@shona55123 жыл бұрын
Not necessarily. When I worked at a used car dealership, we had anywhere between 40-60 cars on the forecourt at any given time. Average price worked out around 13k, (500-800k in total) and we were selling 10-20 cars per week and bringing in another half trailer load of cars every week to keep the stock up. But we also had a back lot, for trade ins (like the Vitara) that weren't good enough for the forecourt, and they always got snatched up real quick because we just wanted rid of them. Having a lot of cars out front doesn't mean you haven't been able to sell them, it can just mean you've got a lot of space for a lot of different cars to ensure you have something for almost everyone. Granted, this was 2 years ago. His story could be different what with covid and all.

I own the 2 door version (SV420) with the 2L 4cyl (J20a) in Australia and i absolutely LOVE my Vitara. Still keeping it even knowing i just bought a brand new Jimny last month! 😅 Was awesome seeing Alex's enthusiasm for the Vitara, I'd love to see him fix it, keep it and modify it 👍 The 3rd gen Vitara's 2.7L V6 (H27a) is basically a bolt in swap for his older 1st gen SV620 Vitara, for a decent power increase and theres still plenty of aftermarket support for 4x4 mods for these old Vitaras around the world.

Quick PSA, just because a car has a valid MOT, it doesn't mean it is still road legal. You are still required to keep the vehicle in a safe condition.

Interestingly, a car only has to be roadworthy and have a valid MOT, which means you can legally drive a car you know would fail an MOT provided it is roadworthy, which is a far more limited definition - basically the lights and brakes must work, lights and windows should be clean. The car should also be maintained (so tyres have tread and air, washer bottle has fluid, brake and other fluids checked). So, in all likelihood, that car is road legal, although you do wonder how it passed an MOT 8 months ago!

@@drunkenhobo8020 Woah UK is strange, i thought we had strict vehicle inspections, but a MOT fail for broken fog lights is crazy. A lot of cars don't even have front fog lights, is that insta fail? I thought UK was pretty chill about vehicle modifications so this is weird.

Ironically, at roughly the same time the guys were filming this, I was also scouring the small ads looking for something with enough MOT to get me through lockdown. I ended up with a Mazda 323 1.6 shitbox with pretty much the same rust and coolant issues. Mine has MOT to March so I may have to learn to weld if lockdown is extended. 😂 Good job boys!

A friend recently wrecked a 1990 3 door Vitara due to a dead engine - not a spot of rust on it despite having been drowned in a river and sitting still for 7 years afterwards. A quick carb kit, oils and belts and it was re-registered and used on road for a couple of years before the his "boy" destroyed the engine... The thing is this was a Sydney car where things don't rust unless right on the sea front. In the end the shell was exported to the Middle East where apparently they're in great demand for off road use. I'd forgotten how badly things rust back home. Just today I replaced a radiator in our old 2001 3.0L Mazda Tribute. Again zero rust and all the nuts/retainers came right off. I miss many things but rust is NOT one of them...

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.
