@@wugodi7186 Yeah the bids usually start low. For example if I do a pre bid on a car, my starting bid is usually $150, even if my max bid is like $2,000. That way I can get a better deal, usually.
I love my 2017 CMax energy for my around the city commutes. I average 800 to 1000 miles between fill ups. Sync 3 started in 2017 which allows Waze on the Navi, if equipped.
Get the AT&T Focus. I had an 06 and sold it w/ 260k and it ran great w/ 260k even. The best years are 08-11 and 05-07. These cars are money, they're like buying a Toyota or Honda, really. It's easily worth 2500 cleaned up. And that's not a base car, it's an SE.
That noise on the Ford is the transmission my mom has one same year transmission started making that noise and started shifting hard now it’s getting replaced
@@ccross1210 yeah my mom said her car started shifting hard then the next day that noise started. That one at copart is a lot louder but it sounded the same
I would love to see you pick up the Focus and Taurus, Randy. Repaint the the Focus back white, maybe tint the windows and sell it. With the Taurus, replace and paint, if needed the fender, polish the rest of the car out and sell it. I love both Tauruses and Foci because they're pretty simple cars, not a lot of things to go wrong and are great simple commuter cars.
C-Max, top five of the 500 cars I ever owned. 125 on the clock, 60 MPG, and best for me, lots of leg room because they are tall. EXCELLENT cars. I would give $2,000 sight unseen for that CMax. (BTW: The engines last for ever because they only run about 2/3 the time they accumulate miles. There is a chassis battery in the back that needs changed. It is separate from the hybrid battery pack. Yes, it is a CVT trans, complex! The drive and hybrid charge are all in the trans.
I love the little Focus. My late wife had one from new and In 2009 it was our wedding car and the one we took up the White Mountains (NH) on our road-trip honeymoon. This was an all-new model for the NA market only and whilst not as solid as the 1998-2004 Euro Focus it replaced, it was a much more modern looking and driving car. This one looks to have been well taken care of. The price is probably fair given the mileage, but I wouldn't be so worried about that given it's a fleet vehicle.
Honestly The AT&T Focus and Taurus are great cars. I would personally get either the Focus or the Taurus or even both. They both seem like they run great no problems which is awesome. I'd love to see both of those on the channel.
Driven a lot of those Taurus, had two of them with the 24v Duratec 3.0 - love that engine. I would get that fender repaired and painted, buff the rest of it - done.
The at&t focus looks really solid. If it doesn't go for much id jump on it. If I were to flip it i think I'd spend a tiny bit extra and replace the trunk lid with one that doesn't have that funky circle flap in it. The Taurus may be a score too. My mom had a forest green 98. She never had any problems with it. They're very reliable cars!
I live in alaska and dream about going to a auto auction. I have seen you find some real nice way older cars... those are the ones I would love to own. I'm seventy three so anything including those more doors.... all good rigs
The Truck... theft recovery ---- Tack strip popped all 4 tires... kept going on cement till ran out of speed.. those rims have the scratches to tell the story
Hey Randy, on the Ford Taurus, check out the driver side wheel. It almost looks like it is bent, passenger side was straight, driver side was not. Could be a allusion where the fender is bent though.
The Focus I'd drive, good cars, especially since this was an AT&T car, so it was serviced. For sure I'd drive that Taurus, this one is an SE comfort, identified by the console shifter, 24 valve V6, auto climate control, and aluminum wheels. Thanks for the video, Randy.
randy you do realize on those chevy trucks the rack bolt up to a cross brace for the frame ya goof ya dont replace the whole frame just the cross brace which is 300 bucks idk definitely some great cars this week randy
Pick up that Taurus Randy! I had 3 Sables and they were great cars! My 2001 Sable Wagon was a Duratec with 220k on it and was the longest I've ever owned a car (a little over 7.5 years). They sell quick too.
Randy, thanks for another great vid! I would say the Focus and Taurus would be great flip cars. The Focus if you could get ir under a grand; the Taurus for up to 💲500, especially now that you can flip them on IAA. Glad to hear about the new house MUCH closer to Copart and the parts stores. I think it would make for good content to bring us along as you fix up the bigger garage, kinda along the lines of what WatchJRGo is doing with his warehouse (only on a smaller scale). I think a lot of us would enjoy that👏🏻
The 19 silverado is a custom trim which means base model. Lt model and up come with push button and way more technology also no longer make 6.0 it is now a 6.2 with 420hp the 5.3 has 355hp
that ATT Ford Focus would be a good quick flip car and would be a good car to put back on the road.. Amazing video as always also the Ford Taurus the 98 one would be a good one too to bid on
I have an ‘09 focus that’s almost identical to that! It’s been great to me as my first car for work and college! That focus is definitely a steal, depending on the price
You can buy a Hail Damage repair kit on amazon at a really good price with a bit of patience you can knock those hail dings out and make it look like nothing happen on the Ford Hybrid
Please don't pass up on the '98 Taurus! It's a beautiful 90's survivor. I'd be comfortable at $600-$800 max for resale. The sad reality is, a 90's Taurus isn't desirable or collectible to the mainstream. Personally, I would bid $1,000. Find a matching fender send her to the Auto Spa. Afterwards, I'd rock steady that car everyday with 90's Weather Channel music playing just for nostalgia!
Bummed you had the issues with the C-Max. I’ve had mine for 5 years and have put 120k miles on it. It’s been a great car and I love how roomy it is for how small the car’s footprint. It’s a great car if you ever see another!
That whining noise on the Ford C-Max is from the power steering fluids being low or the pump is going out. Great video Randy, always great to watch these. I was really interested in seeing that Lincoln MKX next to the Mercedes you were looking at. Haha.
I know you said you don’t really want it, but I would love to see that blue Ford Taurus on the channel. I guarantee that the Autospa LLC could make that car look brand new. Hopefully it goes cheap for you
The cmax has a transmission issue 100% certain, for I have a 2013 that had the same problem till the transmission went out. I heard in theory that if you are in a carb compliant state it would be covered under warranty till 150,000 miles, but haven't been able to confirm it. Mine has a 168,000 miles on it . Apparently it's a known problem for 2013 to 2014 models. I now have a 2017 energi with a lot less miles and a extended warranty.
The Mercedes c230 doesn't start anymore because the oil cap has a hole in it and all the oil came out. And maybe it says it runs because when it came in it ran but when people came to look at the car and started it all the oil came out through the cap and one person probably looked it up
Spikes strips in a chase then he kept going wrecked when his tires went flat. My brother is a cop has shown me many chase videos where they keep going then wreck.
I would definitely be all over that Focus. I’ve got me a little truck now and I would like a good little car like that for commuting. Of course, I would hope it would stay cheap, but I’d bid up to $1k or so if I were using it for myself.
That truck hit something hard....probably went of some sort of incline. The drivers head hit the window upon impact and the tires blew, rims busted and set off all the bags. As far as frame swaps I watched a theft ring take a body off the frame and put a new on under a hour. So there's that....
I would go up to $550 on focus and $350 on the Taurus , Is the Chevy truck electric steering? There’s a plug hanging out from steering rack area under the truck, I would go $5k I don’t think it’s as bad as you think but until the plastic cover under the truck we won’t know, Wouldn’t touch the C class, keep up with the great videos Randy and I hope everything goes well with the move.
That Ford Taurus is a good one. Personally, I would bid up to $750 on it. I’d probably go up to $900 on the AT&T Ford Focus.
Do they start off at like 100 ? And then go up ?
@@wugodi7186 Yeah the bids usually start low. For example if I do a pre bid on a car, my starting bid is usually $150, even if my max bid is like $2,000. That way I can get a better deal, usually.
The Ford Taurus in my opinion was the best car out of all the cars that you showed us.
I second that!
Get the Taurus detail it pop the dent out of the fender and send it to IAA for a quick flip
I love the AT&T cars!!! That poor Mercedes C230! I hope all is well Brother!
Don’t forget “I missed that in the pictures”
And Don’t Buy Anything Sight Unseen
Don't forget that it is gm very lame,a ridiculous weak frame & can't pass a safety test mostly it's the weak frame thats a concern
The 2019 chevy was most likely spike strips and then he lost control and hit a median or something; also the drivers side door was peeled backwards

Focus looks like a good one .I own a 2001 .Great little car .My max bid on it would be 1200
Ford Taurus - will never be forgotten in the history of American cars . It is THE American CAR. It is an icon. Please get it if you can Randy. :)
That Taraus will drive for ever. My mom had the same year at over 150000 miles and my 2006 had 140000 miles when I traded it in.
My friends has one he put over 300k miles on it. And it still runs just the hood has sun damage.
That noise on the Ford is the transmission my mom has one same year transmission started making that noise and started shifting hard now it’s getting replaced
Taught me something. I too don't know much of the CMAX but my thought was maybe the alternator was bad from failing bearings.. Nice!
@@ccross1210 yeah my mom said her car started shifting hard then the next day that noise started. That one at copart is a lot louder but it sounded the same
Had the focus model those transmissions are absolutely terrible. Focus lasted 3 months after I got it and tranny completely failed.

I had a 1997 ford Taurus. I love it. It was really good in snow.
I had an 05 C240. Had the same issue with the headliner coming off the sunroof and I re-did it. Also had a broken driver door handle. Fixed both.
C-Max, top five of the 500 cars I ever owned. 125 on the clock, 60 MPG, and best for me, lots of leg room because they are tall. EXCELLENT cars. I would give $2,000 sight unseen for that CMax.

The ford taurus In that year and other years the key fob wont work when the car is running..I had a 1998 Taurus and it was the same "issue"
The ford taurus looks great wouldn't be a bad car for the channel
I love ford c max unfortunately no hybrid in UK ! Bought one 2013 c max 3 year ago still got it and love it right size for me cos I’m 6”7 lol.

That body style of C230 is one of my favorite cars for a normal car pretty sporty, reliable and fun!
Both the Taurus and Focus seem like decent runners for the right price.
that ford focus would make a great flip car it definatly worth it for the right price

Wow randy I can't believe the newer cars and truck didn't sound as good as the ford Taurus great video mate keep it going
Taurus fender is a simple repair,,, Nice car,,, My wifes dad had one,, was a nice car,,,,
I owned a 2000 Taurus. Awesome car, you could have fun and sell quick that car

The BOSS radio in the Benz tells you the whole story
Buy that Taurus if it’s a good deal!
You nailed it again it has a special I CVT transmission
There you are in short sleeve shirt and I'm sitting in eastern Iowa with a blizzard going on. Not fair.
My friend has had like 4 Taurus with over 300k on them
Mr. Randy !!! It's great to watch your videos every day on this channel ... it's like morning coffee with jazz music 💟😂all my love and support🌷

I’m in Australia and guys your all are so lucky
Your cars are amazing
You can buy a Hail Damage repair kit on amazon at a really good price with a bit of patience you can knock those hail dings out and make it look like nothing happen on the Ford Hybrid

My brothers X did the same thing with his truck. She was drunk and swerved from one curb to the other curb taking out all tires and rims.
Would love to see you get the Taurus.......those DOHC motors are sweet.
Spike strips for that 2019 silverado
That cmax if cheap enough, would be great to send to dealer for a diagnosis.

Hi Randy, Hope you are doing great.
I need to find a car like that focus up here in Michigan.
Randy get the Taurus and I'll buy it from you I'll travel out there sending love and respect from Boston 💯💖💙🙏🙏
Ohhhh upon further research it’s the ac compressor when running and in park quotes down while in reverse the forums said ac compressor
The shirts should say "I LOVE THESE CARS!" with the avatar and ur fav. car as of yet. Your 3rd most said phrase
That whining noise on the Ford C-Max is from the power steering fluids being low or the pump is going out. Great video Randy, always great to watch these. I was really interested in seeing that Lincoln MKX next to the Mercedes you were looking at. Haha.
Randy review that blue Honda odyssey at 22:36! It looked to be in excellent condition and those vans don't ever die!
Just made my day once again with another copart walk around
Randy buy the AT&T Ford Focus. 300 bucks is a great deal. The car is in excellent shape.
randy, the altenater will wine real loud until the battery is fully charged. lon from ohio
That Ford Taurus is a good one buy it sale it back again... its good one clean...
"dead as a doornail". That never gets old! lol
I think you got a deal on the Z4. $4500 would have been my max.
Sounds like the Cmax has a bad transmission pump. I had a Honda Accord that had the exact same noise/ problem.
Good to see you Randy 😊
On that first car I'm thinking a spike strip did that btw you and tk are the best.

I’m not too excited about a 98 Taurus but she does look like a decent car
remember the taurus HO with the yamaha engine?
Hey randy.. I can't find the merchandise link. Could you please provide us with it😁
That Taurus is in pretty good shape.
