The economy is still moving, the problem is the cost of living is too high, who cares if you make 100,000 if just your basic living expenses are 98,000, And thats what we are living in
So true, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results” - Albert Einstein”. Make no sense, but that’s me.
In spite of the rust, it is a cool and usable truck, and you paid maybe 3x its scrap metal value! It has a designer label (somebody will want it), and it runs!
As a car dealer u know about cars. But ur customers are the opposite of you. What you would never buy is what they want. Learned that on those small deawoo cars their cheap. And look like shit have nothing you want, bit people went crazy about them. Coz cheap only old people had those so even with age they had low milage and looked like new.
So many haters in this comment section. Not really sure why. The vast majority of you are poor, thats a given. You just throw hate around for no reason. Hes a good guy, earning a living and sharing it with us. Keep the negative out of here.
You are missing the point! He's supposed to be a car dealer. Knowledgeable and smart when buying cars, but time and time again, he buys junk shit boxes! It's nothing personal about him. He seems like a great guy, but professionally he's terrible!
@@joegreenbbka I understand he made profit. For regular people that's great, but it's not $800 profit. He had to spend for gas to get it back. He had to probably pay someone to give it a quick cleaning He has overhead for his lot and employees. $800 profit doesn't stretch that far. Usually dealers put whats called a pack in every car. That money goes on top of the price of the car. Usually about $500-$1000 and that covers overhead. Realistically he broke even
@djdirect8416 He said he didn't clean it, didn't want to put any money in it. It sat there for 2 days, and I'm sure he used some gas here in there, but then sold it. Obviously we have differing opinions, but, I believe he still made some money on it. Which I'm sure was kind of a bonus to him considering right after he bought it, he didn't think he'd make anything.
wrap the KIA then sell? The color is for sure polarizing..... just a thought. Good luck LOL. Oh yeah, congrats on your plans to move to FLA. Cheers from Texas.
I would've bought the f150 for $1500 if I seen it at the auction. Throw a timing set in it with oem parts for about a grand with new water and oil pump, and prob be driving it for years to come. 5.4 have a false/bad reputation. It's a people issue not a vehicle issue. Any F150 sells for good money where I'm at. And it's a 4wd?? Man, $2800, what a steal.. I could fix it and prob get $6500 quick for it. Being patient I'd prob get $8500 or more. Easy flip or easy cheap driver.
Back in my dealership days, Rouch, Saleen, and a few others tried to sell our owners on to their garbage. Didn't happen. They promised that they would honor the warranty, and Ford would back them up. Didn't work out like that. Claims got bounced, Ford denied assistance, and the customers were stuck in the middle.
Stage 1=no supercharger/just cosmetic. I bought one of these off ACV (identical but nice from Carolina) w/ 120k miles a couple months ago. Retailed it to a happy customer from $14,900. You were on the right track though!
Great video Craig well presented with lots of humor thrown in for good measure. Keep your content coming pal, To all those critics commenting on here just go and get a life FFS.
To my knowledge, the Roush stage one is just cosmetics. You don’t get the supercharger until stage 3. Also with that amount of body rust I’d be worried about the frame as well. A good body shop could repair/replace those rusty body panels but at some point it would not be profitable to restore it. On the other hand, trucks are still massively expensive and if the rust was repaired, one with only 160k miles might be worth something.
What happened with the cars you bought at the FL auction a few weeks ago? I thought you were going to put the update in the video but I never saw the results. Did I miss them?
@@FlyingWheels Thanks for letting us know. My son's YT channel (PJ's Radical Playz) has about 527K subs so if you're ever in SWFL, zip me a message and maybe we can collaborate on something.
Dude, I love your podcast. I've been a fan for a long while I've been a business owner for a very long time. Jewelry shop a real jewelry anyway I really admire people who have the balls to go to work for themselves and put an honest days worth of work not only that you provide for your beautiful family and you're blessed in so many ways, God bless America brother
Good job Brother….we have all been there and done that. Love the content, like you said any running and driving pickup truck is worth 4K to the right individual
Food for thought. It doesn't hurt to have a couple budget vehicles on your lot. Some of us can't afford nor want fancy vehicles. But if we know you are decent and we can trust what we buy from you we can make a ton of word of mouth sales for you. If you know what i mean.
I'm more interested in how sales and auctions are going. Every used car dealer on RT6 southern mass is full up on cars and trucks. It looks like the market is slowing down. My question is if you could answer is the market slowing down to a more normal market or are used car sales beginning to move into a more recessionary temperature. What are you seeing in NH?
Craig, have you not noticed that Kia and Hyundai's are having a hard time getting insured right now. I thought that I heard that 2012-2018 vehicles were made without anti-theft, which is allowing them get stolen all over the place, thus rising the cost of getting them insured, if a company will insure them at all. Why would anyone buy a vehicle that they either can not get insured, or have to pay three times the average price to get insured, only to maybe have it stolen. Not sure that you are going to get any money back on that one my guy. Good luck.
The rust over the fenders in the box aren't because of New England, it's because Ford put a chunk of foam inside those fenders that trap water and hold it there eating the steel from the inside. I bought one, pulled the foam out and it was sopping wet. We hadn't had rain in a month.
They do make replacement wheel arches for the bed but the question is. is it worth paying to have someone weld them in and fade the paint on the bed? maybe maybe not.
The market is realistic again for most vehicles I have found. But with the hike in interest rates an $80k loan is the same repayment as a 100k loan was a year or 2 ago.
There seems to be a lot of "Roush stuff" on and in it not to be a real Roush. Is it possible they swapped in a standard 5.4 because the supercharged original was blown? Is it at all possible that the original Roush wheels were either ruined by the road salt or even sold and replaced with stock F150 wheels?
Worst case it's a plow truck for someone, was worth the gamble. Curious if NH is doing the new inspection sticker process that Massachusetts started several years ago
I wouldlove to have gotten that truck. But I'm someone who can indeed fix the rust. Wish I had the money to buy it from ya. Would make for a good youtube series of me restoring it.
The Wholesale Market in the Midwest is still overvalued for some reason. I see a lot of cheaper vehicles from Ohio to Ni.C. but the transport cost is crazy.high.
Craig, I got pissed off about rust also, I have a buddy that got his 98 Silverado sprayed every year, it has 127000 kms in Canada and there is not an ounce of rust, had it on the hoist and the frame is perfect. I got my Denali done and out hybrid so hopefully no more rust
Sometimes it’s fun just to take a chance it’s kinda like gambling. Besides usually anything under three grand can be sold, and it is a cool truck Even if it is a rush bucket lol
You closing your lot down in NH or do you plan to keep that business up there and start another one in Florida? You probably answered that already but I haven't had much TH-cam time lately!
Thats a great first truck for any teen. bang it, scratch it, spill stuff in it. haul kayaks or a trailer around... has all the rubber matts. fix what you want to fix... 4x4 too.... just dont live in NH and need a sticker... ill bet that truck is in Maine now...
Craig, I have been watching your videos for a long time and they are great........most of the time. The past few months I have noticed a change in you. I'm no doctor, but man, I think you need a therapist!
when you have a ride that is 15 yrs old you no longer have to pass emissions in Massachusetts. But you must have a working check engine light that is not lite.
It’s so weird that you guys have vehicle inspections out there? We only have that if it’s a salvage title or rebuilt title I can’t remember here in Wisconsin.
14:30 car market has crashed up here too. Lots are overflowing with inventory, prices are outrageous, and no one is buying. I'm in the market for a canyon, want a canyon? there's 1000 for sale all overpriced of course. Dealer up here wanted $27K cash for a 10 yr old one, or $25K finance. Me: I was born at night but not LAST night. A dealer had a 10 yr old one with 90K kms, $25K. I offered them $21K and my truck, never heard back. Only reason I did it over email is he's 2 hrs away. Not going to drive all that way if he's not going to move on the price. Hell there are so many overpriced sierras you can swing a dead cat without hitting one.

I owned an 07 F150 Harley Davidson Edition. Had a Saleen Supercharger, 5.4L - 450HP. The truck had a nice whine and terrific acceleration
Thanks Craig for telling us the good, the bad & the ugly. I appreciate your vulnerability. You express openly what most people probably don't share.
Doing something over and over again same way and expecting a different result is a the definition of insanity.
I’m not sure if he expects a different result anymore 😂
I love how you address this topic with such honesty.
Craig I bought an 86 Samurai this week. I blame your influence as you are my spirit animal :P
Green???? That’s clearly YELLOW!
In spite of the rust, it is a cool and usable truck, and you paid maybe 3x its scrap metal value! It has a designer label (somebody will want it), and it runs!
Except it wasn’t a real roush edition….
Craig you need to go to automobile anonymous.
He won't quit until he's broke, and leaves his family with absolutely nothing!
That is a great line.
The definition of insanity, is repeating the same action over and over, expecting a different result each time......
I think that's stupidity
Dude you had it sold in the past but didn’t want to take a 1k lost because you were stubborn and now your still paying for it

Bro how could not tell its was a regular f150 🥴🥴🥴
Serves you right Craig. You know better.....
Craig what happen to the video at the mecom auction with the hummer an the Mercedes
Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
Will it pass inspection. You have to remove the cab to repair the engine. It's better to replace the engine if your going to drive it and keep it.
Back in my dealership days, Rouch, Saleen, and a few others tried to sell our owners on to their garbage. Didn't happen.
They promised that they would honor the warranty, and Ford would back them up. Didn't work out like that. Claims got bounced, Ford denied assistance, and the customers were stuck in the middle.
That truck is a pile of shit
😂
This guy is crazy saying that it’s worth 3500 wouldn’t want it even if it was free
Nailed it
It was a pile of Sheet when Roush installed all the Cake Decorator stuff on it, to make it a "Roush". Now, it just ready for the scrap yard !
any truck with the 5.4L is a pile of shit. I have 1.
The word you were searching for in the beginning is "insanity".

Good trucks besides the cam phaser issues.
