One of the best OBD settings I like to check, when scoping out a new (to me) used vehicle is "# of miles since check engine light reset" or something similar, depending on the scanner and vehicle. If it's 30k miles, good to go. If it's something like 3 miles...buyer beware!
This!!!! I'm a part time mobile mechanic and have went with a few people to look at cars and that's the very first thing I look at. Just looked at a car a few days ago check engine light was reset 26 miles ago and battery was old. Knew something was up
Disconnecting the battery for a LONG overnight or a few days will likely "erase" codes. But they would come back likely before 50 miles. If the battery is old they may just have disconnected it so the car would start that day!! It could be rather innocent.

Daily is a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8 👍Made them from 2008-2012 to compete with the V8 4Runner at the time. The Pathfinder has that normally aspirated 5.6 stuffed into the hood 😁 With 165k on the clock it's been extremely reliably. No turbos, no GDI, no expensive tech, no nonsense 👌
Just bought a used 2014 Mazda 3 touring pkg. w/70k milage, 4 new tires, front and back breaks replacement , new belts, new battery, oil and filter change, and a life time warranty on motor and trans for 9k, from a dealership.
Lifetime on trans and motor? Sounds like a good deal to me, there’s gotta be some fine print in that warranty, you have to know a little about the mechanics to understand what you’re getting
@@Jordan__SloanI just bought a 2021 Mazda CX-5 with a LIFETIME powertrain warranty as well. This was from a Mazda dealership. I've read all the fine print and it is indeed legit. No special rules like needing to bring it to them for service, etc. You can even perform your own maintenance as long as you keep receipts. This was one of the reasons I purchased from them. They also did about $5k worth of maintenance and reconditioning including new tires, brakes/rotors, battery, alignment, 2 tiny hood dents removed, you name it. I have it all in writing.
I have been truck shopping for 5 years and have yet to find a dealer that actually wants to sell anything unless they can find a mullet without any common sense.
Maybe if the consumer could buy these high mileage cars at these auction prices instead of having to buy from a dealer who wants a $2k or more profit, the car market wouldn't be where it is today!... Just saying!🤔
Umm you still can.... many of them are open to the public. The downside is you get what you get compared to a dealer who has to ensure it's safe to leave the lot
You can, but for the average person who takes cars to a mechanic and doesn't know how to check them, it probably isn't a good idea. After required repairs for state inspection, my first auction car was $500 under KBB value, for a car with mismatched paint, no AC, and no remote key.
Returning to normal? That Jeep GC with a head gasket replacement and dirty interior for 7K? WTF is wrong with people. Besides, the fed raised interest rates to stop folks from buying stuff on credit but NO…. AND NO SALE???
Im still not buying. I cant see buying more problems and that is exactly what high mileage cars and trucks will bring. The cost of repairs is out of sight. Be careful what you buy. Which is better Carly or Fixd?
I work at a local domestic dealership and we are freaking out... someone heard upper management talking about closing down shop because nobody is buying cars anymore.

I love my 1999 Mitsubishi, daily driver, because it DOESN'T have power windows, power locks, power seats. Not even an automatic. Bare basic manual. 234K miles and heading toward 500K, God willing. She still purrs because she was made in Japan during the '90s.

. i went in the dealershoip to look at a 2023 m3 comp with 1500 miles, why the hell does it cost more than a BRAND NEW ONE DELIVERED TO MY DOOR? these dealerships need to start shutting down to understand they are gonna make any money
Same here ,I have a toyota suv with 80 k miles on it never abused well maintained still drives great ,putting 5 k or so in mechanical an painting and taking care of is way cheaper than the crippling amount of debt for a new one that is grossly overpriced
I like your videos and find it very refreshing that you are helping people who are looking for cheap transportation. I live in Canada and I have been looking to purchase a cheap vehicle for work, don't care what it looks like, as long as it is clean. Very hard to find one here in BC. If you do find one the people want a way too much for them. For the most part people selling cars seem greedy and think their cars are worth more than they really are, that is why I find your videos so refreshing Thank You
I keep seeing on your videos where cars are going down in price. Can you please tell me. WHERE exactly is this happening? Cause it is not happening in Texas. At dealerships or private.
Exactly. It's only going to get worse. In 10 years it will be huge pickup trucks with quad turbo 1.0 liter engines just to meet EPA standards. Gas sedans won't even exist anymore.
@3:48 "sales are so low because the banks are tight" may be a contributor factor but I think people are realizing cars are just way too expensive. Even with 0% interest. Taxes, health care, food is all up. Less money to spend on a car. I think (and hope) the average consumer is realizing that cars are too high and that money can be spent elsewhere. Prices need to go down, not just interest rates.
They just caught it in the backside because of their own greed. None of these vehicles are worth a fraction of what they were/are charging. Someone has to pay for that big,fat UAW contract. No depreciating asset should ever exceed a mortgage payment.
do people every sabotage cars to make sure other people do not bid on them. Like unplug connectors, "create" fluid leaks, disconnect batteries to make all the codes come on? Also tricks like drawing insurance flood lines much higher than the water actually got to, etc. I am sure a lot of these tricks are pretty easy to spot but I always wondered.
Yes ,And it happens at every single auto auction 'I've been too. last week some jerk cut the wire off the Turbo to the sensor. I tested before with my Diagnostic tool before the jerk sabotaged the vehicle. Then another person came by the next day before auction and cut some vacuum tube off. Not only do you get banned but you can go to Jail, its a 4th degree felony. I never seen anybody do the Flood Line stuff you talk about. I see Cut wires, Sensors, etc, anything that will throw a code that don't disable the vehicle completely, because if the vehicle can't start and get in the selling lane it wont be sold that day. If by chance some unknown person disabled the vehicle or removed the key ( stole it- and does happen sometimes. ) the auctioneer will have to put their own cash for the repair so they can sell it for the consigner. when repaired the auctioneer will add a (Key Fee ) or Repair Fee to the final sold bid price. I can't believe people still try this stuff, there just not that intelligent, and I've seen it all. The best thing you can do is get to the action preview the minute the doors are open. Test everything your going to bid on. Rule # 1 Don't bid on anything you cannot test first.
The most important miles in an engines life is the first 20,000 and whether the oil was changed regularly. This is impossible to know without disassembling the engine and making careful measurements, OR seeing the dated receipts which have the mileage on them.
I went to my local Toyota dealership the other day for an oil change and overheard a salesman talking to a big boss explaining the days on the lot the new cars were sitting for, they didn’t sound too happy about it.
Mid 90's to early 00's Subaru's have bad head gaskets. From 08ish to present day Subbies have oil consumption problems. Not sure why folks think they're good cars. Survivor bias?
I had six Subarus, all manual tranny AWD. All were 1990-1999 with 2.2 liter except the last one, a 2007 with 2.5 liter. The 2.2s were great and would only leak oil. I'm done with Subaru because I've read and heard too many stories of bad CVTs and oil consumption issues. They are NOT as good as they were in the 1990s.
they're charging $70-80K for trucks people can't afford that now, wages have stagnated, we're teetering on the edge of recession. The prices they're asking now are a fantasy.
I bought a 4Runner as a mom car the other day and the dealer came off over 5k when I walked about the door and gave me some decent incentives. They would have done anything to get the car to move.
It's not true they can't sell the cars on their lots but because of something I don't understand they will take that same car to action and pay someone to buy it at a lower price. I don't understand why they do that. If they lower the price at their lot they could sell if there and be a win win for all.
The dealers are in this together. They don't want to start dropping prices because every dealer will have to. I make a decent income. I haven't owned a vehicle in over 3 years because of the inflation after my transmission went out on my Nissan. But it's getting to the point where in Texas I'm being discriminated against for not owning a vehicle. 😂. I was accused of trespassing by a Karen at a storage unit because I didn't owe a vehicle. I was placing my bicycle in the storage unit. The property manager had to tell Karen to leave me alone. I was interested in a city employee. She asked me if I knew how to drive since most people on the bus don't know how. WTF!! I even sent her a copy of my driver license 🪪. So socially this vehicle inflation is screwing me socially.
I had a friend that was a mechanic at a small car rental business in Colorado near an Army Training Facility. They bought CHEAP cars, made sure they were safe and judged fairly reliable. Scratches, stains, minor dents and scrapes, they didn't bother with fixing. The place was called 'Rent-A-Wreck'. They were less than half the price of Hertz and the other big dealers. Which ment 3-4 privates could afford to spend some time ripping around the countryside in a vehicle nobody worried about. They went out of business, but judging by how busy they seemed, it wasn't for lack of customers.
Why sell that crv at auction? Drop the price, a retail sale is guaranteed on a car like that. Gotta be more than auction. Is it that customers can't finance it now, too much mileage?
VWs are not bad cars....But if I were a dealer I would not buy them to sell. They cost too much to fix with mostly dealer parts. and dont give you your money back.
Laughing at the fact that in 2020 a ford dealer tried to make me pay $37k on an XL ranger that was supposed to be $29k MSRP because the “chip shortage” was going to be an 8 year issue! I then tried to buy a 2022 ranger at a different dealer 2 years later towards the beginning of 2023 and I was told that the mark ups would be a forever thing because of the “chip shortage” and market demand, and they mentioned that people from out of state had driven all the way to their ford dealership to buy a raptor and tried to make me reason with that purchase to hopefully give in but I didn’t because why would I pay $5k markup on a basic truck without upgrades. Now in 2024 what dealerships began doing is adding “nitrogen” to the tires for $300-500, adding every Goofy accessory available like spare tire for under the truck, an overpriced bed tonneau cover, overpriced fender flares, over priced decal stickers that look cringeworthy. Yea dealerships like that did it to themselves.
Prices are down 8.7% year over year. We are about $6k on avg higher than 2019 levels. However, make no mistake, prices are falling and continue to fall. It could take another year to reach 2019 used car price levels. It could happen sooner depending on how quickly our economy continues to degrade. I wanted to add repos have gone up by 23% compared to the same time period last year, according to Automotive News.
The problem is there is allot of junk at these auto auctions now. The prices you are tracking are for more or less low quality cars. there is few that might be ok, but most of the lane auction sales are low quality. The last 2 years are nothing but low quality high mileage cars that need paint jobs or other major work. The pre sales at Manheim are where your better cars end up . lease returns , rental returns etc, new dealership trade-ins . The price is preset at sales like that, they are not auctioned off. Manheim never put that sales info out that i know of , only the lane sales. Your missing a big gap in pricing but your on the right track.
In the buying process now.. not only are prices high lenders are pulling in the purse strings. The sales manager told me they have been turning brown many more applications they would normally would be excepted or the bank is asking for much more money down.
I heard Marshall Lucky say at New Deal Used Cars that they "blow the shit out of high prices". I guess that just like the judge, I'll have to go see for myself.
Why isn't it required to have an expectation by a certified independent mechanic with specific items tested and approved or commented on their condition, same as an inspection when purchasing a property.
Bro, what is REALLY happening is manufactures have required more inventory purchases from their dealerships. They attached temporary incentives and free flooring for a couple months. Dealerships are currently overstocked. Those rebates, incentives, and most importantly free flooring has ran out. Dealerships are not pricing their inventory at a loss. They can’t. Flooring banks are now withdrawing from overstocked dealerships and will not accept any new inventory for them. Those dealerships whose credit is no longer fluid are either closing or finding another dealership to purchase their inventory and closing. The interest on overpriced vehicles on the lots are crushing the industry. We will not see car prices plummet until the bank owned inventories are auctioned off. We are two years away from seeing that or longer. We will see thousands of 2-3 year old “new old stock cars” sitting on lots with no factory warranty’s for sale at pre-covid prices. Bet on it. Dealerships are closing at rapid rates.
If the US high speed infrastructure and public transportation would evolve, these prices would dip because fewer vehicles would be needed. Also, consumers are to blames as well. Why does every adult in the family need their own vehicle?

Daily is a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8 👍Made them from 2008-2012 to compete with the V8 4Runner at the time. The Pathfinder has that normally aspirated 5.6 stuffed into the hood 😁 With 165k on the clock it's been extremely reliably. No turbos, no GDI, no expensive tech, no nonsense 👌
Yep those pathfinders will run till the shock towers rust through
Just bought a used 2014 Mazda 3 touring pkg. w/70k milage, 4 new tires, front and back breaks replacement , new belts, new battery, oil and filter change, and a life time warranty on motor and trans for 9k, from a dealership.
Little steep
Lifetime on trans and motor? Sounds like a good deal to me, there’s gotta be some fine print in that warranty, you have to know a little about the mechanics to understand what you’re getting
@@Jordan__SloanI just bought a 2021 Mazda CX-5 with a LIFETIME powertrain warranty as well. This was from a Mazda dealership. I've read all the fine print and it is indeed legit. No special rules like needing to bring it to them for service, etc. You can even perform your own maintenance as long as you keep receipts. This was one of the reasons I purchased from them. They also did about $5k worth of maintenance and reconditioning including new tires, brakes/rotors, battery, alignment, 2 tiny hood dents removed, you name it. I have it all in writing.
I have been truck shopping for 5 years and have yet to find a dealer that actually wants to sell anything unless they can find a mullet without any common sense.
Maybe if the consumer could buy these high mileage cars at these auction prices instead of having to buy from a dealer who wants a $2k or more profit, the car market wouldn't be where it is today!... Just saying!🤔
These auctions existed long before car prices went crazy.
Umm you still can.... many of them are open to the public. The downside is you get what you get compared to a dealer who has to ensure it's safe to leave the lot
You can, but for the average person who takes cars to a mechanic and doesn't know how to check them, it probably isn't a good idea. After required repairs for state inspection, my first auction car was $500 under KBB value, for a car with mismatched paint, no AC, and no remote key.
They are scared to death prices are returning to normal 😂
Returning to normal? That Jeep GC with a head gasket replacement and dirty interior for 7K? WTF is wrong with people. Besides, the fed raised interest rates to stop folks from buying stuff on credit but NO…. AND NO SALE???
Im still not buying. I cant see buying more problems and that is exactly what high mileage cars and trucks will bring. The cost of repairs is out of sight. Be careful what you buy. Which is better Carly or Fixd?
I work at a local domestic dealership and we are freaking out... someone heard upper management talking about closing down shop because nobody is buying cars anymore. Not even a single senior citizen that we can trick into getting extended warranties :(
I may lose my house and car, won't be able to afford my $1,200 car payment :(
Congratulations on being "The Debt Fool".

I walk into mu local toyota dealer and ask them to show me the cars they sell that I can get into.They haven't done it in 15 years.6 ft 2 in. 220 lbs.
You sound like me. 6'3" 240 lbs. And wear a 18 in. Collar shirt with 38 in. Sleeve length. The only smaller car I can get into is a Subaru Forester. Check those out.@kkarllwt
All the old men who bought a car to impress people they died off the new old generation are mostly women or people who do not care about impressing people
That Suburban seller was a psycho. It's only worth $17K retail.
yeah seriously. The dealers don't seem very desperate to me....
I love my 1999 Mitsubishi, daily driver, because it DOESN'T have power windows, power locks, power seats. Not even an automatic. Bare basic manual. 234K miles and heading toward 500K, God willing. She still purrs because she was made in Japan during the '90s.
I wish they still sold those kinds of basic trim packages. Not having to think about repairs is my kind of luxury

Brandon doesn’t disclose his dealership on this channel. He wants this to be information on the market and not used to drive business to his dealership. There are plenty of people who do what Brandon does, you just have to do your research. I will tell you that he is based in the great state of North Carolina!
@kobartlett no where that I live actually sell cheap car's at all so I'm trying to get 1 or 2 car's from him. I live in Reading, PA

. i went in the dealershoip to look at a 2023 m3 comp with 1500 miles, why the hell does it cost more than a BRAND NEW ONE DELIVERED TO MY DOOR? these dealerships need to start shutting down to understand they are gonna make any money
Old subarus being sold are usually because it will need a major repair involving the timing chain., an expensive repair.
Or the CVT is about to go.
Or the garbage cvt
I have a 2008 F150 that is well maintained, I'm going to put about 5 grand into a little body work and a new paint job, it will look and run like new.
Same here ,I have a toyota suv with 80 k miles on it never abused well maintained still drives great ,putting 5 k or so in mechanical an painting and taking care of is way cheaper than the crippling amount of debt for a new one that is grossly overpriced
I like your videos and find it very refreshing that you are helping people who are looking for cheap transportation. I live in Canada and I have been looking to purchase a cheap vehicle for work, don't care what it looks like, as long as it is clean. Very hard to find one here in BC. If you do find one the people want a way too much for them. For the most part people selling cars seem greedy and think their cars are worth more than they really are, that is why I find your videos so refreshing Thank You
Tonneau cover. That Solara was definitely worth $2500 with that mileage and even with that crap dash.
Driving by auto row on the freeway I see the lots are totally full !!!
$50k for a truck, that’s crazy.
There he is 🎉😂
$50k? Is someone having a sale? That’s cheap.
I ran into a gut last week boasting that he picked up a loaded F-150...top of the line...$100K! WTF?

Why does the auction guy always try to be the fastest rapper?
He went to school to learn to do that.
I know a auctioneer way faster than this guy, sometimes it can be hard to keep up .
He's got a lot of cars to sell.
I keep seeing on your videos where cars are going down in price. Can you please tell me.
WHERE exactly is this happening? Cause it is not happening in Texas. At dealerships or private.
DFW area auctions prices are still high.
They aren't, especially nice cars.
Nope. Not even the used car private market
Prices are creeping back up where I live. Glad I bought something late spring/ early summer
It is happening out west, nevada/California
Jeep has snorkel and has probably never seen water past the hubs.
I would turn down the EPA mandated turbos on toyotas and others. We need regime change to save the car and truck market.
Exactly. It's only going to get worse. In 10 years it will be huge pickup trucks with quad turbo 1.0 liter engines just to meet EPA standards. Gas sedans won't even exist anymore.
@3:48 "sales are so low because the banks are tight" may be a contributor factor but I think people are realizing cars are just way too expensive. Even with 0% interest. Taxes, health care, food is all up. Less money to spend on a car. I think (and hope) the average consumer is realizing that cars are too high and that money can be spent elsewhere. Prices need to go down, not just interest rates.
Hey CQA! You were joking about the 200k mile Sebring and never seeing another but I actually have one!
They just caught it in the backside because of their own greed. None of these vehicles are worth a fraction of what they were/are charging. Someone has to pay for that big,fat UAW contract. No depreciating asset should ever exceed a mortgage payment.
do people every sabotage cars to make sure other people do not bid on them. Like unplug connectors, "create" fluid leaks, disconnect batteries to make all the codes come on? Also tricks like drawing insurance flood lines much higher than the water actually got to, etc. I am sure a lot of these tricks are pretty easy to spot but I always wondered.
I guess they do but if caught they get banned from the auction. That wouldn’t stop a crook from having a shill do the actual sabotage though.
Yes, it happens.
Disconnecting the batteries actually clears codes
Yes ,And it happens at every single auto auction 'I've been too. last week some jerk cut the wire off the Turbo to the sensor. I tested before with my Diagnostic tool before the jerk sabotaged the vehicle. Then another person came by the next day before auction and cut some vacuum tube off. Not only do you get banned but you can go to Jail, its a 4th degree felony. I never seen anybody do the Flood Line stuff you talk about. I see Cut wires, Sensors, etc, anything that will throw a code that don't disable the vehicle completely, because if the vehicle can't start and get in the selling lane it wont be sold that day. If by chance some unknown person disabled the vehicle or removed the key ( stole it- and does happen sometimes. ) the auctioneer will have to put their own cash for the repair so they can sell it for the consigner. when repaired the auctioneer will add a (Key Fee ) or Repair Fee to the final sold bid price. I can't believe people still try this stuff, there just not that intelligent, and I've seen it all. The best thing you can do is get to the action preview the minute the doors are open. Test everything your going to bid on. Rule # 1 Don't bid on anything you cannot test first.
The most important miles in an engines life is the first 20,000 and whether the oil was changed regularly. This is impossible to know without disassembling the engine and making careful measurements, OR seeing the dated receipts which have the mileage on them.
All maintenance records, call the techs.
Leak down test?
Some replaced the timing chain in the Sebring onc, and didn't want to do it again.
yea the 2.7l POS Chrysler product. I would never buy one.
Wow...that "juggernat" vehicle the person spent on it was definately a lot more than a car payment.
I went to my local Toyota dealership the other day for an oil change and overheard a salesman talking to a big boss explaining the days on the lot the new cars were sitting for, they didn’t sound too happy about it.
Mid 90's to early 00's Subaru's have bad head gaskets. From 08ish to present day Subbies have oil consumption problems. Not sure why folks think they're good cars. Survivor bias?
My friends 2018 Subaru started leaking oil from the crank case around 85,000 mi. Yikes.
I had six Subarus, all manual tranny AWD. All were 1990-1999 with 2.2 liter except the last one, a 2007 with 2.5 liter. The 2.2s were great and would only leak oil. I'm done with Subaru because I've read and heard too many stories of bad CVTs and oil consumption issues. They are NOT as good as they were in the 1990s.
they're charging $70-80K for trucks people can't afford that now, wages have stagnated, we're teetering on the edge of recession. The prices they're asking now are a fantasy.
I bought a 4Runner as a mom car the other day and the dealer came off over 5k when I walked about the door and gave me some decent incentives. They would have done anything to get the car to move.
All those no sales are going to come back at even lower prices.
It's not true they can't sell the cars on their lots but because of something I don't understand they will take that same car to action and pay someone to buy it at a lower price. I don't understand why they do that. If they lower the price at their lot they could sell if there and be a win win for all.
I’ve heard that dealers would rather dump cars at the auction than risk having to fix something for a retail customer.
The dealers are in this together. They don't want to start dropping prices because every dealer will have to. I make a decent income. I haven't owned a vehicle in over 3 years because of the inflation after my transmission went out on my Nissan. But it's getting to the point where in Texas I'm being discriminated against for not owning a vehicle. 😂. I was accused of trespassing by a Karen at a storage unit because I didn't owe a vehicle. I was placing my bicycle in the storage unit. The property manager had to tell Karen to leave me alone. I was interested in a city employee. She asked me if I knew how to drive since most people on the bus don't know how. WTF!! I even sent her a copy of my driver license 🪪. So socially this vehicle inflation is screwing me socially.
Affordable is the better word, to us buyers cheap is trash.
Tomatoe, tomato
Affordable now a days is 25k. Cheap is 6-7k
I had a friend that was a mechanic at a small car rental business in Colorado near an Army Training Facility. They bought CHEAP cars, made sure they were safe and judged fairly reliable. Scratches, stains, minor dents and scrapes, they didn't bother with fixing. The place was called 'Rent-A-Wreck'.
They were less than half the price of Hertz and the other big dealers. Which ment 3-4 privates could afford to spend some time ripping around the countryside in a vehicle nobody worried about.
They went out of business, but judging by how busy they seemed, it wasn't for lack of customers.
If that Honda dealer (yeah, I know who owns that one) would stop with the stupid dealer add-ons they just may be able to sell their vehicles.
Why sell that crv at auction? Drop the price, a retail sale is guaranteed on a car like that. Gotta be more than auction. Is it that customers can't finance it now, too much mileage?
It is impossible to sell a new 100,000 vehicle in a 25,000 market.
$17,300 for a 2014 Geek Jeep Wrangler? That p.o.s. wasn't worth $1700 when it was brand new!
I have to admit that was high. My sister bought a 2018 slightly used with 12K miles for 17K in 2019

VWs are not bad cars....But if I were a dealer I would not buy them to sell. They cost too much to fix with mostly dealer parts. and dont give you your money back.
I would own an 80s Kombi.
Depends on the vehicle and the demand. Not all vehicles are baked the same. Good to see values sustaining.
Laughing at the fact that in 2020 a ford dealer tried to make me pay $37k on an XL ranger that was supposed to be $29k MSRP because the “chip shortage” was going to be an 8 year issue! I then tried to buy a 2022 ranger at a different dealer 2 years later towards the beginning of 2023 and I was told that the mark ups would be a forever thing because of the “chip shortage” and market demand, and they mentioned that people from out of state had driven all the way to their ford dealership to buy a raptor and tried to make me reason with that purchase to hopefully give in but I didn’t because why would I pay $5k markup on a basic truck without upgrades. Now in 2024 what dealerships began doing is adding “nitrogen” to the tires for $300-500, adding every Goofy accessory available like spare tire for under the truck, an overpriced bed tonneau cover, overpriced fender flares, over priced decal stickers that look cringeworthy. Yea dealerships like that did it to themselves.
They are adding spare tire covers for under your truck is what I meant, trucks already normally come with a spare.
Why did you pass on the Solara?
Prices are down 8.7% year over year. We are about $6k on avg higher than 2019 levels. However, make no mistake, prices are falling and continue to fall. It could take another year to reach 2019 used car price levels. It could happen sooner depending on how quickly our economy continues to degrade. I wanted to add repos have gone up by 23% compared to the same time period last year, according to Automotive News.
The problem is there is allot of junk at these auto auctions now. The prices you are tracking are for more or less low quality cars. there is few that might be ok, but most of the lane auction sales are low quality. The last 2 years are nothing but low quality high mileage cars that need paint jobs or other major work. The pre sales at Manheim are where your better cars end up . lease returns , rental returns etc, new dealership trade-ins . The price is preset at sales like that, they are not auctioned off. Manheim never put that sales info out that i know of , only the lane sales. Your missing a big gap in pricing but your on the right track.
I would take that 1995 F-150, but would prefer something older...1985. Not perfect, just no rust.
Bro, your videos are gold.
I'd buy that Pathfinder in a heartbeat, those SUV's are rock-solid.
Used cars in Arizona are way to high. They are selling junkyard cars for transportation cars and they are not transportation. They are junkyard crap
I've been seeing really good deals pop up lately. They just sell quick.
Right after the line about Toyotas and Hondas going 400k miles, a Jeep appears blowing white smoke. I'm shocked it made it to 150k.
In the buying process now.. not only are prices high lenders are pulling in the purse strings. The sales manager told me they have been turning brown many more applications they would normally would be excepted or the bank is asking for much more money down.
Can't dealers just delete the codes? Some codes only comeback after being driven for awhile

I wanted that Solara, I miss my convertible!
I almost bought a GL back in the 80s, but I found out it needed a new clutch and the mechanic wanted $1200 to fix it.
Bro, what is REALLY happening is manufactures have required more inventory purchases from their dealerships. They attached temporary incentives and free flooring for a couple months. Dealerships are currently overstocked. Those rebates, incentives, and most importantly free flooring has ran out. Dealerships are not pricing their inventory at a loss. They can’t. Flooring banks are now withdrawing from overstocked dealerships and will not accept any new inventory for them. Those dealerships whose credit is no longer fluid are either closing or finding another dealership to purchase their inventory and closing. The interest on overpriced vehicles on the lots are crushing the industry.
We will not see car prices plummet until the bank owned inventories are auctioned off. We are two years away from seeing that or longer. We will see thousands of 2-3 year old “new old stock cars” sitting on lots with no factory warranty’s for sale at pre-covid prices. Bet on it.
Dealerships are closing at rapid rates.
Man that 95 ford was clean. I probably would have won that bid if I was there.
If the US high speed infrastructure and public transportation would evolve, these prices would dip because fewer vehicles would be needed. Also, consumers are to blames as well. Why does every adult in the family need their own vehicle?
