For all those haters that can’t seem to comprehend, hard work and dedication pays off in the end with a series of good decisions.
Well said.
Amen
Say it again!!
There's a fine line between the hater and someone with common sense. $170,000.00 for car manufactured by Stellantis when it's all said and done can be viewed as a fool's errand or can be worshipped. It gets murkier when the 170 engine can be purchased for $30,000 from Direct Connection and dropped into anything that can accommodate it.
Yessir
He showing you paperwork, and he transparent with everything about vehicles, and he giving you life lessons. Totally amazing most TH-camr won’t tell you no information
Indeed, I was laughing when he was talking about how these 25 year old TH-camrs with 200k subscribers are getting $200k cars for their channels because that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm glad he answered that finally.
Hey man, don't worry about the haters. You are a grown ass man who makes his own decisions who cares what these people think. I've been watching you forever and you are a smart guy who makes good decisions and doesn't make these decisions without thinking it through or positions himself to be able to make these moves. I'm glad I found your channel, it helped me position myself to buy my current challenger using Navy Federal. I appreciate all of your content and the amazing videos you do. I can't wait to see what you do with your demon 170 its going to be sickk.👊👊👊
This is a good man! Transparent, dropping nuggets for those that have the ears to listen and truly enjoys sharing amazing automobiles with us all. If you’re not where you want to be financially and your younger like me, now’s the time to make some changes and smart decisions and you can eventually have more cash flow to comfortably purchase new toys and just enjoy life. Love this channel and absolutely enjoy the person behind the camera. Keep doing your thing. Glad I subscribed!
Just watched your vid - I am 51 years old doing well as a sungle man, and I have a TRX truck, a Hellcat , and great properties- I mention that only because those things did no come easy, and watching you share things that are personal like financial decisions is commendable.
I hope the younger folks who watch this particular vehicle get motivated so when they are in their 50's, they will have the things they want...........cheers my man!!
Ive been with you since the R/T to Scat trade in and your content just keeps getting better and better with very solid financial and life advice. I've used your advice and it has helped me tremendously. Thanks Brad.
💯💯💯💯
This video made me subscribe you explained it perfectly if you chose to be on TH-cam with these expensive cars and sharing your life then you can explain how you get there
Hey OCMOTIVATOR every time I watch one of your videos I get even more motivated to save money and spend it wisely. I 56 years old I have a 4 bedroom home 6 cars and a nice little nest egg.I love your content keep it 💯. Your new Demon 170 is AWESOME. Please keep the swinger it's a keeper. If you have haters you are doing something right. One of my cars is a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 and I love it.
I'm happy for you and especially Racer X for all the trouble he went through in the past on his cars he was trying to get. You didn't have to but thank you for sharing something so personal. I didn't get the 170 but I feel even better about buying my widebody Redeye Charger. And WOW the haters I got after less than a week of purchase. I'm also 53 and been at my job for 35 years. Its served me very well and its something I enjoy doing. Bottom line is you inspired me, not that I wasn't going to anyway, to enjoy the examples of my hard work and making sure it simply made sense financially. Never have I ever tried to keep up with the "Jones". Just trying to go as far as I can go. So again, Thank you for sharing. You're a huge inspiration and again congratulations on your Demon 170.
Loved your video. Truly refreshing. We bought a new '21 pitch black Challenger T/A 6.4. We finally got the point to afford this luxury. I am very happy that your in a position to acquire your vehicles. You worked hard, you had a plan. We can only afford our payment because it sold at sticker. Our dealer only sells at sticker. Excellent trade in $$$ and the kicker we got 0, Zero % interest! Everything was aligned! I love the 170 you possess! I trust people like you and RacerX. My Challenger was partly a retirement gift. Since the new Challengers came out we looked at them yearly. We love the car and creature comforts and it's power. Lastly, no, I agree you don't look 60! Keep up your great content!
As always, your transparency and life advice is refreshing Brad.
Brad your hilarious intro killed me, seeing you talking to your cars like I do. I appreciate your upfrontness and openness with all the figures and terms. I don't think anyone else would have been. Totally happy for you and can't wait to see your content with your Demon. The only thing that worries me for you is that you said State Farm insurance, I only bring that up because of being Totally screwed over by them on a Dodge pickup that was only 8 months old when it was stolen and totaled and they didn't even give me enough to pay it off. So I was left with owing 6000$ on the truck. When questioned about why the difference they said they were only paying what bluebook value was, and if I wanted to be covered on the total of the loan I should have purchased GAP? insurance. I had never heard of GAP insurance and they never even mentioned or offered me GAP insurance. Luckily 5 months later Chrysler financial contacted me about said truck and if it had been totaled, I said yes, they asked why I was still making payments on it, I told them because my insurance company didn't give me enough money to pay the vehicle off. They told me to stop making payments and that they would reimburse me for the extra payments I had made because they carried GAP on all of their leases. So Chrysler financial saved me while State Farm screwed me. The crazy thing was that my wife at the time worked for SF and never brought up GAP insurance either. Sorry to ramble on but that was the first thing that popped into my head when you said SF insurance. You seem to be a very good business person and I'm sure you probably have all of your bases covered, but I just wanted to relay my experience with SF insurance. Congratulations on the Demon and looking forward to more of your videos. Wishing you and your family a safe and Merry Christmas.
When I was little I did this with my hot wheels. Now I do it with my real cars.
Good video. Thanks for sharing. I wanted a Demon 170 but was not paying over msrp. How Dodge handled the sales and how the dealers screwed everyone left a bad taste in my mouth. My first challenger was a 500 hp srt manual. I found it hard to drive and bottom line was I wanted a hellcat. I drove from Las Vegas to Carlsbad CA because hellcats were too expensive in Vegas. I bought a 2018 hellcat widebody that had 2500 miles on it for 77000 cash, (I got 35000 trade for the srt) and walked out with no payments. I love the car. I have never taken it to the track, I've never driven it in track mode and I've never launched it. It's an automatic so I don't have the shift issues anymore. I drive it everyday but I don't beat on it. I would love the Demon 170 but I can't justify the purchase. It's great having all that power, but with it comes great responsibility. Sorry for the ramble. Maybe I can pick up a 170 on the secondary market because there's going to be a fair amount repossessed.
Definitely appreciate the transparency. I have the same thought seeing these people buying these cars they ostensibly cant afford and give no info. Drives me nuts. But you are absolutely right about hard work and being where you are and then doing this on the side. Shame on people for being jealous. You earned it. Only thing i would recommend is moving out of California, then you will feel 10x better and wealthier, lol. Looking fwd to seeing the demon in action!
Thx. I would move if I could. But for me it’s about relationships and family and all of ours is here. So for now and until we’re a lot older we will deal with it. But at least we’re in Orange County so it’s a little less crazy here. Just expensive.
I think you have one of the best channels out there. I also think it's pretty cool of you showing & telling what it takes to buy these car's & what you pay, even though it's none of our business. Anyway, congrats on the car's wish you & ur family a great & safe Christmas, God bless brother 🙏
Super cool for you to educate people on how to make their money work for them. Amazing video OC. Hope that you and your wife had a great Anniversary
I'd admit, I'm one of thise people who have watched and not subbed but I did after this video. You was truthful on your videos and you don't see that very much on YT. It's good to see a channel that still motivates people even if you do get smart-ass comments from people. Keep doing your thing, you'll get the 100k subs!!
Thank you for your honesty and sharing this purchase of your Demon 170. Just purchased a 2023 Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak. What a huge difference in my insurance. The 2022 Challenger Hellcat WB. The 23 HC had doubled in price for insurance. Thank you OC for this great video. To bad haters have to be haters.
Im 35 in healthcare I make over 100k each year I had my demon ordered and delivered to the dealership but with that ADM I was looking at $150k and they wouldn't budge so I had to walk nd to tell the truth I'm not upset the car was nice but I didn't want to feel that sting 2 years down the road when some faster newer cooler shit come out... to each his own
By the purchase price being around the price of a spec out hellcat you will be able to easily get that car off your hands in the future for 100k plus. That purchase price was a huge W
Thank you for taking time to be open and honest with the low people. I know I'll never get there but I can still dream that my 2007 Magnum RT may one day be transformed to a 392 Chargnum! Crazy, yeah!! And for the haters (they will always be there...) I enjoy your info.
OCM said this was “doable for the average Joe” since day one and he wasn’t lying. If this was my goal I could’ve done it, too, and credit goes to guys like him for inspiring confidence. My credit is better than his and borrowing power allowed for the loan. Catch there is, for the average Joe there’s just too many other expenses flying around to justify a collector car soaking up so much cash flow volume. BUT, it’s enough just to know it’s possible! In the meantime, I’m still enjoying my WBSP that I got at MSRP back when there weren’t any on lots. Drive on, ladies and gents!
Dude you are a realist. Good on you. One of the better people to watch on here.
I tell you from our little Country New Zealand.. the toys we see the gangster's and what not available to them in USA is mind boggling. I've worked 6 to 7 days a week most my life and a house is out of range now.
I am a firm believer that before you buy a expensive depreciating asset you need to have a few things:
1. Own a home
2. Own investments
3. Have a 401k Roth/traditional
4. Have a emergency fund ( No $1k fund is not a emergency fund).
That said mostly that own these expensive cars sadly don't have what i just listed. They will die on the walmart floor just to flex.
OC congrats on all your success. I hope many follow your example ❤.
OC we all know your channel is gonna explode with this demon. Youre gonna be one of the only people giving us REAL demon content. I cant wait 🙏🏽 you deserve it
You did well on this deal! When you look at the markups people are paying and what most dealerships are charging for these things you really came out well. Regarding the loan terms it doesn't matter what term you take if you know you will turn the vehicle or pay it off ahead of the term. I follow the same strategy when I buy vehicles as I turn them frequently.
Dude I could do this off one pay check.. but sadly that’s IF I could find one without the insane mark up. Thanks for the motivation and remember brotha, you don’t owe anyone an explanation but we’re truly grateful to have you feel that way in a sense to educate us! Stay blessed man
Congratulations on the Demon and it all makes financial sense to me for your type of business. As a CPA, the financial illiteracy of the general public is quite high and I’m sure the illiteracy percentage is even higher on TH-cam. It’s not surprising given the lack of financial education during elementary school, high school, and even higher education institutions.
O man! I feel exactly like you man. I am 51 and said "you know what, it has been a long time since I had a Mustang" my wife said if you want it get so I did. I wouldn't take anything for the last 20 years and my family. After getting this car, I remember what I have been missing in a good sounding V8, just a joy to drive for me! 😊
O forgot to mention I just subbed to your channel for being very transparent and helping me understand!
Thanks
Insurance is what gets me, I've got a couple of Dodge Charger SXTs in my family. They are the V6 grocery getter versions, and the insurance company calls them sports cars.
They cost more to insure than our GMC Yukan.
I can't imagine what it would cost me if they were scat packs.
Thank you for being diferent and honest. Have a great time with your 170. I always enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Brad, your transparency is utterly inspiring and refreshing. To know a guy like you is out there on a platform inspiring the people around you is comforting. I initially came very early on to your channel for the Mopar and absolutely stayed for the down to earth individual you are. You can tell you a true to you, because you wish everyone in life the best. People like you are motivating, OCmotivating. Thank you. Happy to ride with you in this incredible Mopar content and even more important life content. You make me want to put another SRT next to my TRX. SoCal resident here aswell, so if you see a white Rex. It may be me. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I appreciate you and your Channel. So many haters. Glad to see you didn’t pay over msrp. So many don’t want to believe those who aren’t getting screwed. I bought my Z06 at msrp and was called out. Don’t really care I’m at the age I’m also set. Keep posting great content.
Just found your channel. I really appreciate your honesty and transparency. I respect and admire people like you. I just turned 42 and making $180ish a year and one day hope to be able to do things like you.
You can tell you got money, you’re sitting in the car running letting that gas go in California 🤣🤣🤣 proud of you boss man, keep moving forward! People on the internet are always going to talk shit, there’s no consequences for their words here lol
Nah facts im over here wondering if he has it running in track mode instead of eco😂😂😂
Another awesome video, Brad. Not needed and certainly not required, but your transparency is refreshing. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄👍💪😎
as a 18 yr old soon to be 19 in 2 days, this channel been motivating me how to get ahead and what to watch for.
Thanks for being so transparent and love the new content!
Thanks! See you’re not blocked 👍👍
Yep... this is one of my pet peeves with other channels that I won't subscribe to that gloss over all of those details about their car purchases. Thanks for educating us on how the sausage is made. You share your success without rubbing it in peoples faces. I actually subscribe and follow your channel even though I'm lukewarm about these cars. Love 'em... but not for what they cost. Would probably put that kind of money on the best C8 I could afford... Whatever.. Luv your honesty and your channel, that's why I look forward to your videos.
I appreciate the honesty! I am raising 3 of my grandchildren so I have to live through you. They eat up most of my retirement instead of buying my dream car, but they are definitely worth it! Keep up the good work!
I just purchased a new 23 rt with a 5.7. Couldn't quite afford the scat pack. Probably plenty of power for me. Doesn't need premium either.
Enjoy the videos. I'm in no place to be giving out financial advice. If you're happy, that's all that matters. USAA is higher than others that I have dealt with.
Thanks for the compete honesty Brad! GREAT VIDEO! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for putting the info out that you can get that new dodge for what you expected to pay and not be taken advantage of by the greedy dealers!!!!
I know I’m outlier, but I don’t understand the typical car buying public. I’m seventy five and very comfortably retired. One reason for that comfortable retirement is I have NEVER had a car loan. My 2018 Mustang GT is only my fifth car. I have always purchased new cars and maintained them properly. Typically a I drive a car for ten plus years. Right now I’m struggling with myself regarding buying a new Dark Horse Mustang. I can easily afford the car, but, refuse to pay ridiculous dealer “Addendums”. My local Ford dealer has a “USED” brand new Dark Horse on the lot with a $25,000 markup! Sooner or latter I’ll probably by a new car, but, it will not have an “Addendum” and it’ll be a cash deal! Happy motoring 🤠
Guys I know we all want our dream car.. or any type of nice car.. theirs nothing wrong with not being able to truly afford your dream car.. please don’t put your self in a financial mess for a car.. if your rolling in cash like that do it.. but if your not.. DONT
I really appreciate your honest details. I'm not on your level but in my own way this was very helpful. Thank you
Hey Brad take it from a guy in the car business you pulled it off 100% perfect ain't nobody else could do any better than that can I bring in the automotive business for 45 years
I've watched you since you had a couple hundred subscribers bro and I'm still supporting my boi... keep doing yo thang homie.much luv brother 👊🏾🤙🏾
I agree with other comments earlier made. This is an excellent example of transparency. Unfortunately, for most of us, this is a very expensive compulsion and out of, at least, my reach. However, I’m almost 73 and this compulsion is way beyond the time expectation I have to look forward too. The loan terms of your deal were well thought through. I was skeptical at first about the 96 month loan term but understand your logic. I’ve always purchased vehicles with 24 and 36 month terms to avoid paying any excess interest but have paid them off usually in a year. I will continue to watch and support your channel. I wonder about your rationale about reselling this vehicle especially after your video emphasizing the ridiculousness of keeping one of these vehicles for a later time as an investment?
Thanks! And as I’ve shared in prior videos, a limited production, numbered car, that is more than just stickers or a name, have a proven chance to hold their values. The key is getting the car at msrp with no mark up. Where people will get hurt is when they pay the mark up which is basically paying the dealer for all of the future depreciation up front that may take you years to get back. The 2018 demon at msrp was under $90k and they’re still holding from $130k-$150k after 5 years so it stands to reason that the 170 will settle down to about $135-$150k while possibly pushing the 2018 down just a little. This means that the chances are good that I’ll be fine on this car even if I drive it and enjoy it. Worst case scenario I’d be the cheapest D170 out there if I sold it for $120k which means I’m pretty insulated from depreciation. I wouldn’t have bought it for the prices people are paying right now at $200k+. They’ll likely never see their money back.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you for being transparent. I've always wondered. Hope you have a great time with the 170 & can't wait to see the new videos of it. God bless
Autovlog vibes in massive amounts 😂 one is a smart individual, the other one… lives the hype and risky financial life. Great video!
This is probably the most interesting Challenger video on TH-cam.
I just subscribed to your channel and man I can tell you a good and honest person just by the way you talk so screw them haters thanks for the motivation brother
I give you major props for sharing this information for us❤
Nice video, I watched in 3rds to get to the important data. I picked up a modded 2017 SRT392 in January. My 870 credit score meant jack to the banks, 9.1%. I traded in a 2019 V6 Impala that had less than 20k on odo with 320 mo payments for 491 payments (on a 6 yr old car!) 475HP is more than enough for me. Insurance went up 23 bucks a month with Allstate. I plan on refying loan when the rates come down.
Love your honesty and sharing your numbers. Enjoying my special order 2023 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody that arrived in October…AT MSRP! For anyone interested my Dodge dealership just posted a Demon 170 (TorRed)…AT MSRP! It’s just too much car for my age. “Old Man with a Scat Pack”
The spec of your car looks perfect! Glad you’re enjoying it and your content is great! 😄👍👍
The REALEST TH-camr to EVER do it! 🙏💜🙏, Haters gonna hate
Who cares if someone in their 20's can afford a 170, why are you so concerned about how they can afford these cars or how they are paying for it? IMO, materialistic jealousy is a wasted emotion, be thankful for what you have because.... in the waiting line of life, for every person in front of you... there is probably 100,000 or more behind you.
You missed my entire point. Does this happen often with you? My point was that so many of YOU are being sold a lie here on TH-cam about how people buy these expensive cars and they rarely explain or share how they’re doing it. Some are way over extending themselves in hopes of getting rich on TH-cam. I’m trying to help people understand the economics of buying cars and not to believe everything they see online. My entire purpose is to help and educate people in a world where there’s so many smoke and mirrors. Sorry my point didn’t land with you and you took it as I was bashing them. I thought I even said I admire these young hard working guys who have found sustainable success at an early age. But again. You missed that point too. Feels like so many are looking to be triggered when there’s nothing to be triggered about.
You're one a very few transparent TH-camr's. I'm retired and finally we could afford our new '21 6.4 T/A. Great trade in from covid and
ZERO % interest rate. We both work, grown children and it fit the budget. Also an excellent insurance payment due our great driving records. We probably waited a good 4 years. So I personally enjoy how you share your details. Keep up the great channel.
Professor OC Motivator opened up the classroom on this one!
Same thing happened when I ordered my 1320 - MSRP went up before it was built - but I had my purchase price locked in. The dealer doesn't lose money because the car's invoice price is set when the order is accepted, not when it is built.
Fact is anyone can work hard and make money... I am ashamed to say but I dropped out of HS in 10th grade, started a small Lawn company and now own 3 large companies, own multiple properties, multiple cars and feeling great... My point is with drive and dedication anyone can make real money and do productive work... TH-cam unfortunately has created lack of good workers cause everyone wants to record themself to make money... OC not you as your work and do this on the side so you are filling a need with your company and I applaud you for that...Congrats brother... I'm 48 now and couldnt ask for a better life and I've earned every bit of my empire...
SUBSCRIBED. Your honesty and transparency about the Automobile Game is truly appreciated! Hope your channel does reach 1M+ and you keep bringing us entertaining and motivating content 🦾💯💰💰💰
I always put your videos as a background when i drive to listen and learn from you 🙌🏼
Thank you for all the financial advices.
Awesome 100k on the way keep informing the people with solid advice
You do you brother! It’s your money so don’t know why anyone would even care! It’s your life and it doesn’t affect anyone but you. Congrats on the car! Enjoy it in good health!
👍 I HOPE YOU READ THIS COMMENT. I watch all your videos and appreciate what you are doing. Word of advice, if/when you get that car on a drag strip, bring along someone who knows what they're doing with high HP cars on a drag strip, like Racer X for example. Most people don't realize how quickly things can go wrong with a high HP car. I'd hate to see you hit the wall or crash the car due to lack of experience. There's no replacement for seat time in the car under power. The most important thing is START SLOW AND LEARN THE CAR. Enjoy, and have a great day! 👍🤘
Thank you for sharing your experience
It isn’t an easy decision to spend 70-100k on cars
You have a beautiful collection of cars! You're living the dream.
I appreciate your straightforwardness. Finances and how to budget for these cars is great to talk about, no matter what trim level you're going after . 💯😊 BTW, USAA SUCKS. They pretend to be military friendly but they're really no cheaper than your average insurance company.
I relate! Young people are in for a rude awakening if they think success is only a matter of time.
You and I think alike. I've never let any of my loans go to the end of the terms. I bought a house and stretched the loan out to 30 years, but I paid it off in 4 years. My payments were low enough that if I got into a financial bind, I could still make the minimal payments without an issue.
great job on info because numbers do matter to a lot of people.
Remember if they "Hate" on your accoplishments then you are doing it correctly! Love the demon! Im envious.
I'm a little older than you are, OCM. When I was a kid and had gotten old enough to know what lying is and what a liar is (5, 6, 7ish), sometimes my mom would tell me something and I would call her a liar. She had fun with it and would go back and forth with me. She would say "no I'm not" and I would say "yes you are". One day she seemed to have had enough of my shenanigans. She told me only a liar thinks someone is always lying to them.
Thank you for the info. I know it’s outrageous the car insurance. Mine for the Scat pack is $2284 for 6 months. Of course my deductible is $500. I probably should look into raising it. Thank you
That’s ridiculous!
Thats armed robbery
I pay 75.00 per month
Just to add i pay $200 a month
1. Dodge Charger Scatpack 2022
2. Chevy Camaro SS 2021
3. Honda Passport 2022
USAA Auto insurance was great before the pandemic. I also have a perfect driving record and have been with them since 2009. I was paying 300 a month for a Subaru WRX STI. I bought myself a 2023 Hellcat brand new, and my monthly insurance went to 1k a month for both vechiles. I also dropped USAA and went to State Farm and for both vechiles. I am paying 450 a month now.
Some insurance companies will also pro rate you based on miles. So make sure you ask every question to your insurance company.
I also dropped usaa they raised my insurance $1k more every 6months because they said my redeye was no longer a new car.... my car is 3yrs old with only 9k miles , to me its new. I went with All-State and insurance was cut in half
I have a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 383/4 speed, and a 1970 Challenger R/T, also a 383/4 speed. Both are completely stock, and near mint. Not absolutely perfect, but close. Both are numbers matching cars. Obviously they are not top of the line models. No 440s or Hemis. But either one of them is worth more than a Demon 170, and they continue to appreciate. They are insured as collector cars by Hagerty, and driven very little. Both are paid for. I take them out early on Sunday morning when there is very little traffic on the roads and drive them around for a little while. Both have 14 inch (yes, 14 inch) wheels and normal (for the time) ground clearance, so they can be driven on normal roads, over speed bumps, and into driveways. When I bought these cars, I did not pay ANY extra charges. No tax, no dealer fees. Yes I paid title and registration fees, which in my state are based on the model year. After the car is 20 years old it bottoms out. So on a car that is more than 20 years old, you pay about $50 to transfer a title and register it for one year. That's it. It doesn't matter what the car is worth. I paid cash for one of my cars, I traded another car and some cash for the other one. No loans, no interest.
I was in the military when I was 20, because I couldn't find a job that paid enough to even support me when I got out of high school. I was in my mid 40s (and after a divorce) before things finally started going right for me financially, and I was able to buy expensive cars, motorcycles, and even had an airplane for a while (I lost my pilots license due to a disability) I recently turned 65, and am looking at selling some of my vehicles. I want to convert them into cash, or real estate, or something less finicky, rather than leave them to my kids, who won't have a clue what to do with them. Unlike a Demon 170, which means absolutely nothing to me, these cars have value to me beyond what they are worth monetarily. They are rare vehicles, and they cannot be replaced. I would actually rather lose money on them if it means getting them into the hands of someone who will appreciate them and take care of them. There are rich idiots out there that would just love to put computer engines in them, and 30" GHETTO wheels on them. I'd rather crush them than let that happen.
I have been a hot rodder and drag racer all my life. I started working on other people's cars at around age 10. At around age 22, I was out of the military, and got a job with the fleet services department for the city I lived in. I got a car, and started building a hot rod. I wanted to see what it would do, so I took it to the drag strip. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I immediately fell in love with drag racing. I've been doing it ever since. I build my own cars. I don't spend a fortune all at once. I do not chase higher speeds and lower E.T.s. that can get really expensive really fast. I race for fun. I have probably a little over $30K in my current race car. I built it myself from a ratty 1985 Camaro I found on Craigslist. All I used from that car was the body. Racing is a continuing expense. Parts break. Parts wear out. Paying someone else to fix a broken race car is not rational to me. If you are not a mechanic, and can't build/fix your own race car, you probably shouldn't be racing. Yes you can buy a race car, either brand new, or one that someone else built. But I don't see the satisfaction in that. What racing is, to me, is basically testing what I built.
BTW, the value of Demon 170s has been dropping like a rock (as I expected) during the past 4 months, so this guys plans may be affected by that. When you buy a vintage classic car, that is very unlikely to happen.
Absolutely a great vid. It's very informative and inspiring.
Your Smarts is What makes Your Channel Great.
Congrats brother ! Finally. Proud of ya. Funny, “one thing you can’t do is commit tax fraud” 😂😂.
Hey be safe and enjoy it. We are waiting for the OC vs RACERX race!
Make it a pay per view race. With your expertise business sense and racers connections it would be something the networks might want to do. JUS SAYING👍. Don’t do it for free. The proceeds could offset a few months of your monthly payments.(maybe more)👍.
Again BE SAFE! 🙏
Honestly, I like seeing the cars on many channels and could care less how they got the car or how they are going to pay for it. It just motivates me to keep my modest car nice and clean, and I add a few mods here and there.
Awesome OCM truth facts that's most appropriated the info.
Brad, I seriously don’t Think You Should get a Demon 170; Because That Is a purpose built Drag-Car. You are a Daily Driver like myself. You will lose all of the Drivability that You are used to. Racer X is a Drag Racer. You should just keep what you have. If you need more Horsepower, Put a “Power Adder” on what you have. But Then This is Just My Opinion. You do what makes you happy. Love your content and honesty. I have learned So much from you and I am Older than you. Keep up the GREAT work!
Sir nothing but respect here wow I was curious and you have answered all the questions. 1st off I admire your transparency during your delivery a man with integrity and a lot of money but smart while spending and I get it a mutual compromise by 1st making the wife happy then enjoying the fruits of your labor. Lord help me to keep this state of mine if i ever became wealthy love you dude a wise man I'm willing to model
I sold a car Saturday, after giving my deal to finance, I sat down with my customer and asked what insurance does he have, Progressive he says. Perfect, I gave him a picture of the vin sticker and he did insurance in 10 minutes. Easy.
That was an excellent breakdown on the reality of owning something like this. I watched the entire video.
Enjoyed this video very much. Sharing is caring. Merry Christmas. Enjoy yourself. I'm 69 and had to get me one of these V8's (2SS Camaro) before there gone, so I know the feeling. It's great.
How is Navy Federal charging you 9% when you can get 5.0% with USAA! My jaw hit the floor! I subscribed because you are honest.
Thank you for the video, It’s important that people realize the true cost of these “luxury purchases” In case you are not aware, He should from the “womb to the tomb” Preorder and changes with the price, from the dealer. Than the government raises the price on a tax. Than dealing with dealer issues (which are all legal) Also, finance and insurance terms. He done the work to be in a place to get the Demon at a very reasonable price.
Congratulations on your sweet Demon170!! 🤟🏼, that Green Challenger with the shaker hood is sweet too!!!
My opinion:
Only colors to get a Demon in: Black, Red, or Orange 🤟🏼
Oc motivator appreciate the 💎 you dropped in this video you really put a lot of things in perspective 👌🏾
Good for you Brad!
I worked hard to buy my WB Scat this year and it’s amazing, also my wife is now into spending time enjoying it too.
Life is short take care of what is important and enjoy life.
I purchased a 2023 challenger gt and it costs me 700 a month. Love the car
I love it! Good stuff Mann. Hopefully by time I’m 55 my house will be paid off and bought a nice muscle car
You are one lucky SOB to be able to have such awesome cars. Kudos to you!
Just subscribed! Schools need to have teachers like you this is what kids need to see and learn explaining Intrest and equity and what hard work and being smart with your money is all about not just showing your nice cars and doing burn outs like a rap video it's all about working hard investing your money kids look at a car like I can buy that not thinking about down payment all the fees also Intrest rates the insurance and how there credit score makes a difference love the video
You’re awesome man. I love all your videos and thank you for sharing because you absolutely did not have to. I am learning a lot and I appreciate the content keep em coming 💯🖤
After watching 3 of your videos I subscribed, I like the the honesty & this is how it is attitude. I do the same with car loans, I stretch them out, there paid off in a 3rd of the time. Thanks for my entertainment. Jim from Australia 🇦🇺
My wife switched to State Farm and has substantial savings. Right now, I have home and auto with USAA. I'm considering a switch, though, because USAA is jacking up my home insurance. Thanks for sharing about your savings with State Farm. I may take my wife's advice and make that move. My grandmother always said, "A penny saved is a penny earned." These days, every penny counts.
Love the content , as long as ur satisfied w/ ur purchased..& as long as u know u can afford it is what matters....✌️...
