Well done working through the weather. You are definitely in the right sector of the market - expensive cars are not shifting down south. People are starting to look very worried about the cost of living (and the introduction of 20mph speed limits where they are not needed !). Took a park and ride to avoid a ULEZ zone charge and the bus crashing over speed bumps almost broke my back. World is going mad.

[@maureenswallow3054]

Your right.

[@aidan9459]

Lee the hand mittens remind me of Steptoe and son 🤣 great channel👍

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Brrr Lee, sitting rubbing my hands together watching this and I’m at home, reminds me of my days working in construction trying to lift the bricks with one hand and they were stuck together with the frost no wonder us brickies had no fingerprints they were rubbed smooth with lifting the bricks thank goodness I’d good hands that could stand up to wear and tear , great post Lee

Great idea 🤣👏

Always all the best,Bill. Just as a side,I have watched the Anglia car auction! Some of them old car's can bring back a memory or two, And not silly prices for you!

[@jimmypratt6450]

I used top hate sitting at my pitch back in the 80's and 90's waiting for punters and defrosting frozen cars , but like you said if i sold one car it was worth it 👍.

Those cars looked like they had been in the freezer. I understand your predicament , I only have to de ice one vehicle every morning, my work van, I can only imagine the task you face with all those vehicles. As always great video Lee, I’m glad you are doing well, even in the depths of winter ❄️.

Looks cold 🥶, I'm in dubai now and the weather is much better 😅, plenty of range rovers etc. Ferrari Lambo,etc However those dusters are on a Renault badge, seen a few, of them. Another great video 📹 BTW. The Joy's of being self employed.

Seen my neighbour pour a boiling hot kettle of water over his frosted up MINI windscreen. Had to put my hand over my eyes. You could use the new towel for your holiday sunbed.

Went on KZbin to look for Sunday dose of Car UK lol, glad you bought the Ford Ka, not surprised it sold you weren't greedy with what you wanted not like another KZbin car dealer he thinks if its really low mileage.its worth a fortune, sensibly priced , buyer should easily get 4 or 5 years reasonably trouble free cheap motoring. Lee do you only advertise on Facebook ive not used it in well over 10 years mate.

Shifting those cars around must be a balls ache to fish one out for a test drive. Playing car tetris 😅

[@mandymoo7406]

us proper traders dont do test drives often as our customers know weve done the donkeywork and sorted the issues

[@GhostvaperYT]

us proper buyers ALWAYS insist on a test drive! We may know you have done the donkeywork BUT how do we know the car suits us and is comfy for us??? ALWAYS TAKE A TEST DRIVE PEOPLE! @@mandymoo7406

[@johnedwards3198]

@@mandymoo7406 fair play, just a point that the big anonymous car supermarkets don't have to contend with. As a mere punter interested in the industry, I bought my car from such a place years ago and they just whisked it round the corner but it really must be a pain digging out cars for tyre kickers and then maybe have to re-clean them so credit to all of you!!

You could drive all these to Cornwall and double your money. Boy oh boy are cars in short supply and very expensive down here.

In Devon, same here. Some ridiculous money being asked for utter dogs. Why do people pay?

[@markpaul1154]

@@jonathanpork-sausage617 Its an awful long way up country. Thats why, also trade ins go up north here as we dont have big car auctions that can shift them, so cars go out and dont come back.

[@jonathanpork-sausage617]

You are right about auctions. Not sure about the trade ins imagine better to turn em around or pass on in the trade locally. Still, the south west is a nice but expensive place to live! @@markpaul1154

Friend bought Corsa, £999. I think it's a 300 quid car. Drove off. Next day over heat on way to see me. Heater matrix hose off. He said they flushed the coolant. I found they hadn't clipped hose back on properly, so i did and refill. Then i found the washer pump leaking. Bought with 4 months mot, back street rip off. Should have walked away. His previous car was Clio, he accidentally pulled bumper off. Told it was scrap. I would have fixed it with bolts.

Thought the Red Ka would go

When people turn up in bad weather it's a sign there genuine buyers, in summer people Bob round to talk cars, winters a good time, people are need buyers, last car won't start stuff like that, a good idea would be a sign outside bud for free fit (!) batteries, quick 50 quid profit for a few minutes work, well sometimes anyway, maybe an advertisement saying you'll jump start theirs and fit a new battery, just an idea anyway bud.

That Dacia is a bargain considering i paid £2800 for a 2011 i10 with 88 thousand and 2 previous owners dents and scratches included lol but down near London everything is expensive , I wanted to get a 2015 Corsa , guess how much ? £4600 lol and the dealer i went to refused to negotiate on price but where i went was the only dealer with 5 star google reviews which were verified

[@richiero0o0]

Mercedes should have stayed with the W169 design - high driving position, surprisingly roomy inside, easy to park and really good for less able folk to get in and out of. Why they stopped and produced an Audi A3 clone instead is beyond me.

[@richiero0o0]

@Timmy_Westside I also had one, I liked it. The point is the main design features occupied a gap in the market, arguably the Yeti filled that gap with stuff like the Arona coming later too.

[@richiero0o0]

@Timmy_Westside it wasn't about the (subjective) quality, Tim, it was the practical design aspects and yes, there most certainly are aspects found on the Yeti etc. Watch an elderly person getting in/out of the W169 or a Yeti and you might spot a major one. Also very spacious inside with a good luggage capacity whilst still being easy to park. I found mine pretty easy to work on too. Didn't like the CVT gearbox though, obviously!

[@stanthesteelguitarman8228]

The joys of driving are long gone. Modern cars are utter crap where PROPER drivers are concerned, with their ridiculous, soulless designs and intrusions of computer technology. The lunatics who have introduced 20mph limits and speed bumps where they are clearly not necessary should be taken to court and prosecuted! People are choosing older cars for reasons of comparative simplicity, as well as affordability in these hard times.
