      I also love that he decided to switch to net profit. I literally complained about it last video. This is way more authentic, big props to him. I think it'll be a big benefit long-term too. This series will have allot more interest and credibility IMO.

    I spend a fair amount of time in all the wholesale auctions. Its definitely a rush you end up with cars you sometimes didn't plan. And always say you will only get things that you looked at but thats not the case. It is still a very interesting business that I enjoyed while I worked at a small dealer. Everything you say is accurate looking for big dealer names etc. But its always a gamble. Nothing like walking through the lot finding your buy a little adrenaline builds up when you see it or when is a little better than expected. And that feeling, when you are hoping nothing is wrong but have a gut feeling. Thanks for the videos bringing back memories.

    @chrischrisssssssss 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your series is inspiring me to do this... Always wanted to do it and finally started. First purchase by me to do this was a 2005 Maxima... with a 3.5L... you at 5:20 "I don't mind Altimas the 2.5L motor was decent but I never buy Maximas or anything with the 3.5L motor..." Well I experienced why... Backstory: Bought it for $600 and spent $200 so far on it for fluids and tow home from where it sat. It was advertised for $900 but doesn't start. Thought it may just be something simple like a sensor or tuneup. However when I got to the guys place to come and check it out, he had accidentally locked keys in the car with no way to get them (only set). So I couldn't try and start it. Told him that I would take my chances and offered him $500 as is but settled at $600. Called my tow truck buddy and get it towed to my place to check it out. Got doors open and tried starting it - didn't sound right. No chug chug noise like normal engines make when they are being spun to start. Compression tested it - basically no compression in any of the cylinders. Thinking it is probably head gasket. Got the top half of the motor apart but it is a pain to get all the way to the heads. Not gonna waste my time.
    So... Part out a few pieces I can sell to get some money back then to Pick n Pull with the rest of the shell. Any suggestions what small pieces I can grab from it to sell that I can try and get some money back out of it? Kinda discouraging that my first try was a dud, but I will try again. Hope for better luck next time. Lol. Maybe I will do a youtube series on my journey...

    Like the fact you are taking some real costs in consideration. And these days happens it is part of the journey and makes this serie as real as it can be. Might not be fun for you wallet but it makes the serie better. Good luck!

    It looks like you're using the gamblers approach these days. That is more exciting when you hit the jackpot, but in the long run the house always wins.

    I respect this highly, we live in a day and age where losses are never shown on the internet and it really shows people that successful people do take losses but the main thing is to bounce back. Really loving the videos, keep it up bro 👍

    That's okay, lemons happen. Stuck with one from auction as well, tried to make it a daily but when we bought it we got it here in Colorado for 840$ 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. Transmission was bone dry when we bought it so I added new fluid and additives, turns out we find it has a bad alignment which end up being all front inner and outer links along with one outer link being previously JB WELDED...just some transmission slips and alignment issues.

    I've got a buddy who has a small car lot and he only sells Honda, Acura, Toyota and lexus. He basically said that it's just a lot less exposure to problems than he used to have. That reminded me when I saw the equinox because I was looking at one for sale and asked him what he thought and he told me unless it's free just walk away.
    Unfortunately most American vehicles are more or less junk these days. They just don't seem to care anymore.

    Love this video it's nice to know that car dealers have bad days too. I bought a Expedition and a from a private party masquerading as a Mexican dealer and. After I bought it and got the title I had to put $3,000 more in to make it run right. I might as well have gone to a little car dealership like yourself and bought a vehicle that's probably been gone through. Hopefully I will learn my lesson when I get my replacement vehicle I went in the next year or so.
