I am afraid any tax refund goes to food, shelter, and bills.

$42k for a two year old jeep? No thanks.

I feel like 4000 is more genuine than 3999 as a buyer.

$50,000 to $57,000 they are out of their mind for purchasing it.

Round numbers is a big plus. Hate seeing 99s in a car price.

Car manufacturers are selling less cars now than they did in the 1980s when the USA had 10s of millions less people. That tells the story.

I'm single, mid 30's, no kids, okay factory job. My refund was actually a bit more than normal, and I'm not car shopping anytime soon. Love these videos!

Your dealer has good used cars and you and your employees are trustworthy and always upfront on what you sell and that is how you stay in business!!!

REFUND? What's a refund? I'm one of those lucky guys who makes just the right amount of money to get screwed in every way possible. I'm praying to just break even.

I wish more dealers were like this. My family has tried to buy cars from my local car lots that sell cars for 5k and under. I had looked at a Ford product, it had an oil leak and a hole in exhaust. I told them if they repaired those things I'd buy it. They called 2 days later and said it was done. I went in with cash, the leak was from valve cover which they put a layer of silacone on the seam with a caulk gun, and had put a leak band clamp on the hole in the exhaust line. The clamp was designed for a water line and had a rubber membrane which of course had melted on the exhaust and smelled horrible. Needless to say I walked.. Another car lot sold my brother a vehicle with a broken door handle, they said they already ordered the handle and when it came in they'd install it for him. Weeks went by and finally my brother called them, they guy that sold him the car answered the phone, found out who was calling and pretended to change his voice, saying they fired that salesperson for promising people repairs after the sale they weren't going to do. Typical sleazy used car lot sales tactics that give them all a bad reputation.

So dealers rather take a loss at the auction than give customers a good deal… wow…

Love your videos man. It educates me about the car market and I appreciate your insight as a used car dealer. Thanks for what you do and your dedication to informing us laymen and women about the car market.

Refunds are 35% lower this year

Had to order a part at the Dodge dealer today, so for a laugh I stopped in the showroom... One car, a Scat pack Swinger...$70,600..w/add ons of course $1,600 Ceramic coating...🙄

Hey Brandon, word just out, BIG recall of Jeeps-all of them basically

I hate being manipulated so good on you with your car prices.

I agree with you. When your selling a vehicle, that is one less customer for your competition to sell a car to. I was in business for 33 years, you pound on the competition during the good times as well the bad times. You're doing it right, don't change because the herd is do something different.

7 cars to fix up, clean up and make a profit.👍

I am a dealer in Portland Oregon and I have not seen a price drop. It has been around 500 under retail to a 1000 over so it is very hard to pick up anything

Not only has the volume of cars going through the auctions gone down, the number of cars that are run through repeatedly due to ridiculous reserves/minimums and no sales by the sellers is unsustainable. There has got to start being a flat seller’s fee each time a car is run through whether it sells or not.

We love you Brandon, much love from Ghana 🇬🇭

I'm sure you understand that you are selling older budget friendly cars and that's why you're doing well. Interest rates have to be killing the intermediate market. Cash will always be king.

The one thing people today have never lived thru is a depression. My Mom told stories how they survived during the last one and how her aunt bought a 200 acre farm in Indiana and that’s what got them thru.

I hope your company does amazing for you, your employees and your customers. 👍

I just sold a high mileage 06 Altima to a used car dealer @ my price ,, full askingl & didnt blink an eye ,, I paid too much at auction ( so i thought )

Have to buy 😂 nope, I'm going to sit back and wait for the real desperation to kick in. I've got nothing but time.

Respect for being honest with the price and no hidden fees. It is such a pain in the *** everywere else with the hidden fees.

I'm glad there are still car dealers like you who sell cars for what the price says on the window. I used to work at a used car lot and we sold them for what the price on the window said. I went to a new car dealer near me to buy a 2017 Toyota Rav4 for 20,000 dollars but they tried to tack on another 10,000 dollars on the price with extra fees. So they can keep it.

WYSIWYG pricing? Brandon that is business goodwill. I have seen the other thing too much in the last few years while attending to my car needs. Keep giving car dealers a good name! I hope those shoppers buy all of your cars and the "Inflatable Tube Man" as well.

Drove by your lot yesterday and it is looking more bare than usual which is good for you guys.

You are very sensical and forthright. You will continue to succeed. Respect.

Just went with my niece to help her get a car ended up getting her brand new Toyota Camry used cars are so ridiculously priced it was cheaper to buy a new one

Thank you for sharing your sales trends. I'm not looking for a car, but I am deeply interested in the benchmarks our economy passes.

What’s a tax refund ?

I brought my current car back in 2015. My 2007 ford focus has served me well over these past few years. Last year Id did get conned by a Midas. A simple cut break line turned into a $2800 repaired. I had to get it financed. The shop did not tell me the details about the financing. The interest rate was 149%. I had paid over $2000 in interest only before I was approved for a loan so I could pay the finance company $2800. Other than that. My car has been a great ride. I did expect to have gotten a new car by the time I reached the point in my life where I would be making $60k/year. But the economy is crap and the cost of living effectively make my current income equivalent to a salary of $40k back in 2017. While I would love to upgrade to a truck or a van. I just cant afford that. Only way I am buying a new car is iff my car gets totaled or if its so broken, that it will cost me over $2k to repair.

A dealership with integrity 👏

One of the hardest working men, along with his wife, in the mobility business!

Standard Honda Fit's are fun drives everyone should try them out at least once

Keep doing a good job and selling the good cheap cars. That's where the business is going to be for a long time now that house values are twice what they should be, new cars are priced at insane levels but most people's incomes have stayed the same or are less.

Being ready and able to buy when a good opportunity arises is a blessing. Good for you, man!! I hope the deals keep coming your way!

Here in the Midwest, the dealers are not budging in prices. Please give us names of reputable dealers like yours in the Midwest. We're hurting already. We've has layoffs since December and everyone is scared. We don't have the money for these ridiculous prices. Just a A-B better beater. They are still asking $12000 for a 10+ year old car with 200k milage.

The (7) cars you bought is what I have left to pay on my 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid! 🤣 Looking back, I'd rather have bought a used car.

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us the consumers I consider your videos to be an invaluable tool for those looking for insight in purchasing used cars Thanks again 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Thank you for your positive posts!!

I don't believe it's all because of the economy. You have people doing bad, and others are doing good. Interest rates are also dropping in my area. I am retired. Saying that, the shop I worked at is slammed. A waiting list of a week for appointments. Customers are dropping big $$$ to repair rather than buying another car. The parking lot is full and overflows into other lots.

I really enjoy the way you explain both sides of the possibilities the market can take.

within the first minute and a half of the vid, everyone sees how well you treat your employees. the trust you bestow upon alex is a great example - he has autonomy to use company money to buy cars. you save a whole lot of worry and time by letting go and not micro-managing. important things can be delegated to good people. small businesses especially need to operate this way; you would not have time for a youtube channel if you insisted on doing all the buying and insisted on overseeing every repair, detail and transaction. most of what motivates employees to excel is feeling consequential.

The $3999 vs $4000 is more for search engine optimization than any manipulation of the customer. People search prices in whole numbers. If they set $4,000 as their maximum price, they may not see your product because it’s at the maximum and may be shown much lower in results.

I truly feel educated every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks.

Appreciate the insight you give your subscribers. If we have a feel for whats going on at auctions, we will be better shoppers when looking for a another vehicle. Thanks!

I love the way you operate your business. I wish you all the success

You can do this my friend. You tell it like it is. You're a good salesman.

Yeah this weather in the charlotte and greater area sucks right now. Really want to come see your lot, need to get a car for my daughter. Unfortunately we can’t wait, her car is almost a driving hazard at this point

Like your pricing structure, I see 99, or , 97 , whatever, I always round up. Great work

The car you sittin' in Brandon...the door looked pretty good!

There's one more reason why you are selling more and it's because people have researched you and where you are and they know they are going to get a fair deal for once in their life. I live in Massachusetts and I want to come down there to buy a rust free older vehicle with very little technology in it and that is easy to work on. New vehicles suck.

I enjoy your tips and advice.

Brandon, here watching. 👍

Hi Al from down under here thank you for being you. I love your channel but one thing is to keep your mind on all the time repossessions that’ll tell you market even better. The crash is on the doorstep. It just hasn’t hit anybody yet. Cheers bud

You seem like an honest person. I have empathy for you considering the pile of shit the market has become. I hope you survive.

Good video, re: additional auction fees. New or used, seems that everyone in the supply chain has gotten fat on fees (add-ons). Although I'm in the market for a new truck, I just won't pull the trigger, I negotiate a price to invoice (or below) but the dealers have gotten so used to the additional "PORK" on the deal they've forgotten what it's like to survive in leaner times. They have forgotten the basic sales strategies of supply and demand, i.e. reduced prices = lower inventories. This will push many dealers into bankruptcy.

Thank you for what you do.👍👍

Great content! I'm still holding my breath for a '13 Silverado extended cab!

I wish dealers from Austin understand this, I have almost 20 of my friends go to neighboring cities like Houston, simply because they don't want to deal with bullying of Austin dealers

That's how I feel about all the expensive stuff!

You're my pasty car slinging hero!

i have a friend ocaasionaly drives for local dealers... they still want 8k+ profit....on used cars...DIAGUSTING

I wondered why you had not post an auction video lately. Sorry, I know how much fun you have there.

Rock on, Phil! Way to help out, man!

My local auction just added a cash handlers fee. If you pay cash for your cars they charge $25 per car to take your money.

Your a good honest car dealer that's very hard to find

Yesterday, I went past a Carmax in the Buffalo, NY area and I noticed a bunch of open spaces on a normally packed lot.

I like your auction videos.

I am glad that I am in a situation to choose when I buy my next car

Very Good Show Thank You

I drove past Carmax in Dothan, AL and couldn’t happen to notice the lot is slam full.

Im still waiting for the used car market to settle down back to older? norms been watching your channel for a while now, this is like trying to guess the housing bubble burst in 2005-2008. Its just annoying.

Brandon what is the name and location of your dealership? It's very hard to find a trustworthy used car dealer, but after watching your videos for the past year or so, you seem like someone who can be trusted. I've been looking here and there for a reasonably priced second car, maybe you've got something that could serve that purpose.

Hey Brandon I’m a big fan and have been watching you for awhile! For your priced inventory where do you like to advertise your inventory and get your leads? Just a new dealer trying to learn. Thanks!!!

Why can’t dealers simply lower the car and sell it for a loss to the public versus selling at auction that brings a reduce price that is lower than retail?

Be safe, careful and have a good weekend.😊👍🙏

Good morning. Good to see you again today.😊👍

I saw an awesome GM 3.5 in your inventory. Sadly, I'm in the UK!!! Your stock looks well chosen TBH

Normally a nice beater car like that would be right in the range for a college kid but unfortunately so many college kids think they are untitled to have a nice new car. Our kids were tickled pink to have a car that would get them around they didn’t care about the cost.

I don't know why I only like watching the first 5 minutes of your videos!!!

We owe 500 this year. Got 3k back last year.

The guy who is sick gonna come back to a lot of cars he has to fix

7 cars for $20k I just want to buy a car at an auction and not deal with nonsense at a dealership.

Our little neighborhood used car dealer. Just packed it in the sign is off the building and the cars are gone. The inventory was aged some had anniversaries already

It is all good you picked some great vehicles like you always do.😊👍

I wish you luck with your business Sir.

I'm putting my money into keeping my truck running good.i have a 12 year old Silverado and hopefully I will get 12 more.new vehicles are way overpriced.

Really good video, as judged by the large number of trolls trying to take it down.

Happy Friday Brandon 🌟☀️🌞🤩

Dealers are getting smacked😂🤣😂

You will stay ahead of the curve and it will be a profitable year for you.👍🙏

Those who need money - usually file early - those looking or in need for cars should be looking now

The car market is a very hard thing to make predictions on. You make it fun and entertaining,too!❤

Thanks for being a dealer with flat pricing 7:25-8:50 The $xx,995 pricing is annoying and screams "sleazy dealer"! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

There are dealers selling lightly used cars (I consider this cars still inside their warranty period) in my area for original MSRP. There is no difference in price or payment for used versus new, trying to force us to buy new cars but no one can afford those either.
