The red Honda Jazz problem was that Honda thought they’d cracked it, by putting a clear coat over it. Great except it still faded, but *under* the lacquer 😩😂

When I get that I reduce it to absolutely the least I can take, you can put that money into another car that might (?) be profitable, at least doing that makes me feel better anyway.

Proper metallic brown - I think really suits a mini clubman, and it also depends on spec. My mate has a Kuga in met brown, which sounds awful, but because it's the titanium X actually really suits it. I always loved red cars personally, but it has put me off them since I've been selling cars. It angers me that people don't like red. Got stuck with a red fiesta for months, and it was such a nice car.

I do OK with leggy stuff, tbh they're usually good cars, serviced to the bollo**s, you've just got to make them unbelievabley cheap, as you say a newish car with 100k is hard work but not a 10 year old one, never had a problem with red cars, yes back in the day no one wanted white cars, I remember hearing aid beige Vauxhall, they were bizarre, we'd call BL russet Brown, gusset Brown, I can't stand cars being stuck, I like em to go before their 2nd wash, last year only car that stuck was a 19 plate c3 with 110k,but 1 owner and proper main dealer history, I ended up blowing on it after 3 mths, but what a nice car, I'm like Dave, always would go for high miles, late car with fsh, but maybe it's a trader thing?

Following on from what you are saying about high mileage stuff....I have just mentioned a Fiesta I've got in my latest video, silver, 5 door, zetec, 1.2, 1 owner, 42k miles, 10 plate under autotrader guide price at £4695 and haven't had a sniff, where as I think if it had 60-70k miles at £3995 it would have gone. So older, low mileage stuff can be hard to sell because it can look expensive because of the mileage.
@cardealerpro5 ай бұрын
Your right! Old cars low mileage can stick around, like the scenic we took in part ex…still here….60k miles on older cars is the magic formula! Right price, sensible mileage equals a quick sale

For red read 'poverty spec' 😂 I've had 3 red cars: 1978 Ford Escort Mk2 1.3 Pop, 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.6S and a 1997 Nissan Primera 2.0 GX. The Escort definitely was poverty spec, the Fiesta was sporty so red was okay (back then) and the Primera was Hobson's Choice but we got a good deal on it. Would I choose red now? No!!
