Exactly right! Great video!!!

Just purchased a 1999 Toyota Celica 5 speed manual convertible from my Mom’s neighbor who is 80 years old. The car has been parked in his garage for 18 years. He always ran it and keep the maintenance. I paid $300 for it because he said he has no use for it since he can’t drive anymore. I have never been happier. Car just easily passed smog . This is absolutely the luckiest deal for me.

One thing about not seeing cars being traded in is dealer greed. An example is myself, I have a hellcat charger widebody. I was curious into trading it in. Was offered between 55-70K for it. Yet there’s similar hellcats being sold for 100k+ So my car is only worth 55 in their eyes, But the same car they’ll go ahead and ask 100K for. greed is ruining everything. And I’m all up for it. About time big dealers pay for scamming countless people

People just don’t want to pay 80k for a brand new car

I had a loaner Pacifica for 3 weeks while my car was at the body shop reversing the effects of low flying deer. It was a very nice vehicle to drive - very comfortable, and an awesome road tripper.

In my country in northern Europe the new car market is at a standstill. The only money there is to be made is with used cars. A buddy of mine works at a dealership. They do not send off vars anymore, the only profit is selling used. He thinks it is a combination of bad economy and the fact most new cars in the European dealerships are full electric, while the demand for EVs is down. People are not willing to go electric basically

Since you were curious about why a rental would have tint, I’ll give my thoughts since I work with rentals. We do get the occasional car that someone rented for a long time and decided to get tint for whatever reason, that’s not very common. What I would guess is that a rental car company bought that truck used, and that’s why it has tint. Since the chip shortage being an issue, rental companies couldn’t get brand new vehicles at the rate they used to, so they are forced to buy used cars

Can’t believe you said a dodge ram with 90k miles is just getting broken in it’s probably about due for a transmission

The 2.7 is a very capable motor. I pull a 27ft enclosed aluminum trailer, in the snow hauling 5 sleds and it doesn’t skip a beat. My 2017 has a towing capacity of 7800 lbs with a 3.55 axle…

I'm going to tell you something about that fender my brother rented a car didn't put the insurance on it it got hit while I was parked in front of his house his mom stepmother took it to a friend to repair it the repairs would have been at least $5,000 her friend it for a couple of hundred dollars they cannot match up the rental car paint a little bit lighter the original so I told my brother take it when is a little bit dark back to the rental place he did and he fooled them they took the car back and never noticed I could notice if the sun was hitting it but he got out of that mess

Yeah Randy there definitely is something going on in the car market right now. New car prices have gone up an average around 40% since 2018. I used to buy new cars all the time I haven’t bought a new car since 2018 between cars not being available dealer markup and the price increases from the manufacture. I’m out of the car market plus I’m a car guy I’m not a truck or SUV guy and everybody’s slowly getting rid of selling cars.

Pushing EV, but no one wants the EV.

It's not surprising when the average car note exceeded 500.00 per month. Factor in all the extra fluff dealers roll into the loan further inflating the price, and the fact the average consumer has no idea how simple interest works. Usually taking the longest term for the lowest payment. Which further inflates the total cost of the vehicle. It's a pineapple grenade ready to blow up in your face. When you finance a vehicle, and the loan term exceeds the warranty term of the vehicle, you are looking at potential repair costs out of pocket as well. So factor that into your expenses as well. I mean you might as well walk around with shackles. Then you have consumers who trade in the vehicle for a newer one, and essentially push the reset button on their interest and loan term. It's nasty stuff.

Thanks for your videos they help me understand when I buy cars keep it up and stay safe enjoy your day and be careful

I dont know now but around 2022 when my lease ended and swapped my Audi, the used price was doing so well that most dealers were just reselling used cars (and I'm pointing to new car dealerships right here, manufacturer dealers not second hand exclusive.) I had a incident with that Audi where the passenger door was busted, beyond just a "door ding". I expected a huge quota to repair it but the sales guy straight up told me, if I return this car earlier than my lease date to them and lease off a new car, they'll fix up, not bill me for the repair and pay off the remaining 3 months for free with no early return penalty. That is one hell of a deal for me since I'm always leasing a car. I later found out why that made sense for them since the sales guy told me when I later went in to buy cargo mats for my newly leased car, the old leased car which was MSRP 49k sold for 43k after 2.5 years of me driving it for 20k miles and hitting a pole with it. So if that logic is still in place, I can see why the dealers wouldn't auction off any remotely new cars.

You could probably find a wrecked parts truck at copart or iaa with the donor parts you need for the fleet truck.

Vary awesome collection indeed. I'm loving it. Keep up the great work.

Another great video! I know leasing isn’t for everyone but it works for me. I have two older vehicles for my daily and one new vehicle for road trips. Leasing works for the new one since I average maybe 5-6k annually on it. That said, I don’t know how but I got another great lease from my dealer in north NJ. A 2024 Atlas CS SEL, all possible options with low down payment and very comfortable monthly payment. The crazy part was seeing the used car prices. Wow

Don't apologize for doing videos on trucks that is what most people love to see there's a reason that automakers are not making cars anymore

Radio upgrade is easy. Did it myself on my 250. I ordered a oem navigation radio from eBay. Comes as a kit. Simple install. The seller programs the unit to work with your vin number. It’s all plug and play. Also installed the console too. Also the remote start can be ordered online and it’s practically plug and play. Little bit of forscan programming but that’s simple. Don’t go to a dealer. Best mods I’ve done on mine.

I'm local to OKC. I've had David Stanley, Post Oak, and Hudiburg all calling, texting, and sending letters to me asking to buy back vehicles I bought from them years ago. I don't own any of them anymore. Got rid of my payments in April of 2021 and couldn't be happier. Sold my 2015 BMW 328d and 2019 Jeep Cherokee for more than I owed thanks to COVID prices. Now have a 2005 Accord V6, 2007 Acura MXD, and a 2011 Chevy Malibu. Paid around $7,500 for all three combined and have no payments. Was paying $1,600/month in payments and insurance. Now paying $281/month for full coverage on all three. I do miss having nicer cars and the fuel economy in the BMW, but freeing up $1,300/month is absolutely worth it.

I have a 2020 ranger the keyfob didn't have remote start but I put the Ford pass app on my phone and start it with that might be worth a try and the app is free

I have been watching the channel on here called Epic Economist and they have been warning everyone of the car market crash among other things like the stock market and the housing bubble about to pop for months now. Not counting the cost of food and gas they cover everything. That channel is well worth the watch they don't sugar coat anything they tell it how it is.

Almost to 400k subs!! Love your videos brotha.

Crashing just like the -16% mtd on my portfolio. Best president ever...

With the strike, it’ll be so interesting to see what happens to how you bud and etc. this is a very interesting time! Keep it up randy!

I would LOVE to see a police caprice PPV on the channel! Those things are awesome! 6.0 LSX V-8 (That makes more than 500 hp), 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift on the steering wheel, 4-wheel disc brakes (2017 model).

That guys is very reliable on what he says I watch him and he is solid on information!!!

The plug in 1% means it’ll run on gas but the battery needs recharging

I just recently bought a 2019 Malibu LT, for only 6400, because it was a repossession

I just like you , agree when I see people who leave windows down , doors open , hoods and trunks up that people should be more respective when they are at somebody’s house . I would close all of them if I were out there . Why let things get damaged more ?

Alot of REPOs at my auction too Randy

nobody still around from then but there was a time when the car was replacing the horse and buggy and people were saying “we don’t want these newfangled contraptions”. (by the way, I’m no EV fan either but the day of the internal combustion engine IS coming to an end sometime in the future, like it or not).

Randy thanks for looking at a pacifica. On vacation my family drove one 2500 miles it got 28 mpg. It was very comfortable to drive.

I always take the plastic engine cover off, and hang it on the garage wall. When I sell the vehicle I put it back on.

They stopped putting the engine cover on the 2.7 in 2018 or 19

I do like your work truck. Absolutely kicking ass Randy. Love your videos. That grey one isn’t bad. Those minivans are nice but probably too much. Wow too bad I’m not in the market for a truck looks like some nice ones. I hear you Randy give me buttons.

Randy the larger Sync screen may not work in your truck use to the computer APIM not program to operate that screen But there is always that Guy that break the code lol😅

The interest rates are so dang high that most folks cannot afford a car. The payments are atrocious. My last brand new car (2018 model) was financed at 2.8% with my bank. I was interested in getting a new car a few months ago and my interest rate would have been about 7.2% and my credit rating is still just as good as was back in 2018. So if my interest rate has jumped and I have perfect credit then imagine the interest rate and payments that somebody with 600 credit score would have. I will just keep my current car and wait it out. This is why I question all those analysts that say the auto strike will cause massive issues to the economy. I doubt it as nobody can afford a car right now so it is doubtful that the big three not being able to make a few thousand more vehicles that nobody can afford anyway is going to damage the economy. Keep up the good videos!!!

Hello Sir, I live in Texas and I’m interested in getting a newer pickup. How can I look at all those trucks coming up for sale?

maybe they should of used the money for payments instead of spending it on weed on that challenger

I drive Uber fulltime and absolutely love the Pacifica S Hydride.. need to get one of them from that action, currently driving a Tesla model 3

Good morning Randy. 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Touring is a good looking car. The White Chrysler Pacifica is a good looking car. I don't know if you've heard Randy but the UAW is on STRIKE.

I’m a Ford truck and van owner for many years now. I rented a new F150 (Echoboost,, 10 speed) four years back just to try it out. Very nice driving truck, but way too much to break. I will hang on to my rust free low mileage 00 F250 diesel. It’s noisy, has limited features and gets lousy mileage compared to the new ones, but it runs and drives perfectly every time I turn the key. I always enjoy seeing the vehicles you look at.

It's super easy to upgrade the screen in the f150. It's plug and play and it takes around 30 mins give or take. I upgraded the screen in my edge it was also very simple and easy to do. I ordered the screen for around 600$ maybe a little bit more from simply michigan.

Dude panicked because it's missing the plastic cover..that got deleted anyways during the covid parts shortages

I Love watching your videos your the best you teach me good things bout cars

In Alberta avis and other companies brought sometimes extra things done to vehicles like tinted windows stripes they say sometimes rents like the extra cool look and we use to sell them for them most of the time and also was better for us to sell as well

I’m a regular visitor on this channel. Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.

I have the pa ifica for a vacation rental, the gas only version and it's getting 17mpg with seven loaded up , its fully loaded and even has a built in hoover next the rear row of seats,very handy for chips dropped by the grandkids.

400k soon Randyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉

My Cousin rented an enterprise vehicle and the windows were like a 5% tint ,I thought that was strange too.

The radio i Up grade from 4 to 8 inch radio upgrade can be done. It's sold on e Bay. Your looking at the conversion harness, a pm, the radio modular are about 1200 plus the cost of face plate 400

14:26 Those white Fords that are barely used might be the same as here where students are hired for the summer by city parks and roads services to maintain grass, flower beds etc using trucks like those to travel from one work site to the next and transport their equipment.

No way for a ev for a uber car. By the time they get to the airport (as long as its not to far) you will have to charge it for a hour or so and lose money. Stay away from the evs. Nobody works on them other than the dealership also

To me GMC is a nicer truck. I would love to see more of those. Either way i love the channel

That Cadillac has some issues.👍

That CTS is a Vsport which has the LF3 TTV6 engine making 420hp/430tq. 2014 was the first model year for that one. Looks pretty beat up though.

Hey Randy you are not old by any means now I on the other hand am old I have kids older than you my youngest daughter is your age LOL but my oldest daughter is 54 years old and I am 76 years old and I will be 77 in November and this year it's on Thanksgiving day so now we no longer think that you are old period love your videos very much Charlie kretschmar Phoenix Arizona

sup randy big fan bro been watching you since a hot min

I'm curious how these repossessions work, does the bank keep the 2nd key or do they tow it and get a key from the dealer.. Surely that would be too much of a hassle for them🤔..

There sure is a lot of cars there that smell like weed on the inside!!!

Auction I worked at the wiper up meant a dead battery.

I am not sure how big of a company they are but if you have an expert electronics by you they are good. Very nice customer service. My husband and I have their basic remote start on both of our vehicles and they were pretty good priced. $400 cash but if you use a card you will have to pay the sales tax

that 2.7 is a better motor overall than the 3.5 No inherent issues with it vs the cam/timing issues with the 3.5. that 2.7 will also tow close to 10k

Not only the car market. Its worldwide economics

I have a neon green 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and its been bulletproof. Love the little jeep to death not a single issue

I’d like to see these vehicles you’re looking at ,filmed going through the auction and what you bid and what they sell for. New subscriber. Kindest regards

I work second 2nd shift love these videos

To answer if you could upgrade the smaller screen for a larger one The answer is yes ,,I did junkyard bezel screen. and APIM upgrade mod from a Chicago Tech for 450 send in Vin number upgraded to the 3.5 program on my 2016 XLT . pricey but the nav which I also did not have was added stays upgraded from my home wifi Im quite happy,

The greed and loose money always pays off 2-3 years later with a slide into recession. The ones that suffer are usually not the ones that got fat from the greed.

The upgraded monitor and the small one connectors are different behind the dash..you would have to get the rewire kit to the ECM...

hey can u show the mini cooper thank you for all ur hard work randy love ur channel

They’re selling those dealer trades now. I used to work at a dealer and I know the game but I turned in a little Malibu I had a few years ago and I thought for sure it would go to auction but I found it a few weeks later on the used car lot. It was in good shape but not normally what you’d see on the lot.

I work at the Honda dealer here in Texas, I am a used car technician, so I get all trade ins, dealer deals, etc etc. when I first started; if a car needed 10+ hours of work it would get whole sale, sold as is, etc but these last few weeks It seems like it doesn’t matter how much work it needs they just have me fix it, good for me I get the job security but makes you think why they want 10+ hours of work done on a car that is 6-15k retail and the dealer will tac all expenses time etc etc to the retail price it’s not just what they have on mechanics labor.

Great video Randy!

Yes sir there is a lot of repos because the payments are too high and the APR's are hight too!!! And the new market is crashing.

If you buy the kit to upgrade the radio they pre program it for you

How much do you think the Chrysler Pacifica hybrid would sell at from the auction?

yes programming and if you have Nav you will need the antenna hookup

@auto yes you can but u must find the surrounding that matches all of your options or at least most. The bracket that holds it in should be fine to bolt up the new screen but if nit you will need the bracket. So bracket possible and surrounding plastic

Randy, I’m commenting from experience with Holden/Chev entertainment systems, and may have no bearing on both ford and their theft protection systems for entertainment units, but the entertainment units here are locked to vehicle by VIN number, in to the ECU. That said, they are reprogrammable. Sad seeing so many Repos too, economy would be suffering 😔

How hard is it to replace the engine cover?

What happened to your Vessi shoes. You haven't had them on in the last few videos?

Randy I’ve watched every video you have done for years please do a uk edition and see what we have got to deal with love your content

Programming is required for the radio you need forscan

Good to see you sir.😊 Your looking a little tired.

Here in the panhandle of Florida dealers have a lot of new and used, but they are still expensive as all get out.

How do you inquire about those fleet trucks

I was wondering if anyone can buy these cars or trucks, even if they are not a dealer or have a dealer business license? Also is audesa or copart auctions only for dealers?

What's up with the Tacoma early in the vid have you checked one out?

How do you get the prices for the vehicles that you bought? I am in Florida and the prices here are very high.

Did you make a video on the Raptor?

Please do the numbers video for us. I'd like to know how you gauge the current car market.

The white f150 you said you treat drove in this you can buy for tailgate and put the tool boxes from your 18 in it and sell it then you have tailgate

You are the second person I have seen who wonders why the Jeep rear view is in the middle of the windshield.

I think, but I'm not sure that if the washer blade is up like then the car doesn't start????

2:26, The first truck, I wonder if it belonged to the owner of the rental car company, that’s why it was modified, but your truck may need an Engine, since it has the Coyote Tech.

That pacifica the first one was actually pretty nice the second wasn't to bad to be honest

I know people who used to rent cars and trucks for months at a time and they used to tint all the windows.
