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.
I ALWAYS give Good Kids a Deal PERIOD. Dumb 18 year old I BT car from a local for $100 they fixed it too. My Dad stayed out it I was TOLD he had it sold for $300.. I Thanked his kids like 300x's during the years a Fine person WW11 vet 8th Air Force..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's because not everyone has half a brain in their squash. Going into debt for a depreciating asset makes stupid look smart. Yes, everyone knows the bank really owns that shiny new car you're driving. They also know you borrowed $6. from your sister to put enough gas in it to get to work today. Just sayin'
Lmao my wife was driving my truck and wasn’t on the insurance for it, her car broke, was an emergency thing, had a small fender bender, her fault, broke a guys headlight, we had to pay +$2500 for the part to replace the fucking headlight unit in the other persons car 😂💀
Not even touching on the fact that he’s probably busting his ass to keep this business running, but fact that vehicles economics has changed, corollas we’re 15k out the door 10 years ago, now are 30k - 40k with markup and paperwork. People are financing these things. This causes used car prices to skyrocket. Even adjusted for inflation, these prices have become unattainable. The fact that he can offer this product at under 5k, he’s found a nice little niche. And that’s what people need now.
North Carolina is awesome for making you get the car inspected before you can sell it. I'm sure that prevents ALOT of problems. Every state should do that!
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 would buy a car from this youtuber but in most cities there's no one nealy as fair as this guy. If you're only a few hundred miles away, it might be worth coming to him
He has a shelf filled with transmission anti-slip and bottles of head gasket sealer. Then precedes to tell us they don't work. Then why is the Shelf full of them?
yep i looked at a car that ended up having an oil leak the the dealer tried to tell me its not an oil leak if theres not a puddle sitting under the car when you move it .....
Wow! So impressed with the complete transparency provided. You definitely will not get this at any other car dealership. Amazing to see $0 doc fees. No hidden fees/ costs. You deserve to be successful when you treat customers so well.
InnWA. There is wiggle room. Here In Idaho it's Law, u must pay doc. stupid fee for a little paper shuffling. So what u do is bargain em down that $300.😅
I chased the shiny car lure for 2/3 of my life. Now I have driven the same Jeep for 10 years and will hopefully never buy another. Not having car payments is a great feeling. Buy cheap, pay cash, and don't skimp on maintenance.
03 civic and 95 explorer in my driveway. Run like they'll go another ten years. Sure it's a few grand here and there to renew but then no payment and only oil changes for years on end.
This is the best video you've ever did. Honestly is the best policy. Tell people what their getting and what you've done if they think you don't deserve a profit or as is as is tuff.
Man, you’re running a noble business. It’s crazy how expensive used vehicles have become. Between cash for clunkers, and the post covid inflation, it’s nearly impossible to find a cheap car that isn’t falling apart
I love my $5k 06 Camry. I wrecked my nice 2016 Laramie and when my ins totaled it I went for a cheap go-getter, and can't be mad at the interim results. Thanks for providing folks with this option.
06Camry is famous for resilience and reliability with basic replacement of worn out components. Water pumps should not be neglected causing overheating and engine failure.
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.
He's just flipping junk cars from auction. Degreases the engine bay so they look clean, puts in some additives to stop the leaks and smoke so that they pass the test drive and then they probably break down on the way home or by the end of the week.
@@ticenits1926 I suppose that if that is what he was doing, that information would get out and the business would fail. 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.
@@rst90274Disagree on demand. There is a LOT of demand for older used cars in good running condition. It’s just so much harder to find a decent cheap car that’s well maintained and not completely rusted out.
@@rst90274 those millions of cars being traded in are done so for a reason; they're clapped out and the owners are trying to get rid of them because maintenance is costing as much as a new car payment. He's not making 500 net per car, he's making double his money on each one. It just takes 1 day to shop at auction. 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. Never buy a cheap used car from a dealer, especially a dealer who's parking lot is made of dirt.
Oh you are making my day. 5K and under means that I have more opportunities to drive different things while I still can, now that I am retired. Thanks man
Awesome segment of your show, thanks for sharing this, this is what is missing in today’s society, honesty, integrity and transparency, God bless you brother, really appreciate it🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great Video! As a car dealership your first point is spot on our avg cost has doubled in last couple of years. But the main reason for us at least is when you get in that $5k car range they usually have a lot of issues and we’d prefer not to have headaches of customers coming back complaining.
I’ve been working in car dealerships since 1991 and I will agree with what you say about their methods of operation. I remember my uncle back in the late 50s had a lot like you have now. He loved it, made enough money and satisfied the need of many good people who can’t afford these normal car dealerships. Good job man, keep it going.
Govt says you must have abs, airbags, back up cam, etc. Despite all the mandates, the amount of people killed on the roads doesnt change much. So all it does is raise prices.
@@bb-remyThe trucks aren't the problem. Its the foreign dopes having street races or drifting around and crashing into stuff or stealing cars and committing unalivicide on innocent people.
Deeply appreciate your work and how you make cars affordable to the consumers. Not many used cars dealer's do what you do and that makes you a great person. Keep doing it right 👍
I like this concept cash, under 5K, no BS. I remember a used car lot in Detroit where a guy can buy a junker to take hunting or drive back and forth to their factory job without worrying about having their vehicles scratched, wrecked or stolen.
Beater cars. The kind you put the bumper sticker on that says, "Don't laugh. My other car is a Lamborghini", or pick your favorite! 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. The closer in to a city center that you work, the more you need beaters.
A lot of dealers won’t post their prices for the vehicles on their websites either, it’s a lot of call for price, definitely another point that separates you from other dealers
How they make ALL of their money is financing and fees. I've seen outrageous fees and terms over and over again, to the point where one simply deals face-to-face for a vehicle ( private party ). The local dealers have massive unsold inventory as people can't afford $15K+ for a "beater" or 50K+ for a new car.
@@elcomansevenduece Especally the predatory "Buy Here, Pay Here" Dealers, who spend $2500-4500 at auction, "Sell" it for 5-10k, take 1500-2000 down, jack up the interest to where after 6-12 months, repo the car becuase the owner couldn't afford the payment, and repeat the cycle with 3-5 customers before it gets totaled in a wreck, but they don't really care, as after 2 or 3 times of this cycle, they recouped their costs.
You're about to sweat out other dealers in the area with this dollar tree type move. Money is getting tighter and ppl are tired of getting gouged left and right; especially for used cars. You're a lifeline to certain ppl right now looking to get mobile for a decent price. Good shit man
He always will beat them on price, though, as he bought in when it was cheap ( 13 years ago was at the bottom of the last recession ). He has a gravel and grass lot, a simple building, and that's it. Most new dealers have millions into it, now, to get started. A major dealership? tens of millions, minimum. Why he can do this is (my guess, likely accurate) is that everything is paid off and he owns that little piece of land. Now, you'll get gouged 8% and half a million to get just a piece of land that large. So you literally can't sell for that cheap.
Im almost 40, all the cars I ever bought was ALWAYS Craigslist, face to face from people. For just simple cash. ALWAYS avoided dealers for the exact reasons you mentioned. Glad ure 1 good one out there.
@@t.terrell7037Meet at a reputable mechanic shop so they can check it out before purchase. If the seller has a problem with doing this then don’t buy it.
@@t.terrell7037you should always bring it to any local repair shop for an inspection, costs like $150, if the seller won’t allow that then you dodged a bullet anyways.
@@t.terrell7037 My friend told me to hire a mobile mechanic, otherwise ask the seller if you can take the car to a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection. If they aren't okay with this, it may be a sign something is wrong with the car they don't want you to know about.
The real killer these days is insurance! My last car was an 08 corolla and minimal liability was over $100 a month... and this is coming from a guy who is 31 with no accident history last 10 years, loyalty discount, and driver course discount. Now my new Altima is like $1359 every 6 months and keeps going up!
I bought my 2010 Mazda from a guy like you in Florida and they fixed everything that was wrong with it put new window motors in both front doors I have driven that car for 4 years with no issues at all It is a great car I paid 4500 he wanted 5200 great deal. You are doing God's work bro.
I have a 2010 Mazda 6 that I bought new... only has 35,000 miles... people tell me to sell it since my other half has a 2019 Mazda (19,000 miles) I use since he quit working 2 years ago... I refuse because it is a great car, and if anything happens to one I have the other ready to go...
Boy, you straight ballin! You stayed true to your business model and now the cars look good, they're affordable and you are helping people. We rocking with you
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
What's in your inventory now for under $5000. I also want a cheap reliable car. Don't want anything fancy, or is a gas hog, or a "spaceship on wheels". I hear Honda Fit is good for that?
North Carolina isn't close to Los Angeles. However, I like the heart, and intergrity that you, and your staff have to run a clean business. I wish you tremendous success!!!!👍👍
I live in North Carolina and i haven't found him yet....keep looking for clues but he dont leave much to go on & the camera never gives any street name or buildings.. Would love to know where he is
Brandon, you're a straight up guy that I can honestly say and you're right, lots of people do hate car dealers. Congratulations on your partnership with Zach and Car Edge. I'm sure it will be a total success!!
I wish I had you as my boss for the 29 years I spent in the business. You have respect for your customers, your staff and yourself. I wish you all kinds of success
You seem like such an amazing guy. God bless you man. I wish more people were like you. I want to drive down to NC and buy a car from you just to support you.
There’s more to this channel than just our hero loitering at new car dealerships. This video is so well put together; main story, side stories, editing, music, etc. are all top class. I’m not in market for a used car, I’m not even in North America but this is just great entertainment.
Man I don’t know you and I don’t live anywhere near North Carolina but I love your business model. I feel like my local area could seriously benefit from this kind of dealership. My local used car lots charge up to $1500 in misc fees it’s ridiculous. Happy to see there is still an honest and reasonable dealer out there.
Make money my friend, because YOU and YOUR STAFF are a great blessing. The world is so corrupt, and here you are posting real prices to pay, and the best product you are able to offer for a reasonable profit for your efforts. Be BLESSED!
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.
Smart! Many don't get the notion that the best daily driver is a paid off vehicle. Why finance $800/mo. on a daily driver so you can show off to everyone. By the time it's paid off, you have over 100k miles, serious depreciation and the car is not the "in" car anymore.
Bro. First of all, I love your channel. For all that you do for us as the consumer to see your side of things. Secondly, I wish you were here in Denver, CO I would be buying all my vehicles from you.
You are a genius giving people what they want for a reasonable price and making a nice profit in return now that's a win-win situation right there I hope you open a lot of in New York City if you do I will be the first customer there a big shout-out from the NYC
i been saying it for years.a crashing economy is your best friend.especially now repo's are at an all time high.people still need to get to work cheaply.pretty cool to see you on ray & zach today also.
crashing economy would be falling prices.. then when fac fail and stuff gets hard to find price would go up. not trying to argue just seeing ppl say this when reality is different
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)
Thumbs up to you for revealing so much of your business and its history, along with understanding how to better manage an auto sales business to make money without screwing your customers
Thank you for servicing the community. We need affordable cars as a single mother. It's very vital . I will be coming to you for daughter's 1st car. Thank you for being honest and transparent. Keep up the awesome work. Blessings.
This is why we've bought from Hertz the last 2 cars. They have the same sales model as you. They have newer more expensive cars but both times my husband and I walked in test drove the car we were interested in. Then wrote a check and left with our car. There was no haggling. It's awesome! If we lived in NC we'd definitely look at your vehicles. We don't care what we drive. It just has to move my family and our stuff and be reliable. That's all we ask. I love the fact that you see that.
This is fantastic. Many people have always disliked the fact that for some reason buying a vehicle from a dealer isn't just like buying a TV or some other retail item where the price you see, before tax, is what you pay. I really appreciate your business model and wish you many more successful years in business.
Hi Brandon, When I see that big sign at a car dealership that reads "CERTIFIED USED CARS," I have to laugh. Many people believe it means the dealership has thoroughly inspected the cars and made any needed repairs. That sign means that all the vehicles on the used car lot are certified as being used. That's a big difference!
Smart! I was a mechanic for over 10 years and not once did they suggest inviting mechanics to auctions. I love what you guys are doing keep up the great work
If i can scrounge up 3k or 5k ill definitely take a short roadtrip to get a decent car to take back to Georgia so i can get back and forth to work. Definitely need one since our 2017 Jetta tsi is getting up their in miles and its the only car we have for me and my moms.
Out Here in CA......there are a TON of guys doing that. They buy them pretty cheap with an engine light on. fix the problem. and resell it for 500 to 1000 profit. That is it.
I do this. Get them smogged in palmdale for $100, even if you delete the light on the reader you still get screwed as you know, could be anything for a failure. 4 lightly used matching new tires, oil change, recharge the a/c, make sure it's safe and reliable and keep it moving. $600 at auction, sell for 2k. 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.
My HONDA was an auction car. Imget 15 mi.s from dealer n lite comes on. Luckily it ran o.k.,200 mi.s from home.. turned out to be a hard to get at lil part. Cost$300 to get replaced. No trouble since but worn out brakes. $350.
This guy here is good to the core, I can tell. I'm sure he's doing as well as he says and as long as he stay true to himself, humble, and treat people right (selling cars at reasonable prices w/o any hidden agenda), he will continue to excel. This is a good guy here!
In 2009, I paid $4,500 for a 2006 Ford in a used car lot. I still have it, and drive it weekly. It has been very reliable with only oil changes and fluid flushes. I paid for one set of tires. I call it old faithful.
How do you find them if you hypothetically don’t know anything about cars? Most mechanics can’t stop what they are doing to go and inspect a car if I find one I like. 😢
I live in NC and would like to know the location of your business, we are going to help our Grandson get his first car . Your place and business model really impressed me.
Hello Brandon. I can't express enough just how valuable and important you are in your approach and business model as a car dealer. Car buyers NEED what you are doing now more than ever. Making customers happy and satisfied is the best thing a car dealer can do. You literally earn lifetime customers doing the great thing that you are doing....
Everything this guy said in the last 2 minutes of his video is spot on. Kudos to you, for the honesty and transparency. What a way to make a living, it's gotta be hard work!
Over the years I bought many many cars from private dealers who operated same as you. I got great affordable cars. My driveway would be cluttered with them. Only sold them to clear the way for more. My last dealer retired for medical reasons. He was a super mechanic also. Keep up this righteous life's mission!
I really do love this video. Watching the process from auction, to selling was awesome. You really are, one in a million. This business model is absolutely rare!!Blessings to you, your family and your business 🥰
Hi European here. I bought a 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 in 2022 for about $1500. Has been running great and I've spent about $1500 more in the past two years for preventative maintenance. Honestly the best purchase I ever made and I intend to keep it until the wheels fall off.
Good job bro.. you and Alex are a dedicated team and passionate about what you do.. this is why you’re doing really well. It’s business + social service + aiming to change the preowned car market and make it more transparent.. all the best for the future.. ❤
I would never use the word "cheap!" I would use either the word "affordable" or, (and this is my favorite,) "inexpensive!" Either way, you have indeed found a niche and I wish you all the best!
Bowling alley seating in the office is perfect! Your $5K and under dealership shows value to the consumer and they know it's a good deal, especially given the crazy car prices today. Very refreshing to see a dealer who knows what most people need.
Makes a lot of sense to me. I've only owned 2 vehicles and I bought each of them based on terms of reliability and affordability, and whether or not they were suitable for my needs. High volume low margin sales seem stressful, but you seem like you're making it easier for people who may just be starting out or have lost everything and they are starting to rebuild. Major props for that. Good luck in your endeavours.
I've been in several businesses for many years successfully and I really like your presentation which I think is very genuine, for your ethical outlook on business and treating people. What you have going on there, upfront pricing, no bullshit fees, all in the back of my head. Only thing I might do different, I would have more of my service area inside, repair detailing. Primarily for comfort of myself and staff. And if I needed to be it inside I've got a lighting to process cars 24 hours a day. Just put on a second shift. Volume volume. And with a better working environment, I think you get top notch people. First thing I did at my other company was to air conditioned a 10,000 ft² warehouse, I had zero turnover in 5 years. Best of luck continued success brother
Thank you Brandon for being a use car dealer that sell good quality car with transparency. Looking forward to coming by and getting a use car from your dealership soon 😎😎👏👏
Picked up a couple sedans to flip recently (mechanic by trade) cleaned them up nice, minor mechanical repairs to make them safe and legal and posted them. It was like pulling teeth to get $3k for clean title smogged cars ready to go. Can't imagine doing it regularly.
It can be. I do the same thing in my area. 3 to 5 cars a year. I try to make $500, $1500 if I'm doing heavy line repairs. 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.
The only difference is he is set up commercially to do it, he's clearly sunk tons of time, effort, and money so that he doesn't deal with the marketplace treatment. He created quite literally his own marketplace which in of itself is genius
Thanks for helping people. Every body is just about getting money from people. And taking advantage of them. And sometimes that's a good way to get hurt. Because some people will hurt you
Bought a landcruiser 1998 swapped for a clapped out cb125e 2017 for over 1k and 3800 or 2800 and 1994 for $4500 w 6 months rego 4wd blue marlin raptor coated orange ugly, had em for a while and sold for $6200 for both. Biggest loss learnt
The $1000 goes to the business - salaries, rent, accounting, taxes, utilities, transport of the cars, detailing etc, etc. I think he mentioned he gets around $400-$500 in his pocket.
What a refreshing video, thank you! Greetings from Greenville, NC.. Lived in Statesville, NC for a couple of years in the early 90's. Fished Lake Norman a lot as well. Thanks Brother, your the man!!!
Awesome! It’s about time to straighten the buying car process! If it’s transparent and easy like buying a bottle of coke, I think many consumers will buy and sell more frequently. The market will have lots of movement!
North Carolina folks are lucky to have you guys around. I don't have such luxury in my vicinity, so I buy my cars on my own risk and fix them (I am not a mechanic, but I can use a wrench or two), so far so good, spent $4000 total in car pay (repairs not included) in last 8 years. It's very impressive we can still find "surviving" work horses of the previous generations, god bless engineers who designed and built those, mostly Toyota and Honda, but Ford did well too at the time, Lincoln aswell, Subaru maybe...
I have a 20 year old Subaru Outback with 170k miles on it. Still runs perfectly and haven't had any issues at all, other than regular maintenance (brakes, tires, oil, etc). Maybe I got lucky..
It takes a gentleman who cares about others to go out and sell and collect less then most others, knowing he is helping the community as a whole. The fact that your mechanic is on it and ensuring the cars will not be lemons and if maintained will be a great investment is another great thing. If I could, I'd buy from you, but being in Vancouver Canada I still can send you thanks and continued success!
Want to open a branch in South West Florida? I like how forward this business is, I bet we could do some work here, people could really use someone not trying to retire tomorrow.
I helped my 16 year old daughter find her first car that she bought with her own money that she worked for. It was freaking eye opening what cars cost these days. I haven’t bought a car in ages. In Western WA anything under $5,000 is totally beat to hell. We waited months because I refused to allow her to spend that much money for junk. We got lucky and she got a 20 year old Camry in great shape for $4,100. But value in the car market is almost impossible to find these days.

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.
I remember when they used to do that as part of their service, now it’s a thing of the past. Love your story!!❤
I ALWAYS give Good Kids a Deal PERIOD. Dumb 18 year old I BT car from a local for $100 they fixed it too. My Dad stayed out it I was TOLD he had it sold for $300.. I Thanked his kids like 300x's during the years a Fine person WW11 vet 8th Air Force..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

There’s a huge buying market for under $5k. You’re doing a good service for your community. Not everyone wants to go into debt for a car.
That's because not everyone has half a brain in their squash. Going into debt for a depreciating asset makes stupid look smart.
Yes, everyone knows the bank really owns that shiny new car you're driving. They also know you borrowed $6. from your sister to put enough gas in it to get to work today. Just sayin'
I absolutely agree.
Combined my wife and I make over 400,000 a year. We have one vehicle. A 2006 Ford F-150 5.4 with 202,000 miles. Debt is slavery my guys.
Interest is high,around 10%.
Agree, but what is the quality of the car? Is it safe? How much will I have to spend lots of money for repairs
He's doing so well because he's not trying to charge insane prices like $2000 for a tail light.

North Carolina is awesome for making you get the car inspected before you can sell it. I'm sure that prevents ALOT of problems. Every state should do that!
This is a great policy to have! I wish this were global!
I applaud and approve this
I will talk to my Mayor and Governor concerning this for my state of CO
Good dealerships in MD will do that, but sketchy private sellers often don’t
😂😂😂😂, For $50 there’s always an inspection place that will lie.. i learn this my first yr in nc
I really appreciate what you're doing for the community brother.
Fair and transparent. No dealer nickle and diming.
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.
how many years ago was this? 3500 20 yrs ago is not 3500 today
Had an old friend do the same, he went about it the same as this guy. Only he never maintained the vehicles, only sold broken crap.
@@JordanLeaheyo
Different strokes for different folks, maybe he was selling broke crap to mechanics who could fix it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Man, times have changed so much within the last few years. $5k back then could’ve gotten you something fairly nice, but nowadays it’s sketch.
I would buy a car from this youtuber but in most cities there's no one nealy as fair as this guy. If you're only a few hundred miles away, it might be worth coming to him
Where is he, I need a car?
Naw', A $5,000 car isn't sketchy, it is just older and higher mileage. Just stay away from deals too good to be true.

He is in the Charlotte NC area, but he has never disclosed his location, because he wanted this channel to help people, not for him to sell cars.
It is very rare to see a actual honest car sales man these days.

He has a shelf filled with transmission anti-slip and bottles of head gasket sealer. Then precedes to tell us they don't work. Then why is the Shelf full of them?
yep i looked at a car that ended up having an oil leak the the dealer tried to tell me its not an oil leak if theres not a puddle sitting under the car when you move it .....

Wow! So impressed with the complete transparency provided. You definitely will not get this at any other car dealership. Amazing to see $0 doc fees. No hidden fees/ costs. You deserve to be successful when you treat customers so well.
InnWA. There is wiggle room. Here In Idaho it's
Law, u must pay doc. stupid fee for a little paper shuffling. So what u do is bargain em down that $300.😅
I chased the shiny car lure for 2/3 of my life. Now I have driven the same Jeep for 10 years and will hopefully never buy another. Not having car payments is a great feeling. Buy cheap, pay cash, and don't skimp on maintenance.
So psyched to see this- I’m picking up my ‘21 Trailblazer tomorrow morning and intending for it to be my forever 🚙😌
With you on that-I’m still rocking a 97 Silverado and a 2011 Santa Fe… I’ll drive to him for next one!
03 civic and 95 explorer in my driveway. Run like they'll go another ten years. Sure it's a few grand here and there to renew but then no payment and only oil changes for years on end.
@@WishFulfilledState-zy4lmDO NOT SKIP OIL CHANGES. And good luck with that engine
04 silverado and a 2002 xterra.
No payment since 2007.

They run great.
This is the only car salesman I’ve ever seen who I actually like. You’re doing great work man
This is the best video you've ever did. Honestly is the best policy. Tell people what their getting and what you've done if they think you don't deserve a profit or as is as is tuff.
Honesty IS the best policy and you are right. We certainly need more honesty among car salesmen, too.
No L in honesty. 😢
@danbooher5843 really that's your problem with the statement.
people on YT rarely show their real side. this was fascinating to me.
Man, you’re running a noble business. It’s crazy how expensive used vehicles have become. Between cash for clunkers, and the post covid inflation, it’s nearly impossible to find a cheap car that isn’t falling apart
These kids dont wont even know. For a couple thousand you could have a fairly nice vehicle now its a rust bucket with major issues.
I love my $5k 06 Camry. I wrecked my nice 2016 Laramie and when my ins totaled it I went for a cheap go-getter, and can't be mad at the interim results. Thanks for providing folks with this option.
Wise buying TOYO but they ride like a covered wagon.
@@Mmm...yummymummy yeah, camrys do feel really "boaty" if that makes sense
you went from american made to toyota. very smart, now you're hooked on reliable quality.
06Camry is famous for resilience and reliability with basic replacement of worn out components. Water pumps should not be neglected causing overheating and engine failure.
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.
Single mothers 😂
He's just flipping junk cars from auction. Degreases the engine bay so they look clean, puts in some additives to stop the leaks and smoke so that they pass the test drive and then they probably break down on the way home or by the end of the week.
@@ticenits1926 I suppose that if that is what he was doing, that information would get out and the business would fail. 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.
@@rst90274Disagree on demand. There is a LOT of demand for older used cars in good running condition. It’s just so much harder to find a decent cheap car that’s well maintained and not completely rusted out.
@@rst90274 those millions of cars being traded in are done so for a reason; they're clapped out and the owners are trying to get rid of them because maintenance is costing as much as a new car payment. He's not making 500 net per car, he's making double his money on each one. It just takes 1 day to shop at auction. 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. Never buy a cheap used car from a dealer, especially a dealer who's parking lot is made of dirt.
Warms my heart to see such an honest young man
Oh you are making my day. 5K and under means that I have more opportunities to drive different things while I still can, now that I am retired. Thanks man
That's me too. Life is wayyy too short 😢to buy all the cars u want to have.
Awesome segment of your show, thanks for sharing this, this is what is missing in today’s society, honesty, integrity and transparency, God bless you brother, really appreciate it🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great Video! As a car dealership your first point is spot on our avg cost has doubled in last couple of years. But the main reason for us at least is when you get in that $5k car range they usually have a lot of issues and we’d prefer not to have headaches of customers coming back complaining.
I’ve been working in car dealerships since 1991 and I will agree with what you say about their methods of operation. I remember my uncle back in the late 50s had a lot like you have now. He loved it, made enough money and satisfied the need of many good people who can’t afford these normal car dealerships. Good job man, keep it going.
I do not want backup cameras, navigation display, PC screen, etc., etc. I just desire getting from point A to point B. Heat and AC are OK.
Govt says you must have abs, airbags, back up cam, etc. Despite all the mandates, the amount of people killed on the roads doesnt change much. So all it does is raise prices.

@@wturner777 dont blame them. Quite a few people have been killed by exploding takata airbag inflators
@@dvaritek434 that shit is so stupid plus they keep making big ass trucks and suv for people who don't know how to drive

Deeply appreciate your work and how you make cars affordable to the consumers. Not many used cars dealer's do what you do and that makes you a great person. Keep doing it right 👍
I wish there were more dealers like you. Yes it annoys me when prices are not on the cars. I usually won't even stop.
Love this so much! You should grow to other locations cause this is needed EVERYWHERE.
I like this concept cash, under 5K, no BS. I remember a used car lot in Detroit where a guy can buy a junker to take hunting or drive back and forth to their factory job without worrying about having their vehicles scratched, wrecked or stolen.
Beater cars. The kind you put the bumper sticker on that says, "Don't laugh. My other car is a Lamborghini", or pick your favorite! 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.
The closer in to a city center that you work, the more you need beaters.
A lot of dealers won’t post their prices for the vehicles on their websites either, it’s a lot of call for price, definitely another point that separates you from other dealers
I like the little Dealer who puts the price on the 🚙 car.
No price dealers aren't looking for cash buyers
I am in Georgia! I would like to come to your lot, where are you and what is the website
How they make ALL of their money is financing and fees. I've seen outrageous fees and terms over and over again, to the point where one simply deals face-to-face for a vehicle ( private party ). The local dealers have massive unsold inventory as people can't afford $15K+ for a "beater" or 50K+ for a new car.
@@elcomansevenduece Especally the predatory "Buy Here, Pay Here" Dealers, who spend $2500-4500 at auction, "Sell" it for 5-10k, take 1500-2000 down, jack up the interest to where after 6-12 months, repo the car becuase the owner couldn't afford the payment, and repeat the cycle with 3-5 customers before it gets totaled in a wreck, but they don't really care, as after 2 or 3 times of this cycle, they recouped their costs.
You're about to sweat out other dealers in the area with this dollar tree type move. Money is getting tighter and ppl are tired of getting gouged left and right; especially for used cars. You're a lifeline to certain ppl right now looking to get mobile for a decent price. Good shit man
He always will beat them on price, though, as he bought in when it was cheap ( 13 years ago was at the bottom of the last recession ). He has a gravel and grass lot, a simple building, and that's it. Most new dealers have millions into it, now, to get started. A major dealership? tens of millions, minimum. Why he can do this is (my guess, likely accurate) is that everything is paid off and he owns that little piece of land. Now, you'll get gouged 8% and half a million to get just a piece of land that large. So you literally can't sell for that cheap.
Im almost 40, all the cars I ever bought was ALWAYS Craigslist, face to face from people. For just simple cash. ALWAYS avoided dealers for the exact reasons you mentioned. Glad ure 1 good one out there.
What advice would you give to a female that wants to do this but doesn’t have a mechanic on hand to inspect the car I’m interested in?
@@t.terrell7037Meet at a reputable mechanic shop so they can check it out before purchase. If the seller has a problem with doing this then don’t buy it.
@@t.terrell7037 You pay one to have a look at the vehicle.
@@t.terrell7037you should always bring it to any local repair shop for an inspection, costs like $150, if the seller won’t allow that then you dodged a bullet anyways.
@@t.terrell7037 My friend told me to hire a mobile mechanic, otherwise ask the seller if you can take the car to a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection. If they aren't okay with this, it may be a sign something is wrong with the car they don't want you to know about.
The real killer these days is insurance! My last car was an 08 corolla and minimal liability was over $100 a month... and this is coming from a guy who is 31 with no accident history last 10 years, loyalty discount, and driver course discount. Now my new Altima is like $1359 every 6 months and keeps going up!
Who's your company? Try Progressive, they're usually the cheapest.
I bought my 2010 Mazda from a guy like you in Florida and they fixed everything that was wrong with it put new window motors in both front doors I have driven that car for 4 years with no issues at all It is a great car I paid 4500 he wanted 5200 great deal. You are doing God's work bro.

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

There’s more to this channel than just our hero loitering at new car dealerships. This video is so well put together; main story, side stories, editing, music, etc. are all top class. I’m not in market for a used car, I’m not even in North America but this is just great entertainment.
Man I don’t know you and I don’t live anywhere near North Carolina but I love your business model. I feel like my local area could seriously benefit from this kind of dealership. My local used car lots charge up to $1500 in misc fees it’s ridiculous. Happy to see there is still an honest and reasonable dealer out there.
Make money my friend, because YOU and YOUR STAFF are a great blessing. The world is so corrupt, and here you are posting real prices to pay, and the best product you are able to offer for a reasonable profit for your efforts. Be BLESSED!

@@kjschroeder2010 Time to work a little magic called: Look it up.
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.
Smart! Many don't get the notion that the best daily driver is a paid off vehicle. Why finance $800/mo. on a daily driver so you can show off to everyone. By the time it's paid off, you have over 100k miles, serious depreciation and the car is not the "in" car anymore.
The world needs more businessmen like you!!!
Bro. First of all, I love your channel. For all that you do for us as the consumer to see your side of things. Secondly, I wish you were here in Denver, CO I would be buying all my vehicles from you.
You are a genius giving people what they want for a reasonable price and making a nice profit in return now that's a win-win situation right there I hope you open a lot of in New York City if you do I will be the first customer there a big shout-out from the NYC
i been saying it for years.a crashing economy is your best friend.especially now repo's are at an all time high.people still need to get to work cheaply.pretty cool to see you on ray & zach today also.
crashing economy would be falling prices.. then when fac fail and stuff gets hard to find price would go up. not trying to argue just seeing ppl say this when reality is different
@@cob19234 Not with stagflation.
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)
It isn't crashing. People are making tons of money on realestate and the stock market.
@@rotart12arx3 oh so just rich people getting richer? tell us something new already. Appreciated. :>

This is why we've bought from Hertz the last 2 cars. They have the same sales model as you.
They have newer more expensive cars but both times my husband and I walked in test drove the car we were interested in. Then wrote a check and left with our car. There was no haggling. It's awesome! If we lived in NC we'd definitely look at your vehicles. We don't care what we drive. It just has to move my family and our stuff and be reliable. That's all we ask.
I love the fact that you see that.
I want a hertz car too, sadly its too expensive for me :(
This is fantastic. Many people have always disliked the fact that for some reason buying a vehicle from a dealer isn't just like buying a TV or some other retail item where the price you see, before tax, is what you pay. I really appreciate your business model and wish you many more successful years in business.

Thats how you get tricked and ripped off. Dont buy from someone that "seems" fair and honest. Buy from someone who IS fair and honest.
that's what everyone says before they get ripped off
Hi Brandon, When I see that big sign at a car dealership that reads "CERTIFIED USED CARS," I have to laugh. Many people believe it means the dealership has thoroughly inspected the cars and made any needed repairs. That sign means that all the vehicles on the used car lot are certified as being used. That's a big difference!
“Transparency” you have my Respect.
Smart! I was a mechanic for over 10 years and not once did they suggest inviting mechanics to auctions. I love what you guys are doing keep up the great work
If i can scrounge up 3k or 5k ill definitely take a short roadtrip to get a decent car to take back to Georgia so i can get back and forth to work. Definitely need one since our 2017 Jetta tsi is getting up their in miles and its the only car we have for me and my moms.
A business owner talking numbers on TH-cam? And he's in the car business? I think this guy is on to something big!
It Proves you can make a living not ripping people off! Well done sir
Out Here in CA......there are a TON of guys doing that. They buy them pretty cheap with an engine light on. fix the problem. and resell it for 500 to 1000 profit. That is it.
I do this. Get them smogged in palmdale for $100, even if you delete the light on the reader you still get screwed as you know, could be anything for a failure. 4 lightly used matching new tires, oil change, recharge the a/c, make sure it's safe and reliable and keep it moving. $600 at auction, sell for 2k. 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.
My HONDA was an auction car. Imget 15 mi.s from dealer n lite comes on. Luckily it ran o.k.,200 mi.s from home.. turned out to be a hard to get at lil part. Cost$300 to get replaced. No trouble since but worn out brakes. $350.

In 2009, I paid $4,500 for a 2006 Ford in a used car lot. I still have it, and drive it weekly. It has been very reliable with only oil changes and fluid flushes. I paid for one set of tires. I call it old faithful.

How do you find them if you hypothetically don’t know anything about cars? Most mechanics can’t stop what they are doing to go and inspect a car if I find one I like. 😢

Hello Brandon. I can't express enough just how valuable and important you are in your approach and business model as a car dealer. Car buyers NEED what you are doing now more than ever. Making customers happy and satisfied is the best thing a car dealer can do. You literally earn lifetime customers doing the great thing that you are doing....
Everything this guy said in the last 2 minutes of his video is spot on. Kudos to you, for the honesty and transparency. What a way to make a living, it's gotta be hard work!
Over the years I bought many many cars from private dealers who operated same as you. I got great affordable cars. My driveway would be cluttered with them. Only sold them to clear the way for more. My last dealer retired for medical reasons. He was a super mechanic also. Keep up this righteous life's mission!
I really do love this video. Watching the process from auction, to selling was awesome. You really are, one in a million. This business model is absolutely rare!!Blessings to you, your family and your business 🥰
Love the like 1990's cable access TV show talking to a local car dealer vibes (but with much better camera quality) of this video.
Hi European here. I bought a 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 in 2022 for about $1500. Has been running great and I've spent about $1500 more in the past two years for preventative maintenance. Honestly the best purchase I ever made and I intend to keep it until the wheels fall off.
Good job bro.. you and Alex are a dedicated team and passionate about what you do.. this is why you’re doing really well. It’s business + social service + aiming to change the preowned car market and make it more transparent.. all the best for the future.. ❤
nice story. Really liked this change of pace.
I would never use the word "cheap!" I would use either the word "affordable" or, (and this is my favorite,) "inexpensive!" Either way, you have indeed found a niche and I wish you all the best!
Bowling alley seating in the office is perfect! Your $5K and under dealership shows value to the consumer and they know it's a good deal, especially given the crazy car prices today. Very refreshing to see a dealer who knows what most people need.
Makes a lot of sense to me. I've only owned 2 vehicles and I bought each of them based on terms of reliability and affordability, and whether or not they were suitable for my needs. High volume low margin sales seem stressful, but you seem like you're making it easier for people who may just be starting out or have lost everything and they are starting to rebuild. Major props for that. Good luck in your endeavours.
I've been in several businesses for many years successfully and I really like your presentation which I think is very genuine, for your ethical outlook on business and treating people. What you have going on there, upfront pricing, no bullshit fees, all in the back of my head. Only thing I might do different, I would have more of my service area inside, repair detailing. Primarily for comfort of myself and staff. And if I needed to be it inside I've got a lighting to process cars 24 hours a day. Just put on a second shift. Volume volume. And with a better working environment, I think you get top notch people. First thing I did at my other company was to air conditioned a 10,000 ft² warehouse, I had zero turnover in 5 years. Best of luck continued success brother
Thank you Brandon for being a use car dealer that sell good quality car with transparency. Looking forward to coming by and getting a use car from your dealership soon 😎😎👏👏
Even though I don't know where the car dealership is I think that's the best commercial I've ever watched
He's afraid of sabotague.
Picked up a couple sedans to flip recently (mechanic by trade) cleaned them up nice, minor mechanical repairs to make them safe and legal and posted them. It was like pulling teeth to get $3k for clean title smogged cars ready to go. Can't imagine doing it regularly.
It can be. I do the same thing in my area. 3 to 5 cars a year. I try to make $500, $1500 if I'm doing heavy line repairs. 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.
its sad that people try to take something already so cheap and try to basically steal it from you.
The only difference is he is set up commercially to do it, he's clearly sunk tons of time, effort, and money so that he doesn't deal with the marketplace treatment. He created quite literally his own marketplace which in of itself is genius

Thanks for helping people. Every body is just about getting money from people. And taking advantage of them. And sometimes that's a good way to get hurt. Because some people will hurt you
Bought a landcruiser 1998 swapped for a clapped out cb125e 2017 for over 1k and 3800 or 2800 and 1994 for $4500 w 6 months rego 4wd blue marlin raptor coated orange ugly, had em for a while and sold for $6200 for both. Biggest loss learnt
God bless this man
👍
@ 5k your still making 20% profit of $1000 so keep doing what you know works for you. I liked seeing you earlier today with Zack.
The $1000 goes to the business - salaries, rent, accounting, taxes, utilities, transport of the cars, detailing etc, etc.
I think he mentioned he gets around $400-$500 in his pocket.
@@boyantrifonov I know what the profit goes for, I am just encouraging him to do what works for him.
What a refreshing video, thank you! Greetings from Greenville, NC.. Lived in Statesville, NC for a couple of years in the early 90's. Fished Lake Norman a lot as well. Thanks Brother, your the man!!!
Your a blessing to many people providing affordable and reliable transportation and good sound advice.
Had to subscribe. I always wanted to open an honest low priced auto dealership and you did it. That’s awesome. Where in NC are you?
Awesome! It’s about time to straighten the buying car process! If it’s transparent and easy like buying a bottle of coke, I think many consumers will buy and sell more frequently. The market will have lots of movement!
North Carolina folks are lucky to have you guys around. I don't have such luxury in my vicinity, so I buy my cars on my own risk and fix them (I am not a mechanic, but I can use a wrench or two), so far so good, spent $4000 total in car pay (repairs not included) in last 8 years. It's very impressive we can still find "surviving" work horses of the previous generations, god bless engineers who designed and built those, mostly Toyota and Honda, but Ford did well too at the time, Lincoln aswell, Subaru maybe...
I have a 20 year old Subaru Outback with 170k miles on it. Still runs perfectly and haven't had any issues at all, other than regular maintenance (brakes, tires, oil, etc). Maybe I got lucky..
Inflation strikes. You can't work for free. Great content!
It takes a gentleman who cares about others to go out and sell and collect less then most others, knowing he is helping the community as a whole. The fact that your mechanic is on it and ensuring the cars will not be lemons and if maintained will be a great investment is another great thing. If I could, I'd buy from you, but being in Vancouver Canada I still can send you thanks and continued success!
Want to open a branch in South West Florida? I like how forward this business is, I bet we could do some work here, people could really use someone not trying to retire tomorrow.
I helped my 16 year old daughter find her first car that she bought with her own money that she worked for. It was freaking eye opening what cars cost these days. I haven’t bought a car in ages. In Western WA anything under $5,000 is totally beat to hell. We waited months because I refused to allow her to spend that much money for junk. We got lucky and she got a 20 year old Camry in great shape for $4,100. But value in the car market is almost impossible to find these days.
Isn’t that nuts? A 20 year old Camry coating that. Fingers crossed it holds up for her without major repairs.
I bought a brand new Toyota Corolla for $4467! It came with carpeting but no air conditioning- from the factory that way. Did I mention this was 1979?
Finally! A Brandon we can trust! Congratulations on your Utube success! You treat customers like you would like to be treated!
What a novel concept!
Not just trust, this Brandon can finish a sentence and remember back past this morning.
Much respect for being an honest dealer. Its refreshing to see.
Bought my first car in 1989.
A beat up old 1976 Olds Cutlass Supreme.
500 dollars baby!
