Great vlog as always lee you better get a lot more stock Man on bike will be telling his mates at the cycling club what a great person to deal with you are.
What impresses me Lee is in your last video you said you didn't have time to buy more stock at auction because you were using that time to prepare cars to deliver to customers. Those customers had placed deposits and were locked in sales, you chose to give them good customer service rather than buying more stock to get more customers, which I believe says everything any future customers may need to know about your integrity and quality customer service 👍🏻
I bought a 2016 Viva as a pre reg in 2017, as a stop gap. I've still got today it's been brilliant. Quite nippy and regular returns 53mpg. They are actually an evolution of the Chevy spark. Built in Korea and sold in Europe as an Opel Karl.
my first car.....in 1982 cost me £100 loved that car but putting it in reverse used to pull the gear stick off in my hand......accelerator pedal was like one off a sowing machine....great days great memories
I don't purchase vehicles at this price and I also live abroad but I wouldn't hesitate to come here.. the care and attention to the stock and service is clear to see...
Great video bud, you could have sorted that paint out for a tenner, g 3 doors, blow some base coat over the join on both doors, clear it then use fade out thinner to blend in both sides, hardly take any time, tbh the painter should have blended into the door in the first place, you can't really do panel to panel on silver, it always seems mucky compared to factory, I blend virtually every job tbh.
My car went into the garage last week to have the fan belt changed. After looking at the mileage that the courtesy car had on it, I'll never, ever regard any of your Car Pitch cars as high mileage or "mileagey" ever again. 212,000 miles.... on a 1.2 petrol Vauxhall Corsa.
I wouldn’t have noticed that bit of paintwork!! We all have minor disasters with which the car gets scratched!! It’s mostly driveway entrances and gates closing onto the car that cause scratches and paintwork issues!!
a lot of tradesmen use cars instead of vans - picasso's, Scenics, Pug/Citroen van with windows are very popular because they provide the space but don't attract the commercial road tax
Fantastic pitch update video Lee m8...Great to see sales are great and looking 4ward as ever to seeing the incoming auction videos...Keep up the great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
LEE a couple of cars for your to review, a mini a lot of traders don't like them and the 1,0 eco boost fiesta /focus versus the 1,2 which are good news
I bought a cat s ka before Christmas, 13 plate, 1500 bid, 30k,i improved the repair, anyway no chance in selling it, autotrader retail was 4.5k,i ended up with 1995,i made the car mint, I actually ended up making 20 quid (!) nightmare.
@@carukchannel got a couple of cheapies from Abs today, big old auto s80 volvo, fsh, 300 quid and a 1 owner picanto 59 plate, 59k,850 bid, been buying dearer tackle but worried it won't move tbh.
Another great video Lee (: I'm not far from where your garage is located and I'm looking to get my first car in the next month or so. I've got my automatic driving test next month and looking for a small, automatic car. If there is an automatic car that you could possibly be looking at bidding for on your next auction day I'd like to purchase this car though you. Many thanks (:
I need your help i bought a 2013 FIat 500 for £3 grand car drove well but then 2 days later gearbox exploded , just had to pay £800 to repair it and fit new clutch , the dealer A and A cars in Farnham owned by a guy called Arton Agussi has given me the cold shoulder , Originally he emailed me back saying he would pay half the repair cost but now is not replying i have reported him to the motoring ombudsman but what do i do ? as i like the car but need some money back , I am scared to go back to the dealership as its in the middle of nowhere .
You should have just taken it back and got your money back after 2 days. If you've gone ahead and done the repair yourself the dealer is not obligated to refund it unless prior agreement in place
"Man on bike" is surely a secret marketing ploy by the cunning car plot owner ......as was "woman with suitcase" Who next lord Lucan ? Headless man on galloping horse ? 😂👍 I like the chat you give about cars, the good, the bad & the ugly. Especially, with such crap engine designs about these days 👍.
The name Viva started in 1962 with a boxy little car. The Viva HA was born, as was a lot of other Vauxhall Vivas. The last car of that name was made in 1985, to be brought back by Vauxhall in 2013. And that’s the one you’ve got.
@graemecatty9921 My earliest memories were parents had a vauxhall viva back in early '70s. Hated the leather or plastic seats. Cold when wearing shorts. Early memories lol.
I had 67 plate F reg HB estate what a fun car to drive must have been high spec as it had leather seats I particularly remember the speedometer was an oblong shape
Li, I used to tell the staff at my old tool hire shop "if we stop hiring and selling so much we won't have to knacker ourselves rushing around ordering more stock, off-loading it, storing it, selling it, fleeting it, cleaning it and repairing it. think of all the time we'd save!!!" did they listen? NO. every month, every year we smashed our targets and banked ourselves some really good money. even my "customer improvement programme" failed. they just spent more to spite me! sometimes you just can't win...
Is it me, or do Vauxhall tend to recycle the names of their cars, I remember the Vauxhall Viva as a family saloon or estate from the late 70s / early 80s, when I was still a young kid riding around on a Raliegh Chopper, lol, but I've never known Ford for example, bring out a new Escort, or Cortina..... - Jess.
The original escort was sold in the 50’s as the posh estate version of the prefect but not many remember it as not many survived; bit of a gap and the mk1, came out, go figure
People make a big deal out of cat S & N cars. But reality is, if a car was ever hit when it was new(ish) and was repaired by insurance, it wouldn't be on the cat register. So a car on the register is not an issue, just means you can save lots of money. Just make sure it has been repaired properly. But most cars once they get to 10yrs and older, have had body work paint at some point, with suspension replacements etc. Which is what gets done after an accident. But people hear cat N or S. And automatically think death trap and its been smashed to pieces, not a dented wing & broke headlight, or needs a couple of doors.
I've bought quite a few and the repairs have been a wing and a bumper! Before big brother and the internet ruled our lives no one knew what had been done to used cars and they took them at face value. I bought my current car at one year old for £12,000 and, from recent and past experience, I know the dealers are going to insult me with really low trade in values when I choose to replace it; thats if they will even take it. If we are serious about saving the planet things need to change.
Lee thanks for the up date video but l was gutted not to now how the Yellow 500 was or wasnt doing could we have and video up date on that l think it's becoming a channel icon😂👍
Your success as well as your integrity has got to be down to customers choosing these type of cars against much more expensive stuff. My daughter is in OZ for a year and I have been giving her Yaris a run every 2 weeks. 1.0krfe engine same as C1 etc. last night I was cruising at 60 for about 12 miles and the computer showed an average of 65.5 mpg. 90k miles runs like new. What a fab economic petrol engine
Buying and selling guides sounds ace Lee.... Cant wait for those! Would also love to see some details of the mechanical work you do, maybe take us through the processes in detail would be cool
Had a loads of Cat cars & saved a fortune over the years. Yes I work in the body trade so do my all my own repairs. What lets them down is some of them have been shockingly repaired. Keep up the good work 👍
Another great walk around and update video lee,good to see you still busy and look forward to more auction videos,cheers lee for taking the time to makethese videos for us to watch for free👌👊👍
I think other car dealers could learn from people like you and chops garage, High peak etc, that being open and honest pays dividends in the car sales business, it could even be more advantageous than loads of money spent on AutoTrader and other advertising.
Nothing wrong with a cat s lee if its budget in mind repaired to a good standard etc I bought my daughter and granddaughter a c1 each and they,ve had no probs at all passed mots etc:}
Great customer service and this is why people will buy cars from you. Really wanted to see the cars in the corner to see if anything had moved 🤣🤣Great content as always
Really pleased that you are doing so well. Surely selling many cars is good? Or is there a down side to this? Will you eventually run out of cars to buy?
Im happy to have a cat car so.long as its priced right and repaired right. Current car is a cat s shouldn't have been a s though nowt structural damaged 😊
Great to see an honest, hardworking car pitch, going the extra mile to deliver good value cars to his customers. Works hard to build his business.
Thanks bud 👍
Great videos love to see a genuine hardworking car dealer👍 did I notice a rover metro in the background? What’s happening with that?
Great vlog as always lee you better get a lot more stock Man on bike will be telling his mates at the cycling club what a great person to deal with you are.
can see you needing bigger premises and more staff, really like the way you do things, keeping up the standards, being honest. Great channel..
Did you see the Toyota Aygo that Chops Garage bought. The front wishbones rusted away. Worth watching that video from about 3 weeks ago. Aygo/C1/107.
Yeah, but worth checking before you buy for safety mainly.

You deserve your success Lee. Good value straight cars from a straight seller 👍

We are the same down South Lee.....i am fortunate i still buy from a group of garages

Hi Lee, in a year's time or two you may need a bigger site, or find an additional nearby site.
its going well for you nice to see any auctions coming up
Another great update Lee. Honest reviews and a genuine trader Well done again.
Well done Lee. 10 out of 10 for customer service again. Great little walkabout on the pitch and chat. 🚗
Good news about selling lots,it means auction vids on the way,keep up the good work👍🏻
Glad you’re doing so well!! I know it causes issues too but sales are the name of the game. Thanks for the videos- I really enjoy your channel!!
Fantastic pitch update video Lee m8...Great to see sales are great and looking 4ward as ever to seeing the incoming auction videos...Keep up the great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks neil
Always love your videos Lee. Always smile when you pop up with a new one
Well done Lee. Your site is as busy as hell. Good to see cars are flying out the window.
Nice to have a bit of colour on the pitch, too easy to end up with a sea of black and grey 😂
Your excellent prep and customer service is a credit to you. At the rate you are selling cars I reckon you will need a bigger pitch soon!
That yeller 'un still hasn't gone yet, Lee! 🤣
Nope, thinking of turning it into a water fountain 👍😁
Looking forward to these in depth reviews…. Interested in that Viva 1.0 also Agila 1.2chain … these types of car .. 😊
Other used car dealers must be thinking where have I gone wrong. Well done you.
An excellent watch as always. 👍
Woohoo, more auctions. Looking forward to the in depth content too. Nice work Lee.
Always good to see hardworking people succeed!
I’m pretty sure the modern GM Vauxhall Viva is based on the Daewoo/Chevrolet Matiz, rather than being a shortened Corsa.
Based on a spark
Good on ya Lee.…Proper old school grafter ! Not many left ? Every penny VERY well earned 💪
LEE a couple of cars for your to review, a mini a lot of traders don't like them and the 1,0 eco boost fiesta /focus versus the 1,2 which are good news
Great video be interesting to see the new in depth of cars am looking to start trading a little myself
Good to see cars selling well
Great content
You don't need Vehicle Score to get a comprehensive breakdown. That's what Teslas and Land Rovers are for.
New vids sounds like a great idea 👍
Nice work Lee. Fingers crossed for man on bike.
I'm intrigued by the BMW next to the Focus. Is it a 635 CSI?
Naww that a 3 series Baur convertible
E21 bauer convertible I think
Agreed, need a walk round that BMW Lee!!!
Its not mine, its next doors. I will maybe show you it next time I do a pitch tour
I bought a cat s ka before Christmas, 13 plate, 1500 bid, 30k,i improved the repair, anyway no chance in selling it, autotrader retail was 4.5k,i ended up with 1995,i made the car mint, I actually ended up making 20 quid (!) nightmare.
Hope your well bud, went to castleford G3 today, was interesting place
@@carukchannel yes bud fine, I've not been there, bought a quasgui at Astons today, 15 plate, 3750 bid, crack in screen tho.
I wouldn't entertain car's on the Vcar register..

Hi there mate I love your channel you are a lovely garage dealer do you ever get any land rover discoveries would love to know
Does a Cat S attract increased insurance premiums?
Another great video Lee (:
I'm not far from where your garage is located and I'm looking to get my first car in the next month or so.
I've got my automatic driving test next month and looking for a small, automatic car. If there is an automatic car that you could possibly be looking at bidding for on your next auction day I'd like to purchase this car though you. Many thanks (:
Honesty again though ....
Nearly run out of stock = good problem to have 🙂
Not for me!! First, it’s too small for taking a group of four of us. Second, the luggage area would be too small for a cycling camper!!
Quality video as usual 👍

Dd you sort your ramp out in the end?
We replaced the ramp few months back with a unit we used to have in our old business. that also broke a month back 😔 but we did get it working again
Looks like you’re getting too busy? Not surprised, you offer good cars, great service and transparency. Good luck Lee
