Next video: Here's everything broken on the bank repossessed Maserati Levante
The following week: here's why the Car Wizard now can dive into a room full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck
th-cam.com/video/FCHSNxvnURg/w-d-xo.html Finally its here
And the week after that, it's on a rack in his garage dripping all kinds of fluids known to car...
At least he has a lot of experience with this particular vehicle.
th-cam.com/video/69ZWWM0N4Ew/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=CarWizard
Followed by it immediately breaking down due to some half assed butchery which Car Wizard blames on Magic Mike or Daniel san
"can dive into a room full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck"... That bit ain't gonna happen, the poor man has at least one daughter! ;)
"Trident". If you are from the south you call that a fog-gigging fork. The engine looks like 103K miles with oil changes at standard interval with some warm up idling and cold and hot weather remote starting. The long oil intervals are great for parts sales and service department profits.
notices oil's never been changed....proceeds to bounce it off the rev limiter....drops 30 grand just to make fun of the Wizard's Maserati...love it!
I like Hoovies Chanel, he buys neglected cars, and brings value back to them!
Thank you for the warn air flo edumacation details of a Maseraghetti
Love the Levante but i hate the base-mid range wheels, alwasy thought they looked to small
Hoovie looking like he reppin the crips lol
Ours had a 87k Meroe that we got for 65k new as a holdover. It was a good one to drive
Usually the smell of cat-pee comes for free. But Hoovie knows the price of it when it comes wrapped in a 'Chelsea Tractor' (UK) or 'Toorak Tractor' (Australia).
Straight of Gibraltar comment was very Jeremy Clarkson.
I always suspected it, but today I learned that Hoovie actually just hates money.
Sweet wind💨💨💨
Seriously, if the audience didn't know him so well, we'd SWEAR he was doing it on purpose...
If you can get a clean one under $40k I don’t know if this was really a bargain for $30k… If the engine works out I guess it is but if it ended up needing a new engine that would easily exceed the price of a good one.
The look of pride on Tyler's face after bragging about only spending "over 30,000" is why I keep coming back.
And why I only come sporadicly.
@@lightning95sc wow congratulations
He came a long way. 30 grand was a lot of money for him back in 2016 when he got the NSX.
30,000 is still 15000 too much for this trashed out dog.
@@lightning95sc That's what she said
As someone who repossessed cars for a bank back in the day, you got off easy with this one. Getting those repos back to our storage lot was some of the hairiest experiences I ever had. We carried a “survival kit” with fluids, fuses, a jack, lugs, fix-a-flat, duct tape, flashlight and so forth. Just to get from point A to point B. We had to inventory everything in the car and bag it to give back to the customer. Some of those cars were worse than crime scenes. I told both my kids, never buy a repo or a former rental car.
Hoovie: “everyone is now wanting big ol’ family mover SUV’s but I loveeee wagons and land yachts!!”
Also Hoovie: * buys all the luxury SUV’s *
I wonder if he did it for the views
I want to see Tyler buy a Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in the worst condition he can find next. I think that could be a fun project.
I'm from Spain, and I have to say Levante wind is actually very nice and great for windsurfing 😂
I like how the engine has a ton of sludge but he revs it like crazy and then his tire pressure is super low and then proceeds to show how well it still handles.
Are you new here?
@@djncrti2860 No. And it's why I love the channel!
hes just the best! he really doesnt care and just enjoys his hoopties!!
Got to give it the old Italian tune up to clean the gunk out.
And that's why we come here to "the dumbest automotive channel in all of youtube".
Those lower oil spots could’ve just been from revving and hard acceleration during the drive, while having the oil fill cap on loosely. May not even need any turbo seals. You scored a decent “warm wind”!
The notification for this video popped up right as i was walking in front of the Neptune's fountain in Bologna from which the Maserati logo is taken 😱
Ayo thats sickk
Get a selfie and send it to Hoovie, you'll probably get some merch or some shit.
Whoa that truly is a sign not to be ignored
@@SAIFSWORLDFUN i'm a student at the Bologna University, but i'm not from the city and neither residing there, i just go sometimes to follow some classes in person.

That's a Dodge Durango Tyler.
Dash, touch screen, wheel is different but still Dodge and a lot of tid bits I noticed.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Hoovie thinking weed smells like cat pee tells me a lot of things I already knew about Hoovie.
💀💀💀
Twas looking for this comment
It always smells like a dead skunk doused in PineSol, wrapped in a plastic sheet, and set on fire.
@@franciscodanconia4324 🤣🤣
Pole cat😏
It blew my mind that you floored it with a sludgey engine. If there’s anything you can do that would likely result in the engine blowing, it was that lol. Brave or dumb, maybe both haha.
I'd go get that thing deep cleaned. Specially if it smells like "cat urine". Not to scare you or anything, and not saying this is the case, but another thing that smells like cat urine, is in fact, meth. Deep detail asap!! Better safe then sorry.
I think it was probably a drug dealers car
Usually the driver is at gun point when these are put into “jack mode” 😂
Parts by Chrysler, styling by Buick and price by Ferrari. Gotta love it!
Styling by buick for sure. First thing I thought when I saw those side vents. horrible style.
. . . and repaired by Wiz and hyped and SOLD by Hoovies don't forget.
And the powertrain (engine-transmission) by??
@@frankfacts6207 "repaired" by Wizard😅
Wrong .... 1947 Maserati Maserati A6 1500, their first 'road car' included three distinctive side vents. A full TWO years before side vents appeared on the 1949 Buick Roadmaster.
100,000 miles in 3 years!? How does one drive that much?
I travel for work but don’t use my personal car. I’ve put 10k on a vehicle in a week before
Picking up and dropping off drugs in KCMO
I don't know how someone racks up that many miles in such a short time but way back in July of 1987 I bought a 1987 Mazda B2000 pickup that already had 100,000 miles. It still ran great and drove like new.
I drive 40,000 km in a year, so it is reachable
Uber driver?
Taking it to redline with an engine full of sludge over and over really ups the resale value.
Only after the oil is drained first.
Maserati often names their cars after famous winds. "Ghibli, also spelled gibli, hot and dusty wind descending from the interior highlands of Libya." Likewise, the Maserati Mistral, Bora and Merak were also named after winds. Volkswagen is also a fan of "wind" names. The Golf refers to the Gulf Stream, Jetta is German for "jet stream," Passat means "trade wind," the Scirocco is named after Sirocco, a Mediterranean wind, and the Polo references polar winds.
Good to see you're off the bmws and into a whole new level of reliability issues.
😂😂😂🙌🏾
One day I'm going to destroy my credit by buying a C8 and driving it until they come to get it.
Every mechanic needs a friend like hoovie.
Best friend a mechanic could ever have.
Only if they have a big youtube channel like Hoovie. Otherwise no one wants to deal with the absolute junkers he brings in. That crap is barely profitable on a good day.
@@RAZGR1Z So long as they have deep pockets.
@@RAZGR1Z I'm pretty sure the wizard makes a pretty penny from Hoovie
i have no idea how Maserati is still in business with their insane pricing for mostly crap quality lol
It's not crap. The reason most used maseratis are crap is because people abuse them.
@@robloxcreator437 *cough* toothpaste panel gap *cough*
@@bandombeviews6035 dont worry when your old enough you will understand.
@@robloxcreator437 understand how for less money, you can get a better built and better performing car from another manufacturer for less money?
@@bandombeviews6035 yes cuz if u buy a cheap one results are that the previous owner treated it like crap.
Over $30k still seems like a bad deal for this.
100k miles in three years is straight highway miles regardless of the condition of the engine. But the car market is super bad you get hunk of shit car for so much money nowadays.
I mean if the oil flush fixes the issue (that I would be terrified of). The rest is just a couple of trims, tires, rims refurbished and good cleaning. No?
Agreed, just replacing the wheels and tires is going to eat up a chunk of the difference between this one and a more reasonable example.
I don't know anything about cars, but yes that also seemed so to me.
Of course it is. That is why we are all gathered here today.
How many times does Hoovie need to say, "FERRARI DERIVED" in this video?
I love these, Test drove several over the years. I used to repo cars back when i was young. Been attacked had people try and jump on the hood and I was shot at more times than I care to admit for basically min wage! Buying a bank repo is an coin toss most people who know the bank is looking for the car will mess it up or do some sort of sabotage. It's obvious who every owned this could not afford it or afford the maintenance that goes with it. IMO I would have never revved the engine of driven this hard until the engine got flushed especially a turbo car if the oil to the turbos stopped that would have been the end of them. This seems to one of your best buys and probably one of the lowest cost fixes I have seen on your channel. I was surprised no estimate on the repair costs.
The turbos could still be toast. You won't see any smoke while the cats are on lol
You just jinxed him!!!! lol
been there done that. Hated Repo work ( But trust me I made a hell of a lot more than minimum wage), and there were a few over the years who made it personal and those few I took Great satisfaction in helping them get back on their feet. Two favorites was a city police officer and a Texas DPS Trooper oh and another was a lady I had to repo the same car from her 5 times lol we can swap stories some day.
Damn bro do you live in a hood?
@@yungboicontigo9278 I repoed cars in the hood!
If I could inspect the Maserati Levante with The Car Wizards and Hoovies I would drink the shot of whiskey and puff on the Cannabis Cigars with them and get all schmoked up
That 'Ferrari-derived' engine is actually based on the Chrysler Pentastar V6 block.
You are correct. Pentastar logo is in several spots on the block.
its designed and engineered by Ferrari, built by Chyrsler in Usa. Much like an iphone model so yes it is a Ferrari derived engine.
Hoovie's Garage: The definition of failing your way to victory.
Mission failed successfully
i remember when he bought 5k hunk of junk. through several years of experience hoovie can now afford a 30k piece of shyte
@@rickycoker5830 😆😆😆 The guy is phenomenal success from cultivating the unlucky loser persona. You have to admire him for it.
I’d be willing to bet that this was once a rental car. The high mileage, mismatched tires and random damage really makes it seem like an old rental
This was a drug dealer's car for sure. High mileage and little to no maintenance is a tell tale sign. Drug dealers usually live beyond their means, because they're always counting on their next "deal" .
Only hoovie would gladly say "only 30 grand" on something like this.
This is the shittiest car you have ever bought !!! Even worse than the rusted out m3 !!
When you’re local junk yard has used tires for $25, ya best take full advantage.
That's actually a testament to how good these engines are given that this one was neglected and still runs nicely.
Indeed!!
im very impressed
Pretty impressive for sure! I doubt a Chrysler engine would have made it
I hated my Levante, it's a terrible care. No reason to like it, you can get better performance and better car for the same price or less.
The parallel line scratch on the bumper is from a garage door sliding down the bumper. They’re indicative of a garage kept vehicle.
Thank god it was in a garage. That means it was taken care of.
Automotive archeological tricks
@@closewatermelon lmao
@@captainevenslower4400 not necessarily
It was definitely in a garage….hiding……from the repo man.
I just love how Tyler buys these cars, knows theyve been treated badly, and still revs the Sh*t out of them the moment he gets them (before any maintenance).
King shit
I can almost guarantee that this was someone's Uber whip.
I was thinking the same thing, or possibly it was whored out on Turo.
If by Uber you mean drug runner then yeah definitely
Maserati’s always sound so good!
Hoovies either been hanging around Ed too long, or not enough 🤣
th-cam.com/video/FCHSNxvnURg/w-d-xo.html Finally its here
A minute with bolian would be to much
You could try 2 or 3 quarts of Dexron ATF, or 5w-30 diesel oil, both are very high in detergents
The fact that my '19 Jeep Compass has THE SAME INFOTAINMENT AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER as this Levante is all I need to know that even premium makes still have common man parts
in europe both are exotic
Yeah but the Maserati version cost $700 more because it's 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦
For electronics, high production parts are almost always superior. You don’t want niche electronics.
Idk about you guys, but a '19 Jeep Compass is not a common man car. Some of us non-millionaires are still driving 2001 Civics and Chevy Sonics.
I one day notice that the Ferrari California has the same radio and navigation as a Chrysler Town and Country. Lol
One day MAYBE he will learn???????? A Ferrari engine with SLUDGE = UNSERVICED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With Dodge poor quality parts, can it get ANY worse????
I wonder what un needed Luxury wizard will buy with HUGE profits????!!!!!
For all the issues and it being a repo I think 30k is kind of high for it...I thought he was going to say $15. You can find them with low miles under $60k on autotempest.
Go ahead find a cheaper one bet you won't most salvage yards will ask a premium
@@darell8310 Exactly. He Absolutely stole this Levante. People saying he paid too much obviously don't know what they cost.
It is interesting though. I found a few local for sale for $28k-$32k with a lot lower miles. I don’t know those cars’ history but I would expect a Levante in this bad condition to go for 20-25k.
The paintwork is pretty good for a neglected vehicle.
This is by far and away the dumbest car you’ve bought lol I love it
back to basics loooooooooooooool
Everytime I see one of these I'm impressed how emotional the exhaust sounds even on the base ones. As nice as the Mercedes? No... Possibly more fun? Yes
17:38 FYI Tyler you can drag the Heated seat icon to the bottom row and make it so the seat controls are always visible.
That's a shapeless blob have fun losing it in a parking lot
This is the definition of driving the car into the ground. Surprised someone could manage to do this in a mere 3 years!
I wondered about that oil cap when you put it back on Hoovie, I said oh oh, I hope he tightens that off camera.
Same!!
yup!
These SUV's are all ugly, boring and very uninspiring, regardless of the manufacturer. I just can't see the attraction at all. Well the Mercedes G is nice but it's ridiculously expensive.
I can't imagine spending over 100k for a car with a bunch of dodge caravan parts in it.
Pacifica is 60k now
@@mikedavern2155 That's $61,000 more than it's worth
Like bro that’s the reason why Maserati fell off like Infiniti and never competed with Germans but I gotta say the MC20 is promising. Infiniti is just an overpriced Nissan like Acura is a overpriced Honda and Lexus is an expensive Toyota
@@Digitalsharecropper I’m pretty sure it’s the highest trim not the starting MSRP
@@yungboicontigo9278 I haven't looked into the mc20 too much but it looks amazing. Hopefully it holds up
Hopefully "The Wizard" isn't like every other shop .... Lets see, to fix everything is $1000 , but because it is a Maserati, so the owner is rich, we take that total .... to fix your car is going to be ... $30,000 , plus tax lol
Paid good $$ for an abused car. $30 k is no deal. Did the cat come with it? It’s cat spraying, gross 🤮
You guys are soooo annoying with the Ferrari engine!! It’s not a Ferrari engine, you are thinking of the trofeo or gts with the 3.8l, that engine came in the Cali t, and it’s a very different engine still, for one, the Cali is a flat crank, Levante is a 90 crank.
The one in your car is a pentastar engine, ferrari does in fact make it, but they have nothing to do with the design, strictly manufacture it,
Also,, let see you reset that service light on that Autel scanner?? 100 bucks says you can’t !! Not without the sgw bypass cable,
Looks like a Buick, especially with those "speed holes" on the side.
LMAO speedholes. When the Simpsons were still good.
Bruh
Fyi...1947 Maserati Maserati A6 1500, their first 'road car' included three distinctive side vents. A full TWO years before side vents appeared on the 1949 Buick Roadmaster.
All I know is it looks like a hatchback version of a 2006 Lucerne.

The adjustable ride height on my Mercedes SUV actually saved my butt yesterday. I had to drive on a road with a little over 2 ft of water on it and the extra few inches was the difference between me and the SUV who tried to cross before me who got stuck for a couple seconds in the middle of the road and drove away with a distinct glugging sound coming from the muffler.
Hey Hoovie! Take it to John Ross and do the BG engine cleaner treatment that he did on a Camaro. It'll be good as new!
Only you and the wizard (possibly 2nd dumbest you tube channel) would buy one of these.
However if you are going to buy one owning your own car repair business is a must.
Perfect example of buying a car you can't afford to keep up. Clearly they needed to just get an old Honda odyssey cash car lol
Mrs. Wizard: David, where's my car?
Mr. Wizard: ...
wait, a ferrari engine with twin turbos is making 345 horsepower? are you sure you don't have the wrong car?
I would be concerned about the oil feed to the turbos and trying to protect them when the sludge is all shook up.
My thoughts too, pull them off before desludging and then replace with new items, especially the filter baskets
The V6 is tuned by Ferrari not Ferrari derived, it's roots are in Pentastar :)
It's different from Alfa's V6.
The cat piss was definetly the weed smell. Yes there is some weed that smell like cat piss
Meth smells like cat piss
How the hell do you run a car into the ground like that? I would seriously take enjoyment in publicly shaming the first owner for that level of irresponsibility. People like these need to be banned from EVER receiving credit or any kind of financial assistance. I would also revoke their drivers license if this is how they treat a brand new car. Heck I wouldn't even trust them with a bus pass - you're walking pal!
BTW: 33,000+ miles/year for 3 years that's pushing 90 miles a day every single day of the year. If you're daily commute is indeed 200 miles or you're spending 3+ hours a day in your car I think it's pretty safe to say you've got BIGGER PROBLEMS 🤣🤣🤣
The repo should help this happen. Only if they are a woman with only fans or a drug dealer will they be able to buy another.
@@philtowle4683 Or not. My gut says the creep knew what he was doing. And it's exactly these kinds of guys who have the crooked attorney. Wouldn't surprise me either if the car was sold/registered under some Mickey Mouse dba instead of his own personal name. No loss to him at all.
Forget public shaming, just dislocate his right knee, break his left ankle, twist his right elbow and overextend his left wrist... far more effective punishment IMHO 👍
You can also buy Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV,which also have “ferrari “ engine with 510hp.
Hoovie: I think the holes in the side is for letting heat out my man.. if they were fake, they would’ve been closed up imo 😏
I had a cat pee smell in my old X1 and it turned out to be clogged drain holes under the sunroof. Cleaned them out and it smelled of old BMW leather once again. Worth a look for an easy fix!
Does your garage have a carbon monoxide detector hooked up to an exhaust fan? I know it’s big and revving one car for a short time probably wouldn’t matter, but might still be a good habit to have a garage door open. I just would hate for something bad to happen to my favorite automotive channel in all of TH-cam
Try flushing with Valvoline Maxlife synthetic (high detergent) and a bottle of Liqui Moly engine flush. I've had a lot of good history with that for flushing gunk, varnish, and sludge. You might even want to flush and then drain and do it a second time. In your case, idle for a bit longer, maybe 25 or 30 minutes. You could even try popping in a bottle of AutoRX in the next oil to clean the metal off.
ive done the Seafoam in the oil and run for a while during normal changes keeps the sludge down, i would do with this one as one flush isnt going to get everything out from my experience and all those parts maybe worn and he should do a blackstone engine oil anaylsis on the old oil as well
Wichita is headquarters of BG so I'm sure the Wizard will give it the BG treatment.
@@lutomson3496 sludge isn’t wearing the internal parts anymore than the mileage already has. Sludge causes the parts to gunk up and move slow.
So when adsing seafoam is it better to run it in the old oil before the oil change or do an oil change with seafoam and changevit again ?
@@michaelhoffman8309 Change it first, add it in with the new oil, and run that til your next oil change. If things haven't improved, then repeat. Otherwise just go back to a good oil and you'll be fine as long as you keep up on oil changes to avoid sludge in the future.
I believe the window switches are actually a Mercedes design from the Daimler/Chrysler days.
New drinking game! Every time you spot one of Hoovie’s car’s in the wizard’s shop take a drink.
Over 30Gs for this P.O.S. is not a good deal but will make you a bundle in youtube dollars
The Levante is the most beautiful, elegant Jeep Cherokee on the road
😂
At least the engines are different lmfao
LOL, to be fair, he did say this chassis isn't shared with other Chryslers, but damn it sure looks like it.
How does he do an oil flush? Like, what's "the right way"?
I was always told not to uses those oil flush additives because they make all the sludge go to the bottom of your oil pan and clogging the oil pickup tube; starving your engine of oil and eventually "bricking it".
100,000 miles in 2 1/2 years? It has to be an Uber car
I was thinking coke dealer, personally.
Would anyone really run a Maserati as a taxi? not exactly good fuel economy and notoriously unreliable
Apart from it being a bit undewelming with only 350hp, it doesnt look a bad car!
Its amazing how many dodge caravan parts are in that Maserati
I think that beats out Lincoln and Cadillac for shameless cheap parts sharing
@@svpracer98 I don’t think both of those do parts sharing. Lincoln interiors looks really good and different from Ford and the Escalade interior is really beautiful for a Caddy let alone a GM.
Hey, I see it as how many Maserati parts are in the lowly Dodge Caravan…what an exotic value!
@@BillLaBrie That instrument cluster is identical to the cluster I had in a 2014 caravan.
@@floridaman7 Whaaah do you summahh, dahlink?
The previous owner definitely went to a used tire place and got 4 "new" tires put on.
I've been through the Straight of Gibraltar a couple times. The wind is so strong you can lean over almost 45 degrees
My gosh, how many Taco Bells did you have?
*I love Tyler’s venturesome spirit* on buying such Hiroshima bombs! LOL
Beautiful car, but OMG… an italian sports car, badly kept… sounds like a future(if not present-time) huge nightmare.
Thanks for sharing, Tyler. Love your channel!
Maserati has a long tradition of naming cars after winds: Mistral, Bora, Merak, Ghibli to name but a few.
I never heard of Maserati Mistral but it sounds kinda cool
You may want your police officer friemd and h8s puppy to do a walk around. I have a strain of northern lights that smells like cat pee once it cures up correctly!! Stay safe
Most of the older Maserati models were named after winds. Like the Mistral, Merak, Bora etc.
Hoovie didn't bother to check before ridiculing 100 years of Maserati tradition
Yep. Maserati and Volkswagen.
Don't forget Khamsin, Ghibli, Shamal and Karif. So far as I know, there is not one called Mariah...
A few more:
Chubasco (South American violent squall).
Buran (Russian/Central Asian sandstorm or blizzard).
Karif (Arabian wind).
“These tires smell like poop!” - Hoovie immediately smells them.
The fact the car drives after he showed how sludged up the engine was says something about it's reliability.
he should send the oil into blackstone for testing that engine may not last long being run low
Not really, the damage could already be done.
Yesh! We love it man. Another great find and can’t wait to see more on this beauty
