As a rental Tennant I’d appreciate a landlord like you, We’ve lived in our current rental for 9 years now, and not a single thing has been done by the landlord, I spend money on it my self as I like a nice home, but could be asked to leave at any point. Keep doing what you do.

@volt8684 5 ай бұрын

U keep doing what you do too.i was a landlord for 10 yrs and made the flats lovely, however only one tenant ever looked after the places, the rest trashed the places. Refreshing you care.😅

This is exactly the kind of content I love to see on KZfaq! It's like getting a glimpse behind the scenes of a real car dealership. You've got a great balance of showing the fun parts of the job, like picking up new cars and checking out interesting properties, with the not-so-glamorous parts, like running around and dealing with repairs. Plus, your commentary is hilarious!

@normanhartill1424 5 ай бұрын

Your policy of selling a car which includes a decent amount of fuel is a great advert. Every used car (and one new one) I have ever bought was in the red zone. Keep up the good work!

Really enjoyable video as always Matt. I appreciate your approach towards both being a used car dealer, and being a property owner. You always seem honest, and have an attitude of ensuring that everything you sell is in a good condition and well prepared. Not only is this a great sign that you take pride in doing your work correctly to honour customers and to be an honest guy, from a business side I'm sure it saves a lot of the hassle that comes with doing things cheaply and to a poor standard. Any business or property owner should take note!

My brother has a similar XKR , in what I would say is an even better specification . British Racing Green , red leather , Jaguar split rim wheels , infotainment screen and performance exhaust. Similar mileage and he is only the second owner. He hardly uses it now and having seen your one and the price I think it might encourage him to finally part with it. The value was dropping for many years but the values are now climbing. I think other than the E Type , the XKR is the second best looking car Jaguar have made.

Mat Been watching your videos for over 12 months and would like to make 3 comments: 1) Your presentation and content is very professional and amazing. 2) Like your WONDERGRIP feature, you really need to do a walk round the vehicle. It might have Lansil tyres? 3) You don't need to rely on CAR VERTICAL in the last 12 months not one of the featured cars has shown up with any problems. Your own professional knowledge and expertise is far better than their algorithms and database. WELL DONE and KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING.

The property looks very smart, I agree about not renting out property you wouldn't want to live in yourself. I remember my grandparents had an outside toilet in their property in East Ham, East London, probably built around the same time. A shame you can't keep the XKR, but the video should be good.

Matt, no doubt you know, if you take a chimney breast out you need to brace the external chimney itself with an RSJ frame in the loft to support it, if you have not taken the chimney itself down. It's a heavy stack of bricks that can bring the roof down pretty damned quick if not braced and supported. Interesting XKR too. More of this content please. Happy Easter.
