The 07-08 TL is the most popular years of that car, the transmission issues were mostly fixed and it was given slight updated inside and out. Great cars, it’d sell fast when fixed.
The 2004-2008 TL were the best TLs. Until the Tesla Model S came out, these Generation 3 TLs were the highest rated car ever in Consumer Reports. It was also my favorite body style TL.
That Kia has been under a high voltage power line shorting out. It's been showered with high voltage electrical discharge, that's why the exterior is toast but all the electronics inside are fine, they've been protected by the rubber tyres stopping the vehicle grounding.
The newer Cadillac CTS with the bullet holes has had the front end replaced before (or at least the grille) because the trunk, steering wheel, and engine cover, all have the current wreath-less emblem and the grille has the old wreath and crest. This cts should be a 2015. Only 2014 had the old wreath and crest.
The Vigor and the 2.5TL had the same 5 cyl 2.5 ltr engine. The Legend and the '95-98 3.2TL had the same 3.2 ltr engine. The Gen1 NSX had the same 3.2 block with different heads. I loved the Vigor and my '97 3.2TL was very dependable. Got rid of it at 300,000 miles.
Hey man i just bought my first copart car thanks to you. I am looking forward to fixing it and getting it back on the road. Keep up the positivity bro 👍👍👍
I had an 08 LaCrosse CXS that I used to commute to college (400 mi a week) I loved that car. It was a Prior Salvage aswell. Awesome comfy cars. 10/10 would buy one again
That BMW was a 750i M sport they come with a 4.4 V8 Twin turbo. Come factory with 450hp and 450tq. They are the ultimate sleeper. You will see one in my profile pic along with a M3 and 135i. On the day I took that picture we were at the races and got to see my friend line up against a built mustang (older one like 04) and the poor mustang owner crashed not paying attention to the end of the track which was a landing strip. My friend slowed down at the designated flags when the mustang owner was pissed and wanted to pass him then proceeded to send his mustang off the end of the landing strip into a sand pit then yard sale happened. Mustang owner was ok. That was at the 2016 racewars in Royal city Washinton. BTW love your channel Randy!
Those gen Chevy Malibus are known for the transmission to fail around 80 - 100k. I had one with endless issues at 45k - Mainly a consistent battery drain from the start-stop function. The Volvo is a Ford underneath - the electrics can be a problem at that milage. The BMW is beautiful, but the turbos make servicing really expensive, and newer V8 BMW’s have much more internal plastic parts that can start failing at the milage. I love the TL, but their transmissions are also known to fail around 110k-150k, honda’s auto transmissions are not that reliable when paired with the v6. I work in the automotive industry with friends at GM in the engineering/design department, GM knows about those transmissions - it’s the same one that is in the ford focuses of that era. Btw I love the content you are producing!
4.4 408hp twin turbo v8, 5s 0-60, pre-facelift models come with a 6 speed (except for the 760Li and 740d, that had 8spd), and facelift models only have the ZF 8HP, thr car can also have optional air suspension
Depends. Early models have exclusively the 408hp engine, facelift models can be found with a 450hp engine, but the 408hp one was still available on pre-2015 facelift models.
@@reverandhale863 stuff was blown under the hood as well. if you watched the video. and with the dents it has. I'm thinking not an electrical fire as an electrical fire would of blackened everything.
As to your comment on 0:48 - personally, I've had I think seven or eight Mercedes in my life (more Mercedes any other car) but I've also had a couple BMWs and I LOVE them BOTH. I also happen to think that it's totally plausible and possible to LOVE both Star Trek… and Star Wars (call me a heathen if you must, but that's my viewpointLOL :-)

21:01 DUDE why didn’t you look at that Alfa Romeo Giulia I would definitely look at that if it’s still there and also every GM product that has smart key if left in the car the car will honk reminding you that the key is left in the vehicle
Hey Randy, thanks for going around that Volvo XC90. It is my dream car and I look forward to buying one from copart. If you could find a blue one with the exact same spec as the one in this video, we could do business.
Suggestion for cause of Bio Buick: Was being used to transport a person or persons from a place where they had been injured by an unknown event. The Kia wagon looks surely like it was blasted by debris during a tornado. It IS Oklahoma, remember?
The kia soul I think is huracain damage and it may be damage from a chemical plant because my Corolla has it and when you come and go from there the hood it takes the same damage little holes that took the paint off..
That Kia Sol was real close to 100 mile an hour plus winds. Pea gravel is blown like buck shot. Replace the glass, spray some clear coat on it, and enjoy.!
I'd lay odds that the Kia Soul is tornado damage and what messed up the paintwork and exterior trim so badly was being underneath power lines that got blown together and sparked severely. It's a good car for someone who doesn't worry about cosmetics, just drive it as it is once it's had the new glass fitted, but with the amount of work it would need to make it work on a lot it's probably not worth it unless it is giveaway cheap. I suspect that one will end up getting broken for parts with the low miles...
Just a question, I'm from Montana, I have a membership to Copart. If I bid on a car in another location, will i need to have a broker to complete the transaction if I win the bid? Thanks,....yes, I'm a noob at Copart lol
I'd love to have that TL. Those are one of my favourite cars... but even the 2005s or whatever sell ridiculously high. I saw one with 250k+ and a failing transmission sell for $3000 around here...
Another suggestion would be if you could also do a video the older cars that Copart might have? You have showed us some? But if you could do a vid dedicated to older cars maybe?
Wuz up buddy. Love your videos. Even if you haven't done much of a rebuild. But love the copart walk arounds. Does Copart alow you to give out the starting bids or the buy it now price? It would be nice if you could say it for all the cars you show us. I know you have done it for some but if you could do it for all the cars it would be grate.
On the Acura TL VSA its stand for Vehicle Stability Assistant the lights most probably some bulb it does not working ... and the triangle is .... just a warning about those 2 things ...
Yeah these acuras & hondas of these years had automatic transmission problems. Had it been a manual it would have been a great buy. Hard to find stick Tl's where I live in Canada.
With a normal income at the sticker on that BMW you'd have to live in it lololol nice car though easy fix I guess👍👍 great video as usual though man loving the walk arounds
The color of your iris has nothing to do with the amount of light entering your eye. Light enters all human eyes through the pupil (The dark dot in the center of the eye).
On the Chevy Malibu it looked like it wasn't just the lower oil pan/sump that was damaged, it looked like the upper was also distorted in the same area and had damage to the joint where it meets the lower. Judging by how close the exhaust looked in the pictures I would say that that is a much more involved repair that might involve pulling the engine out or at least lifting it up off its mounts to repair. It's probably worth doing if you're doing it to use yourself and you're not putting a price on your time, but if you're looking to make money on it then it could be marginal. I also thought I saw damage to the transmission pan or casing which wouldn't be unusual on a car that's lost a fight with a kerb so it could end up needing a replacement transmission too. On the up-side, if it was bought for the right price then there are plenty of good parts there if it proves too far gone to repair and becomes a breaker...
Bullet Holes 26:13
You are all welcome..
Thank you!
lol thx
This channel has more walk-arounds than actual rebuilds
He needs a new garage or an abandoned towing service bldg. $30.000 -$350.000 sale
What’s it to you

And the alternator goes bad
@@mdx_vr yeah. That never happens on other cars.
Tony P I know but mine went bad at 35k
The Kia was caught up in sparks from some electrical fire. Maybe a power line
No, that wouldnt pit it
That Kia has been under a high voltage power line shorting out. It's been showered with high voltage electrical discharge, that's why the exterior is toast but all the electronics inside are fine, they've been protected by the rubber tyres stopping the vehicle grounding.
The Bio seat car was most likely a birth happened. Would make sense water broke up front then she was moved to the back.
The newer Cadillac CTS with the bullet holes has had the front end replaced before (or at least the grille) because the trunk, steering wheel, and engine cover, all have the current wreath-less emblem and the grille has the old wreath and crest. This cts should be a 2015. Only 2014 had the old wreath and crest.
I love the rebuilds you do and the walk arounds at Copart Thank you Copart for letting Randy do them
Acura also had a 5 cylinder in their Vigor. I had one as a kid. Great car and beautiful I thought like a old Legend.
The Vigor and the 2.5TL had the same 5 cyl 2.5 ltr engine. The Legend and the '95-98 3.2TL had the same 3.2 ltr engine. The Gen1 NSX had the same 3.2 block with different heads.

What is the spray bottle they are always carrying for?

That's a 4.4l in the BMW
Out of the M5 and also found in the x5m
maybe youve answered this question before, but why do you wonder what the damage on the car is when you can just look up the lot # on the copart app?
I have a 2011 750 that I love. They burn oil, but BMW will fix for free.
That Kia soul probably drove through a sandstorm.
That Volvo is worth it trust me, my XC90 has 40k miles and the seats were just ripped to shreds with regular wear. Get that Volvo
Hey Randy is a 1996 Toyota Camry a good car cuz im 18 and i don't know if its the right move or not
It reliable atleast. Can do some cheap mod to make it your own
Great cars
I'm with you on the storm. A tornado or a rapid change in pressure would explain the windows bursting. The windows in my truck blew out like that.
Could be from flying debris
I'm thinking tornado as well on that KIA. it has the dent on the hood as well. A maco paint job and it's good to go. lol

That kia is heavily optioned. Not a cheap one
Great car to fix. I have one with a panoramic sunroof with leather. Runs forever
Yes we went through the Cadillac last week
Kia caught in Texas dust/sand storm? Or tornado?
What happens in the Buick stays in the Buick
I have a 04 Chevy Colorado with a straight 5 cylander and I love it.
And I think at 24:37 that circle with ! In it means that the break fluid is critically low
13:55 Randy, how much you sending us since it didn't start? 😂😂
thanks Randy for showing a kia soul ,u the man.
If an Aston Martin ever pops up on Copart will you rebuild it like your intro?
This is the specs of the bmw 750li Model: 2011 BMW 7 Series

MPG: 14 city / 22 highway
Engine: 4.4 L V8
Curb weight: 4,641 lbs
Transmission: 6-speed automatic
Tire size: P245/50R18
Its not a 6 speed. This is the model with the 8 speed ZF
These always make my day better
On the South Side of Chicago, that bullet-hole Caddy would be a standard customization. Probably 3/4 of them are sporting this look. . . . .
gac914 it's mostly Nissan altimas actually. Lot of altimas got bullet holes at Chicago auctions lol
2nd collaboration with MR Mike, you gotta do more together
21:01 DUDE why didn’t you look at that Alfa Romeo Giulia I would definitely look at that if it’s still there and also every GM product that has smart key if left in the car the car will honk reminding you that the key is left in the vehicle
This Soul Kia is easy fixable. Some paintjob, cleaning and some window work. I think it's doable !
Hey Randy, thanks for going around that Volvo XC90. It is my dream car and I look forward to buying one from copart. If you could find a blue one with the exact same spec as the one in this video, we could do business.
Kia Soul is an awesome car - drove one for a week in Mauritius and it's very nice.
condidering the kia is at an Oklahoma Copart, I would have to say TORNADO damage for sure. LOL
Who else tilting the head when Randy gets the go-pro under the car? 😆
Suggestion for cause of Bio Buick: Was being used to transport a person or persons from a place where they had been injured by an unknown event. The Kia wagon looks surely like it was blasted by debris during a tornado. It IS Oklahoma, remember?
That looks like an Arizona wind storm victim I've seen them where they'll sandblast the windshield all the glass and take the paint right off the car
That silverado looks perfect it was next to the hyundai
The Ford Edge is another one I would go for too. Looks like another good flip car. Maybe good for Uber too.
Yes that Acura you was in my friend has one and his transmission went out so he had to but another one from a place we’re wrecked cars go
They are speed holes, they make the car go faster.
Simpson reference 😂
my guess in the caddy the tires got hit with a spike strip.
Sure interview the news guy, would be interesting, all his different job locations, who he has bumped into, and etc.
28:30 for the bullet car
The BMW has a 4.4 v8 with 445 HP 480 TQ. They say the 0-60 is around 4.3. The Kia Soul was most likely in a dust storm of some kind of.
The kia soul I think is huracain damage and it may be damage from a chemical plant because my Corolla has it and when you come and go from there the hood it takes the same damage little holes that took the paint off..
On the soul if you look the windshield washer fluid cap is open too like wind got to it
20:32 hurricane michael??sand, small rocks, etc.
Nice view bro I saw some blue black corolla beside u before end the vlog with mike I like the corolla actually a a student tho 😹
Love your videos man. Could you find some Toyota 3rd Gen 4Runners in the Copart lot? I'm looking for a good deal on one myself.
I believe the Caddi was in a police chase with the four flat tires (spike strips) and all shot up.
That Kia Sol was real close to 100 mile an hour plus winds. Pea gravel is blown like buck shot. Replace the glass, spray some clear coat on it, and enjoy.!
Randy? Do you have that number for the G-Wagon 550 you shown on your last video? She has me interested.

i know this video was two years ago but one of my friend had a v5 volvo xc90
Im pretty sure the triangle with the exclamation mark is traction control (vsa)
Absolutely correct...can be illuminated for a bunch of reasons.

At 3:38 the vehicle transporter probably used an old dry rotted strap to secure the hood...
I have this same problem blue eyes and everything outside is always bright
Someone was eating spaghetti in the Buick when it crashed
I wonder if they were listening to Lose Yourself
On the Acura TL VSA its stand for Vehicle Stability Assistant the lights most probably some bulb it does not working ... and the triangle is .... just a warning about those 2 things ...
The M sport logos on the car, says it has the M sport package on it. 4.4 liter twin turbo
Yeah these acuras & hondas of these years had automatic transmission problems. Had it been a manual it would have been a great buy. Hard to find stick Tl's where I live in Canada.
I'd say it's nearly impossible to find a manual transmission TL anywhere.
You Can Rebuild That 7-Series With A Rear Ended 7-Series(If You Can Find One) Or Maybe A Flooded Car(If You Can Find That Too)
@carfaxts daily Maybe Part It Out? Or Maybe Someone Who Have Been Dreaming To Own One.
WHy don't you carry a small jump start pack..or does copart not allow it...
They do not allow it
Not allowed
21:29 that car was probably in/near a tornado ok and tx gets them all the time
With a normal income at the sticker on that BMW you'd have to live in it lololol nice car though easy fix I guess👍👍 great video as usual though man loving the walk arounds
We make / made the shiny bits for those Malibu headlights!
The base engine in the 2005.5 up VW Jettas are a 5 cylinder.
Me: watching another video
Auto auction rebuilds uploads a video and I click off the one I am watching 😎
Certain models have the M package. Like 335i 540i 750il
Could the Kia Soul have driven though a cornfield at high speed
Last time i came this early my girlfriend left me
Maybe a building collapsed near the kia
You should also look at that Kia Soul. That would give some interesting content too.
I would say go for the Kia Soul. Could be interesting
The bmw 750li is s 4.4 twin turbo i have 1 the activehybrid model but its same engine
THANKS RANDY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
good content as always, I would for sure pick up a few of the cars, i think they can make quick flips. Curious to see how much that BMW goes for.
Interview with Mike would be cool.
KingGene thanks KingGene!
That engine on that is a 4.4L twin turbo. Hope this helps.
the Kia damage is sandstorm. common further out west.

Didn't you have some kind of explosion at a factory up there not long ago? That would cause that kind of damage.
How are you from Oklahoma and say oil normally😂😂
Very good question!
Auto Auction Rebuilds hahah thanks for all the videos keep it up!!
How do find the price of a car that ran through a previous auction if they 're list it?
Pay a fee and look up the auction number
I wish you'd mic up your guests as well. Didn't Rode give you another mic lav setup?
