$2,500?!?!?!? How, where, WHAT? That's an insane price with 150K on it. I'm lucky to find a 200K+ mileage for 5-6K.
Super hard to believe tbh
You’ll be surprised my father just purchased a ‘02 Lincoln Blackwood (87K) (private sale) pickup truck in mechanically great condition but the outside and inside of the car was a disaster dude had a hoard of dogs he paid like 5k for it and paid a professional detailer like 500 bucks to clean it up! He attempted to clean it himself but vomited a few times 😂 It’s extremely rare, my father works in the plaster industry and is alway in wealthy areas doing work and it seems that’s were you can sometimes find good deals!
5-6k for 200k mileage? Where are those deals?
Salvage title?
Yes looking at it bet the maintenance on it was neglected
This price is unreal. I saw some with this kind of miles selling for nearly 10k.
He did it for quick deal.
Have you ever thought about using a pressure washer to spray out the floor mats once agitated? I’ve found It’s much easier to get all that dirt out initially, and then you can extract them dry
$2,500 for the GX470 is unrealistic. I just sold my 2003 GX with 230k miles and in worst condition for $5,500. My GX was sold in 3 hours of posting, I should have ask for more.
Probably auction for that prices and mile... with that mile usually is around 13-15k
Keep doing these flip videos, they are my favorite videos, i follow a few other channels that do only flips and its so fun and relaxing to watch :)
Glad you like them! More to come!
@@StaufferGarageYou should also check the date on the seat belt to the date of the car and see if they match. If the dates don't match, it means the car's been in an accident and the seatbelt replaced.
Omg the smell!!! We bought our used van for $2000 and had to drive with windows down the SMELL was awful! We detailed it ourselves just such a difference
Well done on getting rid of the smell
Always loved these older gx's very reliable hidden gems that drive great.
I seriously need another one now for myself! They run forever!
Instead of sucking those nasty mats it would have been better to blast them with extreme apc along with pressure washer. That would reduce lot of time and results will me much better.
Where I live that car would be 7-9k after it was cleaned up. I need to start buying cars out your way!!! $2500 buys a 2000 Camry that has been beaten into the ground around here.
Why don't you pressure wash the floor mats??🤷♂️
I figured that would loosen the dirt better.
Frame is trashed that's why you're not keeping it 😂
This was amazing. 👏 I love to see you making $ double time. TH-cam and flipping! More of these please!
Deal! Thanks for watching and I am also loving making these videos. Hoping it helps others make some coin too!
I love them videos but since u a Mechanic I would love to see you doo oil + filter plus spark plugs
$2500 is an INSANE deal. You did an incredible job as usual. Personally, I would keep that car it’s so nice (assuming it’s mechanically sound & been maintained). Mint Shine is the best stuff ever made. BUY MINT SHINE & change your life! 👊
Why don’t you show the outside also? It’s kinda half ass detail to be honest. Anyone can shampoo a carpet and steam clean a seat. Skill really comes to bringing the outside back to life.
And thats why you always check the engine/ transmission before buying a car. Anybody can "detail" a car and suddenly its worth 3x more ??? Yea right. Check the car guys.
How did you find one for only 2500 everyone that I've seen are over 10k here in Michigan
Oh, man, I totally would have scooped that from you for $5k! I'm actively shopping those right now even though it'll be a few years until I buy one, and people around here (eastern PA) are asking 2-3 times that for the age and mileage. I guess I know where I'm buying my next car!
Change that cabin air filter!!! I see so many details on interiors and it often gets forgotten and the car will stink esp smokers cars.
I highly doubt any running and driving GX is $2500💀💀 these TH-camrs always lying n shit 😭😭
Being a GX470 owner, I would pay the $300 for him to detail my ride. Great job! Great video!
How do you like yours? Thinking about getting a really used one and keeping it. I know the gas mileage is really bad but how do you approach that vs an SUV with better mpg's?
@PeakVibe TV howdy. Gas mileage is bad, but you don't go to big V8 SUVs for good gas mileage. Like any vehicle there are things you have to eventually fix, but I got it specifically for the 2UZFE engine. I would like to eventually get a smaller daily driver for gas mileage sake but will keep my GX forever. When a regional manager at Lexus tells you that they regret every day of their life without their GX470, then that's a sign. Good luck with your search. I have a few tips on buying if you ever need help. GX470 people are family and take care of each other.
@@RandomStoryTime02 I hear you can keep them forever and I sure hope that is true. Ever thought about the Ford Maverick hybrid for gas mileage?
@PeakVibe TV I've seen it. Pretty neat. I would to stay in the Lexus / Toyota family.
@@bcw68612-15 mpg is all I get with mostly city driving.
I learned the hard way not to buy a smokers vehicle. You can spray... Steam...scrub...ozone machine until the cows come home. You will never get all that smell out.
there is no way u got that for 2500, HAHAHAH, even bad running rx is imposible to fine for 2500
I couldn’t help noticing that the armrests were near perfect on the bottom but ruined on the top. Have you ever looked into swapping them from driver to passenger side which would essentially also “flip” them so the good side would be facing up?
The mint shine is an amazing product. You can clearly see it's cleaning power on those leather seats. Plus the combo of Biobreak and oxyclean on the carpet and mats! Truly satisfying to watch as always! Very rewarding flip!
Couldn't agree more!
Where do you get your vehicles? That’s a crazy deal on a gx470
The flips are my fav videos. Best of both worlds.
That's the deal of a lifetime. That car with those miles cost 20k in my state. Ridiculous!!! Great find!
This Lexus for $2500 with 152,000 miles and sold for about $5350, is actually worth $9400 according to KBB.
Something fishy here.
@@PaiadakineI'm assuming that not everyone is trying to make big money buying and selling, maybe that's why he sold it so cheap.
GX470 for only $2500?? You realize that this is one of the best SUV's ever made... great job cleaning it up but you should have kept it for yourself.
You keep selling out of product because it works that well. I’m trying my mint shine leather cleaner and conditioner on my car tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes!
WTF, where is the justice in this world?! In my country where average salary is roughly 300-400$ a month you can't find a GX470 cheaper than 15000 usd no matter what the condition would be, a total road-wreck would be over 10k.
$2,500 ?!?!? Where do you be finding these steals at like this ? The car buying market is in shambles right now
That’s odd, the only 470s I can find for under 10k are either collision damaged or are north of 250k miles. I’m gonna call BS on getting this thing for 2500.
You can have gotten more than 5350 for that. But great job
love the new flip/detail series you started, I hope to see more on the channel
More to come!
Curious to how agressive the detail brush is. A short bristle fingernail brush always worked best for me for steering wheels and armrest. Nice work
There are different options on amazon and co., ranging from VERY soft (leather and convertible tops) to really stiff.
2500$ eh... mine had 220k @ 9 and that was a good price. No way people are picking these up for 5-6.
If you find another one let me know I'll come and get it.
How come you don’t film the detailing of the outside?
I have almost 500,000 miles on my 2003 GX! Great vehicles .
I would’ve just remove the carpets and power wash them since you already had all the seats and center console removed
Nice job great deal! Did anybody win the coin guess from last week?
Nice job! Helps that the materials were high quality to clean up nice.
How'd you clean the headliner? Thats where all the real smokey flavor is at.
Love these type of videos! I do have a request..if you can show us how you remove the seats and I know all will be a little different but I don’t know how at all and I want to deep clean under my seats.
Thank you for your videos bro. They really are inspiring. Considering where you started in your TH-cam channel. It's really awesome to see your growth in views, knowledge, and tools. It's more work than people realize, you're awesome!
I think I would have just bought some weather tech mats and trashed the factory removable ones. Spending $200 when you can turn around and sell that for $9k isn’t a big deal
Exactly why bother cleaning the original mats
It’s sad to see someone living on this mess… knowing it was a smoker only stresses how important it is to avoid addictions, folks! Stay healthy and safe 🙏🏻
Those engines are bulletproof. I would have kept it. Lol Hold onto it for a bit and sell for $8k
First time seeing your content, well done and very impressive. Makes me want a steam cleaner, any recommendations for an entry level model ? Subscribed
Harbor freight! Its the same one I use
Don't you have to pay tax for that income you've earned?
5350!!! Thats a 9-12k car in the south
1. Keep the flip videos coming. 2. You ever worry something will fail mechanically after you purchase? I would love to try this but that would be my biggest fear.
It’s just the a part of the gamble. A good pre purchase inspection is key! Also minimize risk, if you buy something to flip don’t go driving it around or doing burnouts etc.
What about the exterior detail
These flip videos are dope! Love it. I want to drive it myself!
5350 theyre going for 15 to 20 grand in my áreas with 200 plus thousands miles on it i kept it
How? You can't find a gx that cheap and the price you sold it for? Wow. That was also a steal.
Those cars are expensive you get it cheap
Very nice. Did not have to touch the headliner to remove smokers "yellow" ? and the smoke smell gone?
The only other thing I might add would be to.swap all interior lights to led. Did that to my grand Cherokee and it made a huge difference.
When you put the leather conditioner on there after you steamed the seat just patcha from emperors new groove just peaceful watching the transformation
Light colored interior is the absolute worst. I've never seen a light colored interior not permanently stained from lack of care. At least the darker colors hide the stains more. My wife's old Outback was light tan leather and it was in good shape, but the car was owned by an elderly couple that drove it 60k miles in 15 years.
I imagine stauffer does mechanic work also
Was a diesel mechanic for years and my first videos on this channel were rebuilds and swaps. Full circle?
@@StaufferGarage 🎯
Oh this is really cool car even in our days. In Ukraine prices on this car starts from 19000$ in good running conditions and up to 35000 in perfect
More flipping videos but with more detailing of the process before and after cleaning it!
Great video! I enjoyed the vaccuming process. Keep up the awesome work👍
Besides the world changing, hope giving, beyond belief transformations, I'm always looking to see how you upgrade your equipment, that mytee center is amazing, man, but I'm just wondering are the less than $200 steamers worth not just investing to an vapor rhino or any high-end steamers? Either way, I love the videos, I just need to stop playing and get an starter bundle at least, also loving that variety of content you have started to put out for the past 3-4 years I have been watching, the flipping is an nice touch, huge reminder to an detailer that needs another outlet but also sell an package called the sale booster lol keep on being the best.
What are you doing with the old mighty 😂 I just don’t have the money to buy a new extractor was wondering what you were going to do with it and as usual awesome content always love you’re videos
A $2500 "its actually a Land Cruiser"?
Easiest Flip Ever
Bingo! Most people don't realize that and its easy $$$
@@StaufferGarage Great video. Its amazing what some knowledge and elbow grease can do.
best trade deal in the history of forever
@@alabama2uz 😆😅🤣😂😂sure bud
2k profit. Bro you’d only have to do this twice a month for $4k profit and that’s plenty enough to live off of if you’re single with no kids! 👀 Aka me 😂
BS not gonna believe.
One was on market place Seattle area 2005 gx470 $3300 with 330k miles dirty and lifted . Gone with 2 hours
You're lucky you can find these cheaper cars. Hard to find them here they would be nice for my kids
Where is that at? If you could find one I would 100% pick one up. They last forever
@@StaufferGarage im in Nebraska. Most people want a pretty steep price for used cars around here.
I had to go a couple states over for this one
@@StaufferGarage you went further west for this one? That kinda makes sense, then. Still nuts that it only sold for $5350.
That’s a CAP! 😂 Real talk: next time post up receipts, this type of videos just makes people dream and hope that they can start doing this (yes they can but 95% will fail just watch how many of this type channel is circulating) detailing and flipping cars is 80% manual labor meaning hard and long hours work matched up with skills …the dream is free they say but the hustle aka Manual long hours of labor isn’t. I suggest find ur true passion and if ur not quite sure yet get urself a degree then pursue ur passion but if detailing is ur passion? Go for it! I know utubers needs the views and likes so they don’t have to go to work regular jobs like most I just hope they keep it real at least.
That little steam cleaner u use @ Stauffer Garage is fantastic breaking up dirt from interior seats & carpet in SUV.
$2,500 does not sound correct to me. In Philadelphia, that year make,model, and mileage on that truck here would be 8-10 grand. Don’t believe me, look it up. They have a cult like following here, they last forever, only down side, they are terrible on gas, but then again I guess you are saving more not always getting it fixed.
SG will u ever considered collaborating with Detail Geek or Mad Detailing or WD Detailing or AMMO NYC ? Just curious
Propaganda... You will NEVER find a Lexus G series for 2500 anywhere typically, you don't even have to touch it to flip. Run it through the car wash and post it for 4 grand.
In Poland, for 5000$ you ger rusty frame and body. Multiple oil leaks. For 500$ you can buy rear metal brake shelds from Toyota.
This is so bizare.
The only interior aspect that is worth looking when buying LC120/lexus, is if the dash is not cracked. After this 5 second inspection you lift the car on the lift and begin to checklist the horror repairs. Not to mention in 2500$ car. In 5000$ car! I wish we have that kond of „repairs” in our clients even 10.000$ toyotas/lexus. Dirty interior… LOL
Bro I wonder where people find this car deals, I'm almost certain they are made up prices... I can't even find a 2001 Toyota corolla with 200k miles for that price.
Quick question, why wouldn’t you pressure wash the floor mats instead of going over with the vacuum several times?. Thanks for the videos!
I sold my 2003 GX470 with a bad tranny, 380K miles and every light on dash was lit……$3K last spring….people are literally nuts
Great flip, any reason not to take it a step further with fixing the outside. The rims could have been an easy repray to increase the look and profit on the vechicle. Maybe next one?
5k?? You could’ve sold that for 10k I swear. I would’ve bought that for 5k😭 some areas sell the before version for 5k
How did you buy it so cheap and why did you sell it so cheap?! I see these with over 200k miles selling for over $10k all the time.
$5350? . You gave it away. My mechanic has one. He raves about it. He is a certified Toyota/Lexus mechanic.
I’ve always been worried about getting liquid in places that would damage electronics. Maybe I shouldn’t worry about that anymore?
I’m worried how the car got this dirty in the first place😩
But amazing work🙌
Great car and great clip! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, will do!
Steamer is a life saver
Sorry I haven’t watched in awhile. Been super busy. Love your channel. This came out perfect.
Welcome back!
The cleaning is the point of this video.
Ain’t no way the price is real. I look at dealer auction prices for these wholesale. Not even under $6k. Unless Salvage with a blown engine
Big question, most states limit how many cars you can resell without being a used car dealer. How do you flip more than 3-4 cars a year? Are you a dealer?
Why don’t you show the outside also? It’s kinda half ass detail to be honest. Anyone can shampoo a carpet and steam clean a seat. Skill really comes to bringing the outside back to life.
I like these flipping videos along w just detailing. Great job 👍 🤌💖
For $2500 you basically stole this thing. Even if you did absolutely nothing to it you’d still double your money in an afternoon.
Super lucky find am from San Diego. Over priced cars even rolling shells are ridiculous prices. Good work tho
It seems you could have sold it for more, but it's awesome your quick profit!
I feel jealous about this V8 (2UZ-FE). Mine is newer LC150 but 2.7 2TR-FE only.
Did you fix anything mechanically? That’s a big profit for no mechanical fixes mentioned…..
