If it runs. I hope you're going to do the right thing. That's take out the bottom half of interior and dry it out, clean and test all electronics.
Perhaps you missed the entire video where I said I was sending it to Ford and to the pros for professional interior removal?
This guy always tries to fix whatever is bad in a car, You think he is not taking care of this baby. You have to see more of his videos.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds before you start the engine one good thing I like to do is check the air box and check the air filter to see if it's wet or if there's any flood type debris in it. I live in New Orleans and it floods often out here so that's what I typically do with any car that I purchase after a flood.
No burnout Randy treat the car as it should be treated Jessica would look good in this car
Is Nick still going to get a Mustang as his first car….he liked that SN95
Also change the cabin air filter that might help alot.
I would instantly take this back to auction for sale after doing:
interior detail for smells
exterior detail
oil change
transfluid change at dealer
have dealer scan the car and print out the diagnostics that show everything is clear/working and leave the printout in the car and the service records
easy money.
No one buys well in-shape vehicles at salvage auctions
Randy, I’m going to say the following on the shop fees;
Ford dealer: $1,725.00
Body: $1,500.00
Interior: $2,800.00
Really happy for you Randy.
This is the catch of the century mate.
I think with some minor investment in carpeting and the work at Ford, as well as detailing and paint you’ll have a car, you won’t want to part with!!
Make sure you have some fun with it too!!
All the best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 too!!
I've bought several flood cars. Some of the best deals if you know what you are looking for. Always check the air box first to see if it has water in it or indications it got wet. Pull a spark plug to check the combustion chamber, change all the fluids. There are vents on the tops of some transmissions and rear diff housings.
what a deal you got , you need to enjoy it for a while and then do what ever do you want with it , absolutely a good deal on it for C/S
Saw the title and thumbnail and had to watch immediatly! Thanks for the variety and fresh content!! Love your channel.
I believe you got a great deal Randy! In all honesty, the resale factor is only important to individuals who are looking to flip it for quick money. I think you scored big time. Congrats
If it's a simple cleaning of the interior and carpet replacement, then it's an absolute win! Salvage cars get a bad rap most of the time.
Looks like a great deal Randy! It would be interesting to see what CarMax would give you for it, as they only offered me $10k for my 16 GT with a total loss on it. But I too saved $15k keeping the car and fixing it vs buying an equivalent replacement. Hope it cleans up cheap so you can enjoy it for a bit!
Thank you Randy. I used your CarFax Report link. I also own a Mustang GT but mine is a 2003 convertible GT. I found out some good things. Looking forward to more MUSTANG videos' think it's a great win.
Randy you did the right thing by having the car detail done and having ford change the fluids. It only makes sense. I hope you enjoy your new toy.thanks for the great content. Your friend from Canada. take care.
Nice ride, the water damage does not look extensive. The only issue with flood cars is the gremlins start showing once rust sets in, hope this is not the case. It's a great spec.
I unknowingly bought a cleaned up Katrina car back in 08 a low mileage 02 Dodge Stratus. The car had every interior light plus burned out plus some fuses a tail light and headlight ended up being replaced, the first real give away was on a humid day it would smell a little musty but then I but the rear seat down and found a rust line on the back of the seat they missed in the cleanup. I had a few minor problems in the short time I owned the car 3 months because it was finally totaled once and for all having being rear ended by a Comcast cable truck doing 75 when I was doing 25.
You hands down have some of the best content I’ve seen when it comes to the car industry here on UA-cam. Keep up the awesome work man!
I went to a car show a few weeks ago, it was so cool! There was a car I wanted to see, I had no idea my aunt was going to do this, but she asked the guy that owned this car if I can hear it, and she mentioned to him that I'm totally blind, I got to hear it and touch it! It was a 1931 Packerd with the straight 8 in it! That was so cool! Shout out to my aunt Jen for doing that for me!
Love your videos so much randy! Your driveway is goals. The mustang is a steal bruh. Can’t wait for the next one. Please tell me there’s a road trip in the wagoneer coming soon. Bye have a good day! 😊
You got that Mustang for a super great deal. For the remote start it's not like ram were you can just hit the button to start it. you have to hit lock first and then the start button all within about two second other wise it'll cancel u out. it'll work from any angle though.
Beautiful car. I've always been told Don't mess with flood cars for obvious reasons, but it seems like the Stang you got there is a winner! Hopefully you can get that nasty flood car smell out. I've always been a Chevy guy, but I think Ford has done an Awesome job with the Mustang. I would be thrilled to have that California Special in my garage. Nice job!
Great Job Dude! You're Lucky so far! I think you made a great purchase. Expect to put 5K into it to make it perfect inside and outside. Problem is you never know with flood cars when you purchase site unseen. Thanks for the great content, I personally, would not have a problem with a salvage title as long as I know the true history of the vehicle.
Flush all fluids (engine oil, transmission oil) might also empty the fuel tank to make sure no water reached inside, replace all filters (oil, fuel, air..) the coolant, brake-fluid, give a nice detail outside and inside get all seats out & clean carpets as well, then check for water intrusion on floor level to all electric wiring couples & cables and if all is ok then put all back and keep the car for a while (not a must to drive it but few miles more wouldn't do no harm) is quite nice such a car with low mileage.. after all that if he still wants to sell it, then yeah it will make the profit for sure being a cool model with low mileage, but i would probably like to see Randy son driving it when it will have driving license.. ;0)
That is one beautiful looking car Randy you scored a great deal on that Mustang. Enjoy your new car.
Man you scored big time buuut be careful how much you put into it don't let the spending get out of control and take all your profits away I know it deserves it but every dime is profits out of your pocket seeing that big ass smile on your face was awesome good luck 👍
Good To hear you Excited again about a Copart Car Sounds like you have a real winner again & Utah was talking about Used Fed Ex Trucks with the odometer switched out
Wow Randy, what a nice car, I absolutely love these. Let’s do a burnout on camera right now. Nick did a really good clean up job, the paint still looks new on camera apart from that one small scratch that personally I would not do anything about. I am really looking forward to seeing more of this car, well done bringing this to the channel
What a steal man! With the way the market is these days, don't wait too too long to re-sell it but also give it a good chance to strech its legs a bit. Great video man!
I have to say Nick has shot up and grown in a years time. I bet he really likes the Stang.
Lol, I like how he drops it off @ 1:20 like..."Here, here's your garbage"😄
thats a nice Mustang Randy, as you said the money you saved can be used for mods, upgrades and change all that could be affected on the flood, keep the good videos coming
That initial cold start was sick. I didn't realize they sound that good with a stock exhaust.
The 2018 and above have a much better stock exhaust then the 2015 - 2017. They had a very lame quiet exhaust, I know because I have 2016. Easily fixed though, slapped on a Roush Axel Back and now it sounds as it should.
Original selling price of that car was $47280 so this is definitely a steal as long as it doesn’t break down in the next 5 years
He won't have it in one year. I'll give it three months. He's gotta turn a profit on this baby.
What a ride. You stole that. Can’t believe how big / tall Nick is getting. I wish I had the stones to do what you do. I know very well how it would turn out ( not good ) can’t wait for the next vid on it. You will have to pick a name for her she deserves one. And I can’t even fathom how much it would cost to completely gut and clean the interior of the beast Lots of screws and nuts and bolts. However from the work that they have done for you before I can bet it will be just like factory once again Good deal and a good ride.
Great to see this video its brought me back to your channel for the first time since the ss buy
It's definitely nice, hopefully no serious issues are found, once the carpet is removed.
Many people would probably be upset at you for driving it home, but like you say in any video that deals with a flood car, Copart or other Auctions have already attempt to start and drive the car, so you won't be causing any more damage.
Huge win Randy 👍 nicely done the car is beautiful 😍
With a flood car, when you test electrical, you have to say, "it works, NOW" that may change tomorrow, or next week.
Randy truly did say 2022 was gonna be a good year for him and he was right!
Major win! Congrats buddy!🥳
Good pickup. The Coyote Sounds did really strong. Looks like a very special edition.
God blessed u big time. Good for u!!
Mustang is beautiful. Some of the cars lately have been rough. Enjoy.
Randy you did very well on this buy
Definitely a keeper.clean up 500.00.dealer service
460.00.great video.good luck
Seems like a steal to me, Get the interior deionized get the rear bumper scrape repainted and your good to go! Have you decided whether your keeping it for a bit or selling it and making some big-time profit.
If I saw my new $26,000 Mustang brought to me on a fucking forklift, it'd be over for whoever tf I bought it from.
Man you stole it!!! Only issue I would think is maybe the power, heated/cooled seats being damaged by water. Easy fix. Great job!
Great find and good luck. I hope you have some fun with this beauty before you sell it.
you should start bringing febreeze so when a car smells bad you just spray it and can enter it without smelling anything bad .
Or, the favorite of Rich Rebuilds, Black Ice air freshener!
Bruh
It's all depends how the car was flooded and salt water or fresh water would make a bit of difference on the electronics. But this car doesn't seem like I was a bad flood maybe just dipped it's toes in the water on one side lol
Your an honest guy, you always want to do the best for your cars, I am doing better with my health, been enjoying my 1995 Corvette, legs are healing and my foot still healing, your show brings me joy, sending you love and prayers and if you come to Taylor, Michigan there be a dream cruise, (Detroit) on July 23rd, Saturday this month, that mustang would be honored like a GOD, Mustang Country, made here in Wayne County, Michigan in the city of Taylor, Dearborn HTS, Dearborn and Redford. You finally scored great! I wish I could do the same buy used.
No doubt......great deal!! As long as they get the smell out! Look forward to your next update!
Wow that’s a bargain for sure look forward to seeing it once it’s been cleaned out
$750 at the dealer $1500 for detailing is my guess. Of course I am in California and prices are higher here so difficult to estimate for your area. It is a great deal if you get the right price when it resold. Would love to see a better sales venue than Copart or the insurance auction.
This isn't just a detailing. It's a full cabin pull and sterilization. $750 at the dealer is likely a little low as well.
Good luck Randy I really think the car is sick hope you get the stank out of it, if they can't get it out just wear a respirator.
Gorgeous Mustang, I have a 2020 Mustang EcoBoost High performance package and it has the same grill, splitter and diffuser of that car, I opted for the red interior on mine. I love it, I got it as my gas saver because my truck gets 12 mpg and gas is 6.29 for the 91 it requires here in California.
Can't wait for the next video. Congrats on that Mustang !!!
Hey Randy, I'm a senior master tech for Ford. Those 10r80 trans are junk. Although I haven't seen too many issues with the mustang but it is the same one in all the Ford's now.
nah the 10r80s are fine, the mt82s are the junk transmission.
I’m guessing anywhere from 700$-1200$ range At the dealer. When I did the fluid flush on my 2015 GMC Sierra it cost about $1500 for everything
I’m so excited watching this video like it was my own car. This is my dream car hopefully within 2 more years I’ll be able to buy this car. But nice find brother. She looked so good after that first wash can’t imagine after you take her to that detail shop. 🔥🔥🔥
Bought an Ecoboost premium 2020 for 35k$ Brand new from ford dealership sold it for 31k$ after roughly 18 months when market was up. Looking for a gt premium 401a package! Randy love the car! Add more content on it as it seems to be doing well for your channel too!
I wish Flood Damage had a rating, instead of just Flood
Like yours could be Flood 1 runs drives and so on
Flood 1: fully functioning, and only needs a deep cleaning. Flood 2: fluids diluted by water, on top of the Flood 1 rating. Flood 3: mechanical damage caused by hydraulic lock in addition to the Flood 1 and 2 ratings. Flood 4: significant damage from sitting in standing fresh water for a significant period of time. Flood 5: salt water flood damage; the vehicle is issued a certificate of destruction and cannot and should not be repaired.
In 2019 I bought a 2017 GT with 10,000 miles on it, Magnetic Metallic Gray with a 6 speed for $27,000. It had the upgraded wheels wider tires and a Roush Phase 1 supercharger with 671 horsepower. A year later with less than 2000 more miles on it I traded it at a $34,000 value. Really liked the car but I'm just not a Ford guy.
Your a braver man than I not knowing how it flooded or what it was flooded with you drove it home? It could have been a rain flood or the always foul street sewer backup? No body damage means it was sitting still probably. Giver looks like you did well.
Good Video Randy and Good Luck with the Mustang
Definitely a huge win for this one, and since you may be keeping it for awhile, why not do some upgrades to it? Like, I don't know, supercharger? In terms of the prices, I think the detail will be 1200 for the interior, 1800 for the exterior, and I'd say 800 at the dealer, but I'm pretty sure this car should have a warranty?
Wow, 1,8k for a polish? Wtf?
@@Felipe-lp8tl 3000 for detailing xd
If I had to guess I'd say 2500 for the detail and about 1500 for the dealer work
Great content watching from Louisville Kentucky keep videos coming sir
This is a win!!! Can't wait to see more content with this car!
Also the water line looks like it was below most of the modules on the mustang. With most of the newer cars the manufacturers have been placing modules up higher in the vehicles for just that reason of possible flood damage.
That’s a steal of a deal for sure great work 👍👍 and yes I would love to see a burnout
a car is not made for burnout it's made u take u to places so ur ass don't need to walk
I have a 2016Mustang. In sport mode it holds the gears longer and will down shift slowing down. Put in sport(gear shift) then race/track(4th toggle switch) and paddle shift it.
That's an amazing Mustang. I think you should keep it as an investment car. Plus it's obvious you love it. Who wouldn't? Also, Mustangs have been good to AAR - after watching this episode I went back in the archives and watched the white Mustang that you sent to MAACO for a color change to red. That one was a really nice honest car. And Nick was in that video too taking off the hood latch. He's destined to drive a Mustang one day.
Great video, great job! 👍👍👍👍
THIS WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK THAT YOU TOOK . BEAUTIFUL PONY !!!!!!!!!!
far as I would be "much more" concerned about getting the car up on a lift, to see if there was any undercarriage damage from fork lifting the mustang - when they brought it out to you. Get the car on a lift ... those newer mustang premiums have magna ride suspension, electronic "variable exhaust" don't they... which allows you to change the loud, quiet, etc... with press of a button.
Still, congratulations....you got seem to have gotten a good deal.... well worth the speculation... you got a killer deal! It always good to have 'cash money'; disposable income - in hand - just in case a Great Deal falls in your lap.
Buying a car is almost never a profit, just a loss. As you know, of course.
I hope the Mustang does not offer too many unpleasant surprises! Good luck! 😎👍
That’s the best win randy you woke up that day and made 20,000 papa. That’s day was full of wins.
Love your video's Randy. The mustang looks awesome in your driveway. I hope you enjoy it and see vodeo's as you maintenance on the car. This is a stael of a deal. ❤🇨🇦
I guess monkey wrench inspired you to get a ‘tang of your own 🤣
Awesome find, burnout soon!
I always get nervous when I see the front loader with those forks lifting the car. How do they know the forks are bending anything under the car?
They don't. My current car is a Copart buy and they screwed up the undercarriage pretty good.
@@jeremybrown6894 I simply would tell them to let me get it, I just cant see how those forks cant damage anything. Sorry to hear they did that to yours.
@@lansing66 it’s not a optional
Man.. I watchs the hole video, and I was as happy as you 😁😁😄😄.. Lucky you.. I Hope it will run great in the future 👍👍
Congrats randy great car and even greater deal be looking for other content on this fine machine 👍😎
Aside from having receipts, the Auto Spa has to deal with the stench as they pull out the interior, instead of you having to deal with the smell! I say $4,500 for everything you are having done to it.
My guess would be $2,600 for the detail and $1,200 at the dealer because they won't miss a chance on anything. That will include a mandatory muffler fluid change or they can't let it leave the lot due to it not being road worthy.
detail it ,change all the fluids and check the wiring when you do that also its great to see the engine interior so its not any rust or salt water I guess its all youtube revenue for Randy and you get the fun while doin it
Dude I’m learning this business you’re rock love your channel
In a year the electronics will be corroded and will be a nightmare!
I sure it will be fine
No they won’t
No it won’t it’s fresh water. It will be fine.
true
If fresh water it's not so bad. It would be a good idea to disconnect all the harnesses and apply dielectric grease. Also removing the door panels to removed any standing water and grime is a good call as well. IMO, a steal!
Gongrats Randy!Good looking machine(so jelous).Just won auction and win Peugeot 407 with 3,0V6,rare with that engine.Monday have to travel to otherside of Finland to get it.Love from Finland..
This video is super clean love the HD quality
I wouldn't go burn the tires, that a special car you got Randy. I wish i could have that beast! Tell us what the cleaning costs, I like to know what the market price is these days, I used to do that work 30 years ago, I still do it for people willing to pay my $250 service, it a lot of work you are right!
I found one! You said it couldn't happen! You can't say never, even if it only happened literally once, it could (keyword) happen again. Now where is it you may ask, since I'm not posting a link. Well Randy, you're driving it! And enjoying the heck out of it. Now you got to go show Tyler Hoovie how it's done. I think some of us viewers would be interested if you and Mike show up to Tyler's new "Dealership" in the near future.
When it’s in sport mode u have to use your paddle shifters,nice car randy u did good on this buy.
The California Special in the S550 platform are all Premium trim cars; heated/cooled seats, Sync3, and selectable drive modes. The California Special does have unique upholstered seats with Alcantara insert between the leather sides. That Coyote and 10 spd auto are pretty darn quick straight from the factory in the 1/4 mile.
I’ve owned a 2017 gt and a 15 gt and have drove mustangs most my life I love them. The fact that you got such a steal on this car is crazy a couple grand on a detail and you have a brand new car for 20 grand less then msrp
Nice !!! Seems water only got into the floor and no electrical damage, you stole this one !!
M-m-mustang! The crowd killer
Love it!
I like these sight unseens
years ago i worked for a all Ford salvage / rebuilder in Oklahoma. Rebuilding mostly F series Diesel pickups, some Lincolns, and higher end Fords. We did top quality work and stood behind everything we sold. If i did my job properly than even an experienced mechanic should have trouble trying to find the what was damaged. I never hid damage. I repaired the damage. builders who cut corners give the business a bad name. I have seen other builders do things like stacking shims under a cab mount to line up the body instead of fixing the frame that is bent. I have always said. You can fix it right or fix it twice, you decide. I have driven many wrecked cars. Some worse than others. But i have yet to drive a title. nice score for you.
Randy, I bought a 2003 Mecedes Benz CLK 500 with 73,000 miles. only damage was rear pumper. Got it replaced and painted the bumper and polished the whole car. Total cost $3,600.00. now my 22 years old daughter drives it. car is excellent. so salvage title is a o. k. for me..lol
You have a great taste for that mustang to begin with but most importantly you made a great investment on it and I hope that you'll keep that beautiful car for as long as you live.
I think you can make a few thousand on this car with the right buyer. But a reasonable person with 35k cash isn’t going to buy a flooded one of these. Really nice car. I’m glad it runs great. I hope you turn a profit. Great buy. I’m hoping for the best.
The car was a big win. Congratulations Randy.
That thing still sounds amazing, I think you got a steal! I have a 2013 GT and I agree oil dipstick is in a horrible spot same on mine lol
Hoping You Keep This One Randy! That One Is A Good One!
You scored big time with this one! Congrats Randy!! ✌️
i have owned several salvage titled cars, and all of them ended up being great cars! the ones that are not salvaged due to accidents, after fixing the issues that salvaged it, they are, imo, just as good of a car as a clean title car.
For the most part my 2018 gt got flooded. Front and rear seat underwater. Engine and trans fine. All the modules sit pretty far up so you should be fine.. I drove mine for another 3 months before selling it and I put a brand new trans in.
