I Sell Cars For UNDER $5000
My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.

The last new car I bought was a 2000 Mustang. Drove it 17 years and sold it to the young high school boy for $1,500, He checked my oil. air. washed my windows and checked the radiator fluid at the gas station . He always loved that car and was very nice to check it each time I got gas. He was helping that old lady in the hot red Mustang as he sure didn't have to and most gas stations won't do it for you. When I asked him if he wanted to buy it and told him how much he almost cried. It feels good to make people happy and it was his first car too.

An old friend of mine sold cash cars only on his lot and none were over $3500. The guy got rich with this business model. He would always be very transparent on anything wrong with the vehicles and customers appreciated his honesty. He lost his lot due to rezoning. He made enough to retire early. Keep doing what you are doing. You will be very successful like my old friend.

He always will beat them on price, though, as he bought in when it was cheap ( 13 years ago was at the bottom of the last recession ). He has a gravel and grass lot, a simple building, and that's it. Most new dealers have millions into it, now, to get started. A major dealership? tens of millions, minimum. Why he can do this is (my guess, likely accurate) is that everything is paid off and he owns that little piece of land. Now, you'll get gouged 8% and half a million to get just a piece of land that large. So you literally can't sell for that cheap.

I am dealer in Georgia, I have been doing the same exact thing for more than 20 years. He is absolutely correct, the average price of a cash has increased but is still doable. The hardest part is finding them, selling is the easy part. I try to find older cars with really low miles, I only sell 5-10 a month but it's just my son and I with very little over head. I have many customers that bought have multiple cars, I am proud of what I do and get a sense of satisfaction to give someone a good product

Great content. I purchased a 2001 Mazda MPV for $2,000.00 it had around 137,000 miles it's my daily driver. The dealer says I should get around 300,000 on the motor. I currently have 207,000 on the motor. Never have had anything go wrong with it. I keep it well serviced. The only thing that I have had to fix was the window motor on the drivers side. I also spent $1,200.00 on the paint job. Nothing else. I realize it's not a cool car. But, I'm cool! It does what it was created to do. People loose their identity to a vehicle. " YOU ARE NOT YOUR VEHICLE"! You are a separate, the vehicle is created for you, not you created for it! People pay more for vehicles than they do for things like Health, family and home! It's okay if that's what they want to do. But for us I like to put my money to work for me in places where I can see a return. I also have inherited MOMS 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, so I don't ever plan to purchase another vehicle in the near future.

Beater cars. The kind you put the bumper sticker on that says, "Don't laugh. My other car is a Lamborghini", or pick your favorite! I drive one to work every day, and I have complete peace of mind about its security...the driveline is dead-reliable, but the exterior looks like the 7th level of Hell, but I keep all important functions working. Meanwhile the new vehicles I see at work get dinged, bent, scratched, broken into, and their owners look depressed as they pay their very large payments. The closer in to a city center that you work, the more you need beaters.

You're a hero for selling cars to people who desperately need a car but can't afford to go into debt. Single mothers, students, and just your average wage slave. Half of the country can't afford a $400 emergency. Cars last a lot longer than they used to but many are quick to discard them for the flashiest, newest truck. I have noticed that most of the private lots have closed. Dealers are only interested in late model trades.

For the right price, there is a market for these cars. He's found a niche market that few sellers want. He's laid it out, less than $500 net for each car.

@@rst90274 those millions of cars being traded in are done so for a reason; they're clapped out and the owners are trying to get rid of them because maintenance is costing as much as a new car payment. He's not making 500 net per car, he's making double his money on each one. It just takes 1 day to shop at auction. They wander around looking for something to fill the gap in their inventory like sedans vs SUV's, pop the hood and make sure it still has an engine, turn it over if they're lucky and then tow it back home for some grease monkey in the back shop who works by himself to try and get them all drivable by the end of the week. Never buy a cheap used car from a dealer, especially a dealer who's parking lot is made of dirt.

What you have going on there, upfront pricing, no bullshit fees, all in the back of my head. Only thing I might do different, I would have more of my service area inside, repair detailing. Primarily for comfort of myself and staff. And if I needed to be it inside I've got a lighting to process cars 24 hours a day. Just put on a second shift. Volume volume. And with a better working environment, I think you get top notch people. First thing I did at my other company was to air conditioned a 10,000 ft² warehouse, I had zero turnover in 5 years.

I turned them down because I knew I would not have the money to buy a car to get me to the outlying clinics I needed to go to. These places were all in rural areas, so there was no way to take a bus. I would've loved to have had a lot like yours nearby. Thank you for doing this because I know there are a lot of new healthcare graduates who just need something to get around with and are on an extremely tight budget.

No, unfortunately. That would hurt him as well, just like everybody lol. A crashing economy would mean less people to buy cars period, and two, would increase the demand and thus the price for these cheaper lower end used vehicles (thus reducing the profit a dealer could get/sell them for... which he said Himself in this video). So, it'll 1) make cheaper cars harder to find and/or buy and 2) reduce a dealer's profitability.... meaning lower volume/sales numbers as well as lower profitability per vehicle sold (in addition to just the depressed economy/people as a whole, reducing the market size)

Hi Brandon, When I see that big sign at a car dealership that reads "CERTIFIED USED CARS," I have to laugh. Many people believe it means the dealership has thoroughly inspected the cars and made any needed repairs. That sign means that all the vehicles on the used car lot are certified as being used. That's a big difference!

CA makes it impossible for working people to buy a legal vehicle but I keep my prices low where I make enough of a profit to keep it moving but affordable for the working class to not get ticketed and towed and harassed.

Funny thing is, I have a couple of customers who own a dealership just like yours, almost word for word, the only exception is they have a couple of dealerships they deal with, they take everything from them over 10 years old or over 150k miles. What they can't sell for a profit become parts cars for the fleet. In talking to them, there are cars they may lose a couple of hundred dollars on, they go through them, fix what needs to be fixed, fluid changes, fresh brakes etc (they own the mechanics shop as well so yeah, they make money one way or another), but, they have the reputation in of selling cheap reliable safe cars.

They have newer more expensive cars but both times my husband and I walked in test drove the car we were interested in. Then wrote a check and left with our car. There was no haggling. It's awesome! If we lived in NC we'd definitely look at your vehicles. We don't care what we drive. It just has to move my family and our stuff and be reliable. That's all we ask.

I usually make sure everything works and is safe, clean it real good and see what happens. People come and tire kick and want to pay less than I picked it up for before repairs. I usually price at KBB private party middle of the road and people try to cut that in half. Never lost money, but have had to let two cars go for what I had into them.

I helped my 16 year old daughter find her first car that she bought with her own money that she worked for. It was freaking eye opening what cars cost these days. I haven’t bought a car in ages. In Western WA anything under $5,000 is totally beat to hell. We waited months because I refused to allow her to spend that much money for junk. We got lucky and she got a 20 year old Camry in great shape for $4,100. But value in the car market is almost impossible to find these days.
