- IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE... BUY IT! (or did we just get scammed?)
It's gotta be dodgy when it's this cheap right? We found this car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The asking price is less than half any other comparable car. So of course we immediately went out to buy it. But, as the old saying goes: if it's too good to be true... BUY IT before someone else does!

23:54 god I'm hungry right now. Breakkie kebabs all round.
Ever done a 1uz engine swap for a 1985 celica ? Let me know as I’ve got one and would love to see it done on your channel
My buddy got a Cheryl's box, so I grabbed a signed copy of the book for his Christmas. That'll be one happy chap. Greetings from Boston, MA - Aaron (5.3 LS turbo 2001 Mustang) and Adam (2.3-16 Mercedes 190E)
TURBO!!!!!
My civic poster came damaged put a ding on yours so it matches 🤣
“ if it’s too good to be true , buy it”. That is my new motto 🤣🤣
In my experience too good to be true means it’ll break down on you 3 times requiring a tow within the span of two months. My skills at assessing the condition of a car are… way worse than I’d hoped.
Same lol 😝
Bought my current car with same principle and it works 😁
uh oh
Use the same moto for cryptos lol
I think Food Runs with MCM needs to be an entire series.
Mighty Food Runs! Would totally subscribe lol
They should do a bring a fan for kababs that would be cool.
As an American, I assumed a “kebab” was a stick with meat and vegetables on it. Looks like a Greek Gyro to me.
I would watch every episode :D they could even do it on MCM2 next to the Unicorn circuit and such!
@@dbeasleyphx I think they idea is they grill the meat and veggies on the stick, then they put it in flatbread for eating, so we Americans only got the first half of the equation on kebabs.
Ahaha been waiting for this! That was me in the golf 😂 cheers again you legends 🤟🏼
I love the pay it forward and shoutout to the kebab shop, the hearts of these guys and being ambassadors to a mental health organisation really shows the intentions of 2 boys from Sydney with humble beginnings. Much love to you guys and everyone involved with such an amazing channel and brand.
This had a great unscripted vibe. Natural conversation between two good friends that know each other so well. Fun road trip.
I need a t shirt with " I don't pay asking price for shit" lol
Except it always seems he pays full price sight unseen in the night...
Honestly, for that price, gut it and turn it into a full on track car with all the mods, aero, carbon fiber panel replacements etc. You should be able to at least get your money back on it (cost of mods included) if you turn it into a track monster, even if it is unregistered. Could make for an awesome series, would watch for sure.
Proud owner of your old Lotus here! Had no idea you sold your old BRZ, guess this was filmed quite a while ago, were you able to register this one?
Hows the car? They did a lot of work on it...
@@michaelrajkumar9538 its a beast and sounds amazing, had a picture of one on my mirror for so long, dream ticked off!

Build a full on race car.
And bring back Mechanical Stig and Turbo Yoda!

I know exactly how he feels... 3 bikes and 2 cars need work at my place. Big oof.
i know something else that will make you breath heavy
@@JorgeMArtinez-gc3cu Cardio?
You've got to love these guys. So genuine. You guys deserve all the success you have achieved
The banter in the car is just the best! Reminds me of me and my friends on the way to go do something stupid...and looking forward to it!
That was a craig ferguson worthy awkward pause after talking about getting kicked in the balls by a bull.... glad I didn't skip the drive to the dealership.. best 4x4/animal husbandry channel on youtube...
smell my finger?
Pretty sure he said emu and not bull
Agreed. My reaction was similar to Marty's.
"the sister had some panel damage" jesus christ mate, i laughed!
City miles
"Her sister's had some panel damage" That cracked me up
Boys! I’ve been following you boys for years but I’ve got to say that format was so fresh and exciting all over again! Whatever you’re having for breakfast, I want some! Peace and love from the U.K. dudes 👍🇬🇧
Really really really enjoyed the last 4 minutes especially. It's fun to see you guys just kicking it and adventuring
Yup same here!! Haha
The last 4 minutes I didn't watch lmao here on my second visit
3:35 - Marty mentioning an emu farm is the most Aussie thing in the world.
A mate of mine won 10k from Zoo magazine back in the day coz he said he'd use the money to make an Emu Polo farm. Spent it all on patying instead.... i guess the moral of the story is to never give an 18yr old 10k. or that us aussie sure love us some emus....
When you can live by the philosophy "if it's too good to good to be true, buy it." You're living a good life.
Short answer is this: You get what you pay for.
Longer story is that you just bought "content". This thing could in fact be a whole season deal, with road trips and such to get it all handled. For a UA-cam channel such as yours, this car is a blessing and the story will surely make for compelling watching. Thanks guys!
You know you’ve become worldwide when there’s knock off merch on amazon
@Dr. Mantis Toboggan hahaha
Marty's face during the "balls exploded" chat in the car !!😵💫🤯🤢😱🥴
I really enjoy these types of episodes. Wish I could meet yall in person. Love how down to earth yall are and you seem like the type of guys I'd hang out with. Keep up the awesome work.
Ive been watching you two for years and it is always a pleasure to watch.🤙
This caught my eye haven’t seen this channel in years thought you guys stopped making videos. Some of the first car content I watched on UA-cam was you guys and you influenced me so much. Thanks boys keep it up
To be fair on the front bumper, even cars that haven't been smashed do that. The good news is that like everything else with them, there are a range of OEM replacement clips, to aftermarket metal clamps, to quick release tabs you can get to fix it.
these days it seems that barely bumping the nose can pop those seams out. so flimsy a lot of the time.
@@ghomerhust With good reason. They’re no longer structurally there to improve crash safety. So a bump will push them out of alignment and save your wings etc. The legit crash structure is beyond the bumper. I’m my old bmw if I bump the front it would most likely shunt everything else out of alignment.
It's crazy how big you have become. So big, someone is selling bootleg MCM merch on Amazon. (the lanyard plug reminded me I saw it last week)
@@gabbyg917 I guess its Gabby g who sells bootleg MCM merchandise 😂
Why though MCM has good prices and shipping is dirt cheap. To Ireland it was 7euro compared to Cleetus McFarland Charing 30 from the US and Australia is sooooooo much further away
I saw the chopped sticker on Ali
@@Noxidsignorantia From what I can tell US shipping companies charge a bomb for international packages, all sorts of people I trust haven't been able to find decent prices.
Man they had me so hyped when I saw the rx7, then I got disappointed as soon as I heard them say "rod knock" 😢
I was hoping it was the fc too, clickbait got me...
I love these random day trips with you fellas.
Based on Martin's explanation of the dealer putting the car in his own name and then selling it to Martin that tells me he's trying to evade taxes or government supervision so that he can clear more money for himself. Shady stuff LOL
"Allegedly" A lot of mechanics here in the UK will ask if you're paying by cash or card.
Cash will be 20% cheaper because they won't put it in the books, and you won't have to pay the VAT on it (tax)
Yup, it's called floating the title here in the US. Double bonus for the dealer, when they sell it to themselves, they can put whatever price they want and write it off as a loss.
Thats exactly what he is doing - former ato officer
I assume also because it's a personal sale not a dealer sale, the dealer isn't on the hook for any statutory warranty. Here in SA all cars bought from a dealer come with 3 month warranty, but if you buy it from guy who works there and not the dealership I'd imagine there's no warranty.
Thanks friends. I knew I wasn't to crazy 🤣
I've had my 86 for three years now, daily drive it and still love it as much as when I bought it. Such fun cars.
What year you got
And probably worth as much still too
Nice one, I paid £5,5k for my damaged GT86, costed me about £8,5k in total to bring it back on roads. Love these cars. Soo much fun for so little.. well done MCM 🤞🏻
This new direction, or lack of direction, or rethink of how you present is really great, it was great before but this is excellent. Glad you dudes seem to be in a good spot
Heck ya, another episode!
2:48 The incredulity in Marty's voice priceless
Cars, banter, bromance and a lot of wholesomeness. What more could you ask from a UA-cam channel?! Your channel just keeps getting better guys❤
LOVE the vlog format boys, @20:51 was AMAZING mate
Hey guys I drive a 7 car carrier Melbourne to Brisbane and back weekly. If you need any car moved let me know. Been watching since martys mums driveway and would love the chance to meet and help out.
I love that you get as excited about buying a car as I do. I'm only part way into the vid, but I know you're buying it, so good luck with the buy
You'll be right guys, our drive was a 2-year-old 2011 interstate insurance write-off with 6,500kM on it, for 1/3 replacement cost & we still love it.
There was a bit of expense with registering it & stamp duty but nothing off-putting.
Mind you, that was 10 years ago & in South Australia, but I'm pumped for you guys. 👍
Liking the new approach recently really cool to see you guys just chilling together I think that part is just as dope as getting the car, always got a genuine vibe from you guys in general but it's really cool just to see a part of the journey where it's just you guys being you keep it up and keep it real you guys have some real character when you get together and it's why I also like the unicorn circuit 🤘🤙✌️
Aww that’s cute! Marty said he would trade Moog and then admitted to setting up cams for Animal Husbandry!
These cars are so much fun!! Looking forward to seeing the build 🤙🏼
Well, there will be absolutely no use for me watching how registering this car in Australia works. Would definitely watch it. 😂
I've been considering moving there long term. Just the drivers license rules/regs alone got a bit confusing. 😂 still doing research though, and things may change by the time I'm ready to move.
I basically just needs an engineer's certificate but there will be limitations on insurance.
You should do a series on how to repair a repairable written off car, as more often than not for some people that want a cool car have to go for a write off. As once repaired they can be really cheap and sometimes cost half than an non written off example
That’s dirt cheap for a BRZ. My question is: How is that black Holden Astra priced at 4990? In the UK, a mint, low mileage one would fetch maybe £1000! Either way, looking forward to the project.
The Aus car market is messed up. That's the short of it haha
Then it costs 2000 quid to insure.
In Australia, to register and insure (compolsary third party) that car would be $400 dollarydoos.
Also 4990aud is like £2700
@@TheosEpicVideos it definitely wouldn't be 2000 quid to insure in the UK for a driver with afew years no claims
Shit I thought I was the only one to notice this! 😂
Marty's new motto: "It's going to be in me."
needed this video today, so glad its uploaded, i love it!
That feeling when you’re having a shit week and you finally have time to open UA-cam to find a new mcm video. So wonderful thanks guys.
Love Marty’s expressions when Moog is talking about ball exploding. Funny enough, my facial expressions were about the same
There was an old astra in the back for 5k! They're about 500 pounds in the UK 😂
AUD is about double GBP, but I still wouldn't pay £2500 for an astra haha!
Cars aren't cheap here. Taxes taxes taxes
@@DCactivity exactly haha
Import costs, taxes and cars last forever here because they don't rust so they hold their value longer. My car is 30 years old so it has no rust prevention galvanising done to it in the factory...has no rust on it at all. Actually it's the plastics and rubber that is starting to deteriorate from uv, heat and age as well as the clear coat.
But the much more modern Fiesta isn’t much more!
God damn you lads are smashing out some absolute banger content these days. Quality video.
This is the best! Love this type of video, so good!
dudes! I really love your conversations, like the one with the ex gilfriend analogy, hahaha!
Damn I should have stuck to my asking price haha. Great video guys 👍
I really love seeing some of the day to day out of the shop stuff, just feels like hanging out
I'm really just here for your guys conversation, they're top notch XD
For a split second I thought - OMG they’ve gone Euro with a Citroen C4 and are going to turn it into a robot like the adverts…another time lads
C4 shares a platform with the RCZ-R. That would be one hell of a sleeper!
For a brief moment I was fooled, then I remembered Moog said he owned one and never said he sold it, and it though it can't be that
Will there ever be any love for french cars on this channel? I like to fantasise there will be
I was secretly hoping Moog was going to buy another ultra silly super cheeze 🧀 show car, only because those seem to inspire the best songs... 🤣 🐐🐐🐐
What a nice episode! Thank you guys.
Love you guys man been watchin since the driveway
22:33
Pov: you are drunk in some city in the UK at 3am in the morning
Marty's face when he's hearing about balls being exploded/destroyed is the same face he makes when he's afraid Rodney is going to make a return.
Ya feel it in your TOES. *shudder*
Love it how you boys are local and visit places in the area I grew up in, Kings Corner kebabs was a must after a trip to the Kings Head across the road 😁😁
I can't wait for the next trip you guys do! Love the Japan videos!
I've driven passed that dealership so many times and always thought they looked super dodgy. The food truck just down the road from it is pretty good though.
I got 2 questions
1. Was this video recorded "long" time ago? Wasn't the A3 sold to get the WRX?
2. Was Marty at the beginning taping with cloth hockey tape?
Hockey tape in Australia is very expensive. We don't use it like Canadians lol
built in november '15, marty said it was five years old
@@StanleyKubick1 11'15 would be MY16, they stop building model year 2015 around end of June.
It's Tesa cloth tape used for wiring
wonder if they already caught it up. i guess they wouldn’t make the same videos they already made for the first brz
never a dull moment when you boys release a Vid! love it!
Good to see you guys show us what you look for when buying a car!
I had to stop 5 minutes into this video to write this because suddenly I had a flash of the time you guys bought the Nissan 350Z...
I hope it has all its doors
The 86 twins are all about being fun to drive, are they low on power even compared to a camry, yes, but its a riot to drive every time and I think they look fantastic (especially IRL the curves don't come across as well on camera). I cant imagine selling mine as there is nothing modern to compare to for price/fun ratio. So glad to have more BRZ stuff on MCM.
Love the vlog style video!!!
love this type of video. almost in the swing of my new job so lookin forward to have $$ to buy merch and finish my old bmws
WORKS stage 2 turbo kit would absolutely slay on this thing.
As long as you can rego the car and its put together good you got a awesome deal on a nice car
LFG lads! I was wondering what happened to the blue BRZ. I was surprised and happy to hear moog came around on his opinion of the 86 platform in previous videos. So stoked to hear you got another one after not hearing about the other one being sold until now.
Hand down THE BEST BROMANCE ON UA-cam :D Down to earth guys and love the chill unscripted vibe :D
MCM has literally made kebabs the car guys choice of food, every time me and the fellas fix something, the kebabs are on their way
hahaha this is almost exactly image how I picked up my 86, country VIC car that was in a front and rear - repaired properly but there was a lot of "18-and-think-this-is-cool" interior mods and eBay axle back fart cannon. Negotiated it to under 10k at a dodgy Dandenong dealers and it's a perfect build car, not so nice that I care about changing shit but nice enough that I can drive it.
Please do a loooong video series on your track mods and experience. I‘d love that!
I just got some merch not long ago from you guys, you are awesome, the wristy strap is very nice and the mighty no rods shirt feels amazing and looks very good, keep being awesome, and happy holidays from here in the US
Please team up with turbo Yoda and fit a bara,1j/2j, LS, Honda k engine into it
K swap would be legit
Thought the whole time this was a joke and you were going to turn around and be like jokes were buying this RX7
I secretly hoped that they would buy the Citroën C4
I'm still sure this is what is going to happen 😂
@@nickcook85 hope so then they can have a convertible vs hardtop RX7 race haha
‘Not for Sale’ on the dash 🤣
Good video :) a little long but fun to watch your day to day banter and lunch etc.
moog is like me when going to buy a car and marty is like my girlfriend always slackin loll
Damn, I got super excited when I saw that FC turbo, was really hoping that was the one you were buying. I almost bought a clapped out big single turbo FC back in high school. That old school 80s boost lag is hilarious fun.
I have one I'm fixing currently, I can't wait to get it sideways
Love what you do Guys , all the way from sunny UK 🇬🇧
Dudes... the banter in this episode was top notch! Hilarious!
I live in the western US. I could register a half eaten ham sandwich in my state
You guys should buy a towtruck :D small mods and you save a lot of time and effort in hauling
He's protecting his dealer license.
“I’m not paying asking price, because I don’t pay asking price for shit!” Best quote ever Moog
Hot tip: Don’t eat lunch watching them drive to the car. When Marty says Emu Farm stop or skip 60 sec - thank me later
But that’s the best part!
I thought Moog got rid of the RS3 for the STi?!
I think this was filmed before Moog sold the RS3. In one of the more recent earlier vids - possibly a unicorn circuit ep, they mentioned that there were a few project cars in the pipeline that they haven't revealed yet. This must be one of them... I know in the past they've revealed cars then said nothing about them for months due to other projects, which has resulted in 1000's of "where is the xyz" comments, so it makes sense they decided to sit on the vid till they could work on the car.
This format is fantastic - just two dudes going and doing something incidental and talking about it.
Watched you when you had the BRZ, glad to see it come back :)
Ok.....so I've been trying to wrap my head around this the whole time I've been watching y'all's videos.....a "kabab" in your part of the world is a kin to a gyro in the states?! 🤯🤯😂🤘🔥 Been watching y'all for years now, love all of it!!! Cheers from Winder Ga USA!!!
It's called kebab or doner kebab in Europe too. Not kabab, it's just the Ozzie pronounciation. :) Cheers from Kajaani, Finland, northern Europe!
Similar. A gyro is a greek dish, the kebab is middle eastern. A gyro also often has a thicker pita. I would say that the construction is similar, but the ingredients are very different.
pretty much
kebab is turkish
gyros is greek
You can find a kebab in Georgia.
I think so. It has other names in other parts of Australia from yiros, souvlaki and kebab.
Giros is the correct spelling but Yiros is the correct sounding...(phonetically)
Kebab is the Turkish wording and usually has a weird meat loaf thing that I personally dislike.
I always get a lamb yiros with raw onion, tomato, garlic sauce but no lettuce and instead add tabouleh.
More high quality bogan content 🤘 strap in (or on) boys! 🤣
So excited to see some more 86/BRZ content. Give me some inspiration for my own.
