LOL! He's STILL got the two 500 SL Mercedes although he did FINALLY lower the price of ONE of them to $11,500. Maybe we should start a "pool" on what the thing FINALLY sells for once he throws in the towel.
I was looking forward to seeing how much that Buick Regal sold for. Considering how clean it was I imagine the underside probably was not too bad. Even if the underside was rusted just a tiny bit I would not worry too much Considering the earlier front wheel drive GM s seem to be built better.
One key for the door and one key for the trunk. The Z28 where all 305 engines and the IROC had both the 305 and 350. If it was an auto IROC it usually had the 350, the stick cars where 305's.
13:00 You don't have bad luck with Nissan Rogues, they have lousy CVT transmissions due to a design flaw that leads to almost guaranteed failure by 100k mi no matter how often you change the fluid, and that issue was not fixed until 2017. The problem is worse in warmer climates, as the problem was insufficient cooling.
Trade that thing in. The likelihood of failure is only going up from here. I know the one guy out of a million who had no issues will chime in soon, but that's the exception not the rule. It's a well documented issue with nissan. Also a big reason they are currently facing bankruptcy @@badass1g
@@badass1g You should be good with the 2017. They made even more improvements with the 2022, but the 2017 model year is supposedly the first year that fixes the issue. You're even better off if you live in a colder climate, as the issue had to do with it running too hot. Additionally, I think that Nissan was forced to extend the warranty on all affected CVT transmissions once they were forced to acknowledge that them failing at an >average< mileage of 100k was not acceptable.
On the IROCZ two keys 🔑 one for the door and one for the ignition. I had a 1985.I was 16 bought a cheap mustang for $1500 sold it to the mailman for $3000 I added $2000 and paid $5000 for the IROCZ it was my first car to drive. I doubled my original investment before I had a license ✊
These are your best videos by far!! 20+years in this business and I too have a soft spot for the odd and weird!!! Seeing that Town and Country makes me feel real good about my 1500 dollar 13 Caravan SXT purchase.
Freaking love these videos Craig! Thanks for putting them out for all of us to see! My one day life long dream is having a used car lot! I want to do but here pay here for people who are wonderful great nice people just had a hard time in life and messed up there credit heck we don’t know maybe they had to chose between having a meal all week or having the car! I don’t blame them I’ve been out in them shoes before it sucks so bad but it’s being an adult and a part of life !
Mazda 3: Had an 06' that I never put anything into other than breaks and one serpentine belt and ran it 217K before selling it to a kid. The car still got 32 mpg and ran fine, back quarter panels were rotting out though as they all do. I don't know what Craig is talking about, those cars will go 300K with no maintenance.
A guy with your experience should have known that after a hurricane prices where going to go through the roof and tax season coming I bought in the last month after the hurricane over 30 vehicles knowing this was coming
Your physical discomfort is probably from your flight to NH. You where in an cylindrical pitree dish with other people with who knows what afflictions with poor fresh air circulation!
Hey bud I've been doing body work and paint for 40 years I had the carmax account for 5 years until they sent me every gold Chrysler 2002 bumper 😢 you know none of them matched would you be willing to trade some labor for the Mercedes the red one you duck taped ?
Curious if you're trying to keep a set number of cars on your lot or not... does Lauren have a fixed dollar amount in total she can spend? How are you financing the purchases? Is that financing a factor in decision making? How did you train Lauren?
It appears to me that the Nucar stores are just happy to pay the customer jack for these high mileage older cars. Then take them to auction and make 1500 on them without doing anything to them. These cheap cars are great for every body but the consumer. The only good thing is that if someone buys these older cheap cars from you, at least you make them as good as they can be. If there is some way that you can get that 1500 away from the new car dealers, then all of the small used car dealers could make some money and save the customer some money too.
Love the video but what happened with last weeks auction results of those cars Where the yellow Ferrari. Need to stay focused. Lol. Btw where’s the cyberjunk. That story just ?
Craig: you overpaid for these cheap cars Also Craig: I bought 2 mercedes sl 500s and multiple hummers, a foreclosed summer home, a boat from an auction 2000 miles away, and my grandfather's corvette. The self awareness 😂 Much respect for giving AL that thunderbird tho.
@@BrianMeegan-k3e But a least his Super Rich Buddies won't have to pay any Income Tax , the average Joe will pay it for them on everything they buy, lovely😂😂😂
@@jon-ie4li the top 1% of earners pay half of the total federal income tax collected for the entire country... the bottom half only pays 3%... Just some random facts I thought u might find useful...
@@MercenarySed 40% isn’t half that’s generous rounding and they account for a third of the nations wealth so I would say that checks out as a fair share
I wish the market would not be greedy and release cheap cars to the public instead of rotting on about because they want a high auction reserve price threshold
End of the day, it's about what the market will bear. You paid more this day but everyone else did as well. I remember the days when $1000 tops would get a decent basic car. Yikes

Liked the auction lot walk around / inspections. Got the cars most people will Buy & look easier to cleanup too.
Craig you should look into the Carmax auctions they move all kind of stuff.
Iroc-Z
SQUARE KEY: Ignition
ROUND KEY: Doors and trunk
Always great information and fun to watch! Thanks Craig!
Glad you enjoyed it
The GMC yokun is for a good price,but I hear that it's known to have Lefters issues,

My girl has a 2017 rogue with 91k miles. She’s changed the trans fluid twice. How worried should we be?

Did they ever really fix it? Impossible to trust any Nissan with a CVT. Altimas are the worst.

Lil Bondo, chicken wire, spray foam, duct tape, tie wire, crunched up tinfoil in holes can fix anything for a. 20/20 hoop, twenty feet away at 20mpg
You pay extra for that at flying wheels
Another great video Craig , a lot of nice purchases! Can’t wait for part 2 !
ALL 90s fords and chevys... round key is for the doors trunk & glovebox.. square keys are for ign cyl. eventually they all went to the one key system.
A little paint..... a little bondo... best car movie ever! Gone in 60 Seconds!
Get her a mirror on a extinction stick. So she don’t have to climb under the car to look for rust. It would be the best Christmas give. 😊
I lol'd when you walked by that Veloster and said "no, stay away!" Smart man
Craig, how many cars at a time do you ship up to New Hampshire? How much does it cost you to ship them?
and prices are ridiculous there.
I'd love to hear about Laurens learning curve. Her losers, her winners, and other pitfalls that have come up running the business for a few months.
Any Corvettes kicking around 😂
I had a 1987 IROC with a 5.7 litre, Red TTops
I had a 1985 IROCZ silver with burgundy interior it was a great car.
On the IROCZ two keys 🔑 one for the door and one for the ignition. I had a 1985.I was 16 bought a cheap mustang for $1500 sold it to the mailman for $3000 I added $2000 and paid $5000 for the IROCZ it was my first car to drive. I doubled my original investment before I had a license ✊
Maybe she will take over Flying Wheels😅
I'm sure that's the plan!
He wont sell the business @OutlawChevy2
@8:30... The newer SSR's were the 6.0 and you could even get them with a stick shift.

Elantra and sonata are two different cars.

Papa Al ftw❤
I worked for a chevy dealership in the 80s and 90s the càmaro z28s were all 305 but the iroc zs were 350
Yep, I went for the z28 because you could get it with a 5spd, the Irocs were all automatics,
A guy with your experience should have known that after a hurricane prices where going to go through the roof and tax season coming I bought in the last month after the hurricane over 30 vehicles knowing this was coming
Always informative. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
That 2013 Hyundai that is perfect for us made me😂known time bombs like the Veloster!
thx Craig, good presentation
Ask six. And if noone bites lower it to six......... Great :-P
One for door one key to start

Hey man what did the irock z go for
these prices are absurd
Love the classic style video
I used to had that same Camaro 1 key 🔑 is for opening the door 🚪 the other one to start the engine.
Round one door and trunk and glove box lock.
@cousinjohncarstuff4568 yes and the lock for the trunk was benith the licence plate 😂
round key door and trunk. square ignition.
You could get the 350 in the Iroc starting 1987, though I don't think it was an option for the convertible come to think of it
I predict the Mazda sells first.
This is it Craig! Two good videos in a row. Love the content keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Square head key, doors and ignition. Round head key, trunk.
Round is for door and trunk
I thought the car prices for used cars is down? Especially because it's winter time.
Nope...there's still a shortage of used cars.
Cheap car prices are up
Bravo again. Fun for all!
Now Florida cars in New Hampshire! They will sell like hot cakes
