Car Dealers Diary
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 січ 2023
2 years ago I decided to take the plunge and turn my hobby into my full time career.
Part of the plan was to open a small car dealership to bring in the majority of the income so here it is.
This channel focuses on the dealership side of the business, the daily running, buying/selling, the warranty claims and everything else that come along with running a small dealership.
Join us for the journey and lets see how this venture pans out.

Cheap is cheerful for any new driver, just starting out. Cheers and see you in the next one. 👍👍
Yeh, perfect for a new driver
Just found your channel and like your style and content..Thanks Pal and good luck.
Awesome! Thank you
Enjoying the video 😊
Thanks Daniel
Excellent video sir.. just wanted to ask what kind of warranty will u be putting on your cars? Also how much does a warranty cost u? Also who do u go through for warranty?
Thank you. All my cars come with a 3 month warranty as standard but it can be extended. If the sale is local to us we look after our own warranty in house but if the customer is from further afield we use Warranty Wise. The cost of warranty depends on age, mileage and a few other things so it varies.
@@cardealersdiary i like the way u handle things an i hope for a good person like u that ur business grows until u become a household name 💯
Nice little car
Thanks dude
Another great video Steven with the family seen Charlie and Katie mate you are the most genuine person and your business will only grow I will definitely be giving you my business and will recommend you to all of my contacts 👍
Thank you for an awesome comment! We really appreciate the kind words and support.
cracking little car the 107. They run on fresh air practically .
Coming in a video soon you will see I have the whole collection in stock 😉
Great to see things on the up buddy 👍 I guarantee any1 buying a car from yourself will get an absolute bargain and 5* star customer service keep up the great work
Thanks John, it’s getting there. Looking forward to getting them all on the website for sale.
no water trap, no regulator, no hope of getting anything decent out of that set upo.....but........you knew that anyway eh? good entertainment tho
😂 yeh we knew, just wanted to see if someone at home for under 100 quid could paint a panel. You can but it’s not brilliant but to be fair after a wet send and buff it looks ok and it’s still on the car now.
Sad to see an Evo in a scrapyard, but it’s the UK so it’s probably rotten through 😂
100% but you are correct it’s totally rotten so even if it wasn’t smashed the sills would need a lot of work
In my opinion copart is properly taking the p#@s nowadays... I've started shopping elsewhere myself..🤙🤙🤙🤙
100% what one are you using
Nowt rang with using a finger !!!!
😂
What make is your plastic welder my friend
Not sure of the brand mate, I'll have a look tomorrow when im in but i think its just a cheaper ebay one
I've also seen people melt steel wool into the plastic which is supposed to have superior strength over the wiggly staple things. Or of course you could do both.
I've never seen the wool trick, seen people melt a mesh in before. Worth a try though.
@@cardealersdiary yeah i've seen the mesh too, it must be similar to the steel wool for strength
I've seen the product on many times and did think are they any good as you can buy many things like plastic welding as well on temu site but you have to be careful with the quality so I will look around as it's a good easy fix so you don't have to replace the bumpers saves money thanks for showing us 👍
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and im glad it helped.
You underestimat your skill is looking great Still playing catch up
Thanks Daniel
Makes an interesting video more cost affecetive and good for diy skills for some unknown reason my subscribe had been turned off always good to play catch up
100% i think its always better yo repair if possible rather than replace.
A very interesting video C4 looks good. skoda two higher mileage Peugeot a no no too bigger bumper over to you
Looks like we were outbid on them all except 1 Lost the Cactus by 25 quid 😢
Hi bud. What auction is this it looks good?
NSAA in Addiewell, you can find them on Salvage Markets
@@cardealersdiary OK thanks
Just found your channel and subscribed. Whats your other channel called ?
It's on his shirt young fam
Home Built Garage mate, I've also put a link in the description 👍
I'm just wondering was the Evo an R reg, with black bonnet and blown crank??? I'm a new subscriber, my cousin used own one, one of the same and was left on the garden to rot in Coventry
Hard to tell, no plates and its pretty bkack on top, apparently its been there for about 12 years
Just watched the video , I buy a fair amount of salvage myself and I can't believe that you're telling people that nsaa is cheaper than copart . Surely you would prefer people not knowing about this site to keep bidding to a minimum on vehicles as there are so many DIYers overpaying already . Don't think that a lot of thought went in to this ! Good luck with the bidding today .
I don't mind sharing with people, out of the couple of thousand people that see this video how many are actually going to bid on the auction. I would rather see the little guys get a turn before Copart.
Im one of the small guys, so thank you for that hook up mate.
Nice one. Another you tuber encouraging Joe public to repair cars on their front drive.
@@birch4x4 whats wrong with drive way repairs when you cant afford a unit, how do i afford a unit without drive way repairs?
Bet you do a beautiful job 👍
The skoda looks like i good buy if the price is right never seen a fabia scout to be honest my friend got a old 2000 plate fabia 1.4 petrol they are 2nd owner just done 116000 and the engine and gearbox been fine and still going and they had it 4 years only been normal little jobs for mot so they are reliable but the skoda i think 👍
I love the little Skoda, I've got a bid on it so fingers crossed
On the cactus you should check the state of the adblue tank as it sits in the rear of the boot. The tank is plastic and contains the pump as all 1 unit and if it needs replacement its £1k
Thanks for heads up mate, everything seemed fine but its hard to tell lying on the floor. Might need the plastic welder out 😂
Hi mate I think you could definitely get all three cars and do we'll 👍
Thats would be awesome
Definitely the cactus number one , then the Skoda forget the Peugeot 👍🚗🌞
Aaw the little Pug 😟
Is that auction in a barn? How hard is it to jet was the crap off the floor?
Think its an old warehouse, would be nice if they cleaned it up a bit but I'm not sure how many viewings they get to be fair.
Bca I bid 650 cars per week and 2/3 do bounce in email box 100/150 hammer bids. Some 6 months MOT ok. Doesn’t make me very happy. But am building my account back up bca. New account. Some cheap 300/400 cars that book low teens 1200/1400.
Nice, I'm also sortimg out a Manheim account as we have one not far from here
@@cardealersdiary Always liked Manheim, I now only bid online, tales up 90 bloody mins a day , do miss the physical but most my bids under 50% cap clean, hall bids gonna be back closer trade physical
Great video has to be the cactus
Cheers Gary
That Skoda has an omen on the reg. UBF you’ve been framed 😮😮😮
🤣🤣🤣 Well spotted
Stevie Scout is a great wee car Skodas are Bulletproof as you know with the Yeti cactus nice looking car
Love a Skoda mate and the Cactus will be a good buy i think
Mikey here, from Watford London Citron cactus 100% , get a good yield, for little work Good luck
Hi Mikey, thanks for your comment. I'd love to win the Cactus 🤞 Still got a soft spot for that Fabia though 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely, the fabia or cactus, preferably the cactus, has nice low milage and looks a tidy car to good luck
Hi Steve just found your channel, for the conditions you painted the bumpers in with no booth and in what is probably a draughty workshop they came out really nice. If you want a good clear that will hold it's gloss then for the price I would look at the Upol Maximum HS 2:1 and if you add around 8% thinners it will flow out and look mint👌👍
Thanks John, I'll see if my supplier has that clear if not I'll order some online and give it a go. Thanks for the advice mate 👍
Fantastic job! That's going to sell fast! 👍
Lets hope so
Bought one of those tools last Christmas, love it and very effective, also got the soldering iron version with plastic filler rods and mesh.
Ive used it loads since i got it, very handy tool
Looks mega 👍
Thanks dude
i10 = retail gold - they seem to command all the money and more. The Mrs fancies one but refuses to sell a kidney to finance her purchase lol
They do hold value, plenty cheaper kicking about if your happy to put a little work into it.
Brilliant work Steve 👍🚗 any news on the ankle bitter Charlie 🌞
Thanks mate, he's still not fully committed to anything 😂 typical teenager
Great job looks amazing
Thanks Gary
Looks so much better than it did. Well done 👏
Cheers Chris
Absolutely Awesome Stevie
