That guy on the phone was far too hostile to drop it from £1000 to £700! How the hell did you manage that?!

I knew it - he pumps iron ! Never known anybody who pumps iron who doesn't have a serious personality issue.....

Wait do you earn 1k daily???

My car is an automatic with a small engine and it's fabulous. Actually offended at the comment that they're shit 😂

Just saw the rust on the arches, Maybe not!

Go for the Suzuki.

There is no way that passed a legitimate MOT 8 months ago....someone's been taking it to their uncles garage for the last couple of years atleast. 😂

how about u make the crhis fix fixes your new daily itl be pretty amazing

lol my grandpa has one just like this in venezuela

Regarding the coolant, that bottle is the over flow bottle, it shouldn't be filled, always check the water level on the cap on top of the radiator

“ Yh mate I’ve got a quarter of a million pounds worth of stock and this is the only car people are ringing about “ stock >>>> an old focus estate and some old containers

Surely there is milage in a 'Car Throttle welder' being bought to attempt some function over form repairs. Also, 'Battery looks new'....? I'd say original, when did you see a Panasonic battery for sale in the UK?

Good video. But I do just want to point out, that "coolant tank" isn't a coolant tank. It's an called an expansion tank, basically it just houses the overflow from the system. Hence why it's bottle top is just a pop off cap, instead of the standard pressurised system where a pop off cap wouldn't be much use. These systems are very common in most, if not all, Japanese/Korean cars in both petrol and diesel engines. The coolant actually goes in the radiator under that metal cap, which you also should push down an twist to open and to check the level there just has to be coolant visible. Good luck with it though.

"how are we just finding cars with rust" Boi you live in England land😂😂 what a question

guarantees in life: death taxes terminal rust on a ford or suzuki

Is car covered in Alex's drive the 944?

wow - you poor UK people. I have NEVER seen a car that rusty here in Oz.

5:48 how they put completely unrelated “Audi golf Astra corsa” in the title of the Subaru listing to rank higher in searches 😂😂

15:28 reveal

*it has a V6!* "oooh, 2.5L? 3.0L???" ..."2.0L" ...why so many cylinders for only 2.0L? :o what's the advantage of having more cylinders for a smaller displacement than some 4 cylinder engines of the same era? ...I'm guessing it was just so suzuki could put "V6" in big letters on the advert :P

Daily for what?? Where will you be going in lockdown?

That's car becoming so expensive in my country

Alex! Do a video where you stuff chicken wire into the rust hole and putty & paint over it to "fix" the rust bucket

“Facebook is the end of the world” could not have put it better myself

Jack: “Ford Escort 1.6 Fy-neice? Finesse?” 🤣🤣🤣

what happened to miles ??????? @carthtrottle

you guys are so lucky. for that price in india you can get only Maturi 800 - _ -.

Hello John gotta new motor!

Is this not built on a ladder chassis type design? If so that rust would pass a mot as its not structural for that type of frame.

You could have gotten a hyundai tucson from 2004, its amazing!

How on earth is he watching ww2 documentaries being half german, half english?!?

"gumtree is fancier", yeah I know british gumtree is different, but it cant be that different.

Me watching this video AFTER watching the Vitara video

13:03 That's the downside of having clip-on OEM fender flares. The wet debris are clogged inside those flares and eats its way out of the wheel arches.

Captain swivel seats should be a series

This channel has become boring

5:43 i love how it says audi holf astra corsa in the ad 😂

Save the vitara alex

The name needs to be "Archie" after the rotten arches

Those backlights sticking out reminds me a lot of the group b MG Metro.

Turn it into an "Escudo" Pikes Peak replica!

I love how the ad that came up was the AA repair ad.

"I've got quarter of a million quids worth of cars for sale" Nothing in the yard worth more than a few hundred quid.

Nice little rig, would have loved to see the Forester as well.

There's always a moment in videos where you remember Alex isn't a normal sized human when something relevant is shown for scale. That barbell looks like an 18 wheeler axle compared to him.

Body on frame, rust on the body doesn't affect the MOT? As long as the frame is structurally sound? Or at least that's how it used to be

Seeing as Alex has a phobia of rust , why don't you use the £300 you saved on the car and enroll Alex on a welding course, I'm sure he'd love it. Keep up the good work.

I've seen that nissan when I was looking for a car

Transit owners be like "call that rust?"... Stop messing about, get a MIG and weld in some new panels.

I hope everyone who sees this gets rich this year 💜

I’ve got a sidekick, amazing little truck, automatic 1.6 l 4 door. Amazing what they can do

Those arches may not fail an MOT as they are not structural and you can put tape on them to cover it for the test.....

why are cars so much cheaper than in the US

PLEASE DO! Cheap van challenge! 😄👍

Should've tried for a Pontiac of any stripe.

"I'm Ron Burgandy?"....classic reference. Love that film

This thing deserves to be saved like the octavia, am i right!! You've got a ton of video material in your hands there!!

That forester tho...

This is destiny

I used to drive my mother's 3rd gen 2.7L V6 Grand Vitara every time we cross the border (I own a CL7 Accord Euro R at that point) and that car is pretty good when it goes offroad and due to my nature of work at that time (I was a fruit distributor manager), I frequently needed to enter muddy fruit plantation and to look at fruits straight from the farm and the Vitara served me well when my mum doesn't drive it for close to 5 years before we sold it off as we don't need it anymore.

Please make a video or series fixing the car! Thanks guys

Cars in Germany are more expensive than the UK now. Or rather cars in the UK are super cheap. I think just because the market for RHD cars is limited so they're a bit cheaper.

Classic car for £500

looks so cool

Exercising cose you short?! No complex there :D

U need a fat boy

Is this what ducking English people thing is too content???

I don't like cars...but love the channel :D

Hey guys, can you do something like a cheap rally car challenge ? Cheers :)

Jack: “SOMEONE ORDER A FINESSE!!!???””” Alex: not now jack....

Do a video about cycling

14:58 Yikes..

Please make a video on fixing that car! xD

Where the heck do you get the money to buy the cars every week.

fipost.info/show/videot/rMSGyIGOcG-GoYQ.html thats a good friend that haha ;)

Wow, what a croc. Whole thing looks very low-rent before you add in the rust.

Hiiiii

"I want to do some haulin'" - hmmm, I wonder, after Brexit :D Enjoy your island!

I'll buy it from you in 3 months :)

Why are cars so cheap in the uk.Is it because of rust or running costs are too high?

How can you not love the Figaro?! It's adorable! 😭

Just wondering, can you guys do a video on which sites is better when looking for private buy ? I've noticed you guys always don't want to go to Facebook. Are there any tips ?

Hi, if you don't need it after the MOT expires i give you 100 pounds and i will take it to my country to use it on the hills. I hope you are interested in my "offer" :D . Have a great year. Greetings from Romania.

Dodgy salesman who is trying to pass off a car for 1000 when it won't pass a mot

15:24

wish i could turn back time and save our vitara from being turned into a bushbasher by my step brother

Ehh get the rust done and that'll go on forever, absolute tank

shoulda got the subaru, at least it would last ya longer than 4 months lol! Those foz are kinda the exceptions to subaru average reliability reputation.

I wouldn't touch a v6 Vitara, the v6 in the Vitara and tracker are listed as throw aways, Ive replaced two that locked up at under 100k miles for customers. The i4s in both are great,last a long time and can be rebuilt easily and cheaply. Also, the rust is most likely a ton worst than what you realize, these tend to have nothing left under all that massive plastic trim. As for your "crunchy" feeling rack, it's most likely not the rack, these have a short steering shaft between the column and rack that has two universals on it, the angle of both universals is around 70° "very tight angle", and any wear whatsoever in those universals cause very "crunchy" feeling steering, same thing, I've replaced quite a few of those too, fairly cheap part" 65 USD" and not hard to get to, to replace.

I think you've gotta save this thing

Are you going to fix it up?

Today cars like this one are more expensive in Germany...

Missed a trick not getting the Grand Vitara 'Sport'! I have an 02 (next gen from yours) 3 door 1.6 manual and it is the best daily you could ask for. The interior is exactly the same, love 'the import test' every time someone else drives it and turns the wipers on at the first junction they come to...

C'mon Britain, you gotta weld these things back together and keep them on the road! Can't go scrapping 'em just for some measly old rust! :D

Will Look like pablo escobar now

Would be cool video but the emphasis on the gym and working out made it awkward to watch. Dislike from me

You should get him a audi 80 these cars are not that rusty ;)

''Escorts are cool.''

Now we need a restoration series like the Skoda Octavia one

That "im not selling it and buying it" line is the best thing I've ever heard
