You should actually spend the money on another car and flip your way up to a really good car!
Like the idea!
Great idea!
Yeah let's see if he climb the way up to a luxury car
This is the best idea ever
Ah the old paperclip to house flip
These cheap car videos are amazing, keep them coming boys
On the next video buy another car more expensive one. Then sell it again. And see if you can climb your way up the flipper rank and eventually become Salomondrin.
Jep iha vitu jees
It's like the old Top Gear challenges
@@nicorosbergf1fan783 only more realistic!
Agreed
> iPhone X, only 40 pounds per month. >I have a counter offer. Volvo V40 Estate. Only 395 pounds.
A 20 year old car for 395 or a 3 year old, bad phone for a lot?
Guilherme Ferreira I know which one I’d pick
@@okay9535 which?
Guilherme Ferreira the v40
X? Everyone wants the 11 and 11 Pro
Each moment of Jack & Ethan calling Alex just to say *c*ck* are legendary 🤣 8:16 11:56 13:02
The last one was legendary, the confused sound the f****************ck
Wondered why I saw the car listed 3 times on Facebook marketplace, with different descriptions lol
why were you on that shithole site?
@@dazleeders lizard site
@@dazleeders because shits cheap yo. I got a fully working xbox one for £40 and a TV for £10
Lets do 1k likes on this guys comment
What’s his PHONE NUMBER??!?!
Now you should use those £250 to buy another car and then sell it to try to carry on until you can actually buy something worth keeping 😂
A 250€ car with ac is Amazing and worth keeping.
I've always wanted to do this but a limit on how many cars you can sell in a year without registering as a car dealer.
@@nickds7 5 cars per year in my state so i try to make 1000 profit minumum on each car i buy to flip. last one i made 1100 and this car i have now i should make 1200-1500
@@nickds7 not sure there is such a thing in the UK (there might be) but if you buy and sell *for a profit* eventually the tax man will be after you!
I'm currently on car 3 doing this and each time doubling or tripling my cash. Started with a rover streetwise £150 dented wing, popped it back out and put some missing trim on, drove it 2 weeks and sold for £650. Bought a saab for £400, swapped the headunit & wheels out and sold them for £400, sold the car for £600. Now I'm at Renault Megane and will see how I go with that. Trick is get a car with a long MOT
Jesus this guy gets a lot of calls from scammers.
Yeah as soon as you put your number on public websites its free game for scammers
Ameurstihn posh accent
Aye just get a 10 quid pay as you go burner fone instead of Ur actual number
Its happening to me all the time when i post a car for sale but only if i do so on Gumtree. Every single time
@Blaze Temp yes but that won't stop scammers from calling. And they are literally on it 2 minutes after the ad is live. So you will want to pick up in case you have a potential customer on the line. I get what you are saying but the scammers stop calling 1-2 days from when the ad goes live so in the long run they don't keep your number saved and one you sold whatever it is your number disappears from the website anyway. Its just that Gumtree for some reason doesn't have any protection against scammers like autotrader has.
8:09 hitler on the left 😂😂
Markoni holy shit u have the EXACT SAME profile pic as my old one
🤣🤣🤣
lmao
XD
You should make a swap challenge. Start with a cheap car and see where it gets you in a month or so
@@sbomorse Trading Up, how much of that do you think is actually real?
Anything but a integra .
about 15 years ago, i went in 65 days, from 50 bucks Fiat uno to e34 m5 .. tho i tended to swap for cars that needs fixing and did fix them before butting them out again. But it is as stressful as fuck to have your money on them and buying parts and hope thats all you need. As an memory tho , it's nice to have .. how with hard work and talking skills you can make 150-200ish times the original buy in back… without screwing anyone over.
YES!
I mean that’s basically how most used car garages start 😂😂
Next challenge, buy a car for less than £100, then get Matt Watson from carwow to review it.
As long as it's German Matt will review it with a good review!!!!!
Mat*
@Nikola Walls No, Matt Watson from Carwow, UK
It's Mat, not Matt :D
@@irelax8595 As in something to wipe your feet on lol. Yes you are correct, it's Mat Watson at Carwow ha ha.
That soap licking really caught me off guard
Send this to the BBC so they can book your for the next season of Top Gear!
about the only way that series would ever be revived
@@omardude39 Or they could hire Mat Watson from Carwow.
This is like Millennial Top Gear and it's great!
These low budget car videos are absolutely astonishing and remind me a lot of the old top gear in some way, not unlike some of your latest uploads. With the grand tour only going road trip I see a lot of potential in revisiting some of the most iconic cheap car challenges we all ( or at least I do) miss from the golden days TG. Keep it up guys, always amazing. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹
Massimiliano Rossi I agree
Imagen the guy worked for the grand tour and got the car for next season 🤣🤣🤣
I hate when people ask "what would you take for it" and then GO EVEN LOWER than what you say. The rudest move you can make.
Same here, I just say "I cant set the selling price and the buying price, you tell me your offer and we'll go from there"
"I have a car for sale @ £50" "Will you take £25?" "If you are so hard up, just take it for nothing and I'll top the fuel tank for you"
Continue flipping cars and work your way up to something with real value
yeah doesn't work like that
@@mikenewbold1699 Ohh sorry expert, enlighen us all on how it doesn't work?
only takes one bad car and you lose, even experienced traders sometimes make these mistakes.
@@mikenewbold1699 don't buy a bad car so.🤔👍
@@mikenewbold1699 well thats the gamble that is taken, hey its youtube money they use anyway, its for our entertainamnt my guy
I honestly love these low budget videos so much
Then you must hate mr beast
theyre the non bbc sponsored successor to old TG in late 90s to early 20000s lol
12:37 Dog hug! Best life ever
The classic indian cold caller after your post an ad on gumtree 😂😂😂
I swear every time im about to go to sleep, you upload. Couldn't have any better timing lol.
same
well good night
This is good youtube content lad's... Happy vibes 👍👍👍
Same aha
i just woke up hahaha
I like how you started at 475 and in 3 calls you were at 270...
Idk why he reduced the price
@@0s0sXD Because he had 24hours to sell it..............................
Love this idea and something that I want to give a go at! It's kinda sad the amount of time and effort that has to go into just making a few bucks back.
Honestly, especially with the eviction crisis, flipping a cheap car might be the way some people spend their free time as a recently-unemployable to make _some_ money, as opposed to _none._ Plus that with a bit more time, it could lead to someone living in a minivan, as opposed to someone living on the streets. #vanlife #carlife #tinyhouse #tentlife are relevant terms, for those interested.
@@SapioiT 50-100 a day is not bad ,per unit esp not total income daily lol (better yet if it aint being taxed as income lol)
Selling a Volvo to cold callers 😂👌🏻
This was actually a decent episode! Wonder if they had a bigger budget if they'd have a better BBQ.🙄
Wonder if the buyer had car insurance set up to drive it away like that?
Just checked, this vehicle is not insured. It'll get caught and crushed soon hopefully.
This is original content love these videos keep up the good work “Hello?.... Cock”🤣🤣
H1TM4N I Iterally died during this part 😂😂😂
Mike Brewer style trading up series?! With you guys that would be amazing...
Do a “trading up” series and keep flipping cars until you get something cool!!
I told you to sell it! You did haha, now do a £500 car challenge
;) ;)
I haven’t seen you in a while bond
I knew there could only be one J.Bond watching a car throttle video on release... how spooky! See you in a month 😏 -C.W
next - buy the biggest 500 pound car/vehicle you could find, make it into improvised caravan and go camping
Great idea
That's cool!
I was thinking the same!
Another stolen top gear idea
@@ssjmonstar so what
Really actually enjoyed watching both of these episodes. Keep them coming 👍
250 counterfeit pounds
It is funny how people asking "if the car drives smoothly" for a car in a price of a bike
I'd be surprised if it even runs at all
i'd wonder if it has chairs in it for that price, let alone wheels!
by "bike" you mean bicycle, right? :D A motorbike for 400 GBP would probably be worse than a car, unless it's like a 50 cc something.
@@RonaiHenrik Yeah, bicycle
@@RonaiHenrik As a motorcyclist myself. It is harder to find a cheap motorcycle (not that I would want to own a 400 GBP motorcycle).
"Don't wash it in the sunlight". Anyone else remember that bloody gazebo?
Miller Corner see if they want to buy a punto 😂
Light hearted, great camerawork and some fun challenges. Loving the channel guys (Y)
Epic! Really enjoyed this! Do it again please!!!! Keep up the good work lads!
This cheap car buy thing is the best car series happening right now. Keep it going, it is great!
I'll keep an eye out for the Volvo on Traffic Cops, bound to be a drug transporter now lol
He paid in £50 notes 😂😂
@@JumpzVidz bet they can smell the coke on the notes 🤣
Great series of vids. Long may it continue!
This is seriously becoming my favorite KZhead channel
America: Cheapest car is $1,000 Europe: You can get a car for £1
Taiwan: 20 year old car are just given away.
Italy: you want to change the owner of the car? That'll be 500€. Just for the paperwork.
True, I've got my first car for 100€ and never even paid more that 900 for one
As a counter however, petrol is dirt cheap in the USA, so in the long run it's not that different I imagine.
@@z-trip5457 but in usa they got to drive 10x more than UK does so it dosnt work out cheaper at all in fuel costs
You could have just filled er with fuel , would have doubled its value 😂
And less money in his own pocket.
Does a Volvo take a 152 liters of fuel in the tank to cost 195 GBP ? Nope
@@wyrazowfkp My 1998 V70 2.5 turbo takes 70l so absolutely no xD
@@wyrazowfkp he was joking
If you mean the interior, followed by a match, you'd be correct.
This has to be the best channel on KZhead you guys are fucking hilarious 😂....keep up the crazy antics 👍🏻😁
those prank calls got me every time :D cheers guys
Do a series, keep trading up cars and see how much you can make.
Imagine the person who bought it watching this
lol
It's still a cheap buy at £250
@@jase6709 this man tho
It's still a decent price. If they had one week to sell it it would go for 400 at some point...
@@Arek_R. brooo in my country they would try to sell it like 2000
This is the kind of British content I need in my life. 💯😁
I think this takes the cake for the best video(s) you guys did. Would love to see more money challenge and flip. Maybe like a holiday challenge like top gear did?
You need to make more videos like this. 'Miles' was an amazing series and cheap cars like this are amazing as well. After all, I mainly enjoy videos if I would find it potentially useful in the future.
You forgot the magic tree and the part in description that says its never been smoked in. thats the wheeler/dealer trademark.
"Engine fires right away and runs smooth, no knocks in the suspension, used by a non smoker"
@@sydneydreg "driven by an elderly woman on sundays"
what's a magic tree?
@@AdamAmbrus The air freshener
Best series ever!!!! keep up the good work
Please keep doing these videos!! You should all buy a cheap car for £250 or under and see who’s is the best and who’s breaks down
Loved the sainsburys trolley dolly impression 😂😂🛒🛒🛒
I was waiting for an episode like this, and you guys delivered! Keep it up!
I love your dog so much! Also trying to sell the Volvo to the cold-callers made me laugh so hard XD
That's definitely one of my favourite videos you guys have done - A* banter!
We need a big cheap car challenge, like a road trip with multiple people and multiple cars
Watch the top gear Africa tour
muizebrokjes hahah I’ve seen that multiple times
Hey I saw you in the 455 bhp shed in Stratford, it was soooooo cool!!!!!!!
Guys, just paste 455 bhp shed into youtube. You will get it when you see it
This is the funniest video you guys have put out in a while, love it!
We need a Top Gear with Alex, Matt Watson and Chris Harris.
And Kimi Raikkonen as some sort of stig
Should have put it on gumtree
And Doug Demuro....... "THISSSSS"
no the British guy from throttle house instead if chris harris
You should make a series where you keep buying cars and then selling them for profit until you reach a certain amount!
You should watch wheeler dealers
@@TH3L3G3ND I'd rather watch this, they are a lot less annoying than Mike Brewer.
FFVoyager true but Ed china is interesting to listen to I guess
Carthrottle we love you! You guys are really making video's the community want! Really nailing the video's and the quality.
really like your videos mate. dont know why they are just very addictive 😁
Only just found this channel, absolutely love it guys ! Subscribed 😎🏎
The cheap car videos are great! Would be cool if you could do a rallycross conversion build/series tho 😁
I really like these challenges, keep it up, amazing work! Also, I´d say the music is a little bit too loud compared to the rest of sound in the video
I’m new here & this came up in my recommendations and he’ll I’m glad it did bc this was a really good video- the private calls saying “cock” was way too funny lmaooo
loving this series !!
Why are you ruining my much needed sleep by uploading now!!!! Love it!
AND WE INTRODUCE TO YOU..... THE NEW TOP GEAR
It will never beat og top gear, but this better than those idiots on the new top gear.
Grand tour is the new top gear
@@sosaaaa22 Top gear USA, The Grand Tour is brilliant.
LOL
I love those cheap car vids. Keep em comin!
This 2 video series was very useful and informative and mirthful!!!
How abount you flip enough cars to afford to fix the aircon in Miles. Win Win for Alex then.
I guess one could call that... *_Flippin' hell_*
These videos are so entertaining, you should really do some more of selling/buying cars like these or even more serious ones to raise the profit.
Love this video made me laugh! Some of those blokes sounded like murders 😂
ROFL! woman returning to car after doing shopping: alex, eating an icecream: wanna buy a volvo?
Brilliant, you guys are onto something here 😁
U guys are the funniest man, love these typa vids🤣
Cool videos keep them coming, really enjoy watching them.
In this video, Alex becomes a ShReWd NeGoTiAtOr
I think the sweetspot is at £1500, haggled.
Videos like these are way more entertaining than other KZheadrs reviewing super cars !
The phone calls had me dying! keep flipping cars!
“So..... so you don’t want a Volvo” “No” “Awww”
Amazing what a detail does even for a cheap 'neglected' car 😂😂😂 Those phone calls though. Also hate waiting for selling a car lol
great videos...loving the buying sheds and selling :)
Keep up the great work thanks for the awesome content
Actually licked the snow foam. Lol.
Only found this channel a few days ago, I’ve been missing out
Keep at it man love these. Who do you use as insurance with having the car for such a short time?
Your awesome, love your energy, keep it up fella

Roses are red Volvo is blue This is the car I'm selling to you
Roses are red Volvo is blue The phone's ringing "Hello?" "Cock!"
Buy a car for £250 and sell it for more, work your way upto 5k
You guys remind me of myself with the sort of thing ive been doing on my own with old cars for years now.. just without all the banter and KZhead uploads I've just turned 40 and i still enjoy acting a like a twat😎 keep these uploads a comin!
you guys are brilliant, you should be the hosts of top gear
