This needs to be a permanent series. Maybe something like £500 to £50k
Yes and do a roadtrip with each car that would be so fun to watch
yall need to make one of these where you go from 5k to something crazy like a mk5 supra
Why stop at 50k - how high can they go?!
Mike Brewers Trading Up special
@@clairemarie4621 Pretty much double what they were a few months ago. That one's got a super low milage though.
petition for them to make this series a usual reoccurrence. i enjoy this way to much
edit: wow that 944 is nice
You spoiled😔
@@thraciandude oh shit sorry it was spoiled for me to lol maybe dont go to comments if you want a secret lol
@@J4NOObs it’s right at the top..
Buy one then
This is like my ‘first step dream car’ something I want to buy relatively rough/cheap and fix up as my first nice car, I’m 18 and haven’t yet managed to get a test because of COVID but I can dream that these will still be affordable by the time my insurance goes down
The Z4 was the real hero of this series. Ridiculously good buy.
yeah it's insane, the Z4, conditionwise and the price was crazy.
Completely agree. As much as I like the 944, I think it was not a step up from the Z4 Coupé.
I agree I also think the 944 was a ringer. I’m just not sold you could find one that clean under 8k
@@willrocks3504 west virgina 500 bucks dime a dozen been trying to get one to work on
“Are you mad bruv” the most quintessentially British thing said in this video. I love it
BUT is is a Fugly car. =)
Even as a Portuguese, i cracked laughing on that one 🤣 😂 😆 💀
Yoooo guys you need to keep this going. This is a brilliant series!
Yh
Completely agree. Why stop here?
Cracking

Definitely
I remember on Top Gear when May and Clarkson bought 944s in two separate challenges for £900 and £1500 respectively. Certainly an appreciating classic
Clarkson had a 928,May a 944,Hammond a 924.
@@robertsdmitrocenko439 Clarkson also had a 944 in the ambulance challenge.
While that is true for the £1500 Porsche challenge, the £1500 944 I’m referring to was Clarkson’s choice of car for a £1500 rear-wheel challenge in 2009 (Series 13 I think) - which featured a Morris Marina as the back up car
The 944 will never appreciate, keep dreaming though
Didn't Clarkson also buy a 944 for the Ambulance challenge?
As an Aussie, was a little disappointed you guys didn’t get the Monaro. Still the 944 is a great car and it’s been such a good series to watch!!
I think it's ridiculous how cheap they are over there, considering we have to pay upwards of 35k
@@jaydendixon7300 Ultimately comes down to demand which fluctuates the prices. But they’re very quickly becoming a collectors item here in Oz which is driving the prices up. They’re fabulous cars either way.
@@jaydendixon7300 just checked carsales and besides some shitbox ones they are more like 50k+ in victoria
I got irrationally excited when I saw the Monaro then had to calm down remembering they're not as popular over there
Can't you guys just import them?
"You have to be.. a Quaver to fit in side here". I love Jack, some of the things he comes out with is incredible. You can see the slot machine of words he's thinking of and end up with a crisp snack. It's perfect too, curled up and twisted.
im glad that he's one of the main folks after alex leaving. he's a lot of fun!
Alex prove how comfy it actually is in the in the back of the 944 (24 hours in a 944) all joking aside great content as always. great work guys!
If I remember right didn’t Jeremy clarkson turn one into an ambulance.
@@luissera1296 yes, he had a fully brown turbo which he made into the most dangerous ambulance ever.
Spoiler alert
I would love to see a Porsche 944 reimaginated by Singer.
I’m not singer but we will do better than them in a few years 🇫🇷
Porc she?
@@melangeken Do you know the Californa Company what restomods old Porsche 911s called "Singer"?
@@melangeken Oh S**t,I now i know what you are talking about.I cant write Porsche correctly. Im from Latvia so Mistakes can happen.😂🤦♂️
@@robertsdmitrocenko439 It's okay, had a good laugh. I make mistakes too and yes I know Singer it's an awesome company, I would like one of their cars if I had the money.
I don't wanna see you do another serious of trading up... I want to see this one continue. Keep that budget rolling!
Doubt they'll want to sell that 944 though
And they aren't making profit.
Autotrader paid the cars
Can we have a video of Alex's mother looking it over and driving it? It'll be wonderful to see her fawning over it... or absolutely tearing into it... whichever way it may go.
Also, that documentation is a thing of absolute beauty. Mad props to the guy who collated and curated that collection, that is some true passion and enthusiasm. Look after the car, guys!
The way how Alex trapped Jack in the boot bought back happy memories of old top gear. Good days 🥲
Yeah when Hammond was trapped in by Jeremey in the Ambulance episode.
I think it was supposed to be a reference to a time when Alex got trapped in the frunk of a mclaren in a car review.
@@genshinpostingch I cant remember that
I'd LOVE to see an ongoing series to see how far you can get. Whether it be upgrade all the way to high end sports cars or vintage classics. That would be amazing!
Keep this car for your personal collection alex, you have a history with it, its a beautiful base to make it 100% perfect
Would happily watch a continuous cycle of trading up series' forever even if we never got any other content. Absolutely brilliant.
4 minutes in and I'm guessing they didn't get the Monaro as I saw it on AutoTrader last night during my daily dream scroll...
Yea. Was so hoping they got it.Then they'd have realised wot a good and ( in my opinion) underrated car the Monaro is! In yellow they are better looking than Alex and RUST finding each other again!
Who should make the series into buying and selling cars trying to upgrade every time
O'ld out yer HAND!!!!!!
"I can feel you inside me Jack"
- Alex Car Throttle 13/8/2021
These guys are giving me the Jeremy Richard and James vibe with Ethan being James (mostly thinks about something sensible and drives like a mum )
That was effing brilliant as a mini series. Rory is also a legend. More!!!!
I'd love to see this format continue, who knows how far you can trade up.
For real now, I want this series to continue I want to see how far they can go from the 944 as a starting point now, this would be so much fun to watch!!
ive been watching car throttle since 2015, and I'm loving every bits of em. and its just keep getting better. thank you for the great content guys.
"holy grail" surely Ethan could afford some unholy socks? :-p
so i am not the only one who noticed :-D
Why you even looking at their feet. Werido
@@TheMoSalah 🤣🤣🤣 damn!
18:14 Love how Alex disconnects himself from reality due to this proper exhaust noise in the background
You guys NEEEEEED to continue this series! This is so exciting to watch, flipping cars to get a better one! What an amazing idea for a series! Please continue this!
This has been my favourite series you guy's have put out. Would love to see more!
Been waiting all week for this, loving the series
I think we all want you to keep trading up this has been awesome to watch .. cheers
This as a series has been one of the best guys. Would absolutely love too see another few of these!!
Love this channel! genuinely funny, down to earth guys and great content!
This has been a great series guys, looking forward to another in the future.
Awesome lil series! Would definitely want to see more of this!
Love the content, definitely missing the podcast!
This series has been a must watch. Look forward to more.
Yeah this definitely needs to be a regular thing. I very much enjoyed this series.
PLEASE, never stop this series!
I LOVE IT!
You guys have bought my dream car! Amazing to see one on the channel, hope it's next owner keeps up with the service documentation as well as past owners. A 944 is of my upmost priority once I get driving and have a few years of NCD
Loved the series, you need to do it again guys. 🙌
This definitely can’t be the end of this series. Keep it going! And now I want another Z4…sold my 3.0i to my dad a few years ago, cracking car.
I loved this series and I can't think of a better car to end with 😍, I 100% would be interested in seeing another trading up challenge, maybe with a twist involved 🤔
I personally don't even like this style of Porsche but I love seeing how excited they are about that 944! It's kind of infectious
I've really enjoyed this series, you might want to continue with it. Although, don't sell the 944, you'll regret it. I've owned a 944 S2 from my 20th to 26th, 6 years later I still regret selling it, especially when seeing you guys get so excited about it!
Keep this series going guys. Love them! 🙏🏼
Cheers from Tuscany
A Jag XK would have been a good choice, I can’t believe they never look at jags, right price would have been excellent.
They’re trying to make money not loose it lol 😂
Agreed! Xk’s are awesome but for 7k it’d be a high mileage example with not great history.
@@hgg219 good point
@@Jamesmorley1999 an older one, or even an XJ the blue XJ next to the Renault looked good.
Brilliant series, no more to say
I have always loved the 944. Now you've got me thinking about shopping in my car... hmmmm...
Haven't watched this channel in a while and frankly I forgot how good it is. It's also given me the motivation to do some bits and bobs to my car that needing doing... Cleaning it, being one of them (special treat for sailing through its MOT today).
Smashing job lads! Great series and hope you do another one.
Loved this series! Dont want to see the 944 go but you guys should definitely carry on flipling cars if possible to see how far you can push this 😁👍
Can't think of anything other than the striking resemblance between Alex and Hasbullah! 😭
You three are so genuine that I actually envy you
Lived this series, keep em coming!
love all the vids and would love you to do more of these
Love to see you both get so genuinely excited about a car - whilst going straight over Ethan's head 🙆
Loving this! Would be awesome if you guys did more of these! ❤
That looks so good. Also, u guys need to continue this series.
You guys are really starting to feel like old Top Gear. Spot on!
this car is incredibly beatiful.
My uncle had one back in the 00s, so many menories
This trade-up episode needs making into a series for sure..top work lads🤙
This series was great, keep up the good work we need more
between this series & the one where Ethan has to learn/do things on his own they're both fantastic
Lol Patriots are much better than the Bills mate.
Love the 944, definitely underrated but is gaining traction among enthusiasts. But to be honest the Monaro was more exciting to me.
Or an E46 M3...
I bet you the monaro seller wouldn't budge on price, which means it was 300 over budget
amazing series! pls continue this, and also pls make more podcasts as they are very fun to listen to!
i dont think i coulda brought myself to get rid of the z4, but that 944 is gorgeous. please make more of these, maybe a longer running series with a rule to increase at least 20k in value or something like that. awesome work guys
I rarely comment but this needs to be a regular thing, this is the perfect series, everyone wishes they were Del boy but most end up being a Rodney xD
Challenge you 3 vs Mike brewer trading up that would be good
Or Vs Rory 😉😉
Brewer is insufferable
As much as I love the 944, I was so upset you guys didn't get the Monaro. They're a classic Australian car made and sold in Australia as Holden's but GM sold them as a Vauxhall over there. Holden has been slowly dying since 2013 when they stopped making their cars in Australia and have just died completely closing doors last year. Since then the price of Monaro's have skyrocketed they go for anywhere between $50k and $250k depending on model and condition.
I love this series!! Keep doing em!!!
Awesome stuff! Really enjoyable. I really can't figure out why someone who put that much effort and money into a car would sell it so cheap.
This series is definitely up there in my top 3. Been watching you since the beginning 👌🏻
Great series! Would love to see more trade up videos like this!
This is a brilliant series. Keep it up
One question comes to my mind though : Why would someone take good care of his iconic car to finally sell it for under 7K pounds ? I don't get it...
Probably because he needed the money for something else; i doubt he wanted to sell it.
Yh it doesn’t make sense especially when he spent over £10k on it
It’s called children .. :-)
Financial turmoil forces one to make desperate decisions.. I feel for the poor guy who owned this car before Alex. I wouldnt want to part ways with something that special.
Because that’s all it’s worth. You could spend 30k on a full strip down restoration but it will still only be worth what the market says it’s worth, you would get a bit of of a jump
because of the condition but you will never get your money back. Who knows why they sold it, circumstances change, I emigrated last year and had to sell both of my cars, one I intended to keep the rest of my life and the other I’d only bought 9 months earlier. You never know what’s around the corner.
Amazing! Would love a 944!
I loved it! Keep it going! We love the channel and the series!
Yes would 100% love you guys to continue a series like this... 🙂
“So I’ve mentioned it once or twice”
That’s per podcast I would say.
The one thing mentioned more than the Royal Mail. :)
Loving this! - Also a tip for a future "Living with a ..." video: Today I saw a slammed early 2000s BMW 5-series estate, which seemed to have 2mm of ground clearence, skipping like a demented puppy over the un-even street outside my place of work, while going south of 40 km/h, having it's wheels at angles that would suggest total suspension failiure and scraping it's underbelly in the ground every 3 seconds. Looked absolutely rediculous - so naturally I want to know how it is to live with a slammed car? Please - I need to know!
Its terrible honestly. Sacrifice anything for "looks".
I bought a sports car that was lowered, not even slammed, I got so sick of constantly scraping on speed bumps, driveways, and all that stuff that I raised it back up to factory height.
I couldnt fathom driving something completely slammed.
It isn’t to bad I drove a 2017 Passat that was lowered 4 inches and I never complained
@@_Zekken - In other words - it would make for hilarious entertainment!
Absolutely disgusting I’ve got a bagged 535 and a lowered bora pd150 absolutely sacrifice any comfort for looks the 535 isn’t too bad when the bags are up but what’s the point in having the bags up lol
Bought a civic type r EP3 a few years ago, mugen everything and on coilovers. I ended up putting the oem shocks back on. Can't mount on a pavement to park so narrow street parking is a no go, you'll scratch the body on the pavement if you're not careful when parking, ride quality is horrific if it's a daily and not a track monster, handling was impeccable and it looked beautiful, at the sacrifice of comfort and convenience.
MY favourite series on youtube right now... please keep going!
This has been a great series, you've got to keep it going. Maybe some tasteful repairs to the interior, full clean and tidy to the paintwork, followed by a tour (Nurburgring?). Then.... trade up again?
Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since the first cheap car challenge vid!
honestly felt shorter and longer as well but...might just be me
@@Petrik_33 it’s been a weird 2 years!
Sad Car!!! I own a original 2003 Holden GTO Monaro and they r SICK!!! Peace and love from NZ.
I had a Monaro vxr for 2 years and I loved it.
those cars are wicked cool. Saw one only a few hours before typing this reply, they both look and sound awesome. A modern classic
These videos just keep getting better... would be great to see this as a series.
we need this series all the time! So fun
Damn disappointed you didn't manage to get the Monaro, the car you chose was cool tho
*Finally! A worthy opponent, our battle shall be legendary!* Well done on the purchase guys 👍 Got in at the right time too with the prices, we look forward to seeing what you do with your one.
Thanks for the spoiler!
@@silence9966 Indeed, also our bads for looking onto the comments tho
@@JulianDaniel2003 I always look at the comments idk why lol
Mate you ruined the video cheers
Haha he changed it so it wouldn't say the cars name good job mate
Please more of this. That was a awsome Series.
Brilliant series! Please keep trading up and continue the series
You know its a good car when two adults fight over who's car it is.
Somebody said this: "I'm throwing down the gauntlet right here, this series has to continue until you get a Lambo. It is the only way!"
I agree but an LFA god please
This type of content suits this channel perfectly. Loved it!
I really enjoyed this series more than a lot of your content!
Sorry but the rear of the GTV doesn't look good.... Also...
This should continue for sure!
Yes. Keep this series going!
Bro this is a sick series keep it coming
This should be repeated though I'd say you don't do it on Auto Trader. A car cleaning products sponsor would be good for a continued series of this
Alex and Jack fighting over whose car it is makes this so much funnier 😂
I definetly want to see another more of these!
Please continue this series! Even just once every 1-2 months.
See how far you can go with it
Surely Alex meant it whole-heartedly when he said “Rory is very average at his job” because he is simply stating a fact 🤣🤣🤣🤣
