    My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.

    The last new car I bought was a 2000 Mustang. Drove it 17 years and sold it to the young high school boy for $1,500, He checked my oil. air. washed my windows and checked the radiator fluid at the gas station . He always loved that car and was very nice to check it each time I got gas. He was helping that old lady in the hot red Mustang as he sure didn't have to and most gas stations won't do it for you. When I asked him if he wanted to buy it and told him how much he almost cried. It feels good to make people happy and it was his first car too.

    An old friend of mine sold cash cars only on his lot and none were over $3500. The guy got rich with this business model. He would always be very transparent on anything wrong with the vehicles and customers appreciated his honesty. He lost his lot due to rezoning. He made enough to retire early. Keep doing what you are doing. You will be very successful like my old friend.

    I am dealer in Georgia, I have been doing the same exact thing for more than 20 years. He is absolutely correct, the average price of a cash has increased but is still doable. The hardest part is finding them, selling is the easy part. I try to find older cars with really low miles, I only sell 5-10 a month but it's just my son and I with very little over head. I have many customers that bought have multiple cars, I am proud of what I do and get a sense of satisfaction to give someone a good product

    You're a hero for selling cars to people who desperately need a car but can't afford to go into debt. Single mothers, students, and just your average wage slave. Half of the country can't afford a $400 emergency. Cars last a lot longer than they used to but many are quick to discard them for the flashiest, newest truck. I have noticed that most of the private lots have closed. Dealers are only interested in late model trades.

There are millions of cars that have plenty of life in them but little demand because they are older, less stylish cars. Maybe the paint is faded or have a couple of dents or scratches. For the right price, there is a market for these cars. He's found a niche market that few sellers want. He's laid it out, less than $500 net for each car. He deserves that and more for the hassle of shopping the auctions, changing the registration, preparing and selling the car.

They wander around looking for something to fill the gap in their inventory like sedans vs SUV's, pop the hood and make sure it still has an engine, turn it over if they're lucky and then tow it back home for some grease monkey in the back shop who works by himself to try and get them all drivable by the end of the week.

    Great content. I purchased a 2001 Mazda MPV for $2,000.00 it had around 137,000 miles it's my daily driver. The dealer says I should get around 300,000 on the motor. I currently have 207,000 on the motor. Never have had anything go wrong with it. I keep it well serviced. The only thing that I have had to fix was the window motor on the drivers side. I also spent $1,200.00 on the paint job. Nothing else. I realize it's not a cool car. But, I'm cool! It does what it was created to do. People loose their identity to a vehicle. " YOU ARE NOT YOUR VEHICLE"! You are a separate, the vehicle is created for you, not you created for it! People pay more for vehicles than they do for things like Health, family and home! It's okay if that's what they want to do. But for us I like to put my money to work for me in places where I can see a return. I also have inherited MOMS 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, so I don't ever plan to purchase another vehicle in the near future.

I drive one to work every day, and I have complete peace of mind about its security...the driveline is dead-reliable, but the exterior looks like the 7th level of Hell, but I keep all important functions working. Meanwhile the new vehicles I see at work get dinged, bent, scratched, broken into, and their owners look depressed as they pay their very large payments.

    MORE POWER TO YOU! Dealer here with 25 years of experience. I've tried all different business models over the years. BHPH, Special Finance, highline and the Cheap/Cash junk like you sell now. You almost have to shift with the economy actually and keep pace with demand. However, I'm shocked that you can find these cars cheap enough in your area to sell them under 5k. In my area....no dice! They're pushing 200k+ mileage cars through lanes with bad engines and transmissions and still demanding several K's for them. Volume is key in your market.....BUT, what I've found when I did this business model is that the recon costs were significantly higher and time consuming....so I shifted to mid-range cars. WE ALL KNOW.....that no matter HOW CHEAP a junker is.....customers believe they should all be PERFECT and ISSUE fREE and LAST FOREVER regardless of price....LOL. These entitled dreamers are all looking for that HOLY GRAIL car with Low miles, NO issues, ONE OWNER, New Tires and Clean Carfax.....and one that NEVER breaks down or it's YOUR FAULT...lol!!! Customers in NC must be a special breed different than my clients....If the mileage starts with the number "2"....they walk away on my lot. You must be selling super high mileage cars with tons of issues....hidden or not! I know cars and build custom cars on the side and there is NO such thing as a Good, Cheap car. Period. Overall...glad to hear someone is making it right now....business is tough and customers love to see dealers fail for some, smooth-brain reason!!! Good Luck!

      No, unfortunately. That would hurt him as well, just like everybody lol. A crashing economy would mean less people to buy cars period, and two, would increase the demand and thus the price for these cheaper lower end used vehicles (thus reducing the profit a dealer could get/sell them for... which he said Himself in this video). So, it'll 1) make cheaper cars harder to find and/or buy and 2) reduce a dealer's profitability.... meaning lower volume/sales numbers as well as lower profitability per vehicle sold (in addition to just the depressed economy/people as a whole, reducing the market size)

That's a big difference!

CA makes it impossible for working people to buy a legal vehicle but I keep my prices low where I make enough of a profit to keep it moving but affordable for the working class to not get ticketed and towed and harassed.

I usually make sure everything works and is safe, clean it real good and see what happens. People come and tire kick and want to pay less than I picked it up for before repairs. I usually price at KBB private party middle of the road and people try to cut that in half. Never lost money, but have had to let two cars go for what I had into them.
