Anyone hear the AA story when Taylor bought a Range for £850 ?
Something didn’t seem right there to me.
If someone paid £8500 for a car 6 months previous with no problems and then had it up for sale for £1k. You knew it was worth £10k maybe but offered £850. Doesn’t sit right with me.
I'm not sure why you expect youtube folk to be truthful about costs etc. They exist to tell stories, so I wouldn't get too hung up on the detail.Something didn’t seem right there to me.

Alex and Taylor seem particularly prone to this. I can only assume the sellers want something gone and fancy seeing their face on YT for 5 minutes.
Those deals are not available to ordinary punters, obviously.
That one did seem fishier than usual though.
Indeed. Any car with any sort of issue is going to have a limited market - and if you are weren't desperate for the money it might be worth letting the car go for nothing than risk selling it for 'something' to some random off Facebook who might take you to small claims court even though you put 'spares or repair' in the advert.

Was this in a video or a podcast? I can't remember seeing this. Something didn’t seem right there to me.

I did wonder at the time how Taylor manages to get so many absolute bargains.

I do like him though, I think he adds a lot to the AA channel.

It's a clever tactic to stop you scrolling! I've seen a few others do the same; might be worth trying sometime! Here's another recent thumbnail from Becky's channel that employs the same technique ...
Yet curiously, whilst I watch a lot of automotive content on YT, I've never seen one of her thumbnails or been offered one of her videos. Here's another recent thumbnail from Becky's channel that employs the same technique ...Doofus said:

He’s currently V8 swapping an old 3 series and it’s a great watch. https://youtube.com/@boqer123?si=ALO4xsDbjOuKYwp5

God the whole Nurburgring track section was unbearable, turned it off at that point. Very childish.
I'm sure it gets them more views overall, but 'childish' is just the word to use, none of them are kids anymore so need to act their age, and they produce good content when they do, which should be better for the long term as everyone will get bored of the antics eventually.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
