I bought a DIRT(Y) CHEAP Hyundai i30, can we save it and make a profit?!

[@bluefish2303]

Very High Peak Autos-esque presentation and transformation 😜 Just goes to show that you can polish some life into these older cars. £6995 though 😮

[@kendibben3179]

Just goes to show you can with a little TLC bring back to a decent car, I think you where lucky to get a low mileage example to help the value, Well done, you definitely earned the margin Great vids, love to see more cars bringing back to life 👍

[@michelle.lima5]

Really liked this new format, great job on the restoration, at the end of the day it’s not a new car so u expect some marks on it but for the age it’s a really good example considering where it was

[@blackberryhill]

High Peak Autos vibes from this transformation-style offering - and all the better for it! Lovely effort Joe & team; the turnaround and the video - more please!

[@stephenkewn342]

I was thinking the same & it’s nice 👌 to see what happens after 😅

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Joe,wow what a difference it's has made to the car,it looks more blue than before.automatic cars seem to sell well.

[@1970sthrowback]

It always amazes me the state of people's cars. It's the second most expense after a house and the amount of cars with shit tyres that don't grip in the wet even when new is depressing. Not to mention worn out brakes and filthy interiors. That's my moan over lol. Keep up the great videos , enjoying them all 👍🏻😎

[@TJC156]

Fantastic transformation. I would do the centre console though (even just scuff it up and paint it silver again) as it does take from the interior. Rest of the work is brilliant a great gross profit (heavy VAT bill though!). I’d really encourage more of these videos as I think you have the right platform and would really grow your channel - people love transformations.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Thanks, will certainly try 👍

[@davidlipski863]

I bought a Fiesta that had 4 Sunny tyres on it they had bad road noise and uneven tread i swapped them all after 100 miles for a better make road noise gone and better car to drive.

[@UniversityOfTurmoil]

It was interesting to see the change in used car values in the 6-7 years since it was last sold. Makes it cost effective to keep older cars on the road rather than just scrapped, probably a much more environmentally friendly option than buying a newer car with lower emissions on paper.

[@turnercraig9953]

Huge i30 fan... So thank you so much for saving this one and having one on your channel

[@henrykravitz468]

Fantastic transformation, I can't see that car being on the forecourt long though. I love how you went through every expense, so we know the prices if we were to do it ourselves. Keep up the great videos.

Excellent restoration and breakdown of cost repairs. With a large profit margin would have been nice had the smart repair technician tidied up the scuffed interior console. What you have demonstrated well is that general and regular car maintenance is key for keeping your car running smoothly for years. Love it

One of your best videos Joe. Very professional and I watched it with a smile on my face. Looks like a Hogwarts' 'Hufflepuff' AA banner in the background that has reverted to a wedge of Edam.😁 Clumsy observation I know, however Toby has carried out a first class editing job etc.. All the best.

[@billbrooks8990]

Nice work £3000 seems a lot of profit but you have not allowed for labour which has to be payed for so prob nearing £2500 will look even better if you where to do the interior silver trim May turn people off or remind them of its past mistreatment

[@paulgray2387]

Burnham is near Slough, Berkshire.

[@thatpeskyswan]

As a fairly pov spec i30 and in poor condition I think you've been robbed too! Maybe 800-1000£ I'd say in that state, it needs a lot of work . I'm sure it'll look really nice once it's all done! The mileage is great!

Damn always amazes me the huge premimum tax automatic licence holders only drivers must have to pay throughout their lifetime. Can't imagine paying over the odds in your 20s/30s when you're just tryna get around, automatic later in life out of choice makes sense, but being forced to buy auto only sounds painful af.

[@williamegler8771]

Sad to see a vehicle allowed to deteriorate like that. Any vehicle is a significant investment and maintaining them in roadworthy presentable condition will extend their life exponentially. I would much rather buy a car maintain it and drive it to the end of its useful life span and get the money I paid for it out of it than buy a vehicle and allow it to deteriorate to the state this one is in with fairly low miles and sell it for pennies where if it was maintained it would have years of life left in it.

I appreciate it needed work but £3,000 profit for you! I think you should give £1,000 back to the old couple so £3,000 not £2,000 to them. Otherwise it looks bad on you (my opinion).

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

So if Joe took the risk buying it and it needed thousands in work do you think the people who sold it should give Joe money towards his costs? ! What a silly statement you have made.

[@bretthale9290]

Its Joes hard work & being in the trade thats made it worth that, would have cost alot more to sort it out privately, costs don't include wages etc & Joe is on the hook for 6 months with consumer rights so until those 6 months have past profit is unknown,he did take a risk

[@ShiftingMetal]

I offered £3000 and would have stood by word but they only wanted £2000, that’s what they got and everyone was happy 🤷‍♂️

[@davidlang3625]

Don't forget Joe has to cover the costs associated with the premises, staff, adverting, risk of breakdown in first 6 months etc. The initial repair costs could have also gone up considerably. Then there is the dreaded VAT. I am sure that the overall profit is somewhat less...
