Genuinely prefer watching these then a youtuber getting another lambo
Ya hoovie used to be very good not now
@@neilmurphy845 yeah not the worst offender for it
@@IFlyinBaconI Ya I don't get why there all gone that way now

@@IFlyinBaconI yeah at least hoovie buys interesting Lamborghinis. Getting tired of seeing Huracans and Aventadors now
"I don't think this will pass an MOT ever again"
"It does't need too for 4 months"
hahahahahahaha that man can sell a car
seeing Alex happy with a Vitara is way better than seeing those youtubers who get an expensive car for their birthday
Nope Seeing his dismay at the rust was priceless, fuck the Lambo CZcamsrs ,can't stand them most of them couldn't change a spark plug
Y'all remember when Ethan could barely call to ask to see a car?
Now he's been studying Mike Brewer
"I have half a million pounds worth of cars on the forecourt" - used car dealer speak for I haven't sold a single shit box in months, it's not a flex hun lol
People need to read between the lines more haha. Whenever I have cars sitting I'm sweating 😂😂 so when I hear dealers brag like that I just side eye them
You know damn fine he's the annoying family member at family gatherings who brags about how much value his business has. Almost certainly drives around in a mid-2000s Range Rover that he can barely afford to keep on the road.
@@drunkenhobo8020 to be fair, nobody can afford to keep a mid 2000’s Range Rover on the road. They exist exclusively to travel to garages bathed in orange lights and bonging.
Exactly what I thought!
Not necessarily. When I worked at a used car dealership, we had anywhere between 40-60 cars on the forecourt at any given time. Average price worked out around 13k, (500-800k in total) and we were selling 10-20 cars per week and bringing in another half trailer load of cars every week to keep the stock up. But we also had a back lot, for trade ins (like the Vitara) that weren't good enough for the forecourt, and they always got snatched up real quick because we just wanted rid of them. Having a lot of cars out front doesn't mean you haven't been able to sell them, it can just mean you've got a lot of space for a lot of different cars to ensure you have something for almost everyone.
Granted, this was 2 years ago. His story could be different what with covid and all.
Alex: I dont want something rusty...
Few hours later : RUST IN PEACE

So in Russia
All cars are way cheaper in UK compared to the rest of Europe bc they have a tiny market for them. For us market is the whole Europe since we have the steering wheel on the correct side of the car
@@ayyylmaooo Yup, that's the sole reason why cars in the UK are cheaper. Nobody wants them outside the UK.
@@tonikunec and that's exactly why I had an English Cooper S for over a year. It was literally half the price it would cost where I live
Thats some load of bs..since that car is dirt cheap in sweden
I’d be interested to see how well you could repair the rust using only the £300 you saved on the purchase price
That could be done easily for £300 even paying a professional to do it - you've got the repair sections with the car.
And it's not like it needs painted properly . A bit of zinc primer n a quick blast with a rattle can would see it right
@@rsscott5672 since it's not outside it probably wouldn't be clear coated so not even that bad to paint. I just painted the engine bay of a 106 with some random enamel model railway paint and it matched up nearly exactly
Gas and rods and a few hours no bigie
Get Ethan to do some welding - it'll be good experience for him now he is a qualified mechanic :-)
Let Ethan loose with a welding torch? That’s scary!!! 😱🤣😱🤣😱🤣

Awesome idea
"That wrap looks like a giant oil spill" fucking killed me
There are currently only 25 of these left on the road in the UK, for the love of God, PLEASE keep it alive!
And now you know why. I bet the others won't be in much better condition.
@@diotough True they do rot quite badly, but if you can keep on top of it they are fantastic machines and worthy of saving.
Is it both the 4 door and 2 door models? Or just the 4 door versions that are prone to rust badly?
I own the 2 door version (SV420) with a 2L 4cyl (J20a) but live in Australia luckily lol so no road salting.
@@muddyaxles4544 also how do you find out how many are left on the road? If its something i can do in Australia I'd be keen to see how many are left here.
@@craigsampson3386 I can only comment on how to find out how many of a particular model is left in the UK unfortunately. I think to put it bluntly, if its a Vitara and it lives in a climate similar to that of England's, its guaranteed to rust!
one of the many things that I love about britain is the cars depreciation , you can get a fleet for 10k.. in my country the same amount will get you seats and a steering wheel
Insurance, tax and petrol is super expensive here though
@@nohandlefound.depends, insurance is cheap depending on record

Agreed, for some reason all these gaming PCs end up on my feed, I was looking about 6 months ago. It's always: " I built this in 2013, AU$1,000". That's why I decided to build my own.

Typical car dealing swindler.
not a car guy but the balls to say on the phone he wouldn't drop from a grand & all the 'interest' he had on it, pretty much went to pieces like this car will be in 3 months when negotiating in person
@@someguynamedmike4766 🤣🤣
It's not too bad. Could probably weld in some new outer arches, run it with some AT205 to stop the leak and flip it for a profit.

@@poiiihy I reported it its ok lol
Since the boiz are only keeping it short term anyway, couldn't they have a go at welding it? It might just be enough to get it through the next MOT between Alex and Gareth learning to weld on it.

At the end of the day, it'd export any day of the week for £400 in a container and as a farm car, it's £300 all day long. Isn't worth a penny over £500, think we need Mike Brewer back to teach Alex how to buy a bloody car
Battery £20 resale value if holds charge. £5 scrap if not.

13:03 That's the downside of having clip-on OEM fender flares. The wet debris are clogged inside those flares and eats its way out of the wheel arches.

i think it should criminal to sell a car in that state remaining erm MOT or not
@@Sarah-bell But he's got a a quarter of a million pounds of other MOT'd shitboxes to sell!
Yep, I can't believe that Vitara passed it's last Mot.
Pays to know people or in this dealers case probably paid to know.
Hopefully having one of his cars featured here ends up with the dodgy bastard getting shut down.
Original and very entraining video, thanks guys! Keep them coming!
5:43 i love how it says audi holf astra corsa in the ad 😂
'I've got quarter of a million pounds worth of stock' Yeah okay mate the place looks like a scrapyard.
Thank you somebody finally. That salesman was an absolute bell end wouldn’t have given him a penny. “Will you move on price” “no” *drops two and half ton off the price
@@THEEGGMANwooooo drops 3 ton im sure lol
If all of his cars are worth 700gbp then he has 350 cars stocked up there.. his parking lot should be the size of football field 😁
If I ever heard someone say that I would have put the phone down and never delt with him again. Absolute bellend.
Man wanted a grand for a rusty heap, with an engine that's tappy and leaking oil everywhere, and only has 3/4 months MOT.
I would never buy a car from that bloke.
Probably has a quarter of a million cars
When the MOTs ends, offroad it to destruction
@Andrey Angere im interested
@Andrey Angere im not interested
Shame to scrap it for that as it's cosmetic really. They should just fiberglass over the hole next MOT. Then add more patches as it spreads lol
@@BlatentlyFakeName New arches aren't expensive for a Vitara even new, just have to weld them in and paint them with some corosion inhibitor and stone chip.
@@thomas316 I'm pretty sure those spare parts in the back were the repair sections
The name needs to be "Archie" after the rotten arches
Ethan on the phone with a grin on his face. The guy tells him "The inner wheel arches are rusty" and ethan continues to smile and says "Yeah, that's fine". Normally people would hang up if the guy tells them that.
"When is the last time you've seen one of these" is exactly right...
I think I couldn't bear to scrap that. It came with 2 good arches. Weld them in, and it seems like you'd have a great car? Maybe swap the 2 seatbases or find another passenger seatbase to fix the bolster.
Exactly. I can't remember the last time I've seen an 90's 4x4 aside from the eternal Mk1 and Mk2 Discovery. I really miss things like the Pajero being a relatively common sight because they had a million times more character than the stuff on the road today.
@@Reddsoldier I saw an early Frontera a few months ago. These used to be everywhere, despite or perhaps because of how weird they were.
I'm so sad they didn't go for the Forester.
We used to have a Vitara, when I was like 7. Our Octavia was scrapped, and it was a cheap stop gap car. It was a silver 3 door of a similar age, with a knocking engine that stunk of petrol with an oil leak, but it was a hell of a car for 2 months.
Love these buying-project-cars-and-getting-them-running videos! 👍
That rack of dumbells is worth more than they paid for the car 😂😂
"I've got quarter of a million quids worth of cars for sale" Nothing in the yard worth more than a few hundred quid.
He said he'd take nothing less than a grand and then sold it for 700 quid. Not a genuine guy

Jack: “Ford Escort 1.6 Fy-neice? Finesse?”
🤣🤣🤣
that panda bloke sounds pretty aggressive
That Vitara was never worth £1000 with that excessive rust, even at £700 its only worth £300
Thing was scrap tbh.
"even at 700 it's only worth 300"
Diane Abbott maths😂
@@Me-zo8yc No it isn't he is saying the car was £300 not £700 and given that the engine is leaking oil, its low on coolant something thats easy to check before selling a car and the main bad thing being that the wheel arches are rusted to shit. Its a 25 year old car too its worth hardly anything at all.
Foreigner, sounded like he was from Bradford 😂
@@gravemind6536 God, you guys keep that up, I love the car market here, lmao! That's why you pay insurance through your ass and have to tick like a dog for the treat. It'll click next time you look to the side dw.
Low on coolant!! 5£ a bottle.
Tune in next week for 'Ethan learns to weld'
Yeees
Literally in tears laughing seeing the reaction when the full extent of the rust is shown 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The boys did great!! Ethan made me chuckle... 😂😂😂👌
Car Salesman - "I've got quarter of a million pounds in cars advertised" Sounds like he's trying to flex until you realise that's about 20 2nd hand motors at 12.5 grand a piece
It looks like there are a lot more cars there than 20, and I think that's his estimation of what they worth. 30+ cars worth a few hundred pound a piece in his head is a quarter of a million.
It's also been said that "XX million on the forecourt" is dealer speak for 'I haven't shifted a single car in months'.
From what's visible in the background I don't think there's any cars there worth 5 figures, to a normal person anyway.
@@markwright3161 He was basically saying, "I've not sold a car for ages and I'm super skint so please buy this heap so I can feed my family"
Still, do you have a quarter Million lying around?? I would be proud to have a quarter of his quarter sitting around in my Yard...
Jack: “SOMEONE ORDER A FINESSE!!!???”””
Alex: not now jack....
FINEESE ALAN
Love it, i owned a green one for a decade. Always leaked a bit of oil, and also the engine sounded tappety when cold, but smooth after a few minutes. Except for a broken starter, it never let me down.
That genuine "OH MY GOD" reaction had me 😂😂😂
Finally! Can't wait to see these 3 back on my screen!
Thought they'd had a tiff...
Thanks for more gents 😎
12:13 can you move on price... "No"... "I've had other calls"..... Sure 😂
Ring him about any of the other cars on another number and he'll tell you the same sort of thing... Still, can't hate the dealer for that, he's got money to make.
@@ryano8768 exactly! But ya ,I don't have a problem with him regretting the offer but if he's lying about interest that's very diseptive
@@Danielevans2 That is the oldest car dealer trick in the book.

The Panda wouldn't have been cooler for him 🤣
I own the 2 door version (SV420) with the 2L 4cyl (J20a) in Australia and i absolutely LOVE my Vitara. Still keeping it even knowing i just bought a brand new Jimny last month! 😅
Was awesome seeing Alex's enthusiasm for the Vitara, I'd love to see him fix it, keep it and modify it 👍
The 3rd gen Vitara's 2.7L V6 (H27a) is basically a bolt in swap for his older 1st gen SV620 Vitara, for a decent power increase and theres still plenty of aftermarket support for 4x4 mods for these old Vitaras around the world.
Brilliant guys thank you

It’s great to see you guys on trending - this should always be the way.
You guys are such a gas!
It’s always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Can’t wait to follow this Vitara’s continued disintegration in Alex’s hands.
Oh, go technique on the dumbbell flies, fella
Repair the rust so it gets MOT in April.
More than rust. It needs a steering rack and has a serious oil leak. When it gets inspected, they will probably find it needs brake pipes, ball joints and more rust repairs doing to pass the MOT.
Still better than the Fiat lol

Ethan Smale: sassing car dealers (and Jack) since 2021 😂
I was always told "a car dealer will only make money if he rips you off, and he will."
And he did hahahahaha. I reckon that swindler gave 250 quid tops for that.
I love the red 90s Previa, such strong cars! But I do admit to loving the 94' Estima Lucida more.
Loving the dumbbells Alex!
I love how he's bought all of that Gym equipment just for this video
Accurate
😂
I heard he also paid extra to have the heavy parts delivered to his room.
Still making amazing content even during this crap lockdown. Keep it going boys, we will always love these new videos !!
I love the cars you guys normally get but this one is a proper shed!
It looks like it comes with cutouts for those bits! Could always make a video on you guys cutting the old arches out and maybe getting Ethan on the welder! 🤣
7:43 oh my god! I couldn't stop laughing at that honestly XD
I was kind of hoping for the Subie tbh
Alex has like 5 cars on his drive and none of them was his daily
I love how excited he got over a £700 rust box, true car enthusiast!
Jack looks like a man going through a mid-life crisis
Should have take that Forrester instead.
Definitely, bloody indestructible
True haha, I lowkey got annoyed on why they didn't grab that
You know what, it’s a fixer upper that would be a nice little gem all fixed & cleaned up prob last forever if you undersealed everything I mean everything!! Nice little find actually well done boys!
My Granda got a 2009 Skoda Fabia 4-Door for 650 quid (80,000 Miles/Diesel) and all that it needed done was the gearbox & the wipers. No mot either but passed first time with no major issues. Best bargain I know of
Damn I really missed these! Keep em coming, even tho it might be a bit difficult due to lockdown, but yea💪🏽😁
Quick PSA, just because a car has a valid MOT, it doesn't mean it is still road legal. You are still required to keep the vehicle in a safe condition.
Can never understand why dealers are allowed to sell things like this
@@ondank They're probably not, it's just that rarely do customers/victims organise together to take down a garage and it's usually too much hassle for one person.
Interestingly, a car only has to be roadworthy and have a valid MOT, which means you can legally drive a car you know would fail an MOT provided it is roadworthy, which is a far more limited definition - basically the lights and brakes must work, lights and windows should be clean. The car should also be maintained (so tyres have tread and air, washer bottle has fluid, brake and other fluids checked). So, in all likelihood, that car is road legal, although you do wonder how it passed an MOT 8 months ago!
@@imnotamechanic3491 For example I presume it's not illegal to drive a car with broken front fog lights, even though that would be an MOT fail.
@@drunkenhobo8020 Woah UK is strange, i thought we had strict vehicle inspections, but a MOT fail for broken fog lights is crazy. A lot of cars don't even have front fog lights, is that insta fail?
I thought UK was pretty chill about vehicle modifications so this is weird.
Liking this Vitara! Looking forward to seeing how you improve it. A ballsy buy but interesting.

I remember when Alex was the main person when he was offroading spacestar' / perodua'
I want to see this turned into a turbocharged, rust free daily. That can also do some offroading
As a Samurai owner this fills me with joy
From the intro, with the door being at the same level as Alex's head, I thought it would be an MR2 or something else that's about 3 ft tall 🤣😂 love the video
I was really hoping for the Forester, that looked good!
That might have been the smarter choice...
But Subaru guys knew from the intro that it will not be that Forester :)

Missed a trick not getting the Grand Vitara 'Sport'! I have an 02 (next gen from yours) 3 door 1.6 manual and it is the best daily you could ask for.
