The seller wanting $21k for that 2015 Silverado with 130k miles is absolutely insane. No person in their right mind would pay that. Looked like a fairly base model LT too. I have a 2017 4x4 Silverado with almost 190k miles and I’d probably be lucky to get $10k.
I’ve got a 22’ Canyon Elevation with just under 13k on the odometer. Mint condition. One owner. KBB appraised it at between $32 and $34k trade in value and $34 to $36k private party. Insane. Carnax offered me $31k sight unseen. I said no way.
Guess you havent seen a new silverado prices which are over $50k. Theyre selling the year model which is fairly recent and any car over 100k is 50% of lifetime but its not like its over 200k miles or something.
You know times are messed up when used car dealers are looked upon with more respect than new car dealers. I’d much rather buy a used car off a guy like this than a new car from these corrupt dealers …
Well you know it's a good use car dealer when hes got you convinced ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hes a car dealer I've. Been in the scheme 30 years dog and I have seen it all. Only thing I have not seen is what's happening in the market right now very unusual territory we're in.
I like the way you're introducing us to the vehicle, then showing the auctioning of that vehicle, then providing us with a bit more information about the vehicle. I think this is way nicer than having all the action action stuff at the end.
I really like this format where we get to see the price a little bit faster. Specially like the transitions between the bidding and looking at the vehicle exterior and interior, you should guess how much it will go for just for fun.
As a former recon manager that got cars ready for the auctions in central PA, (including Manheim), I am appalled at the condition that dealers show a car at this auction. Things must have really changed. The cars we reconned for auctions were in the best shape possible. Our cars were immaculate inside and out.
A really good detailer with a good old steam extractor and standard cleaning could have made those cars look far better. People are complaining about how they can't get help. A lot of young men do this as a hobby. Get some talent--pay them good and you have detailers for hire. Kids used to do that with the high-end (Audi, Porsche, Saab, Volvo, and Exotics) & these kids (back in the day) had beepers and a portfolio of their work in big binders. They charged high rates because the managers waited until the weekend to call or needed it done yesterday. It worked out for them and a few bought duplexes & then flipped them. Smart kids.
I agree with a thorough recon. I've attended the Manheim in Dallas a hundred times but this auction shown here is much much smaller and attended by those with buy here pay here lots ( tote the note). No franchise dealer buys anything that has a salvage title. These cars will be noted out and repo'd and noted out and repo'd again and again for a big profit. Any repairs needed will be added to the customer's note. They have their own in house mechanic/recon guy.
I love the bloopers and I also think it’s cool that you are patient and put your words together unlike a million other UA-camrs that string together 15 jump cuts to make a single sentence.
Really like the new format. The description interleaved with the auction for each item is much better than the old format. Please continue to show the purchase prices and probable selling prices for cars destined for your lot. I'm planning to buy a cash car like those.
If I owned a new car dealership - 1) advertise out the door prices and sell them for that. Have a menu board for extended warranty (cost plus $500) and other items customer can choose from. I would have another menu board showing service hourly rates AND what mechanics are paid per hour. Rates would be below market and pay would be above market. I’d sell more cars and attract better/loyal mechanics. I’d make great profit through volume AND be respected in the community. Honesty sells. Take care of the customer and they will take care of the profits.
I don’t know what the sellers are thinking. Might have been true last year, but this year people are not going to overpay for something in shit condition.
I will never understand how people let their inside of their cars turn into a garbage can. I have dusters and spray cleaners in my car. I’m constantly vacuuming and wiping down and spots or dust.
Dealerships have been ignoring the cars they send to auction for a couple years now. I worked for a place that would bring a guy in for paint, one for dents, one for rim reconditioning… made the cars really nice. Coincidentally, those cars sold in days and not weeks. Those were the days.
I would never buy a salvaged car after having accidentally bought one many years ago. It had been in a wreck and was totaled by the insurance company. It was then sent to a sale where someone bought it, 'repaired' it, and sold it, somehow, with a clean title. I tried it out and it was nice, and it drove straight and true - for the test drive. I bought it and went home, but before I made it home 30 miles away, the alignment went out, and it was riding rough. The frame had been bent in the accident, and it was never going to be a good car no matter how pretty it looked. I got lucky that the dealer helped me replace it with something else, but that came close to being a very expensive mistake at a time in my life I couldn't afford such mistakes. The other thing about 'salvage' titles, and even 'rebuilt', I believe, is that insurance companies don't want to insure them, and if they do, they jack their already nuts monthly premiums up even higher.

Glad you got some reasonable deals that you can pass along to your customers. Some of those cars just went for ridiculous prices and it boggles my mind that people are paying them.

I was at a dealership the other day giving someone a ride after they dropped their car off for some warranty work. Just for the heck of it, I asked a sales person what the cheapest used car was that they had on the lot. The CHEAPEST used car was $21,000. I just laughed as I walked out. Are they kidding?
Recently gotten several email offers where all they focus on is your payment. So far mostly Ford.

It's interesting watching dealer auctions. Because I'm a third party buyer that sells their inventory at dealer auctions. I've got 11 on the block tomorrow.
One dealer in St. Johns Michigan was charging nearly $5000 for a $1500 car per Kelley blue book. They were also trying to sell another car for $7000 that wasn’t even worth $3000. Let them rot on the lot. Hope these dealers go broke.
Omg, I’ve got a plain Jane 2005 suburban, clean as a whistle and in excellent mechanical shape with 107k miles. Kelly Blue book is laughable at $5800 but based on these prices I should be asking $147,000.
@@SeanPennII I’m not sure because the market is so nuts. Newer (2015ish) with same mileage but you’re gonna be at least $30k likely more. There’s a 2007 nearby for $12k but it’s got 160k miles which I think is asinine. I think it’s worth about $10k but market looks like it’s more. I’m not into gouging anyone but then I gotta turn around and get another set of wheels and I get juiced. I figure a dealer would buy it for $5k and try to sell it for $15k.
The only salvage vehicles I would ever buy are sports cars that I'm willing to do alot of mods to like a Vette to race or track it a pick up truck and/or work vans that I'm absolutely going to dawg the piss out of.
This format is much better where you go over the condition as the bidding progresses. I like having a better understanding of why the vehicle brought the bid it got in a timely manner.
Great video! Thanks for posting. I am finding more and more that I value my money more than I value any car, but that's me, and I thankfully have little need for a car at the moment. I am waiting as long as possible before buying.
Just the smarter folks that realize they don’t “need” a new car and can pay cash for something and still have leftover for repairs down the line. It’s really tough to justify borrowing money when the interest is more than a couple points.
I live in the Northeast. Salt is the problem up here. It might look great on the outside, but if the frame is soft from rust, it fails Inspection and you get stung.
Most of the cars shown were high mileage with other issues and still brought way more money than I’d ever spend. You keep saying prices will go down but so far I’m very skeptical based on what I see here.
I can see prices coming down around november-february, after student loan payments start. Folks won't be able to make payments, leading to repo's, leading to more inventory.
this is the result of $33trillion in debt, starting as many foreign wars as possible and in general pissing off most of the world. this is soros favorite game- crashing economies. inflation will continue to rise, along with interest rates. car makers are gearing for huge production drops as 2030 looms ahead, they are switching to fewer more expensive vehicles - a industry wide drawdown. the idea being that only rich people will have cars.

@@orbitalair2103 Most rich people won't spend that much either for cars even though they can afford it. That's how they got rich in the first place by being good at managing money.
man i love these cheap cars. this is the way to go. get used to some occasional $500 repairs yearly but it's so much cheaper to own and operate vs a new one. not for everyone, but that's a good thing for those of us who can afford a new car, but prefer NOT to go that route. I make 78K and i'm daily driving a 2000 diesel jetta. love it. no payments and costs like $150/mo in fuel
And that my friend is why you make 78 k a year. Not because of the expenses , but because of how you manage your expenses. Props to you, I’m young but I blow my money fast. I don’t make no where near 78k but I definitely blow a lot of my take home pay😂
It's really the way to go. Patience, buy a good one used. If it lasts you 5 or 6 years, you've saved nearly a new cars worth of money. New cars are kind of a joke. I really don't understand why people buy them.
I noticed one car had scratches on the leather seats in the butt area. Cut off any back facing zipper handles on your cargo type pants etc. Whoever thought putting zippers back there did not try to drive a car with leather seats for long. I never / rarely use these zippers any way and if they wreck my car's driver's seat, I don't want them. The smarter pant designers use velcro in these areas.
I worked at a car lot that buys auction cars as a mechanic for one summer. Most the cars had mechanical issues. But if you have your own mechanic it's all good..
I would kill to pay for what a car is worth, and slide a few hundred to the dealer for sourcing and cleaning it. It's just ridiculous to see some of them trying to flip a used car for over $1000 profit. like... If these were public auctions nobody would be paying these prices on the lots!

There's a local car lot here with good number of Vehicles for sale but they are dingy and not clean
Inside... That turns me off.
Since Covid, things have changed radically in the quality of vehicles. There's not enough inventory to make a difference!
Good to see those trucks not selling. They've been too high for years imo.
You are correct
I can’t believe how filthy some of the interiors are. Why a seller don’t clean them up first is beyond my simple thinking.
Repos.
It's an auction. Probably the majority are repos. So it is sold as is.
He has said before that even repos make more money when they are cleaned up.
@@last9up The margins are too tight on these to invest in cleaning.
Elbow grease is free….whoever owns these could get a few hundred extra for a simple wipe down.

One dealer in St. Johns Michigan was charging nearly $5000 for a $1500 car per Kelley blue book. They were also trying to sell another car for $7000 that wasn’t even worth $3000. Let them rot on the lot. Hope these dealers go broke.
That's not going to happen my friend. The car market is absolutely ridiculous right now.
Your the best host! No BS! To the point! Where's your location?
Omg, I’ve got a plain Jane 2005 suburban, clean as a whistle and in excellent mechanical shape with 107k miles. Kelly Blue book is laughable at $5800 but based on these prices I should be asking $147,000.
What would you say it's worth? I'm looking at them currently. Curious what an owner thinks
@@SeanPennII I’m not sure because the market is so nuts. Newer (2015ish) with same mileage but you’re gonna be at least $30k likely more. There’s a 2007 nearby for $12k but it’s got 160k miles which I think is asinine. I think it’s worth about $10k but market looks like it’s more. I’m not into gouging anyone but then I gotta turn around and get another set of wheels and I get juiced. I figure a dealer would buy it for $5k and try to sell it for $15k.
You have credibility which is really important. You have our trust which is is very important, Thanks
Awesome video! Love the auction vids.
Very interesting to see inside the auction and the prices paid and the no sells. Keep up the good work fella
I wouldn't pay any of those prices! Dang , cars are expensive now 😮
no one else would either. That is why he is making money selling the dirt cheap cars people can pay cash for.
Facts
Thanks again for being up front
Bro there's no way I'm paying 10k+ for a salvage title car. Am i crazy? Lol
I think Nissan Altimas come with a salvage title from the factory.
@@papagiorgio3314Good one 🤣🤣🤣
The only salvage vehicles I would ever buy are sports cars that I'm willing to do alot of mods to like a Vette to race or track it a pick up truck and/or work vans that I'm absolutely going to dawg the piss out of.
I like this quick cut approach to the video. Much more enjoyable to watch. Great job
Brandon I wish those greedy cardealerships follow you honest view how to handle a business. They destroying their own livelihood.
Great format. Each car with the auction.
8:30 that 4 Runner has seen more action than the 5th Infantry!
Love this video. I've been thinking about buying a car and this information was very valuable. Thank you so much!
Great vdieo Brandon, guaranteed that Camaro will need a motor soon holly 230k lol - Mark
Love the new editing with the vehicle walk around and the lane action side-by-side!!!
Cant believe some of these dealers paying those ridiculous prices for some beat up trucks.. no wonder they are going bankrupt. Sheesh.. Thx Brandon
Go to the gas station with that mentality you buy gas for double same thing
Your logic makes no sense
I like they way you edited this video! So much easier to follow. Thank you!
This format is much better where you go over the condition as the bidding progresses. I like having a better understanding of why the vehicle brought the bid it got in a timely manner.
March od 2023; I sold one if my 4runners. A 2004 limited (v8) 197k miles, fully loaded with backup camera and air ride system. 8k..
Great video! Thanks for posting. I am finding more and more that I value my money more than I value any car, but that's me, and I thankfully have little need for a car at the moment. I am waiting as long as possible before buying.
Digging this new format! Watched all the way to the end 🤙🏻
Thank you! Tough to edit but I liked it better too!
HEY! Hello Brandon! Thumbs UP!!
Thanks Richard!!!!!
I bet the jeep and the caddy. As dirty and low miles, I bet the oil changes wasn't kept up with.
you're on the right path lots of people wanting cheaper cars
Just the smarter folks that realize they don’t “need” a new car and can pay cash for something and still have leftover for repairs down the line. It’s really tough to justify borrowing money when the interest is more than a couple points.
I live in the Northeast. Salt is the problem up here. It might look great on the outside, but if the frame is soft from rust, it fails Inspection and you get stung.
Most of the cars shown were high mileage with other issues and still brought way more money than I’d ever spend. You keep saying prices will go down but so far I’m very skeptical based on what I see here.
I can see prices coming down around november-february, after student loan payments start. Folks won't be able to make payments, leading to repo's, leading to more inventory.
this is the result of $33trillion in debt, starting as many foreign wars as possible and in general pissing off most of the world. this is soros favorite game- crashing economies. inflation will continue to rise, along with interest rates. car makers are gearing for huge production drops as 2030 looms ahead, they are switching to fewer more expensive vehicles - a industry wide drawdown. the idea being that only rich people will have cars.
@@orbitalair2103..... I've said the same thing unfortunately lot of people don't believe me.... 🙄
a lot of people don't want to face reality... let alone face the reality of what their agenda is🙉
@@orbitalair2103 Most rich people won't spend that much either for cars even though they can afford it. That's how they got rich in the first place by being good at managing money.
"words are hard" cracked me up!
man i love these cheap cars. this is the way to go. get used to some occasional $500 repairs yearly but it's so much cheaper to own and operate vs a new one. not for everyone, but that's a good thing for those of us who can afford a new car, but prefer NOT to go that route. I make 78K and i'm daily driving a 2000 diesel jetta. love it. no payments and costs like $150/mo in fuel
And that my friend is why you make 78 k a year. Not because of the expenses , but because of how you manage your expenses. Props to you, I’m young but I blow my money fast. I don’t make no where near 78k but I definitely blow a lot of my take home pay😂
It's really the way to go. Patience, buy a good one used. If it lasts you 5 or 6 years, you've saved nearly a new cars worth of money. New cars are kind of a joke. I really don't understand why people buy them.
I noticed one car had scratches on the leather seats in the butt area. Cut off any back facing zipper handles on your cargo type pants etc. Whoever thought putting zippers back there did not try to drive a car with leather seats for long. I never / rarely use these zippers any way and if they wreck my car's driver's seat, I don't want them. The smarter pant designers use velcro in these areas.
I've given up on buying a second car. I'll never be able to afford anything that doesn't have one axle in the junkyard.
I like they new way you are going the vehicles where you show them one at a time with cuts to the auction results.
There’s no way I would purchase a vehicle with a salvage title.
aka an ebay title
Not really a big deal. If you just plan on driving it, it hurts the value but I’ve had lots of salvage title cars that were great drivers.
Why can't we the public buy these cars ? It's greed and a shame that used cars cost so much .
Used car dearers own their reputations . Crooks !
This new format is great, I love it. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoy it!
Like this style for these videos.
Thanks... I like it too, tough to edit but it's better I think
I worked at a car lot that buys auction cars as a mechanic for one summer. Most the cars had mechanical issues. But if you have your own mechanic it's all good..
Loving the new format
I would kill to pay for what a car is worth, and slide a few hundred to the dealer for sourcing and cleaning it. It's just ridiculous to see some of them trying to flip a used car for over $1000 profit. like... If these were public auctions nobody would be paying these prices on the lots!
Lmfao
Loved this. Prices coming down.looks like.
Would be super cool to follow one of your cars from action to sale prep to final sale. Love the content!
15k for a dirty truck, gosh really. like selling a house that is a shit hole
I'm loving the editing on this video! It's definitely more work for you or your editor, but the way it tells the story works exceptionally well ❤
Haha thanks... It was hard... I am my editor
These are the videos that keep me coming back.
Glad you enjoyed it!
