Not Economically Viable risks thousands on a broken Audi RS5

The auction listing supplies the catch: "does not run." For Not Economically Viable, that is the starting point of "I Spent Thousands on a Broken Copart Audi RS5", a return to buying a desirable car with a potentially expensive problem.

Posted on Wednesday, the video introduces an Audi bought through salvage auction Copart, described by the creator as the cheapest RS5 in the UK. The purchase arrives alongside a sharp lift in viewing across the channel: roughly 170,000 views in a day, nearly twenty times its usual pace.

There is a familiar question beneath that new bonnet. The channel's most-watched regular upload explores why Porsche Cayennes are so cheap, while several of its other biggest videos involve bargain Range Rovers, including ones that do not run. A low purchase price is only the beginning of these stories.

The Audi also marks a change from October's "700 Miles Home With No Money", which left the creator on Orkney without transport or accommodation. In that video's description, the creator said making something outside the usual subject matter had brought back the enjoyment of making videos. This time, the uncertainty comes with a salvage listing and an RS badge.
