Wow this must be the first video in CZcams ever that has been laid out so well, no need to talk over for hours , click baits and making a multi series. This is what we all wanted and needed and you've over delivered. Also this guy is a true professional ! If I was buying a car I'd want to buy it from someone like him.
Thanks Sam!
If you go to the description you will find said multi series this video sums up
Yup, this guy deserves more out there. Well done indeed.
You have to have at least a very keen eye for the state of cars. For the untrained eye, you can upsell cars like this all you want but customers will quickly find you with warranty issues if there are serious problems.
Warranty issues are to be discussed with new and used car dealers and prices are marked up accordingly.
When Used cars sold privately they are usually cheaper than from a used car dealer because private sellers do not offer warranties, insurances or garuntees.
You can get a bloody good bargain buying a car privately but you can also get an outright lemon. It’s up to the purchaser to do their homework on vehicle’s before committing to a private purchase.
I do the exact same thing as this guy on the side,,, and I confidently say that just by watching this video he is quite switched on with cars and knows not to buy a shit box that is gonna cost him more than he will make out of it,, and you do not need a shitbox to come back and bite you in the arse. Even as a private seller,,, your reputation is important. But in saying that,,,, a purchaser needs to solidly understand that they are not buying a new car and that if the car blows up 10 mins down the road,,, it’s not the seller’s problem. We all take risks!
I've had my own valeting business for 8 years now, and it's amazing how you can polish and clean money into a car..... A few hours elbow grease and the difference is amazing, it doesn't have to be perfect but as long as it's better than the other cars out there on sale it'll definitely catch the eye and more likely to sell....
Very true. It bugs me how many other traders out there don't bother properly cleaning a vehicle before marketing it. To me that speaks volumes about their attitude towards their stock!
What cleaning products do you recommend?
@@JohnnyGetsCash Are you the one who exercises these repair and detailing skills? If yes, how can I reach you? I’ve got business. Thanks
Can't polish a turd though very few cars 150 quid
@@blob6591I’d 100% watch that
What’s so good about this apart from your clear skill in restoring these cars is just how long this video must have took to produce and then edit. All time lapse or normal footage speeded up.
Working the camera angles out , not being able to make a mistake, man the list goes on!
Then to stitch it all together so well with the choice of music.
Take my hat off to you! I thought my videos were tricky, yours is next level.
Thanks so much! I have to admit that filming and editing not my forte so learning how to do this as I go, along side the actual car work is sometimes a bit challenging, but then when I read comments like yours it makes me feel that it has been worth the effort! Thanks again for your comment and thank you for watching!
@@JohnnyGetsCash where about are you, i could join in to help in progress
Salute 🙏✋
Really inspirational, what a great all rounder you are
Talented
It might just be me, but I'm actually quite happy about the truck you brought in at 14:05. It was actually a work truck used for its purpose and you gave it so much love. It was like the truck got to reap the rewards of all its hard work and retire to enjoy a new relaxing life.
Exactly this 👍
Probably the gayest comment I’ve ever seen
@@yusufoguz215😂
@@yusufoguz215 lmao
Great video... you did turn that £150 to £12k but with a couple of £1k of good quality labour added to the mix... us average folk wouldn't find it so easy as a pro like you.
Thanks for watching! It is a lot of work, and i know it probably seems a bit crazy watching someone who does this all the time undertake this process, but i'm very grateful to you for taking the time to check out the video!
@@JohnnyGetsCash Nothing crazy at all about watching a pro at work, who's sharing valuable money making ideas.. Thank you for this content and I hope Johnny keep on Getting that Cash for decades to come... 😀
yeh plus some of the spending budgets arent accounted for in the vids - if its parts that then require expertise and time and tools to diagnose and fix then there can be a lot more than a wash needed
You definitely earned your money! The Timelapse makes it look easy but it’s not and you’ve got a new subscriber!
Thanks very much and a massive thanks again for subscribing! Cheers!
Very, very entertaining video. Loved the format; no-nonsense, get on with it, no waffle. Super up-beat backing tracks. About half an hour long is perfect. You deserve everything that comes from this effort. Bloody hard work, well done! Looking forward to more.
Wonderful, If I may suggest you put the time you spent on each car (cleaning + fixing) to see the costs per hour spend and weigh efficiency. In terms of time you hold the car before selling it this has a different ratio.
I don’t think it matters what hours one would spend doing this what else could you be doing with your free time he is making money
@connor. (Jonny is amazing.)The time it takes to make a profit doesn’t matter if it’s a hobbiy but if you were looking to do this as a job the time is a very important consideration.
You make it seem so easy and effortless😊 while as a wide profile car mechanic myself I clearly see how much knowledge and training is needed to do it the way you do. No doubt, Johnny will get very big amounts of well deserved cash! Good luck to you brother!
Thanks for watching!
I live the fact that you're really looking after those cars and doing some mods, not just cleaning them
What a hard working guy you deserve all the rewards.
Excellent vid as usual Johnny.. the touch ups and the effort you put into detailing and cleaning is incredible and really pays off..
Thank you! Hopefully that supercar isn’t far away now!
I agree beautiful car
Finally someone who also sands the headlights down, before polishing. Great work!
Thank you!
@@deanmitchell5641 it really depends how badly deteriorated the lens is. I find a graduated flatting always gives a great base for polishing. I’m sure there are instances where polishing alone would work, but I guess I’ve only ever worked on badly degraded lenses!
So many youtubers start this kind of thing and give up after the first car. You've got the skills and balance of effort and money vs reward spot on.
Thanks very much! Loads of other channels have tried this and then quietly swept the project under the rug once they realise how hard it is 😂. I have moved on a fair few steps since this overview video and can say that the end is almost in sight now!
One of the very few times I’d thank the algorithm for bringing me to an amazing content. Insane attention to detail, great mechanical and cosmetic skills!
Love this, your hard work definitely pays off! Some incredible transformations here, and the skills you have add massive value! Well done sir!
I reckon this would take a few years, but it'll be worth it. The amount of stuff you learn about cars and the tools you acquire along the way are totally worth it. And one day you might even buy your dream car.
I need to start doing this as a side hustle. I'm a vehicle technician so i got the tools and skills, just need somwhere to keep the cars and work on them. This video has motivated me!
Im glad to hear this has motivated you. Best of luck with your venture!
Thats the problem depending where you live a unit and storage COULD cost you 1k+ per month
@@lukecowell7516 speak to a storage unit place, I rent out a container and have free space around it to do whatever I want for £130 quid a month.
@@lukecowell7516 I've got everything for me the problem would be insuring these cars for the time that I owe them
@FreeMobileGames4u west london mate im also 20yo so theres that
This guy knows what he's doing,you dont get this experiance overnight,takes years.
A true professional...
Excellent video and thumbs up for your hard work and all round expertise! Great video format and no useless filler.Subscribed!
That polishing machine worked harder than I ever did in my life 😂
New subscriber because he didn't waffle on like so many do for hours and only show limited stuff. There is really no messing around with this legend great work great effort and flawless content 👏 well done sir you are a legend 👏
Thanks very much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe! Cheers!
Car flipping 101. Do not forget people that Johnny knows his cars. They are all in good technical condition or else this could not be profitable. That is a must skill when finding used cars. Also Johnny has knowledge regarding resell value meaning he must buy cars to a nice price to be able to earn money. Also he has place, tools, time and knowledge to prepare the cars for future buyers. It may look simple but it is still a demanding task. Thanks to Johnny for sharing and inspiring all viewers.
Ace. Not only cleaning and polishing but proper repairs and the rest. Love it.
I’m really interested in seeing a detailed step by step guide how you fix and paint the small problem areas, you do that so well!
Check out my channel! I have a host of how to videos on this subject 👍
Awesome johnny
Im interested aswell
I could honestly watch these all day, fantastic, very impressive, hopefully you do many more of these!
Thanks very much! Lots more to come!
Great work man!!! I do flip cars every now and then as my hobby. I buy dirt cheap cars, fix mechanical thing and strongly believe in detailing. But i am not that confident for body work, like body filling/painting and rust patchings. But now i think i should try that too.
But you videos are very motivational. Huge respect🙌
Nice to see your hard work paying off, oddly enough I've just bought a cheapish 2006 RAV4, I'm inspired now to try and do the same! And overall a great vid 👌🏼
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Great work. Durable repairs and professional buffing, I like it!
Ok but one could wonder how long the whole period of the flipping them really took because this entire clip of 26 min is posted on fast forward, could be a year, 2, even 3..
specially with pandemic delays, war and all the latest food and micro-chip crisis or other troubles in the world i don't even want to know..
@@poplaurentiu4148 yup, this is the summary of a project so far. This started 3 years ago. At least that's the publish date of the first video, you could check his intire detail progress, video links are in the description
I love what you did with all these cars. You gave life at them and back to their previous glorious days. Great content. You got a new subscriber. Greetings from Greece and thanks again for a wonderful video.
Thank you Maria!
Truly impressive mate! Really nice effort you put in and the result is awesome! Glad I found your channel! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Great another video of you in action. Just what Sundays are all about.
Thanks for watching!
@@JohnnyGetsCash you make awesome content so it’s a no brainier. It’s great to see you flip each vehicle and trade up.
@@recreativesigns4571 thank you! That supercar isn’t far off!
You know what you doing mate, amazing work!
Thanks very much!
Brilliant, exactly how I'd like a video like this to be. Well done, you sure know your stuff.
Excellent, very thorough cleaning of cars and skilled repairs… wish I could do all that. Must be very satisfying. I look forward to seeing the next video. Nice one. Good luck to you.
Really great video, top work. I'm curious to know how long it takes from getting a car in to selling it on if you're just polishing & cleaning?
Good video bro love the hard work you always putting in. 🎉
Thanks, the road to a supercar is right in front of me now, just gotta keep my head down!
@@JohnnyGetsCash definitely bro 😎 what are you thinking of getting?
Excellent job Johnny, really excited to see what’s next! 👏🏻🤩
Thanks for watching! Next phase inbound soon!
Awesome video , no time wasting just straight to the point. Obviously pretty talented mechanic/ panel beater but decent results
Really Good video. Subscribed because I'm also interested in this kind of thing. Trying to hunt out bargain finds to start flipping. Thank you for this, lovely stuff!
Thanks for watching, and thank you for subscribing!
You got the first car for scrap price, did it even run? 😮
Incredible job cleaning up the cars 🙂
I like Ur vid but also Ur honestly and hard work . The buyers would be happy knowing u put that work in... I like this field of work
Great video man! The only critique I’d give is show us the final result. You put your text banners over all the juicy finished shots of the vehicles, we want to see the before and after! Good job man:)
I’m curious where you found a running car for 150 bucks.
Lmao this. No one commented on this. Like a few bikes at Walmart go over $150. Who tf sells a car for $150 😂
Uk second hand car market is crazy
Incredible work !! I'm curious about the time you spent on cleaning and restoring the cars 🙂
Maybe 2 cars per month
most cars can easily be done in a day
Woops amazing transformation on all vehicles, absolutely brilliant to watch 👌🏻💪🏻🏴
Well done, it was a pleasure to watch 👍 The transformation of the Toyota Hilux was very impressive
I have no idea how you can buy a rav 4 for £150 that's half scrap price and unless it had loads of faults on the MOT there's surely no way that's possible that it didn't sell for at least 1k
Also they in good condition sell for about 2.5 anyway
Videos a scam, prices are all way off. Dude really days he dyno'd that 350 and only spent 140 pounds total on it? Get fucked 🤣
Surely not lucky enough for all of the lower budget cars to be mechanically fine? Love your work mate and something I'd love to do 👍
The first car (the Rav 4) had some engine management gremlins that I had to spend some money getting sorted but honestly the rest were very well behaved with nothing more than routine servicing being done before they left me 👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash I wouldn't be that lucky 🤣 you've got a very keen eye for detail mate and you make them look as good as they possibly can, something I've always wanted to do, being a car lover!
@@mikehudson537 thanks very much. Sometimes it feels like a fool’s errand so it’s great to hear that people appreciate all the extra touches to make the cars just right!
This was a great watch. I’d love to have the knowledge and skill enough just to make my car look as good as those! Cracking vid
Love how you work , and I have learned how to do things better since watching thanks my friend for the great videos.
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
The £150 car was a great find! Usually the cars I see that are that cheap are destined for the breakers' yard
£150 was the approximate scrap price at the time and given that the car was a bit of a no-hoper, that’s what I offered and the previous owner jumped at it! I think they were expecting less to be honest!
How do you get a rav 4 for £150
This video is inspiring. Ive started doing a similar thing but you have given me the inspiration to step it up as youve proved to me its possible.
Could you tell us what filler you use on the bodywork and where you get the right colour paint from?
Keep it up. I'm going to watch the other videos
Also wondering this how he get right collor
@@TotalWarriorLegendsevery car has a paint code. Find the paint code in the manual, boot or doors and match it, harder with a spray can but possible as shown. I’m a mechanic but I do all the cleaning painting and mechanical side like him.
Behind of the scene , there lots of the experience, hours, pain… well done. Brilliant!
Brilliant video as always johny fantastic editing and some amazing profits have been made looking forward to the next video 👍👍👍
Thank you! Onto the next phase!
How long did it take you to flip all those cars?
how can one bloke have skill set? takes me half an hour to swap a tail light bulb out!!!! 😏
Lots of practice and lots of getting it wrong over the years 😂. Thanks for watching 👍
Very nice work indeed - it's amazing what you can accomplish with a few tools and some knowledge of mechanics and car care. Awesome.
You're talented, you've got great attention to detail. You make the cars the best version of themselves with hard work and attention to detail. Hats off to you mate!
Thank you very much
You forgot to mention you hit the lottery the million dollar question is how do you find a car at scrap price everyone is playing that game.. reality is you'll end up paying £600 on a beat up kia or £1200 on a volvo convertible
Not really…
If your lucky and always looking for a cheap car you’ll find it
Facebook market place is the place to go to find a car below £500
😂 nah you have to become an interceptor. I used to valet for 2 main dealers, trade ins that were supposed to go to auction, get to know the right person no longer go to auction. They get sold no warranty no return. Is what it is.
Think outside the box and don't always think online is the best place for deals.
How would you even find a running car for £150
such a satisfying video to watch. I love the way you detail and touch up the cars. Defo think you should have sold the cars for more tho, you deserve more money haha
First time seeing your content and you’ve just earned a sub! Awesome video bruv!
#1: Buy £1000 car for £150
Wait wait wait wait… what… do you mean the whole car is £150? Wth how… you can’t just buy a car for a cost of 20 large pizzas with no visible issues , wash it and sell for 10 times more. is this a joke or idk… in what world do you live in?
That puts a whole new meaning to the expression "elbow grease"! This was amazingly satisfying to watch! I envy your skillset :)
Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed watching!
Thanks for posting this dude, inspired me to do some body work on my car! I hope you get a million views
Thanks very much!
A rav 4 for £150 😂 sure
This was a superb video - one of the best I’ve seen on CZcams. Great work!
Thanks Anthony, that's really great to hear!
Well done you've made it look easy but there are hours of work that you don't see, new subscriber following the journey 👍
Thank you, Yousuf
Thank You. Simple, Shows The Details & Process. Your gonna start gaining more popularity, I mean its great. 500k views already.
This is an amazing video and it's obvious that so much work has gone into it. Doing the cars up and recording, editing. The only improvement I could see is, you could have shown us all around d the car start and finish without having any sort of overlay. Overall though, a really excellent job. Subbed.
Hi there Johnny. New to your channel. I really like your style . Good to see a no messing around channel . Get the job done and move on . Keep it up up buddy. 😊👍
Thanks very much, glad to have you aboard!
Wish I had the expertise, location and tools to do what you do effortlessly Johnny
Well done👍
Wow, best youtube video i saw so far, no talk, just doing what it's in thumbnail 👏 love it, keep doing the good content 👍 😀
Thanks very much!
Does it have a part 2 ALREADY? Can't waittt!!!
Excellent format and timing of information. Ok, you got access to great fascilities and tools, but you sure know how to use them as well. I am curios how far you will go? What is your end goal? You got yourself a new subscriber.
Toyota pick up was my favourite project.
Besides, most projects were gr8! all-around skills are overwhelming!
Respect for all the hard work!
Hard work and attention to detail pay off, well done.
Absolutely brilliant mate loads of hard work and know how, but what rewards eh? Really impressive.
Honest work always pays off.
Kudos..
I flip German luxury here in the states and also repair a bunch of things and detail. But damn taking the seats out on those beaters mad impressive! That’s the one area I would have stopped at !
My heart sank as I saw the Discovery and thought of the your hard earned profit vanishing :o) well done for sorting it
This is the only sort of gambling I go in for…the occasional risky car but when it pays off - what a buzz 😂
B.T.W. LOVED what you done with the pick up. BRAVO!
He deserves every penny. Nice to watch a real expert at work
Thank you very much David, and thank you for watching!
This was very satisfying to watch!
Congratulations. Great video!!
Johnny has skills (and workshop), works damn hard and makes money. Timeless story 😊
You really put your back into these cars mate well done I hope one day you can sit back and watch someone else working for you as hard Your a credit to the industry Bear Hull UK
Very impressive work! Not only flipping the cars but also the quality of the video and video editing. Keep these videos going! This was the first video of your channel that I’ve watched, just subscribed to see more in the future. Good luck and greetings from Brazil
To be fair that was a brilliant video. Well done mate.
Μπράβο,φίλε,μοναδικός και πολυμήχανος και το σημαντικότερο αξίζεις τα χρήματα!!!Σέβασμός!
Makes it look so easy.great stuff.
Love the video! Just a small suggestion, I would love you to post a side by side picture of the start and finish of each car so we can see the difference! I bet it's night and day! Keep up the good work"!
Very very impressive..👍👍...Thank you superb viewing ...
The bbc is finished when people this good are out there.
Great work, you obviously know what your doing. Like you car choices👍
Thanks John 👍
First time seeing your vid. Great job ypu make them small chip damage so simple to repair. Excellent work 👌
Really enjoyed the video, would personally like to see more of the broken parts and what you replaced and repaired and smaller educational tips if possible but overall I loved this!
Thanks. Check out my channel for other videos similar to what you’ve mentioned
