Hi everyone, Alex here! Just letting you know that we've read the many comments from you telling us you're not happy with the price that was negotiated for the Mira. Taylor has spoken to previous owner Lewis and we've renegotiated back up to £1500. While we love getting a good deal on a car, we now know that the Mira deal was simply too good, and we're sorry you feel we took advantage! On face value, the car needs a full respray, brakes, tyres, suspension, bushes etc but we did not know about the diff, nor the incredible condition of the underside, which makes this car even more special! To everyone watching and who supports the channel (especially Lewis), we're sorry you feel let down. We love buying, making videos and going on adventures, but we do occasionally make mistakes / misjudge situations, which is always brought to our attention. So thanks everyone for helping us be better! Cheers guys, Alex

I feel they're exploiting there fan base a bit. £2000 for that is a bargain. It's not like you cant afford that

For a turbo Kei car with no rust, I hope you go back and give Lewis at least £400 extra for it. Even at £2k it was a steal!

As mentioned by a few others £1500 was already a bargain it would cost nearly that to get it imported do the right thing lads and give the guy the difference he obviously wanted to help you guys out and offered it to you for a good price all the good work you guys do I got every faith you will put this right

I think Taylor should keep that as he found it, negotiated it, collected it and is clearly super excited by it. Alex should keep looking and get a pick up for the 3 way tour.

Great little car and excited to see more videos on it, but fucking hell Taylor you fleeced that poor lad. Even for you that's out of order, for a turn-key car with such a clean underbody the agreed-upon £1500 was far more than fair.

Love you guys and love your cheekiness when trying to negotiate a bargain, but unfortunately have to agree with consensus on this one, £1,100 is a bit of a low blow, especially as the lad had to give it up due to a “change of circumstances” and clearly loved it enough to get it shipped from Japan in the first place. Please listen to your fans on this one and do the decent thing ❤️

Come on lads don't fleece the poor guy, either give him the £400 or give him the car back once it's restored!

Boys come on,it was cheap anyway. If any item is worth what it’s advertised for just pay the man you will get a bad rep boys this isn’t bargain hunt 🤦‍♂️

£1500 was already a solid price to begin with and he probably set it at that because of who you are and him being a fan. To then get another £400 off for seemingly no other reason than to brag about it on video is a real kick in the teeth. It will get to the point where your followers won’t bother selling anything if the end result is lowering the price further and you publicly bragging about it afterwards.

Taylor really took the piss haggling him down further. That car's worth 1500 all day, every day.

Lewis absolutely deserves £2000 for that car. Do the right thing and pay the man what he wanted. It's worth that much all day long, don't take advantage of someone clearly in a desperate situation.

I feel sorry for the guy that sold this car!

I think you need to have some fun with it, deffo to the 'ring with 4 people in it. But then give it back to the poor lad you ripped off, cos 1100 quid was a damn steal!

Fan from Japan here. So excited to see the 軽(Kanji meaning light, which symbolizes the Kei-car.) on your channel. Seems like you got the earlier iteration of the 4th gen of Mira, which was the last gen you could get one of these TR-XXs. Those patterns you see on the floormats and seats were all the rage back then. Also, these were designed in the era when manufacturers actually had a lot of money, so that explains how well-built it is. In fact, some of these albeit in small numbers still roam around the countryside. The piece of paper with the old man was a free ticket to take a course to learn how to use a PC, which is a cottage industry of sort. (The old man shows an example of someone struggling with the PC. )Its likely that the dealer man threw it in as part of the premium service deal. I seldom comment on videos so sorry for the long comment, but I genuinely enjoy your content! Best of luck to you all , from Japan. (P.S. Apologies for my English as its not my first language )

Pay the fella his £400 or fix it right up and give it back. You well and truly fleeced the guy.

Yeah , sorry guys. That was a bit mean. You should have stuck to the £1500.

Didnt like that Taylor mate. Lad obviously fallen on hard times and you agreed£1500. Bit shitty to be honest.

Comments aren't happy! Resto the Mira and give it back to the lad!

Bit rough on the guy negotiating it down so much. Do a full 180 and fix it up, have your fun with it then give it back to the original owner? Everyone wins

Not cool guys. I'd say the young lad selling the car probably needed the £400 difference more than you do. You should pay him the price you agreed.

Sounds like you fleeced the poor lad 😮 why not just pay the 1500.

The lad wanted 'around' £2000 for the KEI car, which compared to anything else they had found was cheap. He agreed to take £1500. Beating him down to £1100 is a bit shitty. Only getting 55% of the original asking price is a poor deal for the seller. General consensus in the comments is you should have given him 'around' £2000, not £1000.

You boys did the lad dirty for that price he already said hes going through financial hardships and you haggled him even more.

Bit of a shyster move knocking the already reduced price right down. The owner should have told Taylor to bolt.

Not a big fan of the way they haggled a fan of the channel for £400, considering that seems like an insignificant expense for the channel. He was already selling it for less than its worth. I get that they have to consider the financial aspect, but it does seem unfair.

Haven't watched MCM for years. I'd leave it standard, fix up the suspension, maybe up the power. take it on a tough road trip. But first, pay the guy the extra £900.

There is something as getting a good deal ... and ripping some one off. Lewis deserved that 1500 at the very least and you would have gotten a super deal. That extra 400 seemed rather brutal. Reading these coments now, clearly not the only person here thinking thise. Great to read.

I think they robbed the bloke for that car, did they turn up with bats or something?

Marty and Moog are awesome too.

Guys... pay the man the additional 400. You really ripped him off. He definitely needs the money more then you guys

yeah, no, this is genuinely disappointing to see from you guys. I think the right thing to do here would be to go back to Louis with 400€. this is just scummy. 1500£ that you agreed with him on was dirt cheap to begin with, as you said yourselves.

Awww, i hoped to see the actual lunch segment, like the kebab run in the old days

Perfect car for Alex, its like a normal size car to him

tbh i felt 1100 was extremely low , happy i came down to the comments to see everyone else is on the same page, do the right thing and at least pay him the 1500 or the 2 he asked

I usually love these guys, the videos are really fun but they truely robbed that guy. What a bargain to get it for 1500 but haggling 400 more off the price is crazy and disrespectful, especially because its a subscriber… they should pay him back the £400 or give the guy the car back with fresh paint and looking nice, that would be an awesome thing to see.

You guys robbed Louis.

Please, please, please collaborate!! Early MCM was the best ever

Pay the lad the £400, £1500 was the agreed price.

Louis got done dirty

You did Louis dirty by reducing the price even more after you agreed to 1500. Once a car salesman, always a car salesman. EDIT: Good on the guys for rectifying the situation. I'm not the deal police and I would still love it if you tried to get the lowest possible price, just in some cases maybe haggle as much as you can but then pay a fair-ish price to the seller if the situation calls for it. Looking forward to the kei car roadtrip 👍.

Just the random screaming 😂😂😂😂 what an imitation of Alex

Very nice car. But the price stumped me a bit when you talked about it. Reading the other comments the sentiment seems to be the same across the board. 1500 was a really good price, hell even at 2k it would have been a steal for that condition. I'd really try to make things right with the seller. However that may be is up to you guys.

Daylight robbery for 1100. Wow.

You robbed that poor chap getting this for £1100.

I feel for Louis man🥺

you should fix it up, paint it, and give it back to Louis.

fantastic car. Great to see MCM involved. I have the feeling the car was slightly stolen though, off the lad who sold it. As he only parted with it due to changed circumstances and loved the car: Do it up and give it back to him after you had your fun with it.

Not a big fan of having Top dead center constantly spoiled, but I guess it's inevitable for now..

Ain't no way you got Daihatsu Mira😁😁 Marty just came in Cheryl's mistery box after seeing this😂😂 one of the biggest projects for MCM👍

I get that getting money off is a challenge, but this car was worth way more than the 2000 he originally wanted and taking it for 1100 is just a little unfair. Especially with the amount of money being spent on camera so often.

I'll agree with the sentiment here. The guy is a fan, he loved the car so much but had unexpected circumstances and was asking for such a low price. 1500 was already a killer deal, lowering it more and boasting about it is just mean. You're a growing channel, you've got the money, give the chap what he was asking for, be better than this.

FASTEST Click ever😅 love those little toy cars😂

Brilliant to see you're continuing to promote TDC and work together towards a shared success.

Go back and give him the agreed price. Bad press and taking the pi%# out of people is not a good look. That’s worth more in parts. As you said it’s spot on.

Lads pay attention to these comments, and make it right.

What's so weird is I have just finished watching James may in Japan and there was an episode with Kei cars. The universe has synchronised

MCM got me into the UKposts car scene. I love the fact that these two channels have made contact. The future of car entertainment on UKposts is looking bright!

Guaranteed, there is a perished component under the bonnet that is basically unobtainium in the UK, and it costs £1000+ duties+ shipping from Japan. No one is letting that car go for £1100 without there being a massive obstacle to passing the MoT.

Surely pay him £1500 for it. Another £400 off that was super snakey.

I own a Daihatsu Charade (L251) inspired by The Skid Factory, and also Marty's nugget they drove to the centre of Australia. I absolutely love it, in all its rusty, dented, nuggety glory.

Awesome, might car mods is a good challenge. They are modifying a copen as well for the track.

Shoutout to Lewis for taking the financial hit to make this episode possible.

Wow that is dirty! I hope he got some sort of benefits or discount off something because that was worth 1500 all day. That was stolen at 1100 😮

Alex: Look it's bent in the middle Taylor: Same 😅

Mighty car mods!!!! Literally watched every episode for the last ten years 👍👍👍 the best 4 wheel drive channel on interballs😂😂😂

Clean it up and restore it. Under seal it so it’s perfect. Do some mods, have some fun, make some vids. Then give it back to the guy you got it from.

You boys should feel bad, you’ve mugged the poor guy off with £1100

I bloody love mighty car mods!! My favourite UKposts channel by far 😁 they are the best 4x4 channel on the interbals

Nice. I had a letter printed in Autocar back in the day complaining that the Beat wouldn't be available in the UK.

Think you need to repay that lad the money you conned him out of. I'm really going off this channel, I've already binned the podcast for it's cheap humour. Sorry guys but you took advantage of your position as UKpostsrs and ripped that lad off. Pay him what it's worth!

I think You guys did nothing wrong. Chap could said „No”, but he didn’t so to bad. Keep up the good work and don’t let people make you fell bad 💪

Skipped straight to the end to see if Jack and Ethan are teased

Auto Alex & Mighty Car Mods collab would be insane!!!

Worth more than £1500 any day. Please don’t ruin it or break it just for fun on the off road coarse

Marty and Moog would never have beat an extra £400 off the price.. let alone from a subscriber.. You agreed to the price, and then you haggle that poor lad and are smiling about it on camera what a great steal that car was... from a SUBSCRIBER... Come on guys that £400 is not going to change anything for you guys just pay the price you agreed on and enjoy the car, this series will make you alot more than your money back..

Please give this car the full treatment. Ice blasting the lot!. Fair play for getting MCM to contact you back!

We can all agree we need more Kei on this channel! Oh and Ethan has an SMX, could be a dragrace? ;)

Not a single comment mentioning the absolute LEGENDS that is Mighty Car Mods

I feel a bit sorry for the person who they bought it off. The guy has been had big time. That car is worth far more than what you paid. Do the car up have your fun with it then give it back to Lewis. It is not like you need the money. Please don't forget where you guys came from. Don't become just like the others.

8:24 Mightycarmods: "We challenge you to buy a Kei car for £2k." Rory: "Instructions unclear, accidentally bought a Bentley Continental GT."

Should have paid 2k for that. You've got the money. You abused your clout and pulled the guys pants down. Shame on you..

Saw all the prices online, beat your seller way down, then gloated about it? Maybe he was happy just to get rid of it, but it came across like Taylor ripped him off, and then rubbed it in his face.

I used to have one of the UK spec avanzatos. Amazing little cars 660cc 16 valve, turbo charged with intercooler, JB-JL engine, 64bhp, revs to 8500rpm, boosts to 14psi. kerb weight of just 768kg - 0 to 60mph in 8.5 seconds! Mine was 4-wheel-drive via a push rod on the transfer case.

This is the greatest car you have ever had on your channel. Like ever.

Yes, the car needs some work but as the guy told you, he’s going trough a rough patch and needs to sell it. Trough UKposts views and sponsorships you will make loads of money so you could have just paid him the £2k asking price. I’m sure he needed that money more than you lot.

I used to get slightly annoyed every time Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers used to stripe up some poor, impoverished medical student, looking to sell their banger so they could buy their parents a present for all their sacrifices (for example), and he'd come away gleefully shouting at the camera that he'd "stolen it", carping on about what a great negotiator he was...happened about every other episode! You guys do it once, and get hammered for it! I guess that's the power of instant feedback on content - which is a great advantage. The content is great, and love the channel.

I was kinda annoyed when Taylor was so smug about his haggling. And glad to see the comments that I am not the only one...

If you do a road trip with the TDC guys, maybe try and find Aussie or Japanese themed destinations along the way? At least you can let Edwin loose on it and do some cleaning 😂

MCM… chopped!!! They also got me into UKposts … Also, listen to ‘these city lights’ by moog!!! Have that in the background… awesome tune

Mighty Car Mods and yourself are by far my 2 favourite youtube channels and the fact that the 2 channels are coming together makes me super excited for the future! I have watched your channel since day one and I followed your journey for a long time when you where at Carthrottle and I have watched @mightycarmods nearly from day one as well! Seeing a kai car on your channel makes me super happy as I've always had a soft spot for the little Japanese nuggets due to @mightycarmods! Although I do not own a kai car I do own a Mitsubishi Colt CZT as its alot of car for the money but its still small and Japanese. Love your channel, the podcasts and the videos! Keep up the awesome work and super excited! Love from myself from Thurso, Scotland!

This episode was awesome, never ever would I of thought that you’d make a video featuring Marty & MOOG from MCM, being a huge fan of the both channels and being an Aussie Fan, this has honestly made my day! Can’t wait to see what you do to the Mira, you’ll have so much fun in it! ❤

Getting major flashbacks of tying to tune these in Gran Turismo 4

Just freshen it up, future-proof it so it can be preserved as the cute rarity that it is, anything more than OEM+ as you discussed seems unbecoming in my opinion. I'm not as affected as other people seeing you get the deal you did but i do think an offer back for what you paid would be in order once you've had your fun with it. On the other hand... "Marge"? Really? Mighty was right there! I thought it'd fit perfectly given theme and irony involved! Keep at it, excited for what's next!👌

My dad was given a Daihatsu Move for free years ago and it was a proper giggle. I drove from Manchester through Wales to Cardiff and back and it cost £25 in fuel. Used to lift the back wheel on roundabouts as well 😂😂

Now you're talking my language! Let this show that you can stray from BMW and even from German underpinnings and still be happy. I love BMWs, but more variety is good! Cant wait for more on this nugget. And yes please collab more with MCM!

Mk1 mx5 eunos alloys fit 4x100 daihatsus perfectly 😉

One of the most unexpected collaborations on UKposts, just what everyone needed✌️

Brilliant love to see mighty car mods getting involved they are the OGs for this sort of channel, i have watched those guys for ever back when they did the cars on their driveway until very late at night slightly annoying their neighbours 😂😂 would be great to see a little visit to japan and a collaboration with you guys in the future!

Viking detailing needs to clean this car up for maximum hilarity. Those big dudes and their antics cleaning such a small car....
