Recap by Tammy AI - Auta a dopravní prostředky
1st major red flay is someone calling themselves a 'Doctor' and driving about in a 2005 Grand Vitara 😂
I never buy or sell to foreigners . Sold a car to a guy years ago of which he was buying it on behalf of his mate . He offered me chocolates trying to soften me up to lower the price . He then changed the price on the receipt in order for him to make £100 off his mate!
Should get a lad working at the farm to strip the cars for parts, bits as simple as the sidestep can often make £150-300
People part exchange crap most of time on a decent car I would of allowed for that on the deal expect nothing if it's better it's a bonus but surely 5 or 6 would of been enough for that 05 plate
I think you should give up cat trading lol
Car even
@@Gtttts The point is when you get a car in part exhchange which is reasonable but may have issues. By stripping one or two parts which are reasonable in price and in demand can turn a scrap value of £2-300 into £300 + another for instance £3-600 in parts. Bits as simple as a sidestep, tailgate, seats, doors or whatever are worth good money if sold individually. Think you should do research before you completely deny the idea
What about replacing the engine with the other one with the rust issues? 🇨🇦
If this is the only car you’ve ever been tucked up we with you’ve done very well
My advice as a retired motor dealer is your first pill is your best pill
Get rid of all that scrap ASAP
stop your missus buying cars and have a strict aged policy with stock cars and trade cars normally 90 days retail
and 7 days for trade
Your new DMS system will highlight this for you
Good luck keep up the good work mate
joe you must start to cut your losses in the future , you must have an appointment type system in place for part exchange so you can carry out a vehicle score and plug the top Dom in and check it on the lift. , and I can't believe Jason offered £1500 for that old vehicle , all the staff need to get a grip and start helping to save money , I used to tell my staff if we don't all pull our weight for the company we will all end up out of work 👍
I would imagine fifty per cent of PXs have something to hide either something has broken or they know something is about to go wrong. Of course there are certain customers you need to be more wary of.
Have you seen the Only Fools and Horses episode 'The Chain Gang'? They kept emphasising they were a Doctor as well. Oldest scam in the book 😂 good to see you've got a sense of humour about it.
100% spoke perfect English as well. Hook, line and sinker unfortunately
Oh heck...
Best thing to do now is to get rid quickly, don't let it hang around. Get some of your money back and into another car. if you leave it hanging around it will keep reminding you and make you feel down.
Very true
I was scrolling through the comments when I heard the banging at the end, had to scroll back up. Hilarious, we have all wanted to do that.
You need to start taking those cars especially the 4x4 to Leominster Car Auctions they love all that there
Thats where I took my Hyundai after a mechanic wrecked the gearbox, although I declared the fault as I am honest, some crazy polish bloke bought it cheap and swapped the engine and gearbox, good on him
Tell the doctor his new car now has no warranty !
Last years Mot may be a tell tail sign. Lots of Fails inc Emissions that all disappear later leaving just the Advisories. That usually means Bent Mot was cheaper than the repairs !
So what bloody emissions. People need che cars. Have you seen the euro 7 regulating tyre and brake dust
I had px's turn up for the swapover with duff batteries fitted, tyres changed for bald ones, no tax (back in the day) radios missing, and even a gearbox with 2 gears missing that drove perfectly when I road tested it. Can't always trust the public, so use your instincts and a written appraisal.
That’s should be Jason’s company car from now on😂
😂
One of on Jason well bet he’s done the same
I think this vitara would be a farm hack for rural types
thank you - given that someone with your expertise got caught out then I feel that there is no hope for the rest of us I really enjoy your videos and wish you every success
sounds like a burnt exhaust valve on the vitara! great vid as always Joe thanks for the entertainment.
Put a national trust sticker in the back window and it's retail again......
Hahaha 19:17 made me laugh 😂
Love the videos as always ❤
Never trust anyone with a certain nationality which we are not allowed to mention and normally reside in areas like Birmingham, Leicester, Leeds and Bradford 😉
As a privately educated British Pakistani who lives on his farm in Wales, I laugh at comments like this. The reality is the dregs of society always have issues. Go to a nice restaurant and nobody gives a fly F where you're from, your ethnicity or religion. Go to a spoons or local cafe and it's all they care about because they need someone to blame.
Jason messed up. Those two individuals were dishonest. That's the end of it. Their assumed nationality or language skills shouldn't even be an issue.
I wouldn't go to the Car Dealer Magazine awards if I were you, or any car industry event, lots of people who look like me are there. Ditto any hospital or dentists, or GP's surgery. Avoid them all buddy.
Indeed - well said
I hate things like this, those people certainly don’t care if they rip off a small business trying to do their best. Grrrrr
@@LCOFexcellent reply mate. Totally agree.
Patronising @@simonhall2682
Take the engine from the $400 Grand Vitara and put it in the $1,500 one so you get one good Vitara to sell.
Just going to say it
Was thinking that too
Beat me to it too. Trouble is, the time it would take to do that is probably better invested elsewhere.
Trouble is, the rusty one has got a 1.6 and this is the 2.0 so you would have to swap so much stuff over, ECU, wiring loom, register with DVLA etc. possible, but soooo much hassle!
Wish I lived nearer you. Looking to buy a new car and it's worrying trusting local dealers (Been stung before) would definitely use you or chops. I
Iive in Surrey which is a bit to far to come and look at cars. But love your videos. Keep the comming 😊
Give it to Chops 😂😂
Especially as Barum Engines will sort.
Tbf everything is fixable , but you need a budget as you could be throwing good money after bad and make a loss !!!
Best episode … ❤
You need to invest only 10 mins of your time to inspect each px.......you see the three 7's when a punter gets hooked on the worm......and dismiss the px.
Treat everybody as a robbing chunt until they prove you wrong.
Hi Could you tell me what would the cost of a engine would be, I had a 2003 Grand Vitara but it was diesel and was a fantastic jeep never let me down.
Must be just me being a big softy, but 6 years ago, I p/x'd my car and TOLD them that sometimes the clutch juddered on take off. The salesman seemed to really appreciate my honesty, but told me it wouldn't affect the trade in value or the deal, and not to worry about it.
Car pro had a Skoda owned by some person who was living in sandringham claimed to have been something to do with King Charles. He was dodgy. Can you do a demolition derby at the farm with the two scrap suzukis.? Even more satisfying
😂
Longer videos would be appreciated. More auction content ,as well. Kindest regards,Sunshine Coast,BC 🇨🇦🇨🇦
That's my kind of parking, proper made me laugh. 😂
😂
I was given a part ex price over the phone once, when doing a deal, they never saw the car till after the deal was done. Luckily I am a nice guy and they didnt get ripped off. But I thought at the time that it was pretty high risk for them.
Wish I lived nearer you. Looking for a new car and it's worrying trusting local dealers (been stung before) would definitely buy a car from you or chops. Unfortunately I live in Surrey which is a bit far to comr and look at a car but love the channel 😊
Could you take bits of rusty vitara and put on compression vitara or swap engine maybe
Low value car is just not worth messing around with
i love the way you park that thing up lol is that why you dont move the ones at the car lot
😂
That parking the Vitara at the end made me laugh😂.
I've sold stuff like that for export, they like, or did petrol 4x4s,we used to drop them off at the docks where a guy was shipping them.
Everything is great with hindsight. But at least you put steps in place to minimise the risk of it happening again.
just want to say you're becoming one of my fave youtubers and id buy a car off you in a heart beat! btw do you want to part ex a 09 focus with 150k on the clock but you can only test drive it if I can leave the car running........
8:10 The greatest gilet zip scandal I've seen this week!
😂😂
Couldn’t it be fixed along with doing the cam belt?
Works both ways
?explain dont understand
Good video. The world is full of crooks. It happens.....
was wondering whether the consumer rights act would apply to you as a buyer of the PX here ?
I find it hard to feel sorry for car salesman... The amount of times "professionals" at places Arnold Clark or Evans Halshaw have ripped me off 👀
Nice jumper. I have one the same. 😂
😂
Got done with a E36 BMW M3 many moons ago in exactly the same way. Sadly, it happens and why I view every PX with maximum suspicion.
So sad when this sort thing happens, I thought your description of the men said it all.
Could the engine from the £400 one be put in this one and make it good to sell
My daughter had one of these and there was a crack in the head exactly same symptoms. Second hand engine 200 k kilometres in Cyprus. There will be loads of these engines available
Might be able to part it out wheels rims look ok
Wonder if it was a miss fuel at some point
Great Copart candidate
Use parts from the other vitara?
I px’ed a metro years ago to a VW Dealership, they checked it over and agreed to the PX, dropped it off before picking up my new golf and just died as I parked it in the spot (all the red lights came in and the engine just cut out), they never got back to me.
Just goes to show you need to test drive and do your checks :-)
We did but it was hot when we rest drove it, hiding the misfire
@@ShiftingMetal Joe, if you google Vitara misfire when cold there are quite a few posts out there, some admittedly other Suzukis, with exactly the same symptoms. Assuming no drop in compression on any of the cylinders, which would suggest a burnt valve, the issue could well be as simple as a dodgy wire or a failed temp sender…
@@Graham-rc1cp He mentions no compression on one cylinder...
ISCV idle speed control valve first then water temp sensor and change the plugs . It will 100% fix it
How will any of those things restore lost compression on 1 cylinder?!
Vitaras got a burned out exhaust valve. The smoke out of the back is unburned fuel.
Reckon it could burn a valve with the mileage?
Would a burned out exhaust valve improve when the engine is warm? I would have thought there would be little difference.
Maybe you should do a code scan on all part ex
Ouch!
We are a jeweller near to you. It’s the same with pre-owned jewellery. Move it on quickly or dismantle for the component parts. Nothing sits still.
you need to speak to Steve at Yorkshire Car Restoration, he is the man for welding MX5s
Why don't you do Vehicle Score when appraising the PEX. That 17 Vitara looked nice.
£3 and 2 mars bars ok? lol 😂 great content
Have you put oil down cyl and plug back in to see if compression comes up may just be a burnt valve mate or a bore scope down if youve got one all the best in the old days we used to put piston seal down the cyl lol
Let me guess...they were a couple hours away...Birmingham 👀...I know where there is a lovely 2015 bmw 520d m sport for sale up in Doncaster 😊😊
Put oil down the pot and do a compression reading, if it goes up it's the rings if no change it's a valve.
Matt from High Peak is a master of buying older cars. I sometimes get mad at just how little he pays for what, on the face of it, its an OK car. But then he goes on, occasionally, to spend far too much on prepping it for resale.
A case in point is for the cars that once were desirable (thinking of the Jaguar XKR) and now have a yearly road tax of £735 if paid all upfront. I love those, I had one, but given the road tax on what would be a Sunday driver, I’m not doing it. Hence a 4.2 car from 2016 with 100k+ miles is practically worthless. I almost bought one. I’m glad I didn’t as it is it worth very much just a few months later.
So old cars? Buy for scrap value.
Hi Bill from Liverpool here on this video you never told us about the 61 plate BMW Mini can you send info on it and what you asking thanks Bill 👀😀👍 oh the mini on the farm lot
You could do banger racing down the farm 😂
Hi Joe. I just joined and its pending at the minute. Jesus Joe, you can't trust anyone these days, bro. To be fair to you guys, this Vitara looks great 👍 so I can understand what happened. And it's a proper letdown. It destroys any faith you have in the public. And I'm pissing off now as well, lol. QQ Joe, do you not have another engine laying around by any chance. Stupid question, I know, as you probably are thinking the same thing. Don't tell me they trailered this shit box to your place and hid around the corner 😅😅. Sad people 😕. I would be knocking on their front door the same day, lol. Joe, please have FAITH, my friend. You're a good man, and people who know you trust you and your judgement 💯. Even I and we have never met trust you 1000%. So don't let this shite hinder what you do, mate. Chat soon. Respect 🙏 🫡 🇮🇪🥰
Thanks Liam, i don’t think it’s worth the hassle to fix, just move on to the next one for a better result 👌
Put a caravan wobbly box on the vitara will be fine
At a garage I worked at they'd make you run it as a demo to teach you a lesson, I was once put in a brown 1.0 nova saloon (90s)due to my reckless behaviour.
Joe, could you not take the engine out the rusty one and put it in this one? Might reduce your loss?
Hmm are both vitaras the same? Hows the engine in the other one you got? Honestly feel sorry for you guys after all the effort you put in for people
I had to smile at this Vid, It's all ok when a motor trader rips off Joe public but not when the shoes on the other foot. Nice one JP.
🔔🔚
I think you're watching the wrong channel to suggest that and I second Joe's reply.
Bummer m8. 😮
Would be great if you could sell the parts as they are worth far more than scrap value. Big business in second hand parts??
Poor guy, seems your doing the best thing you can, but you can't believe how doggy some people are. Enjoying the video, good luck in the future
Took in a Nissan Note from a former neighbour / friend - assured it ran like a Swiss Watch - quick check over in the car park - yep looked the part - did the deal giving them a good price - brought car in that night - clutch was completely shot! Forget to apply the ABC - Accept nothing - Believe know one- Check Everything! Have now sold up and retired.
If it's a bent valve a 2nd hand head swap might fix it
This made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂.
👌😂
I know the law regarding rejection from a customer point of view, but haven't a scoobie how it works vice versa. Does the same rules apply as if it were a private sale when a dealer purchases from a customer? i.e. Is there no way a dealer can reject a car?
I will offer you £3 and 2 Mars bars for the 7 series. Did Toby accidentally put the picture up of the wrong Vitara, when you were talking about the auto one, you are selling for off-road use only. Great video and content as always.
Not sure, maybe!
Oh for the days when engines were simple and taking a head off and putting it back on was only a couple of hours. You could get really lucky and put in new rings with stepped top one and have it behaving itself for a year or so. Even short blocks were cheap as chips.
Make one good one out of the two Vitaras you have salvage some profit??
It would be possible but just not efficient use of our time
Wonder what the phd mob would have done to you if you stitched them. Not so passive methinks. I think that engine is salvageable if 55 k genuine. No compression can mean a lot of things. The exhaust suggests unburnt fuel and maybe valve not necessarily piston. Find a scrap engine or strip top engine. I hrs job. Or sell as is these a really sought after, proper 4wd. Many uses. Great you humility over the matter. Doesnt Jason do the car check?
What about switching the engine from the rusty Suzuki into that one and make a good car from the two ?? Assuming they’re both compatible…
If someone said they were a doctor in that kind of situation - I'd instantly trust them less as they don't understand business or taking a loss because of someone else, and have no idea of the challenges of being self employed.
Can't believe a doctor would do something like that not good 😮
Remember that when they next offer you something 'safe and effective'.
08:12 body warmer getting tight😅
Proven with farm walk round definitely some cars worth saving that will bridge lost profit. Vitara worth fixing if nothing else wrong?! All is not lost.
can you swap the engines over with the mot failure then make 2 k ????
When I was trading back in the 80's & 90s I aways found part ex"s from Doctors turned out to be lemons. Pub Landlords cars were always good motors.
Joe so you aware aware. All those cars you have doing nothing, I called weeks ago and offered to buy the black smart car that you have at the office car park and was told “we cannot sell it”.
Yes. We’re going to fix it…
@@ShiftingMetal I offered to buy it as it was and I would have fixed it
I'm no mechanic, but isn't that Vitara's mileage a bit low to have compression problems? What did they do to it?
Good point, maybe 257k (?)
Yes we know all about vehicle score
That’s good 😄
I think the low mileage caught your guy off guard. least its a cheap lesson in the grand scheme of things.
If you have 2 duff Grand Vitaras could you not make one good one out of them would make an interesting video.
Doctor of Criminology 😂 well at least it makes for a good story
Better luck next one...😮
My Brother in Law got 'turned over' on a Mini Cooper, by an alleged Dr. Patel and his Wife, (also Dr Patel), It's the oldest scam routine in the book.
This is the motor trade,BCA and others sell cars like this everyday unseen and unheard on their internet sales which dealers buy every day and then realise what a mistake they’ve made when the vehicle is delivered. There will not one dealer who hasn’t been caught out at sometime so don’t be to sad about it your not the first and certainly won’t be the last to fall foul of these things when dealing with bangers,put it in an auction with a sold as seen no warranty ticket on it,tart it up a little I’m sure some other dealer will snap it up thinking he’s snapped a bargain up,its a tough trade your in and I think paying £600-00 for that car is not the disaster your making it out to be,£600-00 in the motor trade is loose change and you know it or should do,you probably made more than twice that amount on the car you sold him so suck it up and move on,you can’t win them all as I’ve found out over the last 50 years selling vehicles.
