[@marksmith762]

Watching the dent guy drilling holes in the car to access dents was a bit of a shock

[@Rob-vf6sl]

Before (regularly) watching High Peak Autos, I always thought used car salespeople were, well, always out to sell dodgy cars with the absolute minimum spend/effort/consideration and effectively screwing the next unlikely punter who comes along next. Well I was completely wrong there and I hope there are plenty more like Matt out there (where exactly??) ! Matt has also restored my faith in humanity as clearly it's not just a business to him. Can't wait to see what he does in 2025. oh I do like the S5 too! And one other thing, please please please join Bluesky! all the best Rob

[@marthacancerng]

Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnsed with ovariScn cncer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(

[@paulk1702]

Loved the snapshot of Prestige Wheels. A long time since I've lived in the UK, but the 'service provider' costs always sound like really good value. The only exception is 'mechanics.' Matt puts so much business their way, yet nearly always seems to end up paying top dollar.

[@kelvinnoden3057]

Love how you sort everything down to the very last detail regardless of cost, nothing is left to chance and not a single corner is cut getting a vehicle ready for sale. In it's new state of totally sorted condition it's an absolute bargain Matt 👍

[@HighPeakAutos]

I try my best

[@jason-m]

It’s a bargain… til you see that road tax bill 😂😬

[@DaleSteel]

All car dealers do that. It's a problem though it's called over preparing i for it regularly cant help it.

[@NickLynchDrums]

This is due to most if not all costs being paid for by views. It's unusual for a dealer to do all the work needed as it would eat into profit. Matt can massively overspend almost every time as he recoups the cost from KZbin.

[@witton6475]

£7,750 is a bargain for this car. Your desire to get cars back to, or as close as possible, to their best is to be applauded. 👌

[@stephencollins7714]

I love these cars too, had an ‘06 V8 S4 cab, ‘11 3.0T S5 Cab and currently an ‘18 S5 Cab, V8 was the best sound hands down but gets blown away by the V6’s performance wise. Well done for saving one.

[@Ahmed-Muflahi]

The shape of those cars is timeless

[@ccooper8785]

I have tried to have minor dents "popped" on my previous cars but the prices quoted were always WAY more than your £45 even though the back of the panels were fully accessible. Hold and cherish your dents guy (did you remember to send him a Christmas card ?).

[@stephencollins7714]

Agree it was cheap but he did drill a hole in the door shut to gain access, not saying it is wrong, just have not see that done before.

[@turbnix]

@@stephencollins7714 I have never seen that before! ,no way would I let them drill my car.I had a dent on my car that couldn't be accessed, & they used the hot glue method to take it out.

[@BarbaraPape-y4g]

A fullysorted V8 S5 for that money is doing well, You could have bought a worse sample and ended up spending way more. One to keep for a while until your heart settles on another bargain to overspend on. Have a great New Year Matt

[@hugoed3740]

I’m with you Matt, that gem of a car is worth a lot more than £7,750 that you have spent. And that doesn’t include the premium fuel that you put in! (Great minds think alike) Obviously not a cheap car to run, but it will pay back its next owner in pure driving joy. Hope you get an appreciative buyer, or will you keep it for a while?

[@henrykravitz468]

I love how you sort everything down to the very last detail. I don't think you should worry about overspending, this car was worth it, and some cars are worth saving.

[@marthacancerng]

Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovariacn cncer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful(sda

[@JasonBurke007]

Great looking car. My only concern would be the dent removal company drilling into the bodywork inside the door to access the rear quarter dent. 12:09

[@mrdeeds83]

I think that you got yourself a great deal. Locally, I can only find a 2011 with 132 000 KM, Manual, Coupe for 18 000$ CAD which is roughly £10 000! If the steering wheel was on the proper side, you could make some serious coin selling it over here! This car does seem to be a keeper. A few things do go wrong, but no turbo or supercharger to worry about! Enjoy the car!

[@purehyperbole5727]

Owners come to him and get a bit wobbly over his fame and essentially give it to him.

[@YorkshireMidge]

Really nice S5. If it's anything like the Mk2 TT of the same era, the window regulators wouldn't be worn - the cables would be rusted and frayed (hence the crunching noise as the cables go around the pulleys) because Audi had the great idea of putting unprotected steel cables in the door where it's nice and damp.

[@lari1253]

Thanks Matt, I've forgotten about this dark foggy weather that we have in bristol. Love the S5.

[@jo05dk]

So..a smidge over 8K when it's actually fully sorted, with the blind spot monitoring system fixed. I agree.. That's really not bad, for a great car. Well done.

[@robertasviskupaitis9195]

12:12 the drilled hole will rust, I had the exact same thing and then it starts rusting from inside. Treat it if they didn't, prevent the rust :)

[@HighPeakAutos]

No it won’t. It’s sealed with a rubber bung

[@daviddb2528]

Meh. Rubber bung or no I really would suggest making sure it's been slathered with your anti-rust​ treatmentof choice. But enough nit-pickery - what a fabulous enviable car....@@HighPeakAutos

Lovely car, great video. I love the sound of a V8 engine too. Here in London, you pay for the privilege of parking on the street you live on. Lambeth council charge you for the amount of emissiions your car gives out. BUT the car is parked. £237 a year to be able to park my BMW 520D MHT MSport on my road. I would love to own a V8 but the costs rocket to ridiculous prices. They are trying to get us out of our cars, and on to buses and trains which are packed or quite often not running.

[@Alan-J-Mock]

[@MuscleBandit]

Hi Matt, like yourself I spend way too much time window shopping on autotrader and the amount used car businesses your kind of size who put their cars up for sale dirty, unkept and in need of silly repairs which should have been done prior to the car being listed for sale just baffles me every time. Some of these examples are low miles, low owners, fsh etc but as soon as I see a mucky interior, minging wheels, number plates, body work etc it makes me never want to buy anything from them. Hats off to you as always for doing things properly. I'd rather pay a tad higher price for one of your cars than a lower price for an unkept example of the same car, especially as we often get to see the car on this channel first! Cheers, MB.

[@stephenhopwood9787]

Hi Matt. Nice looking car, but it's made me think. You obviously use your local garage for servicing, but a lot of 'experts' will tell you that a car like this should only be touched by a dealer or marque specialist. What are your thoughts on this as both an owner and a dealer? What do you think if a car like this comes to you with a full history, but done by an independent? Is it worth less? My experience with main dealers is (generally) that they follow the schedule they're given by the manufacturer, whether it's the best option, or appropriate or not. Independent marque experts are fine, if you have access to one, but is it worth travelling? I have a trusted independent who is a mechanic (as opposed to a fitter) who understands the basics and deals with them appropriately, discussing the options with me. As a result, filters tend to be changed more regularly. Interested to hear your views. Thanks.
