Why are people in the comments still calling the sellers out? Potentially they did know it had issues but they didn’t have to offer to pay for it to be fixed to be fair on them. They put there company name out and surly if they knew it had issues they wouldn’t want the negativity coming back to them. Seemed genuine to me and good on you Calvin for standing by them . Keep the videos coming! Now the wait for the next video 😩🤣

[@LeeHoops]

Under trading standards, yes they did have to offer to fix it. Known fault or not. Dealers can’t just sell faulty vehicles and refuse to fix them, instead they try and palm it off to a warranty company.

I don’t understand why you’re promoting a group of guys that sold you a vehicle knowing it had faults. You can say all you like they might have not known but they drove it to you and the faults are blatant. Sorry Calv, but it’s not negative to call someone out.

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Let’s just assume for arguments sake you’re right and they done all of this intentionally. Like myself and most people in their 20’s we all make mistakes. They have the option to either learn from it and win or ignore it and lose. Either way it makes absolutely no odds to me so I wish nothing but the best for them 🙌

I’ll never buy another vag again. Bought a golf R new in 2021 looked exactly same as that had load of problems with it. Bought a cupra ateca start of this year new had loads of problems with it already. Still doesn’t steer straight. Bought a new X5 3.0 in 2019 and 5 years later all its had is general suspension components tyres and servicing. Stage 2. Same with my last 335d hardly needed anything in 6 years. M cars a little different but even then you don’t mind spending a little here and there. Vag products are now just cheap pieces of plastic, and not worth the money at all. Will enter to win ofc haha but I’ll sell and buy another BMW 😅

[@muckspreader1able]

[@AI-Records24]

@ every car has its weak points most of which you can address on BMWs so it’s down to preference. At least they drive properly, get rear wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution, good on track good on road and they aren’t made of plastic bags. There’s no other real drivers car that comes close to them other than Porsches. What you drive?🤣

Surprised by the issues on a 4 year old car also that people spend so much money on a car like this and not maintain it.

[@Randalf666]

Definitely not these days. Lease ppi cars why would they bother spending on it and that’s if they can afford to look after them properly to start with. Just look at the state of most mk7 Rs 140i s etc. most abused bags of shite by 80k mikes.

[@stichupman]

@ yes I did the same several years ago. A 1 owner 140i with full history it did help that I knew the previous owner. I changed the oil filter housing and did an oil change once a year was a good car. You did well it’s just the risk of the unknown nowadays remaps, launch controls and abuse especially from cold etc etc. But enjoy your 140i. I went Golf R wagon after mine.

[@scotttough478]

Get exactly what you are saying about negative comments etc. but you yourself cal tell us that when your buying a car one of the first things you do is work out the kind of person you are buying it from. The way they are, if they seem legit etc and sorry but the vid you posted buying this car I was with a lot of the people watching thinking the same thing. That they were not fully legit. A little crooked and maybe not completely honest about what they were selling. It’s cool of you to call out the haters here and stick up for those lads, but we are all doing exactly what you tell us to do bud.

[@simonbutler377]

I have to be honest, I was wrong about those 4 guys, I thought they were passing off a car wit hserious faults, and when you called on the car pulling to one side they all had the look of deer caught in headlights look. But actually they were just young and inexperienced and didn't properly test the car so just didn't know what to say bewcause they never noticed it. It was just a case of poorly adjusted lowering springs which caused the geometry to get messed up when the engine was under load so when you put the foor down it just veered towards one direction and then went you let it go it veered back.

[@simonbutler377]

what a bunch of clowns. They obvious got a wrecked car and just fixed it up on the cheap. But they ruined their repuation going onto a popular channel and flipping it onto a well respected dealer. They will regret this as one of those dumb decisions you do when you're young.
