THE SECOND HAND CAR MARKET IS ALL OVER THE PLACE - I BLAME MILK FLOATS!!!

I try and explain the eternal cycle of the second hand car market and confuse myself so I don’t hold out much hope for you!!
But it’s not good and it’s getting worse, just like the rest of the country!!!

[@matthewdowning6009]

@@johnathanpearson3203 Apart from that being bollocks; when was the last time you saw an environmental disaster due to lithium extraction? You get lithium from salts (which is what you are talking about) and from mining. So when was the last lithium extraction disaster, vs the last oil tanker sinking or oil rig explosion? Nothing is perfect, but the environmental side-effects of lithium extraction are nowhere near as bad as those of oil extraction. As an example; you take lithium out of something, put it in a battery and can recharge that battery 1000’s of times. With oil, you take it out, transport it using low refined oil in ships. Refine it using electricity (which powers electric cars), transport it around using more oil that is more refined than the ship (using more electricity). Then pump that refined fuel into cars that are 30% efficient. Or generate electricity, move it to a car battery via the grid and then to an electric motor which is 80 - 90% efficient. This is why governments are pushing electric cars!

Im 56 and have always bought used cars, never bought a new one, and this is the first time, in my life, where the car I own is worth more now than when I bought it. I have a 2012 BMW 318dse estate that i paid £3800 for about three years ago and when the cam chain snapped, last year, it was more sensible, financially, to have the engine rebuilt with a modified cam chain than to buy an equivalent BMW that was still on its original chain, which are a common fault on those cars and can snap at any time. It was huge news, when these cars were current models, that the cam chains, which were meant to be maintenence free forever, started snapping left right and centre and it cost BMW a pretty penny at the time. Even now (I've just checked), i can't find a good one, like mine, for less than about 5 grand. At the time i was deciding on whether to repair or replace i was looking at other cars too and it turned out that it wasnt only BMWs that were expensive, they all were. I saw a 2012 Mondeo Titanium estate and they wanted £6500 for it and a 2012 Jag x-type estate for about the same.

I think that insurers are putting part of the costs of EV insurance on ICE vehicle owners to try and make them sell. Motability has EV's costing £30,000 with no advance deposit but ICE Vehicles costing £18,000 with advance deposits of upwards of £500, this to me proves that those that want diesel or petrol are subsidising the advance payments of EV leasers. Dealers will overcharge for vehicles because they are having to pay more at auction for the vehicle, this then means the dealer either loses out by doing repairs and selling them at the price they would sell at or they increase the prices above what people would have paid months earlier. If the dealer wants the vehicle they will pay more than a private buyer at the auction to get the vehicles they want or lose out when the private buyer pays more than even the dealer is prepared to pay knowing that the vehicle needs work and the private buyer might have the knowledge to do the repairs.

The problem is that many company cars are now EVs. The benefit in kind tax means that you'll be mad to have anything except an EV. And your employer picks up the cost of coffees while you're charging. But 3 or 4 years down the road, that EV is not wanted. A private buyer can't take the risk, charging is a nuisance and expensive and insurance is too expensive.

I’d double check on the Clean Air Zone map as Edgbaston Cricket Ground isn’t in Birmingham City Centre. Edgbaston is outside of city centre.

Crazy mate, my 2013 ford b max 1.6 tdci titanium is £20 a year to tax but it doesn't comply with any clean air zone or ulez crap. petrol cars that comply with it produce more c02 and are higher in tax. work that one out 😂 I am gutted because I know this crap is coming over to Wales so il need to change my car at some point, I don't really want an ev cause I can't be bothered to stop and charge it all the time on motorways. By the way a tank of diesel typically lasts me around 3 weeks

[@acelectricalsecurity]

There's another KZbinr, who showed an offer on a nissan leaf for $20 per month on a 24 month lease, nothing down either, but there would be taxes to be added, it's only in Colorado, but they obviously are doing anything to get rid of them

[@coffeebreaktheology2634]

I don't know if this is possible, but a friend said to me today, why don't they buy up cheap EVs and convert them back to ICEs? I'd think it would mean a lot of work, but when you see the thousands in EV devaluation, it might seem like a viable option for someone with the expertise?

[@jamesaustralian9829]

It would be funny to get a Tesla, and whack the body on a range rover chassis, to effectively make a V8 Tesla.

[@claudiushempstead9893]

In my opinion at the very start of the EV revolution. The government’s should have fixed a weight maximum. The damage these heavy vehicles with the associated damage to our roads because of the hard suspension ( to make them sporty😅) Low profile soft tires and high performance brakes to stop the bloody things!! Particulates from the tires and brakes pollute the air. Just saying.

[@jcfallows]

If the market is as bad as you think, there will be some fantastic bargains in EVS!

[@keithhooper6123]

If less new petrol cars are being made,and sold,and buyers don't want electric,then used buyers either have to keep their cars,or pay more for the used cars that are available. I will keep my 2003 truck and 2007 car, both with 50,000 miles.

[@charliechristmas5147]

Fewer new petrol cars my friend…

[@jamesaustralian9829]

Sell you an Australian V8 ute shipped over for 30 grand

[@RB-lt8kt]

If it was all about clean air zones even EV's couldn't drive there because the electricity charging them can come from burning gas. Its just a city tax so the civil servants can have more money and nicer FREE lunches.

[@petergough2635]

I want to change my 66 plate 4 series however, what’s the point if in a few years time it’ll be worthless due to possible mandating of EVs. I’m waiting out to see how this and future governments finally decides the future for petrol/diesel, eg will they tax it out of existence or will it be kept in as an alternative to EVs.

[@julianhodgson1961]

I think a lot of people are taking a wait and see policy as we all know EVs are not the solution (to a problem that doesn’t exist anyway).

[@volt8684]

The govt will just stop the supply of fuel

Well aston barclay definitely allow recording because many youtubers do

[@trevorjlewis]

Stick with my 09 Nissan Xtrail Diesel, owned from new. It's a bit thirsty compared to modern diesels but for size, comfort and spec nothing newer comes anywhere near it. Even looking at 25k cars, nothing compares to it.

[@spice3767]

The tax changes mean electric cars that were previously exempt from paying the Expensive Car Supplement will now be in line with both petrol and diesel models.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@darrylwigginton1067]

Your allowed to film in barclay one as follow other dealers who do so

[@paulnewman9275]

Seven in ten electric vehicles will be stung with the additional £410-a-year 'luxury car' premium tax when VED exemption ends next year

[@DwaynePipes]

Oh, good. That will kill the EV market. Nobody will buy them even the leasing companies, all will go back to ICE. Trickle down will revitalise the ICE used market. They haven't really thought that one trough have they?😂

[@system11yt]

It's lucky it only takes £8 to make your diesel clean enough for the LEZ.

[@volt8684]

There are hundreds of unsold ice cars on e bay ?

Other KZbinrs have filmed at Aston Barclay auctions??

Your second option is what it's all about - tied in to removal of cash for central bank digital currency and 15 min cities - more and more people are starting to see the WEF's plans and the EV scam is a large part of it ..... sadly

[@MadIIMike]

If unfortunate circumstances force you to get a new EV, then make sure to lease it with a buyout option. While you'd still end up with a EV, you'd at least avoid most of the depreciation and unless you do it yourself, nobody blasted it with fast charges and so on.

I love my EV, it's a BMW i4 company car, saves me a fortune from running my Merc GLC, okay not everyone has 62K but for me it works.

[@conradmilson6654]

Well at least you won't suffer from the depreciation then. 👍

[@ralphthebulldog5163]

So, what about the export of older ICE vehicles to other countries? The EU has been encouraging the export of 'more polluting' vehicles to less well off countries for a good few years.
