We're here in the dodgiest city in the UK with one mission: to buy a crew car for less than £5000. And here's the catch - we can't leave until we've secured the deal. OK, Birmingham isn’t the worst city. But, if you’re in the UK, everyone will tell you NEVER to buy a car from Birmingham. In fact when you type in on Google ‘never buy’, the third result is ‘a car from Birmingham. But how bad could it really be?

Tried buying a car from Leicester, he showed us an hour late and told me I lied about the booking time even though it was in the text. Car was filthy, the bumpers and lights damaged, bonnet scratched to high heavens and the clutch was nearly gone, he listed it as immaculate. Would never even look at a car from Brum, Bradford or Leicester anymore.

Having lived in Birmingham in the past, the problem and reason why there are so many negative reviews for car purchases in the area, is partially due to the fact that its full of here today gone next week car supermarket type garages (or car supermarket garages that sell you a dodgy car one week and then when you go back, you find they've changed the name and signage slightly and are telling you its now a totally different company even though the staff are the same - I experienced this a few times). Buying private sale in Birmingham probably isn't that much worse than buying elsewhere.

They change the company name so often because they sell dodgy cars. The customers complain but never get their money back so they take them to court and win. The owners don’t wanna pay the debt so they just dissolve the business and open a new one and the same place to avoid paying. They’re usually selling dodgy cars at higher prices because they’re actually just fronts for money laundering

Having owned one and driven East coast to West coast and back in the US... ...yes, and no! Throw the stock LT engine in the bin and put something better in (M57 BMW engine would do it!), then check the brakes (terrible). And the suspension ('wafty' but zero performance and not reliable). We averaged around 16mpg (UK) across the whole journey, after having given it a tune up. The highlight - fitting 9 people in with comfort. 3 in the front bench, 3 in the middle row, 3 facing out the back as we drove to a food festival in New Orleans.

1. Delete the egr with a blanking kit and coolant bypass. The egr will fail and dump the coolant…. 2. Change the diff and transfer box fluids asap. I’ve not come across many that have had this done. 3.flush the gearbox and swap the filter. This will help it live longer. 4. Be careful with the detachable tow bar. There was a recall that replaced them with fixed units due to detachment failures….. 5. There are upgrade modules to replace the cd changer in the glovebox with a good wired connector for crappie & android devices.

I purchased my first car from Birmingham, it was an ex company/fleet car with full service history and being only 4 years old was very clean. I suppose it depends who you buy your car off in the first place. I've been to see other cars in Birmingham that were listed online only to find out that the sellers were running chop shops and unrecorded accident repair dealerships. Which is why Car Vertical or alternative check is so vital before making your purchase, unless its unrecorded. Then it's still just a gamble!

Ironically, the most reliable used car that I’ve bought was my old 330i bought from a chap in Birmingham. Anything from Keighley is a massive no no though…. I typically skip any car that has wind deflectors and even faster if the front seats are reclined to a silly angle. 😂

Well, I once bought a secondhand Volvo privately from Balsall Heath - and it had loads and loads of history, had been well maintained, and the seller was a genuinely nice guy. The car, which was bought as a beater, gave me good service for a couple of years - and I would have kept it, but had no need for it in the end and…….I couldn’t sell it! So sadly it was scrapped.

I think this raises the point that it really depends on the car you're buying from birmingham. A volvo estate has not been driven about by some tosser with a stud earring and neck tattoo compared to a bmw 1 series etc.

My dad got an '04 L322 last year for 2 grand I was dreading the MOT results; surprisingly only needed a new balljoint and control arm, pleasantly surprised until it took me TWO DAYS of heating and beating, grinding and cursing to get the bloody rusted-in things out. Still, it's fixed now. One common issue is all the electronics for the radio, sat nav and amps are in the boot, right near a common water ingress point, causes a ton of electrical issues when this gets wet and involves tearing the whole lot out and replacing it with a sensible aftermarket headunit. Problem solved.

The term don’t buy a car from Birmingham comes from the 70’s as going back then they used to put a lot of salt on the roads so you could guarantee they would be rotten underneath, those days are gone and nowadays cars are treated underneath so really there is no more a risk buying a car from brum than anywhere else in the country.

Fun thing about that old Buick barge, it came with a factory heavy duty towing package that was unique to the buick, unlike its Chevy Caprice, and Oldsmobile Vista cruiser siblings. They were rated to tow between 5-6,000 lbs. And with it's Dyna-ride rear air ride, it would self level.

This Range Rover suffers from the same issue mine did. My one also came with multiple key fobs. The issue is that RF Security Receiver has a BMW design flaw. If you park it in an area of WiFi or in a car park that uses WiFi based CCTV, it wakes up the security system drains the battery a bit and shuts down. It keeps doing this until the battery is flat. Eventually the car refuses to start the car. Car attack sensor? So you go to the dealership and get it paired back to the car again. The dealership doesn't know what it is and then offers the solution of a NEW key fob! Guess what, it didn't solve the problem! A few key fobs later and a Internet search with other Range Rover owners and they told me that the RF Receiver was known to have this fault and was updated with a newer version. It fixed it! If you go to the forums, you'll see hundreds of people post the same thing
