- I made a huge mistake buying this car, and had to deal with the consequences. But after using Marketplace Monitor to find a great deal, I went to pick it up before anyone else had the chance to grab this cheap, underpriced car!

So you're not reading any codes not even trying to turn the engine over by hand just slappin on a new starter and going for it... Smart man!
Thanks man! I knew I found my talent!
starter motors don't throw codes... and as said, he wouldve bump started to see if it ran first of all
@@jjmmjj9999 There are at least 2ways to determine if a starter is bad using a scanner. It's not always about fault codes. Easier (on the wallet) than just throwing money at an unkown problem.
@@nsz2302 curious to know how you're checking a starter with a scanner....
And again, he said he *would've* bump started it any other time
@@jjmmjj9999 Using any bidirectional scanner u can do actuation tests while looking at live data to see if the starter and its relay/relays are commanded on. Anyhow buying a nonstarting 2.2skyactive diesel thinking it only needs a starter was a bit optimistic.
if someone selling the car says something is an easy or cheap fix then why haven't they fixed it ?, that's why I don't buy cars off Marketplace car flippers, selling for a friend or a relative, I just look at cars people have actually owned
Very good advice, I usually follow this but with doing UA-cam I feel more pressure to pick something up quickly which can lead bad decisions! Lessons learned though!
It was great talking with you Josh, and awesome video! The seller of the first car definitely knew what was going on smh. Looking forward to how the rest of the second flip goes!
@@FlippingUniversity and you man really enjoyed it! For sure I was stupid to take it though but felt desperate to buy the next car!
Karma Is a bitch
We have a brain so use it
@@don8968 someone having a bad day?
finally a video of bolts snapping and rust, here in Canada that is so normal ahaha loving the content!
Haha everything that could make it harder will happen 😂 cheers man! Can’t believe the video made it to Canada!
If you want an easier time removing seized bolts give extractor sockets a go they're a good alternative to pulling out the torch and using heat.
It's crazy how cheap vehicle's are in the uk compared to the us but the 100 bill is worth only 11 bucks compared to what it was in 1972
@@kennithlibby I guess you get used to it but there is a lot of cheap cars around
Great video mate, really enjoyed watching.
With seized bolts, try applying heat to them first, it usually breaks the corrosion bond and should be able to remove them easier. It’s a trick I’ve used in plumbing for years.
Keep up the good work 👌🏼
@@cumulus10 cheers man I really appreciate it! Not too happy with how this one came out but must try harder with the next one! Thanks for the advice man I’ll have to invest in a torch for sure!
@@Josh.Sanderson it was entertaining mate that’s all that matters. You’ll definitely improve as you go because you’ve got passion to do better
@@cumulus10 thanks mate glad you found it entertaining! Hopefully the next one will be even better 💪🚗🛵
Good vid mate, felt gutted for you. Ive got all the diagnostics under the sun for any make and model. If you need anything, or even a scan. Let me know. Cheers
Cheers mate really appreciate the offer so sound of you bro!
If you only googled 2014 Mazda 6 diesel problems.
There is tons and tons and tons of discussion about all of them blowing up.
Yeah, if the seller was slightly honest about the issue I would have done but I was convinced the engine was fine. My own fault you live and learn!
Glad to see you posting again Josh 👍🏻
@@Tongue_Twister24 cheers man! Pulling my finger out my arse and getting it done haha
Yup, been there, I have a 65 plate Mazda 6 sitting on my drive non running, now I'm driving a 22 year old 1.2 Clio.
Great video lad, how have you been bro 😎 it’s been awhile since you posted I was wondering if you had stopped doing UA-cam completely. Keep to have you back ❤
Cheers bro! All good just so busy but trying to find time to get the vids out, filmed a few now just every project seems to take months haha appreciate the love brotha ❤️
That Mazda looked quite rusty underneath for 'just 10 years old'. But I guess that's a Mazda-thing... Good you took the loss and went on!
Once the seller hides some issue information about the car from you, then yes he scammed you
buy a tall van, get an RSJ welded / bolted in that will slice out the back, then with a chain block or pull lift, you can take all these lumps out.
With rusty bolts its good to go in and out bit by bit whilst spraying it. Ive removed loads of nasty bolts this way.
@@Getbent-e6t sometimes we gotta learn the hard way 😅😭
@Josh.Sanderson yeah I deffo learnt the hard way plenty of times. Years ago I didn't have a clue and taught myself with alot of hard fails lol. Enjoyed the clip
Hope you can get back to regular videos soon. I think you will do well if you get on top of the UA-cam algorithm. 👍
@@devilsoundwave375 cheers man, hoping to get loads out over the next few weeks! Fingers crossed this one does well
I admire the way you laugh where others would cry - great entertainment
Haha thanks man gotta laugh to not cry!
Rule number one: If a car doesn't run, assume it needs a new engine, regardless of what you are told.
I am genuinely amazed this channel doesn't have more subscribers, top quality content!
Haha one day need to make better vids first! Thanks for the comment!
Only buy the G not the D. Skyactive that is. The diesel just too much hard work. The G is great news
I feel your pain. I bought a car from facebook and was never told it was cat s or that the head gasket had gone. After spending hours and loads of money on it i just kept finding more and more issues. But hopefully i have sorted all the issues as it was a car i have been after for years
Man it’s gutting I’ve got some videos coming where I was never told about a cat n. What car is it mate hopefully you’ve sorted it now 💪
@@Josh.Sanderson Its a 2012 vauxhall insignia. I have litterally changed everything gasket wise on the engine and i finished putting it back together an hour ago and im still getting smoke coming from oil dipstick and oil intake and losing coolant with tank cap on. i have litterally spent about £800 over the past few months on parts for it. It just wiped me out
@@Crazy-Caveman-qh2dz Did you check the head for warping and cracks?
@@drrick8839 yeah found out the piston rings need replacing so now going to cut my losses and scrap it.
first i have seen from you, interesting content. i liked the vibe of mates having a laugh whilst working in the evening. can't take my eyes off the smoke on the thumbnail tho
Thanks man really appreciate you watching and taking the time comment, definitely not my best video but it was fun! Gotta compete with all these other thumbnails nowadays
It happens brother sometimes you win sometimes you lose. If it was easy everyone would do it . Keep at it!
For sure man! Appreciate the kind words!
I have a mazda 6 same car . Common issue is sump pick up gets blocked and stops oil to the engine . Its caused by faulty injectior washers and watering the oil down with diesel on short journeys
Yeah did my research after I bought the car lol not sure if it was a recall?
@Josh.Sanderson no recall sadly. I've been lucky with mine changed oil with mazda from new and now I change oil every 5000 miles cheaper then a new engine or rebuild
Looking like this could be one of your biggest projects yet! Looking forward to part 2. Can I ask what you do about insurance? Do you take out a week/month long policy for the new projects you buy?
For sure man! So exciting to do more difficult jobs. I usually add it to my daily insurance policy as a temporary car for a few weeks!
Made a good title tho 🤣 sick vid bro
5:13 Nice tee as well 😉
Innit man haha, Going to have to start sending me garms for all this promo dawg 😂🤣
Feels like this was filmed in the winter time
Wait until you see the next video haha
Some water on there pal! Hope it all goes ok, nice to see you back!
Thanks man feels great to have another video out that people seem to be enjoying! Hopefully it was just dumping the coolant into the cylinders because the head is warped!
This isn’t scam this is what you trust someone else and don’t know anything about car scanning to get the core of the problem to fix.
Could be a easy fix ,don't have time to fix ,My mate says ,it's worth bla bla when fixed .People are scum when selling cars don't trust anybody
Yeah I don’t know how people live with themselves doing it so frustrating but I definitely should’ve looked harder!
You have the same luck as I do. Bought a Mini needing a gearbox. Turned out it also needed a headgasket, shock, waterpump and exhaust...💸
@@lukas0846 oooof that’s a f&&ker man end up being a good car though?
@@Josh.Sanderson Yea like new but next to no profit after working on it for dozens of hours
Wow Josh that looks tough on the Mazda and mental on the Corsa, all those bolts just to remove the head, didn't realise they had a timing chain either. Keep up the good work buddy, I know how hard it is to work on the cars and film them at the same as I am trying to launch my own project and its taking a lot longer than I imagined.
Thanks for the comment man, it definitley makes it about 3x longer when trying to film everything I’m glad someone appreciates it haha. Keep grinding and you’ll get there man just try to improve one thing with each time you go
Mazda doesn’t want you to fix their cars at least easily and cheaply.
Warped head mate 99% of the time this is what it is on these engines
They’re definitely known for it!
I've just bought a mint low mileage Corsa, 60k miles, not a mark on it, full rebuild of the suspension a month ago, ton of new parts. The Corsa is the 1.4T Black and it was a PX at a local garage. I'll make £2k on it but I'm gonna run it for a few months first!!
@@Holycurative9610 nice one man that’s great profit!
great video Josh keep up the good work, Great editing.
Cheers Alun! Glad you enjoyed!
Loads of content here great job mate
Cheers man! Was worried the Mazda on its own would be a flop so glad the Corsa section is being well received!
It's actually a first I think seeing 2 cars in one episode. Well done @@Josh.Sanderson
Those 1.4 “ecotec” engines are notorious for popping head gaskets. Here in the US they are stuffed into the Chevy Cruze and Buick Encore. Awful engines that were designed by Daewoo and sold to Chevrolet in the US and Opel in Europe.
@@adamsgarage5119 1.2 this one but same story!
There’s plenty of bad people out there… hope you’re onto a winner with this project though 👍
Frustrating but it happens! Profit incoming!
That’s where experience is needed that is the reason Mazdas are cheap especially diesels
Wow, can’t believe how rust rotten the suspension is. I was thinking of importing a car from the uk to Australia but a friend called me off it on the basis of how badly uk owned cars rust underneath. Now I see why!
Haha yeah it would be a much better idea to import one here from aus! Although they’re not all this bad, it doesn’t snow all that often so no grit. I think it’s mainly because we have so much coastline they all get battered by sea spray and mist. I’ve always thought about importing cars there because they seem so expensive
Yeah, cars are really expensive here. Premium European cars in particular are much more affordable in the uk.... I really admire how you get stuck in to any problem you are confronted with. Given your awesome mechanical skills you could definitely make a living here flipping cars. 👍
This is classic trap. You are young , will learn 😂. Good luck
Have you ever done cars from auctions
Wow your phone have an amazing screen 😄
iPhone 6 baby
There is to many dishonest people selling cars so just don't trust them and do your own checks and if all OK then hand over your cash if not walk away..as that's what I do and I've never been so called scammed as yr take a gamble and a risk so u win some ur loss sum.. and personally won't buy a mazda full stop. Good luck
Yeah you definitely gotta be on the ball when looking at a private car for sale!
145,000 miles? I wouldn't dream of going near a car with anywhere near those miles 🙄
My most reliable cars have had more miles! Some diesels just go forever, not these ones though haha
just sold a BMW 95' 325i w 300k miles for 3400$ made profit 2500$ and a 04 BMW 330ci w/245k miles and made 500$ off that
@@startingtech3900 Amazing work, good job 👏
A good ass video josh! I hope you can post more, i really enjoy these videos and i cant wait to do something like this in the future. Ill surely come back for more
Ayyyy thank you mate! Hopefully you enjoy the upcoming videos! Thanks for commenting ❤️
Should have just swapped the engine in the Mazda
I dont get it. You're obviously not affraid of the spanners, why not do a few mechanical checks (pre-purchase) !!! Puzzling.
Always a big risk when buying used cars online unfortunately you win some you loose some it’s part of the game 😁
@@dexietyy7922 for sure! Onto better projects!
They suffer from oil starvation oil feed gets blocked from sump
This is caused by the copper injector seals which are prone to fail of pre 2019 models.
This causes diesel to leak into the oil. If left unattended, the diesel solidifies on the oil pickup gauze at the sump, leading to oil starvation.
(blown turbos, engine failure etc)
Most issues can be solved by replacing the original injector washers with upgraded steel ones from Mazda.
I did this as a precaution on my 2016 model and engine is still like new after 3.5 years of ownership.
Also, change oil every 5k miles or less. Preventative maintenance is the trick with these engines.
Great video, looks like a nightmare 😆
Never buy a Vauxhall 😂
The oil pickup gets blocked. Leading to oil starvation..
Injector copper seals leak causing the the oil to go thicker
1st thing you do THE 1ST THING is put in gear and rock it back and forth …if t won’t it’s seized yeh
Hind site is a b&£& I get too excited when I go to look at cars haha
Love these vidoes. Keep them coming boi
Cheers man!
Brilliant and educational vid , love this guy
Thanks man really glad you enjoyed!
Unfortunately you gotta check these things. You know for next time at least!
Every days a learning day!
@@Josh.Sanderson Sure is. I did it myself last year, now I'm a paranoid obsessive for checking things
@@Josh.Sandersonthe difference was structural issues on my real car😢garage said they couldn't show me underside on a lift cos it was a "safety issue" to have me in the garage, and as the top comment said, I was "had"😂
@@woodant1981 haha I’ve had that before on a pickup truck, worst car I ever owned had it for about 2 hours
After working on a 2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.3cdti countless of times at this point, I can fairly say I'll never be buying one ever again 😂
Hahaha they’re not the most robust cars or engines that’s for sure
What did you expect with marketplace, it's full of scammers
Another banger ❗️🎉💰 can’t wait for the next one!!
Haha cheers man I appreciate it! With comments like this the dream of going full time with this stays alive!
These engines are known as ticking time bomb. A 5 min google would have saved you a lot of hassle
I think the word SCAM get used a bit much on UA-cam
You want to stay away from corsa they are good sellers but warranty work will kill any profits
What do you mean warranty work
Warranty work won’t apply to a flipper. Only a proper dealer.
every time i skipped through the video to see content there was another ad for a product lol. ridiculous
@@mikenewbold1699 twice lol
Can you not return the car with 30 days buyers rights?
Probably could’ve done but not worth the hassle going to small claims court etc
Roll the dice?
heating bolts or penetrating fluid anyone? any takers?
😂😂😂😭😭😭
That engine and access to components looks horrific.
Yeah they both are horrific haha
Tbf these cars are pretty unreliable and notoriously bad. Quick search of the net would have told you that bro.
wow giving out some real saauce with the marketplace monitor! will help me with my business alot that
What business is it man!?
@@Josh.Sanderson i flip stuff from auctions and marketplace etc so this will help me scope out products i know sell well! Buy low sell high you know the rules 😆💪
@@jordandoesmx9862ah nice man best of luck making money!!!🎉
Well £850 ain't so bad for a decent diy er like you just head gasket gone I presume new one chain and tensioner boom decent car well done
@@davethevicar88 on the Mazda?
@@Josh.Sanderson yer man
@@davethevicar88 head gasket doesn’t seize an engine, it most likely had oil starvation, rank the crank dry and seized a main bearing
Best one yet! What a guyyyy ❤
Legenddddd cheeeers g
Should never buy a car which is not running and never listen to wat people tell you as the will say anything just to sell it leave flipping cars to people who have the unit with all the tools and the experience to fix them I gave up years ago as cars are not built to last like older cars and didn't want the hassle any more I just work on my own cars but I have older cars nothing later then 2005 and mine only go to a garage for mot good luck (As your going to need it)
I’ve bought a lot of cars that don’t run and made good profit on them, it’s a risk you win some but losses come with the whole experience.
I got scammed trying to make a quick buck. You should play the stockmarket.
Makes me laugh when people say car flipping is quick or easy. I’d have a video out every week if it was either of those things
You didnt get scammed, you tried to make a quick buck and you were had. You make it sound like someone has done something bad, you were the one trying to flip a car and make a profit at someone's expense, either the seller or the buyer. Have absolutely zero sympathy for you
someone's expense? do regular people buy broken cars and expect them to work?
I mean it is illegal to know about an issue with a car when selling it and not mention it or cover it up on purpose, as he told me it stopped working when at the garage so I’m sure they knew what happened and told him, it’s completely my fault for buying it they’re all a risk but I don’t know how it’s at someone’s else’s expense? I suppose you say the same about all used car dealerships? But thanks for you input
@@Josh.Sanderson did you not buy the car privately? It's not illegal at all, sold as is. Buyer beware
God bless you, these guys makes tons of money ripping people off
@@PremierLuzuryLifestyleSo you just expect to pay less for a car, and be totally okay with the issues it has rather than buy for a little more from someone who put work into repairing it and cleaning it completely to give the buyer piece of mind they’re buying a good car that’s been looked over and fixed? Thats just ridiculous if you ask me
Its all part of the car game😢
That’s it man for sure, always learning new lessons
I enjoy your vids and i can talk cars all day 😎
Thanks man appreciate you watching! Probably know more than me then!
Dude, invest in some penetrating oil!
The minute i see easy cheap repair by a seller or just needs 200 spent etc Run for rhe hills
Definitely sensible
@@Josh.Sanderson Great channel good luck with growing it
great vid just subbed 👍
Ay thanks for the sub man!
If someone says its a easy fix it never is because guess what?? If it was easy they would of done it 👍
Yep, I tried my luck and it went wrong but I definitely agree with you!
Skyactive is a scam from the factory 😅
Can’t say I disagree 😂
Well at least you learnt not to buy a cheap car - it is cheap for a reason!
Haha that’s what this whole channel is about!
Making bad car decisions do you don’t have to haha
Maybe the seller got the car for free and flipped it to you😂
Hahaha I’d be really jealous!
You are silly boy
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Cheee 👊👊
@@willace333 leg end
Pretty silly really, a quick shove in 6th would have told you the same..
Yeah I’m an idiot
@@Josh.Sanderson Poor lad, oh well at least you got most of the money back.
Need moar vids mate
They’re coming! I promise haha
Would never buy a car off this guy, he’s in way over his head with these repairs… you should have some respect for you neighbours too as nobody wants to see all that going on the driveway 24/7
Thanks for your input but I’m sure I’ll be alright, saving for a unit for exactly that reason. Gotta start somewhere!
if they want privacy buy a house with acreage its during normal
hours piss off wankka
Are youna qualified mechanic ? And these cars are notorious for needing engine replacing.
Im not im self taught, learn so much with every car I buy
They are one of the worst cars on the planet with one of the worst diesel engines ever there’s thousands of them Mazda 2 L diesels broken down. They snapped the timing chains and the engines just seize up for fun
