[@carukchannel]

Hope you enjoy my latest update 👍👍

[@amwcarsales4796]

Couldn’t send a link for Qashqai replacement radio please , similar issue with 11 plate Qashqai here , I’ve offered same to put upgraded one in , just wanted to make sure it fitted correctly. Thanks

[@stephenjones9153]

What's the world coming too 😢😢Scum bag's going around nicking bit's off your Car, 😢😢. I had my Wing Mirror cover nicked down South the other week and it cost £90 for a complete Mirror from a Scrap yard 😢. I also saw again down South in Alton Hampshire the entire front was nicked off a Landrover Discovery while parked in a Public Carpark.😢😢 I've lived in Liverpool most of my life and never had anything stolen not even a Wheel.

[@alistairjamesbanks6122]

Hi Lee, is there an updated discount code for the Topdon jump packs? Thank you.......

[@Badboykillrz]

Been genuinely surprised how honest you are about getting the cars mechanically sound for ur customers even when it eats ur profits, I know it saves them returning them but I bet u could cut a lot of corners if u really wanted. 👍

[@johnoneill1574]

LEE have you got a website or a number a pal could call to arrange to have a natter about something under 5K please. I've sent them link to your channel but realised there's no contact details Jb 👍

[@itstheterranaut]

I got an online buyer for our 08 Fiesta 1.4 last year. Great wee car, 1 year MOT, Ghia trim, FSH. The buyer left £100 deposit via bank transfer, and lived about 20 miles away and couldn't travel easily. No problem- gravel bike in the boot, drove to their house, did the deed, pedalled very pleasantly back home. Win/win.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

your bicycle comment reminds me of a farmer I knew when I was a child. He was at the agricultural show in Melbourne and decided he would by a Silver Cloud. he went in wearing his overalls and got treated like shit by the salesman. He withdrew and went to the Jaguar dealer and bought a Mark 10 which he picked up the next and drove to the Rolls dealer and offered to trade it in and then told them to get stuffed. A year later he bought a Rolls and a Bentley and he would take his prize winning ram to the local agricultural show in the Rolls (it paid for it afterall). Never judge a book by its cover.

[@desdicadoric]

Same thing happened to my Dad, as he’s an old dude he was seemingly dismissed by the sales guy, went across the road and bought a brand new fully tricked out 4x4 cash down from the dealership across the street and gave the otter sales guy the one finger salute driving away

[@davidrmcmahon]

I love your banter with gate man!

[@damianleah6744]

You probably don’t have too many comebacks because of your prep work. Great vlog as always 👍🏻😎

[@skimmingstoness]

Some people think it's the dealers responsibility to maintain the vehicle for 6 months even stuff like wiper blade, filters etc they are just lazy and ignorant

[@scotty6346]

Lee does seem to give his cars a good old going over before sale 👌

[@stephencave187]

Lee, carry on with the sub 2k runabouts. You're a man of the people. 👌🏻

[@craigjob6932]

Cracking pitch update looking forward to the year anniversary video

[@Jenks1]

Love your style of videos. What a job to have, just fixing up all sorts of different cars!

[@carukchannel]

Thanks, yes always something different coming in 👍

[@johnmcmahon4364]

Great video again Lee surely retail the MIini it looks great ok high miles but for a person doing 4 to 5000 py would be a good buy

[@nealterry5]

Congratulations on your 1st year trading from the Car Pitch and happy anniversary to you and your wife.

[@carukchannel]

Thank you!

[@wayneo1234]

Another smashing video Lee glad sales have improved for you onwards and upwards 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@RandomDude-l5f]

Back in the day, I rocked up to a used car lot on my bike and paid cash for an Astra 1.2 Estate, put the back seats down and threw my bike in the back (for my fishing vehicle), so there is always an exception to the rule :)

[@gerryattrickbiker]

You are quite right to stick to what you do best, I started the same way many years ago. I had aspirations to sell newer stuff only to discover youve laid out twice the money just to make the margin and still spent the same on preparation.

[@kenmoore589]

That white Kia Sportage will be a very well sorted car when finished.

[@peterconnor4193]

That volvo was nice

[@neildutton8077]

I remember, a long time ago, a man on a 🚲 walking around the lot at the vauxhall dealer. The other salesmen ignored him. I went out, talked to him and ended up with a cracking deal.

[@mickymac6571]

£5000 is a Budget car,,that's high end for me..!

[@desdicadoric]

Me too, I can’t imagine having 5k spare lol

[@fuckthis81]

The price of second hand cars has went sky high. I sold a couple of our family cars a few years ago due to getting a company vehicle and also downsizing. The same cars are selling for almost the same money now!! It's madness. Gone are the days of a decent £1000 auto trader "bargain buy" lol.

[@volt8684]

2500 for me and still do ok

[@shatbad2960]

Got a low milage E90 330i for that 8.5 years ago. Inflation is a hell of a drug!

[@jakebatty530]

​@@desdicadoric you can finance a 5k car, up to 5k is the more affordable range but bear in mind 5k is the limit, you'll see plenty below that which are decent

[@henrykravitz468]

Great video and content. Got some decent stock on sale. I wish James would do a few more expensive cars, but he is happy with cheap ones. Have a great weekend

[@phillipthebigj8971]

Nice David Bellamy impression 👍in the intro😂

[@86karl]

Been a yr already congratulations on your 1st year keep it up lee

[@adrianwalsh896]

Nice one Lee and congratulations on your first anniversary. Best of luck going forward...❤

[@ianmontgomery7534]

I like the colour on the Mini - it really suits it.

[@geoffoliver6788]

Hi Lee, my son & daughter in law both have a 14 and 15 Kia and Hyundai diesels neither of them have a 3rd gear. Apparently it is a very common fault that the 3rd gear baulk ring splits, I just hope they dont totally disintegrate and do damage to the actual gears.

[@adriancarter825]

Your pre sale prep is second to none , dealership prep half the time is just wash em

[@Finerdetailsuk]

would love to see a bit of an internal refurb vid, freshen the place up and make if feel more welcoming. love the channel

Your right, also need to update the main sign as currently using a temp banner

Happy 1st Anniversary Lee...Open and honest will always work and that's why you've been a big success at "The Car Pitch"....(and at your previous premises)...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Glad your sales have carried on picking up as well Lee and here's to plenty more this month!!!...🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Well done Lee...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jonathanb4847]

Well done on your first anniversary Lee. Always enjoy your down to earth content 😊

Outstanding video Lee - I always love watching your update videos (all of the videos actually lol). I love the stuff you doto make sure customers are well looked after. Well Done!!

Hi Lee love your videos, true to life keep them coming.

🚴🚴🚴🚴 you see him here you see him there. At the car pitch

[@thatcheapguy525]

Li, just realised, I was a 'man on bike' back in 2013 when I came home from a decade in Asia. rode around the car sales sites in Portsmouth (I'm cheap and riding a bike is cheap transport lol) ultimately buying a W168 1999 A-Class. the bike went in the back a treat 😀. thanks to having to do almost every suspension bush for the MOT the trader caught a cold with it; come to think of it he always seemed to have a cold or flu or something every time I met him... btw, Jaaaaag video

[@carukchannel]

Man on bike buys a car TCG, pictures or it did not happen 🤣👍

[@thatcheapguy525]

@@carukchannel lol. I might be able to muster a picture of me and the car but not the buying process. back then if you filmed the process the trader would probably think you're Trading Standards lol

[@Andy-xb5kl]

Great video definitely keep selling the cars your selling there great cars with great prices

[@hojo9115]

Always good to see man on bike updates . He's becoming part of the surroundings now, maybe he wanted that yellow fiat you scrapped

[@KipKippax]

Looking forward to seeing you make the Gate Man's day again soon ! Did he not have a holiday ? might have cheered him up

[@paulclarke7461]

Another great video Lee

[@diydave3034]

Correct about the blue Mini - the sunroof was a pretty rare option. Mileage shouldn’t be a problem as the Leeds specialist I use (for stuff I can’t fix) says they’ve seen them with 250k+ miles. I think I see more Gen1s (like yours n mine) than Gen2s tbh. Go on, you know you want to retail it!!

[@andynightingale7335]

Glad things have picked up a bit Lee. 👍

[@Pauljn67]

Great video Lee. The gate man at Prees is a legend! :-)

[@darrianwilson6545]

You're certainly successful in your current lane of sub £5k With the cost of new and 5/6 year old cars being where they are I think it's natural that people will look around the prices you offer. I used to work on the premise that you'd need to save a grand a year to replace your car with an equivalent one year younger car, it's now a lot more than that and bringing lease cars into reach. Glad the sales have picked up for you 😃

[@Kaybe-i6f]

I always enjoy your videos and find them entertaining and interesting.

[@LeeAllen-lq7ml]

A year already...bloody hell

[@steffydog]

Great work, thanks Lee.

[@marklittler784]

Yeah need to heat stickers up before removal, I've made that mistake of just pulling them off.

[@stewartsmall4588]

All the best on your first year in Trading at car pitch 🎉🎉 Enjoy watching your videos. STEWART from Dundee Scotland 😅😅

[@carukchannel]

Thanks stewart 👍

[@richardpickering2452]

If i lived closer Lee i would have peddled over and bought that C30 🤣😂 Nice car.

[@skodakatie7341]

Glad to hear business is picking up for you Lee. Great video, as always. Beware of another visit from man on bike😂.

[@scotty6346]

Just re stripe the blue mini with a silver stripe Lee to cover up the lacquer peel 👍 It wouldn't put me off an 06 Mini if it was priced right, Someone will buy it.

[@E92M3Guy]

As the recession progresses, I can see a market for the categorised cars, people that want cars under market value . You could even call it categorised corner for cars under market value, on your pitch and make it a selling point, just a thought. 👍

[@LfKoda]

Live down the road about to come on my bike to check stock haha 🎉

[@carukchannel]

We will move you on 🤣

[@JamesTargett-um4dm]

Yes, great video as usual. Your preparation of vehicles is very thorough and knowledgeable. I know you are very busy but could we have an auction video if your going there soon please?

[@cedhome7945]

I worked at a big bike shop and a friend came up to see me at the parts counter, I've just told your floor manager he lost a big sale and then flashed a huge wad of cash ....he owns a lorry firm and popped in to look around but the rude ignorant salesman would not approach him as he was wearing old jeans and a dirty t shirt......if you judge people sometimes you loose out to prejudice...

[@DanielGallivan-qt3fz]

Nice update Lee, not had much chance to watch lately. Some nice cars in and out, top prep as always. Sorry but the missing bumper off the Corsa made me laugh. Some horrible gits about. Can't believe it's been a year since you've been there 🎉

[@markbro4427]

I've been told to never touch a Mini😂.. Sportage's can be very scabby around the back end, subframe/arms /disc covers etc....had a 2016 to do rear brakes on, bits of rust just fell off it😂 Hubs need to come off to do parking brake shoes....bolts all rotten. If you ever get a Mokka with the brake pedal going to the floor in hot weather Vauxhall will fit a new brake booster/servo for free (up to 10 years old....theres a recall bulletin but only if the owner complains....just got one done for a friend.

[@davidmarshall5596]

Best thing ya can do sticking to £ 5k max cars & below, especially now as things are deteriorated under this new regime, people will be holding fire spending much on things, especially cars, so you havr have got it nailled 😊🎉

[@MariaMadden-d1d]

Congrats Lee on the 1st year of trading!! You are a decent chap seliing decent mootors!!

[@dhes2809]

Man on bike scare 😂😂

[@davewhittles]

everytime a man on bike comes you should have a couple of bikes to put out lol

[@craigdaly5111]

Can’t believe it’s been a year already that’s bonkers! Congrats on the progress you have made. You know better than me but you’ve built up a good loyal customer base. I’m wondering if you go to a higher price point you may alienate the people you have..? I like that you offer different cars I think that was the right call it keeps things interesting. One day a load of us should turn up here on bikes and make it an Annual event..we need tea and cakes though…!

[@joaofarinha7953]

I have recently bought a Nissan Qashqai 12 plate, that happened to have the same problem with the radio, (although the radio itself worked). The problem was with the LCD display of it, you couldn't see a thing, and it turns out it's a common fault of these radios.

[@carukchannel]

Yes they do have issues with the screen, its just cheaper to fit a new apple system for £50 than fix it

[@timsa7181]

will you do video on your blue maserati? i would like to hear your thoughts about them!

[@eddiereed5025]

1 year where did that go !!!

[@davidstevens1547]

Nice that things are moving for you and the team. Things have changed but given the way you treat cars before you sell them is testament why people come back and recommend you. When is the video coming on your Maserati? I ask this as my wife thinks I should consider one and apart from a second cousin who had one many years ago I know little about them. You say yours is reliable but are they that expensive to look after? When are you going to get round to tidying up the paintwork in the office and the workshop. I know you are busy but you said you were going to do some work round the Pitch to improve it some while ago. Always enjoy your videos. Amazing you have been in a year now. 👍👍

[@stewartturner814]

Great video as always. Will be interested to see the ix20 you have got coming in . Wife has one for her work as a podiatrist which it is great at . Big boot and not too large to park . Unfortunately I put her off the Kia Venga by calling it a Venga bus 😂 Don't know which is the better car ?

[@carukchannel]

They are both the same, just slight style differences

[@graemew7001]

If I didn't live over in County Durham I'd be buying my next car off you because I know I'd get a good car at a good price and be able to trust it. Something like the Dacia or i10 would suit me, I would say Panda too but I've got a good one (so long as it doesn't fail its MOT on the back axle next month!) that's white with 125k on it so be no point in in trading up lol.

[@QuietMan7755]

Great video again Lee , thank you. what model is your Maserati ?

[@carukchannel]

Granturismo, thanks for watching Quiet man

[@markallen7443]

Bloody hell........a year already 😱😱

[@fox3shooter]

Just got a fiesta with 1.25 engine for the daughter, the salesman said that this engine was bad and I should have went for the 1.0 as it was more economical and more powerful than the 1.25. Thanks to you I stayed away from that 1.0 ecoboost. Is the 1.25 generally reliable ? It has 60k and has good history.

[@JammNickk]

The zetec engines can be be noisy, but a well taken care of one will keep you going. Sounds like s good purchase.

[@stepheng8779]

Most importantly with that blue Mini, give him a little bit more see him right - he's a returning customer, he'll be back again 👍

[@UnusSedLeo-w5l]

Man on bike! Lol! Lee, I don't a Toyota Yaris in your stock. How's the trade on these?

[@MichaelCann-z6m]

Not sure but have you discussed the white Mercedes. Keep seeing clips of it and think it looks okay. Would like to know a bit more about it.

[@carukchannel]

Will Cover next video

[@eddivens4915]

I like the blue mini Lee sadly I am to far away to come buy it off you anyway keep up the great videos

[@carabara3947]

Always Wondered If That Bonnet Was A Panhard Or A Triumph Herald Idea

[@mduckod992]

I love my older cars, had a 2015 mitsubishi outlander and due to unfortunate circumstances I had to downgrade, got myself a 2010 mk3 grand scenic with 100k miles on it (1.5 diesel). 4 years on and nearly 80k miles extra all its needed is consumables and a clutch, still going strong and never missed a beat. Doesn't owe me a penny, I paid £2k for it off a local dealer and I know now it's not worth a lot, so I'll run it to the axels. Got through MOT without a single advisory in June

[@MoToManiaKvlog]

Do you have a website with your cars??

[@caygoandspecialist]

"man on bike" one day you might do a deal 😅 part ex to clear = pushbike, 3 speed, recent chain, any trial, ready to pedal away today, offers 😅😉

[@alisonjones9089]

[@MarkJones-gk5nb]

Hi Lee am looking to buy a 1 post car lift,I notice you got one,can you tell me what it's like and the model you used thanks mark.

[@carukchannel]

Its a Automotech ramp, I have had it for 8 years in this business and my last business (we brought it over) other than the odd blown fuse its been great. Its been used near every day bar sundays 😁👍

[@happysporran]

Looking forward to the gate man😂

[@desdicadoric]

Volvo was nice, I wouldn’t touch a mini, they are a nightmare (so expensive) to do anything on

[@carukchannel]

Earlier ones give less hassle on the engine side but suspension issues can be costly such as the suspension arm bushes which is a subframe off job

[@semiretired86]

man on bike can be looking if the cars hve a tow hitch (he looked o at the Kia Cee'd meaby you can do a collaboration with Chops? looks like he's got cars in the same pricebracket as you have

[@Grah-66]

So, in my view - - the Mini. Be better off (and more cost effective) if you simply apply stickers on the bonnet, but tell the prospective buyer. I 100% guarantee they'll appreciate your honesty if you're up front about why the new stickers are on it, after all it's what, 18 years old - - - - - what would you expect n an older car?? Showroom condition?? Honesty is always the best policy.... it'll build a good reputation

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Someone i know does car valeting for a business hes always busy he also has a car wash as hes English people seem to prefer to use him. Hes always getting offered cars & will buy & flip. The other day a customer came in basically bought an 08 107 XS sport immaculate inside & out with 90,000+ miles for 550 the owner had bought another car and was offered £400ish for it . Anyway car looks great hes going to ask £950 for it , car still has an mot until February. You do right sticking to what you know lee. The mini id put a stripe on it £950 no warranty .
