It may not appeal to me on the beauty front , but see how we saved our 'buy to order' customer over £5000 over a main dealer !

Hey that's my IX !!!! I mean it really is. Picked it up yesterday. Thanks Reflex. Every thing he's said is correct ..... apart from it looks ugly. Ok maybe a bit.
Hi Gerry , so good to hear you've collected ok , how was your 200 mile drive home ?? Sorry i called your EV 'ugly' , but its just my opinion 🤪, nice bottom though 🤣👍👍 Best regards Jp
@@JonathanPorterfield Hell of a drive, motorways clogged, raining and potholes all over the place. Car was great. Will be getting the minor repairs done for a few hundred. Inspecting report was accurate. Had to wait a while for the right car. Lost three bids before getting this one. Love the colour. Thanks Jonathan for your videos and starting the dedicated EV broker business. The Reflex staff were patient over the 5 months I looked for it. Great outcome.
Nice to see you started to do screen capture. Good job
Thanks 👍 another video tonight at 6.30pm
Another great video and another happy customer 👏🏼 can you focus on the MG ZS trophy long range. Finding some real good value ones so would like to ones go through your auctions 🙏🏼👍🏼
Thank you 😊 for your comments, I will always try and feature an auction with a good spread of different EVs 😀
I have an ix50. Look better in the metal than in photos but it drives absolutely beautifully- like a space ship, air suspension, v powerful, excellent range, fast charging. Rear steering helps with turning circle.
Nice 👍
the details are better than most dealers
Thanks , its not rocket science, we dont need to be told its got 4 wheels and electric windows and 4 cuphoders , so ive always got straight to the point re condition 😀
Good video Jonathan. Nice that you put the link to the video of your purchase at the end. Everyone ought to watch that.
Thank you for watching 👍
Would be interesting to see what the low end of the EV market is doing too. Seems to be a massive supply of Zoe ZE50 at the moment for example. Leaf 40kWh too.
Ill do the next auction video from Shoreham Auctions, they have a good number of Leaf and Zoe 👍
re that front grill and look, I was told by a BMW petrolhead that those beaver teeth grills are the ones the Chinese market likes!
Really ??
Great video mate I was maybe looking at this vehicle or the EV6 next (not sure if it’s turning circle would work in the Leicester train station 😂) but good to see what I’d be looking at under a dealership price. Ps in Spain atm for 5 days got the red eye tomorrow night into EMA 😂 Cheers
Yea this BMW looks like a barge in a tight space , i remember Leicester train station being tight to drive in and out of !
Usual great quality video Jonathan. Can you tell if the car is still covered by the manufacturer's warranyif applicable?
Yes , all warranties will be valid from date of registration, and regardless of owners.
@@JonathanPorterfield Thank you.
Never understood the auctioneer style. Ip bidder bid biddy biddy bid Forty four......
🤪🤪👍
Can your software do two separate audio channels then you can balance them afterwards? I think a nice job with a smart repairer on the bodywork but leave the wheels, then you wouldn't feel you had to treat it with kid-gloves. I park on the street and always get paranoid about my wheels [which are indeed no longer perfect].
Sadly i can't split the sound , i was killing the sound on the lap top , but i should have altered the sound on screen from the auction house !
At 6:21 bidding on the classic Ioniq was well below CAP. 🤔
Yes , but needed some work being a grade 4 , but well under CAP !
Does the auction house tell you if the manufacturer's warranty is valid or not? Probably not an issue with this purchase but might be important with a Kia for example that might not have had services every 10k miles?
As dealers we do our research BEFORE we bid on any vehicles, this includes ( in my head anyway) what warranty is remaining. I dont worry about services etc , as NOT changing a pollon filter checking brakes , will not invalidate the warranty on any ev , dont believe everything in a manufacturers blurb. We had a e niro with noisy gearbox , 2 years old , 20k miles , never been serviced ,Kia changed the gearbox and motor under warranty , nothing to pay , they never asked to see the service book !
You were right: the audio was terrible. Couldn't hear a word you said during the auction.
I know , wont happen again 😒
Any model 3 standard range plus around 50k miles with heat pump Going under £19,000 at auction?
Bought a 69 plate M3 standard range yesterday 69k miles for £14,400
69 won’t have a heatpump
Are the cars at auction guarrantee to be smoke free?
Yes , if any odours this is stated in the condition report
nothing to do with cars, the edge web browser, whats the extension for the magnified glass.
That was on the Aston Barclay web site , it's their program 😀
@@JonathanPorterfield i did find a app on the edge website. called lensify
You can throw away retail guide price on electric cars.
You wonder if the auctioneer is needed at all really as all the information is on screen..
maybe you should have redone the sound and cut the auctioneer off. he is too close to the mic.
But then me in the bottom corner my lips would be out of sync with a voice over ( probably a good thing many would say 🤣)
@@JonathanPorterfield you would have a message on screen saying had to dub it. you seperate the audio from the video, then play the video and tape a new audio
@davidsworld5837 next one will be better 👍
Sorry to disagree but I think the IX range is hideous 😩
I agree , i personally think they look ugly , my thumbnail is sarcastic 🤣
@@JonathanPorterfield 😆😆
I don't get why bmw went down the big nostril route
Me neither , and to think of all the focus groups and board meetings that finally looked at the iX and signed it off !
You kinda look like Matt Letissier 😑
Ive just looked him up , i suppose i do 'a bit' 🤣🤣
He has obviously too much money he should have just paid retail and deliver to his house
£5000 is £5k ! The reason some folk are wealthy is they have always looked for value !
Good luck getting it repaired or selling it a thermal runaway
Sorry to disappoint you, the repairs are cosmetic and the car runs like a dream.
