I Flipped This CHEAP Lexus for Profit ( FULL PROCESS )

[@diprosayeed5935]

Loving these new vlog-style documentary videos. Keep it up!

[@ShaksAutos]

Glad you like them!

[@liu-river]

I learned a lot from watching your last 2 videos, thanks man, subbed!

[@ukman9797]

Nice watching your journey, and how you are learning along the way. I like that you are going for the more premium cars and not cheap runabouts. Most of all your content is good.

[@ShaksAutos]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Great video loving them keep them coming👍

[@Tofaeal]

Just subbed, keep this style of videos up bro, enjoyed it very much seeing the whole process and final numbers

[@ShaksAutos]

I’m glad you enjoyed. There will more videos coming out.

[@SharaTaha]

Your videos are so informative. Really enjoying them so far!

[@6Martin]

Started watching your vids yesterday: Merc and Lexus flips. VERY good viewing. I like the format and how u do the vids. Hope to see loads more 👍🚙

[@ShaksAutos]

Welcome aboard! There is more to come

[@robertogachoowiti6623]

Hi I am your new subscriber . Love the lexus video watching from Qatar 🇧🇭 more love from Kenyan 🇰🇪

[@ShaksAutos]

Welcome 🤗

[@AuldScot1888]

You had that car looking immaculate fella, for an 08 plate. I felt your pain breaking down on M25. Not had similar but have driven M25 often and to me, it's the worse driving experience ever. Nice wee touch sharing your memories. Hope you get full asking price. 👍

[@ShaksAutos]

Thank you 🙏🏼 the M25 is a nightmare

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Your editing is on point whst do u use and how have u you learnt it so well

[@ShaksAutos]

email me I will help you with your vidoes.

[@parvinkukar1259]

Great job on the calipers, min effort max effect. Personally on auto trader I start high and slowly chip away depending on the response. These kind of cars take time to sell as there is so much options for a £6k budget and people do prefer newer cars. You will need patience for a buyer who is looking for that particular car with that high level of spec Good luck

[@ShaksAutos]

Great tip!

[@Dom-ou6ec]

I’m not a car guy so watching these is very educational. Just knowing how you approach problems with issues and find solutions could prevent me always going to the mechanic. Keep these up, you found yourself a subscriber!

[@ShaksAutos]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼

[@andyburton8346]

Was thinking head gasket when you first said about misfiring bet you was relieved when it was just wire to coil nice Video 👍

[@ShaksAutos]

Oh yes I was well happy with that.

[@ziomorph]

Great video, hope you used a high temperature paint for the calipers, they sell specific paints that can withstand high temps!

[@ShaksAutos]

I always use High Temp paint for calipers.

[@ShaksAutos]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mohammedislam6603]

Think I drove past you bro on the M25 lol. Defo remember it as I’ve never seen Lexus on the side of motorway ever

[@ShaksAutos]

You probably have mate as I was there for a while rethinking my life decisions 🤣

[@MrSparklespring]

Great job. Sell it at 5995 sounds less than 6000 (psychological trick). Also I advice to paint the calibers next time in a darker red, much more classy than this 'meat' red. Succes!

[@ShaksAutos]

Thanks for the tips!

[@syedqaisarabbas6959]

It's great to see your efforts

[@ShaksAutos]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@waxonflaxon]

Have you got a video showing how to detail a car simply ? And how to find right colours for scratch repairs etc ?

[@ShaksAutos]

I don’t but that will be in the future.

[@waxonflaxon]

@ShaksAutos thanks! Looking forward to it !

[@moali6196]

Great video

[@Conviently]

Love the content bro. Recently found your channel and subscribed because I enjoy your content. Would love a Q&A video about monthly earning and cost.

That will be a future video 🤙🏼

[@ShaksAutos]

Thanks for the sub and welcome 🙏🏼

[@Pyramid333]

Great video. Polishing the headlights as you do will not last. It is a much better process to last for long. Also, the calipers it is better to cover the rust restorer before painting them because it lasts longer.

[@KeyBrosUK]

The headlights will last like that when ceramic coated too - on our work car (315k miles a6 allroad 3.0) did them in 2019 and they are still crystal clear

[@xlaimuxllt]

Should do calipers in gray. You want to apeal to most buyers when you flip.

[@ShaksAutos]

Good point. I will keep that in mind for future flips.

[@kurts8499]

Brilliant flips so far. About to start flipping myself and videos like these give the confidence needed

[@ShaksAutos]

Good luck 🤞

[@kurts8499]

@@ShaksAutos cheers mate . Prepared to prep well and get the best result possible. Always been good with buying mine and friends cars , sure that will carry on but luck is deffo a factor to .

[@fellacraft]

I own a toyota with a full auto electric window..usually other 3 windows can't be controlled with driver side switch if the car battery has been removed(to be replaced ect.)...you can tell by the blinking light on the window switch of the other 3 doors..also you can tell by the control switch on driver door that is not turning on for the other 3 windows...if the light on the switch are blinking..it would not operate in full auto...you can reset it by rolling down the window a little bit..no need for a full roll down😅...and roll it back up and hold the switch up for 3 -5 sec...

[@ShaksAutos]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@GallonsofSweat]

on your autotrader ad says full service history? but only 1 service on BCA?

[@ShaksAutos]

If you had watched the whole video, I mentioned that I found the service book in the glove box.

[@KeyBrosUK]

BCA lads have to go through service book read it then put it into pda so a lot of them say they can’t find it or just do one sheet etc. Means you get a good surprise when buying! They aren’t very well paid so can’t blame them.

[@sbst7577]

I found your ad in the auto trader 😂

[@ShaksAutos]

Are you gonna put a cheeky offer in 😉

[@hamzar6677]

Hi i love your content, may i ask do you put these vehicles in your name or business, if so does it add a +1 owner on the logbook

[@ShaksAutos]

It will go onto my business name without adding owners.

[@hamzar6677]

@ShaaakAR how do you insure these vehicle? And you don't need to tax these vehicles because of ?. Thanks for the replies

[@ShaksAutos]

I have trade insurance so I don’t need to tax it

[@minodorstefan8146]

Just started watching your videos yesterday, and I love it. Can you see the car in person before you bid on it at Blackbushe BCA? Or can you go and bid over there in person? Thanks

[@ShaksAutos]

Unfortunately everything is online now. Before Covid you could’ve done that.

[@paulsz6194]

11:42 you put in E10 , when on the fuel cover it says unleaded fuel only, doesn’t say anything about E10 being suitable for these cars. Premium fuel also has cleaning detergents I’m them, so mixing it with a cheap injector cleaner would have served the cars engines better.

[@ShaksAutos]

E10 is unleaded fuel. I do get your point but these engines run just fine on unleaded and do not require premium fuel.

[@ignasjokaitis1746]

question, do you have trader insurance? because when I bought the car I still needed additional insurance, driving the car home adds to the additional costs, maybe you have any tips ? Thanks

[@ShaksAutos]

I do have trade insurance. Investing in one would be a must to get into this job

[@OshmanHashan]

Hi, what kind of paint did you use for calipers? Was it special paint for metal?

[@ShaksAutos]

High tempt paint. Link in my description

[@chingpot5159]

Can’t wait for the scirocco vid

[@Psylcosyn]

Great posts.. How was the hybrid system on this lexus BTW?

[@ShaksAutos]

It was great! Working just like it was new.

[@ryzen397]

we had a 400h. It was ok but sounded like an alien.

[@ShaksAutos]

lol I know what you mean by that. All hybrids sound like that when they run on battery.

[@shukur1995]

👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@KeyBrosUK]

The real winner is autotrader £96 for an ad that expires in a couple of weeks, what a scam. Great video mate best channel I’ve found for at home car flips even though there’s only a couple up so far, like how you do everything in one video can’t stand channels that post it in 5/6 videos, even 2, I lose interest. Well deserved profit, keep it up.

[@ShaksAutos]

Yeah mate and now I have a monthly package that cost thousand as you increase adverts. They get away with it and no one questions it. Thank you so much for the comment, I have more videos to come out soon so keep an eye out and welcome aboard 🙏🏼

[@KeyBrosUK]

@ exactly mate!! We should set up some competition for them. You’re welcome bro keep them up this channel will blow in no time - editing is fire, vids have great structure with a mix of voiceover and you talking to camera and you get the job done well with high prep standard. Exactly how flipping cars should be, I’ll keep an eye out notifications are on😎

[@amz14211]

Bro buy a mic. Dji mic 2 or Rode wireless ii. great channel btw

[@ShaksAutos]

I have but unfortunately some parts of the videos were recorded at different days before the mic 🎤

[@handsfree1000]

Did you take into account the cost of the breakdown recovery? Good to have a friend with a breakdown truck.

[@ShaksAutos]

Yes that cost was taken into account

[@syedqaisarabbas6959]

It's great, I'm from PAKISTAN

[@3150xYz]

When I'm looking to buy a car, as soon as I see red callipers I immediately turn away. Because then I think to myself "what other modifications has the owner done that I do not know about?". I reckon factory silver or black is a better option? Great video.

[@ShaksAutos]

I understand it may not be for everyone but yeah sometimes you just need to try things out. In this case the new owner loved it.

[@gnixon9307]

how do you pay vat/tax on cars as a trader , can you do a video about this please

[@ShaksAutos]

You need an accountant for that. I will in the future.

[@habebeyo6430]

So what happened eventually with this Lexus; did it sell?

[@ShaksAutos]

Sold

[@habebeyo6430]

@ Great stuff buddy 👍🏻

[@bpanayiotou8907]

What would you do if you bought a cheapish car that had a major issue that wasn’t worth repairing or replacing?

[@ShaksAutos]

Sell it as spares or repairs and take my loss on the chin!

[@motorvueng]

Obvious you have never driven a Toyota hybrid it’s not a rev counter they don’t have rev counters, what they have is a kw meter which tells you how much power your engine is making.

[@motorvueng]

And you can’t also rev it in neutral

[@ShaksAutos]

Good to know 👍🏼

The miss fire is why the engine light was flashing
