Great channel this Lee, learning loads about affordable motoring - you know your stuff! Keep the videos coming!
Mine is 298,000 miles now. Still runs smooth. Just regular maintenance.
Smashing it , watched a few vids since joining this week it’s a great channel. Excited to see it grow .
Lee, just subscribed to your channel and watched every one of your videos, keep the good work up..... love what you're doing.
Thanks stuart, I will keep the content coming 👍
😂flip’s sake Lee, I pissed myself when the comedy blizzard ended up on the driver’s seat. That’s one of my pet hates. No matter how carefully I clean all the snow off the door shuts, I still get some on the seat. Great upload, enjoyed this one. Pity you got caught out with the sill.
Yes should know better but still think we can sell it on and keep me trousers on so not a total disaster 😁
Another great video as always lee keep them coming 👍👍🙏🙏
thanks james
Thanks Lee. With the stupid prices of cars today, there is a lot to be said for buying a cheap one year MOT motor and drive if for a year and then do the same again. Keep it up - just found your channel.
Thanks for watching Anthony 👍👍
Lee, that is a great car. Little damage, wouldn't put most people off. Nice , clean usable car. 2 keys and full service history 👍👍
Yes it should still sell quickly I feel, just would of been a nice thing to get back in decent shape as drives so well, but the numbers just dont work on it
smashing it mate videos never fail to entertain
Thanks Jwilkooo,
great cars these, have had one for 4 years no issues, timing belt done at 100,000 by myself and its now on 180,000 quality made vehicle
Definitely the best solution Lee. Let the new owner decide. It would be a struggle to get out of it what you’ve put into to - notwithstanding all the time and having the cash tied up in whilst it gets sorted. If I was the buyer I would just leave it as is and just drive the thing. As long as it gets a ticket every year I would just run it until it gives up.
Yes I suspect that's what will become of it phil
I can tell you about Stayhold I use them in my car, it's not glued down it uses hook velcro, the small grey strap is used for holding bottles, the long orange strap can hold a paint tin. It can be moved around the boot say if you have a bag put it against the seats & then put that in front then the bag won't move. You can buy more of that one & also small ones.
Thanks matt, I thought it was some sort of holding device, never come across one. Thanks for watching 👍
Nothing to worry. It is just a running Board. It can be repaired and repainted. But the miles are on a Higher side.
Well done for posting a video showing it’s not all milk and honey.
Looks a nice car for the money.
Selling it with the known damage allows the new owner to decide.
I’ve had one or two with damage but once I’ve found all is mechanically sound I just go with the dings.
thanks for watching oscar and for the praise 👍👍
Fair play for showing the ‘fails’, as you said even the most experienced trader can get caught when operating under pressure or in a rush. However, you should still make a profit albeit a bit less than planned… as you said press on lessons learned!
agree
Great content, glad you will still come out on top. I have done the same and not looked at the car and the price and description caught the eye and not saw the bad side until after.😂
Yes and I am sure it will not be the last time I make that mistake 🤣 thanks for watching glen
@@carukchannel As long as you win more than you lose! Like your style and content, thanks for making great videos for us.
I done the same to saw a car cheap saw oneside and bidded as I went to pic it up the whole side was scraped and dented badly on the whole side 🙄🙄🙄
Love it mate wish I owmed it in fact as soon as you have had your fun from it I would love the chance to buy it from you
Good afternoon viewing mate.keep the videos coming👍
Thanks Chippy 👍👍
Another great 👍 video, look forward for next video.
Thanks Hardytch
I’ve got an 2010 estate. 347900 miles done and just passed it’s MOT without issue. This engine is bulletproof!!!
Yes I know a few taxi lads who run the diesels 2.0 good for 300k+
Not automatic? Heard Powershift is bad?
this model is 163 bhp ..road tax is cheap band D-E roughly about £13 month for road tax ..and is a Euro 5 emissions ..lovley motor
Yes it drives really nice too, can see why all the taxi lads like using the 2.0 diesel model
My God mate, another one? :) Good one. 2l diesel sounds better than the petrol one.
Bad luck, unfortunately. Have to agree with you Lee. Best to sell it as is. Guaranteed there will be plenty of buyers looking for a bargain, and willing to live with a bit of damage on it.
thanks dauntless, yes i think it will sell quickly
Lee another great looking Mondeo. I’m sure you will still make some dosh out of it. 👍👍
Hope so gary
Best way Lee, sell it as it is make a smaller bit, nothing lost and your customer gets a great car.
Agree Alastair, will update the channel when it sells all being well. Thanks again
Always liked the look of The Mondeo and Ford's in General the 2018 Focus RS looks awesome as A young Teen seeing an ST in RS Spec was good. Liked this year of Focus to. The Mondeo has always seemed to me a Reliable, Decent Workhorse the old ones to me seem like VAG 1.9 TDI or 2.0 TDI levels of reliability. There not show off or make you look like a Knob in a Beamer or Merc or Audi. Also the mid 2000's ST220 seems rare and cool to me someone had one not far from me was Blue and looked decent.
Excellent stuff again Lee
Can still make a few Bob out of it no doubt
Still a good family hack for a couple of years for someone
hopefully steve, thanks for watching again 👍👍
Lee you could go to co part and purchase a spare sill off another Mondeo and make sure it's the same colour to yours then you can get the spare sill in the same colour and get it put on to your car and it will be a very nice expensive car
I sold this one as it was in the end bud
Not a bad runabout for 1500 quid. Plus you still made a bit of money. Anything is better than a loss, especially afrer a nasty suprise 👍
Agree NB, it will give someone a good few years of solid motoring I am sure
The facelift mk5 diesels only have the 1.6tdi and 2.0tdi engines with 115 140 and 184 bhp. I had a 09 2.0tdi remapped to about 180 bhp and while faster it caused a judder so I had it removed back to standard. And it was nicer to drive. I have a 14 reg now they're great cars nothing can beat them for size space and practicality for the price. Even my daughter pxed her 3 series estate for a mondeo when the family out grew the BMW.
to be fair martin i am not surprised they dropped the 1.8 diesel as it made no sense as it was no better than the 1.6 performance and the 1.8 wet belt engines.
Great video again and at 1500 it will soon go, I think at least 1800, I have just purchased another car as I would be interested, nice motor
Thanks John
Keep the videos coming mate.
Will do, have a good weekend ragnor
Great attitude, that;s why your doing well
Thanks Brian 👍👍
I used to go prees heath and found out Aston Barclay owned it for years but didn’t change the name until like 9 or ten years ago
I put a lot of money through prees heath lol
Magic price point a grand! Nearly everyone can afford a grand and you can get an alright motor for that price!
Great video Lee. Could you just put stone chip paint on it also. Still sell as is.
Maybe but would look a little bodged I think, I mean i could improve it myself and get a colour match flick can but i am just going to try it as it is first on market place and see what response we get, thanks for watching motoring mems
Great video pal
Thanks 👍
Still a decent flip lee , with £500 profit hopefully, good videos , enjoy a watch.
Thanks
Thanks paul, will keep the videos coming
Lee you will always get lads that work on building sites that will buy cheap estate cars that mondeo will sell in a few days
Yes ideal runabout for someone am sure leeds
made the right decision i think on how to sell the car!! always liked this era modeo tho they were a good car !! until you had clutch probs
Yes they can be expensive to sort, have to say this one drove really well. Thanks for watching Alun
Right choice mate 😊
Thanks Dave
nice motor,shame about the damage but on a positive note,any profit,is profit!
Yes should turn a coin all being well, could of been worse don, thanks for watching
Good video mate 👍 Shame about the sill damage nice old motor otherwise. Must b still a few £££ profit just selling it in trade.
yes should be a little in there still, thanks for watching
Nice car won't break the bank repairing the damage good car I had two or three cars from the auction been my best cars
Thanks wayne
The best Mondeo's for me are the 2.2 tdci estates. Ghia or titanium x
These things happen 👍
Fair play fella, fair play
Thanks g4ry 👍
No offence but I always like religiously would go to auctions and pick up cars I’m buying and check the coolant and oil first then fire it up and for a few mins check everything’s ok , in this case after doing that I’d let it idle and clear the snow off, kick the tyres check the lights and then get ready to pull it out .👍
💯
Thanks for watching steve, have a good weekend
Those Mondeo’s are still decent motors.
Surprised you made that mistake as you come across so disciplined when you are at the auctions. But even I would get frustrated if I go to auctions and walking away with nothing so understandable as we are all human.
Great honest vid
The Citroen saxo I mentioned was sold for £1k and I dropped it off at Aston Barclay car auction Chelmsford so you may come across it in your travels
Happens to even the most experienced sometimes the heat of the auction, I was also a auctioneer and ran a car auction but still mistakes can be made. at least this one is not likely to cost me, thanks for watching parvin
Agree , been in my line of business for nearly 40 years and no matter how experienced you are , mistakes do happen.
i Have a MK4 Mondeo, i got a gel ford badge £10 quick fix cheaper than the proper ford badge and fitting issues
First timer on here. Love the honest presentation. You must work on turnover, as your margins are so tight, with the car being only a clutch and a tyre or two away from being a bit of a ‘mare. Very ‘real life’.
True colin, I do trade on a lot of stuff as thats my background with some stuff making its way to retail with some decent margin in.
@@carukchannel I’ve subscribed and will follow your channel - so refreshing to see and hear a bit of honesty with a distinct lack of BS. Best of luck to you and thanks for the reply.
What the heck? A 2011 2.0tdci mk4 in a good condition costs at least 6.000EUR here in Slovenia. The car prices in UK are crazy low :-/ I bought a 2007 1.8tdci mk4 in 2021 for 2.900EUR - good condition
car prices have gone up in the uk recently, they were even cheaper 18 months ago 🤣
That’s a shame Lee ain’t it, cos as you say for 11 plate, 130.000 miles it’s a good car. At the end of the day we are all fallible and mistakes happen unfortunately. When you give us a tour round the car and explain the tread on tyres, eg 5 mm tread, what is the depth of tread on a new tyre? Also, can you give us updates on when you sell your cars that you have bought so we know the full timescale of your buying to selling please? Cheers Lee. 👍
Yes, I am going to do monthly update videos on vehicles featured soon, as for new tyres they are 8ml from new 👍
@@carukchannel thanks, always wondered that. Cheers for reply Lee. Look forward to new vids. 🤘
I got one with 220k they run forever. P.s love the live auction videos
Thanks ali, off to the auctions tomorrow so some more content to follow this weekend from there all being well
2.0 I think is a psa unit pretty bombproof as chain drive and used in transit. 2.2 is better though the duratorq.
yes the 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2 are all PSA engines, the 1.8 is Ford engine and has no DPF in contrary to other engines
I have the same car it's a 2008 2.0 diesel with a timing belt, maybe they changed them in the mk5
Happens to the best of us Lee, so don't worry about it. You should still get out of it with your shirt on your back. With that history, and the fact that it's obviously been cared for mechanically, it will make a good smoker for someone. I used to have a customer who was a debt collector, and he always bought cars like this for work as he needed something usable but that he didn't care about. Some of his customers got a bit upset apparently. Whenever we had a slightly tatty big saloon with a bit of leg on it, he'd almost certainly have it. He bought a couple a year off us, and was as good as gold. Always paid in cash too, which was, erm, beneficial in those days. Nod nod, wink wink, if ya know what I mean.
Yes cant beat a bit of cash for a banger, them days seem to have well gone. Confident we will find a home for it.
That must be the other Lancashire CZcams car dealer Matt from high peak. Strangely only 2 car dealers websites I watch.
@@jeremywentworth1833 No, I'm not Matt from High Peak Autos. That's Matthew Goodwin. I used to work at an MG Rover main dealership in the Lancashire area back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Those were the good old bad old days. God I miss them.
I have a ford galaxy on a 2008 plate with the 2.0 litre engine 280000 miles best motor I've ever had.
Decent engine that can take the miles the 2.0
Given the high mileage, colour and its place of registration*, I would say this is an ex-taxi.
*A lot of taxis are Scots-registered.
maybe, thanks for watching simon
First time viewer but to give you advice if you want to buy and sell on a car and never ever hear from a customer again about complaints buy a Mitsubishi Colt from the 00s i have a 2007 1.1 and have had it 6 years paid £600 for it no issues in 6 years of motoring apart from having to change tyres and brakes , the engine has been serviced oil and filter changed once every 2 years but thats only like £80 you can buy the old Colts for like £500 at Auction yes they are very basic no fancy electronics or AC to go wrong , I noticed with Fords and Vauxhalls they look flash and have lots of toys but they always break down , I had a 2010 Astra sporthatch paid £3 grand for it in 2016 and it was rubbish the ECU went on it after 2 weeks the garage replaced it at a loss to them of £1000 but guess what the ECU only went and broke again after 2 months , so they gave me my money back which was very kind and i bought the old Colt they had for £600 on their own mechanics advice ,sorry to drag on a bit but just thought id give my 2 cents worth.
Don't see many colts anymore in the auctions to be fair, but yes they were a decent little car, the equivalent now would be the toyota Aygo as a small reliable cheap car to run
@@carukchannel Yeah they getting rarer as rust kills Japanese cars sadly but mines not got any thank goodness also the Aygo is ok but won’t do 120mph lol 😂 as the one I’ve got has been lightened only weighs 800kg and so long geared will hit 60 in 2nd gear , Ian from hubbub keeps asking me to lend it to him but he’s in Wales I’m in Ascot so way too far away lol
I had my 56-plate Colt diesel nearly 15 years, now done 230k, I've done 220k of those. 2 front springs, couple of other things in the suspension I forget. Had to replace the alternator few months back, was gutted. Total spend about £700 on repairs. Original everything else.
@@kryzondaan1855 Yeah they don’t look it on the outside but the mechanical components are very well made , Mercedes Benz Smart for four is same vehicle 🚗 so probably why it’s so well made 👍
Make a good car for somebody that will, fair car
Yes think it will Alan, drives well enough
Use the quick clear windscreen :)
I did, it was not very quick 😁😁
@@carukchannel ohhh😂
They have heated windscrean no use that
Yes, it took a while but did demist it eventually, thanks for watching bob 👍
Very pragmatic approach, if there’s no money in it then sell as is.
Thanks greg
Mate be very careful with that logbook and In future videos as people can change ownership with that number
Looked really nice until the damage such a shame
Yes, am sure it will find a home still, joys of buying from auctions 😒
So unprepared given the weather. Why am i not surprised you bought a lemon
The car drove spot on and we sold for a profit within 48 hours, if that's a lemon I will take a bunch please
Ford mondeo comes with a heated windscreen
yes did help in the end, once I managed to dig it out the snow, should of filmed me getting it out, it took a age and some welly to free it from the snow 😁
Will you make them aware of the damage? Because the sil damage, you could maybe get away with not
its very obvious c86, its just easier to list with the sill damage rather than waste people's time by not mentioning it. thanks for watching 👍
You should of used the heated windscreen to clear the ice
It was on david, I dont think it still being -3 helped, the ice was so thick on the screen I've never seen out like it
Still a good price these days
Doers the heated screen work?
yes but it was stil torture getting it defrost at -3, thanks for watching mark 👍
I can chew the diesel fumes from here 🤢
Love a bit of diesel 😁
Don't these have heated screens?
Yes they were on too, but dident help that much that day it was -3 phil. thanks for watching bud 👍👍👍
It’s another Mandy the mondeo
Is this still for sale?
That damage really wouldn't bother me, I'd give £1400 for it as it is...
Yes priced accordingly it will sell, just would of liked to have got it A1 and sold it as it drives so well. Anyhow am sure it will go at that sort of money, thanks for watching John 👍
Be Prepared ?
Don't you have a decent smart repairer that can do the paint?
bit more than a smart repair to be honest not sure if it showed up clearly on the video but its a fair old whack try telling
@@carukchannel
Yes it showed up. A decent smart man will pull out the dent using glue tabs and a pull bar. Fill and paint it and paint door and QTR panel on other side. It's what he charges you, that could be the stinking point. Good luck with it .
What you doing? Clear the snow off, then get in and hit the blowers. It's basic.
the Heater was on a good 10 minutes and still no joy, its the ice on the screen that's the issue and not having a scraper, not so much the snow. anyhow got it out in the end
@@carukchannel Don't want to rip any channel as I appreciate the content, but you're in the business and should be prepped.
I'll pay 1000 for that, is it for sale?
Need a car to replace my money pit of a car
Sorry Pif we took a deposit on it today for 1450, thanks for watching the video
Needed to be 500 all in, cars 12 years old. scrap
it sold within 24 hours for 1450 john
This is why I stopped trading
That car should be £500 at auction and £1995 retail.
Selling 160k cars is mental so much can go wrong and you the trader is liable for at least 6 months by law. By the time you've added your time and traveling youve made nothing.
Flipping cars for £500 is madness
i agree its more difficult these days but there is plenty of us still doing it and making money from it. as for the cra yes there is upto 6 months liability to a dealer but not for ware and tare if a clutch goes 5 months later with 4k miles racked up on it the dealer is not liable. a bit of common sense its easy to sort out any issues most of the time
Check the bikers cafe up the road 👍
Should Not have to mate if it's (ANY) good as all mondao's have fully heated windscreens please press the button 🤔.
NEVER BUY ANY CAR IN THE SNOW IN THE DARK, ! IV OWNED FORDS FOR 40 ODD YEARS AND HAVE HAD GRANADA'S 2.
9, 2.8 , CAPRI AND L.O.L. A GREAT OLD FORD ANGLIA . MONDAO'S MK2, MK3, MK4, AND JUST BOUGHT A 20 PLATE TITANIUM,

PURSONAL GUYS STAY AWAY FROM ACCTIONS IF YOU ARE AFTER A GOOD ONE , 👍
The heated screen was on mal, the ice under the snow was so thick it was taking a age to remove. It was still -3 when i filmed it so it was real struggle to get the thing out of the yard but go there.
I’ve delivered cars there
yes nice cafe been in a few times and the chippy
