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.

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.

@@ticenits1926 I suppose that if that is what he was doing, that information would get out and the business would fail. There are millions of cars that have plenty of life in them but little demand because they are older, less stylish cars. Maybe the paint is faded or have a couple of dents or scratches. 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. He deserves that and more for the hassle of shopping the auctions, changing the registration, preparing and selling the 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.

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!

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.

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)

Picked up a couple sedans to flip recently (mechanic by trade) cleaned them up nice, minor mechanical repairs to make them safe and legal and posted them. It was like pulling teeth to get $3k for clean title smogged cars ready to go. Can't imagine doing it regularly.

It can be. I do the same thing in my area. 3 to 5 cars a year. I try to make $500, $1500 if I'm doing heavy line repairs. 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.

MORE POWER TO YOU! Dealer here with 25 years of experience. I've tried all different business models over the years. BHPH, Special Finance, highline and the Cheap/Cash junk like you sell now. You almost have to shift with the economy actually and keep pace with demand. However, I'm shocked that you can find these cars cheap enough in your area to sell them under 5k. In my area....no dice! They're pushing 200k+ mileage cars through lanes with bad engines and transmissions and still demanding several K's for them. Volume is key in your market.....BUT, what I've found when I did this business model is that the recon costs were significantly higher and time consuming....so I shifted to mid-range cars. WE ALL KNOW.....that no matter HOW CHEAP a junker is.....customers believe they should all be PERFECT and ISSUE fREE and LAST FOREVER regardless of price....LOL. These entitled dreamers are all looking for that HOLY GRAIL car with Low miles, NO issues, ONE OWNER, New Tires and Clean Carfax.....and one that NEVER breaks down or it's YOUR FAULT...lol!!! Customers in NC must be a special breed different than my clients....If the mileage starts with the number "2"....they walk away on my lot. You must be selling super high mileage cars with tons of issues....hidden or not! I know cars and build custom cars on the side and there is NO such thing as a Good, Cheap car. Period. Overall...glad to hear someone is making it right now....business is tough and customers love to see dealers fail for some, smooth-brain reason!!! Good Luck!

Also you’re not just posting prices on cars, but you’re not posting XX99 prices, that seems little but you remove that slight disappointment we all get on a 2nd read when you realize the price is actually in the next hundred or thousand. Really cool and respectful move.

I am a retired independent used car dealer. I tried selling cheap cars but hardly anyone ever had the cash for even a $2,000. dollar car . I would have to allow the buyers to make payments to me . They usually paid ; because I was fair and the cars lasted they usually paid but it was very difficult to justify all the effort and overhead to find vehicles , get the car ready to sell , sell it , collect the payments, pay the sales tax and DMV fees and repeating the process .and be able to realize enough profit to make it worthwhile. If people become educated about cars and maintenance they can buy cars from private parties that need some work and then get it repaired at a mechanic shop that you are familiar with. Independent auto repair shops often have a car that they bought, repaired and are now selling.

High volume low margin sales seem stressful, but you seem like you're making it easier for people who may just be starting out or have lost everything and they are starting to rebuild. Major props for that. Good luck in your endeavours.

If you can pick up a car for under a grand at auction, pay $500 in fees, have the ability to put a $500-$1000 rebuilt transmission or do a quick head gasket change, or maybe change an ignition coil and some plugs… then turn around and flip the car for a quick $1000-$2000 profit… that can be the ticket!
