I BIDDED £100,000 ON THIS MINI!

right so i want to buy another car for planet dreams and the car i've been wanting to buy for a long time i don't think i've ever had on my channel it's a mini cooper s but the late one with the turbo engine and i'm just on this online auction i've been looking around this morning and i found one online it's about to go through some it's got 14 minutes left to go it's uh cooper s 57 player it's got a registrar it's got some nice spec nice things going for it red stripes down the middle uh red leather interior by the looks of things as well a couple of little issues it says it's got an oil leak uh it's done 86 thousand miles which ain't bad uh it's got an mot until september next year it's all good really and i'm pretty sure it's got another issue the steering lock light on the dash is on the dashboard so it's probably got a steering full yeah it's currently on 1926 pounds it's got 13 minutes to go i'm going to bid in a bit of now i'm going to put a stupid bid on it because i really want to get the car uh so we'll let the timer run and uh we'll come back after the intro and hopefully win the car [Music] [Music] guys quickly before we get on this video to celebrate the launch of

hundred thousand pounds because i really want to get this car it seems a bit bonkers but let's just spit 100 grand hopefully no one bids 99 because uh it will mean that i will get it for that confirmed bid a hundred thousand pounds yeah let's just do it let's just do it the car books quickly go to enter edge the book value is 2 250 pounds we've just bid it a hundred grand on a mini guys it actually shows on the screen that you need to bid a hundred grand or more if you want to win the car three two one i want it 2 680 pounds so uh yeah we're gonna leave it for now come back to you in a few days time when the car rides and fingers crossed it's a nice thing [Music] yeah it's a proper nice car in it look at that i'm really pleased with i say really pleased with it i am pleased with it but i've just discovered something that i didn't actually know about it it's on the hp we'll talk about that when we get in the car and go through hpi in a sec but yeah it arrived last night we give it a little cleanup we've stuck hashtag on it stickers on the back and a little dream sticker on the rear as well and yeah it's very well described by one thing which i think could have been a mistake i don't know but like i said we'll talk about that in a sec uh what we'll do now is go for a little wander around let's show you what bit of damage it's got here and there and then we'll go jump in and go for driving it yeah let's have a little wander around first so yeah 1.6 turbo mini 57 play which is obviously a facelift car i've been really wanting to get one of these on my channel for a while specifically for planet dreams because i think they're amazing value for money i think that car looks so modern for its time but literally everyone that's looked at it so far all the boys in the yard like how is that a 57 player that looks that looks proper nice and it does it looks really good i love to look like the red and black combo the interiors i would say is it sakia orange interior i don't know exactly what the name of the color of the interior is but it should say on hbo when we look in a sec overall condition of the car like it's got a few marks not gonna lie ain't perfect uh there's a few marks on the wheels uh as we come around the rear we've got a nice hashtag on it stickers there as well around the back the the red the roofs red the twin red lines uh go the whole way through the body around the rear as well and you've got the twin exit exhaust at the back there as well again because it's effective it's got the newer rear lights a little chrome outer trims as well around the lights and that's all very nice now at the rear a couple of marks on the rear bumper one just down there and it's obviously got no rear window wipe off a little bit annoying i will try and source one of them before i give it to one of you lot and around the sides the overall body condition is pretty good like they even highlighted things like this in the ad which was really good so great the way they've described this car it has arrived as described by one thing which we will talk about in a sec that's a bit damaged there but it ain't horrendous for the age of the car and the mileage right now this is actually a mini main dealer park exchange car so it's quite a good way to buy a car uh they listed a few little issues with it one of them was an oil leak i mean there is a few little signs of maybe a little bit of will here and there but don't look too bad under there quickly check the oil cap yeah it looks alright obviously we need to check the oil level make sure that's good it looks like there's plenty in there doesn't it i mean it's hard to tell but it don't look like it's much sign of an oil leak under here does that yeah okay fair enough yeah i'm pretty sure i've had a mini with that light on the dash before and i don't think that's too much to worry about and then the horn is apparently not working and it seems like it's all right to me it's also apparently got a headlight warning light on the dashboard well i'm definitely not worried about that and then other things mentioned were like few blemishes around the body a bit of lack appeal on the front bumper which we know about and yeah just a bit of damage here in there all over the body which to be fair for the a for for the age of the car and the fact it's done 86 000 miles i don't think that's bad at all it's really difficult advertising the car for sale online and selling it unseen because everyone's opinion is different to me i think this car is alright and i'm actually really impressed with it but let's now get onto the hpi section of the video look how nice this car is inside like this lever interior is lovely even the shape of the seats to finish on the seats they've even highlighted a little bit of wear on the drive seat there which i don't think is bad at all like yellow paint or something on there but that's all right this car is it's wicked man uh so yeah hbi let's put up the hpi guys hpi guys so here we go here's the h5 for the car and you can see it's like a traffic light system i'll talk about this a lot on my channel uh green meaning good amber meaning okay and red meaning bad yeah and at the top there you can see uh insurance write-off guys this car is an insurance write-off now category d which isn't terrible you know category d cards ain't bad uh back in 2016 so it's a long time ago uh but i've just had a good flick through the ad and i can't see that it mentions that it's category d anywhere now i genuinely believe that that was just overlooked it's easily done surprisingly is easily done when you're dealing with so many cars especially it's a main dealer car they've got all these cars coming in and out all the time so i am defending them there's absolutely no it's not in their interest to sell me a car unseen that's categorized it's definitely definitely been overlooked i've just tried calling them to to speak to the the guy that deals with uh the trade and pi exchange cards i haven't managed to get hold of him yet i think he'll just say to me calvin you can have a full refund which i don't really want uh i suppose then they'd have to re-auction it and it would sell for less money but i've paid over the odds for this car which is a little bit annoying i mean we'll go back to the book value you can see there we looked at it earlier in clean condition uh in the trade the value is 250 pounds and i've paid on the hammer what did i pay again all in delivered it's 2872 pound to be fair i think it looks a little bit low as well so i would pay a strong premium for this car because i did but not basement being categorized so i'll see what they say worst case i'm gonna have to give it back to him but i do really want to try and keep hold of it and i i don't know we'll see yeah we'll see now when i was building on this car i obviously put in a budget of a hundred thousand pounds i thought that'd be a great way to get a bit of traction on this video people can be like have you surely not been in a hundred grand in that car but when i bid it on i genuinely felt a bit attention i was like mate like it come up on the screen bid a hundred and hundred thousand and fifty pounds or more i thought imagine if someone actually outbids me or even bids 99 grand then i've got to pay 9950 pounds uh but yeah luckily they didn't let's go back to the screen recording my phone's ringing let's just ignore that but yeah it all makes a lot for a video didn't it so screen recording again plate transfer there is in amber that is nothing to be concerned about completely normal it just says it's had a previous previous play on it before all right not a problem it's gone back to its original reg four registers are clear stolen finance security watch condition inspected all right that's all good uh mini cooper s it's got eight former keepers so this is not a gem of a car it's cat d it's got eight former keepers it's got no service history it's got a bit of body damage but you know what for a video for planet dreams it's gonna be absolutely perfect we're gonna get this car nice and the end result will be it'll get serviced it will always be categorized unfortunately but it'll be a nice car at the end of it all right so eight form keepers bloody bar and black 1.6 engine and then we go to hpi spec check this is what is really important uh it's got a five star spec check this car is fifteen thousand four hundred eighty five pound new two thousand eight hundred twenty five pounds worth of optional equipment if we open up the optional list chili pack two thousand twenty pounds uh leather lounge 805 pound interior world redwood red um that's obviously this interior color and roof in body color the roof actually isn't in body color the roof is in the the additional the secondary body color which is red but again all them things are really nice and i think that has made me feel drawn to buying this car right i thought it would look good and it'd be quite a cool thing so nmr check national mileage register that's all clear so it's got no mileage discrepancies which is good market values it's basing it on 170 000 miles which i'm guessing would be the average mileage of the age of the car so that's not important mot details it's got an mot until september 2022 so that's all good all right we've not yet driven this car uh so i think that's what we need to do right now with paper drive see how it feels and we might even do draggy times in it as well right let's go we are off guys with half a tank of fuel in my mini cooper s retro car with my retro napko 54 uh hoodie on if you haven't treated yourself wanted to one of these yet it's my own brand if you grew up in the 90s like i did this was a massive brand back in the 90s i mean my brother lil we bought it a few years ago relaunched it it's all going really well and yeah this is our like layers for the london range all right put a link that in the description below now this mini is yeah i don't know what i was gonna say i love the way these cars drive they feel solid obviously mini is on is an offspring brand of bmw it does feel very bmw feels very german very solid and i don't know how how i've never had one of these cars i must have had one on my channel before surely how has this never happened i think uh the 1.6 liter turbocharged engine the supercharger obviously great engines with the turbos possibly a bit more tunable apparently a lot better on fuel different engine and setup altogether i've been there about 175 180 horsepower so not a massive amount of power feels quite torquey his car is completely stuck it ain't had no bits done to it so um it's not making any crazy noises or nothing like that let's go right up here up the horrible bumpy road try and work out devious these windows a little bit as well cal there's a fiat 500 that's like a wannabe mini in it that's like a fake italian mini i'm joking don't offend any bit 500 people i like p500 especially the abarth 500s as well so uh what was i going to talk about completely going out my mind now the lights on the dash yeah to the steering light the steering wheel works fine uh i'm hoping the steering knob don't just suddenly come on because that light would probably indicate that that might happen but i don't think it is and uh the headlight light that it said it's got it has got that as well which again i'm not too concerned about that it's not currently dark so that ain't gonna affect us over so far it's clicking into gear lovely and by the way then gear changes do feel really good i think that's just a mini thing that clicks in and out getting lovely around my favorite little bend quite talky quite punchy it's all doing as it should no clutch slip a little bit of a creaking noise somewhere which is a bit annoying but other than that guys it's a proper nice car right so uh what we'll do now is we'll quickly do draggy time to see how it performs on the dragon leaf yeah you know before we do draggy times i just remembered that on the listing of the car there was actually a lot more spec listed i'm guessing because it was a mini main dealer that they would have access to a wider range of spec on this car so if we go back to that put it on my screen here uh it's got a chilli pack automatic start stop feature 17 inch crown spoke alloy wheels i think they're really nice uh sport suspension free spoke sport steering wheel i suppose is standard on us on a facelift i don't know um mirror caps and roof in body color piano black interior trims sport button we need to find that sport button for the uh when we do aha there is down there definitely need that before we do dragon times um front fog lights car track by zen and headlights that's nice air conditioning interior light impact cd player and remote locking guys all right so yeah i thought i quickly throw that in there because i was a bit like it's got a five star spec check but didn't seem like i had a lot of spec did it right let's now go to dragon times count because you're not probably waiting for that uh what i want to try and do is get somewhere near the low sevens a car that would be amazing to beat would be the ep3 ep free civic type r uh that done it in 7.11 seconds i think yeah 7.11 seconds so i don't think it will beat that but that would be quite impressive if it did right so we're aiming for low sevens preferably below 7.11 let's see how we get on i'll put a sport button on first oh yeah let's go three two one come on cow i love that big speedo put down at the time yeah yeah 8.43 seconds we can definitely do better than that all right let's go again ready three two one come on minnie talks dear there i've got the traction control off this time solid through them gears done that speedo i'm gonna say again what feature that speedo is i love it they centrally mounted it just holds onto that traditional feature that the original mini's had i love that it's big and bold and right in front of your face there very good and we did just hit 20 to 70 mile an hour in drum roll [Music] it's quicker than the previous run but it wasn't as quick as i wanted it to be it was 7.93 seconds let me just do a couple more off camera and i'll be back during a second hopefully we'll get a bit lower than that yeah all right guys quickly complete change of plan we've fast forwarded a week or so now i've got the mini here behind me it's looking very good uh draggy times were great by the way 7.93 seconds i didn't actually go on to do any more runs because i was quite happy with that at the time that's slightly quicker than the abarth but not quite as quick as a golf gtd which is 180 horsepower same power as the mini i've changed my plan and my idea what i want to do with a mini uh because there's a car at binker that i would prefer to give away to you lot over the mini now that's gonna seem strange at the minute uh but you will understand why i'm quite fond of the other car or more fond of the other car than i am the mini the main reason is it's not because i dislike the money because it's a wiki car like look at it that is a seriously cool car but it's categorized and when i bought it i obviously didn't know it was categorized i am a little bit disappointed that it's categorized and i don't really want to give away a categorized car on planet a dream so if you want to be in for a chance of winning the car that's coming in the sunday's video uh i'll put a link to the mystery car uh products in the description below because it is a mystery car currently and if you want to find out what that car is come back on sunday i'm going to get a video live on sunday at six o'clock revealing the car that i've part exchanged this car against at finka all right so we basically bought a car off of myself it all makes sense on sunday all right uh so yeah thank you very much for watching hope you like the mini i hope you like this video if you did like this video do me a favor hit the like button hit subscribe if you're new to my channel for a new video every wednesday and sunday at six o'clock and if you're on instagram give me a follow on instagram at cameron's car dory i'll see you in my next video bye [Music]
