

[@SavingSalvage]

Thank you!

[@jonathanbest7395]

Dean, yes I really enjoy when u buy a car that's nearly new or brand new with hopefully not many issues but at least a problem or 2 to make it worth while. In fact Matey I like all the things you do it's great, only thing is I could watch you for hours lol 🤣 Longer videos would be awesome but know it's not easy editing etc. Take care and keep up the great work 👍 😁😁

[@IanVeale-r2q]

Great video; enjoyed this “minor damage!” repair, you obviously have a huge knowledge of vehicles which must give you the confidence to tackle these jobs. Keep them coming.

[@T4Abyss]

Good work Dean, I like the mix of cars, older, newer, what ever mine or others opinions are of the car, it's good to get the variety, including technical deep dive fixes and the swop a module and code it in fixes 😅

[@slesss4888]

Just shows you Copart is totally only interested in keeping their KZbin buyers happy, just bought a Volvo which came with all the rear seat chewed from mouse damage which wasn’t on any photos, complained and I’m getting nothing, they’ve said because I had it delivered by a third party transport the damage could have happened after I took delivery.. they was like 1/2 hours max from me winning the vehicle to actually having it delivered.. total joke. Has put me off using them again

The Cupra came up really good Dean. Looks mint now. As usual your hard work & patience has paid off again. Chuffed your sticking it on compete for cars as I'm sure lots of people will enter. Even though we now know it's weak points, but let's face all modern cars have them. Glad you would have seen a profit after all the hassles & yes would like to see you do something similar when you can fit it into the schedule. All the best. Always enjoy the content 👍🏻

[@paulbrace1781]

Love this format, very entertaining and educational.

[@MrNessav]

Nice one Dean , can always relate to your budget and keeping it real. At least you'd make a profit unlike some of the others. The only problem is the cars registration will come up on a hpi search, yes it will be unrecorded but it will show its been through a salvage yard. Companies like "we buy any car" won't touch it. But you have become my favourite one to watch.

[@raythompson3103]

Yes dean more content on rebuilding motors not needing alot of parts And also be nice to see you rebuild a 7.5 Golf R, one hell of a Beautiful car

[@timeisnopromise]

Good luck to the person who buys that car! Likely to be no end if issues in the future, what with the fact the cabins been full of water! Surprised it isint a Cat B!!

Full of water....did I miss something?

@crisfiler6128 you must have! Full of water may be a slight exaggeration, but the cabins clearly had a fair amount of water in it.

thankyou Dean,as usual fantastic content,, been watching your content for a few years now, youve always been down to earth,,keep on doing what you are doing,,keep safe,👍👌

[@SavingSalvage]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tommy1985ist]

Keep up these videos, Dean. Great watch, and I always look forward to seeing them. 👍

[@KristianByatt-cw3ce]

Really enjoy the honest down to earth videos. Personally I wouldn’t have replaced the carpets on the new car, I wouldn’t have removed them all, cleaned them and air dried them thoroughly. As for the gear linkage it’s clearly a manufacturer defect so I think I’d have got them to do it. It’s definitely going to make a nice car for someone. As for Copart, what a bunch of absolute jokers! As long as people are going to allow them to cause damage to their cars and for staff to steal items and parts it going to continue. Trouble is they don’t care. If they were held accountable for their damage and the obvious theft from vehicles (the cars don’t belong to Copart so they have a duty of care for other people property while the vehicles are in their custody, this includes STAFF THEFT, NEGLECTFUL DAMAGE AND RODENT DAMAGE!!! If they were held to account then they would definitely be more careful, especially taking into account the amount of money they are making with their fees.I think if the insurance / finance companies stood a harder ground with them and the care of their property they would be more careful sadly they don’t care either.

[@Sknwlker]

Awesome work as always Dean! Btw, that hole on the sideskirt repair by the body shop is really good, looks factory.

[@taztaz6539]

[@sebastienflo3882]

For the clips, normally you shouldn't push it fully out but just at a position to be unlocked. And the central pin should stay in the clip. Honda use it on motorbikes since a very long time.

[@bz849]

Great Video as always!

[@markmdusty3]

I like these sort of builds of everyday cars as the super cars are now getting boring as so many youtubers are doing the same thing and they take to long. It's nice to see them done in a single or a couple of video's and not drag out for age's.. Keep up the good content. Thank you.👍👍

[@pocketrocket1237]

I collect & deliver Copart cars all over the country. As soon as i've left the yard they don't won't want to know about any damages, they even go as far back as rewinding CCTV footage apparantly incase i've driven back in and then complained 😂. Got lucky on that 1 Dean.

[@LubomirFotev]

You have an acutator to move the cable back and fourth for you. Great thinking...

[@StephenButlerOne]

I really preferd the old model. I had a 2 tsi estate version in bohemian putple. Great car. I was in a cupra dealer in september and really didnt like this current gen, it feels much larger car and it feels cheaper than the 19 model i had. The stering wheel was a big step down. Looking inside the other cupra models, this really looks and feels cheap inside. The seats on the Born are some of the nicest snd comfortable seats ive sat in in a long time. Cupra (minis the leon), are nailing the seats atm. Weather it be the entey level upt to the top trim vz. I perinally liked the dynamica seats, which woudk be there mid level seat now, but comes with driver and pasanger massaging and heating. The top line seat doesnt have the massage function.

[@kwinterburn]

The water will be being drawn up the cable by the difference in pressure between the inside and the outside of the car when moving , a good wet day and it will fill the unit , when you stop it will flow back out as a Syphon , or most of it will , the remainder standing in the unit will make it rot , it may also overflow and soak the carpet and your other module ,.....

Did you find the source of water getting into the vehicle? Very expensive repairs, for something that shouldn't have been possible to happen in the first place. You've got a lot of patience.

Given the complexity of new cars, none of which drivers need or want, can we predict that we've now passed the peak for good buys, and that the late 2020s models will be then ones to keep? That way you save about 50% in depreciation, which funds a lifetime of maintenance - i.e. about £20k on most cars you'd want...
