The oil pan is 50USD new, that the first thing I would do. Also you should wear some heavy duty gloves when you clean the interior of a car that has needle...
I am watching this channel for a while. All I can say is, this channel is a real example of not-to-do things. He has a very basic level of knowledge about the cars. Goes to cheap way, patches the issues. Especially this video is a very good example. What the hell you patch the oil pan, instead of replacing? Don't you know that the crack will extend by time regardless the patch material you have used? I do not even would like to talk about the gloves.

Considering the other one he mentioned, was also around the same spot & same size.... you are prob right. New, learning or just in a hurry & careless. Regardless, for the fees they charge... imho, should be a lot more careful + at least get anything blood/bio/drug related OUT. One would think that could be quite a legal pickle, if, say... he was pulled over driving the thing home or something & they found drugs, loose pills, used needles, ends of joints, unknown, unaccessable glove box w/ who knows what in it... etc. (I mean, would be nice if it were some stacks of $100's in there or some nice jewelry or something, but..... lol I would've cracked that sucker open somehow before I left that lot. But that's just me) As a consumer, first & foremost... would be mechanically sound. REALLY making sure (only once he knew it'd start/run w/ no 'major issues' ((which I think he's too impulsive about usually & jumps in, spending, fixing, replacing etc BEFORE ensuring that much)) THEN....) it's going to start & be worth putting even a penny into. I'd want to make sure it'd run first. Be sure that oil pan fix is legit & going to stick/work. Otherwise, now... replace it first. He already did tire ahead of, so good thing it started, I guess. After making sure it's reliable, I'd clean inside best I could (have it CHEAPLY detailed inside) Then, wash outside & really check into what's worth my time/$... for best return/sale/profit. At this point, before another penny, see if maybe WeirdBeard wants it to flip... sell it to him for like $3500/quick flip, small profit & some left at other end MAYBE (if it can be sourced quick or cheaply enough/matching) see about touching up scuffs or fender ding. Idk that I'd replace & DEF don't think repainting would be smart (which he usually wants to do) Other than those spots (from here, anyway) looks nice new-ish white color. He or WB can touch up (which WB is great at) & then.... quick flip asap, mark it for like $5200, end up taking $4700 or something, at lowest. A good reliable car, esp these days... for best price is what people want. I couldn't care LESS about those little scuffs on front, not even really the dent by wheel. I'd rather have the oil pan fixed for sure, as the consumer. TLDR: Sorry for the rambling. Totally agree w/ you & w/ the fees they charge, that should be unacceptable; esp since it 'sems' to have prob also be the culprit for the hole in oil pan. IMHO & since he asked, I'd clean out inside for as cheaply as possible/detail.. be sure it's mechanically sound, touch up what you can, buff out, etc...

buddy you gotta wear thick gloves cleaning out those cars, so you don't get stick with a dirty needle. They're called accidents for a reason. Great content!
RANDY! Fix your damn mic!!! Anyways... Randy... I'm going to say it man... You now OWN a house.. A House that is YOUR'S! You're not renting. You OWN and also... You running a pretty wicked business. I'm not going to lie man..... You sir! You are living the American Dream! Stay awesome! Stay safe and I hope to see more and more videos.
Randy, i would definitely replace the fender and get some touch up paint for the rear bumper and scratches in the front bumper. I think thats your best bang for your buck. After a full detail, i bet you could get 4800 for her.
I agree. The time spent finding a white fender and getting the paint fixed will be an easy $1000 add to the value and wont take up that much time. Used car prices are going up and this one is in the sweet spot for the extra boost. Plus it would be another video that just adds even more to the profit.
It's really fun to see you. I enjoy watching the messes you get yourself into and then there's some good vehicles you get. I really love when you thank your subscribers.
Dude you REALLY need to wear some heavy gloves when you're going thru a BIO car to empty it out. Especially if there's needles and stuff that carries germs/diseases. Also, it's asinine that IAA won't pay for the damages when they fuck up a car with their forks. They should be towing these cars and not carrying them around with a big hamfisted forklift... personally I'd try to source a new bumper of the right color.
Randy, The holes in the oil pans are coming from the equipment operators at the auctions....the pans get hit by the forks....seen it on many cars we pick up, they were fine when we inspected them then go to pick it up and pouring oil out.
& super cheaply too. Otherwise, I'd clean the inside via cheapest svc, wash outside... be SURE it's mechanically sound & that patch is going to hold (as consumer I'd rather that be replaced if need be, than some scuffs/dents) I think to not eat into profits, esp now when people will be looking to get price down when buying... he's gotta flip it quick & not nickle/dime on things not necessary or worth it, financially. Clean & flip... mark it $5200 & take $4700 if need be OR... get it to Weird Beard for $3500 & let him do his thaaaaang & make the profit at the other end. Either way, hope it works out for them. :) Stay safe & be well.
The dealership I work for had a 2013 Chevy Sonic with 135K miles on it, and if I remember correctly they sold it for about around $6,000 believe it or not. Granted an actual dealership is different I know. But still. I think you could get a little more than 4,500.. I would say at least try up to 5,000, that being if you do replace at least the fender. The bumper isn't too terrible but if you find one paint matched for cheap then hey, might as well lol. Keep up the good work man!
The holes in the oil pan are from the tow truck . The wheel lift is close to the pan and with the blown out tire it sits lower in the wheel lift . When it bounces it smacks the wheel lift and cracks the pan . The tow truck driver is supposed to put a small tire between the wheel lift and the oil pan to protect it
Great video Randy. I see the house is looking good inside. The Sonic will be a easy 4-4500. I don’t understand why you feel the need to explain your actions. I am a real supporter and enjoy the content. Much respect ✊ Have a great day Randy 👋🏼👋🏼
Omg you do have a soft side. Kidding of course. And thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for doing the videos. With everything going on in the world its nice to have something fun and interesting to watch almost every day. Thankyou Randy!!! 🚔🚕🚖🚘🚓🚙🚚🚛
Replace the oilpan, fix the small damage on the bumper and try to fix the fender a little, oilpan is the most important, Randy! Kepp it going and stay safe!
Hi Randy. I've patched a few oil pans. Best results were achieved using Bondo fibreglass. Never leaked a drop over ten years. Everything else started seeping over time. Nice dog. When the forklift backed out the end of the fork hit the pan.
Hi randy just replace the fender only. Bumper can be fix.safe money. What see is you like to wast money Getting detailed by shop .why not just clean it your self save $150.00.
Time isn't free but that just means you need to spend time doing what you enjoy. If you're doing something you don't enjoy and it starts to feel like work, that's when you need to be concerned (and start doing cost/benefit analysis).
*it's a Sonic, how much can a replacement oil pan cost? Just looked it up and you've got what the car is worth wholesale right now invested in it just with the price you paid for it. anything more you put into it and you're just giving away money at this point* There is only $200.00 difference between the car in excellent shape and good shape
@@josephklein8160 Honestly he paid too much for it to begin with. if he could have gotten it bought for about $1,000 less he could have afforded to put the thing back 100% and maybe commanded $4,000 /$4,500 for it still. the price of the replacement laser cut keys are what really hurt him on this one though i think
If he can get cheap parts, and get them painted to match cheap which you should be able to get parts for two hundred bucks... Get them painted for a couple hundred bucks oh, I don't see how he will lose money on it oh, he won't make money on it... However he will get to be satisfied knowing he not only sells a good mechanically car but a good cosmetically car, and he will get to do another video which will give him extra cash from the views on the video that's the only way it will be worth it.
Good video. Presentation is worth confidence when it comes to used cars. I have noticed you take consideration to mix tires on a car when you do your copart walk around. If there is a donor vehicle available, same color with an oil pan, I would get the parts , install them and skip the paint job. Either way good content and the pups are perfect. The little dog lightly chews on your had because he is happy to see you. Keep the videos rolling and save the Liberty...
I CRINGE every time I see you using your bare hands going through garbage left behind in these cars. I know you said you don't like wearing gloves, but pleassssse reconsider!
We use Flex Seal Tape on Rusty oil pans in the Northeast, Road salt eats pinholes in them, works great, did our Durango 2 years ago, has not leaked a drop
I think its worth a fender but not a bumper. Only if you can find the fender in a matching color. The bumper has average-looking wear and tear but the fender could damage the value a bit.
Hi Randy,we would repair front and rear bumper and most likely the fender as well,then just flash in the repairs would not replace the front bumper.Surely if its a clean title done up its got to be worth 5+.Here in the UK we would have got the keys done by an independant auto locksmith,a lot cheaper.I think the issue with the 350z video is that theres a lot covering bodywork on youtube,what you normally do is different to most.As for the sonic is it not a job for WB he will soon sort it.
I think the car is definitely accepted and car is going to need a full tune up get good body paint and clean dealer shop cause everything with car is definitely worth it
You may hit up Pull-A- on SE 15th and Santa Fe in OKC. Granted, they do not have pictures of their cars, they show to have six Sonics on their lot. Good luck.
Everytime im in the middle of one of his videos. I get the notification for another one. Not complaining I like his videos this happen to anybody else 🤔?
I'd replace just the fender because it's a very visible eye sore and will likely reduce the cars resell value, meanwhile you can barely see the bumper's damage if you aren't looking for it.
Personally I'd replace the fender if a white one could be found, or, see if WB can repair it. The scuffs on the rear bumper can be addressed, but the front one with the forklift damage I'd leave it alone. Easily worth $4500.00 on the open market..(I viewed this with the firestick and couldn't comment, so here I am)
my experience with jb weld is it works well on stuff with no pressure except anything that has to do with gas. gas eats it away. oil pan repair it works great
Years ago I sat in a Chevy Sonic at St Louis Auto show . I hate it the seats were uncomfortable . Granited at the time I was driving in 1989 Volvo GLE 😁
Definitely change the fender. Bumper if you find it, I could be replaced too. And maybe a new oil pan, it would give the car a long lifespan. And you still can sell it for $5,500 easily given the year and miles.
No. Kick it down the road. Don't replace the bumper or fender just see if you can get $4500 out of it and if you can't get $4500 just get it gone with trying to make something from it and move on to the next project. You have alot of other things that would be a better and more valuable than a Chevy Sonic. Love the channel and content. 👍🏻
Hole in pan is most likely from improper towing . If wheel bars are not set correctly on tow hitch . The bar will slap the pan as u drive over pot holes in the road.
Replace oil pan and fender. Use plastic welder to fix front bumper. Should be able to get $4500. Replace cabin air filter and engine air filter. Check/clean spark plugs. Touch up paint on rear quarter panel.
Also, those Sonics are pretty good little cars. I’m a Ford guy but put my 16 year old daughter in one as her first car. Once she gets done hitting shit we’ll upgrade her to something a little bigger and more comfortable
Randy, you could use it on Touro if it is clean title :) Also it need the change of the OIL FILTER and you need to reset the computer. Second, I think WB can do the front fender treatment if you can not find white good one and he can touch with paint bumpers :) PPS - never throw away coins, it is money too, so it is better to give it away for some kid or a person who could appreciate.
The fender is worth replacing if you can find one in the same color for a cheap price. Honestly, other than that, just get it detailed and send it on it’s way. I bought a ‘13 Hyundai Accent last year around what you are thinking of asking for this, the most important thing to me was if everything worked and it was mechanically sound.
I'd replace the fender because that sticks out like a sore thumb, the bumper damage is low enough and minor enough that most people wouldn't notice or care much about it.
Just fixed the the lady next door oil pan on her Sonic she is getting old and hit a curb was only 50 or 60 bucks for the pan. And it didn't take long to do at all did it in her driveway.
Watching the tachometer when the car was being driven for the first time looked like the trans wasnt shifting correctly, the rpms were way too high and stayed there for a while. But as it kept going to seemed to work ok.
The oil pan is 50USD new, that the first thing I would do. Also you should wear some heavy duty gloves when you clean the interior of a car that has needle...
he used 50$ for 4 gms and couple needles
Yeah, would def not touch that stuff without gloves....
That sealer I have used before. It is pretty good stuff. I was a little nervous for him about those drugs and needles.

I suppose what the value of the car is. Is it worth it.
Give Mike some content on this car and let him repair the bumper and fender. Then let it go!!
I think just fix the fender. Leave bumper to squeeze some profit out
I agree. I doubt there is a 5 year old car out there that doesn't have a scrape or two on the bumper.
thats what you see everyday getting in..
Yup just do the fender. Bumper isnt terrible
better do that fkn bumper, Philip's stingy ass will pay for it.
Hey just a reminder PUT SOME GLOVES ON and protect yourself when you are digging in those trash cars. PLEASE

If I remember correctly you did a Chevy sonic a couple years ago. Love the channel randy! 🤘🤘
Randy found roaches
William Singer gross 🤮🤢
Yep and it had needles in it too
He did . Found a meth pipe in it also
Is Copart punching holes in these oil pans with the forks? Maybe a Rookie Lift Driver?

Everytime im in the middle of one of his videos. I get the notification for another one. Not complaining I like his videos this happen to anybody else 🤔?
you have to refresh the youtube page on your computer /phone every time
I'd replace just the fender because it's a very visible eye sore and will likely reduce the cars resell value, meanwhile you can barely see the bumper's damage if you aren't looking for it.
Replace the wing for sure. Leave the bumper I think though, they get torn up so easily on curbs anyway, and the damage is so low down too.
Personally I'd replace the fender if a white one could be found, or, see if WB can repair it. The scuffs on the rear bumper can be addressed, but the front one with the forklift damage I'd leave it alone. Easily worth $4500.00 on the open market..(I viewed this with the firestick and couldn't comment, so here I am)
controls to reset oil indicator is on blinker switch. & the sonic rides the best out of it and the other cars in its class.
Your welcome Randy I do enjoy most of your videos, you do a good job keeping us entertained.
You’re welcome enjoy keep video tapping love the content you tk and lucky plus melly keeps it real..
my experience with jb weld is it works well on stuff with no pressure except anything that has to do with gas. gas eats it away. oil pan repair it works great
this channel is going 🔥🔥.keep it going Randy😉
You have spent enough! Leave the bumper and fender as is. Take the money and run! Great job with the oil pan.
I literally just sold a 2012 sonic with 130k on it for 5500.i know every place is different just letting you know.love the vids Randy 👍
I'd do the fender for sure, especially if you can get it used in the right color.
Years ago I sat in a Chevy Sonic at St Louis Auto show . I hate it the seats were uncomfortable . Granited at the time I was driving in 1989 Volvo GLE 😁
We have a 2013 Sonic and it’s the most reliable vehicle we’ve ever owned. I’d say it’s definitely worth replacing the bumper and fender, 100%
Definitely change the fender. Bumper if you find it, I could be replaced too. And maybe a new oil pan, it would give the car a long lifespan. And you still can sell it for $5,500 easily given the year and miles.
Just put on used fender on it and try buffing out the back bumper and ship it.
No. Kick it down the road. Don't replace the bumper or fender just see if you can get $4500 out of it and if you can't get $4500 just get it gone with trying to make something from it and move on to the next project. You have alot of other things that would be a better and more valuable than a Chevy Sonic. Love the channel and content. 👍🏻
I'd replace the fender, leave the bumper how it is, not big enough of an issue to make buyers look away
I would fix the fender and bumper it would be a great first car for some one
House is looking nice. Build u a carport off the front.
Hole in pan is most likely from improper towing . If wheel bars are not set correctly on tow hitch . The bar will slap the pan as u drive over pot holes in the road.
Randy, try paintless dent removal on the fender, won’t be perfect but may make it acceptable. Definitely respray the bumpers, should be very cheap.
Hello Randy, honestly your best and cheapest way to make it loo better, would be to call a mobile Autobody repair guy.
Replace oil pan and fender. Use plastic welder to fix front bumper. Should be able to get $4500. Replace cabin air filter and engine air filter. Check/clean spark plugs. Touch up paint on rear quarter panel.
Also, those Sonics are pretty good little cars. I’m a Ford guy but put my 16 year old daughter in one as her first car. Once she gets done hitting shit we’ll upgrade her to something a little bigger and more comfortable
Pull the fender out best you can by hand and go to local parts store and get color match rattle can and touch up bumpers and ship it down road
Those needles should go in a sharps container.
Things are tough all over. We are struggling to get inventory for the dealership without paying through the nose
tbh in this car it does make sense to change the oil pan as its very easy to change and im pretty sure you would find a used one for very little money
Randy, you could use it on Touro if it is clean title :) Also it need the change of the OIL FILTER and you need to reset the computer. Second, I think WB can do the front fender treatment if you can not find white good one and he can touch with paint bumpers :) PPS - never throw away coins, it is money too, so it is better to give it away for some kid or a person who could appreciate.
No thank you randy we all love you this channel is amazing can’t wait to see many more blessings your way man
Randy I think you should try changing the bumper and clean it up well and you should get a very good price for it because it is nice
The fender is worth replacing if you can find one in the same color for a cheap price. Honestly, other than that, just get it detailed and send it on it’s way. I bought a ‘13 Hyundai Accent last year around what you are thinking of asking for this, the most important thing to me was if everything worked and it was mechanically sound.
Gloves Randy! GLOVES!!!
I'd replace the fender because that sticks out like a sore thumb, the bumper damage is low enough and minor enough that most people wouldn't notice or care much about it.
Do the oil pan, do the fender and bumper if same colour only, clean it up
Thank you too for your time and for every thing
Just fixed the the lady next door oil pan on her Sonic she is getting old and hit a curb was only 50 or 60 bucks for the pan. And it didn't take long to do at all did it in her driveway.
Watching the tachometer when the car was being driven for the first time looked like the trans wasnt shifting correctly, the rpms were way too high and stayed there for a while. But as it kept going to seemed to work ok.
Randy, we want to see more videos with high mileage vehicles that are actually worth buying.
