I BOUGHT A HIGH MILEAGE FORD FIESTA (UK CAR AUCTION)

[@Matty12333]

Why do people say Fords are unreliable? They are one of most reliable and durable cars on the road and rarely see them broken down. VW and other German cars seem to fail more often

[@talldude8155]

Because many people don't maintain their cars properly and mistakenly believe that a car's reliability is based on how long it will last without maintenance. They also don't use their cars the way the engineers intended. Just change the oil regularly and don't drive like a knob and your car will last.

[@iribell]

Got a 2007 1.25 with 161k miles so far, getting a new clutch tomorrow since it's just barely started to slip. It's still got the factory clutch and that's had.... more than it's fair share of burnouts and hard driving haha. Only mechanical problem I had was the head gasket went, but 700 quid and 8k miles later and it's still running mint. Most solid car I've seen with my own eyes and real cheap to repair too, see them all the time on the road still.

Several cars around this era where particularly robust. IMHO this was the tipping point when technology was robust and reliable and before too much technology was added to meet spurious EU Emissions rules. The Astra 1.6 and 1.8 petrols around the same time, Focus petrols, Mondeo petrols. All cheap and robust. Simple times. The interiors of Fords of this era where also almost indestructible .

I currently drive a 2005 three door fiesta 1.6 litre 5 speed manual with 312,000kms on the clock and it’s a wonderful little car! I got the car in 2019 and only payed $800aud for it, the car had 214,000kms on it at that time. It’s starting to cost more to maintain now but I love the car so much! I plan on driving it for as long as I can. My goal is to get to at least 500,000kms with this car. I’d say so far my car is one of the highest kilometre fiestas in Australia. Fiestas the same age as mine are starting to become something you don’t see often here so I’d love to keep the car going and maybe start taking it some all ford shows when I have done some body work and tidied it up a tad. Fiestas are awesome!

i have a 2006 one it needs a new steering rack (i think) and exhaust im just too lazy to do it

[@carukchannel]

steering rack not a bad job tbh, would be worth doing if the engine is good,

[@sraul1699]

@@carukchannel everything else is good tbh and under 80k miles! not sure how much a steering rack would be tho with the labour

[@Bates.N1]

Dont mind thse but I dont like the toilet plunger gear gaitor 😅

[@seanharris3217]

You’d be able to get 1150 for that depending on milage you’d get 750 easy

[@carukchannel]

The prices sean at the min its like sticking your finger in the air, 1150 sounds right for these times but i will no doubt bottle it and 995 it and kick myself when it sells in 48 hours 🤣thanks for watching and have a great Christmas

[@malachy1847]

@@carukchannel Selling feature would be a very straight rust free car, then that NEW Clutch fitted, and a Long MOT, plus those new tyres fitted and Oil Change and a mini valet the car it does already look very fresh for such an old car , whatever about the Mileage ... Honest cars are getting very scarce. Great Upload will be interested to see how long it takes to sell, [No time at all ]

[@poppyneese1811]

Our fiestas didn’t look as good in the States, I think she looks great and of course ours would have a auto which would be shot at that mileage, don’t want your car stolen here get a manual, the thugs can’t drive a straight drive, not sure why. I can’t imagine shifting with left arm, our Pastor went to Scotland and said you get use to it quickly.

[@carukchannel]

thanks for watching poppy, i guess they have bigger engines in the us fiestas also

[@Ready2GetOwned]

Hello, where do you put your cars up for sale. Do you have a website???

Did they do a 1L version of these?

later model uses a 1.0 called the eco boost engine, its very nippy engine but blows up alot and is still used in fords todau. we call them eco booms in the motor trade

[@philtucker1224]

@@carukchannel yes I’ve got one in my Mk3 Focus Titanium. It’s a lovely car and I’ve just reached 70k miles so I’m listening for the “boom” ! Happy days 🤣😂🤣😂

[@pauld7861]

Sounds bad mate as much as cars like this sell quick I’ve gave up trying to flip the cheaper stuff rather be around the £2500-£4500 market with £850+ margin in the car. You spend the same amount of time / prep on the car as you would the older buckets but yet at least there is a decent reward at the end

[@carukchannel]

i have found myself doing the same paul, but just cant help myself with the bangers keep getting offered them and just been flipping then for so long now. have a great 2023 trading paul and thanks for watching

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

I do the same 2 to 3k cars I found anything higher then that takes longer or they want it on hpi👍👍👍

[@rnbriley]

Have you got any holes underneath the car?

[@carukchannel]

should hope not 😁

[@rnbriley]

@@carukchannel sadly with my fiesta its got 80k miles and has 1 little hole on the drivers side but some how it passed the mot I bought it for £600

[@ichinisanyongo]

I recently bought one of this. It's in 327000 km 1.4 tdci not in a good condition and I paid about 10000 pound for this trash... Hello from Turkish car market.

[@carukchannel]

Hi MK 👍👍 Thanks for watching

[@mancavehobbies6213]

Wowwww proper expensive for a banger . Even if you fix it asking £700 is way too much . Cut your loss and scrap it.

[@carukchannel]

18 months ago I would agree with you, however near me there is nothing with Mot and in good order in the small car market for sub £1k, the days of £500 car with mot are gone, we will turn it around and it will sell without any issues, barmy I know 🤷

[@taxidmac5907]

Enjoying content only thing I would say u need to show cars in a better spot looks terrible

[@carukchannel]

Trying to find somewhere better that's not a million miles from the workshop or flooded with people who naturally become nosey when you have a camera out filming 🤣 its a tricky one taxi dmac. tried few different spots now I need to work out the best place really.

Those tyres on the Jazz could be 5 years old or more..you shouldn’t really be putting them on a car you plan to sell.

[@carukchannel]

the tyres are new or near as best, the oldest one is 2019

This is a hundred pound car

[@johnkettyle6321]

I would of just sold it on for my money back because if u had to pay a mechanic and buy tyres there would be no profit in it

[@deanplant1500]

Paid to much but with clutch and a service got to be worth 1500 to somebody so decent profit to be had yet

i thought it was expensive too but prices we are getting for them is far higher its just the new norm dean i think, thanks for watching bud
