I don't understand how a flood damaged car is OK to repair and drive in the USA but not Canada? They told me electrical problems haunt the vehicle for the rest of it's life. Understandable but many connections are water tight. Many are not. When you have a car that steers by wire imagine the wheel not working on the highway. This might turn out to be a huge mistake for anyone restoring something like that as they could be sued right? If the flood in mentioned in the title then it's buyer beware?
True, Spent $2,600 on a car, dang fees was 1k, I was shocked, Ended up putting another 3k in the car to fix it, it was worth it cause it had low miles but when i went on FB, I seen cars posted for the same miles and same price. I felt stupid and i been buying for years
@@HemiLyfestyle This is very true at the low end. At the upper end, it's more reasonable - about 6K for the Bentley. The old adage that there's no free lunch is absolutely true. Every time you sell or buy a car it's an extra 1K minimum, so factor that in. People think that they can make money, but the reality is that you can look at a hundred cars over several days to find one that MIGHT turn a reasonable profit if you have your own lift and garage.
Yeah, its tough to make a profit on a lot of these insurance cars. The repair time and complexity is often high and your taking risk every time you buy one that it could be a huge surprise in a bad way. I bought a Tesla that ended up being easier to repair than I expected but then the used price of Tesla’s plummeted 😅 so had to keep the car
I've rebuilt a ton of cars over the years, some for personal use and some for resale. It's fun (I love learning new skills like body, paint, detailing, etc), I've gotten some personal cars I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford, and I usually make money. The only cars I've really lost money on are high-miles German cars, and the most profitable ones (as a percentage of cost) have been American and Japanese sub $5k cars. To me, that Mercedes wagon was the only deal, assuming it runs. Some of the supercars and luxury brands can be profitable, but the risks are substantial. The difference between a $50k profit and a $20k loss is razor thin.
Yeah, your entire profit can be wiped out by a single part on an exotic. V tuned did his McLaren and "made a profit" but he lost his shirt if you include the hours he spent on it. Even if you figure a very low $80/hr he had $80,000 in labour on it.
"Cheap" car prices and demand have skyrocketed with the inflation on new cars. I think this is a great place for rebuilding; there is a lot to choose from and reasonable parts prices. On the other hand, with the spike in interest rates and sketchy economic situation, I think rebuilt exotics have become a more risky proposition.
@@dosgos Well it used to be if you were "upside down" on a used car it was a bad thing. But oddly enough with the insane prices on new cars, the value of a used car has increased so you're not so upside down. I've put $8000 into my 2004 F150 and people said "you're nuts". Ok, ignoring the fact that it's a 5.4L, anything 6 yrs+ newer would cost me $20K and up AND come with its own problems. New? to replace it? $60,000+ and for that I could rebuild mine from the ground up and have enough to pay for gas for the rest of my life.
Usually Bentleys are under 6,000 lb and max price of $409,000 extremely fully loaded and only 45% can be written off the tax code vs Rolls Royce are 6,000 lb and start at half a million dollars and can reach up to$1.5 million depending on options therefore bigger tax write off.
Also, for people who want bling status, everyone has a Bentley or a Ferrari. Lol. In some places in Los Angeles, you see one every other block, almost. Now the real bling, though, is and has always been classic cars. That mint condition 1960 or 70ss Bentley is going to turn heads all the time. In my case, it was a 1967 Mercedes in (factory) emerald green. It felt special to drive it. Compared to any old AMG that is.. nice but like every other German sedan?
I about spit my drink when you said the way the floorboard dipped would change the water level line inside the car. lmao! Gravity doesn't work that way. lol.
I really appreciate when you show what the cars you are looking at sell for. As im typing this, I'm thinking you dont do it for every car because they didnt sell. So I digress! Happy Holidays Sam! Thanks for a great year of content, laughs, information, education, everything man. Hope all is well brother, cheers!
I just imagine someone drunk and driving like a maniac not caring if they destroy their 5-10 or 20 year old quality car. I bet some rich guy gives the car to their spoiled 16 year old and well, who cares what happens. Probably have to settle with an ordinary Corvette as punishment.
16:17 I have a sneaking suspicion that car was never registered, probably damaged by the dealer or on a test drive. I mean at 150 miles if someone actually owned it, they totaled it on the first or 2nd time they drove it.
Felice Navidad! Great video, amazing how much some of those went for. My personal favorite to set ablaze was the custom paint job Vette. Perhaps the seats would make some nice boots!
I've been watching your videos for almost a couple years now. Love them. There real. Not scripted or staged. You have that normal working class ora about you. Think that's why I really enjoy your videos.
Your obvious carnivorous Love,, passion, and intoxicating enthusiasm for what you do is EXACTLY how I feel about step mom. Merry Christmas Sam, we love you!! And please do these auction vids OFTEN!
I have a D4 Audi A8L with the V8 twin-turbo; same motor...APR tune, improved RS7 turbos, downpipes, turbo oil screens removed/relocated up on custom lines, bigger sway bars and the center muffler changed. Very understated, not loud, but will straight up move. Best part? Inherited
Like these videos, its a shame we cannot follow them after repair and restoration to see what was a winner💪👍🏻 Thznks Sam, very interesting to see actual sale prices 👏👏👏
Terrific video today Sam so interesting its truly so amazing how much these cars go for if you are mechanically inclined you can fix them up relatively cheaply and then enjoy them.
Was thinking the same thing. Was wondering if they put a turbo on it and possibly caused the fire but probably not. Just a jaggoff putting a turbo badge on a NA car lol
@@Senzenfrenz That might be right. I am not interested in german cars at all. It bothers me a lot that 90% of hits (when I search for performance, gearbox etc) are german cars.
Sam is right!! 2007 Porsche Cayman Mileage: 66,953 · Little Ferry, NJ for $20k in great condition with a clean title on Car Gurus! Not sure if this has the IMS bearing or not. Pristene condition!
Sad that there are a lot of scumbags out there when it comes to getting cars from an auction. You've actually saved me from getting a huge money pit from these auctions. I was looking at a 2010 Porsche 911 at my local auction that was listed as running and driving supposedly it was a bank repo.. I googled the VIN number and found that the car was previously listed at a different auction a few months ago as a flood car!
Insurance auctions are a fools paradise. There is an entire industry of people buying these cars, making them look a little better and flipping them at the same auctions. Only If you are a scammer or need content for youtube the auctions make sense.
The entire salvage auction industry isn't completely made up of cover-ups. Thousands of cars sold daily, only a small percentage are cover-ups, larger percentage from dealers, the rest from insurance companies. Unlike these content seeking youtubers, I actually do this daily. I own a used car dealer that only buys salvage cars from copart. I never inspect cars in person either. You just have to know who you are buying from and that can tell you the condition of most cars. Also, managing risk.
Copart is to expensive most times and allowing people to buy with no experience drives up the prices. It’s a racket now and you must be prepared to loose all the money your friends and family think is a good deal.
Love the Bentley GTC! Interior is so NICE! Ferrari 570 Maranello interior seems really good. .. Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is probably the best project car. The easiest is the Cobra replica to fix. Mercedes E wagon seems a steal
I'll make it easy... don't buy a salvage car unless it's an actual insurance co selling it. This clean up, replace a few panels etc scam has been going on for years and your screwed once you win. Don't spend more than you can afford to lose, because there's a good chance you'll lose money lol
If that Cayenne sold for $11,600 how much could you part out those brakes for if you bought it for parts and didn’t want to rebuild it even if it was rebuildable ?
I'm not really sure if the brakes are compatible with anything else. If they fit other models then I would say you could get around $5k for the used set. If they only fit a Cayenne then it's a pretty tough market because who really wants an expensive brake set for an old SUV...
Old german cars..so much to go wrong. The v8's had the nasty v8 cam teeth that would get worn out and cause major engine damage, never mind that air suspension eventually needs to be repaired or replaced with coilovers. Great luxury on the cheap, but when they break, run.
Yup for personal use,not resale. Have purchased two with clean titles both donated vehicles from copart. Both great vehicles. I do not purchase salvage title vehicles. Insurance issues and resale issues. Not my thing but fun.
Who are the clowns destroying these cars, some with 150kms???? I get the older ones and I know some are due to accidents, but some absolutely were “pilot error”. Breaks my heart.
I bought a 1 1/2 year old Aston Martin with only 700 miles half off what a new one costs. Wealthy always buy new. Second hand buyers still Can not afford so one reason why exotics depreciate so much. Parts never depreciate as well as labor. Exotic car parts are only oem with No aftermarket support as few cars are made in this category. With EV’s just as fast or faster, exotics are still moving art. Once USA starts building its own battery factories vs buying from China and Korea, EV’s will be cheap and Manufactured faster than gas cars.
Love this video Sam - the fees are interesting and something a lot of folks don't factor in. There were a lot of cars here like the Cayenne and the 550 I would love to take on. Certainly not that flooded Bentley!
I mean.. only $12K for an engine rebuild in a couple of years. Everyone has that lying around, right? Go talk to Tyler about how expensive thee things get to keep running. Anyone smart runs away from it once it needs major engine or electrical work.
To answer your question @30:30 no Not from Florida. No buy from Florida. With their hurricanes, floods and flooded cars as collateral damage, safer to buy from another state without those issues! Especially the flooded cars, salt water is not good at all. Florida is tainted as a whole. I wouldn't touch anything in that state with a 1000 mile pole! Edit: I saw an Austin Healy off to the right at the end of the video. Beautiful car, good video.
That c5 corvette was an extremely easy fix.. throw a after market wide body on the rear quarter and a new door and get rid of the horrendous paint job and got yourself a solid car for 10k
Yes, like the video. I would spend my own money on the very last Ferrari. You looked at that one looks like it would be the easiest to bring back to life. Also, it’s one of my favorite body styles of Ferraris.

Whoever owned that Corvetter definitely wore New Balance cross trainers with jean shorts, polo shirt, and Ping ball cap.

The first time I feel good buying a car in Germany.
S2000 in great shape cost around $12-19k in Germany.

Kinda crazy to see that many high end expensive cars messed up like that. Some with very low miles.
Bring back your stepmom skits! 😂
It's either a v8 or w12 engine... no v12 engines on Bentleys
I wonder how many of these cars are profitable without youtube money ?
Sam, that was a great video, I hope you do some more.
The only thing these auctions are good for is the purchase of vehicles for spare parts.
If that Cayenne sold for $11,600 how much could you part out those brakes for if you bought it for parts and didn’t want to rebuild it even if it was rebuildable ?
I'm not really sure if the brakes are compatible with anything else. If they fit other models then I would say you could get around $5k for the used set. If they only fit a Cayenne then it's a pretty tough market because who really wants an expensive brake set for an old SUV...
I bought the cayenne and daily drive it today. Recieved an offer of 10k for the brakes from a 911 owner. I declined.
That was loads of fun Sam. That S550 went super cheap. Wonder what the issue was.
Old german cars..so much to go wrong. The v8's had the nasty v8 cam teeth that would get worn out and cause major engine damage, never mind that air suspension eventually needs to be repaired or replaced with coilovers. Great luxury on the cheap, but when they break, run.

No longer worth it in my book.
Forget Alice in wonderland. Sam at copart is a hell of a lot more fun. 👍. Really enjoy how well presented, damage, prices and potential upsides.
I concur.
I like seeing what the cars sol for on video. Maybe Ratarrosa could help vTuned get parts for Samcrac's Ferrari.
He already has!
That's the Vett with the "Rear Wheel Steering!" Super rare, you should buy it.
18:19 love the “automatic” of those 2 accents😁
I think you mean W12, not V12, when it comes to the other spec for the Bentley.
The White MGA Mk1 by the Maranello. But for 10k the S2000 is a decent deal.
Red Cayenne proves that expensive brakes aren't any good if you don't use them in time to not crash into something.
To be fair, the carpet was the last piece to dry out.
I bought a 1 1/2 year old Aston Martin with only 700 miles half off what a new one costs. Wealthy always buy new. Second hand buyers still

Go talk to Tyler about how expensive thee things get to keep running. Anyone smart runs away from it once it needs major engine or electrical work.
The inside of that Bentley still looks pretty soiled to be honest. Did they pump it full of air freshener to hide the must?
I thought the "V12" was,in fact a W 12 in the Bentley (6ltr ?)

Yes, like the video. I would spend my own money on the very last Ferrari. You looked at that one looks like it would be the easiest to bring back to life. Also, it’s one of my favorite body styles of Ferraris.
My thoughts exactly.
MERRY CHRISTMAS SIR 🤓🇺🇸👍
Love these types of videos. 👍
