I Bought A Very Lightly Damaged Infiniti QX30 And Quickly Found Out Why It Had Been Written Off !!!

[@tonimor9721]

Watched quite a bit of salvage repair , the lightly damaged stuff seems to be the thing to do , less parts to source , less risk of finding something horrible. Phil is obviously a smart buyer .

[@flyguy1359]

I been after one of these, plenty of manuals with the smaller engine but not these, test drove a manual, nice cars, smooth ride very quiet

[@chrisdavidson9431]

Nice car Phil, good to see you back again.

[@johnmccarthy-jones1250]

Great to see you back keep up the good work I have missed your videos

[@ragnarironspear1791]

That's a Northern Irish plate , an Irish plate is completely different. They are pretty popular over here

[@SeriousAboutSalvage]

@ragnarironspear1791 my bad, northern Irish 👍

[@ragnarironspear1791]

@@SeriousAboutSalvage no worries everyone does it

[@stevierea70]

You couid have caused a war then saying that was an Irish plate 🤣🤣🤣

[@ckm-mkc]

Very common here in the US - the petrol ones, no diesels. IRC some of the gas engines were actually from Renault. Even the "Mercedes" engines were from Renault. They still make Infinitis, just not this one. Considered at the low end of luxury cars, they generally have generous lease deals that appeals to people who want a luxury car but really can't afford one.....

9 speed automatic. Lovely rare car. Nice to see you back Phil

[@travisash8180]

It has a panamanic roof.

It's a GLA skin with Nissan chassis Renault engine Mercedes gearbox Infinity Badge

[@sparkyt6497]

A Frankenstein car then

[@shaunhewitt]

Wonder if it was involved in a bump or thieves have stripped it as they couldn't get parts 🤔🤔🤔

[@martinashurst1340]

Thought you’d driven off into the sunset in the C63. Shortage of parts seems to be a huge headache for insurers and repairers. Choose wisely Phil.

[@forevered4270]

Great video phil , just wish you would do more ?! No service history, thought yo would do a oil and filter change to be on the safe side ?

[@SeriousAboutSalvage]

@forevered4270 thanks, it's had oil and filter, probably should have mentioned it in the video 👍

[@mrgoodfella31]

Glad to see you back.. really enjoy your videos Phil

[@bz849]

Nice to see you back at it

[@classic1989mini]

Why don't you have sponges on the stand you had the bumper on? Could mark it!

[@bobuilt10]

He has foam pipe lagging on the stands, just like every other bodyshop.

[@cabottaxi]

Definitely a Northern Ireland plate without a doubt. I would get rid of it and ask the DVLA if they can reassign a UK mainland plate on it. You need to fill in an application form V55/4 (for new vehicles) or V55/5 (for used vehicles) £55 registration fee

[@michaelclarke3684]

Nice to see you back Phil🎉nice fix

[@PBUCKY1969]

Nice one mate if only they were all as straightforward as this! Is there a reason you don't go over the costs and profit at the end of a vid?

[@jayburrell]

Good to see your back Phil great result on the car 👍

[@billhaughton6431]

Nice to see you again Phil yet again good video,

[@michaelcook1923]

Good to see you Phil nice to see a car manufacturer not having to code the headlight when you swap one over.👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Phil good to see you back I’m interested can you message me with a price please if it’s still available

[@paulk8888]

It's a City of Derry registered car which were all assigned UI registrations (eg XUI 2213). And before anyone shouts it's LONDONDERRY it's not lol. County Derry or County Londonderry registered cars are now assigned IW registrations (eg RIW 111).

Is there a website where you have the cars listed for sale?

Always enjoy your videos Phil, shame they are months apart, nice car.

[@AntonioToma-q2j]

❤ That headlight situation is utterly ridiculous: manufacturers should keep a reasonable supply of all parts for their cars. And we wonder why insurance premiums are sky high!!!

[@richardtaylor7199]

Great job.

Welcome back

The reg is northern Ireland plate from county Londonderry

[@rickwilliams1505]

Very nice car , infinity and beyond 👍

[@ianmitchell1594]

Stopped selling them in the UK a couple of years ago, not sure why but I think you can still buy them new in other countries

[@ricbrook7059]

The guy that owned the rights to sell them (some shiekh apparently ) wasn't making money so pulled the franchise but kept the buildings. Not surprised as the Leeds showroom was pretty nice but never anyone in it. Bizarrely it then was used by Cazoo so failed again.

Loved the reference to the help you had to clean the car. 😂

[@minimoto99]

Chase the service history with Infinity, worth having.

[@bigdude8470]

Not that it means owt, but could it be just a random private plate that someone’s put on ? £100 of reg transfers for Irish plates??

If you look up 2025 Infiniti QX80 (MSRP $104,995 CA) you will see Infiniti still sells in North America.

[@kennethmckee1570]

I think that’s the first Northern Ireland registered car you have had

[@Vivianauxito]

Another solid video, Just straight to the point with everything! We released a portable jump starter. Can we invite you to do a review? We have emailed for an inquiry.

[@iandodds4441]

Biggest mistake Nissan made I worked on them loads of software problems

[@whatsdavedone104]

Definitely not a Irish plate, not even sure it is a Northern Ireland plate. All Northern Ireland plates have a Z in the 3 letters....plus when you do an MOT such it's never been moted in Northern Ireland 🤔

[@SeriousAboutSalvage]

@whatsdavedone104 it is a northern Irish plate, they always have either a Z or a I in the same position 👍

[@kennethmckee1570]

All new cars registered in Northern Ireland don’t need an MOT until its 4th year then every year thereafter unlike in England where it is 3 years then every year
