    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! On now being a Retail Dealer, now you don’t have to reliant on copart or iaa…you’ve lost too much money there.

    The idea of opening a retail dealership and buying selling the newer cars with factory warranty still on them sounds
    like a pretty good idea Randy, i wish you the best of luck and i hope that it works out for you in the way you want it to.

    I think becoming a retail dealer is a fantastic idea because even on the cheap cars you buy now you always make sure that they are in basically retail condition both mechanically and cosmetic so I think you should be rewarded for that and being a retail dealer I think we'll do that. Because just like the two caddies that you have you spend a ton of money on made them 100% why not reap the rewards instead of letting these other dealerships or individuals get the cars cheaper than what you've got into them and then they make the money by the way the big boy caddy I love that car but being 70 years old it's very tough to getting a loan when you're on social security you see at the beginning of the pandemic I had to sell my '96 Lincoln Town car which only had 70,000 miles on it beautiful car and have nothing now and have to rely on people to take me back and forth to the doctors and such good luck with the transition

    First… so thankful the Aston Martin was found!!!
    Second… I hope whatever decision you make on the retail dealership is the right fit for you! Make no hasty decisions man.
    Thirdly…. I’d be willing to bet money that your 4L80E trans in the tow rig has a messed up reverse drum assembly in there. They do have a tendency to crack under pressure applied in reverse, and you lose reverse. I have two diesel trucks w/ 4L 80E trans currently, my ‘95 Suburban has lost reverse twice in almost 300k miles, same trans though. Let the trans man go through it for you. Not a hard trans to pull yourself, not sure it’ll go on your lift though the way you’re set up so that might not be what you wanna do. Hope that encourages you to make the right decision for your bottom line.

    I love the idea of you getting into retail. You can show us you picking and buying cars and getting them ready for retail. After they sell you can do a profit or loss video like you used to. I enjoyed those. You can still do the occasional older car or oddball car that may need a little more work as project content and still try to sell it for a profit. And of course still include some walk around videos.

    MyQ can be extremely buggy but I heard they got much better with the updates.
    The Fleetwood is a beautiful car such a nice big comfy cruiser anyone who buys it just remember it's for cruising and not daily driving, you can daily drive it if you want but you're going to be putting a lot of gas in it and it's going to really tear that car up over time I hope it goes to somebody that uses it every couple days or every once in a while as a neighborhood cruiser going to the store or something.
    Running that car daily would put such a strain in your pocket but hey if that's your priority go ahead and do it.

  • @PracticalDadd
    @PracticalDadd Рік тому

    Randy, it would probably be worth your time to check and verify with Copart that their contracted towing companies are legally and financially responsible for cars when they take possession.
    If so, then any damages or theft that occurs after the tower grabs it will be their responsibility and you would not be out the money.
    I would just strongly advise to have some type of proof that the company did indeed take the car, such as having the driver sign a document they did pick it up.
    Hoping you can have some peace of mind for future sales!

    Randy : your exhaust / vent pipe on your water heater is disconnected and can kill you & your dog by CO2 poisoning. Each joint on water heater vent pipe needs 3 screws per joint , please fix ASAP. It sounds like the vent pipe is condensating from insulation around vent pipe in attic. Rotties have a 300+ psi bite strength & are fearless. Stay safe brother.

    @wranglerdave6452 Рік тому +2

    Okay randy if you're going retail. Your are going to have to. Gravel your lot at minimum.. hire a company to come out to put down road mat. And 2 inch stone. Moisture from Grass is horrible for the under carriage of cars that will cause it to rust. . Your best bet would be concrete/ asphalt. But gravel will suffice.. start with a max of 4-8 cars. Don't just sell newer used cars also sell older good condition Used cars so you can cater to people that have lower a budget. Another good piece of advice don't hoard your inventory like hoovie did ( self admitted) you're doing this to make money.
    Also dealers who have a big heart go bankrupt. The key word is NO and that is an excellent OPTION .
    When you pick up a car do a walk-around video show every aspect of the vehicle in and out including a test drive. Like you do now. Look for 1 owner cars. P.s. Auto auction "rebuilds" doesn't sound like a very good name for a good used car lot. But
    "RANDY'S QUALITY USED CARS" now that sounds better. P s. Don't finance any car. Own your inventory free and clear so you're not beholden to a bank. Because the economy is not stable. Don't be left in a situation like you almost were with the Aston Martin . Just advice. Good luck with your new retail dealership
