I BOUGHT A CHEAP TOYOTA AYGO

In this video I bought a Toyota Aygo for £1800 from a local car dealer, join me as we take a look around my latest purchase and get it through the workshop. Can we turn this Aygo around and make some profit from it.

[@gumbo7215]

After 40 years of driving and owning dozens of cars and motorbikes I've bought a Peugeot 107. What a fabulous little motor. Great character, great fun to drive and as cheap as a car gets to run. It's got soul.

[@connashio1]

The clutch size was increased on the facelift model, this is now the only size available and the larger diameter lasts like a modern clutch should. Only the original smaller one wears quickly

[@marksouthwell4490]

I have the Peugeot 107 version. Mine has 112,000 miles on the clock and it runs really well / never misses a beat ( touch wood)

[@gumbo7215]

They're superb cars.

[@daviddawson9099]

Really enjoyed the video. Great little cars and good to hear all the common problems your looking for. Had the equivalent for the daughters c1 and 107 and mother in law had the AYGO. One had heating controls go, one had the clutch go, one battery. Washer motor, leak in boot But besides this just general wear and tear. Fantastic starter cars and so cheap to run. 0 tax and £20 tax. I would recommend one to any new driver.

[@brianiswrong]

The colour is king on the car. A young female driver will fall in love with the colour, mum and dad will be happy it's a toyota, decent mileage,decent spec and the front bumper repair will become invisible to them in 2 weeks. The laquer peel on the rear wing is the sort of blemish the driver will be told " get a quote from a mobile smart paint repair guy" and in her and dad's head will be a £200ish fix as a birthday/ graduation present. Is is missing a parcel shelf.

[@carukchannel]

Well said, I also think there will be a young driver out there for this. We will see this weekend when it goes up for sale. many thanks for the comment

[@marksouthwell4490]

Re the hazard light button, they improved this in later models . Anything post 2012 had new plastic buttons and they didn't crack . They also stuck in a new type of clutch

[@safdarrizvi9885]

Ive had 5 of these to date.The older ones cost £20 to tax.I agree these are perfect for a cheap city every day run about.Easy to park and manouvre through busy city streets.Parts are cheap.Cheap servicing.3 spark plugs and just over 3 litres of oil.C2/C3 5W 30 fully synthetic.Front wheel bearings are common problems on these.Another good video Liam.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks safdar, yes I really rate them as a cheap reliable car that's a decent drive

[@jairam.r]

I am from India, and I do follow a lot of UK motoring YT channels and recently came across your channel. I'll be honest here, I'm really loving your content - good explanation of the car and the work that you additionally put in before flipping it. Don't ask me why I am watching a UK based Car trading channel cause none of these cars are even available in the Indian market, but yeah honestly even I dnt know except for the fact that your content is really nice. Keep up the good work mate and do put more videos and best of luck !! :) :)

[@carukchannel]

Many thanks Jairam, great to see my content is being viewed outside the UK, thanks for watching

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Wow that's impressive 👍👍👍

[@nickolive5590]

I've owned 2 Aygos and these cars are really great to drive and cheap to run. The clutch needed replacing at 90k and cost 350 pounds and was done in a couple hours so your price was bang on. Great for a first car keep on top of oils and servicing and you can't go wrong. Will subscribe to your channel.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks nick, I agree with you, I don't think there is any other cheap form of motoring than a aygo / c1 / 107 great cars

Spot on with everything you said tbh. Aygo. Great long lasting car, watch for water leaking from brake light on back window into car.

[@carukchannel]

Yes your spot on, they do leak in the back, should of pointed that out, Many thanks for watching and comments wellibob

[@Yes-dd2rl]

Have the exact same issue at the moment. I thought it was coming from the rear lights but sealed them and still leaking so think it's the top brake light. Think a bodge job clear silicon seal will hopefully do

[@gsonz172]

My mother's 2014 Aygo also has that problem with water getting into the brake light, I'm wondering why Toyota didn't fix this with the newer generation. I hope that I won't have this problem with my new 2022 Aygo X.

[@ianrobinson9243]

New subscriber here , was a you tube recommendation as I subscribe to a lot of similar content. Was a good watch and I will watch your previous videos to catch up.

I've just bought a 2007 Aygo as a cheap runaround and I'm loving it, it's like a throwback to my first car. It's got some lacquer peel on the front bumper and a bit of a blow from the exhaust but other than that it's brilliant mechanically and drives great. Need to make sure I don't fall in love with it too much when the time comes to move it on. Really enjoying your content mate keep it up!

[@carukchannel]

Cheers for the comment, yes they offer real affordable motoring and are not dull to drive either. They suffer alot on the back box exhaust blowing so that might be where to look. Working currently on 2 more videos for next week including a real old school purchase so keep an eye out

[@mjsee08]

As someone who has ended up spending far too much on making cars as mint as possible, only for it to be essentially a waste of time/money/effort at the end I'd have done the same as you. It's a decent car - it'll probably be a first car for someone in truth so an iffy bumper really doesn't matter. If it were a more high end car then you can argue it's worth making as good as it can be but on a little hatchback it isn't worth it.

[@danielmosey6203]

You’ve done the right thing. The thing that gets lost generally in the valuation is time, which is also money. You sell a call that’s mechanically sound, the body condition 95% and you make the same profit (on paper) than making it 100% mint. You’ve made more money this way, without compromising the mechanical quality. Win win!

[@carukchannel]

thanks Daniel 👍

[@stevenham1937]

I think you’re spot on to sell as is. The price is right and I wouldn’t care about the few imperfections to get a reliable motor for that sort of money the way things are now.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks steve, yes was the right call, we sold it yesterday so worked out well, thanks for the comment

[@carukchannel]

All part of the lingo of a motor trader lol, just comes off the tongue after 17 years trading

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Love a bit of 'car trader slang'. Worked in an MG/Rover dealership in late 90s, early 2000s, and often made calls along the lines of "it's got a bit of leg on it, but all the stamps. New ticket, 6 months rent, new boots, hole in the roof, power, air, electric, hyde, bag of wind, and tunes & turns" when trading out part exchanges we didn't want to retail. Translation: High mileage, but full service history. New MOT, 6 months road tax, new tyres, sunroof, power steering, air conditioning, electric windows, leather seats, air bag, and radio & CD player". It was just the means to an end for me in those days, but looking back I don't half miss them. Smoking about in old Granadas and Rover 800s was great fun. Best trade in ever was a last of line Rover SD1 Vitesse V8 in near perfect condition against a new Rover 75 V6. He must have been mad, but he made my day. That car was awesome.

[@dazednconfused31337]

Back when my dad bought a G-reg Corolla liftback, the dealer ad said "as rare as hen's teeth" 😆

[@NightShooter87]

Good video. I think that's a wonderful car, it's lovely looking. I've always had big cars, but a couple of years ago, I bought an Aygo Platinum off a dealer for £2,999 with only 41k on the clock. I think this shape looks great and it's a lot of fun. Interesting you mention about the indicator stalk, had a few problems with that.

[@carukchannel]

Yes they are a decent car and offer cheap motoring that's not boring to drive, thanks for watching night shooter

[@Sir-Prizse]

My decision was between a 2012 Toyota Aygo and a basic 2012 VW up! (take up!) with hail damage and I have decided for the up!, because at 101,000 km it had done 120,000 km less than the Aygo for the same price. In the first year of ownership, I only had to replace the rear brake pads and the V-belt, otherwise a reliable little car. Perfect for the 17,000 km I drive in a year. It's a bit spartan with regard to the equipment, but if you want to get to work as cheaply as possible, this is the right car for you with 64 MPG.

[@carukchannel]

Sir prizse my 2nd option for a small reliable car would be the UP, they are just a little more expensive than a aygo but are 100% a decent cheap reliable car and will offer real value in the coming years . We never have any VW ups in for repairs other than standard wear and tear. Will look to do a video on one soon all being well

Agree, I recommend them to anyone who is after a small cheap reliable car, sadly most dismiss my advise and buy a corsa. Many thanks for the comment and the sub, means a lot

[@ferithedataguy]

@@carukchannel Kept an Aygo for 2 years just to make sure we have a car that's always available and usable :D Free road tax and cheap insurance means it didn't really cost us much. Sold it in July, with some battle scars on the front bumper. First person to come to view it bought it on the spot. I love Corsas too, they keep the local mechanics busy :D :D :D

[@carukchannel]

Corsa's keep my workshop busy, if I had to rely on fixing Aygo's I would be bang in trouble.

[@satianable]

Picture quality is fine good vdo.

[@thatcheapguy525]

agreed Lee. leave the paintwork alone, sort the tyre and exhaust, maybe a new 12 month ticket, wash & valet and move it on. the buyer could keep an eye out for an in-colour bumper and swap it themselves to improve the value of their purchase down the line. in a pricey market you don't want to sit on stock, when the market snaps back you could end up losing money.

[@carukchannel]

This is exactly what we did with it, sold straight away with the poor paint. Nice little profit made. Thanks for watching TCG 👍

[@johncallaghan4616]

First time viewer (now subscriber!) and liking what you do! I think the strategy of ‘minimal to shift’ for the Argo is correct, as, to be honest, some buyers really won’t care about the “blemishes” but will care about the cost to buy Keep ‘em comin” JC

[@carukchannel]

Thanks JC I will do, I agree the keep min strategy is the best approach and has served me well for alot of cheap cars to sell on over the years. More videos landing this week so keep a look out. and thanks for the Sub

[@pielight7449]

Definitely best strategy to service, new tyre, mot, sell. It is a perfect starter car, or runaround with low running costs and the lower price you can sell it for could well bring it into the price band of a lot of people who want something cheap, tidy and reliable, but being perfect is not a priority.

[@carukchannel]

My thinking too pielight, and its sold within a few days of this video so the right outcome. Thanks for watching and comment 👍

[@oscarcat80]

Definitely wouldn’t have done anything different. The car is mechanically sound which on this budget is all I would want. Think I would be more worried if a 12 plate city car didn’t have some minor damages on it . Really enjoyed this video, thanks for taking the time to make these

Just do basic regular maintenance. Regular change oil and filter Change every 6 months Tire Coolant Filter valves cleaning Brakes and tires Still running like brand new. Sadly we changed it to Toyota hybrid. Because for more range space and best gas mileage. My previous Toyota aygo is 60-70mpg. But this new hybrid 55-65mpg But has a long range of approximately 470 miles. This the best for long drive From U.K. to Norway Sweden and Finland for next year.

Most people my age want big flashy cars, lots of power, but I just want something that gets me to where I need to go, and it’s cheap as chips to run and tax too. Like I don’t need to have lots of power or all the mod cons as at the end of the day I’m driving and concentrating on the road, why should I spend a lot of money on a car that has lots of electrical things and has more power, when it’s just more things that could go wrong and could be costly to repair, at the end of the day all the cars do the same things, which is drive. Would always recommend this little bugs. Also, the groups and chats on Facebook always have answers to any questions of these cars.

I wouldn’t repaint the bodywork either. If I was looking to buy a good cheap car, those bits wouldn’t worry me. Its a good honest car. It’s a ten year old car so it’s not going to be perfect.😊

[@carukchannel]

Yes agree, we did not paint it in the end and sold it straight away which was great

[@Jayboy81]

To be honest I'm quite a picky person but for how clean the car is and the history I'd do exactly what you said and clean it up and flip it I think it will sell soon after 👍

[@micheals1992]

Am I the only one who sees this as the modern equivalent of the VW beetle? It's cheap, relliable and popular. Parts are also cheap and readily available. They're easy to work on too because they're just so simple. I think the most complicated part is the variable valve timing but even that is generally relliable. I've heard a few people have issues with the timing chain tensioners but that is pretty common on most cars with timing chains. I need to replace the valve cover seal on mine with 105,000 miles. It's only a seep but gives me a good excuse to have a feel of the timing chain tension and potentially check valve clearances which I skipped on the service interval as I've never had the valve cover off.

It sold within 48 hours this one ian, Guy was not bothered by the paint, just wanted a cheap reliable car that cost buttons to run. I don't think he could of done better to be fair, I mean if you cant afford run a aygo then you need a moped 🤣 Thanks for watching

Yes I have had a few with boot leaks but like you rightly say, easy to sort. Thanks for watching JD

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

I concur,sell it as it is ,i wouldn't even do a service to it since it was serviced 7 month ago and only done approximately 4000 miles,obviously new tyre and rear exhaust bracket replacement,and obviously a good clean internally and externally inorder to make it more presentable. Wouldn't bother with body work repairs .

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Would advertise it at £2550.00

[@carukchannel]

John your spot on, this is exactly what we did with the exception of the oil change, I get your point it was only seriviced 4k ago but it only cost us £15 with the oil and filter and our own time to sort and just gives less room for any potential punter to try and chip the price. Its going up for sale this week so I will keep the channel posted on when it sells along with other featured vehicles when sold, many thanks for the comment

[@micheals1992]

I've owned this very same car (2012 Aygo fire) since 2014. I bought it with 10,000 miles for £5,450... 8 years later with 102,000 miles on the clock now and it still runs great. The weakest point of this car for me is the exhaust system.... I'm on my 3rd rear muffler and had to replace the center pipe once so on the 2nd center pipe. I coated my muffler in silver exhaust paint before I fitted it so hopefully it'll last a bit longer. Just wish I'd thought to so the same with the center pipe! Its a bit of a family tradition to own cars until they die in my family, my uncle used to have a Ford Granada with 300,000 miles. I'm hoping my Aygo lasts that long to dispell the myth in my family that small engines won't last. I under body the seal the car with waxoyl based paint every year in areas that look like they could be problematic before and after winter, To hopefully prevent any issues arising.

[@carukchannel]

sounds like your taking good care of it, key points we see on the mot corrosion wise is the rear sills and inner arch area, hit them hard with some sort of protection like your doing and it should keep the nasty stuff away for long time. Your right about the exhaust back boxes we do change a lot of them, the engine produces a lot of water and seems to break the internals and rot out very quickly, however £60 for a backbox is not the end of the world. thanks for watching michael and the comment 👍

I came here, whilst looking for something else, as I have just brought a Toyota Yago. It’s not the first car in this model that I have heard. I had a citron C1 but someone run into that and totalled it it was parked I wasn’t in it. So I thought once I’ve got the insurance, it was best to go back and get the same car couldn’t find a C1 in a 14 plate so opted for the better option with a Toyota badge. Only cost me £3400. Only has 39,500 miles on the clock. Must’ve been driven by an old lady it did have one lady driver before me. When I checked the last service, it is recently had a new clutch and four new tires. So really, this is a bargain. Yes it was a good idea just to leave that car exactly how it was. No need to respray or paint.

The orange Aygo sells for more then the white and black ones of the same spec

[@TacticalKeyboardOperator]

injectors from a 1.6 yaris and a remap will take the hp above 90 which doesnt sound like much (standed being 67hp) but its power to weight what you feel and that takes it around 110hp per tonne a 1.8petrol focus mk1 hatch is 90hp per tonne .. roundabout not exact

This gen is cheap but have alot of problems.. many of the seals can be bad, so water gets though antenna, doors, hatch down to wheel well in the trunk.. and the clutch is just weak..same with the waterpump. Give a little more money and buy one from 2011 and after:)

Got an Aygo ice in April same year as this,, 43000k on clock, paid 4.250 for it and it's awful. Sounds very loud and tinny,, now boot is leaking soopping wet! And not covered by guarantee 😐

[@sarahrobinson410]

The car your selling is in pretty much mint condition If you repaired the bits you think don't look sharp may never turn out any better.. I bought a Vauxhall Astra 1.9cdti Twin Top hard top convertible 2007 it had a couple of scratches on it front bumper I honestly cannot see the point trying to paint match or do anything with. My Audi 2.7tdi estate the same It has more scratches than I ever imagined and some stupid BINT in a red fiesta caught my rear bumper which in turn has added more cost. My older Astra Convertible I actually bought that with rear quarter/bumper cracked damage 5 yrs back I still have never repaired it. And my High top Transit 14 plate I was going to buy a newer van and part ex it for a 21 plate Toyota Proace long wheel base.. They offered £3000 -£3500 I was pretty fed up its seriously a joke. All they would do is a quick service a good interior clean and jet wash with buff and sell it on his forecourt £6500.. That really annoys me You hit nail on head when you said You wouldn't bother with paintwork.. its slight in perfection expected of a car its age (battle scars).. Interesting content.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks for the comment sarah, you have got some vehicles there. Are you sure your not a car dealer 😊 Your right about the paint not being worth doing and we are selling as it is. Thanks for watching the video

[@cabottaxi]

Sell the car as is. It is 10 years old and not a new car. I would try it at £2695 and if the new owner wants it painted then charge them accordingly. Anything sub £3K is hard to find in good condition.

[@carukchannel]

We not long taken a deposit on it and we priced it exactly at £2695, your right anyhthing sub 3k we get on sale currently is just flying out. However mates in the trade selling the more expensive tackle have noticed a slow down. Thanks for the comment cabottaxi 👍👍

[@davidmiddleton3660]

I reckon £2395 is too cheap for that Aygo, as I bet the the ones at £3200-£3300 have the odd blemish, so maybe put on at £2695 and take £2500.......But I know you don't want it hanging around. Maybe the bumper is worse in real life.

[@carukchannel]

Hi david, yes the bumper was poor and didn't really show well in the footage, the aygo has now sold going up for £2495, your probably right in thinking we could of asked for a little more for it but room currently is at a premium so moving it on quick was key. Thanks for watching

I have no idea why the Aygo is worth more than a 107 or a C1. They come down the same assembly lines in the same factory using the same components except for some a few cosmetic pieces like grilles and lights. Do people think the Toyota is assembled by idiots using duff parts?
