MY FIRST MONTH SELLING CHEAP CARS

You’re a great straightforward honest guy Lee, you’re gonna do well !

[@jonathanb4847]

Great first month Lee. Life’s too short to stick at something you’re not enjoying great to hear you’re buzzing with the new venture you’re enthusiasm comes across in the video. I think you’ll do well at you’re price point with the cost of living as it is at the moment. Onwards and upwards 😁

Nice upload Lee and glad business is going well. Some nice vehicles you got on the pitch.

[@rogerkretzschmar8280]

Nice one Lee . Good point about the extension lead . For such a mundane tool every house should have one . Have a cheap Argos ( Jcb make ) 30 metre one for years . Power on tap anywhere we need . Saved a fortune doing a fence job bottom of our garden when we found concrete remains of a garage foundation . Another cheap tool , Argos SDS drill and the trusty extension combined with a lot of swearing and sweating , job done !

Great insight video. Cracking first month - long may they continue for you. It’s good to hear that you are enjoying it so far, it makes the days go quick. Could do with some flags on the front to attract attention with car pitch logo etc on them. (May help get business by lifting the look of the kerbside appeal?). Dave Birmingham

[@2toneleo]

Lee I received your email and I’m so grateful for your quick response.. it’s about my Vauxhall zafira 1.7 diesel.. what you told me is definitely what is happening with my car.. pinking noise and on tick over it hunts .. the cam makes a ticking noise on tick over but goes away once acceleration is applied.. I thought oil level was low but it’s on max .. any ideas .. hopefully not a expensive fix but appreciate your advice and suggestions and definitely taking the time to read and respond.. cheers Lee 👍👍

your doing well with the pitch good selection of cars. instead of keep valeting them why not invest in some washless wax spray just to keep them clean whilst on the pitch then when sold valet them just a thought but its your pitch glad it going well.

I have tried a few bud but non seem to really work well, the fall out dust from the road and in recently with the sun and no rain is not helping, we just have to keep washing them off I guess. Need to get a saturday lad in to wash the cars I reckon

When I lived on the South Coast @ 20 years ago I met a mini cab driver - drove a early Proton Saga 1.3 petrol and was in the process of replacing it with another as he felt just over 300k miles was enough. He had sold it already for £500 to a mini cabbing mate. The Mitsubishi mechanicals on them was bullet proof.

[@carukchannel]

I bought a proton saga for £100 once many years ago when I was not in a great place, spent £30 on ignition items, plugs leads and dis cap and it ran lovely again, used it for 3 months then sold it for £250. Simple times and a simple car, but my god it was ugly 🤣

I have a karcher bud, but the hose pipe is ideal for just running over to the side of the pitch and quick wash off, than setting up karcher every time.

[@carlstansfield9696]

Seeing the way you meticulously prep your cars, I would definitely travel to buy one if I was in the market. Some of the 1495 cars if you sold them on the south coast would be min 2795 if not 3k!

That blue corsa 39,000m (ML56 XGY) on the ramp i wouldn't spend much time on it,get it mechanically right,serviced & clean but the dents & bad scrapes etc i'd leave alone to get that slight lower figure. Leave the tyres alone if they're still legal...just my advice. Bit of a bumpy ride but it'll smooth out, doing good fella!. 👍

Lee, any advice in how to get started with selling cars? I don't have a drive so it's a little tricky to 'get started' shall we say!

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Good to hear pitch is doing well in first month or so Lee. The 39,000 mile Corsa should sell easily Lee when priced sensibly if you say it's worth £2195 advertise it for £1995 under 2 grand make it sound much cheaper and with the mileage your best bet is selling it through Autotrader , I've never bought a car from any thing but Autotrader other than what I've bought from the Auctions. If not you need a board in the windscreen with low mileage it's done around 2500 miles a year , shame it hasn't got a paddy plate on it.

Hence over heat situation and stop light once on motorway. Put a combustion test fluid on it. Ok. Puddle under car just once. Small. Never again. No obvious water leak wonder if was internal… I was thinking water pump or radiator leak but dry as a bone and all hoses good high temp. I’d say classic head gasket but fluid said no. Stayed blue.

Hi Lee I’m a new subscriber but have been watching your channel for a few months now.. if you get anytime can you give me your personal advice about a car I own.. I’d love to watch it in your video on KZbin if you get a spare minute or two.. I own a Vauxhall zafira 1.7 diesel eco on a 2010 plate with leather seats etc only done 97 thousand miles with full service history.. had cambelt done in December last year and a new clutch and flywheel and full service.. just what is your opinion on these cars .. mine runs lovely but how much mileage can these do etc .. much appreciated .. also I’m excited to see you have a car I just had .. Citroen Picasso 2ltr diesel which was my old faithful and covered over 170 thousand miles and sounds like new still .. however I had spent lots on it over the years with new sills and front end bushes etc but I love your blue one and hope you get decent money for it ., it’s nice seeing cars I’ve had similar.. but absolutely love your channel and your honesty about cars and advice.. top fella and looking forward to your future adventures.. from Tony Lasham in Fakenham Norfolk 👍👍

I will deal in the 1.7cdti engine in astra and zafira, the only issues I come across is 6 speed boxes around this year were weak but you know when they go wrong as they jump out of gear or become very noisy. also can suffer with injectors that hunt (idle funny) or suffer with pinking noise. they don't like being used for short journeys 👍
