Totally no need to justify yourselves the deal was done and the seller was happy with the price.....still by far the best car channel on youtube.....keep them coming guys.
Completely agree, too many cry babies in the comments
I agree, but, there was almost 2k people who disagree so it does make sense they justified it
yeh fuck all the whingers tbh, that car needs a load of work, that most of the commentors would go anywhere near. These guys need to pay for 4x4's, trailers, worskshop etc and rare parts on that car... if it was up to the whiners it would still be in bush.
Nah, there is a need to justify themselves. The original video they did it in a bit poor taste by gloating a bit about the low price. If they'd explained it a bit better about how they negotiated it down then nobody would have cared.
@@Conor42203you mean 2k crybaby people
That cup of tea is living life on the edge with all those elbows about.
spoiler alert...
😂😂😂😂 that is bloody hilarious 🌟
I split my hot chocolate after my wife put in on my arm rest, and I got in the car and leaned on the armrest, as I always do, straight away… Was not fun!
As a car dealer myself I never discuss what I paid for a car or made in profit as people get the hump. What they don't see is the hundreds of hours searching, travelling, prepping and selling the cars. This is also the same Alex that gave cars back to people who have lost loved ones and gave homeless man a van and a young man with terminal cancers his own car show!!! So come on guys taken way out of proportion. Love the content as always keep up good the work lads :)
come on, bit different. do you not see how the reaction to the Kei car by the audience was different to any other time? It was clear the guy was a fan and it’s like they took advantage of it. Nobody complains when Taylor or Alex talks about the other deals they do, it was just this in particular.
@@TomTom-gs7wyexactly, apples and oranges
Something Alex could use a lesson in.
One instance that stands out was when he was gloating and how much more he'd have paid for the JCW Mini engine in Germany. Acknowledging that the man didn't really know what he had.
Not a good look.
@@eddyk3 I'm sorry but the person selling it should have done his research and put the price accordingly. It's not for the buyer to tell the seller what he has. I'm happy if i can get a good deal done, wouldn´t you be?
@@PC-lo1ur100% agree
Fully justified why that money was paid- you're buying a car out of a bush for heavens sake. It was a big risk that paid off. And the video obviously condensed that into what people saw as not being open and fair. Credit to you guys for addressing it and also putting it fully right. Keep up the good work!
Everyone needs to understand that no one is ever forcing someone to sell their car, Taylor went looked at the car and made the chap an offer he accepted it, end of the story. If he wanted more money he could have said get the car up a lift look at it and if everything checks out you give me 1500 if it is rusty you give me 1100 or simply said no I do not want to sell it for that much and put it up on facebook, ebay, autotrader anywhere realy and sold it that way. Fair play on your part you accepted that the viewers felt differently about it and you rectified your "mistake" and everyone is happy now.
I bought a car recently for a steal, car was already 2000 cheaper than any other comparable one and I knocked another 1000 off for paint chips, scrapes and other little stuff he could have sold it for more but at the end he was happy and I was happy and same story goes for you guys. You never put a camera in the sellers face and make him uncomfortable you negotiate like anyone else would do so I think you guys are doing enough already to be as fair as possible to both parties.
Alright stop meat riding now
To be fair, Taylor is a professional and weapon of a negotiator. It would be difficult not to feel intimidated as a seller.
@@schte1n. You must be a child
During Covid I bought a Toyota FJ80 that had been off the road for 3 years. It was advertised for 1.8k, I contacted the seller and arranged to view the following day as very local. The advert had only been live for a few hours and I had a call back shortly after saying he had had loads of interest and has been told it was well underpriced which it was! I had a discussion with the seller and I still wanted to view even if he wanted a bit more for it.
When viewing the car it had clearly not been cleaned inside or out for many many years so difficult to see condition of paintwork but it ran, drove, stopped and all diffs engaged and there were no leaks and no milkshake. So certainly worth a punt. He said he was looking for closer to 2.8k so I just said meet in the middle and we shook on 2.3k. He got a bit more than he originally expected and I knew with an MOT it was worth 3x that but we were both happy.
After 4 x new tyres & fluid changes I was into it for 3k. Passed it's MOT and drove irregularly for a year, went greenlaning in it 3 times and created some memories with my son, which is priceless. Sold it after a year for 7k to a lovely Scottish chap who drove it all the way back home with his son. Everyone was a winner.
If you are selling something it is worth whatever someone is willing pay. That chap may have tried selling the car multiple times before and had no luck so something is better than nothing.... If you put loads of research into a certain vehicle you'll know what it's worth. If you just want it gone without the hassle of hours of research then you'll be happier with less...
Keep doing what you are doing guys - let's see some work done on all these cars you keep buying 😅 and looking forward to some challenges with TDC & ATG 👍🏼
@@schte1n then grow a pair and say no
Hate the fact you guys feel the need to have to apologise; you did nothing wrong, you made an offer, someone accepted it, they didn’t have to. Some people need to get over themselves. Your content is great, truly the only car content I watch that makes me grin and laugh out loud…and I’m a miserable bugger so that’s saying something! Keep on doing what you’re doing, great job!
People seem to forget that for all the cameras and fun this is a business. You all do an amazing job, you have given back to fans often and you are all brilliant. People will always have opinions about what they have access to online, and you can't appease them all. Can't wait for the next videos!
I do not think you guys or this channel need to justify yourselves. You absolutely have not let your fan base down. not only do you provide great content and come across in a very relatable manner, but I, as a fan, have not forgotten some of the incredible charity work, lives you've touched and changed all through your channel so kudos to you all...besides we all know Taylor could sell an Eskimo a bag of ice there's no wonder he got such a good deal haha.
But no lads seriously take it easy on yourselves.
@@bigduphusaj162 🤣
@@DH.91Nice comeback to that last guy. An emoji. What are you like 7yr old
👍
I think there's a bit of a communication issue there because of vagueness of "Change of circumstances" (Could mean anything, a lot of people assumed the worst , that he'd fallen on hard times so didn't have much choice to not sell), and also a bit of a power dynamic thing there to keep in mind as he was a fan. Just something to be aware of, though I didn't feel like you did anything wrong there really.
Yeah they just needed to be less vague.
Who the f cares, u start ur own channel and let’s see how u do with the vagueness of what comes of ur mouth.
Why do some CZcamsrs feel the need to apologise or explain yourself its got nothing to do with anyone I find it really annoying keep up the good work lads👍👍
You don’t own a business, clearly.
Simply because this stuff quickly snowballs into a bad reputation. They’re the most loved auto channel at the moment, but they did absolutely lowball Lewis out of that car, people wouldn’t be saying it if they didn’t! So it’s better to address and fix the problem now rather than later.
Because people were piling on in those comments, you need to address it otherwise those people rule the narrative
Didn’t know they still made whisper golds! Ugh want one now.
Just hopefully finished a scrap with the grim reaper and after a week in iccu I've gone to a ward. Loving the video podcasts and just fortunate that tucked away somewhere in your empire are my two dream cars, Alfred and the long lost Coupe Turbo .. Love what you're doing and despite drips, tablets and injections, let alone months of chemotherapy to come , every video is a guaranteed spirit lifter. Keep up your relentless drive to insanity, we're loving it 👍🏻
Alex is so old, he was born when the dead sea was only sick!
I feel there were a lot of people in the comments who had never bought a car. It's a game. You want to pay as little as possible, the seller wants to get as much as possible. The challenge is to get what you want, which ever side you are. Lesson here is dont stick your car in a bush when seilling
So weird seeing you respond here - I watched your videos on Mindcrack like a decade ago haha.
The power of envy gets the worst out of people. If they would've been in that situation they'd had done the same thing...
@@Snyp3r1337 yep, I am still alive
@@the_og_rubenmartin It's easy to prove they're a hypocrite just by knowing that every single one of them have rathered spend hundreds to thousands on a device to send their dumb messages instead of giving their money to the homeless, which is where their logic would naturally conclude.
Hats off to you guys for justifying the purchase price. Once the deal was done and the price agreed, and both parties are happy, then job done. The whingers are just jealous. Keep up the good work. You are a breath of fresh air.
Petition to ban the AutoAlex channel(s) from buying any more BMW’s for the next 12 months! Taylor, you are feeding Alex’s obsession! 😂😂😂
Nice try, Ethan.
Ethan on an alt account.
It’s ridiculous anyone would have done exactly the same thing when negotiating. Everyone does it, in my opinion the comments should have said well done Taylor, you did a good job!
You didn't take advantage, you negotiated a decent price. Keep negotiating as you were 👍🏻
Drop the MightyCarMods guys a line. Marty will have spares somewhere
Don't waste your breath or time trying to justify things guys. Ignore the haters. How people feel about it is irrelevant.
Keep doing what you do.
You guys create great content. Your fun and informative. You don't abuse your positions to rip people off. I would wager Alexs' Phill that no one who slagged you down watched your Goodwod efforts last year.
People left those comments because the video was basically 50% "Oh wow you got a fucking great deal!" over and over again as you checked it over and said it was in way better kit than you thought.
Which is basically them being a little bellend tbh... and we dont like this
@@berkebulur7625 It's called life. Someone wants to sell something for a certain price, someone else offers them what they think it's worth, the seller accepts. Job done! I'd gloat about it if I knew I got a bargain. The bottom line is that the seller was happy....Possibly because he is an AutoAlex fan and felt a little bit 'starstruck', but, long and short, Taylor made him an offer and he HAPPILY accepted. Get over yourselves.
No people left those comments because they are idiots. Nothing made them comment.
@@berkebulur7625don’t watch then 🤷♂️
You did not let us down at all. I hate that others gave the team crap about the price. They were genuine and remember they were buying a car with a tiny market. These guys loose so much on cars, but no one comes and says the seller should come back and give them a refund. Thats cars, and the unknown. Disappointed to see the fans thought they knew better. but stellar on the team who still came thru and made it "right" when it was not needed.
Highlight of my day thanks guys! Taylor your story about the guys in the X5’s was really funny😂 good job to the whole team, very well done on all the work you’ve being doing recently. You’ll make people happy seeing the all the old faces😁😁
That bloke didn't have to expect what you or anyone else offer if he didn't feel it was right thing to do, even if the car is going to make you money from youtube or not has nothing to do with it.
Don't let the haters out there put you down.far play for sending him some more money when you notice it was worth more money in you eyes💪👍
I had no issue with previous video , both were happy at the time , turns out the car was better underneath than everyone thought but that’s the way the cookie crumbles car still needs a good bit spent on it, keep up the vids they are quality.
4th May is BSB Round 2 .I'll be watching that on tv.
Unlike traditional GPS systems, which rely on data from satellites alone, RTK (Real Time Kinetic) GPS systems use additional data from a nearby base station to improve the accuracy of the GPS data. This can provide positioning data that is accurate to within centimeters, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
Oh my God, I can't believe this is an issue. It's car trading
Honestly, don't worry about it. I bought a non, runner of a bike for 1500 and spent 500 and it's worth 3500 all fay long. Bought a vw crafter 6k cheaper than anywhere else in the country for spec and mileage. Just bough an evoque for 6.5k and it's worth 11k. I have had to buy some bits, get a door repaired and getting wheels, service, haldex service, cam belt and water pump etc. Car will ow 8.5 to 9k. So saved 2k but putting labour and work in to it.
Loving the fact you feel the need to address the comments of the subscribers lads…however…anything is only ever worth what someone’s willing to pay for it, baring in mind parts, labour (the unknown) and profit in mind. I don’t think you let anyone down, amazing gesture for you to pay the original 1500….I love Mike Brewers shows…but have seen some deals on them that have made me draw breath….in fairness profit/repair budget is normally set at the time of purchase not sale. Keep up the cracking content on the channels 👍
Shout out to all of you at AutoAlex.We enjoy your channel and can not stop laughing most of the time, thanks for always come up with something fresh everytime during your shows🎉🎉.Greetings out of South Africa
its odd seeing the different perspective from TDC from this day
You are building a CZcams kingdom with all the top car guys coming together 😊.
Ethan and jack next week Tavarish 😂
@@bigduphusaj162 who stuck 10p in you jeez
Re the F Type V6S - yep! I bought one a couple of years back and it is fantastic. It was £80k+ new in 2015 and I got it for mid-£20k’s. It had 70k on the clock but the engine had been replaced under warranty at 58k!!! I’m loving doing little bits on it myself and am looking at some 200 cell cats and a Paramount exhaust with associated tune to take it to 420bhp.
I watched this episode while going through my monthly cancer treatment and I sat and laughed all the way through…. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wishing you all the best mate
All the best mate👍🏼

No need to justify, I do think it shows character of you guys to be open about this and talk about it. You guys come across as the most honest car channel, keep up the good work.
Is it just me or does Rory’s head look absolutely massive in this episode 😂
its the pneumonia
i honistly cant wait for the 4th. decided to buy a ticket for meself, dont know anyone going and 1st time ive been anywhere since pre covid, all im hoping for is some form of seating at places around for ur that struggle with are legs. Cant wait for it! also ordered the bundle pack thingy
Well, I'm glad to hear that Taylor didn't get battered, and actually made a friend! A dangerous friend
I think your discussion about the mira is totally fair. You can’t please everyone. It is true that you guys always seem to get amazing deals on cars, however you also deserve it and put the hard work in. One thing I would say is that you guys are making money on the content for these cars so maybe factor that into your negotiations in the future to make sure the seller gets a fair price they are happy with (I know the seller was happy with £1100 in the video and props to giving him the extra £400 💪🏻). I love the content and haven’t once thought you’ve taken advantage of anyone when buying cars so keep up the good work and I will keep watching everything 💪🏻👏🏻
Everyone has the capability to say no to a deal if they weren’t happy with the offer. you guys did nothing wrong. I bet any money the people moaning about it would have happily paid what you paid and not even thought they were ripping him off. You guys are great, don’t change!!
Don’t act hard. Obviously a dealer to avoid. You wouldnt extract the skin off a rice pudding mush. I’m in the uk, I’ve lowballed for cars, including ones owned by travellers never had a problem, pleasant people to deal with.
!!!!!Alex taylor rory and everyone behind the scenes dont apologise to comments u dont need to explain yourselves people just need to pipe down and enjoy the content your bringing love everything coming from you guys 😊😊!!!! Hopefully see you in nottingham buying a car one day 😊
You' re the best!! Don't apologize for your great work!!!
keep the good work up guys love watching you all and you are very funny most of the time love the banter
Arnold Clark rip people off every day and they’ve yet to apologise! Love the channel and you guys are doing fine!
Say no to keyboard warriors
no issues haggling on prices, that's the fun of the channel, finding cheap cars and fixing them up for cheap, ignore the trolls lol.
Never knew about the backlash, seems over the top!
I love these guys, they are genuine car enthusiasts, have great banter with each other which comes across really well, deliver great videos time and time again. I genuinely look forward to the next instalment, and I'm grateful they do what they do!
As for Alex, he is THE dream. Cheeky personality, interesting, great chemistry and the hottest arse out of all the car CZcamsrs haha
🍑😍
The thumbnail 😂 Brilliant. Love the podcast
You guys don’t need to justify yourselves if you get a good deal then you get a good deal. People who have an issue with it are jealous or just haters! Don’t tiptoe around people who don’t know how to haggle. You guys are awesome and make fantastic content keep on being real and keep on with the quality content
Don't apologise for other people's opinions. This is what's wrong with the world. You made an offer and he accepted it, end of
foremost congrats for the channel, for other people that are upset for the price that you bought the car it´s called buying used cars if the buver and seller are happy nothing matters
Good to say hello to Alex ,Totally gutted I didn't meet Taylor and Rory at petrolheadonism
Work commitments?
Nothing to apologies for, the risk alone constitutes the agreed price. 👍 Shedfest sounds awesome, remember to enjoy it in all the stress! 👍
And lucky I'm up to where Rory is on MAFS, as you didn't post a spoiler alert. 😂 Ooh, that sneaky Jono!
Epic podcast guys no need to justify the deal if all party’s where happy then fair play keep up the amazing work lads 🎉
Can't wait see you chaps at shedfest!
People will never be 100% happy with what they are shown or given, despite the fact you’re publishing content for free!
People are quick to forget all the good you’ve done when they judge you’ve done something wrong, don’t take it to heart, and fair play for addressing the comments in a measured and respectful way.
Personally I’m not a fan of car dealers (no offence Taylor 😉), but they are a necessary thing - if everyone got the price they actually wanted for their car from a dealer then there wouldn’t be any dealers, as they wouldn’t make any money.
Keep up the good work lads - always look forward to the latest video from the AutoAlex ‘conglomerate’ 😁
You guys shouldnt have to apologise. Both partys were happy and thats why the deal was done in the first place. Too many people these days will use anything to bring down those who are doing well for themselves. You guyscreate amazing content and love following your chanel. In the last podcast the viewer review really hit home as im in pretty much the exact same situation and you guys really do help. So thank you again. ❤
Ps thoese who try to say they ripped the guy off go see places like we buy any car and give them abuse and learn a bit more about the car trading world and how it works
100% 👍 Hold out your hand 🤚
@@bigduphusaj162 Jesus make it sound like some drug dealing business or something at end of the day when you go view a car you can assess the situation and the car and if you feel safe and the car isn’t quite what the add stated you can offer less and if it’s a situation like that but you ain’t happy with the price you walk away. And why bring travelers into it and try make them look bad when I know a few and they’re all sound lads/lasses

Most of us are here just to see 3 blokes fall over and mess about (Sounds like a good and well familiar TV show ?!) so stay happy and don't loose that epic energy of yours!
One thing I've learned doing deals over the years is that no matter what, don't go back on the deal, up or down. Somebody is always unhappy. The deal was done. The fact that you don't intimidate with cameras is plenty.
Roll on shedfest so excited!!!
Can’t wait for shedfest! I’m driving 9 hours to get there in a high mileage Audi
😂First 2 minutes for the TDC Beat sneaking off and Rory's Cat Ears
I am sorry you guys feel like you had to justify yourselves. I have met and sold a car to Taylor personally a few months back. At no point did he pressure me in to the sale. People forget that how much it costs to recommission these old cars and the reality is once you are done you will be lucky to make any money out of it.
It's like that Jimmy Carr joke, "I'm sorry you feel that way" 😂 keep up the amazing work guys.
you will never keep everyone happy, no matter what you do, thousands will support, hundreds will be annoyed. Keep your direction and what you are doing, plenty of other channels for them to piss off too. Love you guys, you dont seem the type of people to screw over people on purpose. you dont need to justify yourself.
Can’t please everyone lads. Continue providing us with elite level car entertainment! ❤
Please don’t let the negative comments stop you being so transparent on prices as it’s so good hearing costs and profit 🙏🏻
Taylor would
Make a good dentist,he never leaves a cavity unfilled!
I was on the side that agreed that the seller of the Kei car had been hard done by. But I think you have done a good job in explaining it as it is a Catch-22 to be in. Ultimately you're not wrong, the guy didn't have to accept the offer.
And Alex is very right, whatever he says on the subject will be disected. Written, verbal he will be underly overly remorseful, maybe but perhaps not but geniuninely maybe possibly not yes definitely yes.
I did mention on that Kei car video that at least you gave him the cash. I didn't complain about the price. If you look at it this way, what you lose on the swings, you gain on the roundabouts. In another video sometime you'll do down the track, you'll get a fantastic price on a car you'll show it off.
Since all you guys now have Kei cars, I reckon you should all do a video trip to either the Nurburgring & race with Mischa or go to Northern Italy & drive the Kei cars in the narrow streets where normal cars can't go. Otherwise, do a huge trip with them.
Ask Jack if he got his teeth whitened by the dentist?

Shouldn’t have to explain your selfs to anyone a deal is a deal long as everyone was happy what’s the problem, keep doing what you do guys love your content, ❤
Such an entertaining episode. Taylors story got me concerned until the punchline of the shady guy hunting for sum1 but him. Very well done guys and onwards and upwards! 😅👍
Imagine moving from the Lake District to bloody Aylesbury??!
I agree with Taylor. He made an offer and he accepted. He didn't have to take it. Every car is risk. Its a bonus when its good. I wouldn't worry about the negative comments guys.
Anyone who was upset with your offer has never worked in the motor trade and had to take a gamble on a car. You find out when you get it back to your workshop if you’ve bought a pile of crap or if you’ve got a half decent car to build off. To feel pressured to pay someone more money of an absolute nobody on the internet has just shown what’s wrong with the internet and the fear these lads have of a backlash / view count drop.
I loved the summary mid way through 😂
Good to hear you guys did the right thing with that guy. You listened to the community which is the main thing and that's really great.
It's not doing the right things. It's being bullied, pressured and guilt tripped into paying a seller more money for a car than they agreed on.
You didn’t offend me with your deal. I think it’s business. The people that are upset about it clearly don’t know what that means! Keep up the good work boys. Love what you do!
This one was a belter, so much going on
3 battered x5's, 3 battered hosts, I hear a challenge in the making!!!!!
Was watching this on the tv but I've came on to my mobile to comment as this is a joke. If someone does a deal for a car it's between you and them. Noone else! People are just jealous they didn't get it. Ignore the idiots. You let no one down.
