- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- We bought more water damage cars and could not get them shipped so we went up there to pick them up with our dad and his car hauler. We inspected the cars again and found one to have a blown engine. Thanks for all the support and leave us a comment, we love ur guys input.

A couple of things I enjoy about your videos. Both of you almost always are smiling and positive. And no way can anyone accurately say you're lazy.
I think the brothers energize each other to move forward
I am really enjoying the flood cars episodes. I like them all because I am in my end days and it is great to watch you guys the nights that I can't sleep. God bless you boys.
Engine-Change episode on the Sienna would be an awesome episode. Hope it still makes some value.
Greetings from Greece
I would dig that too, I don't think anyone's done a Sienna rebuild before
After you found out about the van engine issue, next I see is your head on your arm/table showing the bummer position, then raised your head up with a smile... very classic. Always be positive.
You guys really showcase how anyone can succeed in America if you do the work. Keep it up
Flood cars gurus. Great work! No one thought about flood cars but they're making it work👍
It's amazing to see cars like this that are TITLED salvage and to think of all the people that think buying a salvage car is a bad idea. Yes I understand that there are risks involved but at least do the research. Great work Niko Brothers.....Definitely MOTIVATING.
yes its a bad idea. poor ppl buy these cars and end up having continuous electrical issues which cost thousands down the road until they are scrapped. these cars should be crushed.
Man sorry about the Sienna. But love this content and your channel. The positive attitude is awesome...life is a series of solving problems, might as well solve them with a smile!
Nikos car dealership opening soon in a town near you....lol
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND DO YOU HAVE ANY CARS FOR SALE NOW? AND, HOW DO A PERSON QUALIFY TO GET A CAR?
Where are you guys located at
On UA-cam geez lol
😂😂😂😂
Im that sleezey used car salesman always looking for a couple bucks more if your hiring? Lmao
Niko brothers..... thank you all so much for your HONESTY. Am really enjoying your program all the way from London, England..... Keep It Up Guys👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the positive attitude no matter what, always smiling. Great videos, keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing it all. The good bad and the ugly. My life long friend we met in 1960 . It's long story. But we've been friends more like brothers. Anyway we live in Greenville and may pay you a visit. If that's OK. Take care
Bought a car from these guys, great shop, good dudes and top quality work! 2015 STI keep it up!
You guys are doing great, just one stumble in the road I am sure you can get an engine for the Sienna. Positive attitude is the key. Great video content and keep going. Stay safe and healthy thanks 😊
Love your vids restoring the flooded cars but what would be really good if you could occasionally take us through the whole procedure from your winning bid to the eventual sale to a happy customer. Lots of editing , I know, but very rewarding viewing.
Amazing that these flood cars 🚗 still start up and could probably go on a road trip
In honor of all these flood cars, you guys should warn viewers of the sneaky practice of "washing" title on salvage cars. Some unscrupulous buyers will purchase a vehicle in one state, and register it in another where the salvage status is not indicated on the title. Then they sell it with a supposedly "clean" title for a lot more. You can discover the history of any car by running the V.I.N. on one of the services which do that- carfax, autocheck, etc. Cheap for the peace of mind.
Way more common than people think unfortunately
Jack's of all trades (All in the family). Another exciting video. Regards
1 unfortunate apple doesn't spoil the rest of deals you have. Good job guys 👍
Flood cars are a mixed bag because you never know what your going to get. Worst is all the electrical issues, modules and wiring etc and of the course dealing with the green monster....corrosion, even worse when its salt water. Biggest problem I find is that the electrical issues even when you think they are gone always seem to sneak up later on... and it becomes a constant headache.
Worst is when you see some guy go and buy the salvage flood vehicles clean them up and then sell them on ebay and marketplace etc and say it was a freshwater flooded vehicle...lol and those guys are the worst they do as little as possible and just clean them up replace the least they can and try and selling them at a profit without doing next to nothing to them.
Your braver souls than I am parts yes, would I try and resell one...no Just to avoid the headaches of an unhappy customer who might not be happy down the road.. If you were keeping it for yourself maybe.... but I try and avoid them other than parts.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎁🎄 GUYS HOPE YOU BOTH HAVE. BLESSED ONE
I can't wait to see the rebuild on the van you guys do awesome work. Starting to look forward to your videos more than any other I watch
You will find another engine for the sienna.. I’ve learnt that with flooded cars check everything too but allow for something to be broken 😉
great video again, really enjoy them although some of the cars are unknown here in the UK.....you work ethic is fabulous and take everything as it come...great attitude.....look forward to all your videos, keep up the good work....
Hi guys just wanted to say loving the videos awesome to watch so lucky to be able to do what you do different laws here in Australia
Nice work lots of love my all brother
I just learn the work from you
You guys are doing an awesome job on recovering the flooded vehicles. We’ve lost a vehicle to flooding before so we know how nasty that can be but we appreciate the painstaking process you’re going through to bring them back. Sorry about the Toyota van but that’s only one out of eight. I’d say you’ve got a pretty good record going. Keep it up. My brother had to buy a car in Nashville this week and the market is very tight and way over priced. So I know you will be helping many people with these cars.
I'd say one bad egg out of the whole pile you've brought home is pretty good!
You guys got some great stuff! Sucks about the sienna tho
Bad luck with that last one guy's ,good video.👍✌
Having your own car transporter is soooo cool :)
Great video. Going to be some good content stripping out the engine and getting a replacement. Quick question, what happened to the RV up north from you? Did you give up with it in the end?
Nothing like a road trip with dad!
Keep them coming Guys,one bad one out of all those not bad going.Buy the way like the transporter,how much fuel did the Truck use ?.
So far so good 👍
i would like to see you guys change the engine on the Sienna , keep the videos coming enjoy watching them very much
Your smashing it with these cars fantastic buys and I am sure you guys can and will sort any problems that might rear it's ugly head.we really can not get enough of you guys in the UK everyone talking about the Audi beautiful car you should keep that one 👍👍👍👍👍👌
Loving these flood videos.
I think you've done really good only having 1 bad engine. Onward and upward 👍the flying scotsman
When it comes right down to it, I think you still did very well concidering how many cars you bought and how many where actually bad. 👌👍
Is this a one off thing, or are you starting up a used car lot? (or maybe you already have a lot)😀👍
Well one car out of all those (however many) is OK I'm my book. You could sell as a none runner but I reckon you will get an engine for it . There is still plenty of work to do on all the other cars. Great video Brothers. 👍
The good thing you got a lot of junk yards with a lot of sienna engines you can change them and make the flip.
How much is the Honda Accord 2018 your going to sell for? I would love to buy a newer one. I have 2009 Honda Accord.
what happened with the sienna? did it hydrolock and that's why the rod went through the block? how come you're able to still spin it? thanks for the great videos
One out eight is good that went swimming with those are good odds. Your are going to come out ahead of the game. Great Video ✌🏽
I really love you guys videos I am thinking about getting into rehab in cars keep up the great work
I like it. Follow from Thailand.
Keep the videos coming! If possible enable closed captions when you post.
If the automatic trans fluid looks like a strawberry shake, drain it immediately and change the filter. Then cycle it some and drain it and fill it again. You might have to do this more than 2 times.
Nice video guys! One thing anyone of us shouldn't do... NEVER start an engine of a flooded vehicle!
The busy brothers 😁
I love the content
I like the 2018 body style of the Accord
They all look pretty good, should be a good profit margin..........
So far you guys are pretty blessed about all of them
Glad to see that people are buying these cars even when they know theyre flooded...
A lot of banks won't loan on a salvage title. But does save the cash customers money.
Second Honda had water in the air filter, do you still trust that water line?
The 2018 Accord probably got all that damage while it was floating around in the streets.
I have seen many customers with their Side x Sides and Atv's coming in for warranty after a mud bog event and not having a clue why their engine shot a rod through the block? No, they knew and were just playing dumb.
Polaris has a coating on the throttle body plates that turn a pinkish color when water hits them and it's game over and time to break out the wallet for a new SBT long block.
thanks for the tip. note to self, replace throttle body plate before taking it in for warranty work
You guys are on a roll!!!!
What did you pay for the accord and how many miles?
You guys are straight up BEASTS!
Great channel guy's. Dents, Fire, or Flood no problem for the Niko Brothers.👍👍👍
Some really good deals yall got I think theres plenty of profit to be made
you got hurt on the Sienna for sure. Maybe you can get a good low mile engine to replace that one.
Dad to the rescue!
Make sure the Subaru Eyesight works, front impact safety technology, it’s probably a electrical problem with cruise control. The Nissan Maxima has biohazard, mold inside the white powdery substance, mildew inside. The Toyota Sienna is probably not running since it has starting problem, so check for bio written on the windows. Check out for biohazard if it does this means that water sat in the interior and mold spread through the interior, bio, mold, mildew, stench smell, like it’s not pleasant.
That maxima has a aftermarket sunroof like my pilot has, it’s amazing it’s fully power lol
nice job guys as always
On 26:42 you forgot the paper on the intake and the engine has sucked it but anyway the engine is bad , be careful not to do that on a good engine .
Love those videos
You should glue on some LED strip on your lift it would help you for the lighting problem :)
that would be a great idea
@@NikoBrothers i used to work for a rustproofing company and we did this because is is energy efficient is does not take much space and light up very well
Are you reselling these cars as salvage flood vehicles? What bank would finance these? Is it a cash only lot?
Also love the flood vehicle content
Should always remove the plugs when turning them over, that engine may of been good to start with.
If u think it’s hydrolocked, in the past we poured diesel in and left it 24 hours and it was fine
After sitting for days it should of gotten outa the top of the piston into the oil by then
One bad apple out of all of them, is not a bad deal.
Brothers with those car contents flood cars
i wanna see a full video from start to finish(to where you sell it) on that maxima :D
Nikos, les compraría una de esas máquinas, lástima que estoy en Argentina un país donde los impuestos son más caros que el producto. Les mando un abrazo grande
I'll bet that the Sienna was running when it hit some deep water.
How do you guys move the vehicle that you drive from one state to another do you have a plate on the back ???
One other thing you guys need to check, the cabin air filter
I'm sure you can fix or swap this engine, flooded cars have hidden issues. It will be interesting to rebuild it.
interesting stuff......
Awesome !
Niko Bros another cool video , 👍🏽👏🏽💯
Do you guys replace the cabin filters on these flood cars,?
Yes we check them out and replace them if needed
Water rides !
Pretty good deal only ok be bad one.. well still you did good except for one. Good luck with all.
Even with a factory new engine for the last one its still a great "DEAL" look at the Positives..........
Guys you make great videos...
Seven out of eight running car not bad that one could use as parts car.
What’s up guys one of the 1k cars you bought was bad I would saw that’s a huge win I would just part it out
Nice cars
You have done really well with the no run and drive so finding one that’s bust isn’t too bad really.
Yupp still a win for you 2 if Van is only one with bad motor !
You'll find another Toyota engine for that van in a boneyard without any effort at all.
It was likely blown and someone was blessed with the flood.
They were driving it and it sucked up water that's what wood break the connecting rod and that's why there was water in the cylinders
I have been trying to get a sr max . I like them .
Now u need a bigger shop
Alright, alright, another great episode!
tnx for the video
People ask how much they should pay for a "good deal" on a flood car. First of all, I would not recommend buying a non-runner, unless you're a mechanic and have a shop like the Niko Brothers. When I was in the business, I would tried to buy 'clean titled' auction cars for less than wholesale value. I could then afford to repair and sell them for wholesale value and everyone was happy. For a salvage vehicle, I'd try to stay around 1/4 wholesale value. The thing is, if it's a popular make and model, you'll be bidding against other guys who may just want "that car" and in their head are bidding against retail book price. If it's at the auction, it's NEVER worth retail. A lot of salvage cars these days go overseas, where the title status doesn't mean anything as long as it looks good and runs.
hey Niko Bros... how do i determine the value of a vehicle with a salvage title versus a clean one?
Pub blaster the seat motor and gears.
