This is where it's at for most of us. People who just want simple, honest to goodness transport, that offers good value for money, and they don't care two hoots what others think of their car. You don't need to prostitute yourself to a finance company. Lee sells decent, well prepared cars that won't break the bank, and with a bit of basic maintenance, will keep you on the road for years. Down to earth motoring at its best. This, is how it's done. Lee is a beacon of value and common sense.

A private buyer wouldn't want to see that KA problem. I used to always look under a car before looking under the bonnet. But of course this was years ago when cars of 10 years old were rotters . You have a good set-up there to sort stuff out and still make a profit. Keep it up and very interesting.

Try selling the KA with those black wheel trims and if a customer objects then you can always fit original trims.. That could save you £100 or whatever 4 original wheel trims cost if they are happy with the black ones .....

At 7:55 you said the Spark had a "little 3 cylinder thing"- slight error there, as these have a 4 cylinder 16V engine. You can see at 9:22 that the engine cover says S-Tec II 16V, so it must be a 4 cylinder. The later Vauxhall Viva from 2015 onwards (which is basically the same car) had the 3 cylinder engine, but the Spark used a 4 cylinder S-Tec II engine itself a devolopment of the S-Tec produced between Suzuki and Daewoo for the original Matiz.

The price difference in the Aygo trio is purely about badge snobbery. Sparks are good - when GM took Chevrolet off the UK market they realised what they were missing out on so imported the new Spark and names it a Viva. Massive mistake as most buyers would associate the name with their granddads car - think they were aiming ate the Mini/Beetle/500 revival market and missed by a mile. I am biased as we have had 2 Matiz's - the first on the Mrs did 80k miles in and her current one is nearly at 25k miles. Very cheap motoring.

Those hideous furry seat belt covers tell me everything I need to know; Owned by an old dear, who drove it to Aldi once a week at max rpm in third, and changed gear without the clutch. Used the bumpers to park, constantly curbed the wheels, and had the oil changed by Kevin from nextdoor every 4 years, whether it needed it or not. The car was last washed in 2017, it was always full of dogs and grandchildren, the radio is tuned to pick up The Archers, the heater is jammed on full, and the glovebox was filled with Worther's Originals and spare hearing aid batteries. Book pack and service history was lost years ago, along with the parcel shelf, the MOT expired in 2021, and there's several unpaid parking tickets on DVLA's system. Just as well these Chevy Sparks are nigh on indestructible. It will probably outlast all of us.
