Update: The Sierra was relisted 2/16 and the Lexus sold 2/16.

The best way to protect yourself is to see if you can get a Scott built vehicle. You just have to be fast enough to win. I’d buy any vehicle site unseen that Scott’s repaired. Have a great weekend everybody!

I find these series very interesting and informative. You should keep doing them

C'mon Scott,it's not Jaguar or Jagwire.It's JAAAAAAG.

Came to the realization that I am obsessed with my job because all I (binge) watch are these videos, autobody painting videos, and collision repair videos. Collision repair is so interesting to me, it’s like being a detective for cars lol

It's sad the auctions don't ban these sellers. And bidding on your own car? Most sites call this shill bidding and they ban those sellers.

Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed scam week. I am a licensed rebuilder and learned early on (the hard way) about the pitfalls in purchasing IAAI or Copart vehicles with unknown sellers. Thankfully, I did not deal with vehicles in the price ranges that you are in so my losses were relatively easy to chalk up to "a lesson learned". As a result, I don't buy anything that doesn't have a seller listed UNLESS it's at a true bargain basement price. I usually try to vet each vehicle I'm interested in well in advance including looking at it's auction history and thoroughly examining the current auction pictures for "clues". I hope that folks watching this weeks videos have learned enough to recognize some of the warning signs of scammers who prey on the uninformed.

IF someone corrects you on how to say Jaguar the best reply is "ok it's Jaguar for the Jag >that you< are." Usually gets them to shut up most of the time... and when it doesn't, they usually go into total meltdown. Both results are satisfying.

Thanks for the great week of auction cars, Scott! I do find these interesting. I also enjoy all of your rebuilds - even the Mustang so many people don’t like.

Really enjoyed this education series , looking forward to some more as well as your builds ,

That Sierra probably has a blown transmision...the infamous 8 speed...lol.

Great, well crafted set of videos. Very informative. Thanks.

These are great! I would absolutely take a Midweek madness upload showing bids from the car shown the prior Wednesday and a new car going up this week. I would watch the crap out of that.

A great community service! Thank you.

I wonder if the GMC is a Florida flood survivor... barely. Hmm. Or some other damage that's not readily visible. Thanks again.

Thanks, Scott, for these videos! They're very cool! I might consider that Sierra, since I'm not particularly picky about body dings, but I'm betting that's been bouncing around for some other significant issue, rather than just small dents and a broken windshield. Wonder if it's a flood car & comes with all the associated electrical gremlins? -R

The best channel on this crappy platform 👏

That RDX, someone is going to get a rude awakening.

Legally speaking, it's likely that you aren't doing anything illegal by showing these scams, so you're probably unlikely to get a cease and desist letter. But if you do, it won't stop you anyway. The more publicity these scammers get, the better. They might end up giving up trying to scam people.

Thank you Scott for putting all this work into trying to educate the people that do not know much about how these scam sellers work. Luckily for me I have about 20 years into the auto body world and know what to look for. Even though I am 54 years old I still learn lot from your videos. It just goes to show old dogs CAN and do LEARN new tricks. But I still really appreciate all the work you have done.

Scam week is the best development of your channel!

I have a 2015 Denali Duramax. I have 178,000 miles on it. I know that it has issues with the CP4 pump with lack of lubricity. So since I purchased it I've been adding Stanadyne Lubricity improver to every tank of fuel. Now I know you know better, but the 2015 5.3 is not an LS, but an LT!. I am aware of the Lifter issues with the AFM. I have a 2014 L83 that is in my 37 Chev PU. I had the Cylinder deactivation removed from the program so I am hoping that it will not fail me.

Every time I’m in Florida and drive on the Interstate, these trucks pass me with a loaded trailer on back doing 90mph or so 180K of this probably do wonders for the powertrain

Keep scam-week going. Thanks for doing this.

Great series Scott. Thanks for the inside peek and education. I'm now a better buyer.

The AFM is the reason why the Sierra is not selling. It's a miracle that it even made it to 180k.

Good job Scott

This was a great theme week well done

That "Jagwire" thing had me cracked up. Wonder what they'd think of "junk" which is what I consider a Jagwire?

Great series keep em coming 👍

I will be waiting for more.

I love these videos!

Love these videos💪🏻🔥

Great series! Thanks for the videos!

I am liking this 'doctored-up' series of videos. Seeing how much these cars were re-sold for is an added bonus

Thank you teacher.

Kool videos Scott.

5:27 we have an auction near me North Toronto Auction. That's what they do, circle and photograph every little ding dent or smudge. Top notch ppl.

Excellent video, keep it up

Enjoyed the series. Good work.

Thanks for the education

Thanks for the video Scott.

Great week

Thank you for your info and educating people.

This was awesome thank you very much

I LOVE this series! Thanks, Scott!!

Outstanding content sir, thank you! 👍👍

Enjoyed it, thank you

Once again Thanks for #5.

Nice work that was very informative !

@vehcor I hope you have a great weekend!

Very important to know this information, thank you for your time !

Thanks for this series. It was very interesting and educational!

The problem is there are not enough builders like Scott.

Awesome video

This was fun. Hope to see auction week again. 👍👍👍

good week thanks looking forward to another theme week

Thank you

I loved this series, very informative and educational on what to look for at an auction. Thanks.

Well done info we all need to know

loved it, very interesting detective work

great segment scot

Love these Video's, Keep it up !

This series is interesting and educational. 👍

Keep these videos coming!

Thank you for opening eyes, if it's to good to be true , think about it. It probably is !

This is great! Thank you! This confirms that I never want to buy without seeing it in person.

We just say Jag in the UK, absolutely entertaining young man, just shows how scammers take the piss but even more worrying is the auction companies do nothing to stop it. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Even Mr. Spotty wouldn't bid on these.

Very interesting, thank you for your efforts.

Nice run of posts Scott really enjoyed showing us what to watch out for even though it might have been fixed

Enjoyed this series, but most of all, your humor!

*Thank you* for these educational videos Scott and I wish you all the best trying to acquire the _Cecil Desist_ letter. I look forward to it being proudly displayed and cooked on the grill. 👍

Brilliant

JAGWIRE! 🤣👍 JAGWIRE!!

Love this series…..

❤ this series 👍🎉

This has been a good week. Hopefully you have a great weekend & the pizza girl actually brings you a pizza. After all you did work hard on this. Just don't let the supervisor know, because he'd want his cut.

GREAT VIDEO MAN, THANKS FOR INFORMING US ABOUT THOSE GUYS AT THOSE AUCTION PLACES, I WILL HAVE MY EYES WIDE OPEN FROM NOW ON, LOL.

My first "Scam Week". Thanks, Scott.

Can`t wait for the next one

Helps with purchasing. Although makes me even more apprehensive.

thank you

Great content, I like the new series of scam auction cars !

I’m wondering if your favorite sellers are some of the ones I worked for. The car lots I worked for in MD would buy these cars all over the place then bring them back and we had a cheap mechanic piece them back together. Then if they were good enough, they would be buy here, pay here cars or back through the auction.. learned a lot working for them.

I'd gamble 5k on the Sierra for myself. Out of Florida no rust. Do a dod delete and use my parents out of state address with lax emissions. Fix the dents here and there as I drive it.

Wow! this is dope👍👍

You're awesome 👌 😊👍💯🇺🇸

That was a good miniseries and well worth showing. Just goes to show what goes on in the dark and dirty back streets and how, with a little research, what you are getting into. Think you are going to get hit with a "cease and desist" order quite soon though.

Just noticed your sound got better over the year

Scam Week takes weekends off? Scammers don't! 🤣

Looking forward to the new wall ornament

Please keep it up

Thanks for the informative videos! I enjoyed them and learned some things. You certainly need to know the game before getting into the game. Thanks Scott

KZfaq really loaded your video with commercials 😮. Great video

This series made my week, it was awesome! Now if you could only stop saying "you guys" I wouldn't have to unsubscribe. 🤣

Be interesting to see if any of these cars end up on Arthur Tussiks channel. By the way Scott you Americans do pronounce’Jaguar’ correctly, it’s us Brits that got it wrong!

I am a sniper at auctions too. If you bid early, you're just bidding against yourself if there is someone else in the race.

I loved scam week it was great and I hope they hate you for it because I love you for it

I would buy this Sierra and just drive it like it is. Its fine for a work truck.
