My Camry has been really good to me. It’s a 2010 I purchased around 11/2009. It has over 200,000. Miles and still going with regular maintenance. Love Toyato so far.
I had a 2005 Toyota Sieana van and it was a flawless vehicle for over 200,000 miles until someone hit it head on and totaled it. Insurance still gave me $8,000 for it at 7 years old.
Westlake Services is an auto loan lender like Santander. Re: Your new idea for the channel, whatever makes you happy, it's YOUR channel. Most of your viewers have been here for a long time and have ridden through the different whims.. the repairing old cars from the 80's, buying classic muscle cars, going on road trips with MWM, the European phases, the truck phases, etc. Some people may get upset, but we're all human and need to do different things or we get burned out. Most of us are here for it, just for the love of God, don't transition into doing electric bikes! 😏😂
The plate readers on the repo trucks/spotters are actually a little more complex than you think. They don't just cruise waiting to get a repo ping, they actually store and upload not only the plate, but also the location the plate was scanned so if the car comes up for repossession later, then the tow company can actually input the plate into the database and get a GPS map of everywhere that plate was scanned so they can have a good idea of where it's been and where it's likely to be. So, yeah. The cameras actually have more functionality than you think.
@@txtchjmb29 Zero timing belts. Actually, I did not do much to the car besides oil changes and filters. Spark plugs once, tranny fluid twice, new radiator at year 18. Lots of brakes, at least 4 times. Hondas brakes are garbage maybe from the design. I did all the work myself.
Times have definately changed in the last few years. I was in that industry for a long time and we never sent an undamaged 400 mile repo to Copart. That type of vehicle would go to the regular dealer auction. Only vehicles in really bad condition went to Copart.
I believe theirs no more room that kinda got me thinking the same but I remembered Randy saying theirs no room at actions you can hardly walk around and moving cars was another level . I can also be wrong by not seeing the whole picture 😜
Someone bought the Hyundai and couldn't get insurance or the insurance was crazy expensive. Some insurance companies won't issue Hyundai or Kia because they get stolen so often.
My daily driver is an 04 ES330. 160k miles. Everything including the sunroof and heated leather seats still work perfectly. I did add a modern wireless cell phone compatible head unit, phone NAV fires up immediately. Just had to find a hidden spot for the microphone. Still rides smoothly, somewhat powerful engine. Paid 3500 for it 3 years ago. Recommend one to anyone.
randy, my wife and i have owned 4 hyundai's. we currently drive a kona suv. the warranty can't be beat. the car runs great. the gas mileage is accurate as i couldn't believe 42 miles per gallon on a trip.

All three of those flooded West Lake cars had the same dealership sticker on the back of them. They either got flooded out or there was some major insurance fraud going on.
I own a 2021 Hyundai Kona Limited with 20k miles. I bought it new. If my engine or tranny goes out in the next 6 years, yes they will repair it for free. I like my car. It's fun to drive. The only thing you need to keep an eye on is the build up of carbon on the valves. I also like the Frontier Pick Ups.. they are great too.
Sorry to disagree with you about Kia/Hyndai. They take every excuse to deny engine warranty claims. A close friend, the dealership installed a used engine with a bad head gasket. Dealer says 1 quart of oil every 300 miles is normal oil use.

Now 4 months later, the engine is acting up again.

I love my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. I get great gas mileage. I’ve never had a problem with the vehicle, the warranty is fantastic. The folks at the service department are great. Also, while I travel in Italy, I see hundreds of Hyundai Tucson all over the place. It’s a strong vehicle! I keep my oil changed every 5000 miles.
Your friend was LUCKY, most people have to jump through hoops to get a new engine, prove maintenance intervals, etc. I had a 2023 Tuscon SEL with the convenience package.

I never test drove it and my front rotors were out of true rand new, i had to call Hyundai and they opened up a 'case' to make a long story short i brought it to another dealer and they replaced the front rotors, some dealers SUCK and i gave tons on negative feedback on that dealer!!!!

What's better than a brand new car for kids right ? i fully agree 100%.. the first 2024 - Hyundai Elantra that Randy presented here, looks brand spanking new is a great vehicle from medium class ( decent space inside front & back it can carry 4 adults not crumped in the back like a i20 ) has great mileage and fully covered with that super-dealer warranty.. Not sure why Nick would not be happy with that.. heck i would, it has less than 500 miles for crying out loud ! c'mon people !
No hate or nothing but it doesn’t make sense to buy a kid a $23,000 car for their first car. Yeah it has good warranty’s and all but i feel like a kids first car should be something cheaper, mainly so they actually learn how to drive first and maybe if they want learn how to do some basic maintenance. Which I’m not saying you can’t do all that on the Hyundai but price wise it just doesn’t make sense to me idk maybe I’m just goofy tho
The 2013 Lexus 2GR FE engine is pretty bulletproof. The vehicle is a bit heavy, so it's slower than most cars with that 270hp engine. Figure 0-60 in 7, then finish the quarter mile in just over 15, doing 92mph. Don't drive like that, you might get 25mpg. The Elantra isn't very high up in the Hyundai line, but is a very sensible econocar that has evolved a lot since I bought a new 1992 Saturn SL2 instead of it. You know, like how a Corolla now is bigger and nicer than a Camry was back in the day.
The Toyota 2GR-FE is a great motor, but maintenance on it is a pain. Spark plugs replacement takes time. The timing chain cover tends to leak oil after 100k miles. I had to apply new timing chain cover seal on my mother's Toyota Avalon V6. It has 130k miles and runs like a champ. I just hate doing daily maintenance on it.

Yeah, but you can get a Toyota or a Honda for the same money. It just might not be as fancy. THAT is why people buy Hyundai/Kia because they're filled with "value" which translates to fancy options on a garbage car. Americans are obsessed with looks over substance. I'll take a boring, reliable Toyota over a fancy-looking Kia any day.
I usually buy Hondas , but I bought a Hyundai Tucson , 7 years ago .. based on the sporty looks and it has been a great little SUV with well over 100k miles.
Honestly I Like the Hyundai and Kia’s after about 2013 they have stepped up their game and made decent cars ever since, I like how they look and you get a lot for a pretty decent price.
That hyundai looks real nice but we rented one and it is super hard on the body if you drive a good ways. Oh and The ones that die at a red light (for gas savings) uses more gas than one that doesn't... Nice cars tho
@ AutoAuctionRebuilds Hey Randy, could you break down what the fees are on buying a car from the auction site? I looked at auto bid master and they wanted $1071 for a 275 bid... 308 auction fees..... 349 auto bid fee.... and then the transaction fee.... Is this normal or really high?
The super dirty, relatively low mileage cars are where you will make the most money. Put tires on them, detail and you are good to go. By the way, that cloth upholstery in Toyotas, clean up amazingly well. I have owned 3 of them. They get dirty because the color is so light.
I have seen that before years ago I was looking at a new chevy sonoma ext that the dealer had custom painted when I went back to buy it they sold it saw it around town a elderly lady was driving it and a couple of months later or so saw it in the fence at the local credit union the elderly lady passed away so the daughter turned it back in. it only a like 400 miles on it.
2:21 If you watch Branden from Car Questions Answered who is a used car dealer from NC and he has been saying that if a dealership can’t sell a vehicle, the manufacturer can repossess it and they sell it at an auction with the dealership paying the difference. Zac and Ray from The Car Edge channel has been saying the same also.
Just to let you know. Any newer Honda will show EVERY warning when the car loses battery power and is jumped off. Sometimes it will clear after a couple of driven miles. Sometimes the dealer has to clear the warnings.
That Elantra would be perfect for Nick! He gets a new, safe car, but you don't have the concern of a teen driving a "new" car because it was already repoed!
Automax evidently lost the Hyundai dealership and it moved down the street under a different owner, Joe Cooper. That could be a repo from the dealership and it might have been one of their service loaners. They were poorly ran so was not surprised. In regards to Hyundai though, I was looking for a new SUV a few months ago and thoroughly researched and drove all the different makes and models. bought a Hyundai, drove the best, most features and outstanding warranty!
I thought we was gravitating towards the gt mustang, I was curious too see the interior and the start up.... Especially the cold start 😂❤ but great video, that Hyundai car opened my eyes!
Luckily I had done the "software" update on my Kia Soul before the engine went out. Since they did the update the car went into limp mode when the rod blew and then I had it towed to the dealer. They did end up putting another engine in it free of charge to me. I did sell it right after that. I had a friend whose burned to the ground and the fireman told him it was the third or 4th one they had to put out. No more Kia's or Hyundai's for me
The moment you said Hyundai’s are great cars , I decided to save my time and like for someone who knows about cars . I used to own a Hyundai palisade and let go off it within first year because of quality issues .
Well, Randy, there’s been all kinds of flooding this year. If you remember that hurricane that came up through Texas Missouri all the way up through Michigan cause lots of flooding. Just this week there’s all kinds of flooding going on in Connecticut so they’ll be lots of flooded cars up in that area eventually. I just watched a UA-cam video of the news highlights in Connecticut, hundreds of cars underwater Lady, I work with lives in Houston Texas. She was flooded out of her house for three weeks back in July so who knows where those flooded cars came from.

Westlake Services LLC is Westlake Financial - subprime lender out of CA. Pretty common to see these cars repossessed cause it tends to be bottom of the barrel credit score borrowers.
I would definitely pick up the Hyundai because why not, if you can get a great deal on it, you have to take advantage of things and then just put it in your name🎉
Hi Randy, good morning I just got done watching your cool power walk around that you posted your new idea about buying new cars and fixing them up and then reselling them is a wonderful idea. It’s a great idea. I think you just came on with a wonderful wonderful idea. I hope you get to do what you want with them but this new idea that you have is great. I think it’s perfect man and I hope you do it but anyhow I hope you have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon. See ya.
Reminds me of a scene in married with children. A car wash lost Al's old Dodge, so they wanted to replace it. They asked him, how does a new Hyundai sound? He responded, like an old lawnmower
I’m thinking the buyer on the Hyaundi took it back & turned it in for some reason. You were closer on the price than I was, $28K. I enjoy the KIA K5 & Hyaundi’s. Not discussing politics as I enjoy just the vehicles you bring to the channel.
I have a Kia soul and I love it, it is a 2020 GT line , we have had 4 Kia’s all have been great 2 souls 1 Sedona and a telluride I would not hesitate to buy another Kia or a Hyundai

Enjoy the channel and very interested in your review of repos and other cars at COPART. I would also love to see the results- do you get the cars you identify and how much did it cost you. Like the concept. Keep it going.
Either they can't afford it or they ended up not wanting the car because they hate it 1 make sure you can afford it 2 make sure it's something you want and want to drive for a long time because you're stuck with the payments
Kias & Hyundai are generally great cars. I get the 4cyls have a bad rep for a reason but with the 10yr warranty most new buyers wouldn't keep a Toyota for that long anyways. Great bang for your buck and the V6 Tellurides/Palisades cant be beat.
When you said “ I’m not really big on Toyotas” I pictured Scotty Kilmer having a fit.😂😂😂😂😂

Hyundai and Kia may not be better than Toyota and Honda but normal Americans can afford one !
Yeah, but you can get a Toyota or a Honda for the same money. It just might not be as fancy. THAT is why people buy Hyundai/Kia because they're filled with "value" which translates to fancy options on a garbage car. Americans are obsessed with looks over substance. I'll take a boring, reliable Toyota over a fancy-looking Kia any day.
Toyotas and Hondas are cheaper long term because they last longer than hyundai and Kia’s.
Toyota 🤮
@@w.miller7282 Take care of a Honda or Toyota and they will run forever. To a lot of people, that is boring.
I usually buy Hondas , but I bought a Hyundai Tucson , 7 years ago .. based on the sporty looks and it has been a great little SUV with well over 100k miles.
Honestly I Like the Hyundai and Kia’s after about 2013 they have stepped up their game and made decent cars ever since, I like how they look and you get a lot for a pretty decent price.
I love Kia’s and Hyundais - owned a couple new. Been good cars and in auction you can get for a steal.
Thank you !
That hyundai looks real nice but we rented one and it is super hard on the body if you drive a good ways. Oh and The ones that die at a red light (for gas savings) uses more gas than one that doesn't... Nice cars tho
@ AutoAuctionRebuilds Hey Randy, could you break down what the fees are on buying a car from the auction site? I looked at auto bid master and they wanted $1071 for a 275 bid... 308 auction fees..... 349 auto bid fee.... and then the transaction fee.... Is this normal or really high?
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊
The super dirty, relatively low mileage cars are where you will make the most money. Put tires on them, detail and you are good to go. By the way, that cloth upholstery in Toyotas, clean up amazingly well. I have owned 3 of them. They get dirty because the color is so light.
That Hyundai will be a steal! Go for it!!!
Hey Ho! Randy, that Hyundia is first rate, I own a 2019 Kia Niro BEV, the best car IA have owned
There was a laptop in that Rogue! some valuable stuff in there.
I’ve never been a Kia fan but the new models look sharp
2014 kia forte lx 256,000 miles and still running
Sometimes financing falls through, then I suppose the the customer didn’t bring the Hyundai back. Crazy but happens
I have seen that before years ago I was looking at a new chevy sonoma ext that the dealer had custom painted when I went back to buy it they sold it saw it around town a elderly lady was driving it and a couple of months later or so saw it in the fence at the local credit union the elderly lady passed away so the daughter turned it back in. it only a like 400 miles on it.
Good morning Randy from @Auto Action Rebuild glad to see you
Randy I'm glad ur still at it the retire vid scared me but if u retire enjoy the relaxation u deserve it
Man I love these videos!!! Makes my day when ya post em😊
2:21 If you watch Branden from Car Questions Answered who is a used car dealer from NC and he has been saying that if a dealership can’t sell a vehicle, the manufacturer can repossess it and they sell it at an auction with the dealership paying the difference. Zac and Ray from The Car Edge channel has been saying the same also.
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Every used car dealer in the country has 3 to 5 Nissan Rogue's on the lot! :)
Because they sell so many it’s mathematically logical.
Just to let you know. Any newer Honda will show EVERY warning when the car loses battery power and is jumped off. Sometimes it will clear after a couple of driven miles. Sometimes the dealer has to clear the warnings.
Thanks for emphasizing that these previous owners are only hurting themselves by damaging their cars! Compounding stupidity!
Agree on those new Elantras Randy! Been keeping my eye out for when the hybrid can be had for cheap, used 🔥
That Elantra would be perfect for Nick! He gets a new, safe car, but you don't have the concern of a teen driving a "new" car because it was already repoed!
Automax evidently lost the Hyundai dealership and it moved down the street under a different owner, Joe Cooper. That could be a repo from the dealership and it might have been one of their service loaners. They were poorly ran so was not surprised. In regards to Hyundai though, I was looking for a new SUV a few months ago and thoroughly researched and drove all the different makes and models. bought a Hyundai, drove the best, most features and outstanding warranty!
I thought we was gravitating towards the gt mustang, I was curious too see the interior and the start up.... Especially the cold start 😂❤ but great video, that Hyundai car opened my eyes!
Keep it up Randy we love the grind!
Luckily I had done the "software" update on my Kia Soul before the engine went out. Since they did the update the car went into limp mode when the rod blew and then I had it towed to the dealer. They did end up putting another engine in it free of charge to me. I did sell it right after that. I had a friend whose burned to the ground and the fireman told him it was the third or 4th one they had to put out. No more Kia's or Hyundai's for me
The Hyundai must have been an unwind, a deal that fell through. Im surprised it didn't just go back to the dealer and now it's here in the repo lot
The moment you said Hyundai’s are great cars , I decided to save my time and like for someone who knows about cars . I used to own a Hyundai palisade and let go off it within first year because of quality issues .
2gRfe was used in the RAV4 and Toyota Camry
Hi! Very interesting video! I’m just wondering if you ever go through at the end and show what the vehicles you were interested in sold for?
That first car you looked at looked like a really good car to do I hope that you can get it and have it on the channel
Love this video Randy. Do what you need to 😊.
Well, Randy, there’s been all kinds of flooding this year. If you remember that hurricane that came up through Texas Missouri all the way up through Michigan cause lots of flooding. Just this week there’s all kinds of flooding going on in Connecticut so they’ll be lots of flooded cars up in that area eventually. I just watched a UA-cam video of the news highlights in Connecticut, hundreds of cars underwater Lady, I work with lives in Houston Texas. She was flooded out of her house for three weeks back in July so who knows where those flooded cars came from.
Oh now I'm right at the end Sory mam that's a yes randy see how it goes, 3 months of doing that im quite sure you can do it and im sure you gonna be successful at doing it to with the right cars and the right price and another good one if your starting to do some little changes and trial and error type content at least if your doing some work to the vehicles you could be indoors in your garage randy id be definitely interested in what your going on about randy bit of a change no harm man for rea, thanks for another interesting upload man!. ✨👌✨👍👍
The lexus is an interesting spec. Base nav package but headlight washers.
I had a 2015 with Silver and Saddle Brown and it was a beautiful car. Unfortunately had sketchy history and electrical gremlins (uncommon) but it was slick.. Now have a 2017 RX and it's pretty good.
Brother Randy again with another interesting video thank you for the time you spent to make all this videos also appreciate the extra step to make shure quality of video audio is top notch 👌 and yes of course I agree on picking up cars bit newer I believe you'll sale them a bit faster because your not just saling a used car your providing the buyer with a bit of history on the car and live videos of you puting in the work required to make shure its ready for the new owner . Thank you for the knowledge you spread with your work you really do alot at least I see it everyday and I can't say that about to many ppl now a days but so far Randy Munky Ranch Mike Santa Legit st. You guys Rock the mutch love to you all Bless your family's amd firends
Westlake Services LLC is Westlake Financial - subprime lender out of CA. Pretty common to see these cars repossessed cause it tends to be bottom of the barrel credit score borrowers.
I would definitely pick up the Hyundai because why not, if you can get a great deal on it, you have to take advantage of things and then just put it in your name🎉
That Hyndai has potential Randy 😎😎👍👍 Easy flip for your channel 💯💯
Hi Randy, good morning I just got done watching your cool power walk around that you posted your new idea about buying new cars and fixing them up and then reselling them is a wonderful idea. It’s a great idea. I think you just came on with a wonderful wonderful idea. I hope you get to do what you want with them but this new idea that you have is great. I think it’s perfect man and I hope you do it but anyhow I hope you have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon. See ya.
I love Kia and Hyundai! I am super practical and you can't get much practical than those brands!
Great car for Nick..safe and economical.
I love your idea, Randy
Yes! It's a good idea to look for nice newer models to buy and flip, we'd really like that.
Pls buy that 2024 Hyundai Elantra, you won't regret it.
Reminds me of a scene in married with children. A car wash lost Al's old Dodge, so they wanted to replace it. They asked him, how does a new Hyundai sound? He responded, like an old lawnmower
I’m thinking the buyer on the Hyaundi took it back & turned it in for some reason. You were closer on the price than I was, $28K. I enjoy the KIA K5 & Hyaundi’s. Not discussing politics as I enjoy just the vehicles you bring to the channel.
Loved it buddy
I have a Kia soul and I love it, it is a 2020 GT line , we have had 4 Kia’s all have been great 2 souls 1 Sedona and a telluride I would not hesitate to buy another Kia or a Hyundai
Love love loved my 92 TSi awd
I didn't know that repo agencies have those plate readers. I was just thinking GPS Tracking modules or Onstar services.
That Hyundai is a perfect car for Nick.I would have loved to have had that nice of a car for my first car
I think Hyundai & Kia are fine ... Great Warrentys. Im converted from German Cars .. value for Money there becoming Strong here in the UK 🇬🇧 All the Best Randy 👍
Were they in the process of shaving those door handles on the Genesis?😂😂 and for a 2013 Lexus, it looks pimp
8:12 that Elantra is perfect for Nicks first car!!! And once he gets money for what he wants u can just keep it or sell it
Hi randy first of most glade you still making your videos ❤
Westlake services is cars loan company
Hyundai is getting better with their vehicles. I own an ELANTRA N and I love it...I don't mind seeing a Hyundai on your channel.
The hyundai maintenance warrtny applies to 1st owner only you lose maintenance and obly get 5 60 o powertrain if yoir 2nd owner
Elantra is perfect for Nick and your plan for The Channel sounds good it is often a good idea to try to take new chances and if it does not work out then you Can always go back to The content you have now or try a new direction 🤔🧐 don`t stop evolving and “grow stale”
Enjoy the channel and very interested in your review of repos and other cars at COPART. I would also love to see the results- do you get the cars you identify and how much did it cost you. Like the concept. Keep it going.
Missed the first payment this is funny Bro😀😃😄
My problem isn’t the brand, it’s the lack of maintenance that someone facing repossession neglected.
If we're checking put n auction online how do we find out that it was a repo? Or any of the things you said they were called
The Market NEVER LIES, sooner or later those vehicles will find their worth, and it wont be much.
Interesting. What location you are at?
Either they can't afford it or they ended up not wanting the car because they hate it
1 make sure you can afford it
2 make sure it's something you want and want to drive for a long time because you're stuck with the payments
Love the Lexus as well 💓
Kias & Hyundai are generally great cars. I get the 4cyls have a bad rep for a reason but with the 10yr warranty most new buyers wouldn't keep a Toyota for that long anyways. Great bang for your buck and the V6 Tellurides/Palisades cant be beat.
They don’t need plate readers, most of these new cars have a GPS, locator either from the factory or bank/dealer installed…..👍🇺🇸
