How To Not Lose Money on Turo - Warning to Turo Hosts
Turo is a great platform for renting your personal car out, or to build a small car rental business. In this video, I'm sharing some of my blunders in my first 2 years of business on Turo, some simple mistakes that I could have avoided, and hopefully how to save yourself some money making mistakes on Turo.
This video is focused more on the luxury car rental side of Turo and what issues I've run into renting a luxury car on Turo while generating close to $20,000 in rental income.
I am based in the Los Angeles area and this is definitely a unique market with the amount of interest in tourism, vacations, and work rentals. If you are looking to build a business renting cars, check out this series of videos for some ideas on how to make money and protect yourself on Turo.

Carmax Trade in - What's the BMW i8 worth in the current market?
มุมมอง 5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I'm back with a new video after heading to Carmax to appraise the Frozen Black BMW i8. This car has been a fun project, repainting it a few times to get it perfect, and fixing every little imperfection. Now with the BMW warranty expired and the car passing the 40k miles mark, it's seeming like time to separate with the i8. Currently I am looking at Carvana, BMW, Tesla, and a few other places as...
DO NOT BUY the new 2021 BMW 430i!!

In 2021 when BMW released images of the new front end they were using on the 3 series and 4 series cars this year, car enthusiast were very polarized. Fast forward, it's almost 2022, and we've had some time to sit with the design and decide how it is.

BMW i3s vs i3 ( Ultimate City Car Showdown )
มุมมอง 3.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We finally got a chance to review the BMW i3s. As most of you guys who watch the channel know I am a huge BMW i3 fan. BMW decided the last i3 could use a little more sport and dropped us a newer, sportier version. Styling is changed slightly, a wider wheelbase, different tires, lower suspension, and a little more power are updates for the new i3s. First impressions of this car were that the S s...

The fender isn't awful to people who don't know that area was painted, but for me its really noticeable.

    Omg, you confirmed all my thoughts exactly!! 2 days ago as I was shopping online, I suddenly found myself on the market for a "newer".. a 2022 or 2021 4 series and was thinking the 430i was the right price point. But I couldn't get over how Toyota-like it looked from the side. Plain Jane boring lines from the sides .. and then that ridiculous grille.. jeez (to be fair, I've been shopping for aftermarket options to switch-up that grille business, but then that's not cheap either lol). I mean, just look up the "ADRO BMW Grille". Did that iteration really not strike anyone's brain at the bmw design studio? Really?? Regular Joe designers can make the beautiful ADRO grille, but Chris Bangle Butt and all these others here now.. this is all they can come up with? I came over to YT and this was the first 430i video that drew my attention. You hit EVERY nail on the head. And yeah, ever since the first time I saw the size of the bezels on the screen on a 2016 X1, It became my biggest pet-peeve .. like C'MON BMW, are you being serious right now?! I guess they just don't have any pride anymore.. or even shame for that matter. Anyway, thanks for the concise and honest reporting. Great vid

    Sorry if your buying it for the brand the non kidney grille will never make it, just as much as an outdated color on a new model. I have to visually like what I see. I'm sure it performs just fine, but if I don't like it, I don't like it.

    Really useful review Ray. I’ve owned 20 BMWs and apart from a 740i Sport Individual, I bought them all second hand and avoided a huge amount of deprecation over 40 years of driving. Im going to buy an i3 later this year when a lot of lease deals come to fruition as I’d like 42kwh model without the REX (a petrol engine disqualifies cars in many ways) but with a sunroof and all the kut you mentioned plus a heat pump. Hope to get a three year old one for £16,000 ($20k). Subbed Cheers Geoff (UK)

    I went to Sizzler and ordered a steak and it was actually pretty good. But every time I go to Mastro's steakhouse in Beverly Hills and order their Wagyu rib eye steak, it's always much bigger, and better tasting than the Sizzler's steak. So that makes the Sizzler steak trash! When I want to eat a steak, I want it to be the best steak I can buy and not worry about how much it's going to cost me. Yeah, I know some people might really like Sizzler steaks, and even thought it's actually a good steak for the price for most people who can't afford to go go Mastro's, the Sizzler steak compared to Mastro's steak, is still trash! I'll never understand why people just can't afford to pay and extra $30+K for a Mastro's Wagyu rib eye and have to settle for a trash Sizzler steak instead (even though after I actually ate the Sizzler steak I thought it was actually pretty good)?

    I have bad news for you you better brush up on BMW history. The BMW 430 M sport package is incredibly agile and although it won't set an acceleration record it's certainly respectable. 300 foot pounds of torque at 1500 RPMs incredible. Early 1970's 2002 put them on the map with almost no horsepower. I truly appreciate a somewhat affordable car that has looks and performance that doesn't break the bank. The majority of people don't have 100k for a M model or 70k plus for a m440. I think it's a fantastic car at its price point.

    If another person is at fault for hitting your car, you can request for their insurance to pay damages in lost wages, as well as the damages to your car. Just had my car rear-ended on a trip and my car was down hard for 3 months. So, file for damages and request damages in lost wages for the time your car was gone (it’s best to wait until you know when you are getting your car back for sure). If the insurance company doesn’t respond to your request, send them a demand letter from an attorney. This is not legal advice, just letting you know what worked for me. Also, they (the insurance company) asked me for at least 90 days of my previous earnings.
