In the ghetto in my city, you pull into the O'reilly Auto Parts, Auto Zone, etc., and every light pole has a sign that says "Absolutely no auto repairs allowed in this parking lot." Invariably you will find one guy doing an entire engine rebuild, another guy dropping the transmission, someone else doing an oil change with no drain pan, tires everywhere, batteries getting recharged. It's mayhem.
Don't EVER put duct tape on the painted surface of a car! If it doesn't pull paint off, the adhesive will still be a bitch to remove. Instead, use the original Scotch blue masking tap. They now sell other versions of it, including one that supposedly is even easier to remove, but it has less adhesion and the fact is that the original version, even after extended application, and even after being subjected to sun or rain (yes, water) will not only do the job intended but will almost always pull off without adhesive left on the surface. But it will virtually never pull paint off upon removal.
Wow Craig....your brother and Dad are so much fun! No doubt they can get on you, like family does. Interesting selection of cars. Good luck with the selling!! and maybe buying? Until next week?
You can tell how amazing of a person Craig is... he still believed the auctioneer that the convertible top worked at a whole sale car auction after 20 years in the game. Great work figuring it out boys :)
It takes a special kind of stupid to be in the business for 20 years and keep buying cars without checking them out. Does anyone else run cars through the auction with their youtube sticker in the window? NOPE. Craig does though. Then he decided to get into flipping after the market crash. I hope nobody is paying for his course on how to be a car dealer. LOL
He's also buying very cheap cars and trying to flip them. It's educational or entertainment content for the channel. Come on guys, if he did this on the regular for himself, he wouldn't have been in business this long.
@@Duh_Huh_24 are you saying buying cars, shipping them cross country, selling them as is, while bringing your family along, doesn't make financial sense. Is that what you are telling us, Captain?
Craig, a tip for you for the future, pick up some Dr. Shrink Shrink Wrap Tape. It is as strong as duct tape (possibly stronger) but the adhesive doesn't leave residue on paint. It is pricey but worth it. It is made for use when shrink wrapping boats.
Barrette Jackson seemed to have better vehicles than Mecum here in AZ. But I wouldn’t buy anything sight unseen. Both auctions smelled like fresh paint, and a lot of bondo.
This has been my most favorite episode that you've ever put out. So much input, so much information. The three of you guys together really made this for a great video. Thank you and good luck!
I too had a 2003 SL500 that i still have nightmares about and i dont even own it anymore... It had 20k miles on it when i bought and was equally as crappy as yours. I spent over $6k to keep that top running correctly over the 2 years i owned it and there was only 1 guy in town that had a remote clue on how to work on it. In fact, when i took it to the Mercedes dealership to work on the top, they told me they do not work on those things and sent me to this independent guy who did a great job of keeping it going, but worked on it on his time schedule so it would be gone for weeks at a time. Im getting all worked up just writing this... good luck
So, the cars you can get at the famous auctions (Mecum's, Barrett-Jackson, etc.) are just as liable to have major issues and the cars sitting down at JOSE'S EXCELLENT USED CARS lot? Except they cost twice as much AND you don't get to test drive them OR take them to your mechanic for an inspections?? No, thanks. I always thought those big auction houses vetted the cars that went on their blocks. Guess not.
Ive flipped alot of cars.. probably got best margins on Germany luxury cars..but i liked selling cheap Toyotas... I felt good selling them..i know they are good reliable cars
Craig. Awesome video as always, and no matter the s..t show, Treasure the time with your Dad and Bro, and PaPa Al. We grew up with my father inlaw who was also a car salesman, rented GT Shelbys back in the days, R.I.P. His name, PaPa Al. God Bless, Terry in Canada.
My biggest problem with Dollar and Thrifty are the windows are always filthy and half the time no wiper fluid. They are cheaper though. I like Hertz / Enterprise for the most part.
Your brother literally took the words out of my mouth about you don’t have a nice suitcase but you have a great car collection and that suitcase does look like it’s a kids😂😂😔😔
You guys are hilarious. Nothing like a boys tour? Your dad is obviously enjoying himself. Good on you all. Quite a bit of admin though 😂😅 No easy way to fix clearcoat properly. It must have copped a lot of sun.
As for the 2018 subaru wrx. The front and rear difs need the fluid changed every 25-30k if you don't when turning it will bind up and click kinda like what you were hearing.
Today's lesson is : Auction cars went to auction for a REASON! Bonus lesson : Duct tape is bad at everything people use it for. (Painter's tape would have been a better choice)
I thought you learned this lesson last year......plan ahead bring sorted cars that are sought after. Not auction flips from the last month. I'd have expected something wrong with that wrx too purchased from an auction. They don't have problems selling normally especially a 2018. I'm not too the results yet but the cars at mecum have to be older or special. Even foxbodies have to be super pristine low miles or a special edition to make money. Same with Mercedes.
Watching you three interact gets me nostalgic for NE, moved away after 31 yrs in MA and I miss it when I watch your videos. Love the content but it took way to long for this first video, I couldn't wait and had to check the Mecum results for 8 days ago to see how it went! No spoilers but don't make us wait so long lol.
@@richardmorris6365 do you want to hear something funnier? My brother in the Marine Corps is 43 years old and as a sergeant major and carries a man purse.😂😂😂
I delivered brand new cars straight off the train to the dealer....cars are never where they say..u could take hours to find 1 car...i learned never load till u find all the cars on paper work...if not hours of changing it during 9am to 5pm so i would just skip to my next load...im paid by load not hour
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it! I bought, remodeled and resold, hundreds of foreclosure houses and very seldom found an easy one. Experience and knowledge is the key.
I don't care what anyone says... Carrying a "man bag" is great. I carry one every time I go play cards, and I always have everything I need. I don't understand the hate on man bags.
Watching the clearcoat peeling off hurt my soul 😭 Crazy that I've flipped probably half a dozen hardtop convertible Chrysler Sebrings, two Pontiac G6 hardtop convertibles, and one VW Eos hardtop convertible all with more miles and they had no top issues, this video makes me feel damn lucky 😂 But hope you at least break even on the Benz man 👍
@@TheEnd-eg6wq Yup the hardtop Sebring came out in 08 - The later first gen Chrysler 200 was basically just a refreshed Sebring so it kept the same hardtop design. The rear decklid opened backwards just like this SL500 and folded similarly and looked just as complex, but surprisingly for an old Chrysler I've never flipped one that the top didn't work.
I have that hardtop convertible and I was spilling my drink watching you guys struggle with it! I heard about the red painted ones having a paint issue that you found. That car is a pain in the ass. When it says ABC, it means $$. But you probably know how to fix that. Best of luck making some cash on that Benz!
That was the Mercedes from hell. Good deal on the Stingrays convertible. You complain about the rain in NH,this winter has been awful down here,I'm surprised you seemed to have decent weather.
13:20 One of the main reasons why I don't like convertibles. Once they crap out on you, they become a massive pain. I don't like the look of the soft tops either. Also good bye storage space.

Use 2" painter's tape, not duct tape. It'll hold long enough, it's designed to keep paint out (so will keep water out at least for a while) and won't take the clear off when you remove it.
I'm sure its the same all over but Florida seems to be the worst. We looked for over 2 months for my sons car so many scams and waste of times. Ask them straight out its clean nothing wrong we would show up be a complete disaster 2 hours of driving for some peace of crap.
Thanks for showing us your old house, really shows that anyone can do anything they put their mind to, not every dealership owner starts out in a huge mansion! Love your videos
Wait, so you got screwed when you bought that Mercedes cause the top was not working properly, ebrake panel broken etc. But then you drove it straight to the auction to sell to some other unsuspecting buyer? Do I have that right? And the WRX with issues, same deal?
I don't like to buy on "guts", but it happens; at least if you get them up north, you will have a lot of tire kickers. Entertaining video. Craig, I would ignore the negative comments. I wanted to attend that auction, but heart disease is getting me close to home.
I personally am at a loss as to why you chose to use the type of tape you did when there are several other varieties available at Walmart. Then the way it was removed pulling straight up rather than pulling forward after sitting in the sun for a bit later in the morning. it is not that uncommon for a painter to allow the base coat to cure a bit too much before applying the clear coat, severely reducing it's adhesion ability to burn into the base coat and become one with it. I thought that you appeared to have far more miles on you in that dept. to know better. Especially with little - no time to cure the more than possible results. But the results did create film content , whereas here on this platform ,can result in being more valuable than the loss itself.
I have wanted a white STI or WRX since I had to sell my 2.5RS Subaru back in 2001. Now all these years later and I still do not own one. Family and life over the past 24 years and my dream car got pushed further and further back in my life. I hope it goes to someone who will really love that car.
By far, it's your best video. Your brother and father add so much value to the content. Great work!
