Never Buy a Car From This City

🔴 Get 20% off Car Vertical using code 'TDC'!

We're here in the dodgiest city in the UK with one mission: to buy a crew car for less than £5000. And here's the catch – we can't leave until we've secured the deal. OK, Birmingham isn’t the worst city. But, if you’re in the UK, everyone will tell you NEVER to buy a car from Birmingham. In fact when you type in on Google ‘never buy’, the third result is ‘a car from Birmingham. But how bad could it really be?

First seller was probably going to sell you a moody car with a cloned VIN. Then the cameras appeared and he disappeared.

Having lived in Birmingham in the past, the problem and reason why there are so many negative reviews for car purchases in the area, is partially due to the fact that its full of here today gone next week car supermarket type garages (or car supermarket garages that sell you a dodgy car one week and then when you go back, you find they've changed the name and signage slightly and are telling you its now a totally different company even though the staff are the same - I experienced this a few times). Buying private sale in Birmingham probably isn't that much worse than buying elsewhere.

Tried buying a car from Leicester, he showed us an hour late and told me I lied about the booking time even though it was in the text. Car was filthy, the bumpers and lights damaged, bonnet scratched to high heavens and the clutch was nearly gone, he listed it as immaculate. Would never even look at a car from Brum, Bradford or Leicester anymore.

As someone who lives near Birmingham, I can confirm Dudley is not a part of Birmingham

I used to do pre-purchase vehicle inspections in Birmingham and if a dealer wasn't there at the time booked I would tell buyer to walk away because if the dealer can't be bothered to turn up on time to sell you the car they certainly are not going to bother to turn up at all if you have a problem with it

I tried the same a few years back, almost bought a Land Cruiser in Birmingham thinking I was going to bust the myth 😂. Was the dodgiest setup I’ve ever seen in my life. Left the moment I could get away 😂

1. Delete the egr with a blanking kit and coolant bypass. The egr will fail and dump the coolant….
2. Change the diff and transfer box fluids asap. I’ve not come across many that have had this done.
3.flush the gearbox and swap the filter. This will help it live longer.
4. Be careful with the detachable tow bar. There was a recall that replaced them with fixed units due to detachment failures…..
5. There are upgrade modules to replace the cd changer in the glovebox with a good wired connector for crappie & android devices.

I think it''s a testament to everyone involved in TDC that although the channel is something like a month old everything seems like you guys have been doing this for years. Production, presenting, audio... It's all great!

Straight away I thought luck lads, talk about needle in a haystack 🙂

I bought a car from selly oak, mint Jag XJ (x351) 6 years old and 12k miles. Still got it 8 years later. Never missed a beat. £23k paid

You should definitely try and get the Buick Roadmaster

Loving the new channel guys, it's nice when a channel is run by good mates, you can tell Edwin and Will get along REALLY well.

That flag is the FFNF ensign. Maybe the car was pre-owned by a french ww2 vet.

B’Luton, Bradford, Burnley, Bolton, Birmingham. Basically anywhere that begins with the letter B

I've bought a car from Birmingham and after 3 years and 3 times it's original value I'm still funding it like it's an ex wife with child support payments! 😭 The guy I bought my car from was late, his garage was no better than a scrap yard. His internet wasn't connected so couldn't take a card payment and must of had a dodgy MOT as the car had 17 pass years! And also I had 2 Keys for different things!

I bought a mk1 golf sportline cab from dudley about 25 years ago. No history, 5 owners, dodgy location. My whole body told me not to, but I bought it anyway. Everywhere I took it (tyres/service/mot) said it was mint and like new underneath. Loved that car.

The next challenge is to buy one from Bradford and it's surrounding area
