    If you're quiet in December, don't buy any new stock. Fix the ones you want to retail and put them on sale. Scrap any cars you won't be keeping, and maybe fix a few and trade them on. Have a good Friday and weekend Lee.

    It's not obvious to us why some cars depreciate so much but when you see them a few years older, like the Puretech and Ecoboost, that's why. What we need is your insight into new-ish cars so we can avoid the loss!

    Very easy to get ripped off at the auction many years ago i bought 5 cars at auction 2 Renault 12's one looked rough the other immaculate which I later found out had a dud engine the other one good engine made one out of the two, an Austin maxi 😂 no fifth gear a morris marina gearbox knackered, and a mk3 cortina which I sold next day to a family member for what I paid for it. It was a very bad day. Learnt a few lessons that day and was much more cautious in the future. That was 40 odd years ago, now retired and drive a Dacia.

    Dont want to worry you on the kia but the dealer snapped a glow plug on ours whilst under warranty (the one they replaced and cross threaded in but thats another story) they had the same stripped off cylinder head they had it months. Eventually returned with 3 brand new injectors, wiring loom and a new ecu apparently they had spiked it somehow?
    Personally think with that many fiat 500/kas coming and going id be keeping a freshly rebuilt gearbox and rear suspension on the premise ready to go then could be a quicker turn around on those

    I've owned a 10 plate petrol focus for 12 years. 165,000. Getting bit expansive for labour now because lots of minor maintenance required. Getting a mazda 3 next 21 or 22 plate, avoiding ecoboom. Do people think Mazda 3 is good?
    The focus still has original clutch! Just had front discs and rear facing suspension bush arms and exhaust welded back on. Just too much little jobs need doing constantly and corrosion under car is building up.

    Enjoy your videos.
    This is my analysis of the curent status and I'm no car pitch trader.
    1.Cashflow is KIng, but at the moment you have a nice car museum.
    2. You often state in your videos that certain models will sell very easily, so why not concentate more on those? too many Heinz Variety models on your pitch, far too many in my opinion.
    3. You also state time is money which is true but also space on your pitch is also money so dont fill your pitch with crap.
    4. You could bite the bullet and scrap at least a quarter if not more just to get some cash in and start again, go for what you know sells well , go for those models that you really understandeg Fiat Panda, Fiesta, Focus, etc keep the number of brands down to a minimum.
    5. Do you offer servicing & MOT's another opening ? not sure.
    Best of luck Lee, hope you get it all sorted soon, give us all an update in the New Year

    One of our 1.4 TDCI Fusions suffered from a failed injector at about 86k miles. Got a new injector fitted and a few months later another injector failed. Our other Fusion is still going at 144k miles. They are pretty decent cars overall, however the 1.4 Petrol ones are probably a better choice being less complicated.

    I have ended up with bad motors not intentionally, jist wen u buy an old car u get no know the faults very quickly. I end up getting stuck with a car and spend my time fixing it. It takes time and money getting these car right. When i come to sell it the car is is good working order better than when i bought it. This is just my own personal cars but it is disheartening when u by a car and then the next day when u start it from cold u find that it has an injector problem especially if its a Bimmer. They dont build these cars like they use too. No wonder everyone is buying new cars on pcp. Pppl can do diy on cars anymore they dont want to and they dont have the knowledge. However theres loads of resources online if u really want to fix them urself.

    All your fixed costs, divided by 12 (months), divided by the number or car sized spaces on The Pitch = cost per car each month just to have them all taking up space!. Scary number I reckon😮.

      I told my Tanzanian mot man to get the 10 scrapers/hangers on outta his life and only have ready to go 12 year old max 90k miles to 5-6 year old 50k tackle
      The scrap holding onto a swapper you allowed £400 on then spend £150 plus 2 days fixing then it sits there at £999.
      Easier to punt it off the auctions and get £400 and put £2500-£3500 into a decent car that makes £1200 .
      You can take a horse to water and my Tanzanian mate will be drier than a nuns coochie 👍

      They are decent to be fair, I don't buy the 998cc or the 1.2 turbo petrol models. Only the 1.2 non turbo petrol engine or the 1.5 diesel

    Li, might be an idea to keep out of the auctions for a while and get stuck in fixing up and clearing out that dead stock mate. they're all dead money blocking up the car pitch charging you rent & rates for the privilege.

    Here's an idea Lee, each week, put a poll on of 3 cars, she's let the viewers vote which one you should fix up next. That'll get some out of shit corner, and you'll have to report back if you can't fix the viewer choice

    Beware of a catch when these manufacturers give you a lifetime guarantee. I had a Tom Tom Sat Nav with lifetime upgrades. I bought it in 2017 and last year they refused to let me update it, telling me to buy a new one. There was nothing wrong with the one I had. So I will never purchase another Tom Tom. I would use WAZE on my phone, if I owned a car.
