"The car is for 2k, I can only go down to 1.5k" that part made me crack up🤣 It's like they're making us decide if we want to give them the extra $500 lol
In my area that happens so often. Problem is it's usually still too high a price. Guy will say "cars for 5600 I can only go down to 5000" for a car that looks like it was rolled down a hill.
Honestly this is pretty much a great service to the public. Taking these sad depleted cars and giving them a new life while you make some nice money. You’re doing better work than those stealerships. Great video!
I’m a 71 year old grandma from Canada that was glued to this video to the end! Absolutely awesome! I’m going to share this video with others. Tons of great useful information.
Not gonna lie, Buddy, I never comment on anyone's videos. But I freakin love watching these car flip videos. I'm trying to learn about cars, and these are so thorough! Can't recommend your channel enough. Thank you so much!
As someone with an electrical background, I feel the need to tell you that you should never expect that replacing a blown fuse would fix the AC issue. Fuses are there for safety. They’re designed to fail so that bigger, more catastrophic system failures don’t occur. If a fuse is blown in a circuit and you just replace the fuse, you’re probably going to lose that fuse too. Keep this in mind when troubleshooting electrical systems in the future: a blown fuse is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
I don’t think I could ever do this kind of business due the amount of labor and tools needed to fix a car, but I genuinely appreciate getting to live vicariously through your videos as I still find this stuff super interesting. Thanks for the super well detailed videos! I bet these take a ton of time to edit
When you make TH-cam videos of your work, it then becomes passive income after your flip and then is well worth the time spent in your initial investment.. wish I could have a money stream YT account. Smh damn it
For someone that's a mechanic or someone who just works on cars and already has all the tools, it's just their own labor and time. The parts for Toyotas and Hondas are pretty cheap... And there's always the junk yard option of getting replacement parts if you don't mind pulling them yourself.
Most tools you buy once, and if you like working on cars, its a good match. To me this beats Corporate America, with some jackass manager micromanaging you all day long because someone above him is putting on the pressure.
Do what I do. Keep an eye open for tools at garage sales, etc. I see things and think, "Will I ever need this? Can I beat this price?" I recently bought a shovel model that I prefer. It was $5 at an estate sale. I had no need for it in Summer, but knew I would need another shovel in Winter or a year or so. I also buy quality used, rusty tools and soak them in Evaporust.😊
I liked the fast pace of this video. Easy to watch, easy to absorb. No, car flipping isn't for everyone, but with some good DIY skills and a fair amount of hustle, it can be done.
The ugly truth is that the main skill to flip anything is to be a good liar. The first thing a flipper is hiding is the very fact that he is a flipper, they pretend to be a regular owner (bought for personal use, not for reselling/flipping) of the thing they sell. All the fixes and repairs they do are just to fix the things that a buyer can see, nothing deeper than that. If they see someone selling something broken very cheap yet with a very simple fix (like a fuse) they will take advantage of that person and buy it at that super cheap price while the moral thing would be to reveal to the seller just how simple the fix is and thus not take advantage him. It goes on and on, but the point is that a flipper is just a vanilla scammer, there's a reason most states allow you to flip only 4 cars per year, but even there the flipper tries to skip title of the vehicle, as a scammer does
@Ljosi What a weird thought process. So are people who shop at garage sales supposed to tell the lady selling an antique lamp for .50 that it's really worth $3,000 and should not get rid of it? Cmon now. Here's .50! Have a good Day!
I'm not interested in flipping cars whatsoever, but this video had me glued to the screen. Really cool! I really wanted to see how it drove after all that work. A driver's perspective GoPro, as well as some outside drive-by shots, would've been awesome. Either way, great video!

I swear this content alone is breeding competition that'll give you a run for your money.. Very informative.. Not alot of shops where I am possess the level of mechanical intellect you have.
These videos are great! Recently picked up my first flip, an 04 Honda Accord with 223k miles on it. Wasn’t running, but owner was gonna scrap it. Managed to get it for $300! Clean Texas title fully loaded car. Replaced the starter and drove it home same day! Ended up replacing brake pads and some other things. Roughly $650 total invested, currently have it listed at 3k. I have 2 people coming tomorrow to look at it. These flips are 100% possible!

@@phantomgbeats1703 jep, I meant the flip videos. I usually just watch those since it is more general and easy to understand for me (I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to cars).
Ive learned so much in this video, so much detail, this is great, this guy did negotiations, research, fixed the car, as well as editing this video. Ive never seen such thorough work. This was super impressive. Definitely set a high bar for these videos.
The best way to flip substandard cars is with a gigantic spatula. For low heat turn it down. When you give it a shot of freon aim carefully. A private party has to be careful about lewd charges before showing their privates. To get a lot of leverage when negotiating use a really long pry bar. To cover a fading seal use a large walrus. On spraying the carpet black once you go black it is hard to go back. That car has been around the block too many times to give it so much love.
Hi from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Here we are all about doing what you show in your videos. So many junk cars, used cars, auction cars, etc. end up in Mexico and tens of thousands of them here in this city every year. There are car lots all over the city. Body shops left and right. Many cars stay here, others are just fixed here and are sold further south for a profit. I can relate to your videos and I enjoy your content. I don't personally do this for a living, but I do try and work on my car and do everything that I can do on my own. Thank god for youtube, its the best academy, its free and videos like yours help so much. God bless you, may you have luck always flipping more cars and I hope your channel blows up. I just subbed to you recently, but I've already watched a few of your flip videos. alright man, take care.

@@BuddysDIY Love the videos and I have a car I'm eyeing to buy. I was wondering what you think of the OBD bluetooth readers? I have one and it can be a pain to get it to connect sometimes, but once it does it seems to work well.

Cel there’s a lot of things you can pay some one to do, but if you’re out driving with your girlfriend, perhaps going interstate on a road trip or driving to a national park and get a flat tire along the way, and shrug your shoulders and tell her you don’t know how to change one, she won’t be impressed . Girls like a guy that can take care of the basic things himself..
@@Uddaaayyyy older cars here are a niche market, and transport authority is very strict, it's doable but just won't be as viable as in other countries, depends which state you move too though so you never know
Gotta say, as one who streamed for a couple years and knew folks who did the same and TH-cam at all levels - excellent production quality and stellar voiceover. Nice job man.
Great video on flipping a car. I love the math and analysis for parts and your time invested. What are the better videos on TH-cam. We love how you explain all of the financial details and profit analysis.
@@seanbarnes9021 Agreed, the indoctrination at such an early age into a one size fits all system has to have such profound results in us as a species crippled by archaic methodologies. ,...and we won't bust a grape to fix it either is pwnd
I love flipping anything and everything I can. Flipped a Pontiac vibe for 800$ profit. I know it’s not much but I used it for good 8 months. A few lawn mowers I picked for free, clean the carbs and sold for 80$ a pop ( I had about 6 of them), a civic I bought for 300$ and sold for 1800$ without doing anything to it be because it was 1993 I think hatchback manual which kids love to turn into race cars. Man I can go on. Just picked up a G35 2006 for 1000$ granted it needs engine but valve is around 6K, got a sequoia few weeks ago for 1500 with only 135K miles. Toyota guys should know what they are worth. It’s a 2001 4WD. FREEDOM IS PRICELESS
I’m about to start my apprenticeship first year soon and these videos help me a lot. I’m 19 but I was so stuck on what to do then I found your channel and honestly thank you so much for these videos. They made me understand more and made me realize how awesome and interesting automotive mechanics/technicians can be. Keep it up please ❤️
Haha these videos make it look easier than it is!! But it you get good enought then you can blow through and diagnose any issue!! 💪💪 Best of luck with everything man!
@@BuddysDIY Ofcourse!! If it was easy everyone would do it and it would be boring right?? I’ll for sure reach that level of understanding where I can diagnose any issues.
the flow and tone of the video kept me here for the whole 28 minutes... i don't even want to flip a car or need one.. just got so engaged by the way you presented everything.. well done mate!! all the best for the future!!
Man, I’d have no reservations about buying a car from you. And I LOVE the hourly breakdown. However, you’re much more knowledgeable than, so it would probably take me twice as long to flip at first … but still, half of what you made per hour on this one would still be awesome to me! Thank you!👍
This is an outstanding video! Well organized, detailed, helpful, and to the point. Buddy’s DIY accomplishes in under 30 minutes what some TH-camrs would take hours! 👍
Man I really like this series because you get to explain the process not all youtubers do like heavy on the mechanical portion and breaking down what is needed. I learned a lot from your caliper and rim restoration videos. Keep growing man you got it.!!!👍👏👍
I wish I knew how to work on my on vehicles I'd Make some money. That's me selling the damn truck for 2k and you fixing it up 21hrs of labor to profit $2350. Your the man bro
Aside from a couple of cherries I got lucky on, this is literally how every car goes, thought it was just me. I give you credit for making the videos on top of all the work it takes, at 44 I just don't have the juice like I did in my 30s, passed on some good deals recently cause I know what's up. Great content, you have integrity. The flip groups I used to be a part of had some real snakes flipping trash.
@@BuddysDIY thank god. Im 16 and i live in england, but next month im buying my first car and ive been looking at ur videos and ur advice has been so useful, thankyou so much, keep up the great work
@@jackhepworth4262 appreciate that little homie. Check out the how to inspect a car series on my channel. That will definitely shoe you what to look for before you buy!
Man this is really great. Even though i'm not living in the US. This could be implemented in my country as well. Keep it up! Greetings from Dominican Republic.
At 18 I decided I wanted to flip cars and get a lot to sell multiple at once and you came up and omg you coming through and helping and giving good advice I’ve been watching all your vids and rewatching them since like 8 this morning
i would love to see a story on how you started the flipping process, like what was your first flip? and how you were able to buy all the necessary equipment.
Great insight into how you flip vehicles. A ton of useful repair info combined with step by step expenses to give the viewer the full experience. Can't wait to check out your other vids. You sir, have gained a new sub. Keep up the awesome content.
Don't get mad about it just use it as a red flag to avoid being scammed like this guy was. There is no fricking way that 20 year old Toyota had only 188K and he knows it. Either he or seller changed out that odometer period end of story, there are plenty of clues. The big ones are the seat ware and Toyota's with only 188K don't leak oil, I don't care how old they are. This guy is a scammer!!!!!
I’m a high schooler and I think this is what I want to do for my future jobs I’ve always loved being around cars and just trying to fix and make things better. Thank you for making these videos and showing your processes
this video really inspired me. ive always been intimidated when it came to flipping cars but your confidence is contagious. i think i’m gonna take some money and try to flip!
you should keep doing videos like these. i cant believe i watched the whole thing because it was super interesting to see an old car getting restored. of course, anyone who wants to try flipping cars would definitely need car fixing skills to get into this
My brothers and I also do this for a living, my oldest brother is mainly a classic car salesman with the occasional modern day car sale. You did an awesome job, looks like a completely different car. Great video!
35 hours of edits for 2million views. Worth it. This dudes lovin life. I really love how he flipped the interior and I’m amazed a seat can get fixed for $40. Beautiful flip I’m jealous 😂 The way you made the dashboard of death resolve so seamlessly is incredible.
The previous owner never took care of the vehicle. You did a great job fixing all the little things. Good job breaking down the process and great editing skills.
Not sure if this was covered before, but how do you go about insuring the cars? You theoretically buy, fix, and sell a car roughly within 1 week. Do you put every single car you flip on the insurance for that week period then cancel? Any info on this would help. Thanks!
Nice content! The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing, this way you get to have your savings intact and then live comfortably of the revenue coming in from your investments.
Working with Romero pieto is the best thing that can happen to a beginner trader who is aspiring to be fruitful out of the market he is trustworthy and straightforward we surely need more men like him in trading world.
Mr Romero pieto trades on my behalf due to my tight schedules and he is indeed absolutely doing great, my last investment of $10,000 he gave me my ROI of $67,000 in a period of two weeks isn't that amazing.
First video I'm seeing of yours, and the 35hrs of editing shows. Great quality, organization, and presentation👍 I also appreciate your approach to the car flipping process, explaining thoughts & approach, and your thoroughness with repairs, 10/10 would buy a car from 😆 Easy choice to sub here. Kudos again and continued success in your flipping and YT pursuits. Cheers!
This is the first time I watched your video. I liked it pretty much all the way through. I like how you broke down everything and you were very detailed.
You are an absolute sleuth in the way you break down every thing, including as well: measuring the market, itemized budget lists, transaction process, time spent, and even pointers on how to go about setting this up for one's self through your own method of transparency. You are a real og, and this is how a professional should operate. This is inspiring in how I'll want to conduct my own business and its motivational asf as far as ethics man. God bless and keep hitting that success.
Great video! I haven't car flipped for years. The first thing I learned (which you're on top of) was to flip cars that people are crazy about. Mine was the 80s and 90s Toyota 4x4 mini trucks. It got really hard to find a used one because dealers were after them too.
Just to correct you, abs is actually called ‘anti-lock braking system’ which basically stops your wheels skidding when having to brake very hard so that you still have steering while braking very hard. 🙂
You deserve so many more subs. These videos are among the highest quality you can find on youtube. Id say you're up there with chrisfix and such. You definitely earned my sub!
Yea i'm like are you sure about that. Even I who's in high school and read car manuals for fun as a kid and I know that it stands for antilock braking system
This video randomly popped up on my TH-cam and don't regret watching it. Great video! Also a good hint at times for ripped seats is if they have seat covers.
Can we appreciate the fact that he spent only 21 hours fixing the car and a total 35 hours editing, Man dedicated to make a MasterClass to teach beginners on how job is done than flipping more cars! You deserves all the support man 💪
this guy is actually a really good person and is totally operating on a good faith basis. he had 0 incentive for replacing that wearing out tyre because 99% of the ppl dont even check on that stuff but he nevertheless replaced it, good on u man.
I remember I sold a a Toyota Highlander before. Bought it for like 1200 body damage in front and sold it for 5800. One of the best flips ever. Enjoy the videos
Love the vids but something I'm curious about is that in your cost analysis doesn't include tax, title/plate transfer, insurance even though you drive the car home - do you drive the car home without plates and title jump? or have a dealership license?
I've been a flipper myself, small time. There is a standing joke among veterans in my state, Virginia. We tell newly interested flippers that if they buy and sell enough cars in a year, they will have won the opportunity to get special insurance to make life easier. The reality is that their insurance gets audited. That info may not be the latest, but the point is that after a certain transaction volume, there is the possibility of the state requiring a dealer license.
You're awesome, and it totally puts the work I need to do on my car in perspective. Before this video I was definitely dreading the experiences i have been having with my car. Although my tool list has exponentially increased and it may be all I ever ask for during the holidays. I can't wait to get started tomorrow, and I want to thank you for all the expertise you impart 🙏
Don't forget to add if you sell more than a certain amount of cars, you need to obtain a dealers license. Also don't forget the license and registration as well for plates. Sales tax for selling the car depending on your state. Some states still require inspection and emissions.
"The car is for 2k, I can only go down to 1.5k" that part made me crack up🤣
It's like they're making us decide if we want to give them the extra $500 lol
Lol 😂 that’s true
I don’t get the jock
@@supportadvice1888 he means like if we had an option to pay 1.5k or 2k the obvious choice is 1.5k
In my area that happens so often. Problem is it's usually still too high a price. Guy will say "cars for 5600 I can only go down to 5000" for a car that looks like it was rolled down a hill.
they knew for sure it was more than just some free on, its like they felt bad trying to scam someone lmfao

Totally, I'd buy a flipped car from this guy. He identified and fixed all the major stuff pretty good.

Cel there’s a lot of things you can pay some one to do, but if you’re out driving with your girlfriend, perhaps going interstate on a road trip or driving to a national park and get a flat tire along the way, and shrug your shoulders and tell her you don’t know how to change one, she won’t be impressed . Girls like a guy that can take care of the basic things himself..
@@cel5207 If your driving a $1200 shitbox highlander you better know how to change a tire.
Dude just post as many flips as you can ill be doing this as well when ill go to Australia this is amazing
Yes sir more flip videos to come!
Bet a bit harder to do it in Australia, especially Sydney

This was how I made my first money as a young teenager in the mid-late 90's. Detailing and flipping cars. ;)
Gotta say, as one who streamed for a couple years and knew folks who did the same and TH-cam at all levels - excellent production quality and stellar voiceover. Nice job man.
I appre that man. This is my highest quality production flip video so far. Gonna keep trying to make them better and better!!
ABS stands for Anti-lock Brake System.
I’m trying to learn more about vehicles and this got me very interested. Definitely earned a new sub!
You def have to be comfortable fixing cars...
Great video on flipping a car. I love the math and analysis for parts and your time invested. What are the better videos on TH-cam. We love how you explain all of the financial details and profit analysis.
I would love to do this all day. Fixing up old cars to daily driver status. Only problem is I would like to keep them all.
Me too!
Buy ones that you would not want to keep
the hardest part i would think is finding a buyer after u fix it

I’m never going to flip a car but I watched this video all the way through lol. Badass video bro
9:27 “automatic braking system?” I could’ve sworn it stood for antilock braking system
He mispoke 😂
I was just thinking that 😂
🤣fax I was like this jawn a Tesla automatic breaking 🤔
Same, Im pretty sure it does
Is does. It was a 3am moment and I was just talking about diagnosing automatic braking systems in newer cars that same day 😂
I love flipping anything and everything I can. Flipped a Pontiac vibe for 800$ profit. I know it’s not much but I used it for good 8 months. A few lawn mowers I picked for free, clean the carbs and sold for 80$ a pop ( I had about 6 of them), a civic I bought for 300$ and sold for 1800$ without doing anything to it be because it was 1993 I think hatchback manual which kids love to turn into race cars. Man I can go on. Just picked up a G35 2006 for 1000$ granted it needs engine but valve is around 6K, got a sequoia few weeks ago for 1500 with only 135K miles. Toyota guys should know what they are worth. It’s a 2001 4WD.
FREEDOM IS PRICELESS
You helped my diagnose my lower control arm on the van with a different video. Thanks. Lots of tips and knowledge here.
I’m about to start my apprenticeship first year soon and these videos help me a lot. I’m 19 but I was so stuck on what to do then I found your channel and honestly thank you so much for these videos. They made me understand more and made me realize how awesome and interesting automotive mechanics/technicians can be. Keep it up please ❤️
Haha these videos make it look easier than it is!! But it you get good enought then you can blow through and diagnose any issue!! 💪💪 Best of luck with everything man!
@@BuddysDIY Ofcourse!! If it was easy everyone would do it and it would be boring right?? I’ll for sure reach that level of understanding where I can diagnose any issues.
the flow and tone of the video kept me here for the whole 28 minutes... i don't even want to flip a car or need one.. just got so engaged by the way you presented everything.. well done mate!! all the best for the future!!
Man, I’d have no reservations about buying a car from you. And I LOVE the hourly breakdown. However, you’re much more knowledgeable than, so it would probably take me twice as long to flip at first … but still, half of what you made per hour on this one would still be awesome to me! Thank you!👍
Absolutely brother I'm glad you found the video Inspiring!
I love how you just lay it out in plain english. The best step by step I have ever seen. Congrats on the new sub!
This is an outstanding video! Well organized, detailed, helpful, and to the point. Buddy’s DIY accomplishes in under 30 minutes what some TH-camrs would take hours! 👍
U must add up the time to meet the seller and buyer. And driving it back But great job
Man I really like this series because you get to explain the process not all youtubers do like heavy on the mechanical portion and breaking down what is needed. I learned a lot from your caliper and rim restoration videos. Keep growing man you got it.!!!👍👏👍
Appreciate that brother. New episode next week!
I wish I knew how to work on my on vehicles I'd Make some money. That's me selling the damn truck for 2k and you fixing it up 21hrs of labor to profit $2350. Your the man bro
Apprentice support man. I do my best
Aside from a couple of cherries I got lucky on, this is literally how every car goes, thought it was just me. I give you credit for making the videos on top of all the work it takes, at 44 I just don't have the juice like I did in my 30s, passed on some good deals recently cause I know what's up. Great content, you have integrity. The flip groups I used to be a part of had some real snakes flipping trash.
YES! People don’t understand that offering a number over phone or text is just awful. Be there and check out the car before making an offer.
I love the length, finally i have been waiting for episode 4. This has brought me so much joy, please continue this series🙌💛
The series is not stopping anytime soon!

At 18 I decided I wanted to flip cars and get a lot to sell multiple at once and you came up and omg you coming through and helping and giving good advice I’ve been watching all your vids and rewatching them since like 8 this morning
He should have a stand up set after hearing. “15 year old candy , a few pound of laundry detergent,and very some Jamaican rum”21:14🤣🤣
i would love to see a story on how you started the flipping process, like what was your first flip? and how you were able to buy all the necessary equipment.
I think it's how you come off that makes these videos so entertaining to watch. Straight to the point, no fuss. Thorough thoughts and articulation.
Appreciate that man 🙏
You are very good at diagnosis and repair. I think you earned every cent of what you sold it for! Well done!
9:26 ABS stands for anti-lock brake system.

You should also add in the cost of the title transfer, that would be a plus
Unless he didn't
@@royalsaini8812 That's a pretty serious offense. The DMV/State Police don't like people committing fraud to operate as an unlicensed car dealer.

Great insight into how you flip vehicles. A ton of useful repair info combined with step by step expenses to give the viewer the full experience. Can't wait to check out your other vids. You sir, have gained a new sub. Keep up the awesome content.
You are now my favorite youtuber! I have watched all the flipping cars videos. Keep up the good work!
The raw anger I have when people have the shortest descriptions and single-picture post. This vid was very interesting.
Nah I'd be like "You chose to be ignored then didn't you" 😂
Don't get mad about it just use it as a red flag to avoid being scammed like this guy was. There is no fricking way that 20 year old Toyota had only 188K and he knows it. Either he or seller changed out that odometer period end of story, there are plenty of clues. The big ones are the seat ware and Toyota's with only 188K don't leak oil, I don't care how old they are.
This guy is a scammer!!!!!
Any single pic ad is almost always a scam...
I’m a high schooler and I think this is what I want to do for my future jobs I’ve always loved being around cars and just trying to fix and make things better. Thank you for making these videos and showing your processes
this video really inspired me. ive always been intimidated when it came to flipping cars but your confidence is contagious. i think i’m gonna take some money and try to flip!
I’ve been thinking the same thing, actually!!
how's it going bro?
you should keep doing videos like these. i cant believe i watched the whole thing because it was super interesting to see an old car getting restored. of course, anyone who wants to try flipping cars would definitely need car fixing skills to get into this
My brothers and I also do this for a living, my oldest brother is mainly a classic car salesman with the occasional modern day car sale. You did an awesome job, looks like a completely different car. Great video!
Really good video, except 9:25 ABS is "Anti-lock Braking system" and not "Automatic Breaking system" as you mentioned.
35 hours of edits for 2million views. Worth it. This dudes lovin life. I really love how he flipped the interior and I’m amazed a seat can get fixed for $40. Beautiful flip I’m jealous 😂
The way you made the dashboard of death resolve so seamlessly is incredible.
The previous owner never took care of the vehicle. You did a great job fixing all the little things. Good job breaking down the process and great editing skills.
Not sure if this was covered before, but how do you go about insuring the cars? You theoretically buy, fix, and sell a car roughly within 1 week. Do you put every single car you flip on the insurance for that week period then cancel? Any info on this would help. Thanks!

Easy choice to sub here. Kudos again and continued success in your flipping and YT pursuits.
Cheers!
This is the first time I watched your video. I liked it pretty much all the way through.
I like how you broke down everything and you were very detailed.
Good video bro but just a heads up ABS stands for “Anti-lock Braking System” not Automatic Braking System
Lol yes I know. It was a 3am moment doing the voiceover 😂
You are an absolute sleuth in the way you break down every thing, including as well: measuring the market, itemized budget lists, transaction process, time spent, and even pointers on how to go about setting this up for one's self through your own method of transparency. You are a real og, and this is how a professional should operate. This is inspiring in how I'll want to conduct my own business and its motivational asf as far as ethics man. God bless and keep hitting that success.
Very detailed, well explained and edited video man! Keep them up.
Thank you brother!!
I do the business of bike resale and now I m thinking to start the car business and your videos really helps me thank you so much
Damn i didn’t even realize this video was almost half an hour video. Keep up the work. Great editing btw. Hope you do a tutorial on editing as well.
Facts
Great video! I haven't car flipped for years. The first thing I learned (which you're on top of) was to flip cars that people are crazy about. Mine was the 80s and 90s Toyota 4x4 mini trucks. It got really hard to find a used one because dealers were after them too.
Just to correct you, abs is actually called ‘anti-lock braking system’ which basically stops your wheels skidding when having to brake very hard so that you still have steering while braking very hard. 🙂
lol, I think this guy is well aware of what ABS stands for, but thanks!
@@morebetter9836 he said it was "automatic braking system"
@@morebetter9836 yeah he said automatic breaking system but thanks for your two cents.
This is just the best. These segments videos are just very simple and what i like is that everyone can relate because of common cars.
You deserve so many more subs. These videos are among the highest quality you can find on youtube. Id say you're up there with chrisfix and such. You definitely earned my sub!
Thank you my friend!! :)
7:50 "i noticed something weird" me thinking hes talking about the coke bag XD
Lmao!! Same
I'm dead 🤣
ABS stands for antilock braking system, not automatic braking system.
Never knew until now
Yea i'm like are you sure about that. Even I who's in high school and read car manuals for fun as a kid and I know that it stands for antilock braking system
It was a 3am moment for me. I know what it stands for 🤣
@@BuddysDIY It happens 😂 did these people really thought you are clueless about what u saying 💀
Idk Brotato. In my videos I explain how to diagnose and fix almost every system in a car and they think I don't know what abs stands for. Oh well 😂
This video randomly popped up on my TH-cam and don't regret watching it. Great video! Also a good hint at times for ripped seats is if they have seat covers.
Can we appreciate the fact that he spent only 21 hours fixing the car and a total 35 hours editing, Man dedicated to make a MasterClass to teach beginners on how job is done than flipping more cars!
You deserves all the support man 💪
Hey Buddy ! really apreciate all of the effort you pun inside of your videos, hope you will continue to have fun with your buisness !
Didn't the type need any alignments considering that one side tire was wear down ?
this guy is actually a really good person and is totally operating on a good faith basis. he had 0 incentive for replacing that wearing out tyre because 99% of the ppl dont even check on that stuff but he nevertheless replaced it, good on u man.
I remember I sold a a Toyota Highlander before. Bought it for like 1200 body damage in front and sold it for 5800. One of the best flips ever. Enjoy the videos
Love the vids but something I'm curious about is that in your cost analysis doesn't include tax, title/plate transfer, insurance even though you drive the car home - do you drive the car home without plates and title jump? or have a dealership license?
Exactly what I was thinking. All that runs me an extra $500+ depending on sale price lol
Wondering the same
I think I remember his saying he owns a dealership license in one of his vids and doesn’t have to worry about that
I've been a flipper myself, small time. There is a standing joke among veterans in my state, Virginia.
We tell newly interested flippers that if they buy and sell enough cars in a year, they will have won the opportunity to get special insurance to make life easier. The reality is that their insurance gets audited.
That info may not be the latest, but the point is that after a certain transaction volume, there is the possibility of the state requiring a dealer license.
ABS stands for antilock braking system, not automatic. What ABS does is it gradually applies the brakes so they don't lock up and you don't slide.
Lol through me off also. I was like😳. But video was entertaining👍🏼
Great video! the fact that you keep all the expenses and do it so pragmatically makes this interestingz
You're awesome, and it totally puts the work I need to do on my car in perspective. Before this video I was definitely dreading the experiences i have been having with my car. Although my tool list has exponentially increased and it may be all I ever ask for during the holidays. I can't wait to get started tomorrow, and I want to thank you for all the expertise you impart 🙏
Never forgett to include your own time you spend on it when calculating cost :D
Don't forget to add if you sell more than a certain amount of cars, you need to obtain a dealers license. Also don't forget the license and registration as well for plates. Sales tax for selling the car depending on your state. Some states still require inspection and emissions.
It's all fantasy. You can make more money learning to place tiny ads in thousands of newspaper classifieds.
