Who wants a non dealer warrantied JLR when the £10-£15k engine is a consumable
This seems like a good window into the REAL economic state of the country, regardless of what we are told.
A very pertinent comment.
@meljen8592 Why? Just seems to be stating the obvious. Maybe the truth hurts😂😂😂
@@samuelrobinson9012I don’t think you know what pertinent means 🤔
@@samuelrobinson9012 Way to totally miss the point, smart arse.
If you are still listening to 'what you are told', how many more lies will it take before you start thinking for yourself?
Prices have been artificially bloated for at least the last 3 years, so the prices I'd say are being adjusted back to their realistic value. Consider this, I bought a mint, fully loaded 6 year old Lexus RX in 2011 for 8 grand. You'll struggle to get a decent 2011 model for under 11 grand. That's a 13 year old car nearly. Even factoring in inflation, which really isn't that much over 10 years the second hand market is ridiculously overpriced.
"They' will tell you it IS supply and Demand, only to line their own Pockets.
Definitely, I bought an 8 year old toyota avensis 45k miles petrol in 2018 for 6k, if prices had kept with inflation the equivalent would now be 8k ish, but now an 8 year old yoyota avensis with same specs is 12k!
Crazy hikes, I understand the odd in demand model but its accross the board. Unsustainable
@@jamesgreen807 It is normal if a little reduced supply to the second user market. Bolstered heavily by repos early surrenders & none renewals of leases! The finance department every new car dealers the country was the most profitable! Now it was expected to be even more with interest rates & EV car price rising! But the market has stagnated. So price fall and still stock does not shift. Which reduces the funds available for new stock purchases even though the prices are a steal!
New cars have got so much more expensive that more people are instead going for used cars.. This raises their prices also.
Remember that there's 15 million used cars sat on air fields and forecourts around the UK it's a buyers market. The price is artificially 40% higher a car should be 50% of it's new value in 3-4 years old. There's just too many mugs around willing to pay their stupid prices.
The finance rates have killed the prestige market
Along with the mortgage rates...
Keep the rich rich and the poor poor!
@@daldal616 that's a bingo
Stop crying and find another billion to your friends in 🇺🇦 😂
Eh? wtf has that to do with anything?@@abiya.9836
Even if you got one of those JLR vehicles cheap, you'd still need very very deep pockets to keep them on the road.
And that's why traders don't want them - you need a huge margin on them to stand any chance of getting it put right and successfully run the 30 days rejection gauntlet.
If a buyer can afford to run one of these troublesome beasts, they can afford to buy a more recent plate off a main dealer. It's hard to see any economic rationale for getting a high-mileage example that's going to spend most of its life with the mechanic. As you say, it's not the cost price that's the issue - it's the ongoing outlays.
Entertaining stuff. The subtitles giving book value etc are really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put them on.
Thanks for watching simon 👍👍
@carukchannel You should do a upload on these hire bikes that are now everywhere. Because soon you.ll be better off buying them at auction as I believe those stupid hire bikes are our future transport. Unless you are rich.
These prices crack me up 😂 I love how the industry is still trying to artificially keep the prices 40% higher than they should be. Your 6k Dacia is really a 3.5k tops retail, people forget it was 10.5k new 8 years ago and a car is half its value in 4 years. There's 15 million cars sat on air strips and forecourts in the UK. It's a buyers market but I guess that there's just too many stupid people that will still buy at those prices. 🤦♂️
Range rovers aint selling because insurance companies are not insuring them, its not just in London
And the reliability issues, the Ingenium engines are having expensive problems !

I have a Jaguar XJR that's been under a cover for a month, I don't think I could afford to change it now even if I wanted to. I think a lot of people like me who used to be able to afford to buy a used prestige and look after it (but couldn't afford a new one) have been squeezed out by the cost of living increase.
its a jag no one wants them
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOneand you could have kept using the car you enjoy is really £10k anything to worry about?
@@c11yanAgreed, got 3 classic jap motorcycles in the garage that the arse has fell out of but I'm not concerned.
I had noticed the prestige car becoming cheaper ,A TO B CAR FOR ME ,its just pure narcissistic greed
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOneno joke I saw Frank Warrens old black ghost on a 13 regga up,at 70k and was considering buying it or a lambo , I bottled it and bought a 17 Reg focus rs , a G Reg Cosworth Sierra and a RS2000 mk2 all of which have not dropped and are still combined around 20 grand profit if I sold now
Those big old Marque cars could well be bit like buying Property in a falling Market, " Never try to catch a falling Knife, as it will just go through your Hand" Great Upload.
Best time to buy property is in a falling market. 😉
Selling property you mean.🤔
Enjoy this video guys of my latest auction trip to Aston Barclay, in this video we look around some cheap vehicle stock for me to purchase, but also see what is going on with the prestige brands at auction. 👍👍👍👍
😊 Good stuff il watch this when i get in.
Poor old Tom got too feel for him
My brother used car auctions for decades, for buying his own and for ones to resell. A hobby really. I've done the same from time to time. When he moved to the USA he was spitting feathers because The Public aren't permitted access to their vehicle auctions. Strictly dealer only.
That's the reason you are doing so well at The Car Pitch,sensibly priced,small economical cars that people can afford & obviously the reason nobody wants to be putting their hand in their pocket every week repairing executive models.
Absolutely right, getting to know a fer local driving instructors is a great move , they have an endless stream of new drivers. I used to take the fresh pupils to BCA ingliston for their first cars , my fee was 15%, once went with a lady who had to have a BMW mini with a checkered black white roof . We left the sales with a 2005 Yaris 1.5 sport in black. 4k cheaper than Toyota dealer , 600 blabs in my pocket for my 2 hours work.
Bread & butter cars
@@AndrewNeilBaird If 15% was 200 blabs(ed-?) for a 15-20 year old. Oh re-read it, 600 blabs, then you're a scammer.If you could only talk in Engish you'd be arrested!
@@wasteddragon8201 Cry more.
you're not the only guy ive heard talking about the prestige car price collapse
The car I drive is twenty five years old ,cost £80,just got it MOTed 🚗🇬🇧
I drive an 80k mile Duster diesel - had it a few years - average mpg 48mpg - reliable - it is what it is. Costs very little to run or look after and tough as anything - whats not to like
It’s a Darcia 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Still a cheapie Renault that any garage can fix without skinning you
Its the land rover defender, cheap basic and reliable. Farmers love them
Simple box on 4 wheels, it's a tool, cheep to buy, cheep to run, cheep to fix.
@@waynerobinson9948let me guess your one of those who leases a BMW whilst living in his mums basement.
Leasing and PCP mean your poor and can’t afford it.
I bought a 57 plate x type for 750,plus fees, my son went to Geneva in it, trouble free on a charity banger run, when he got back we prepped it up and got 1495 for it, 2 2 diesel, really good car tbh.
My 2011 Rav4 is reliable and drives like a dream (also a 2.2 diesel). The only thing I dislike now is that if I drive into Birmingham for a gig I get charged £8. So I've been avoiding going there as a result.
@@6581punk yes we copped for 2 charges in Bristol
Thanks for taking us along to Aston Barclay again Lee, I really do enjoy these auction videos, there were some good, and not so good cars there❤.
Can’t believe I stumbled on this cracking channel and top vid. I’ve been to auctions before and always wondered why the dealers walked around and looked at the dash, now the penny has dropped, check engine and other warning lights whilst running, that alone could save someone a fortune cos it’s just something that never occurred to me. Keep up the good work Lee.
Many thanks for watching Dave 👍👍
Another common one is looking under the floor mats for damp I presume...water leaks?
Your right, I will start looking harder from now on, I normally just kick the tyres.
low level flood damage too@@richsan4923
Truth is it’s not just the prestige stuff as I’m sure Lee will agree. It’s most cars above a certain price point. Not before time there’s a price adjustment happening. Prestige dealers have been enjoying fleecing us for a couple of years, wanting top money for their stock but insult you with the part ex offer with 5 or 6 grand plus mark up. Now they’re stuck with stock they can’t shift. I work in the trade and the only stuff that’s a safe bet are cars well under ten grand. Gonna be some bargains out there for the brave!
A well specced Ford Transits is becoming an ideal family car. Good performance loads of space (obviously) and surprisingly nice to drive.
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOnerealistically how long do you think it will take the prices to go back to before Covid prices…when you could get prestige cars for half the price after it’s 3 years old with average miles.
@@davidelliott5843
a bit of tarmac work on the side too 😉
finally people have started to see that cars are nothing but waste of money. They depreciate, they need repairs. They need to take us from A to B 90 % of the time, so being fancy is not their most desirable feature. Yes, I get the ''weekend toy'' idea, and the leasing, but I am thinking average person / second hand market here.
Re: the premium vehicles, I can't help but think that the ridiculous rise in insurance premiums on these vehicles is hitting hard now!
Range Rovers have bombed in value, especially when you read about 1 in 4 being stolen via keyless defeat thieves, and the pitiful response to this problem by JLR.
Personally, if I were to buy one, I'd want the keyless entry system removed in favour of the older 'press to unlock' key fob type system.
When you see the security systems applied to your mobile phones, the car manufacturers are years behind, and yet your car is likely to be the second biggest investment after your house!
100% this insurance is ridiculous, companies are robbing people 30%+ premium increases so far over inflation is crazy. Plus as you say JLR beset by key cloning issues, friend looked at insuring one the other day was quoted £7k I mean wtf!
The keyless entry can be turned off on any JLR car it's just a sequence of key presses. You then have to press the button like most cars.
It sounds odd, but I love hearing your thoughts about these cars, good points bad points, whether they’ll go for book money or not. Fly on the wall stuff. Thanks for the insights!

It’s no surprise, I left the motor industry earlier this year and some models we had to get a value from the central buying department when trading it in as sites had lost their shirts on EVs and Land Rovers. Even our own brand EVs were an issue.
Been watching you for the last year, quality of your vids is coming along well, keep it up Lee. really enjoy your insight into the market and how you value each motor.
Much appreciated
Another great vlog Lee, amazing some of the reductions in price. Hope you beat the trend and guys on here looking for your type of stock go to you first. Open, honest dealers need supporting.
luv your vids keeps us up to dates with auctions and markets great ..
Hi Lee,
Great coverage as always. the new cam is defo a big improvement on both sound and picture.
Thank you for your kind words Lee 🔨 always enjoy watching your videos and I've even got to the stage where I link my phone up to the car and listen to them like there a podcast on my 4 hour journeys to Prees, keep 'em coming 👍🔨🔨🔨
Higher interest rates are helping those of us with savings but also mean tying money up in a depreciating asset is a lot less tempting. Add to that the increased costs for anyone buying on credit and rapidly rising insurance costs and there's a perfect storm. There will be a floor where people start buying again somewhere but it is probably lower than we imagine (just like market tops always go higher than we think possible).
I do not think the market will get fixed by itself!!! It will take a lot of time ... Hold on to your money
inflation is destroying your savings, shows what you know...
@@user-yn7ll3qz1p inflation only hurts you if you spend that money while inflating remains high - if you don't it's irrelevant
Spot on and no surprises!
It's not going to get better till the Christmas cards are paid in January,
It's going right across the board now,you should be fine ,as for the rest!
Good luck, Bill.
I find it so interesting the way the trade has changed since I was last involved 30+ years ago.
Fascinating. The last fast talking auction I went to was as a child - and they were selling cattle.
Well we can certainly say the JLR group is dead when dealers don't even buy them...
Many people can't get insured on them because of the high theft rate.
Times are hard at the top of the market.😇 I like your economic summary and it seems correct, that demand in these areas reflects the overall economy. Time we got this lot out of government before they do any more damage.
Thank you for getting cold so we don't have to,the market just gets worse for traders scraping along on a pittance whilst finding ,golden nuggets for our punters ❤
Best film i've seen on the internet for a while now. Simply packed with vital info. Thank you !
Thanks mat, kind of you to say 👍👍
A fantastic document of the times . Much appreciated .
That was really interesting. All the fun of going to a car auction but without the fumes :)
When i first started we had cars running through the auction on 4*Star (the older cars that is) that put some fumes on your chest
@@carukchannel
You don't look old enough! unless the 4 star stopped you going grey 😉
I got an immaculate 2007 Toyota Raum small automatic and up to now I didn't realise automatics were in such high demand. Happy days..the number of thefts especially around the london area is killing the market for range rovers and land rovers as criminal gangs are targeting them atm.
Great video I thoroughly enjoyed that. Takes me back to my trading days.
Another interesting and enjoyable watch Lee
That Dacia was a hoot! I can just imagine Matt at High Peak Autos turning up to his car park to find he's spent £4k on that. At least 'a good buff' and some new plates will see it right 😂
First time on this channel, love your honest commentary, god bless man, keep it up
many thanks
Really enjoyed the vid. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant video Lee love the car auctions 😊
Doesn’t matter what ‘book’ says, it’s what the trade says that matters. Another good vid - well shot.
Of course. The book doesn't set or decide prices - it is supposed to report "what trade says", but it doesn't report very accurately in a lot of cases.
The book is compiled purely on what dealers are paying for them ,cap doesn't.set the prices ,the market does
Just found this guy and I love his presentation .As an auction buyer I love him .
Thanks brian
spent years at auctions it was often the best prices during rain or bad weather
Great video. Thanks Lee.
My brother has a 12 plate Jag XF with the 3 litre V6 diesel which has done 135K and has had one fault, the air vents stopped revolving. E-class Mercedes can suffer from corroded brake lines which you can't see. You're right about the 1.2 Peugeot engines though. I've just retired from the Police and some bright spark bought loads of 308s with that engine. What a disaster. Went from weekly checks to twice daily as the oil level could drop from "Full" to "Fill" in half a shift, and that wasn't just Response vehicles. We had one with about 35K on the clock that blew a head gasket.
Just found your channel, spot on, subscribed.
thanks stuart
Great content,love the auctions
I enjoy the auction videos. Great video 👍
Perhaps people have finally realised even in a prestige car they’re sat in the same traffic on crappy roads as the rest of us.
The Covid cash surplus has run out. Some here are mentioning finance rates but car finance has been well over bank base rates for years, so I’m not sure that’s a driver. Over supply, lack of demand and then higher insurance costs more likely. What a sorry state of affairs. Keep up the interesting and real, unfiltered content.
Could it be that more people are watching the weather go crazy and realise we need to change now or eventually die out? I have personally been waiting in vain for the hydrogen car in my local dealership, have not bought an airline ticket that were not workrelated for a decade but would happily fly if the jet engines were running on hydrogen etc. etc. We are many that simply cannot defend driving a gas guzzler anymore. To many politicians are asleep. That does not necessarily mean the entire population does.
@@Mike-zx1kxno, that's ridiculous
We purchased a 2016 Nissan leaf 2 years ago with 80% battery SOH its given us no issues at all and is a brilliant car for diving within Auckland City limits, we will keep it for many years I'm sure , no regrets !
Great video, really enjoyed it.
One question please. Why if there's an engine warning light on is there no description of the highlighted problem on the displayed paperwork on the windscreen?
I thought maybe in the old days perhaps wrongly that buyers might be able to sit in the cars , start the engine and see for themselves etc, otherwise you are simply buying blind. The auction company will not cover you for that risk.
they do start them up and there is a small window to get in the cars as they are left in line to come into the auction hall to jump in and test clutch bite, rev up etc. The buyers report will cover for defects in some instances where there is a fault that has not be declared or found on the Report which is done in this case by the AA.
Love the videos Lee 👍 great channel
Thanks 👍
Great analysis... Nice to see push rod at the rear.. good to see that is it isn't a straight RB copy too
Nice vid thank you Malc and Ann Nrth Lincs xxx
Most prestige are bought on finance. Small wonder the markets collapsing. As for the evoque, maybe taste has returned to the market
Im 58 and I got quote for the 2017 RR 2.2 D Evouqe.. Fully comp £1100.. Jokers. Im 35 miles outside London. The car is not even Keyless entry.. !! If they the keyless variant are being stolen and its effecting premiums why does insurance cost so much for non keyless models- it seems to affect all models ?..
That's silly, they are basically taking advantage, like you say the issue is with keyless.
They didn't make a 2.2 Evoque in 2017. 2.0D from 2016MY
just going to look at a S/H KONA series II. like gold dust here in Australia. Still 5.5 years warranty on Battery.
Wow what a change, you are in the right business, with the cars you buy, very entertaining Lee
Thanks 👍
Loved this Video Lee, wow JLD prices! It says something when there are NO BIDS keep up the good work.
Thanks David
It is a standing joke on a forum that highly leveraged Buy to Let landlords spend their profits on PCP Range Rovers. With the recent increase in interest rates they will be visiting someone like The Car Pitch for their next vehicle.
My 13 year old 110K miles Zafira B diesel scrapped through it's MOT today at a cost of £310 . Will run it until it drops or the rumoured local ULEZ scheme is introduced by our Lib Dem council. This old lemon has been squeezed until there is no more juice to be had.
Fair play, where are you based john ?
I’m running a 57 plate Accord Tourer, 188k miles. MOT was a punchy £1300 for a variety of things. Bought cash in 2012 so it’s about £110 a month excluding tax/insurance…Another year covered until I find a nice cheap newer estate.
Stick a bottle of fuel additive in the tank quarterly (wynns diesel gold, liquid moly, cataclean) that'll keep her running smooth.
Treat em lean, keep em keen!
Love a good auction video Lee 👍
Unfortunately JLR has massive reliability issues and the main problem is poor quality of electronics used by them, whilst working for a well known recovery company I only recovered One JLR vehicle that had a mechanical failure, all the others were electrical issues
Regarding The LJR stuff i also think the current issues with the ingenium engines are not helping sales either
Agree Lee
Get the impression buyers are splitting into two camps . Outright cash purchase ( cheapies ) with a view to run it with as little maintenance costs as possible or Lease a new one with no unexpected costs in the next three years. Anything with a PCP etc and then expected maintenance is the worst of both worlds.
Great vid as always and quality is spot on . Cheers Lee
I've reached that point. Either something so cheap that anything more than a few hundred to keep it on the road means scrapping it, or something brand new on a lease with all the costs covered for the term. The last thing I'd want to do right now is spend 12-15k on something 4 or 5 years old, that could sh*t it's engine and gearbox out all over the road at any time and cost thousands to fix, only to then have something else expensive go bang on it 6 months later.
Last couple of cars I've had before my current one were 12 month old, PCP type deals with an extended warranty to cover the final year of the finance... plus gap insurance! People talk about mad depreciation now, I had a 17 plate Volvo V90 D4 back in 2018 that was on sale new for £47k, mine was 11 months old, 9k on the clock and I got it for £24k. That's some serious depreciation, and all before diesels were vilified in the press.
Because most buyers don't know anything about cars or how to look after them but they always seem to have the jobs and money to get expensive cars on lease and they don't have to think
I’d have to agree with that. I was in need of a car and decided to just buy a pre reg 73 plate Seat Ibiza for 16k as to buy a used 17 plate was 12k and I just don’t want the hassle. I can afford the £200 a month loan and I plan to own the car for 15 plus years
@@BobbyDeniroXthat's the worrying part though isn't it. If most average buyers know little about cars or how to maintain them, then god only know how they drive them for the time they're financing them. That's probably why no one buys those few year old cars, they're a potential disaster waiting to happen
@@TheLinkedList
There are levels of enthusiasm and enthusiasts.
People don't have the first few levels of ownership of a 2nd hand car that's well kept well washed and polished too making sure rust etc doesn't appear.
This discipline and involvement people don't seem to have anymore with their cars.
This relationship I suppose.
Us maxxers had that enthusiasm for our fully purchased bangers or clean second hand motors regardless of wealth.
All that section has gone completely.
Now if you wanna do that you have to do a Mansoori job so they gentrified the maxing scene off to them German tuning companies and Louis Vittoned it.
So only rich people can have fun now with the modding.
Now we just have customers buying cars based on the lease deal and not having any motoring knowledge or enthusiasm or hobby style maintenance, discipline or cleaning experience. But they have stable jobs to pay for the monthly installments for lease spec cars which becomes like a compliance model for the leases in a funny sort of way as well. This is killing the market and none of the models seems to be around for long term for various other reasons which people have mentioned many times with quality etc. Made for the leases then chuck em away. That's bad like a mobile phone.
Now they are saying in the EU they want phones to be easy to repair for sustainability.
But with cars we have seen the opposite.
With complicated servicing, expensive fragile electronics and parts in general etc.
So the cars have become more throw away than the phones now.
Thinking my non smartphone phones all still work and my smartphones all stopped working.
Makes me think is there a genuine appetite and plan out there for making true sustainable products?
My is200 sport is still better quality than 90 percent of cars ever made.
It still works while other people I know have had 3 4 cars in that time.
Camera looks to be doing well. Just sleeker. Love your knowledge
I do like your Channel I used to go to Prees a lot before Covid. Good to Watch. 3:58
JLR got to be a major worry, people now know all the problems etc. Anyway another great video 📹 👍.
I don't think TATA India will be too worried about JLR part of the business.
The auctions never start at lot 1 as peoples mind set is never buy the first one you see so always start with 2, little bit of mind trickery.
Great Vid. ❤ Sound and video quality was great. Stick to this resolution. If you go up we get more buffeting.
Brilliant video pal keep it up
Zoe batteries last really well. Not like the Leaf..
It is hard to tell what impact ULEZ will have on the used car market. I think people are still holding tight and will continue to suffer charges in the hope of some U-turn, but eventually there will be an influx of non compliant car finding their way onto the scene and prices will suffer.
Dealers and auctioneers should be smart enough to sell off these cars outside London, but not all will and there will be bargains to be had.
Top job pal... great channel!
I liked that auctioneer, could actually understand what he was saying which is a rarity!
Got my first car at auction today, you inspired me mate, it was up in wakfield, got a nice 3 hour trek to take friday and pick the beauty up! mini vlog incoming
Nice work!
I was going to car auctions 40 years ago and the first car I ever bought myself was a Mk3 Cortina for 100 quid , had it 3 months until the mot ran out and scrapped it getting 60 quid back ! Used to love the big Volvos which never seemed to sell well but as a Decorator they made a good work car .Ladas used to go for peanuts too in thosedays and for a working man were a cheap buy if you could handle the piss taking ! No auctions left now near me as the police anpr systems put people off buying and running them home and the only car in this video for me was the fiesta but a little overpriced with no mot but you have to weigh up what you can earn off it over a month once mot,eed .My 2007 fiesta can make on average 3k a month so great money makers .Nice video too so subscribed to give you a lift .Geoff😅
Thanks Geoff 👍👍
I learned to drive in my dad’s Lada. Pro was a heater capable of coping with a Siberian winter. Con was the turning circle and weight ( no assisted steering) of a tank.
@juliebrooke6099 and a steering wheel the size of a dustbin lid too !
The focus is a good buy Lee that should fly out, the evoque and discovery sport were cheap but wouldn't have hit reserve? Doom and gloom for Jaguar /landrover cars, the jaguars are going on face groups and trade sites for really low money
Brings back memories - back in the early 80’s I’d help out my mate (car dealer) at quite a few auctions. Good fun, no internet back then of course or mobile phones Cortina’s Escorts Cavalier’s lol. He’d always moan when privateers got in on the bidding and bid up the prices on the bargains 🤣🤣. Subscribed 👍
Insurance for Range Rovers in London has gone ballistic ,because of the theft of them up to 70 a day being stolen Keyless entry a big problem with them. Some people have been quoted £25,000 if they can get a quote. Strange that the keyless Jags do not have the same problem. Even out in the sticks Range Rover will hit well over £1,000 for insurance with a large excess High road tax ,think this will kill them faster than any EV market.
Jaguar used a slightly different system, the car stops calling out to the key after a minute or so, the Rangies kept calling all the time making them much easier to grab the signal with the repeater
The recall on the Rangie is to shut the car up, but they've got far too many to do for dealers to cope with
I got quoted £8k for insurance on a range rover a couple weeks ago. I'm late 40s, clean licence and a healthy no claims but I live in London. Needless to say I won't be buying one lol
They should offer 3rd party only insurance so it is up to the owner to install anti theft device's. That would be one way to have one. 29 years ago I had a Land rover cost of insurance was 3rd party only £89 a year, the broker said do you want fire and theft I said dont be silly who wants to steal a burning car. That would have doubled the insurance.
@@davidgavin7280
less hassle to get a sparkie to fit a ghost switch ?
Don't mind if the market crashes. I didn't buy my car as an investment. Makes it cheaper to buy a replacement if I need one.
good video, excellent information actually.
I had an early Focus 1.8D. It was a very sturdy car, and comfortable, even on forestry roads. It did go through drop-links every 5 years, but they are cheap enough.
The older 1.8diesels even turbo ones upto 2008 were solid engines.
Bought the hubby a 17 reg Jag last Jan… lost it for a month cause the oil was all over the drive… £1800 chain and pump replacement later… Ingenium! It’s not a myth… true story, they are crap!
'Ingenium', a nightmare in the making!
Same as the wet-belt Fords, financial suicide, by design.
Just done a vehicle score and it’s £8.97
Really useful thanks
Great video of how it is on the rock face. Thanks Lee ps camera is v. Good
Great thanks and cheers for the video feedback
The Zoe is a great little car, and even at 8 years old the battery is still likely on around 90-95% SOH.. perfect for a second car / local car, super cheap to run and happily do 70-90 miles.
I wouldn't by an ev if they were giving them away, absolute overpriced rubbish with rubbish chinese batteries..the technology is not there yet and ev prices are total complete rip off...tat.
The Zoe has an NCAP safety rating of one star, it’s just about safer than a motorcycle. Wouldn’t touch one.
Let the haters hate, but cheap to buy, little to no maintenance, no road tax and buttons to charge overnight. I'm looking to get something similar as a local run around.
@@stephensalt6787 Nope, you're wrong, the 2013-2020 car got 5 stars.. czcams.com/video/LpIEiG5a3yM/video.html
@@stephensalt6787that was after a model refresh. They removed a side pillar airbag, but because of the highest thresholds for stars on new tech suck as collision avoidance, lane keep etc it bombed on its rating. Same car less an airbag.
I couldn’t believe that cheapie Zoe, I wanted to jump in the screen and buy it. Great wee runabout. Battery owned too BARGAIN!
Battery on them is a non issue, 8 year warranty from the factory. Trader Johnathan Porterfield specialises in EVs and he picked up one at auction for about £5K with 109k on it, 3-4 yr old 89% health on the pack. EVs have their own £5K and £10k buying sweet spot.
Tyres and screen wash is all most of em need.
100%. Surprised to hear it referred to like this in the video. Give it a few years and we’ll see people come round to the fact EVs are more reliable and with less to go wrong than an ICE car.
There might have been more wrong with that car than we could see. MOT history interesting as looked good for years then Sep 22 had lots of issues at the front suspension brakes. MOT expired month ago and Lee pointed out suspicious damage on scuttle/wing area.
Zoes have always had proportionally higher protection margins built into their battery packs than many other manufacturers as well, to keep them even further from undercharge and overcharge conditions. It's pretty much impossible for the owner to abuse the batteries in these - they'll easily outlive the rest of the car with largely imperceptible degradation. Unfortunately, the myths by the Daily Mail still do the rounds though.
First time watcher today from Wicklow, Ireland ,and enjoyed the banter and interesting observations. Easy sub mate !!
thanks james 👍👍
It’s incredible how cheap cars are in the UK, you try buying some of these cars on the Continent and you’ll be paying way over double if not triple, all day long
What gets me is folk want auto’s then that Zoe gets “poo poo’d” 😮 impeccable reliability, an electric motor has a precision bearing at each end the shaft .. nowt to service no ridiculous belts to snap and you could charge that with a 3pin granny lead… free tax …. what’s not to like 🤷🏻♂️ PS my 5 year old EV will charge up to same winter and summer range as it did new..!
they are great used buys in the current market, but don't tell anyone or the prices will go up!
Nobody wants the headache of a JLR 2.0D Ingenium engine thats why they are not getting any bids
Wow that Disco sport was a great bargain
All looks and sounds good🎉
The book needs seriously adjusting.
