#autoalex #Tesla #cars - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Hi everyone, Alex here! Just letting you know that we've read the many comments from you telling us you're not happy with the price that was negotiated for the Mira. Taylor has spoken to previous owner Lewis and we've renegotiated back up to £1500.
While we love getting a good deal on a car, we now know that the Mira deal was simply too good, and we're sorry you feel we took advantage! On face value, the car needs a full respray, brakes, tyres, suspension, bushes etc but we did not know about the diff, nor the incredible condition of the underside, which makes this car even more special!
To everyone watching and who supports the channel (especially Lewis), we're sorry you feel let down. We love buying, making videos and going on adventures, but we do occasionally make mistakes / misjudge situations, which is always brought to our attention.
So thanks everyone for helping us be better!
Cheers guys,
Alex
Fair play
Good on you 👍
Nice work.
If it was a car you found on marketplace and negotiated down that would have been a bargain but for follower to reach out with a car and get slammed down on price was a bit cruel. Glad you gave Lewis the £1500 initially agreed.
@AutoalexCars Tried messaging all 3 of you on instagram about an AC Schnitzer BMW E60 I found locally (to me), but no luck 😬
I feel they're exploiting there fan base a bit. £2000 for that is a bargain. It's not like you cant afford that
Absolutely. You nailed it. Using their minor celebrity to manipulate people for good content. Better content would be doing a fair deal. Everybody wins.
Alex is turning into a proper dick since his success with this channel.
It's not like he had to sell it for that price.
@@miskatonic6210it's like there is some unwritten rule, that you have to give money to your favourite CZcamsrs.
@miskatonic6210 the problem is, they used a position of power and essentially exploited the lad.. he probably wanted to see the car on CZcams and meet one of the guys, £1500 was a great price for it anyway, but I think Taylor really took the piss
@@ligma_nutz that's what I wanted to say but didn't know how to word it haha
For a turbo Kei car with no rust, I hope you go back and give Lewis at least £400 extra for it. Even at £2k it was a steal!
Ooohhhh I hope... just hush. No one cares about your opinion... he took the offer.
@@woodshop7487 look at all the other comments saying the same as I said, pretty much everyone agrees, they robbed him!
@chriswatson7488 still.. no one cares. Seller was happy with the offer.... something is only worth what someone is willing to pay... bore off...😴😴😴😴
@@chriswatson7488 Lmao it's not robbery to get a good deal. You're a moron. The whole point of something being robbery is that it's unauthorised, that's the main aspect and if you lack that then it's very hard to actually call it anything close to robbery.
As mentioned by a few others £1500 was already a bargain it would cost nearly that to get it imported do the right thing lads and give the guy the difference he obviously wanted to help you guys out and offered it to you for a good price all the good work you guys do I got every faith you will put this right
I think Taylor should keep that as he found it, negotiated it, collected it and is clearly super excited by it. Alex should keep looking and get a pick up for the 3 way tour.
Yes! That sounds amazing! Alex deserves a little 4x4 K-truck!
a 4x4 kei truck like a honda acty would be awesome!
All Alex did was try too hard to be funny by attempting to pick it up with his big huge guns
Parts wise for the engine you can actually find new from Malaysia as Perodua Kancil. Its a rebadge of the Daihatsu Mira. There’s even a performance parts for it brand spanking new hope Taylor and Alex sees this comment
@@MysteriousFigure He definitely needs a truck so he’s got added room for his ego!
Great little car and excited to see more videos on it, but fucking hell Taylor you fleeced that poor lad. Even for you that's out of order, for a turn-key car with such a clean underbody the agreed-upon £1500 was far more than fair.
cry moor
Love you guys and love your cheekiness when trying to negotiate a bargain, but unfortunately have to agree with consensus on this one, £1,100 is a bit of a low blow, especially as the lad had to give it up due to a “change of circumstances” and clearly loved it enough to get it shipped from Japan in the first place. Please listen to your fans on this one and do the decent thing ❤️
Yeah, I feel bad for them, I'm starting to dislike them, I'd be okay even if they negotiated it down to prove they could, and then pay them the actual fair price, because bargains are good content yes.. but, you should still pay people fairly
@@Foggy404 can you say honestly, that if you bought a car, in a hedge, which was not proven to run or drive, no access to check the condition underneath and then you found it better than you expected when you got it home, would you phone up the seller and give them more money. No, you wouldn't. You would count yourself lucky and offset it against other stuff you had bought (like the AA crew have) that you had then found to be worse. Some you win, some you lose. This time they 'won' but have 'lost' plenty of times before now.
a deal is a deal, if he wanted more money there is nothing stopping him from declining.
There is such a thing of taking advantage of someone. Read the room!
Come on lads don't fleece the poor guy, either give him the £400 or give him the car back once it's restored!
Great idea mate!
Turn it in.... he took the offer, no one forced him. Absolute clown
Boys come on,it was cheap anyway. If any item is worth what it’s advertised for just pay the man you will get a bad rep boys this isn’t bargain hunt 🤦♂️
I think some people just need to feel like they "win" by haggling on things that are already fairly priced.
Snow flake
I mean the guy could have always not sold it?
@@TB41n0 mate far from it !!
Agreed you can’t be that low on money
£1500 was already a solid price to begin with and he probably set it at that because of who you are and him being a fan.
To then get another £400 off for seemingly no other reason than to brag about it on video is a real kick in the teeth.
It will get to the point where your followers won’t bother selling anything if the end result is lowering the price further and you publicly bragging about it afterwards.
Taylor really took the piss haggling him down further. That car's worth 1500 all day, every day.
No it was worth 3000 to 3500 all day long
has the haggling been edited out?
No. It was sitting in a bush, the owner probably just wanted it gone.
If the lad wanted more he’d have advertised it for much more. If you could get a car cheap I bet you wouldn’t hesitate
£2k, down to £1.5 then £1.1 when they turned up - this is why I HATE selling cars. If a legit channel follower offered this up they should have done him a solid and paid a fair price, not gloat about how much they managed to mug him off.
Lewis absolutely deserves £2000 for that car. Do the right thing and pay the man what he wanted. It's worth that much all day long, don't take advantage of someone clearly in a desperate situation.
@@justrandomstuff84 Did you just say you could get a mint kei car for £666?! On what planet
I disagree. Just because it's a sale on CZcams it's still a sale. If I can get something cheaper I will try. The seller can always say no
You pay ME £2000 please. I deserve that, too. It's the right thing.
He wasn't desperate. As said in the video if you was listening, he said that the guy had it just sat there and hadn't driven it in ages. Additionallly, if he was desperate, he would've sold it earlier or not have even bought it in the first place.
@@not_mamba I agree and this is a fuss over nothing. I wish someone would knock on my door a week after I had sold a car and say "it's better than we thought, here's a few hundred quid". You agree a sale as adults and move on.
I feel sorry for the guy that sold this car!
not their first rodeo, fleecing the subscribers :(
@@beegtea How did he get fleece'd? if he didn't want to sell it at the price he wouldn't. the rich get richer by haggling, not paying the asking price because it's "a fair price"
@@lxcid3944what are you on about you Si? Taylor already agreed on a lowball price. This is the exact equivalent of agreeing a price then when you come to get the car the seller bumps the price up £500 when its on the trailer. Stop damage controlling for Taylors behaviour. He done the boy over end of.
@@lxcid3944 Truest thing i've ever heard. I watch a dude called High Peak Autos and the only way he can actually sustain his car business is by getting cheap cars and selling them for more. The game is the game
I think you need to have some fun with it, deffo to the 'ring with 4 people in it. But then give it back to the poor lad you ripped off, cos 1100 quid was a damn steal!
Agreed, had to dislike this video cause of him cheaping out on someone again
how was it a rip off? Was anyone else offering more?
Fan from Japan here. So excited to see the 軽(Kanji meaning light, which symbolizes the Kei-car.) on your channel. Seems like you got the earlier iteration of the 4th gen of Mira, which was the last gen you could get one of these TR-XXs. Those patterns you see on the floormats and seats were all the rage back then.
Also, these were designed in the era when manufacturers actually had a lot of money, so that explains how well-built it is. In fact, some of these albeit in small numbers still roam around the countryside.
The piece of paper with the old man was a free ticket to take a course to learn how to use a PC, which is a cottage industry of sort. (The old man shows an example of someone struggling with the PC. )Its likely that the dealer man threw it in as part of the premium service deal.
I seldom comment on videos so sorry for the long comment, but I genuinely enjoy your content! Best of luck to you all
, from Japan.
(P.S. Apologies for my English as its not my first language )
Your English is first rate!! There are people here in America who don’t understand English anywhere near as well as you, sir.
@@ReverendNaughty Thanks, I appreciate your compliment! (^^)
Apologies? If you didn't mention it, I would assume that you are a native speaker, your English is perfect.
It's funny to see you apologising for your English when it's far better than the majority of native speakers. 😂
Pay the fella his £400 or fix it right up and give it back. You well and truly fleeced the guy.
Yeah , sorry guys. That was a bit mean. You should have stuck to the £1500.
Yeah not sure why they’re trying to squeeze every penny out of someone they know is a fan? The extra £400 is nothing to Alex, the ad rev from this video + sponsorships generate so much
have they edited the haggling out?
@@calumdennis9970No. The guy wasn’t available on the day. Taylor did the deal the following day.
@@TomTom-gs7wyThey’re running a business, not a charity. If the guy didn’t want to sell at that price he’d have said no.
@@trainman665 Have you thought that he was probably worn down by Taylor and a bit blinded by being a fan of the channel?
Didnt like that Taylor mate. Lad obviously fallen on hard times and you agreed£1500. Bit shitty to be honest.
We don't know what happened there. There's no need to jump to conclusions. What i find more shitty is that people are quick to judge, without actually knowing the full story. Why not just enjoy the content instead of thinking about the worst possible outcome? Besides, isn't it better that a car is owned and driven, instead of sitting by the road, collecting mud?
Fallen on hard times? He never said that, just the circumstances changed. That could mean married, kids and it was left in a hedge, for a year! Hard times means it gets sold ASAP.
@@zer0bresure pal. Agreeing a lowball price then changing the lowball even further when you find out the guys on hard times is legit. Cool mate you stick to them morals and i wish you luck in life coz you're gunna need it😂
@@JimWhitesRolledUp20note You are FAR more likely to succed in life if you're willing to make a profit.
Comments aren't happy! Resto the Mira and give it back to the lad!
Ohhhhhhh damn this is a good one
This is the one make it right @autoalex
Indeed, after a four men up road trip as a thorough test drive
I don't think they should give it back, he wasn't driving it for some reason, rather restore it and maybe give him 2-400 quid back. No one wants to spend 4 grand restoring a car and giving it back to someone who didn't want it.
The lad wanted 'around' £2000 for the KEI car, which compared to anything else they had found was cheap. He agreed to take £1500. Beating him down to £1100 is a bit shitty.
Only getting 55% of the original asking price is a poor deal for the seller.
General consensus in the comments is you should have given him 'around' £2000, not £1000.
Not cool guys. I'd say the young lad selling the car probably needed the £400 difference more than you do. You should pay him the price you agreed.
Yeah a bit harsh, but it was in a hedge for a year, that doesn't smack of desparation to me. It could have been sold immediately when the guy knew it wasn't the appropriate car for a much better price.
The flip side can be the bloke in Scotland selling a shite bike for £1200. That was never worth £1200, but he kept the price high cos he knew with cameras etc he could dtay high on the price.
@@invisiblekid99 why sink to his level
Right, so he's asking for £2000 but knocks it down to £1500 after asking. Straight away that tells me he's a bit desperate. That car for the parts and rarity over here is easily worth that money and frankly is a steal at that price. If that had been the purchase price then fair enough. But unless you've subsequently uncovered some previously undisclosed major faults or issues with the vehicle on inspection, to then take him down to £1100 smacks of taking advantage of someone, be that their situation or personal characteristics. That's not a good way to demonstrate the positive side of the car community and looks bad on the channel.
If the young lad needed the other 400 he wouldn’t of dropped the price
They agreed on 1100, what are you talking about mate?
Sounds like you fleeced the poor lad 😮 why not just pay the 1500.
because the owner said yes to the price, are you a bit slow?
Nahhh sounds like they did a deal he turned up put more pressure on him and ripped the lad off, it was clearly worth more. Bad karma in my opinion.
@@murry001There is no need to be insulting. If you are comfortable with haggling yourself then you might not fully appreciate the level of confidence, skill and product knowledge (or ability to lie convincingly) that is required to do it well. I’m on the other end of the spectrum and more likely to get ripped off by a seller but same principle applies. We don’t know how the haggling went down and it might even transpire that the seller did not care how much he got. But at least as presented in this video, it is not a good look at all. There are people spouting slogans like “the game is the game”. But it’s funny how these games always tend to work in favour of the unscrupulous.
@@Karras353 Mate, if he didn't want to sell for 1100 he would've said no, i can't imagine taylor went round there threatening him to sell for 1100 you donut
@@lxcid3944 Yes but I kind of feel that you are not reading what I actually said. Which is fine, you do you. But my point is that various aspects of high pressure salesmanship and FOMO mean that saying no can be much harder in practice than you and various others would have us believe. Without details of the negotiations we cannot possibly know what tactics Taylor used or how Lewis responded.
Bit rough on the guy negotiating it down so much. Do a full 180 and fix it up, have your fun with it then give it back to the original owner? Everyone wins
You boys did the lad dirty for that price he already said hes going through financial hardships and you haggled him even more.
Who said that?!
Always spot a weakness when doing a deal and was there a queue of people wanting to buy it....obviously not.
Not a big fan of the way they haggled a fan of the channel for £400, considering that seems like an insignificant expense for the channel. He was already selling it for less than its worth. I get that they have to consider the financial aspect, but it does seem unfair.
Yeah felt a bit off tbh :/
doesnt feel right when they are getting all these parts given to them for free as sponsors to fleece the guy out of £400 when it was already a great deal.
Was he selling tho? It was a mate of his asking if he wanted to and he went, erm OK. It's not the same as it being listed, it was an off the cuff decision.
@@invisiblekid99Shit lad are they paying you to run defense?
@@blairinferno4675Nah, I asked but they told me they’re too tight.
Bit of a shyster move knocking the already reduced price right down.
The owner should have told Taylor to bolt.
But he didn't. No cameras, just Taylor and a "my mate said he'd let it go for..." deal. Knowing it was for the show, it wasn't being advertised for sale, it was in a hedge for a year, he's in a position to stick to the price if really wanted to.
agreed...
@@invisiblekid99
👆 can tell these two are future thieves if not already
@@JimWhitesRolledUp20note What? Brother you do know that the most fundemental part of business is getting stuff for cheap then selling it for a profit???
@@benny7682 in business if you go back on agreed prices you get hauled up to court for it. So whats your point?
Haven't watched MCM for years. I'd leave it standard, fix up the suspension, maybe up the power. take it on a tough road trip. But first, pay the guy the extra £900.
Shame! They have some pretty rad material!
The MCM guys went to Malaysia not long ago driving a Perodua Kelisa (Daihatsu Mira) on a 24 hour race. It's worth a watch.
There is something as getting a good deal ... and ripping some one off. Lewis deserved that 1500 at the very least and you would have gotten a super deal. That extra 400 seemed rather brutal.
Reading these coments now, clearly not the only person here thinking thise. Great to read.
I think they robbed the bloke for that car, did they turn up with bats or something?
Marty and Moog are awesome too.
they the OGS
By awesome you mean Moog is a moron with three sayings and poo jokes? No thanks.
Guys... pay the man the additional 400. You really ripped him off.
He definitely needs the money more then you guys
Okay then, I'm sure I need money more than you do! So how much are you willing to give? None? Oh right because you are also selfish!
yeah, no, this is genuinely disappointing to see from you guys. I think the right thing to do here would be to go back to Louis with 400€. this is just scummy. 1500£ that you agreed with him on was dirt cheap to begin with, as you said yourselves.
Awww, i hoped to see the actual lunch segment, like the kebab run in the old days
Perfect car for Alex, its like a normal size car to him
If anything it’s too big. He needs to try not slip the clutch too much on this one😅
Still loads of leg room
Wait until Hammond gets in it
tbh i felt 1100 was extremely low , happy i came down to the comments to see everyone else is on the same page, do the right thing and at least pay him the 1500 or the 2 he asked
I usually love these guys, the videos are really fun but they truely robbed that guy. What a bargain to get it for 1500 but haggling 400 more off the price is crazy and disrespectful, especially because its a subscriber… they should pay him back the £400 or give the guy the car back with fresh paint and looking nice, that would be an awesome thing to see.
You guys robbed Louis.
Please, please, please collaborate!! Early MCM was the best ever
The blue turd 🤝
MCM is still gold. 0% fake stuff or fake personalities
@@piuthemagicman it is mate. I just have a thing for simplicity, having a go and shitboxes
@da-mazing8500 I do agree with you 110% but here we have alex
In the bin
Pay the lad the £400, £1500 was the agreed price.
no, 1100 was the agreed price.
Louis got done dirty
You did Louis dirty by reducing the price even more after you agreed to 1500. Once a car salesman, always a car salesman.
EDIT: Good on the guys for rectifying the situation. I'm not the deal police and I would still love it if you tried to get the lowest possible price, just in some cases maybe haggle as much as you can but then pay a fair-ish price to the seller if the situation calls for it. Looking forward to the kei car roadtrip 👍.
Taylor did. But Louis also should've told him to get lost when he tried to cut the price down even more. £1500 or go home with no car.
@@MrManBuzz That's true, but he was probably under pressure, because it's a youtuber you look up to that's in front of you. He probably thought that he knows better what his car is worth.
@@MrManBuzzSaying yes is a hell of a lot easier than saying no in some circumstances.
@@honestmstk9790 I get that, and there's the factor of dealing with a 'personality' (for lack of a better term) but still, if you're smart you could leverage that against them. They need the car for content. They agreed a price over the phone. Stick to it.
After all, it isn't like they were told the car was a certain way and Taylor turned up and saw the car was in a much worse condition than was expected. If anything, it looks to be in way better condition than you'd have initially thought.
@@CaptainHoratioPugwash I know that. Trust me I do. But I've sold enough cars at this point to learn how you deal with jokers who try to cut an already agreed price down further (without legitimate reasons like major issues undisclosed).
You give me the agreed price. Or leave. Unfortunately a lot of people are either too nice or too easily manipulated to stand up for themselves like that, and car dealers in particular prey on that. And dealers wonder why they have a reputation of being the scum of the earth.
Just the random screaming 😂😂😂😂 what an imitation of Alex
Very nice car. But the price stumped me a bit when you talked about it. Reading the other comments the sentiment seems to be the same across the board.
1500 was a really good price, hell even at 2k it would have been a steal for that condition.
I'd really try to make things right with the seller. However that may be is up to you guys.
Daylight robbery for 1100. Wow.
You must be a royal moron if you think that something is robbery when both parties agree. I do not care how much money you have, if there is two options on a table, identical but one was cheaper, the vast majority if not all people would seek the cheaper option, even if it doesn't benefit them that much if at all.
You robbed that poor chap getting this for £1100.
Gloating about it was cringe asf I said go back and give him the 400 they probably spend that on lunch in a fortnight
defo! @@AI-Records24
Total low balling pisstakers
@@AI-Records24especially with the ad revenue
Disgusting
I feel for Louis man🥺
you should fix it up, paint it, and give it back to Louis.
fantastic car. Great to see MCM involved. I have the feeling the car was slightly stolen though, off the lad who sold it. As he only parted with it due to changed circumstances and loved the car: Do it up and give it back to him after you had your fun with it.
Not a big fan of having Top dead center constantly spoiled, but I guess it's inevitable for now..
Well I would expect it to come out tomorrow assuming that they are getting back to there Friday schedule
They did mention on the podcast (I think) that Alex was looking for a new unit for Autoalex, so TDC could have this unit.
it is promoting... they are doing it to help build that channel up as fast as they can.
@@deanbab Promoting would be saying "subscribe to TDC, they're coming up with something very interesting". Literally showing what they bought before they could show it on their own channel is called spoiling. They share a unit for now, so that's just how it is..
Ain't no way you got Daihatsu Mira😁😁 Marty just came in Cheryl's mistery box after seeing this😂😂 one of the biggest projects for MCM👍
I get that getting money off is a challenge, but this car was worth way more than the 2000 he originally wanted and taking it for 1100 is just a little unfair. Especially with the amount of money being spent on camera so often.
I'll agree with the sentiment here. The guy is a fan, he loved the car so much but had unexpected circumstances and was asking for such a low price. 1500 was already a killer deal, lowering it more and boasting about it is just mean. You're a growing channel, you've got the money, give the chap what he was asking for, be better than this.
FASTEST Click ever😅 love those little toy cars😂
i have one and omg i've never clicked a video so fast, this is favorite channel talking about one of my cars
Brilliant to see you're continuing to promote TDC and work together towards a shared success.
I'm sure Alex owns a stake in their channel.
@@Audi0Surferz They are sharing a garage. Glad to see these breakaway channels teaming up. Spoilers on the new TDC car though
Go back and give him the agreed price. Bad press and taking the pi%# out of people is not a good look. That’s worth more in parts. As you said it’s spot on.
Lads pay attention to these comments, and make it right.
MCM got me into the CZcams car scene. I love the fact that these two channels have made contact. The future of car entertainment on CZcams is looking bright!
MCM were great 8 years ago when there was no competition. Once there are options Moog became what he always was, a dull bolt on VW guy.
Tooks words out my mouth
I own a Daihatsu Charade (L251) inspired by The Skid Factory, and also Marty's nugget they drove to the centre of Australia. I absolutely love it, in all its rusty, dented, nuggety glory.
Guaranteed, there is a perished component under the bonnet that is basically unobtainium in the UK, and it costs £1000+ duties+ shipping from Japan.
No one is letting that car go for £1100 without there being a massive obstacle to passing the MoT.
This was my thought too. Parts aren't exactly off the shelf items in this country, and may not be even in Japan. Everyone is assuming that "change in circumstances" mans the guy is hard up for cash but maybe him and his mrs had a baby and he hasn't the time to put into the project nor the use for it afterwards and just wants it gone. If it was worth thousands then he could have sold it any time since it went in a hedge, but didn't which tells me he isn't in dire need of the money and is happy to help out the channel and probably knows only too well that the car needs a good few quid spending on it.
Surely pay him £1500 for it. Another £400 off that was super snakey.
What's so weird is I have just finished watching James may in Japan and there was an episode with Kei cars. The universe has synchronised
It's just all the tracking that happens, so you get sold more contents for someone to make profit of you.
Your every desire catered too by the great algorithm
Alex usually Kei's cars!
Awesome, might car mods is a good challenge.
They are modifying a copen as well for the track.
Shoutout to Lewis for taking the financial hit to make this episode possible.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Shoutout to his family 🐹
Wow that is dirty! I hope he got some sort of benefits or discount off something because that was worth 1500 all day. That was stolen at 1100 😮
Alex: Look it's bent in the middle
Taylor: Same
😅
Mighty car mods!!!! Literally watched every episode for the last ten years 👍👍👍 the best 4 wheel drive channel on interballs😂😂😂
Clean it up and restore it.
Under seal it so it’s perfect.
Do some mods, have some fun, make some vids.
Then give it back to the guy you got it from.
You boys should feel bad, you’ve mugged the poor guy off with £1100
I bloody love mighty car mods!! My favourite CZcams channel by far 😁 they are the best 4x4 channel on the interbals
Nice. I had a letter printed in Autocar back in the day complaining that the Beat wouldn't be available in the UK.
Think you need to repay that lad the money you conned him out of. I'm really going off this channel, I've already binned the podcast for it's cheap humour.
Sorry guys but you took advantage of your position as CZcamsrs and ripped that lad off.
Pay him what it's worth!
Worth more than £1500 any day. Please don’t ruin it or break it just for fun on the off road coarse
Skipped straight to the end to see if Jack and Ethan are teased
Auto Alex & Mighty Car Mods collab would be insane!!!
I think You guys did nothing wrong. Chap could said „No”, but he didn’t so to bad. Keep up the good work and don’t let people make you fell bad 💪
Marty and Moog would never have beat an extra £400 off the price.. let alone from a subscriber..
You agreed to the price, and then you haggle that poor lad and are smiling about it on camera what a great steal that car was... from a SUBSCRIBER... Come on guys that £400 is not going to change anything for you guys just pay the price you agreed on and enjoy the car, this series will make you alot more than your money back..
I don't think Marty and Moog would have tried to haggle down much from £2000 to be honest.
@@pursuitforspeed Exactly.. They always or most of the time just pay the asking price sight unseen, because they know it will make for a good video.
@@CaponeDK I guess the difference is that MCM actually have respect for their fans, whereas Alex appears to have no issues with using his influence to outright do dirty by the same people who 'made him'.
Please give this car the full treatment. Ice blasting the lot!. Fair play for getting MCM to contact you back!
We can all agree we need more Kei on this channel!
Oh and Ethan has an SMX, could be a dragrace? ;)
The smx has probably been punted on FB marketplace like the rest of the CT fleet
@@groeacht8525 Oh have CT listed all their old cars on FB. I noticed a new vid from the channel and it seems they are done with project cars and the such.
@@groeacht8525 The SMX wasn't a CT car. It was bought by Jack and Edwin as a gift for Ethan
Not a single comment mentioning the absolute LEGENDS that is Mighty Car Mods
I feel a bit sorry for the person who they bought it off. The guy has been had big time. That car is worth far more than what you paid. Do the car up have your fun with it then give it back to Lewis. It is not like you need the money. Please don't forget where you guys came from. Don't become just like the others.

Mightycarmods: "We challenge you to buy a Kei car for £2k."
Rory: "Instructions unclear, accidentally bought a Bentley Continental GT."
"I mean the vin says it's an e36 320d and the motor has a Toyota badge on it but the seller is funny and I've always wanted a Bentley, let's offer him 95% of the asking price and get going!"
Should have paid 2k for that. You've got the money. You abused your clout and pulled the guys pants down. Shame on you..
Who cares?
If they didn't hustle him someone else would, stop hating on them. There living the best life you should too
@@KaiCheetahcurrently 700 people and counting
@@reecesmith5043doesn't mean it's right or that they should gloat about it
owner offered a price, buyer countered, owner could've countered, refused or accepted. Did the latter, take a chill pill, having money or not doesn't mean you should throw it away, get a life.
Saw all the prices online, beat your seller way down, then gloated about it?
Maybe he was happy just to get rid of it, but it came across like Taylor ripped him off, and then rubbed it in his face.
I used to have one of the UK spec avanzatos. Amazing little cars
660cc 16 valve, turbo charged with intercooler, JB-JL engine, 64bhp, revs to 8500rpm, boosts to 14psi.
kerb weight of just 768kg - 0 to 60mph in 8.5 seconds!
Mine was 4-wheel-drive via a push rod on the transfer case.
This is the greatest car you have ever had on your channel. Like ever.
Mainly because it's not another BMW
If you do a road trip with the TDC guys, maybe try and find Aussie or Japanese themed destinations along the way?
At least you can let Edwin loose on it and do some cleaning 😂
I used to get slightly annoyed every time Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers used to stripe up some poor, impoverished medical student, looking to sell their banger so they could buy their parents a present for all their sacrifices (for example), and he'd come away gleefully shouting at the camera that he'd "stolen it", carping on about what a great negotiator he was...happened about every other episode! You guys do it once, and get hammered for it! I guess that's the power of instant feedback on content - which is a great advantage. The content is great, and love the channel.
Yes, the car needs some work but as the guy told you, he’s going trough a rough patch and needs to sell it. Trough CZcams views and sponsorships you will make loads of money so you could have just paid him the £2k asking price. I’m sure he needed that money more than you lot.
MCM… chopped!!! They also got me into CZcams …
Also, listen to ‘these city lights’ by moog!!! Have that in the background… awesome tune
Oh yes!! And Chasing midnight + more... Moog is such a multitalented artist
Getting major flashbacks of tying to tune these in Gran Turismo 4
goddamn same 😆👌
I was kinda annoyed when Taylor was so smug about his haggling. And glad to see the comments that I am not the only one...
Mighty Car Mods and yourself are by far my 2 favourite youtube channels and the fact that the 2 channels are coming together makes me super excited for the future! I have watched your channel since day one and I followed your journey for a long time when you where at Carthrottle and I have watched @mightycarmods nearly from day one as well! Seeing a kai car on your channel makes me super happy as I've always had a soft spot for the little Japanese nuggets due to @mightycarmods! Although I do not own a kai car I do own a Mitsubishi Colt CZT as its alot of car for the money but its still small and Japanese. Love your channel, the podcasts and the videos! Keep up the awesome work and super excited!
Love from myself from Thurso, Scotland!
Just freshen it up, future-proof it so it can be preserved as the cute rarity that it is, anything more than OEM+ as you discussed seems unbecoming in my opinion.
I'm not as affected as other people seeing you get the deal you did but i do think an offer back for what you paid would be in order once you've had your fun with it. On the other hand... "Marge"? Really? Mighty was right there! I thought it'd fit perfectly given theme and irony involved!
Keep at it, excited for what's next!👌
Mk1 mx5 eunos alloys fit 4x100 daihatsus perfectly 😉
So do Kia Picanto wheels, correct offset and bore diameter too.
They'd probably cheap out on those sellers too though
Except that the L502 is 4x110
@@72mardythen you’ve told me I’m correct, as that ain’t 4x100 man lol cheap mx5 alloys made by Enki. Amazeballs
@@Hrossey sorry mate, you aren't correct. The L200 and L500 Mira are 4x110mm, not 4x100mm (so is the L600 Move). The L700s Mira is 4x100mm, as is the M100 sirion.
This episode was awesome, never ever would I of thought that you’d make a video featuring Marty & MOOG from MCM, being a huge fan of the both channels and being an Aussie Fan, this has honestly made my day!
Can’t wait to see what you do to the Mira, you’ll have so much fun in it! ❤
My dad was given a Daihatsu Move for free years ago and it was a proper giggle. I drove from Manchester through Wales to Cardiff and back and it cost £25 in fuel. Used to lift the back wheel on roundabouts as well 😂😂
One of the most unexpected collaborations on CZcams, just what everyone needed✌️
Agree with many other comments. Bad form beating the seller down on price like that then gloating about it on camera.
Now you're talking my language! Let this show that you can stray from BMW and even from German underpinnings and still be happy. I love BMWs, but more variety is good! Cant wait for more on this nugget. And yes please collab more with MCM!
Brilliant love to see mighty car mods getting involved they are the OGs for this sort of channel, i have watched those guys for ever back when they did the cars on their driveway until very late at night slightly annoying their neighbours 😂😂 would be great to see a little visit to japan and a collaboration with you guys in the future!
