30k+ for a 2017 F150P with 75k miles? RIDICULOUS!

Define "dumping them"? Still more expensive than what I'm willing to pay.

I've been told wood in your car is luxury, but dang. On another note: 21k for a truck with 150k miles? Thats insane.

I was at Ford dealership yesterday and they had a Raptor listed for $126,000.00. What fool would make that purchase?

Those trucks sold for more at auction than I would pay retail.

30k for a truck with 70k? I must be broke or have no idea what stuff costs these days.

Pick up’s aren’t worth the price anymore.

I am so happy I don't have a car payment.

Let the dealers BURN their money... I'm not BUYING.. F the dealers

*the bmw "seat lift" was probably done by someone who was under 5 feet tall and very small, they couldn't see over the steering wheel and had to lift the seat*

It has a hitch on the jeep , it backed into salt water to launch their fishing boat .

50 grand for a truck that’s crazy

In 20 years it's going to be like Cuba with everyone driving 30 year old vehicles.

I still think cars are too expensive specially used cars. I would never give anybody that much money for those vehicles.

Maybe we, the people, are just sick of car dealers ÷ucking us

I remember when the local Ford dealer was trying to dump Base F150s back in 2009. They were around being advertised at $10K. If they get back to there again, I'd buy new.

Retired GM assembly line worker. Wouldn't spend a lot of money on Crap. Gotta 71 GMC longbed 3/4 ton. Wife loves her 68 C-10 Chevrolet 🇺🇸. Satisfied.

they beat up the back with a trailer. probably didn't know how to back it up.

Brandon you’ve encouraged me to get a dealer license just to pay a fair price on my next car

Each video from this guy just proves each time, I'm driving my 2007 Honda Accord with 200k miles on it right into the grave before I EVER pay this much for used SH--.

New Dodge dealership just opened down the road from me😂😂😂😂 Their lot is full and nobody's visiting them .🎉

As a former auto video tech from the rust belt I have 2 answers for you. 1) the lifted BMW seat was for a shorter than normal person (I believe I seen another comment mention this). When you see this you should also check out the pedals, because they probably jury rigged them too. 2) southern vehicles are not always undercoating the same as vehicles for colder climates. My guess would be the jeep was probably a southern destination vehicle and the owners took it north in the wintertime. The sand and salt on the road would have build up more by the rear bumper. It probably wasn't washed off right away. I seen this on a few vehicles at the body shop and all had this same scenario

35k for a used truck lol!

I love it when you take us to the auctions😊

Prices may be coming down but some people are just plain stupid, 22k for a 6 year old Toyota with 150,000 miles UFB, will be a used lot listed at 29995 or maybe more and yes the economy is going down, orders are dropping, volumes are dropping inflation is still raging and interest rates are not going down it’s a complete scat show

Thanks for showing the auctions. All the dealerships I've seen are overflowing with trucks, cars and suvs that NOBODY wants.

The Jeep rust on the back end is from launching/recovering water craft in salt water most likely Jet Skis

Never contemplated buying a car with just a solid frame 2-5k.... Then throwing in a new engine, tranny, and whatever. Still cheaper than a used truck for 15-25k with 100-200k miles.... Never thought I could say that.

Don’t listen to the hater’s, the auction videos are your bread and butter keep um coming. The f150 was great to see

@3:34 - My tiny wife is 4' 10 inches tall and is over here saying "Why didn't I think of that?"

I have lot's of extra cash, but I'm not buying overpriced vehicles. I'm fixing my stuff when it needs new. It's not the economy that's the problem. It's the thieves running the big 3..Screw em let them eat cake. And if Uncle Sam bails them out this time I'm going to leave this country.

That 4Runner went for exactly the KBB trade-in value for that vehicle, which means the "dealer" is going to have to find a sucker to buy that thing well above trade-in value. I know a sucker is born every minute but I think people are starting to wake up, especially in this disastrous economy.

That’s something Red Green, would do.

Someone knocked off my driver side electric mirror when I was in the Marines. I showed one of my buddies and he fixed it with a piece of wood. The mirror worked in 3 directions. Traded it in for a new car years later. I'm sure someone was surprised when they bought it at auction.

FYI...dealers are not responsible for fleet orders. They only act as a depot. They have to PDI them and that's it. No cleaning, no gas. Fleet orders are made through a fleet department at the manufacturer.

"Looks like it's lifted" 🤣 That truck is higher than a third floor

“If the economy is getting worse …” Come on man, the economy is 💩

I have been a "buy American" my whole life. After the covid and chip shortage scans i have not bought new. I am keeping my '98 ford and '11 chevy on tye road rather than buying anything. I am seriously looking at foreign badges now.

This is a huge indicator that the economy is contracting.

LOLOL I like and WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work

That jeep with the corrosion could be from someone who could have been a diver and used to throw his gear after diving in the rear soaking wet. Thought I saw a diver emblem inside.

they added the wooden blocks to raise the seat higher. that is probably for a very short woman, I am guessing. not a repair. I have seen this on cars for very short people, who need to sit up higher.

Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶

It's still stupid, when I paid $32,000 in 2019 for a Z-71 colorado. The same thing is $45,000 now! Let them dump.

Short person wanted 3.5 lift on seat

Would love to see you interview a floor plan company

Love the auction vids 👍🏻

Thanks man!

The economy is going gangbusters in the segments the government measures... Corporate profits, stock market, low unemployment, inflation is decreasing. It's doing horrible for small businesses and the average working person.

2:45 A BMW with a trailer hitch? And the seats boosted with 4x4s? Expected in Alabama but not in NC...

Enjoy all your videos.

smh this is why i cant deal with auctions, co part, ebay..ppl over paying for everything!!! great videos as usual sir

Robert Deniro's BMW

I really appreciate what you are doing. Makes me feel like I can get a handle on what is happening in the auto world. Thank you.

Great video

They raised the seat for a short person I suspect, modified not repaired

Beemer tail damage... bikes on rack slammed into gate

Thanks from Australia well done

Done ia an understatement for the auto industry.

Bought my 2012 Chevy Silverado new. I paid $41,000 for it. Took it straight to Ziebart and had a spray in liner, molded mud flaps, hood protector, undercoated and rust protection. That cost me another $2,000. I take it back each year and they wash it, wax it, detail it inside (leather and carpet protection), touch up the undercoating and spray body panels with rust protection. It cost me $202.00 every year for this maintenance service. Truck is completely rust free and looks brand new inside and out. The truck has 130,000 miles on it. I did have to put a Jasper transmission in it last year. I plan on keeping it for another 10 years even if I have to put money into it every year I will because I can’t justify spending $80,000 to $120,000 on a new truck. I also strongly recommend to everyone I know that if you do buy a new vehicle to take it to Ziebart and have it sprayed for rust protection and undercoated. It works.

Next video "ITS OVER" lol love the video!

Great job. Loved the video. Next time could you show us the cars you bought and when you’re talking about trucks, can you tell us if the truck is a 4X4. Again really good job thank you.

hey, want to say thanks. Been watching some of your tubes, as I am shopping for a second vehicle. But, I did sell my 94 Xl Ranger 'high mileage', all manual for asking to the first looker. I priced no-nonsense, was honest about downsides, pushed the upsides.

2:29 the wood blocks are standard option in german cars, something about being eco friendly

Short people have a right to drive too Brandon!!

I remember back in 2008 my dad bought a brand new 2008 Tacoma 4 door SR5 Prerunner for $23,000 after negotiating and some good rebates. Now they want 30,000 for a used one with stained seats at auction. I’ll keep driving my old trucks thanks.

thanks for all the detail on the used car & truck prices in the N.C. area. also do you know how N.C. compares to other USA markets on used prices?

I bet the BMW driver was 4 feet tall and needed the wood blocks to see over the dashboard. There are anti-rust coatings for the frame and they are recommended for 4Runners and likely other off-road vehicles like the Jeep.

How is it even legal to sell that BMW with the wood seat mount? I would think the auction house would deny it for safety reasons. That car is going to get someone killed.

Spot on!

I think the situation in the economy is self inflicted by corporations raising prices for too high. Add all the extra costs on vehicles makes these more expensive than people are willing to pay even if they have the money

You remember when the guy cut a hole in the door to unlock the car?

Should have painted that wood black! 🤣

I had 2x4 holding the back of the front seat from falling back on a $80 ford coupe. When your car craps out between LA and Vegas you can't be choosey.

I can replace the drivetrain of my truck for the monthly payment on a new truck. Why would I buy anything at these prices?

I can ship a whole bunch of cars to you from south Florida. They will be dry by the time they get there. Good deal. I'll give it to you without any market adjustments.

Robert Deniro was the previous owner of the BMW, confirmed

Dumping?? Where?? They have their people out there bidding on the cars to get the price up...worse than lawyers...Sharks!!!

15:36 we had an old Taurus like that I think, was the bubble style. Was a hunk of junk lol

The economy is toast.

My aunt just bought a 23 challenger 6 cylinder for 25k in Missouri. It was listed for 40k. Dealers are moving on their prices. Do some work and you'll get a good deal. She haggled with them for a couple days. But she got what she wanted to pay.

Were those rebuilt ID stickers on the jam of that 2017 F150? Carfax makes a big difference in price on those late model cars, trucks and SUVs. You don't mention that.

Because they can't sale their new they are dumping the used that they kept 3 years ago because they had nothing to sale. Very good info and you reported it first.

The economy is terrible, We've been in recession for over a year just nobody wants to tell you that in the news.

Didn't you just pay cash for a new $50k minivan? My family is doing alright in the economy as well. Never made more.

Anytime car makers follow the demands of our government, we can expect tomfoolery to follow.

In California the new law says that if you buy a pick-up, it is now classified as a commercial vehicle. That license is way too expensive for people. So in dealers lots here in California, they are just sitting.

You’ve done a really great job with this channel. I’d but a car from you.

What is a newer Rubicon going for? Like a 2020 or newer? Have you seen any?

local stallantis dealer near me has half their parking lot empty, all the trucks are gone. Never seen this before. I was in shock to see that empty parking lot. Had to have gone to auction cause people are not buying that many at once. Saw the salesman driving around a new jeep with the price written on the front windshield at the gas station, guy got out and was struting around admiring it in front of everyone, advertising.

I looked at an old ranger today. The frame was perfect, the floor panels were shot.

There is a good chance the rust on the jeep Rubicon was caused by acidic alkaline in red clay. My trail ridding buddy has an older 4 runner with front and rear bumpers rusted away by red clay.

Used to sell new cars well in the past. I can tell you exactly what the BMW x5 mods and and damage is. the blocks are there because some one vertically either to tall or to short. Sense you basically sit on the floor. in a X5 a taller person needed extra height because the seat doesn't go high enough. Or a short person couldn't see over the dash. Seat would go far enough forward but not high enough. Now the damage to the back is from a bicycle rack mounted to the hitch.

Thank you

The Jeep that has Crusty paint with rust on the panels, when body work was done the body shop tech most likley sanded the rust resistant coating probably a zink or the like coating off of the panels during the body work before primer and painting. If you check the carfax there was most likely a accident on the Vin.

Hi Brandon. I've watched a few of your videos lately and seen you on Michael Bordenaro recently. Maybe you're getting tired of making these videos but they are fascinating to watch. I like your style and commentary about the broader economy. Feels like you should keep going and milk this while you can.

That rust on the back of the Jeep is from backing a boat into the salt water from a ramp.😊

BMW blocks to raise the seat up - same basic thing with a late 70s chevy pickup. They used wood to raise the seats so you could see over the hood.

$30,000 FOR A SONATA BE REAL BRO....

WOW !!! Love your channel .....watching from the UK...........that BMW seat looked so dangerous, that whole contraption would simply shear off in even a mild collision...esp a rear end.....one shudders to think of the consequences........much better to fix the seat height adjuster eh !
