you hate selling cheap cars? dude you LOVE cheap cars lol. You love bringing em back and doubling your money! Seriously, sure, exotics and high end are "fun" but I see you when you clean up a pig and it turns out great. You get stoked. What you DO hate was when German made more money than you on your cheap cars though hehehe
@@mph5896 Sometimes yes. But craig has shown repeatedly that he makes MUCH more selling 5 cheap cars than 1 expensive one. I think he only made $800 on his Bentley and maybe $1000 on his astin martin. German made 3x that on ONE of his beaters. If he puts $500 into that lincoln, be paid $1200 for it. If he can sell it for $3000 he's doubled his money. Not to mention there are more people looking to buy decent cheap cars than there are looking to buy $25000 cars. Specially now with the economy being in the dumpster. Now craig doesn't tell us about EVERY car he sells, but the ones that he has? He makes a much better ROI on cheaper cars than $15K + ones. If he buys 10 cars worth $1200 he spends about $12,000. He bought ONE SUV in this video for $12K. Now on those 10 cars, he'll make $2000 each. That equals $24K profit. He said he "might" be able to sell that $12K chrysler for $20, he'll make $8K on it. Do you think it is better to make $8K or $24K? Now he wont' get $20K on that chrysler. A flood car is worth about half what a non is. If it's listed at $30K "good" he'll be lucky to get $15K flood. I will admit I'm not in the car biz but I have been in sales for the better part of 30 years. It's all about cash flow and ROI and turnover.
@@muskokamike127 Car business has some differences over other sales areas. Craig is limited on how many units he can move each month based on his ability to buy, get them ready, inspect them, and physically sell them. It's not an infinite number. The specialty items he is purchasing like the Bentley is a toy for himself that costs him no money out of pocket. He can buy said toy, drive it until he is tired of it and still break even or even show he made a little $ off it. His bread and butter is the $15-20k trucks and suv's. This is based the his region he is in. Plus he is looking for higher mileage fancy "budget" $15-20k trucks/suv's , so the buyers can have what the rich are paying $60-100k for. And getting them financed to boot. Craig has explained MANY times why cheap cars are a pain. First thing is, they are old. In his region old usually equals rust. So more rust to deal with including underbody. Old usually also equals neglect or not repairing items for years and having multiple problems building up on cars. That $1k car might have 5 fairly major things wrong with it. In an area like his that requires inspections, all 5 of those items might have to be repaired at a cost that exceeds the cost of the car. Plus "cheap" attracts people that have little to no money. A $2,000 car might be a persons entire life savings to buy that car. When that 15 year old car breaks in a month, they are all up in Craigs business demanding this and that even though it was sold "as-is". If you are paying somebody else to fix your car, stuff is VERY expensive. My neighbor Brought her car to the local Subaru dealer for a look over. They quoted her $5k for some repairs including wheel bearings, tie rod ends, timing belt service and valve cover gaskets. Sure, a non dealer might be cheaper, but still prob close to $3k. In addition, budget buyers expectations are VERY high. That $2k car is going to have cosmetic and some mechanical issues that these buyers nitpick. His ideal purchases to maximize moving cars are the units that need little to no work. That way his time can be utilized to move other stuff. That Yukon, if it just requires a drop-off to the detailer and an inspection with little to no repairs. That is going to be MUCH quicker over that Lincoln that might need 3-4 items repaired, paint correction of the body, sourced a worn out interior part such as a seat cover and exc... The ROI at a pint does not matter since he is limited to how many units he can blow through. He operates on all cash, so everything he has is his money. Lets say he has $200k of inventory he is sitting on, making 100% roi on a beater is no different over making the same amount of $ on a $15k car. Which ever unit is easier to prep and sell is the winner in that scenario.
The average person doesn't have access to dealer only auctions, so paying $1,000 for a halfway decent car is in the realm where there may or may not be a lion, witch, and a wardrobe. How much do those with dealer licenses pay for brand new regular cars that are being sent to auction by dealerships to make room for 2023 inventory? For example, how much would would someone who can participate in dealer only auctions expect to pay for a 2022 Chevrolet TRAX base model with MSRP of $26,529 with less than 1,000 miles?
Don't trash the Lincoln. ALOT of older people are REALLY feeling the inflation and need solid reliable transportation. The Car Wizard loves all these Panther chassis Fords. Clean it up, service it and make someone happy.
Maybe fix it up, find an elderly couple in need of a car and donate it to them? That would be a good video. Then tell the couple to watch Scammer Payback so the don’t fall for anything.
As a 20 year Florida resident who sees too many of these driven by seniors, they shouldn't be driving a V8 powered vehicle where they can't see the corners.
As one of the older folks on a limited budget I would kil for that lincoln. Especially since my truck died Saturday and not sure i can afford to get it fixed. So yeah he should just sell it. I would 100% buy it if I had the cash.

It's good to see the car prices getting back to normal at the auctions but it may take a little longer to see realistic prices on Craigslist. Always enjoy your videos here in the sunny south.
Cheers to Papa Al .. Always great to see him, He's a great guy, and he has a T-Bird,that i love, leave the Lincoln the way it is, what do i know I'm 75..lol
Gotta love it when a UA-camr listens! Video feels much better without all the constant pop up sounds! 370z is a nice find! Didn’t knew about the gear selector button, 350z didn’t have it. Lincoln is boring, I say fix it, clean it, and sell it! Great vid!
That button is the on/off button for the rev match feature, I don't think it's a on/off feature for the gear selection display, I have a base model without rev match but from forums posts on reddit under /370z this is my understanding of that function.
Good ol poverty panther platform. Glad I found the channel as a life long car business guy who's spent life times watching auctions. Always fun to watch others do it.
That looks like a Manheim Auction to me? I was in the business for many years. wholesale, and retail. I sure miss it! It was life in the fast lane we called it! I like to see this, good memories! I can tell you're a savy dealer! You know what you're doing.
I bought a 2003 corolla s in 2006 from lousiana with a salvaged flood title. The car has zero problems for 10 years before I sold it for the same price I paid for it.
Hi Craig, very big fan of Flying wheels. Very telling how you respect your employees, you’re an inspiration to me. I’m a dealer in Florida and I learned a lot from you. Thank you 🙏
I'd be checking that 370z to see if it's been turbocharged. They were really popular to mod, and the turbo sits way down in there and is easily overlooked
What a great car to find at auction Craig and for a guy like me who is in a wheelchair and on a budget that LTC is an awesome deal , thanks for the great content my friend 👍
I've been driving rear wheel drive most of my life. I currently own front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and 4 wheel drive vehicles. Putting the 4 wheel drives aside, I much prefer rear wheel drive in inclement weather (rain, show, mud) over front wheel drive.
I tried to go legit selling used cars, but it's more of a pain in the ass then it was worth. The dealer auctions would have been nice, but there's deals to be had with public auctions and repairables. A lot of them are worth more parted out, and I figured out how to title cars in different states so I never go over the yearly allowance (which is 5 in my state). Between the loopholes in Vermont, South Dakota, and my home state I can flip 27 cars on paper myself, my brother lives in a different state so I can title 6 there a year and a lot of them I just jump the title. I don't sell a car more than every 2 weeks anyway. Probably a wash leaving the government out of it and I haven't had an issue in the last 3 years since I started doing it. Advertising is cheap online, free in most cases so unless you want a corner lot to sell off of, no reason to go legit.
@@JamaicanMillionaire Jumping the title just means buying and selling without transferring it into your name. The owner selling it to you just signs the title and you sell it again with that same title.
That's just it too. Had to fight the junkyards for some of the cheaper cars the last couple years. Now that things are getting plentiful at the auctions again this should be our time to shine again. I'm steady looking for neglected Saabs with good bodies to fix up with my dad so fingers crossed the prices stay low.

My family had a Denali with the 6 of us we used it to haul the Boat we got it detailed and then the week after it got picked up and totaled by a tornado.
I've owned an Auto detailing shop for 20 + yrs!!! Life is Great!!!❤ I'm So happy I QUIT detailing vehicles for the foreigners!!! Junk! Flood cars!! Never want to pay more than $100.00 for a Complete Detail!!! I quit working on their junk years ago!!!God bless you Flying Wheels ❤
I'm late to this conversation but if you still have the Lincoln I say you sell raffle tickets and give it away. From watching your videos it's clear you are good/fair to your local community. Hopefully someone who really needs a solid car but can't afford one would end up with it. At least it could be marketed that way? Plus I think it would make a good video.
Hey Craig, nice video, keep up with the great auction content… You mentioned in one of your videos that you’re buying from ACV Auctions, what are your thoughts about them/ car prices, fees etc? Thanks.
From being a wholesaler for 25 years ,you know what the wife wants ? Just a nice reliable vehicle. As much as you love buying and selling ,and surprising the wife with a new vehicle ,they hate it with a passion
That was a sickening good steal of a buy on that Limited Pacifica!! I drive a flood car that had 500 miles on it and was brand new from a dealer flood. All it had done was cleaned!
When I was 18 or so I bought a 2001 Chevy luminary for $260 total. Nobody wanted it because it wouldn't turn on but my then-boyfriends buddy brought a battery pack and charged it up enough for it to turn on. Zero problems with it! I finally traded it about a year later for a Camry my dad bought for me as he wanted the lumina for his friend. Though I also didn't take care of if since it was so cheap which I definitely regret. Either way I loved that car and it was an amazing deal!
Holdup, that 03 camry sold for $475... I own a 03 camry I just bought in April and I paid about $5000 for it... Guess I'm riding it til the wheels fall off.
Stay honest to the Lincoln. Dress it up and sell to a person that needs a quality car for a reasonable price. something that is desperately needed and, as you've said, has been a rare find in the last couple of years
I’ve never considered going to an auto auction. I need to get a cheap commuter car. I could care less what it looks like.. just need good gas mileage and reliability. This video helped me a lot. I am pretty much looking for the same deal!
Need a couple 2x6's would have kept the bumper on! I had a 05 G35 Coupe 6sp, besides the quart of oil a week it burned it was an awesome car. I bought it for 15k with 63k miles drove it 4 years sold it for 5k to a guy at work 2 years later bought it back for $2,500 sold the next day for $3,500 to a kid trying to flip cars. He installed a new clutch that threw 9 cel codes and wouldn't run right. Bought it back from him for $2,500 he bought the wrong clutch kit, put stock flex plate back on and sold it for $5k bought and sold the same car 3 times! LOL should have kept it and just LS swapped it.
I bought a 2004 Pacifica limited in perfect condition with 200,000 miles at an auction for $300 tires looked new etc etc looked like it had 50k miles. It needed one sensor for $20 bucks
I like the comment you made at the end about what you would list it at and what you would probably end up getting for it. Seeing these auction prices and then what local dealers are asking there is a big gap even after accounting for reconditioning. They are taking a risk and have to make a profit but some of the asking prices are crazy on 15 yr old high mileage cars and I wonder what they end up getting for them.
Bare in mind that auction prices are just now starting to come down. For the past few years these cars were going for double at auction. So even more on the lots. This is going to really start hurting dealers as he mentioned early in the video. They bought it for $2500 6mo ago, tried to sell it for $4000, but now it's only worth $2500 (at best). So do you take a loss, or hold it forever. Not great choices. I'd feel bad for dealers, but most are so shady I can't seem to find an ounce of sympathy... lol.
Thanks for mentioning and giving a little intel on the mustangs at the auction. I've been on the hunt for a coyote engine mustang for a while I prefer the s550 but I would take a s197 if it was a killer deal. The hunt continues thanks bro!
@RiceRocket that's cool but I HATE payments I want to pay cash. I want my car to be mine not the banks it feels much better.. I have a friend who does what this bro does he's been doing it for like 20 years so I'm gonna have him be on the lookout for me at the auctions.. I have the cash to buy pretty much any mustang I just love best bang for your buck deals so I'm waiting till I find my sick blessing deal it's coming soon I can feel it in my bones. The prices are falling and falling..
I think something that would be cool is if you parted the Lincoln out to see how much profit you can make doing that angle as well. Also love the videos Craig keep it up!!
I think most people are here for tips on buying and selling cheap cars . I watch all the videos EXCEPT the ones where you cut the roof of SUVs or adding cutouts to the exhaust. Just my opinion
Hey Greg, with the Mercedes, it could be that the bags have deflated over time with it not being on. I have one with a similar air suspension and if I do not start it for a week it'll start sagging. Just a heads up
Did you try to jump start the Escalade? It looks great and people purposely leave stuff on to kill the battery on vehicles they want hoping to get them cheaper (I'm sure you know that but I'm surprised you don't Carry a jump box) And it looks way to nice to cut the roof off if as you said they are Great vehicles!
The cords with fabric seats are like the dodge fabric seats. Water stains them. Just have a detail place use an extractor to clean seats when they dry they will all match no stains
I found a buick like that about a year and a half ago when car prices were ridiculous. It was immaculate with 50k miles and like a 2004 or so. They wanted like $4200 and it sat there for a year lol. So although it was in beautiful condition, most kids looking in that price range are not willing to be seen in such a monstrosity of a vehicle, which is truly a shame.
I have an 05 base model mercury grand marquis 270k miles runs like a starving cheetah. No lights on steers stop and drives str8. That Lincoln should be a great car👍🏿
Just found your channel and love your videos. I loved the comment about your wife being a basic "b"....and then clarifying it that she isn't into swiping screens but knobs and push buttons. I , too am a basic "b" then cause all the new fangled garbage on cars and trucks nowadays, truly stinks. Just give me a car, where I can turn on the heat, roll down a window, twirl the button to my favorite station, or just stick a cd into my cd player...I have actually been looking for 2 years now for a nice used car with navigation system and basic everything else, but unfortunately, I cannot find anything with those two items, it is all swipey, picture gadgets or none...seems kinda silly what they are putting into cars nowadays when basic is all that is needed for anyone. Great videos. Thank you for all the work you have put into them. Love the auction ones. Please do more. 🙂
I do have my 2002 Chevy blazer I can give it as trade it has a blown rod in it so I can't drive it at all now and something's wrong with when it did drive it moved back and fourth not sure what that problem was
Hei, Craig, now that the prices are stsrting to come down, would you consider restarting the 400$ to a ferrari/supercar challenge? To be honest, 2nd episode of this challange was recommender by youtube and i stayed since, but, i'd like to see you take another chance at it with a more normal car market.
Canadian ex dealer and scrapper here. If the Lincoln checks out, flip it and give someone who can't afford anything more expensive a vehicle to be proud of driving.
I think you should just get her clean and give her a new loving home. She looks in pretty good condition. Someone will appreciate that vehicle even with the high miles. Those motors are bulletproof with normal service.

Pretty kewl, thx for the trip to the auction! Man they sure are making life nice for the soccer mom's now a days, that van was beautiful.
I can certainly see how margins can be really tight on a $1k car if larger repairs are needed. I wonder if it's a problem with the alternator.

I've owned an Auto detailing shop for 20 + yrs!!! Life is Great!!!❤ I'm So happy I QUIT detailing vehicles for the foreigners!!! Junk! Flood cars!! Never want to pay more than $100.00 for a Complete Detail!!! I quit working on their junk years ago!!!God bless you Flying Wheels ❤
They never want to pay for anything
I'm late to this conversation but if you still have the Lincoln I say you sell raffle tickets and give it away.
From watching your videos it's clear you are good/fair to your local community.
Hopefully someone who really needs a solid car but can't afford one would end up with it. At least it could be marketed that way?
Plus I think it would make a good video.
I'VE OWNED 14 LINCOLNS!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE EM!!!❤ Even sold em at the Lincoln dealership!!!
Hey Craig, nice video, keep up with the great auction content… You mentioned in one of your videos that you’re buying from ACV Auctions, what are your thoughts about them/ car prices, fees etc? Thanks.
I use them all the time for buying and selling
Full hydraulics on that Lincoln. 3 wheel, front hop, back hop; all of it.
From being a wholesaler for 25 years ,you know what the wife wants ? Just a nice reliable vehicle. As much as you love buying and selling ,and surprising the wife with a new vehicle ,they hate it with a passion
That was a sickening good steal of a buy on that Limited Pacifica!! I drive a flood car that had 500 miles on it and was brand new from a dealer flood. All it had done was cleaned!
Great editing craig. Thank you for listening. :)
The Lincoln is the is the best buy on this video.....that engine is AMAZING, 173,000 miles is nothing on this beautiful car......love your videos.
370z was an absolute steal! I love these cars and that will go for 15k in a single day let it sit for a few months and 17k
When I was 18 or so I bought a 2001 Chevy luminary for $260 total. Nobody wanted it because it wouldn't turn on but my then-boyfriends buddy brought a battery pack and charged it up enough for it to turn on. Zero problems with it! I finally traded it about a year later for a Camry my dad bought for me as he wanted the lumina for his friend. Though I also didn't take care of if since it was so cheap which I definitely regret. Either way I loved that car and it was an amazing deal!
Holdup, that 03 camry sold for $475... I own a 03 camry I just bought in April and I paid about $5000 for it... Guess I'm riding it til the wheels fall off.
At least you’re saving gas
@@rollospeakstruth4313 Except I average 20 mpg...
@@JK-tu1xx no way I average 16mpg and I drive a v8 truck you have a 4 cylinder, something ain’t adding up
@@rollospeakstruth4313 It's old, burns a good amount of oil, has a lot of sticky parts that need to be fixed up and add to the resistance.
Stay honest to the Lincoln. Dress it up and sell to a person that needs a quality car for a reasonable price. something that is desperately needed and, as you've said, has been a rare find in the last couple of years
Completely agree
You should practice safety on the auction lot, going a little quick in that Z!
Where I live, they would bust your nuts for going faster than 10mph.
Chill karen
When I listen at 2x you’re perfectly legible and have a ton of information and kind of takes the long winded ness out.
Lots of good onfo
super clean, would clean it up and sell it
Low rider for sure. Maybe a couple of switches. The youth would love it. LA custom style Dayton wheels 🛞
I’ve never considered going to an auto auction. I need to get a cheap commuter car. I could care less what it looks like.. just need good gas mileage and reliability. This video helped me a lot. I am pretty much looking for the same deal!
Craig you got a steal on that Lincoln Cartier Town Car! Just clean it and sell it!
Need a couple 2x6's would have kept the bumper on! I had a 05 G35 Coupe 6sp, besides the quart of oil a week it burned it was an awesome car. I bought it for 15k with 63k miles drove it 4 years sold it for 5k to a guy at work 2 years later bought it back for $2,500 sold the next day for $3,500 to a kid trying to flip cars. He installed a new clutch that threw 9 cel codes and wouldn't run right. Bought it back from him for $2,500 he bought the wrong clutch kit, put stock flex plate back on and sold it for $5k bought and sold the same car 3 times! LOL should have kept it and just LS swapped it.
Your delivery and style of videography is very entertaining.. 👍🏼
Wow! I think you really really scored on the Chrysler Pacifica!
Price in Canada 37k
@@darrenmahabir6510 Yes but with our exchange rate that’s about 27,000 usd. Still a great buy though.
I bought a 2004 Pacifica limited in perfect condition with 200,000 miles at an auction for $300 tires looked new etc etc looked like it had 50k miles.
It needed one sensor for $20 bucks
Love the Lincoln, got one, 4.6 duel over head cam.
It would kick butt in a demolition derby!
Use the motor for a mustang when done.
I like the comment you made at the end about what you would list it at and what you would probably end up getting for it. Seeing these auction prices and then what local dealers are asking there is a big gap even after accounting for reconditioning. They are taking a risk and have to make a profit but some of the asking prices are crazy on 15 yr old high mileage cars and I wonder what they end up getting for them.
Bare in mind that auction prices are just now starting to come down. For the past few years these cars were going for double at auction. So even more on the lots. This is going to really start hurting dealers as he mentioned early in the video. They bought it for $2500 6mo ago, tried to sell it for $4000, but now it's only worth $2500 (at best). So do you take a loss, or hold it forever. Not great choices. I'd feel bad for dealers, but most are so shady I can't seem to find an ounce of sympathy... lol.
Lots of Buy Here Pay Here outfits jack up prices on these cars because it's all about monthly payment to those buyers.
Flood damage cars a big risk. Months later electrical problems can arise from corrosion.
Thanks for mentioning and giving a little intel on the mustangs at the auction. I've been on the hunt for a coyote engine mustang for a while I prefer the s550 but I would take a s197 if it was a killer deal. The hunt continues thanks bro!
Look at new s550’s sometimes there’s promos and deals. Got my 2020 GT for 36k CAD new
@RiceRocket that's cool but I HATE payments I want to pay cash. I want my car to be mine not the banks it feels much better.. I have a friend who does what this bro does he's been doing it for like 20 years so I'm gonna have him be on the lookout for me at the auctions.. I have the cash to buy pretty much any mustang I just love best bang for your buck deals so I'm waiting till I find my sick blessing deal it's coming soon I can feel it in my bones. The prices are falling and falling..
I think something that would be cool is if you parted the Lincoln out to see how much profit you can make doing that angle as well. Also love the videos Craig keep it up!!
I love that 370 Z !!! Great video !!!
Donate it Craig!! It's the season!!
Good stuff Craig loved the 370Z buy! Easy $15k
You paid $1,000, I have $1,200 that’s burning a hole in my pocket, what do you say I come pick it up and save you the trouble and all that hard work?…
1000 doesnt cover all the fees on top of that that will add up to 12 easily
Can’t hear you over the auction. But a headset mic for when you’re that close to auction.
I think most people are here for tips on buying and selling cheap cars . I watch all the videos EXCEPT the ones where you cut the roof of SUVs or adding cutouts to the exhaust. Just my opinion
Hey Greg, with the Mercedes, it could be that the bags have deflated over time with it not being on. I have one with a similar air suspension and if I do not start it for a week it'll start sagging. Just a heads up
Did you try to jump start the Escalade?
It looks great and people purposely leave stuff on to kill the battery on vehicles they want hoping to get them cheaper (I'm sure you know that but I'm surprised you don't Carry a jump box)
And it looks way to nice to cut the roof off if as you said they are Great vehicles!
The cords with fabric seats are like the dodge fabric seats. Water stains them. Just have a detail place use an extractor to clean seats when they dry they will all match no stains
I found a buick like that about a year and a half ago when car prices were ridiculous.
It was immaculate with 50k miles and like a 2004 or so.
They wanted like $4200 and it sat there for a year lol.
So although it was in beautiful condition, most kids looking in that price range are not willing to be seen in such a monstrosity of a vehicle, which is truly a shame.
You need to scan using the OBD port.
Fix it up...clean it up.....someone will get a great daily driver.
Hi from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤ Love the Lincoln car all over the rest
Do you think buying from an auction could be viable for a personal car ?
I have an 05 base model mercury grand marquis 270k miles runs like a starving cheetah. No lights on steers stop and drives str8. That Lincoln should be a great car👍🏿
Just sell it its lovely the way it is
Just found your channel and love your videos. I loved the comment about your wife being a basic "b"....and then clarifying it that she isn't into swiping screens but knobs and push buttons. I , too am a basic "b" then cause all the new fangled garbage on cars and trucks nowadays, truly stinks.
Just give me a car, where I can turn on the heat, roll down a window, twirl the button to my favorite station, or just stick a cd into my cd player...I have actually been looking for 2 years now for a nice used car with navigation system and basic everything else, but unfortunately, I cannot find anything with those two items, it is all swipey, picture gadgets or none...seems kinda silly what they are putting into cars nowadays when basic is all that is needed for anyone. Great videos. Thank you for all the work you have put into them. Love the auction ones. Please do more. 🙂
Don’t mess it up
Keep it stock and original
I love your grandpa.... Popay AL.. my love to him
I’d just fix and sell the Lincoln
I do have my 2002 Chevy blazer I can give it as trade it has a blown rod in it so I can't drive it at all now and something's wrong with when it did drive it moved back and fourth not sure what that problem was
I'd sell the Lincoln...it's a classic that should not be altered...plus money is king...lol
Hi, you probably have sold the Nissan 370z but the "S", was the Rev Matching. Great video. All the best Shaun of NYC
Hei, Craig, now that the prices are stsrting to come down, would you consider restarting the 400$ to a ferrari/supercar challenge? To be honest, 2nd episode of this challange was recommender by youtube and i stayed since, but, i'd like to see you take another chance at it with a more normal car market.
Canadian ex dealer and scrapper here. If the Lincoln checks out, flip it and give someone who can't afford anything more expensive a vehicle to be proud of driving.
It's that time of year to be Santa if your able. A 1k car may feel minor to you, however huge to others
Could use it to make a rally truck type car out of.. or do a front end swap from the Lincoln to a rally truck like they do with the crown vics
For the Lincoln, make it roadworthy and donate it to a family in need.
I Couldn't think of something more beneficial than that. Noteworthy idea right here
YOOOO PAPA ALLLL,, good to see him!!,, also the green truck is a Mitsubishi Jeep, no connection with the brand Jeep, just the model name
I wish I could find cars this cheap and good in my country T.T
I vote sell for profit. Having owned a town car they will always be in my heart. Let a kid enjoy it
Well I'm glad to hear Craig's wife is easy
Your Lincoln was the Deal of the Day ! Winner Winner !
Sell it!
Your wife sounds like a smart lady keep her happy feller. L.O.L👍
I think you should just get her clean and give her a new loving home. She looks in pretty good condition. Someone will appreciate that vehicle even with the high miles. Those motors are bulletproof with normal service.
Where is this at? The auction? I went to a few a long long time ago. Not sure where they have them where I live now.
