Flipping Cars From Home - £2000 profit from a 17 year old Mazda MPS

[@benduke4454]

So glad you put some tyre dressing on after fitting the painted wheels. Dirty tyres on a clean car are a major trigger!

[@drivewaylife]

1000% agree with that

[@fibelow]

Looks great! If you have more time you can wet sand the touch ups with fine wet and dry paper, then machine polish and it hides them better.

[@drivewaylife]

100% I try to put a bit of lacquer normally aswell

[@MartinMagee-q2r]

Thanks for taking the time to up load this video. Very informative

[@MartinMagee-q2r]

Can u buff down the touch up bits to blend it into the surrounding paint.

[@drivewaylife]

The paint shrinks down then you can put lacquer over the top then buff it to flatten and blend, this can take hours,

[@MartinMagee-q2r]

@@drivewaylife can u not just put an extra coat then the kaquer

[@drivewaylife]

Depends on the size of the touch up

[@MartinMagee-q2r]

Loving the content bro 😎 when is the next upload?

[@drivewaylife]

I'm aiming for every Sunday

[@gregmitchell5594]

Matt black wheels was definitely the way to go, gloss would have been too much. Well done 👏

[@drivewaylife]

I agree with that,

[@videoshares]

Mazda looks great, lots of elbow grease and the transformation by the end of vidoe is amazing.

[@drivewaylife]

Appreciate it so much

[@teddyblazer5824]

Get an impact driver for removing wheels bud, as it was painful seeing you manually using a wrench. Great video!!!! 👍

[@drivewaylife]

There is so much I need to get 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mark-l1f3g]

You might want to invest in a pop up Gazebo to work under with the unpredictable UK climate👍👍

[@drivewaylife]

Definitely going to get one soon as it's only going to get worse through January and February

[@grupposoleblufranto7971]

I got it out in a very, very satisfactory way please Where can I find excellent detail tools used at a good price? The most important tools and how to choose them according to your experience. Example polishing machine and drill Thank you ❤😊❤😊

[@drivewaylife]

Any decent drill will work don't go for a £30 they don't have enough power, Polishers are not my strong point I'd youtube search polisher reviews

[@grupposoleblufranto7971]

As for the drill I saw that it is recommended to buy from 500 Newton torque or more​@@drivewaylife

Any recommendation on cheaper 1st year of traders insurance?

[@drivewaylife]

[@Tom_Mills]

You need to be taking your advert pictures in more of a neutral setting, less distractions in the background, it’ll give a professional look 👍🏼

[@drivewaylife]

100% going to try and find a decent place next week

[@willjones4379]

Didn't you use to go to a carpark and take nice pictures?

[@drivewaylife]

@willjones4379 ye I'm just struggling for time and dark at 4pm, it's my last week at the dealership so moving forwards I'm going to find a nice place

[@willjones4379]

@drivewaylife good luck mate. Your going to smash it 💪

[@Stylux-Cars]

I believe you are heading in the right direction. Impressed by how you prepped the Mazda. It's a challenge prepping a car in winter with the weather and dark against you. Photos in natural but clean backgrounds do help. wish you well

[@andriusGNR]

Dont understand why you call your home drive way a retail lol.

[@drivewaylife]

I'm a home dealer, so it's not private its a retail sale,

[@andriusGNR]

@drivewaylife what are you talking about, selling cars from your drive it isn't a retail. Are you saying that you give legal by law 6 months warranty on these couple cars you have on your drive lol? I doubt it, that's what dealers separated from car flippers. Nothing wrong with buying and selling, but you sound funny calling using big name as a retailer lol. I have 5 cars on my drive but would never call myself a trader or retailer lol, it's a car flipping.

[@drivewaylife]

@andriusGNR that's were we are different, I have ran a 20 car dealership for 7 years I'm now offering dealer services from home, So to answer your comment yes they get warranty I'm all set up as a ltd dealer, website and soon I will offer finance. I'm trying to give dealership services on a small scale not just flipping a few bits,

[@drivewaylife]

In the UK, if you are selling cars as part of a business (even if it’s a small-scale home dealership like yours), you are legally required to provide a warranty or consumer protection under certain conditions. Here's a breakdown: Key Points: Consumer Rights Act 2015: Cars must be "of satisfactory quality," "fit for purpose," and "as described" at the time of sale. If the car develops a fault within the first 30 days, the buyer has the right to reject it for a full refund. After 30 days but within 6 months, the law assumes the fault was present at the time of sale unless you can prove otherwise. You must repair or replace the car, or provide a refund. Warranties vs. Consumer Guarantees: A warranty is an additional promise, often provided by the dealer or a third party, offering to fix certain issues within a specified period. While you're not legally required to provide a formal warranty, you are still responsible for ensuring the car complies with the law. Many dealers include a short warranty for peace of mind and as a sales incentive. "Sold as Seen" and Trade Sales: You cannot use "sold as seen" to avoid liability unless you’re selling exclusively to another business. If selling to private buyers, you remain responsible for the car's condition, even if sold cheaply or with known faults (which must be disclosed). Tips for Compliance: Be Transparent: Clearly describe the car's condition and any known issues in writing. Offer a Basic Warranty: A 30- to 90-day warranty covering major components can build trust and reduce disputes. Get It Checked: Pre-sale inspections or diagnostics (e.g., using tools like your Topdon TopScan) can help document the car's condition. Would you like suggestions on affordable warranty providers or tips for managing buyer You are a retail trader

[@Lynnpjjbdndji]

So you're a trader avoiding consumers rights by selling private !!!!! And you post it lmao

[@drivewaylife]

I'm not avoiding consumers rights, everything I do is clear and honest

[@techlessman2162]

Good work, hope you get a quick sale 🚗🔧🧰👍

[@drivewaylife]

It sold straight away
