Loving the content you guys produce. The weekly uploads are great, it’s almost like we are going through the week with you the way it’s formatted. A lot of it looks very unscripted which is a rarity these days.
@ nah honestly it works well the way it is. Other car dealer / reviewer UA-camrs content gets a bit monotonous after a while with the same format. Plus the vehicles you buy and sell appeals to a large percentage of the population.
Good morning everyone hope you are all well? Iv just got back from a morning jog and had quick shower all before 6am 🕕 I’m feeling like a million pounds. Now it’s time to get into one of my favourite car flipping channels. Good news 🗞️ Iv bought a car or 2 whop whop 🎉.
Gentlemen , changing key fobs are fairly easy but often you need to use parts from original key , I just don’t mean the blade and the obvious chip , you will find eBay is half the price of Amazon and often same sellers , you may need to buy the special punch to knock out the pin that holds the blade , a lot of the sellers have a link to a video showing you exactly what to do and what to keep from original fob , I’ve changed plenty and soon find out the easy way , good luck , I appreciate you may need the fob in a hurry and Amazon delivery maybe quicker but most sellers send by pigeons as so little profit in a fob , all the best Michael
Love the vids James + Joe , keep them coming, I look forward to them weekly , yours and the lads at Salvage rebuilds are my top two car channels I watch , all genuine lads that show us the daily working in the car trade . Ian from Dublin .
If the Polo a 148 ACT one overtook me other day. Yikes it was quick. Point the girl who thought Hyundai and Kia too big towards the Yaris. Hard to believe they’re only 12 ft 6 long. And amazingly reliable.
Hi Guys, love your videos. Me and my best mate of 30 years are starting out ourselves so it is great to follow your journey. We are currently really struggling to find a premises that accepts Motor Trade. It was interesting to see that you didn't like that unit, is your aim not to have most of your stock indoors? We will continue to follow your journey. If you ever feel like connecting to share stories along the way, please get in touch.
Thanks. No we don’t want everything inside. There’s not a huge advantage to it if I’m honest and it was expensive. The unit we’ve got at the moment works for us but the next step, if it ever comes, needs to be bigger and more suitable for everything we want it to do. Workshop, valeting, and obviously sales
I’d love to go back twenty years and tell my younger self that one day, I will enjoy watching a couple of goofballs selling cars on Friday nights…😂 (edit: make that reasonably priced used cars up to the value of £7000).
Just curious how much did the Audi a1 sell for? I have an Audi a1 63 reg 22k miles s line paid £8200 got it up for sale for 10.5k atm should do 10k all day long. Although lower miles makes it lot money for the car
Nice one, gents. I see it's nearly a year since you posted your first video.😱 Have you considered doing an AI-generated summary of how the year has gone? What is the most sold car brand, or which car had the highest warranty claim? Although, it may just tell you, you're spending far too much at Greggs and Starbucks. 🍩
Used to a decent weekly watch but unfortunately since moving to the unit its become one big product placement. Such a shame James. The AI Dealship project and rarely uses AI. Winner of the Auto Trader Inovation Award, can someone tell me where the inovation is? The guy from Auto trader said "for use of our stats" you use them the same as any other car dealer, Autotrader If you read this comment, The winner of 2025 award should go to "Watts on court" the family car guy, he uses AI in nearly every episode and even does AI Episodes, the only down side is he only has a few thousand subs so your brand wont be seen by as many. Sorry to be negative James but im just being honest. regards wayne
Appreciate the comment. We’ve used a lot of AI throughout the business and still do. But it gets boring if we keep saying the same things over and over again. We’ve also learned that actually it can’t do as much as we want it too. However, there’s several things coming on the AI front which are being implemented in our website and phone system and more but it doesn’t all happen at once. There’s also a business to keep ticking over and customers to keep happy. It all takes time. This journey is not over yet. We’re just showing the realities of running a small used car business. AI is not the solution to all problems and many of things I want it to do it simply can’t… yet. But that was part of the reason for starting this project. Work out what can work and what can’t. Cheers for the watched up until now all the same
@@iancleary-n7t ineed ive been asking Alexa to hover my house for year but still she shys im sorry i dont know how to do that lol serously though my point was more the amount of product and bring placements. I guess it makes a change from scoring vehicles or vertical cars or that TOP lad that is DOM lol
@@chrisaris8756 We haven’t advertised it yet so can’t really blame that. It’s still being deep cleaned and driven as much as we can to make sure it’s free of faults. Sadly it’s one of those cars that’ll take time to prep. But thanks for your concern 😀
Very enjoyable, many thanks. AJ
Glad you enjoyed it
Please keep the videos going james. We all have fish & chips on a Friday and look forward to watching you both.
We’ll try our best! Fish and chips sound like a top idea
Enjoyed guys, thanks

Great video chaps from not so sunny Pompey🌞
Thanks. Have we been living in a cloud for the last week?
@@CarDealerMagazinewell actually I haven’t, as was, and am watching from a beach in Tenerife 🌞

Did you miss the boys explaining the lack of parking spaces outside?
@andypalin3287 No, but why do you need extra parking outside if you have enough space inside?
Great watch guys! 😜
Thanks Andy
That MX-5 😮 you should have invoiced the seller for wasting your time if those defects weren’t declared. Shocking.
Was rather frustrating… but you see my problem now. It’s not easy buying cars through these sites. I’ve walked away from a few
Also, cancelling a sale on one platform and then listing it on another. It costs nothing to list these cars, that’s the problem.
I’d love to go back twenty years and tell my younger self that one day, I will enjoy watching a couple of goofballs selling cars on Friday nights…😂 (edit: make that reasonably priced used cars up to the value of £7000).

great video lads. becareful with that e scooter as theyre illegal to use on public roads or pavements, you can points if caught by the police.
I wonder if they’ll be waiting with a speed gun 😂
@@CarDealerMagazine probably......lol
Your mate looks like Chucky looking over your shoulder.lol
What product is Joe using please to give it a shine 😊
@@davidwaite2157 which one/car? I’ll try and work it out for you

Good idea. We’ll work something out on that. We’ll have a think about it over a Greggs sausage roll
Hi James do you not user enterreg to buy stock?
Nope. Not heard of that?
@ have a look mate, It’s not as big as carwow or motorway but has its benefits.
@@CarDealerMagazinedon’t use enterreg is terrible
Careful on the scooter a friend of mine's son got 3 points deferred on his licence then he gets one and he`s only 15..
Eeek 😬

If only Ai could wash + hoover the cars and go collect them from sellers you would be sorted 😂

He has just drove 4hours car cannt be that bad
Given the way you guys were slagging off that Evoque that you were trying to sell, I’m not surprised you’re struggling for custom.
