It sucks that people post phony bids, so discouraging!
i saw a $5000 bid and that it was sold, the feedback rating for the guy with the $5000 was like 218 i believe, the highest rating i saw among all the previous bidders, what happened?
Junkyard motor and salvage it the car looks to be in great condition other than the motor. Or sell it for parts.
replace engine or sell the car as a parts car, you will get your money back if you replace engine and hopefully get much of it back as a parts car see. i suspect you planned on an engine replacement at the dealership.
Please don't crush the car just fix it up
Bought it for less than 500 bucks, put another $300 or $400 into a junkyard motor, resell it for $2,200 and you made yourself a profit after getting it cleaned
Put a new Junkyard motor in it.
Vinnie Madrox where would this car be worth $2200? Cars worth $600-700 clean title good condition. With a flooded title maybe $400-500 here in LA
Make a skeeler
@@MLProductions.1 not even more like 200$
Ramon Velazquez lol seriously I was being generous you gotta be crazy to pay $2200 for a flooded pos
its a nice car over all, I would hate to see it get destroyed just for a bad engine when it has a ton of potential for the body and interior.
So much room for mildew to grow
Dude put a junkyard engine in it
I agree, it still has potential.
I agree destroying it ...not good NO BUENOO
I also think that is the way to go. If your goal is to have a car to sell on the lot, of course you want to get it running. Everything else looks OK on it.
This is definitely an American thing. If one part of a car breaks, they crush it or destroy it in some way. A replacement engine would be cheap and would make for good content on this channel, the replacement.
Yeah
Probably get a motor cheap for it. But what about other problems?
Because it’s a sharp little car in yellow. Someone will buy it!
Sharp lol #not
SHARP ASS CAR. #everyonelovesayellarasspontiacincludingyouandyomama
Yes
Joes Golden Garage i forgot how ugly this facelift was til this video. Sharp like a sphere😂
@@catfisher420 Be worth about 1500$ running, Dig alittle deeper
New junkyard engine?
Sunflower. Replacement engines are cheap and easy to install.
If you think about it, this is only the second stinker you've had (the Yukon being the other). So you aren't doing THAT bad. And those motors are a dime a dozen, so you can use that full shop Mike has, to throw another one in it lol
I feel like you should go pull a engine from a salvage yard and swap it out
Part it out, there are a ton of great parts that could save another Sunfire from the crusher.
You got it fairly cheap! Surely you can get a second hand engine cheap and still make money?
Just had to get one of those motors from the yard for a car we are selling cost me $325 installed it and it runs GREAT,,,!,!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you should get an engine from the junkyard.
Why don't you just drop another engine in it? Junkyards are probably full of these engines, from wrecked cars. Not even expensive ones, I belive. But you got to do the math yourselves.
Øyvind Hvaal it’s probably not worth the time and effort to take 2 engines out
its easy
It's a flood car so the car probably stinks inside and the computers are most likely shot
I don't think so I had a '99 sunfire that I had from 2002 until 2012. Fucker was built like a tank, but the last year I couldn't keep an engine in it for more than 3 months.
Junkyard engine man, its such a cute yellow car that someone will eagerly snatch it up. If not, part it out man, make some money
Yes
Get used engine or donate it someone might want to fix it.
Put a junkyard motor in her and sell it on the lot! You can probably get $1450 for it with a junkyard engine
If you are going to continue to buy flood cars I would like to make a suggestion. Before you ever crank them over drain the oil out and put diesel fuel In as a replacement for oil let them sit 24 hours then try breaking it free. After you break it free drain the diesel fuel Then add a extremely light weight oil I've done this many times and had great results.
Marvel Mystery oil
That is true
not exactly a car genius -keeps buying junk
Yea, wtf? At least suck the water outta the cylinders, put some oil down each hole, drain the oil, and put a 0w20 in it before trying to break it free!! what did they think was gonna happen?!?
He doesn't have an idea of what he's doing.
I just shaked my head seeing him cranking that engine.
Good video men! Quality is always getting better! Keep it up
You can get these 2.2L engines at a junkyard for 200.00 around here these are a dime a dozen.
Get a used engin it would make great content for the channel
A motor will run under 300 bucks just throw a motor in and sell it for 2k with new motor swap
You can probably sell those clean body panels and good tires for $475 or more
Big Al's Bike & Auto no shut your mouth
Jonathan you on your menstrual cycle ma'am?
Don’t destroy her, she’s gonna be just fine with a new engine. There are way better cars to destroy. Give her a second chanche😉
I‘d also definitely prefer a swap video over a destruction video, it seems way more interesting. Greetings from germany!🇩🇪
Brilliantly satisfying
drain the oil pan first live the plug out and see if the crank case is full of water !
Bruh ong like how tf do you not check oil
I agree with everyone a junkyard engine should work 💯 then flip the car if u get it decent again
Big Al did a floodcar once, got it to work. Did you see that video ?
It’s amazing what comes in a box of cereal these days... some give you a car.
50/50 split between parting it out and replacing the engine. Depends on the value of the rest of the car running after cleanup vs. the value of the parts.
Hey next time you 'delouse' a flooded motor...when you take out the spark plugs...also drain the engine oil/water, the bottom end is a sealed deal and can be hydrolocked too...engine swap ...don't kill it...we like to watch you fix stuff!!!!
This is an awesome video, Randy!
Engines should be easy to find. If not save it for parts. Buy another sunturd It's got plenty of body parts.
Exactly, I have 3 of them very good price I parted out one personally a salvage title
f I don't get this back I'm obviously not a close friend.
Now, I have a game for you, it's been played since 1977. Once you read this, you have to send it to 15 people. Your next 5 days will be like this:
Day 1 - you will wake up to the biggest shock of your life.
Day 2 - you will cross paths with an old friend you have missed.
Day 3 - you will find yourself with a lot of money.
Day 4 - your day will be perfect.
Day 5 - the love of your life will kiss you.
Don't break this. Send it to 14 friends in 10 minutes.
It's not that hard. Whoever sent this to you must care about you.
Don't know how to send it? Lol. Just hold your finger on it and it should say forward
Laronia Wright What on earth are you talking about??
Definitely a good engine swap candidate, and you said you wanted content, soooo...
I liked the last idea so much shot it while it’s on fire being crashed 😂😂
Why not put a junk yard motor or a refurbished motor in her?
Throw a junkyard engine in it there is still some money to be made here dude. :)
Change engine buy it from scrap yard so you can put it lot
Junkyard engine is the best way to go, salvage the project. It will bring in some cash those engines are cheap to find in your local yard.
I learned something new everyday
Why not fix it?I'm sure you could find a good motor in the boneyard in texas somewhere.
I vote for engine swap too!!!
Well that sucked. The engine is not the hardest thing to swap out. Have an engine hoist? Remove the accessories, disconnect fuel lines, electrical connectors, disconnect transmission (bellhousing and torque convertor), engine mounts.... just takes time and patience.
As much as this day sucked, you can look at the bright side. By getting the crankshaft to turn, you can now access the torque convertor bolts to make it easier to remove the engine. If the engine is completely locked, it would be difficult to pull the engine if the convertor is still attached to the flexplate. I've had to do that before, it's not fun. Usually, depending on space, it means unbolting the subframe and dropping the engine+transmission as a single unit, then seperating the two once they are on the ground. So as much as today was a loss, there was also a gain. =)
destroying it... naah there s enough ppl who do this kind of things, not really the thing i'd post on a chanel that's about fixing stuff tbh
decent options imo:
- partout (there are many nice bits on this, you should be able to break even or make a lill bit of money with it that way, weight the leftovers in for scrap)
- try to find a crashed/beat up sunfire or compatible car with a fine motor
- cheap junkyard engine maybe? would be a lot of content for sure, not so sure about how worth it, it would be (probs not really)
I agree, destroying cars is retarded.
@@Toxic2T unless they have no engine or anything internal
“At least the engine still cranks” *snaps* I almost died 😂😂😂
A lot of people on here are saying put a junkyard engine in it, I don't know if that's worth doing but it's more than doable. Otherwise just part it out, it's got a ton of good parts on it
Buy something with a good engine and bad body from copart and use that?
I own a 2003 Pontiac sun fire and it is the same exact color but I love the damn thing good on gas and is pretty fast for what it is all around great car
Here I believe you can get an engine out of the salvage for $150. That car could still turn a profit.
$500 for an engine in Wichita or half that if you go down to DFW Texas, worth saving if you don't have any other active projects that will make more money
Get a junkyard engine
LS and rear wheel drive??
Put a engine in
Great content on the video keep up the great job
I love this guy. Always an optimist.
I would most defiantly put a motor in that 100% You can definitely put a motor in it and still profit
Junkyard motor for it, or piece part it out
Swap the engine and do a video about it then sell it. Nice little car. You'll make your money back on it.
A new vinwiki video, a new Hoovies Garage video and a new Auto Auction Rebuilds video. My day is made- and on top of that just got released from rehab for my knee surgery and can drive again :)
Great cars I personally own 3 right now very reliable
Years ago I bought a brand new 1999 Sunfire SE. It was my daily driver for 14 years (125,000 miles) and I never had a problem with it. Good reliable little car. Traded it in for a brand new Dodge Challenger R/T.
ahh going thru the old school AAR content. gotta hand it to you randy, always grinding doing your thing and making it happen. good for you brother. no matter what you face, you steamroll through it and win at the end of the day. wish I was closer to AR would love to do a meet up as a fellow car guy but don't have the guts to start my own content lol
Did you change the oil before turning it over??
Im shocked you havent baught a car trailer and a cheaper truck by now with all the cars that go in and out. Especially with the new dealership!
I want to see him put a trailer hitch on the Corvette.
Tsuki san You Sir are a genius! This world needs more innovators like you! Haha
c'est la vie. Shell looks good though. Engine swap
put a engine in it
I love these little cars. Had a 98 Se and a 97 Gt. only issue i ran into was the 98 sunroof and driver window partially worked
You already knew the out come of buying a hydro locked car. The only way it would have run is if the owner was smart enough to not start the car after it was under water. Hiding the key was a good trick as well it makes some one want to take the risk to buy the junk.
Got one of the same cars to start with a water line to about the same place. Took plugs off (changed them of course) turned over, shot water out, changed fluids, air filter, and she started. Still running to this day happened during mathew. The owner said it actually floated
Engine swap perhaps?
Chances are the damage was already done. But next time you need to suck out the water and change the oil before you even try turning it over. Water can’t be compressed so it ends up breaking whatever is the weakest part of the motor. When you have a engine fully submerged water gets inside everywhere.
You could probably get a motor from a bone yard cheep and still make money on it
"Now the battery might be too low for it to turn over"
* trys cigarette lighter 😂
By the way you can probably get a wrecked sunfire with a good engine for next to nothing.
I love my Sunfire :) it is holding the driveway down at the moment, but I plan to rebuild it someday for my kids to have. I know that's not a real prize, but I'm sentimental.
Nice car greetings from germany
antonio boras Aha auch ein Deutscher😉 Würde mich so freuen wenn er einfach den Motor wechselt. Das Kfz ist doch ansonsten noch gut in Schuss!
Jawohl,natürlich
You could get it all in pieces to teach us how to change some heavy stuff like the doors or so ?
What happened to the flatbed trailer you had bought? The one you used to get that Silverado bed.
You can find a cheap Motor???
Seeing the state of the car, I would replace the engine. It shouldn't be much of a challenge.
That ending hurt my heart tbh. Those great vehicles. Mine has had 2 swaps so far. These are worth being preserved 😭
Love the autoauctions.io flips
I like your videos. I have learned a ton by watching you. I am in the great state of New York where we have an Co-part auction just an hour away. This yellow Pontiac, while not a big dollar car, could prove to be a neat rebuild project.Maybe, just maybe, you could (A.) rebuild that engine or (B.) put a little hotter engine in it. Bottom line, I think that whenever we get cars or buy cars, even if they are screwed, I just think that bringing that car purchase to fruition is both satisfying as well as an appreciation to your channel. Again, great channel. You keep buying and selling and we'll keep watching up here in New York. best of luck Randy!
Junkyard engine swap
Great buy Randy ... you can't always expect them to be in tip top shape bud. Throw a used engine in it clean it up real nice and send it to Wierd Beard to sell.... I believe that's a good option ..
Did you learn what not to do from this experience?lol. I love your videos!
the color truly makes it live up it's name though,
But it fits it pretty well
Before deciding if it's worthy of an engine check out transmission if it's full of water just part it out, and after that I'd say see if it does still run with no rod and finish her off
That is actually a very good suggestion about checking the transmission, too however even if that ends up being bad, he could probably find a parts car that was smashed in the rear of side with a good engine and transmission at Copart, pick the whole car up cheap and swap both the engine and transmission into this one.
First time watching. Cool. I subscribed.
Buy a wrecked Sunfire that need parts with minor damage for a little money.
You could find a used motor for it for cheap. Probably not worth it in the end but it would make a good video or 2..
throw a junkyard engine in it .
I got my 03 at 119. My first car. She's almost at 200k I love that car
Randy, what would this car be worth in this condition if it was running well?
Get a cheap junkyard engine
Water can get in the oil sump sometimes from blowby and flood the crank case, that will lock it up too. Usually when an engine floods, drain the oil, take the plugs out, put diesel in the cylinders and put some in the crank case, let it sit for a few days. That is if you really want to save the engine. Then crank it over several times with diesel in the sump to wash any water out.
Did u drain the gas tank
Awesome I was hoping you were going to buy it
aww come on man!! that is a beautiful car!! put an engine in it!! its to nice to distroy
If its a 4T40a 4 speed auto, it does have a does have a flexplate inspection cover on the bottom of the bell housing.. Not sure if they were still using the 4T40e when they dropped the quad 4 2.4 and 2.2 engines in '03 and replaced them with the ecotec 2.4 though.
