an idea for a video: install a camera on the other side of the street or on top of the garage and show us a timelapse video of moving all of these cars around to get one from the far end out for a client :D
It’s an easy fix, take off the access panel on the top of headlight surround, drive them for half an hour and the heat from the engine dries them out, sorted
Whenever Matt has some cars he needs moving off the forecourt because they’ve been there too long, he uploads one of these videos. 😂😂 Nice video still as always
The KIA Sportage GT-Line in that colour is what our local Police use as their undercover cars lol great video as always thanks Matt for showing us around
Hey Matt, I can't believe you still have the AMG C Class, we came to see it a couple of months ago and its a great looking car and came with free sunglasses lol, only reason we didnt go for it is the guy in the office offered just 11k for our 67 reg Gla premium sport manual with 48k on the clock and merc fsh, he didnt even look at the car, we got 13k for it else where, the GLA needed no work and sold 3 days later at Inchcape merc for 16k, your guy needs put the book down and look at the part exchanges on offer.
I was a casual watcher of your videos, but then I checked out the cars you have for sale on your website. Some of your descriptions had me in tears, and I thought, making me laugh like that, that's got to be worth the price of a UA-cam 'follow'. So here I am. 🙂
I SO wish you were in South Africa. I love your honesty and knowledge and straightforward reviews. I feel it's something very rarely found with 2nd hand dealerships. And I love it that you prefer originality...I can't agree more.
Barney the dinosaur purple 😂😂😂😂 great vid Matt, my 4 series had new drive shaft and relevant components so all good, time for a detail and some new REG plates 😎👍
The best thing about UA-cam premium is being able to skip through the onslaught of Car Vertical ads. Is there anybody remaining on the earth who enjoys car content that hasn’t heard of them?
Great vid. I'm a careful buyer and hate buying cars so I'll be keeping a close eye on your garage when I'm ready for my next one. Be either a Disco sport or a Merc estate. Keep up the good work.
I'm driving my Mini Countryman F60 now 5 year's and all I can say: most reliable and stress-free car I've ever owned! That Lightwhite one looks good 👍🏼
Love your showroom Matt, you really do prep the cars very well indeed, you deserve every penny that you make. Love your videos and all the best to you.
Hi Matt, you have a great inventory and very well presented. Personally a Cat N car of that age would not bother me at all. BTW, you are not the only one who massively over spends. Today I just bought a Peugeot Partner van from 2010 for €4000,- It did not pass its TUV (German MOT) last year, so the owner decided to spend €6000,- at the main dealer to rectify everything that was wrong with it and throw in a timing belt for good measure (All the invoices come with the car). No sooner did he do that and the 5th gear would not stay in position. So he decided to replace the synchro-mesh. When that did not work, he threw the the car out and a start-up Polish second hand trader (a very nice and professional guy) bought it, and had it fixed in Poland (I live near the border, so I guess he did not massively overspend). I test drove it and the car drives really well (which you may hope with the repair costs more than 1.5 times the sticker price). I checked it with Car Vertical and tried to use your promo code. But sadly that does not work outside the UK. Then for some reason it could not retrieve the millage data, so I got the report for free.
If you’ve ever wondered what Hank Scorpio got up to after taking over the east coast of America, he’s selling second hand motors in Cheshire! 😂 I do like the warts and all approach to your videos, it’s quite refreshing that you document the good and the bad, and don’t try to come across as smelling of roses the whole time like so many other channels. Thanks for the content!
Many years ago, I brought a used car from a dealer,I then went straight to my local garage. My mechanic took one look at it and said I am lucky to be alive,ever since then,I haven't had any confidence in used car sales. Now for the last few weeks, I've been watching matts videos,and I would definitely buy from him,he makes sure that everything is good,and he definitely wants the customer to be very happy. Seeing Matts videos,make me feel that there are still decent, and honest people about.
Matt, when you present a car and open the door, make a shot of the cabin inside of the car. Like to see what equipment it has, or future buyers. Cheers
So nice to see the 718 in the garage. We are on Cayman #3, the first was a 987 6 cylinder and the last two 718s. Although a 4 cylinder misses out on a bit of the theatrics and sound of the 6, it’s a much better daily. More flexible, quicker and nimble. Get a manual though if this is the replacement for the AMG, it’s a sweet box. Our current 718 has just hit 104K klm and has been pretty much trouble free :)
Hi Matt. My 2p's worth regarding writing off cars with minimal damage. It's often not because of the cost of the repair compared to the value of the car but the cost of a like for like new hire car whilst the damaged car is being repaired.
A relatively well off older gentlemen who’s health declines so they hardly drive it; but it gets serviced as per schedule because that’s what they’ve always done - plenty of those about!
@@GregsthenameYes I am sure Matt looked at the maintenance log aswell. But 1000 miles a year is really low, did the previous owner not go to a yearly holliday? The thing is why go for a diesel engine then. Here in the Netherlands you pay a lot more tax with a diesel.
@@Gregsthename Yes, My (relatively well off) grandmother had a car with very low milage as well but she bought a new Fiat Panda Automatic instead of an expensive Audi Q5...
Simple way of getting rid of cars that have been standing around for months Lower the price. Surely a small profit and onto the next is better than waiting months & months for a far bigger profit. As long as its profit.
I’ve never really understood why people are put off high milers… as long as the service history is all there and it’s been well looked after, it’s a no brainer, save ££££ and have a nice car!
Amazing Matt have you a encyclopedia in your head cause there seems not to be a car your not clued up on I love how you can tell there origins and what should be and shouldn't be just uncanny!!!!
Great stock Matt, may be there is no interest in the Audi A8 because of the combination of fuel consuption, road tax, insurane and price. 11 year old Audi for nearly £16K and £415 road tax, add the insurance increase last 12 months and you have the answer why is still unsold. Quick example: My car insurance: £250 per year in 2022/2023. £350 per year 2023/2024. £520 for 2024/2025. Same car, same home address, same work, acquired more years of NCB, but still price goes up. The Porsche looks great. Cheers.
I've always had two main problems with category cars. You'll have to sell it one day, and being on the register is going to put a lot of people off. Unless it's stupid cheap, I just don't think it's worth getting involved with one. But my main worry is how it would perform if involved in another accident. Would all the safety kit work properly, and would it crumple as designed. Fifth Gear did a crash test on an accident damaged and repaired Focus some years ago, and the result was terrifying. I just wouldn't feel comfortable in one.
Do a video on the Tucson, not many relevant reviews around for those, I borrowed one for a few weeks back in 2009, didnt have very high expectations, but I remember that I really liked driving it.
@@ResevoirGod I have the CX3 which is the crossover model of the Mazda 2. I can confirm they are great cars. Highly underrated and great value for money. Lord knows why they arent more popular.
@@danecowan678 I'm guessing you are seeing JDM imports with the Demio name. The only model that was badged Demio outside Japan was the DW generation. Second, third and fourth gen were badged Mazda 2 outside their home market. Incidentally the Demio name was dropped on JDM models from 2019.
I’m not in the market for a car at present though find your channel fascinating especially your insight into previous owners its hilarious great stuff blue 💯 Ps may see you in February 2025 trying to trade my Avensis.. I know you secretly love 🤔😂
When you watch car repair shops in the USA they are always saying that the petrol Kia motors are not lasting long they seem to have a lot with broken engines.
I bet you love it when someone says I'll have a test drive of the one in the middle of the yard, but I need it now... Yeah, just hang on I'll move ten cars out of the way. 😅
Matt, please do a garage tour on a regular basis, great to see a good variety of cars
That Porsche yes please
an idea for a video: install a camera on the other side of the street or on top of the garage and show us a timelapse video of moving all of these cars around to get one from the far end out for a client :D
Gotta sort out that condensation in the BMW 1 series headlight!
911 has rear seats Matt, they do come in handy.
I was surprised by that, looked awful!
All of the prefacelift 1 series seem to have that issue
It’s an easy fix, take off the access panel on the top of headlight surround, drive them for half an hour and the heat from the engine dries them out, sorted
@@josephkelly4893until the next time it rains….
It needs removing and resealing professionally
Exactly stuck out to me instantly
Whenever Matt has some cars he needs moving off the forecourt because they’ve been there too long, he uploads one of these videos. 😂😂
Nice video still as always
Hey Matt, I like how honest you are about your stock. A great example to all car dealerships. 🎉
Just got back from an annoying day at work, can’t wait to watch this with my dinner to unwind. Cheers Matt
1am garage tour, exactly what I needed ., cheers Mat
I watch at tge same time too. I work a night shift and that's my lunch break
The KIA Sportage GT-Line in that colour is what our local Police use as their undercover cars lol great video as always thanks Matt for showing us around
Weres that then Fuckin Trumpton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great choice Matt. Hope to visit soon, as I've been watching you for a few years and know you as a honest dealer.
Good content again Matt watching with my oldest son he was looking at your vx R corsa … he checking insurance compared to his 2015 swift! 😂
Looks like he’s sold it now. I hope your son worked out the insurance.
I SO wish you were in South Africa. I love your honesty and knowledge and straightforward reviews. I feel it's something very rarely found with 2nd hand dealerships. And I love it that you prefer originality...I can't agree more.
I sense a conspiracy to always overlook the Honda Civic's 😂😂 great video as always Matt, will certainly buy my next car from you when the time comes!
He should buy up all the 10yr old civics he can
You have a nice stock there. Various cars to match everyone's preferences. It's so nice of you that you care even about parcel shelves.
Thanks. That Audi Q5 looks like my pick of the bunch, with such low mileage. Thanks for the tour.
Barney the dinosaur purple 😂😂😂😂 great vid Matt, my 4 series had new drive shaft and relevant components so all good, time for a detail and some new REG plates 😎👍
Matt I like these videos buddy, better than the “I bought a cheap….” Always good seeing your stock and your usually high quality narration 😉👌

I drove a Sportage in Portugal last month, and I loved it the clutch was so light! The spec was great. Would love one!
I'm driving my Mini Countryman F60 now 5 year's and all I can say: most reliable and stress-free car I've ever owned! That Lightwhite one looks good 👍🏼
Those Hyundais are tanks. And im still liking the A8!!! Maybe i should just buy it!!!
I like a nice walk round the garage.
Very enjoyable Matt. Thanks for the update. You stock some clean tidy motors.

Lots of stock and capital tied up there - kudos for buying right and giving us an honest appraisal of cars on offer! I still like your SL55 though! 😎

Nice walkaround Matt, good relief after a day in my pretty much always boring job!
Nice mix of motors!👍🏻 All looking good in the spring sunshine 🤩

love your vids matt great chill personality
I think we all want a clip of Matt rearranging cars in the forecourt
That’s awesome. Love seeing these! Great work Matt. When it’s time for me to purchase my next car, I will be popping over to you for sure.
I've got a Mazda 2 115, lovely little car and very comfortable as seat belt goes up and down, underrated feature for comfort.
You have a great variety of stock there Matt, there should be something to suit most preferences, and budgets there ❤.
Same as you Matt prefer originality enjoyable video mate loved the 55 plate 😊
I love the c class in silver
That Golf i such a beaut. Just bought the same car last year. I just love it. Golfs rule!
Nice video, hope it gets you a few extra sales especially of cars that have been on the forcourt for longer than "normal"
Love the garage tour Matt as always telling yourself off for neglected duties ordering parts . Love it 😂
Great video, thanks for sharing; is there a problem with parcel shelf theft in High Peaks people should be aware of?
So nice to see the 718 in the garage. We are on Cayman #3, the first was a 987 6 cylinder and the last two 718s.

prefer the 6 cylinder 981 ,,,,has a better sound than the 718s
Love these Garage Tour Updates, keep it coming! 👍
Hi Matt. My 2p's worth regarding writing off cars with minimal damage. It's often not because of the cost of the repair compared to the value of the car but the cost of a like for like new hire car whilst the damaged car is being repaired.
Hope Matt did the carverical thing on that low milage Audi Q5, who buys a diesel and then drives only 6000 miles in 6 years.
A relatively well off older gentlemen who’s health declines so they hardly drive it; but it gets serviced as per schedule because that’s what they’ve always done - plenty of those about!

@@RoderikvanReekum My father (80 years old ) has a 2013 Mercedes 350d E class estate with 53k miles. Changes oil every year. The car runs perfectly
Mums 2009 Polo has done only 18000. Around 1200 miles a year. I probably walk further. Drives beautifully still.
@@Gregsthename Yes, My (relatively well off) grandmother had a car with very low milage as well but she bought a new Fiat Panda Automatic instead of an expensive Audi Q5...
I get the sense Matt isn’t too fond of Honda Civics 😂 great video as always
I really like the new Civic but no one else seems to. Maybe people dont like Saloons perhaps?
Matt that condensation in the headlamp will need sorting on the 1 series, it’s a common issue, some nice metal in stock 👍
i enjoy your garage tours matt you have some mint used cars for sale m8
1 series beemer in blue...ns headlight full of condensation
You got lots of lovely cars Matt and a good video 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Simple way of getting rid of cars that have been standing around for months Lower the price. Surely a small profit and onto the next is better than waiting months & months for a far bigger profit. As long as its profit.
Maybe he has on some 🤷 but agree, don't want them sitting there for months
Matt what a brilliant video keep them coming 👏 👍 👌
Thanks 👍
The Civic is nice!
Hi Matt
Very nice mix off stock 👌
Something to choose for everyone.
Very good video like always 👍
Regards.
I’ve never really understood why people are put off high milers… as long as the service history is all there and it’s been well looked after, it’s a no brainer, save ££££ and have a nice car!
Same view here. Iv had a mix of low and high, the high iv always found to drive better/ more reliable.
Excellent video Matt. Keep up the good work pal ya smashing it 👍👍👍
Hi matt, I really do like your garage tour's. All the best Andy
Opportunity to start “Rear Parcel Shelves R Us”.
Amazing Matt have you a encyclopedia in your head cause there seems not to be a car your not clued up on I love how you can tell there origins and what should be and shouldn't be just uncanny!!!!

Thank you 😊
Golf mk7 is a great all round car, I rate them 👌
Fun and interesting! Thanks! Were I not in the U.S. you'd have a new customer 😃
I'd like to see a video of how you get any of them out (especially the ones nearer to the back) if someone wants a test drive 🤣
I don’t understand how parcel shelves go missing. See loads of cars for sale without em.
In parts of Europe, the Mazda 2 is actually called the Mazda Demio. If anyone’s interested 😂
The Demio name was only used in Japan on the DJ model Mazda 2.
I only knew that because of Gran Turismo
@@ResevoirGod I have the CX3 which is the crossover model of the Mazda 2. I can confirm they are great cars. Highly underrated and great value for money. Lord knows why they arent more popular.

Matt , how about going to another dealers lot and having a look around .
love watching these should do a video every 2 weeks or so ?
Cars must be selling well up north because your car prices are very high compared to down here in the south west?
Hi great videos
I was waiting for the Z3!
Very good love your honesty
Please do more of these! Make them monthly.
Love a nice stock video walkaround. What do people do with all these parcel shelves though? 🤷
0:53 needs a passenger headlight the bmw.
That bmw 1 series needs that headlight sorting. But it’s nice
Getting all those cars in and out of that small area seems like a nightmare! It's like car Tetris 😂
Love a garage tour what's still here from the last one ?
That Tucson for the FOTU
In my city of about 30,000 people, none of the car dealers have fences around their cars. Much more space too. Land is cheap in Southern Minnesota.
Nice cars Matt!
Please cover suzuki splash i just bought one loveu xx lots of room xx
Love the garage Tour Video's.
Very nice inventory.
When you watch car repair shops in the USA they are always saying that the petrol Kia motors are not lasting long they seem to have a lot with broken engines.
might want to replace the headlight on that one series, is letting moisture in 👍
Don't tell him that he'll end respraying the whole fuckin car, lol
