To think I paid £100 eight years ago for my 1.6 diesel car.... And yes it's still going strong with 227 thousand miles on the clock.... Citroen knew back then how to make a good diesel engine. 😊

Far greener and good for the environment as all the energy and pollution caused at manufacturing stage, these people who think they are helping by selling their 5 year old car and buying a new one are completely clueless., hope it last longer for you.

I love watching this stuff especially the auction sales. It may be because I'm getting on a bit but please leave the price information for the vehicle visible for the entire length of the sale. I tried to remember the trade price range and the retail price but by the time I get to the end of the sale I forgotten them 😭

[@CarAuctionUK]

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks for showing a realistic auction experience, not just the winning bids. Super helpful to see which cars went for cheap and why you decided to pass on others. Liked! 👍

It seems like cars are at end of life around 15 years. My "new" car is 30 years old (1994 Toyota Celica) and my slightly older one is 52 years (1972 Hillman Avenger, granted it has cost some money to keep going). Cars just don't seem to be repairable any more. I was surprised to see a MK1 Ford Ka still going, utter rot buckets. It's not just around the fuel filler, you need to take the rear bumper off to see if there's any back end left.

[@joshb7415]

Cars are always repairable, but when a repair is as much as the car is worth there is just no point....

[@jonathanfrankel6787]

My MK1 Yaris is 24 years old and as reliable as the sunset. Tiny Little 1.0 engine , loads of space to work on, tyres £45 per corner . Thats why there are still loads left on the road

[@thatcheapguy525]

Lee mate, you're the best "I bought an Astra; I didn't really want an Astra." priceless! considering all Range Rovers are fat, a "full-fat Range Rover" must be a beast lol. £1000 for a car with high mileage and a couple of months MOT is quite a shock; had no idea the market had gone there...

[@tommy4244]

Was looking on BCA today and popped into a couple of the online auctions. I would say that 40% of the cars going through had gearbox problems, engine management lights or other problems. Most were selling for less than CAP clean but the fees and repairs eating into any profit.

Ever tried that G3 auction Lee? Evidently some dealers are saying there are good prices going through. And I remember back in the day you mentioned going to different auction halls, mind you, you did once and it had a bar in it🍺not forgetting the old car dealers rule, don’t drink and bid! hic.

[@carukchannel]

Yes I have been asked a number of times to go to G3 but not been as of yet. From What I can see they don't seem any cheaper than AB tbh. I have got some venues I am visiting this year so including some more local indi auctions

Hi Lee cracking video 😉 will be intrested to know what the focus was like when you got it home? Sills rear subframe corrosion . Rust is the biggest porblem on the focus the engines are good as long as they are not dirty diesels !! 😉

[@liveroom4235]

There will be a shortage of cars sub 10 yrars old soon because little or nothing was built bewteen 2020 and mid 2023 and then take out all the electric cars with knackered batteries and diesels which they want off the road and what will be left.

[@MrDuncl]

It was very difficult to find anything decent last year but I think production has gone back to normal. The local main dealer has just filled their overflow car park with 36 brand new Seat Leons. As every single one is white I can only guess that they are destined to be hire or fleet cars. Give it a couple of years and they will be reaching the used market.

Interesting to hear the comments about mileage, here, in France we see much, much higher mileages on vehicles but I think the difference is the lack of short journeys, plus people bus into the city rather than drive.

As a dealer myself, the situation when buying decent cars hasn’t changed at all, top cars, command, top money. Any small, engine, Fiesta, Polo, Corsa, Jazz, Fabia. Certainly 10 years or newer with average or below average mileage from my experience to go through the ring nearly £1000 over. .. it’s seriously tough out there.

[@safdarrizvi9885]

I was shocked at the prices of what should be the cheap cars at Aston Barclays Wakefield on Wednesday afternoon.I had a decent list of cars.Some of them were rough when seen in the flesh and they were still going for silly money.A lot of junk going through.Ended up buying my first Fiat 500 Lounge on a 2013 plate.Suprised at how nice it drives.

Hi Lee. I was just going to say your Wife would ❤ this Range Rover 😅😅. That C1 is lovely, it would get the customers into the Pitch all day long. It would sell with no worries. That X-type is what i drove when i was selling cars in London until 2017. It cost me £1300 for insurance (traders policy) back then Lee lol 😅. Nice Astra. An 08 Astra over here are €3000, Crazy in Ireland. JESUS!! £2800 for the C1. You could pay £3k for that C1 and took it over here and you would still double your money bro. Cars i would buy for £500 before Covid are now selling fast for £3k. Unbelievable!! Brilliant video. I love the Auction stuff. I get so pissed off everytime i watch an auction video Lee because of the cheap prices. We will have to to put our heads together and figure out how to get cars over here lol. Another headache coming on 😅😅. £1800 for an i10 + fees. They are giving away cars lol. 🚗. Not a bad Astra, there's afew quid to be had there. Nice Focus as well. Great video Lee. 😅 🇨🇮👋👋👋
