High Peak Autos Z3

I’ll watch this later. I’ve watched a lot of his posts. He does make me laugh with his over spends. He would be better off getting his hands a bit dirty and learning how to wield some spanners and could save some cash but I suppose with his turn over of vehicles not really practical. I really think he should give some of these cars a thorough inspection before buying but at what he does is a risk some you win and lots he loses in his vids from what I’ve seen but informative and entertaining all the same. Would I buy from him? He does come across as having a moral compass and doing the right thing for the customer, so a yes for the right car.
I quite like him. He seems to have a network of people to sort out the cars for him at quite reasonable rates. I suppose when you’re trading cars for a living you need to do the bare minimum to get them looking good and try not to lose money. He’ll do well to turn a profit on this one, but the 2.0 sounds great.

Been watching his stuff for ages, nice to see what he had done to the Z3 and to see the Warrington Zshed. Good guide to those looking to buy a Z3 and what they may well have to spend out on if they can't DIY the jobs. Interesting to see he paid £450 for that replacement roof, trip to Jack at Swansea would have had a new hood for £350 last time I looked.
Thanks for posting, most interesting.
My thought is that he bought the wrong car in the first place, being a "poverty spec" model; no leather seats, OBC, seat heating, cruise control or aircon.

Agree with @Ianmc regarding the poverty spec and that the interior was quite minging, he paid too much for it but at least he turned it around, would want to have the sill covers off it to see whats lurking behind and deal with that. It was a good buy for someone who could DIY all of the jobs required and the DIY route would have saved an awful lot of money.
As soon as I saw the cloth seats I lost interest tbh. Not worth near what he paid for it.

Probably more money to be made in sponsored YouTube videos than actually selling a car these days.
Watched a few car dealer videos lately and they all say the market has crashed and yet looking for a coupe for my wife recently the same cars are advertised for weeks if not months but no one seems to be willing to lower the asking price.
