I already held my breath for 10 while the guys were bidding 1600 on the Uno... Who wants to bet that the buyer decided to cancel his bid and abandon his ebay account?
Challenge: Everybody has 4h to buy a car for less than 1k. If they still have some money left, they can modify the car with the rest of the money. After this they drive to Germany to go on a lap on the Nurburgring. Who ever drives the fastest lap wins. Of course you can also choose a different track and country but I think the Nurburgring would be cool since the first part of the challenge is to get to the track and the second one is to do a fast lap.
1. It’s illegal to time a car around the Nurburgring in touristenfahrten. 2. The track won’t open until around March next year. They won’t do this, especially not at the Nurburgring.
@@danielpark5575 Like I said: They can also choose a different track. :) I think it would be quite difficult to drive to germany and do a lap on the Nürburgring during corona in winter XD
@@z-trip5457 madness. They are great little cars but way gone are the days of £1500 rust free turbo mk1's. That was a great time in life. 10k is insanity
Nah, it's different for the Uno. They are now so rare that they've started to appreciate and nice ones will only be worth more and more now, regardless of what happens with prices generally.
That 'weird' place of rust below the window is very likely because either somebody tried to steal it or locked the keys in the car...during the 'fishing' they damaged the paint under the seal.
@@hhn2002 I guess that galvanization only lasts so long. Anywhere where water can accumulate can be a breeding ground for rust. I guess that after 14/15 years all bets are off. It's such a small area on the Boy's car that some rust proofing would look better than the real thing. I love these videos and can't wait for the next.
Now we need all 3 on separate laptops bidding on cars individually so there’s competition to get the best bang for your buck. They might even be out bidding eachother which would be hilarious 🤣
A challenge I would LOVE to see is a blindfolded car guessing game. It would be hilarious to see Ethan trying to guess a car only by hearing the exhaust note, the sound of the doors closing or being a passenger in a test drive. Love the channel, greetings from Spain!
Always love the content Something to note, Alex the car "expert" has bought some utter lemons. Then on a random ebay purchase turns out best car purchase yet
What a car for the money 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Here’s an idea for a challenge, How about a uk road trip each in a budget car trying to have breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper in each of the UK’s capital cities in a 24hr period. To make the best chance of it working I’d imagine you would have to either start it or end it here in Northern Ireland. If starting here it would need to be eat early, onto the boat then Edinburgh, Cardiff & finish in London that night. That would be fun to watch 😀
My 1998 corsa had 42k when I got it 2 years ago. I paid £400 with 12 months MOT. It now has 83k on the clocks and averaged 20k miles per year in the last 2 years I've owned it. Weapon.
That was a pretty exciting episode… watched it 13 days ago. You 3 make a great trio and put out entertaining videos. Quit making us wait so long for another good video ha ha ha
One challenge I keep thinking would be good for you guys, is to buy a car in the UK then drive it all the way to Malta or Cyprus (where they drive right hand drive cars) and try and sell it on for a profit. European road trip and cheep car challenge in one! Google seems to think that tax and import duty would be lots, but I'm to lazy to read the regs
That's the best E36 interior I've seen in a long while! Even the fabric on the door cards has held up. An interesting route to go would be swapping in the M42/44 twincam 16v engine (can be had for as little as £150), and you could even get Bruno at BDS to tune it up for you afterwards! Please don't do the M50/52 conversion that has been done to death on these cars.
4-banger S42-replica sleeper would be really cool to be honest. But then this is such a low mileage car, it might just be worth preserving as it is, since E36 prices are shooting up.
Great buy for great price 1500 quid for car that is classic and has lowest mileage 49k that's a gem, if some work carried out and detailed and fixed the rust spots this car be relisted for at least £2.5k to 3k and I bet it would sell.
£6000 each (or pick a number for your production values.) to buy a van and DIY convert it into a camper that adheers to the DVLA camper conversion rules to get the classification changed (but you don't have to actually get it changed that is probably a pita and would delay the production massivly). Budget includes the van, the conversion materials and any tools/fixings. Then each of you have to spend 3 nights in it and each is documented by a 3rd party and judged.
Welcome to Essex chaps. If you continued a bit further on Lmbourne end, you'd get to a pretty cool B road with national speed limit. Also, hilarious how you managed not to show Miller and Carter logo, they used to do pretty good steaks...
Get Bruno on board for experience and to help Manual swap Engine tune or engine swap LSD Roll Cage Suspension Enter Ethan, Jack and Alex into an entry level drift day
If anything, just manual swap it (personal preference) and leave the rest of it alone. It's in such good condition that it would be a waste to track it, there are loads of track ready E36's already roaming around. Just drive it and enjoy it for what it is.
A small engined e36 usually is poorly equipped. That has climate control, sun roof, centre arm rest, a sunroof and a leather wheel. That’s quite optioned out for a 4 pot 90s bmw. Rear arches normally go, like you said, the head liner usually sags and it’s all good. To get rid of that rust, just go to a breakers and buy another door in the same colour, job done, maybe a front wing where it’s been dinged. You will then have a very clean low mileages e36. Being a 4 pot, it will never be worth as much as a straight 6, but I’m sure there is some profit there.
Man , all I do the last couple of days is watching all the car buying challenges that you have done, they are so addictive. Could you do one that you buy an everyday car for the average driver, emphasizing fuel economy, low tax, reliability but also being a car that you would want and like to drive
Oh my goodness - an E36 316i Auto... That sure takes me back. I worked at a BMW dealership when the E30 was replaced by the E36 - what a huge leap forward that car was in terms of space, comfort and driveability. Actually, the 1.6i engine, in my experience, was also the much smoother and more 'zingy' option compared to the (vastly more popular) 1.8i - and, if you used the auto shifter a bit like a sequential gearbox, you could better keep the engine in the power band for much swifter progress.
I can't remeber when was the last time I laughed this much like when Ethan ( first took time to process what Jack said) and than said A THOUSAND?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Alex Should buy the 316iA saloon and Ethan should buy a 318TDS Touring. then make a E36 parade comparo/mini road trip together with Jack's 328 that no one has seen. Great episode guys!
I once did the ending soonest eBay thing and bought a mk2 Toyota MR2 for £420 (80k miles, FSH, 12 months MOT). The seller was not pleased - he'd had a clutch fitted 2 months earlier that had cost £450!
Great idea for a challenge! That e36 is mint! For another challenge, what about sort by nearest on eBay or auto trader and buy the nearest car within budget?
first 3m. guys whilst you’re sitting there deciding if you should press submit, 1/2 people have already put bids in. the current bid is not a live feed
This should become a project for the “ultimate daily”: interior work, manual transmission and lsd, suspension work, wheels and tires… the engine needs to stay, as that’s reliable and economic and it’s what you would expect from a grocery getter e36.
Can we just make 5 seconds of silence for the person who bid over £1600 on that old fiat uno 😔
They had auto-bid on so they must have wanted it quite bad!
Probably forgot to set an amount limit. No Uno is worth that much, not even one with 500 miles on the clock.
I already held my breath for 10 while the guys were bidding 1600 on the Uno... Who wants to bet that the buyer decided to cancel his bid and abandon his ebay account?
... the last time i drove uno it went on fire , but i also think 1600 is way too much
Worth every penny to reshell a rotten turbo.

A smart car. It's Mercedes so it's luxury 🤣
Apart from being a lowly 1.6, it's a really nice car, and far better condition than the price would suggest.

It's got the optional indicator package too!

Well over a ton of cars. A single car is usually well over a ton anyways.

I love how Jack is still driving around in that SAAB from the challenge video.
It is nice though

Good spot there 👁
Or the speedometer not working.

Love how happy Jack was when he found out it was an E36 👌🏽😂
Jack's E39 530d looks CLEAN!
His could be the best one yet. Love this time on a Friday. Keep up the great work lads
I can just see Mike Brewer facepalming when you say "OL' OUT YOUR HAND" haha
'Oh look no rust underneath'

Also that car just yells 'clean, honest car'. Love it!
I’ve never come across a channel I enjoy more than Car Throttle, please do more challenges!👌🏽
What a peach of a car. Even with it's current low mileage it's still worth doing a manual and I6 swap tho! That interior looks still new!
Already know this is gonna be a good one 💕
"Soggy biscuit competition" Jack, how could you!
Please play this game again. But next time take your time to have a clear, strict set of rules that FORCE you to be pushed to weird bids!

Buy the oldest running car on the internet with in the budget of £5000
Just straight up "oldest"? Because you can get 1920s and 30s cars in that price bracket that run... they'll be basket cases but they run.
