You won’t ever really find out. This is show business mixed with deep (In the Trenches) Used Car Salesmanship!! He controls the narrative on his channel anyway… Most likely dude never got a call from the auction but you have to keep people entertained and I get that.
Craig, big difference between the pontiac and the others. This is a Holden Monaro, built in Australia. Independant rear suspension etc. They are pretty good, well built cars. I do agree about the Hummer, someone has screwed with it probably not knowing how to drive them. I am interested to see what they claim is wrong with it.
I liked how you tipped auctioneer. I do a ton of auctions and always top the fork lift driver. Always. usually 10-20 bucks depending on how much I get. The guys have always shows my loads respect, get to me first and have even helped me secure the loads. It's amazing how much someone can turn from just a "employee" where you do business to something close to a friend. Just for showing them a little respect and kindness. It works on me also. When a customer does not give me absurd offers, nit pick etc, I always cut them a break. Also something else i have learned. EVERYONE, every single individual selling a car on marketplace, is a lier. So as a buyer it takes me so much longer doing a deal because i have to make THEM wait while I do my due diligence because I know they are lieing about some details.
When you play with the transfer case on an h1 sometimes it decides to act up, you have to firmly place it in where you want it. I’m guessing during all the auction play, a c clip fell off the linkage and now it is only kinda in gear, you combine that with the guy probably saw the cars and bids thing by now…watch your checkbook.
Props to you for making an effort to take care of the guy when the Hummer was having issues, we need more of that in the car business. I’d be really curious to find out what the issue is!
Honestly I think the guy knows he paid to much and wants out of the deal. People at auctions are shady don't assume because you're willing to do right everyone else will.
You deserve every success Craig. Offering to help with the Hummer is a very kind gesture considering that there's 'no backsies' at the auction and that's made very clear. Hopefully it's not too much of a headache, but looking forward to hearing how it resolves and excited about the C8. Great video.
He has all the video proof that it drove fine and has no issues. The buyer definitely broke it or swapped parts off it with his own broken parts. The buyer is trying to pull a scam. He should just send the buyer the link to the video.
@@common_c3nts He definitely has the video proof that the car ran and drove. But if it never made it out of the Auction yard then it's probably not a scam - just unfortunate circumstances. I still wouldn't be surprised if the guy missed a setting/gearing or otherwise though .
Cars and Bids definitely where you go to buy, not sell. You can routinely see cars that would easily do more at Manheim. Bring a Trailer is solid if you are willing to wait.
Those VW Buses are 21 window or 23. I would love some details on what they actually sold for. Either 21 or 23 with the sunroof has always been a dream car for me.
That is one thing I hate about people having access to vehicles. They push buttons and play with knobs then it takes forever to figure out what is wrong.
That's crazy the hummer failed as it was being sold.. Your a solid guy for even addressing the repairs.. As you said, no one has done it for you on all the duds you purchased from the auction... Instead of using that as an excuse to do the same to someone else, you stepped up and were willing to help them. RESPECT 🙏.
Love what you do and enjoy your videos, not one to comment often but I watch consistently. Speaks so well of you to care about others, although nobody likes to take the hit financially you sir are a great person. Hope it comes back to you down the road, keep it up brother
Great video. Looking forward to the update on the hummer. That is very unfortunate for the buyer and for you but i commend you on trying to do the right thing.
Love your content and watching all the car stories, very interesting. Can you update us on the Hummer?? I own 5 GM vehicles and there is always something going on.
Yeah, if he literally drove it twice, once with wife and once with son…it probably wasn’t enough to discover the “real reason” the last owner of the vehicle “got rid of it”. Flying Wheels did not mention *any issue(s)* that were discovered with this Hummer. If you’re buying auction vehicles, would it be reasonable to *expect* there to be some obvious and/or hidden reasons the vehicle turned-up at the auction in the first place?
It's good to have a plan B when the online auction is not beneficial. Good to learn that. I believe the disclosure of bids is not useful when it is below the asking price and useful when it is above. I would say the stressful part of selling at dealer auction is the deadline. Because it puts pressure on the seller. (The buyer can always retract without fees)
I feel the same way, I shipped one of my friends from another state a free gaming PC, and it broke on delivery, so I bought her a brand new one, I don't like being let down by myself. 😄I'll fix the old free PC and give it to a friend... Letdowns suck but so nice of you to offer help. Just hit home. 🤗
Craig. Ever thought of MECUM auctions? I been to them. Indy was great. Gone to many in the past. A few Hummers were there. And cars after cars after cars. Didn't buy. But it was fun. Maybe MECUM next time. 🚘🚘🚘
You’re a good guy Craig. That’s rare these days to be willing to help people out. Especially when you don’t have to. Karma will more than likely help you in the back end for being a stand up dude. Keep up the great work
Nice gesture to offer for help I would have done the same thing if one of my cars had an issue after saying it was ready to go , there is not many honest sellers now a days
It does not make sense to permanently show bids for a car that did not sell. If the auction did not get the visibility to meet their own appraised value and reserve then they should not list the bids. They can keep it up but they should only list the reserve number and say bidding did not hit the reserve. There is no point in a reserve if they are going to show the whole world that the highest bid was significantly less which then will devalue the car when trying to sell it in the future. There are a million reasons why they did not get at least 2 of the right bidders to bring the price up to meet reserve.
Craig is going to have a hit put out on his head by Doug Demuro and Tyler Hoover... Tyler doesn't like it when people bad-mouth "Daddy Doug" or Cars and Bids... 😂😂😂
Great video. Curious to hear what the new Hummer owner finds but also, kudos on going the extra mile. On the Cars and Bids stuff, their thoroughness is great but being that slow may eventually put them out of business. Every time I go to their site, I feel like the number of active auctions is fairly low. In regards to keeping history on auctions, I think there is some relevance to that, although buyers have to understand that prices/demand fluctuates often... especially on rare stuff. Dealing with ignorant people and low ballers is just part of it.
I would bet someone either knowingly or unfamiliar with the Hummer did something to damage it. No way you could drive with no issues, no warnings on the dash, no problem onto the Auction lot and then suddenly when it's in someone else's hands it magically breaks.
Great way to move the Hummer on... car sold as is... whatever the case this is a good way to sell the car... Good on you helping the buyer, it will come back to you in good Karma!
Had a '15 X6 for 8 years. The only thing I ever had to do to it was change the oil, new brakes and flush the brakes every couple of years as recommended. 87,000 miles. If you get the 6 cylinder, the are very reliable. I'd own a BMW 6 cyl before I would have anything GM.
Ahahahahh...take care of the people that take care of you. The auctioneer got me $5k more and I gave him a $20. 😅 Come on Craig a $20 ain't what it used to be in 1999.
Right but if he puts 50 cars through that day and 10 of those people give him a $20, he's making $200 a day in extras. It's not like Craig can sling him a 20% tip every time he goes to auction.
That really is a hard spot. However, things get damaged at the auction, and it's NOT your responsibility. PERIOD. They would not do it for you. So why are you doing it for them. Being the better guy is not always the right thing to do. Good luck 👍
I agree. I believe honestly its because he mentioned he was there with his kid, and $55,000 is alot of money to drop on a truck that was mentioned it "ran"
@@jrey1 "Ran" as in used to run😉. Doesn't mean its going to run in the future. My truck "ran" great. That is until a transmission line blew off and smoked the trans. So guess what, I repaired the line, rebuilt the trans and it runs again.
You mentioned how sometimes people will sabotage vehicles in order to get them cheaper at auction. With all the people looking over your hummer, is it possible someone did this?
but it drove through the lane fine. I'm thinking user error. I had to rent a 2022 SUV when my truck was in the shop. After 2 mins of looking I went back in "how to you put it in gear"??? The buttons were down above the console under everything else completely hidden from view.
If it is at the auction lot yet then it happened when the lot attendant parked it up until the new owner went to drive it off. Jumping to conclusion did the lot attendant put the emergency brake on and the new owner didn't notice and that is why it won't go into drive? Hopefully it is something stupid like that. Do these have electronic solenoids in them that year? Someone screwing with it hoping it is still there the next week and it gets resold cheaper? So many things can go thru your head in these situations. Great you are willing to help them out. we had to rescue a buyer of one of our vehicles years ago that stopped 45 minutes away. couldn't get the vehicle to turn over. we get there and realized he never push the engine stop button back in ( commercial vehicle). Pushed it in and it started fine. We had so many theories running thru our heads we never thought it would be something so simple. We all had the worse case scenario in our head, thinking what happened that it seized the engine so fast ?
Thats always the dream. "I drove a cool car for 2 months, and didn't lose money when I sold it" - You're a good guy for helping the buyer like that though man, he'll be thrilled
Heaps of Difference on GTO and Grand AM. GTO is a Holden Monaro designed and engineered in Australia rebadged a Pontiac and marketed in the US. HOLDEN was killed of by GM Detroit after being in business since 1948.
We call that hood on the GTO the penis hood! It looks really clean. I have owned 2 of them the last one made 630 RWHP and ran 10s in the 1/4. What a fun car.
Yeah my Mercedes wagon sold for $2100 less than what I paid for it. I mean it was perfect. But the damn auction ended at 2 PM on Thursday. I mean what the hell I took a beating on my car.
Has got to be something stupid wrong with that hummer either driver error or maybe trans cable or something minor either broke or came loose out of adjustment . The black corvette looks like to be a nice car .
Craig ,That Hummer was just a looker. It's had very little maintenance in it's time. It's been painted twice ,interior has been messed with by people who don't know what they are doing. Plus it has over 120,000 miles on the actual vehicle. Now with the new blue paint ,a shiny set of wheels ,and an under body spray ,people think it's a solid truck. This isn't a dig on you Craig ,just explaining the truck
The nice thing about auctions is that they show what people are *actually* willing to pay. And not only that, they show the *highest* people are willing to pay. You can say it's worth 54k all day long. But don't get upset when the market doesn't agree with you. Padding values with inaccurate information while expecting other places to hide accurate information is a big reason car dealers are difficult to distinguish from a sinking pile of excrement.
If I didn't like you or your videos. Or what you do. I wouldn't watch. Or subscribe. But I do watch. Subscribe. Learn a lot of what you do. And cars my thing! Autism I have. But I like cars. And when its hard out there. I like cars. Keep up the good work Craig! 👍
Craig I will give you thumbs up after you respond to a question! you started in Florida how did you get a dealers licence to sell out of your drive way? The way I understand you cannot sell from a residential property so how did you do it without a lot?
Most men having a civvy Hummer speaks to a self-confidence issue. Just sayn' 12:50 - "I'm glad I could bring something that gets everyone all excited" - my wife said something very like that on our honeymoon :)
It sucks when people who know they are buying red light call to bitch after the checks are sent out. They need to actually live in the world they are in. If you sign up to be a WWE wrestler, chances are you are gonna get a chair to the head. It's just reality.
Well, cars and bids is set up for the private seller, not the dealer who is trying to profit. It is a good alternative to getting a lower trade in offer.
I would have sent him a copy of the video with you driving to the auction showing all well.. clearly someone played around with it whilst in the auction's grounds.
been enjoying these vids bud. literally went and made an offer on a car lot by my house last night, getting back into the swing of things and these videos are catching me up on auctions- really appreciate the content man!
considering it drove through the LANE fine. For all we know buddy tried to force it into drive without putting his foot on the brake or something like that.
I love automobiles, but things like that hummer auction issue is why I would NEVER want to get into reselling cars. A lot of people purchasing a used car from an auction or privately become entitled Karen’s and because you sold a car you’re supposed to become their full time problem solver. Every car I’ve sold privately I’ve explained everything good and everything wrong with a car to such an extent I don’t get a call back, but it still happens some times

Alot of the big auctions will fine the buyer for phony arb requests. Even green light in lane is sale day arb only.
Most men having a civvy Hummer speaks to a self-confidence issue. Just sayn'
12:50 - "I'm glad I could bring something that gets everyone all excited" - my wife said something very like that on our honeymoon :)
“It does everything” except get good fuel mileage lol. Looks sweet though
What happened to the hammer? Love the new corvette
I can't believe you got $55,000 for that BOAT ANCHOR...somewhere someone is going to loose a lot of money on the anchor.
It sucks when people who know they are buying red light call to bitch after the checks are sent out. They need to actually live in the world they are in. If you sign up to be a WWE wrestler, chances are you are gonna get a chair to the head. It's just reality.
Used car saleman wins again. never seize to amaze me how unethical they are
@@xGlobs what are you talking about, your comment doesn't make any sense.
@@xGlobscease... not seize
off topic, sold a laptop "broken, dead" on eBay, buyer complained when it arrived "it was working"
Well, cars and bids is set up for the private seller, not the dealer who is trying to profit. It is a good alternative to getting a lower trade in offer.
I would have sent him a copy of the video with you driving to the auction showing all well.. clearly someone played around with it whilst in the auction's grounds.
been enjoying these vids bud. literally went and made an offer on a car lot by my house last night, getting back into the swing of things and these videos are catching me up on auctions- really appreciate the content man!
Awesome show Thanks.😊
Are you going to make more trips to Florida for more toys? They seem to do better in your area.
Thanks for keeping it real. I am saving up to start being a dealer in 2024!
I love this podcast videos.
"I don't like people to know what the bids were" lol
That corvette is awesome!
Crazy for a truck to break in 24 hours without any warning
considering it drove through the LANE fine. For all we know buddy tried to force it into drive without putting his foot on the brake or something like that.
It seems pretty suspicious.
Guy owns a broken Hummer now. He can fix it and move on with life.
I agree that cars & bids is doing everyone a disservice by leaving up the unsold listings. They seem to be trying to bring down car values
I love automobiles, but things like that hummer auction issue is why I would NEVER want to get into reselling cars. A lot of people purchasing a used car from an auction or privately become entitled Karen’s and because you sold a car you’re supposed to become their full time problem solver. Every car I’ve sold privately I’ve explained everything good and everything wrong with a car to such an extent I don’t get a call back, but it still happens some times
People are bringing in the buses all the way from Brazil, but not from Mexico and Mexico is connected.
Auction results are permanent. That is how every serious auction house in the world works.
I dont see a link for Piston to Pedals
great stuff thanks
Which auction did you the hummer at?
Aww would've liked to see the RS6 on the channel
I suppose the seller is not required to disclose at the auction that the Hummer does not drive over 50 mph.
