I bought a cheap £400 Renault clio

This video shows me buying a cheap renault clio from eBay and selling on for a profit and also doing the repairs required to get it roadworthy

Good video. You were too generous to your friend. I would say it was definitely worth £1,500 all day long. A ULEZ compliant car. There didn't appear to be any rot on the body nothing a tidy, clean and polish couldn't sort out. 130k miles with a new cam belt and tensioner bearing and full service, good tyres. Free motoring for your mate for several years. You let it go far too cheap. Oh well lesson learned.

It’s a profit that’s all that matters. Good video thanks for posting. It will make someone a good runabout for a bit.

Very good vid. You were honest about your spend on materials and hours of work. We all look at old cars for sale and reckon with a bit of spit and polish there's lots of money to be made. The end product looked fantastic, Your family friend was the winner in this one.

@@bestysbits2071 Breakers yard prices have gone completely crazy now, as have all prices. A few years ago my local breakers (Ray's) would have charged a couple of quid for that wiper linkage, fiver at the most if it looked as good as new. In fact the guy would have given it to you if you were a regular. For example, he would have half a dozen Astra's in, keep them for a week so people could pick the bits off them and then strip them and ship them out. A complete wheel with often nearly new tyre £3 each, complete nearly new exhaust for a fiver, complete set of brake shoes including all springs and clips for a quid, pads, bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and leads for a quid or free. Then they would strip the car, engines in one skip, gear boxes in another and then the body shells would go onto a small truck 2 at a time and taken away. He would stack the cars 3 high quick turnover, the place was always full of people and they were all happy. The breakers down the road had a big piece of land where all the cars were spread out and not stacked. They would keep the same cars for 2 years until they rusted. They were so expensive . Ray knew how to do it and he retired early, they were great days. He's bored shitless now though. I used to buy accident damaged salvage cars to do up and sell but they're so expensive now it's just not worth it. Enjoyed the vid and am now new subscriber.

I love bangers. People are throw away now, can afford a better car and get one. Got 17 yr old berlingo petrol zero faults a lovely car to drive. Not rusty, paintwork lovely. Burns no oil or water. Most people turn their noses up at it but i bought it 8 yrs ago for £2200 @60k miles now just short of 100. Maintain all myself, did the cam belt/ water pump myself using u tube and was surprised at myself. I bought it for the sliding doors to transport my Dias led folk around. Been borrowed by everyone. 3 piece suite in it, double bed. What a car.

Easier to buy something new on finance than to repair the older cars

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

​@bestysbits2071 so true but annoying its a throw away country 😮

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

If u didnt do the cambelt you would have made a tidy profit we all learn great editing 👍
