No probs, I will have update video on this car in the coming week or so

[@robertfalls4673]

Enjoy your video's Lee, keep em coming. Car prices are ridiculous atm, wish I could source a half decent car, like you do for the prices you buy at. My Fiesta is coming to the end of its life, won't put anymore money into it, June and the MOT is up, so will be on the hunt. Was thinking auction, but seen the high prices they are going for on one of your January vids, I know they are more expensive in January, but it put me off, also you don't get the benefit of a test drive

[@carukchannel]

Yes there is alot of pitfalls buying a auction, thanks for watching Robert and for the kind comment. 👍👍

[@garyhockaday8022]

Really liked your knowledge of the c4 and rating it to a focus .. I thought it was more than a generous the ,,offer you gave .. that’s all ways a risk at £850 to ,,myself… for a car with that mileage added in ..

[@carukchannel]

Yes but I with cars and opportunity to buy stuff so difficult currently I had to take a chance on this one. All being well it will release some profit, thanks for watching gary 👍

[@NB_NB_NB]

Nice wee win over the Corsa 🤣 WBAC, any online offer should expect to be halved in person. Fingers crossed it's just the oil cooler. Any chance of seeing some of the work being done in the workshop? I find the dirty work as interesting as the buying & selling. Good promotion for Just the Ticket too

[@carukchannel]

Thanks NB yes the youth never learn in these 1.2 corsa's, 😁 I am trying to get some more of the workshop content in slowly. I will cover the repairs in the next video, thanks for again NB .

[@barryrathbone]

Always liked the C4 a great comfortable car. The 1.6 needed special oil if I remember from my C3 Picasso. KY reg probably started irs life as a rental

[@carukchannel]

Yes 5w30 C3 (low ash) to be fair its a very common oil now as most cars are low ash but few years back your spot on barry it was special oil option and was a little expensive

Yes I did not find out what she got offered, I would guess £500, so no wonder she ripped my hand off at 850

We buy any car is only useful if you need rid of a car really quickly for whatever reason. Never ever go to them as a selling option they always give you less for it.

[@wakeup2theNWO]

@@techgamer1597 Years ago on KZbin I seen a video about wbac and this lady's elderly mother took a car there, I want to say it was a fiesta but cant say 100%, it was 2 or 3 years old and was on literally a few thousand miles definitely under 10,000 the car wasn't even run in yet and they gave her something silly like £4,000 for it, they ripped her right off the scumbags

U so calm. Me shitting self😁. My current car 6 yrs a Citroen bought as a banger. 30k only done back box and front discs and pads. Car drives lovely

[@vangestelwijnen]

Nice car! I must admit.... Budget tyres and that's the only contact you have with the road. I always spend more on better brands that will bring me home.

[@carukchannel]

Yes I am going to do a video on budget tyres soon, there are some decent budget tyres these days but your right some people buy a tyre at £50 when there is another brand for £59 that will last 50% longer and better grip rating. It annoys me when my customers don't see the benefit and saving.

Hmm I’m thinking with the freezing weather and topping it up with straight water this one could be a disaster Lee. Hopefully it’s something and nothing but you’ve certainly taken a leap of faith in this one. 😊

The 1.6 petrol is a little underpowered but is a perfectly decent enough engine for the juke. Thanks for watching

[@cabottaxi]

Doesn't look too deadly. Past mot's throwing up suspension components etc but nothing really bad for mileage.

[@matthewgodwin3050]

Nothing in life scares me quite so much as an old Citroen with high miles, no service history and an owner very keen to sell. It's truly terrifying. Hope it works out for you Lee. I'll say a little prayer for you before bedtime, and I'll keep my fingers crossed too. Suddenly, that statuary 6 months feels like 6 years. Best of luck fella 👍

[@carukchannel]

To be honest if we fix the water leak and it holds temp ok, will use that diesel up to find out 😁then I would not be to worried. The longest claim on CRA I have had was just over 4 months on a bmw 3 series we sold for 1.8k some years ago. The guy had covered 3k in the car and was trying to claim for a leaking radiator which was clearly wear and tare, I dug my shoes in on that one and told him to go politely away and take responsibility for his car, he did not agree but lucky for us the district judge did. 👊

[@taniapeters2331]

I've just brought citron c4 automatic diesel vtr 2010..apparently year mot.. Got it for 1000..needs a shock on back left.. Gears are all out of sync.. I'm wondering how it past mot ..

[@carukchannel]

the gearbox is not Mot related, as for the shocker the standards for shockers are it must be a serious leak to fail a mot, a worn out shocker that has limited damping could still pass a mot but would be advised if noticed by compertant mot tester

[@stephenbirds5169]

You needed to offer £550 and walk away, bling is not the thing dealing in used motors. Low, low, low £, walk away every time. It will come right eventually. Good luck pal

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

I never understand why people go to wbac its the biggest rip of ever why why why 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@brianiswrong]

Because it easy. I suspect this citroen would not sell privately (other than spares or repair) and then somebody is going to want to steal it(circa £450) as Lee says it could be anything from a joint on a pipe to a cracked head, a private buyer is going to assume the worse, talk about how expensive it will be to repair and offer peanuts. The seller appeares to just want rid of it ASAP.

Hi there loads of angry, to be fair cabottaxi makes a decent shout with a aygo/c1/107 if your looking to spend 3k under but it must be the 998cc engine.
