I BOUGHT A KIA RIO WITH NO KEYS ! (UK CAR AUCTION)

Hi Guys, in my latest Video we take a trip to the auction to pick up this Kia rio which I have bought out of the auction with no keys. We also take a quick look around the auction and try to bid on some cars before having a walk round and test drive of the car.

Omg that ignition 😂 this is brilliant! Great bargain

[@davidhumpherson4904]

Lee, this is a fantastic channel. Keeps getting better and better.Your encyclopedia knowledge, personality, content and quick witted high energy buzz gives a fantastic window into the day to day of the motor trade, highs and lows, wins and losses. I don't think there's another channel out there that does this sort of thing as well as you do. Keep going bud, it's great entertainment and education! All the best from Yorkshire 👍👍

[@carukchannel]

This looks to be a very clean example for its age. I’m never been a Kia fan, however my friend has a 2015 Kia Sportage, and she loves it.

[@carukchannel]

Yes them later sportage's are a realy decent quality vehicle

[@rogerkretzschmar8280]

After having the ' pleasure ' of a Megane with their abysmal electric windows I'd quite happily never see an electric window again ! As for the map , that's a Phillips Streetfinder . Got loads of those still in my truck , must be an age thing , still sometimes find them easier then satnav . Great video mate

Whoa Lee, what a result with V5 and history! 😊 Hot wired ignition eh? Anyone would think it was a hot 80s/90s Ford! Lol 😂 Hope the Rio does you proud, profit-wise 🫰👍

[@zzhughesd]

Lolly pop stick instead key & key tag, lovely.... that's a first !!! Never been passed a lolly pop stick by the block !!!! Oh its a 10 10, great buy, it's £1999 easily !! Sold something similar a Strike Rio in Silver 68k 09 09 last month, that was over £2k by a hundred or two

Amazing Kia bargain for what you got I have always been nervous of buying vehicles at auction especially without a log book as the police advise against this also The Kia Rio 2 actually went up to at least a 13 plate

[@stevie007]

👌👌

[@elpeede]

Loving the channel Lee, can you help me understand the prices. Aston Barclay, when the final price comes in is it hammer, plus auction fees plus 20% fot VAT. Trying to understand. You could probably do a video purely on this. Keep up the good work!

[@carukchannel]

They are set fees on top which is dependant on the account holder and rate card they are on. Typically at this auction a trader would be pay £160 on top of the sale price on a £1k hammer price

[@cabottaxi]

Long way from its original home in Tayside. Not bad looking apart from the bird prints on the bonnet.

[@yvonfem]

Looks a straight old car for the money looks like you will take a decent drink out of it great job

[@MrMoss786]

I bought my first car from an suction that had a key but mysteriously went missing when i collected the car. It also had a dismantled engine. I put in another used engine then had to tow it to renault dealers to get the new key and programmed. Luckily the car started after the key was arranged at the dealer and i drove it home

[@happysporran]

That would definitely sell for 2k. I'm working next to a guy that's looking in that price range... not rich pickings for him. Hope you've got no bad surprises.... looking forward to the follow up👍

What you lot in the comments and watching don’t realise is when your a sole trader doing ya best putting in effort and miles and dealing with idiots and awkward customers or stock that won’t sell you need a Bobby dazzler gift from the gods. That cars got profit all over it and with minimal effort there’s a nice little earner maa saaan in it

[@carukchannel]

thanks chief well said 👍

[@parvinkukar1259]

Great vid, coincidentally I just brought a car and the steering is also off centre and the passenger front tyre is going bold on the outside. I’m assuming this is signs of needing tracking as well. Also I did buy a car from copart with no log book and took nearly two months to get a new log book and the car was ready for sale within a few weeks, so had the car just Sitting on my drive way for weeks, a real hassle. Will never buy a car without log book again!!!

[@carukchannel]

yes bud sounds like tracking to me

[@Pauljn67]

Letchworth have got a nice 08 Maserati Gran Tourismo for you next Tuesday night Lee! Treat yourself.

[@carukchannel]

I am buying one soon but would like one a little newer, I will do a video on my car in the coming weeks

[@graemew7001]

Fully agree about the first Kia Rio's, they were absolute 💩. You've had a real result with this one, the fact that it's bobby basic wouldn't put me off, in fact it would tempt me more, less to go wrong and cheap to run.

[@carukchannel]

Thanks graemew

[@andygj66]

Good result finding the V5 and book pack in the glovebox. Missing docs and keys would put a lot of people off, so hopefully that kept the auction price low. Should be a nice margin in this one.

I'm thinking of starting to bid on auctions in the US. I have no experience with it. I know the conditions here are different, but any advice would be helpful! I'm thinking of starting to bid on cars that are "vandalized". Most of them are stolen, they don't have keys, but I think this is easy to fix.Most of these are Kia and Hyundai . Another thing I know is that a car that is outwardly without damage, most likely has engine damage.

[@carukchannel]

I have no experience in the US car world or auctions there, but I know the value of vehicles 2nd hand is very high compared to the UK. I would be looking at cars without keys maybe or broken locks ignitions etc. Find a good key man who can code you new keys and supply them. Good luck with your venture and thanks for watching the channel

[@mikeman584]

Great content and very informative, I wish I lived more locally I would be your best customer. I can't understand anyone who buys a car on line and has it delivered without a test drive, what's that about??

[@carukchannel]

Thanks bud, have a great weekend

[@snbala]

Decent cars, though hard to believe a 10 plate car doesn’t come with electric windows, no matter it being the base model. I have tried to win Kia Rio’s a few times but they go for silly money.

wind-down windows but still manages to have a dot matrix (rather than segmented) radio display lol

Hi Lee I have a 2011 Kia Rio it's not a bad car but it's going through fuel like no one's business. There are no obvious leaks but any obvious things that it could be? Feeling may have to get rid as costing a fortune to run

[@carukchannel]

Should be doing around 40mpg maybe 35 in town driving stop start, is it the same shape as this running a 1.4 or is it the next model with the 1.2 engine ? they can suffer with timing chains stretching which cause poor performance and fuel economy
