    Hey, Ed. The car wasn't that much of a loss for the dealership. Having it around meant that the dealership employees weren't driving around (and risking) the inventory. All it had to do was look nice enough to represent the dealership (so long as no one but dealership employees rode in it) and be safe enough for the dealership to use it for errands.
    BTW, Flood cars are also biohazard issues. First things to overflow are rivers and sewers. THen there's the algal and bacterial growth from stale, standing, muddy waters.

    While I couldn’t afford a Cayenne, I got my wife the VW Touareg with chocolate leather and while it’s the same platform, it’s a VW but holy hell, I love that thing. Absolutely comfortable and gorgeous inside. The downside is paying 1700 bucks for tires, for it.

      @ottergreen8190 6 років тому

      Tyler Beeson as luck would have it, my wife has a corporate car with her new job so, I’m kinda debating turning it to something better than stock. Tell ya what, that Touareg is solid at high speeds cus I’ve had it up to 135 and it just feels so solid and cruises the same at 135 as it does at 80. Super smooth and no vibration whatsoever. Only time I’ve felt that comfortable in a vehicle at speed was when I was stationed in Germany and drive the Bahn in my A4.

    • @ogalief

      I have a V8 with the chocolate leather as well. Just wait until one of the flex pipes go out! Went to roughly 20 shops and all of them refused to work on it. Dealer quoted 2 grand (though there are a bunch of people on the forums that got theirs done for a couple hundred). On the bright side, the car sounds amazing

      WookedoutLINK Yeah, you would think that would work, but car dealers are greedy. I offered $22,000 for a 2017 Fiat soon after the 2019’s came out. They had it listed at $21,000 (discounted from $29,000). I offered to buy it for the employee price($22,000) and the manufacturer would pay them the extra $7000 to make up for the MSRP difference. Now, I just offered them an extra $8,000, so I wanted a good trade-in value. Trade in blue book value was $10-12 thousand and they had similar vehicles for $15,000. I wanted $13,000. They wouldn’t budge from $6000 trade. I went back to that dealership 9 months later and it was sitting with the 2020’s with the faded $21,000 price still on it.

I got to drive it for 2 weeks while my vehicle was in the shop for a repair I could barely afford. Grandma handed me the keys, and off I went.

    If you're on the fence about getting an Alfa, I suggest you start by looking into the Series 3 Spider. I see why they are considered the gateway drug to Alfas... they're not the prettiest (so you start looking for older models) but they are reliable enough to last a while until something else breaks.

    I still see some 30 mile 2018 Maserati GranTurismos with 340 days on the lot and only 35K off asking but I'm sure there is more room behind it.

    Any car that spends close to or over a year on the lot is prime for easy 'shrewd negotiation'. I picked up a 2018 Mazda 3 hatch in June that had been on the dealer's lot since August of 2017 simply because it was a manual. They knocked $4600 off without even trying....they just wanted to see it gone.

    at 4:50, how exactly did a florida dealer sell a CD title to a customer, A) without him knowing, and B) with a temp tag? I didnt know that was even possible/legal....

    a few holes in the throttle plate might have helped the idling problem. when all the fancy F's off, good times.

    We keep a 3rd vehicle around for when the others need repairs....it's been dubbed the turd. 2001 bmw 525i touring, 220k miles, beat up inside and out but everything works, no lights are on and just remember to add oil ever 500 miles or so!

  • @Happymali10

    The problem in Germany would be that you pay the same insurance and tax for a just-rolled-off-the-showroom-floor cayenne and one that's most of the way to the scrapper.

    • @BeesonsCars

      Max S. Same here. Doesn’t really matter the condition, you pay the same for insurance. Unless you don’t get collision coverage, which means you won’t get your car fixed in an accident. Only theirs will be fixed (if it’s your fault.) other than that a cayenne with 200k miles on it in okay shape will cost the same to insure as one with 30k miles in showroom condition. As long as both have full coverage (which most people do.)

    My dad asked an insurance appraiser why they destroy so many flood cars. The guy said "because we don't want to marry it." Flood cars are so often bad news apparently they just don't fool with them.

    What is "bidding against a refrigerator?" I've been to a lot of dealer auctions and I've never heard that expression before.

    • @VINwiki
      @VINwiki  6 років тому +1

      When the auctioneer pretends there is another bidder in play to get you to keep bidding higher.

    • @kdtube17
      @kdtube17 6 років тому

      @@VINwiki Ah, makes sense. People warned me about that when I was starting out. I'm either going to really honest auctions or I'm not as observant as I think I am, because I have never seen it.
      Maybe it's a regional thing. I've seen lots of accusations of that nonsense on the Google reviews of Manheim and Adesa auctions in the southeast.

    Driving a car that looks nice but actually is a pos is really fun! I didn't have a lambo or anything of the sort, it was a saab 9000, but with a really clean interior and exterior. The kind you'd see in a magazine when it was brand new.
    car did has it faults, the gearbox was thrash(typical saab stuff) abs didn't work, exhaust had cracks all over the place. heater was done for, leaked coolant into the cabin etc, the list goes on.
    Smelled really wierd to thanks to always being soaked.
    but it looked amazing, externally it had the aero bumpers, wing, wheels etc. I would sometimes get comments on how nice of an example it was(here in sweden you can run into saab enthusiasts here and there quite often)
    such a nice car to trash around in. ton of lights in the dash was always on and somtimes it wouldn't shift gears. even smashed into a pole once just for the sake of it :D

    • @Zesserie
      @Zesserie 5 років тому

      Not to talk about all the electrical gremlins and shorts it had thanks to it always being soaked :D But it always started and ran(when the gearbox "worked")
