I BOUGHT A CHEAP ZAFIRA AT AUCTION, AND FORGOT ABOUT IT

[@split_pin]

The gate man is a character, strikes me as someone who likes make out he's grumpy but is actually a good sort 😅

[@carukchannel]

He is exactly that 👍

[@scotty6346]

Love your content Lee! The nitty and gritty of a car dealers job!

[@stevenmoran4060]

Had a Zafira when they first came out, great car and converted from 7 seater to van in a minute. Remember buying a washing machine and tumble dryer with 2 kids with me and the sales man said you won’t get them in the car with 2 kids as well. Took a couple of minutes to prove him wrong with plenty of room to spare!

[@leedstown]

Lee your a braver man than me, if that needs a rack, a clutch, fair chunk of paint, possible suspension bits I would have sent it back through the auction

[@carukchannel]

Will give you a update on it soon, tbh its all gone well so far, should come in under 1900 done and looking well for 2995

[@bantamNeil12]

Great video Lee as usual...Looking forward to seeing this all done and on the pitch...Won't be around for long no doubt as these always sell well being 7 seaters...Good looking vehicle as well are the Zafira and popular...Good buy with great profit margin (just keep the paint mans costs down 😉)...Keep up the great work Lee and look forward to some auction footage soon for your restock of the pitch...👏🏻👏🏻

[@johnbirmingham7772]

Great video You need to get the gate man on more often 😂😂😂 He is class 👍👍👍🚘

Full of banter the gate man

[@danpeters5028]

I once brought a cheap van off my brother and I forgot about it for over two years 😂 I think the petrol zafira is definitely better than the diesel just less problems

[@hojo9115]

Haha abandoned vehicles may be forcibly removed, that cracked me up good video brave man taking on that zafira

"Never in doubt." Gotta put that on a T- shirt. Love it. 👍

[@carukchannel]

Tempted 😁👍

[@PhilHoganPhotography]

Got the same zafira 2012 inclusiv one of the best cars i have owned, I Bought it in 2021. The only problem is the sounds on the indicators and seatbelts are missing which apparently is quite common on these. The Lamba sensor was definetly a problem although i have only changed this once in the 3 years and are only about £15-£20 and easy to replace yourself. Also cam sensor changed to another easy and cheap job. these are definetly a multi use car and cheap to run

Hah, I remember working at the BCA, one guy kept buying 2-3 a week and parked them outside for months. BCA finally got them towed in the end!

Nice video Lee, thanks. If that was the gate man when he's happy I dread to think what he's like when he's miserable. Stay well 👌🏻

[@carukchannel]

He is ok really, funny bloke to be fair

[@kevinmoffatt]

Was in road haulage for a long time and I think gatemen all train in the same place. Attitude varies from abject misery to 'if I ignore you perhaps you'll go away". Booking in at transport office usually even worse; waited to tip at Costco in Croydon once and, despite repeatedly calling back to office to query delay, it wasn't till they all started leaving that it became apparent that I had been forgotten.

[@davidjones8680]

Another great episode.

Hi Lee. Interested in something like this as after a seven seater. Thoughts on other 7 seaters and your recommendations. Always had Japanese/Korean cars in the past. Quite like the look of an Elgrand but money is tight. Enjoy your content.

Mazda 5 is a good shout,

[@welephant2013]

Is it r8ght tnat zafiras are porche made because vauxhall couldnt stop tbem from flexing?

[@tardeliesmagic]

That Zafira will sell quick i'm sure. I can't stand those silly carpet mats in any vehicle 😆

[@kingsknightuk]

i owend a 2013 Zafira and it was the worst car I've ever owed! It was in the repair shop more than i had it on the road! I bought it with 19k on the clock and sold it with 59k on the clock. it needed so much work on it, it was unreal! I kept thinking "Right this is the last thing that can go wrong with it" then a few months later something else would go. I had this cut out issue were the car would randomly cut out for a split second, it was like the car would turn itself on and off for a split second. £1200 later and it was the ECU..... I'd rather get the bus than own another Zafira! oh yeah mine needed 2 clutches in the time i owned it!

[@QuietMan7755]

Not so sure if you’ll make much on the Zafira , that’s quite a list of work to do 😮

A cheap vauxhall zafira arnt dey all cheap lol horrible cars always trashed never mentioned than the problems there's the head gaskets that's made out off chocolate plus gearboxes absolute scrap!!

[@carukchannel]

The petrol's are 5 speed and are excellent boxes, I have dealt with hundreds of them and never come across a bad one. Now the 6 speed box fitted in the diesel and the 2.2 petrol was rubbish. As for HG failure again not very common, come across a few with oil cooler issues which can be mistaken for HG failure. 🤔

[@fhm3762]

Absolute horrible engine in that vauxhall, nothing but headache

[@carukchannel]

Not my experience with them,🤔sold many of them fitted in the astra and Zafira with very little issues.

1.8 / 1.6 petrol are decent and hardly have anything expensive fail

@DaddyOfDuty loads of head gasket issues and cheap plastic parts in that engine. Everyone I sold had nothing but issues.

[@Conflictofinterest902]

@@fhm3762most of the oil in water issues are oil cooler but people go straight to head gasket.
