Cant believe you fired a flood car without even checking the oil... you are extremely lucky/fortunate.
I thought they same thing. Risky.
he got even luckier driving it that far without checking trans the oil the diffs all of it could have water soaked in it
A bit nuts.
My thoughts exactly!!! How do you call yourself a car guy and not check that first buy hey good for you.
We Copart buyers take that risk! Like they say no risk no reward ! Gotta have the balls to buy from Copart
Wow what a score, didn’t expect that car to start up and drive home. So far it’s looking like a home run.
So Mike is standing there sweating bullets saying "Should I click it? I am over my budget." Ivan "click it." Lol
😂
@@amnik3424 wots 0k to them ?
You guys are truly blessed
What a score this Vette is wow and no issues.
Lol
You talk about praying and being blessed. Are you and your brother Christians?
Always smart to check oil AFTER initial start. These TH-cam content creators always make me laugh. 🤣🤣
riding dirty hell yea boiz

I guess you didn't watch the video. He said they did check it.
@@myshots101 They did check it, after the initial start. Maybe u didn’t watch the video.
@@ImpalaSS08 I thought they did say that before they got the car. Sorry wasn't trying to sound mean and it I know I did.
Mike sounds like a kid getting his first car! Awesome find guys, hope you guys get a quick sale! Happy Holidays everyone
In the next video, can you explain why a car like that would be at a flooded auction when there does not appear to be anything wrong with it?
A lot of cars that got “flooded out” especially newer cars was just people who couldn’t keep up with the payments and just told their insurance it got flooded to just get out of it and the insurance would just write it off
They will say it’s flooded even if tires get a inch of water because the moisture even though it didn’t get inside
I would like to know the same thing like with the Mustang he bought a couple weeks ago there was nothing wrong with it well I guess the power seat motor was bad but besides that it was a pristine Ford Mustang I think it is just insurance fraud to get out of dept hence the reason our insurance goes up yearly, people trying to live a lavish lifestyle or keep up with the Jones in other words!!
It seems like someone at Copart did not do their job checking this vehicle over before listing it. Great score guys.
Maybe. Maybe not. You can buy a brand spanking new 2022 Stingray for about $78 - to $80 grand, if you do it right. Loaded. Not everything... but loaded nonetheless. Clean title. I don't really get paying basically $60K with fees and transport / travel.... to have a '21 with a flood title forever. I don't see it. KILLER car tho - no doubt about that, and I sure would love to have one. Red or Yellow for me on a car like this. They are amazing. And oh boy listen to that bad boy when it cranks up.
That car actually never had water in it. I worked at that copart right after the flood
I used to transport and man copart has some shady business practices
Nice video. But is still a Chevy American made junk
@@dempseyodickson2856 oops...we found the poor guy who can't afford a Corvette.
So clarify for me. Because it’s a “flood vehicle” wouldn’t it also then have a Salvage Title so the vehicle is then worth less ??
Great looking car other than it being white in color.
If the guy from Ohio see's this Video, he is going to be kicking himself, Great Buy. Now do you get to keep it or do you have to flip it ?
This is one great buy! Z51 on an LT3...you are looking at high dollars new and used. This will sell for close to $90K with the options and the mileage. You can get the build sheet and window sticker from the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky for about $150 so you'll know exactly how this car is optioned and what the sticker was when new. Have the dealership check it out, but you just scored big time.
These are selling w those packages for less than 80 wholesale w clean titles retail mid 80s.
@@philipparana9225 I just did a search a clean title they are selling for $89,900 -$92,900 with similar mileage with around 2-3k miles they sell for $95,900 all day long, one with 259 miles was $97,900.
Not with a flood title.
Nice car. But a flood title depreciation is a big hit. Not too many will shell out more than what you paid. If you’re using it fine.
@@steve-ph9yg - Those are not flood title cars selling for $90K.
Seems like a bad score overpriced for a flooded car second should have been on a trailer all fluids changed before driving it just saying I'm not digging it especially with the title that's no good at waste your money dude
I love how everyone keeps reporting the MSRP of $60k makes the c8 such a bargain , yet you just paid that for a car with a salvaged title. It’s a great car but nobody is getting these even close to the MSRP.
Congratulations, definitely an emotional buy. Hope it works out the best for you. What did it take to get the top up?
Ohio is just some guy inside the office watching you stand by the car and click it
Killer car. Looks like Speed Racer's Mach 5. Not sure about basically $60K for a used Vette with a Forever Flood Title... but I'm not an expert. So.... I think I'd pay $78-82 ish for a brand spanking new Sting-Ray if it were me. But.... what do I know? Bottom line... man what a killer car. And hearing that thing crank up and come to life... Wow!
I bet ohio is pissed lol
Only worth about $25,000. Flooded dude. I wouldn’t touch it with a 40 foot pole.
Find a 25000 flooded one and I will buy right now cause there ain't no way
You must not have watched the the first video when they were checking the car out
@@DL-ry3qgI did actually
Before starting it I definitely would have checked the engine oil dipstick for water contamination.
Whatever water was in it probably vaporized. (If there was any) I actually think it ended up there after the owner claimed water damage to his insurance (hence the title situation) because someone drove in heavy rain and it tripped a an electrical sensor. (90% of problems in newer cars are electric and if they’re not electric they’re fuel related). They didn’t know whether to take the plugs out and start it (to remove whatever water was in) or what to do. Same thing happened to me - tons of codes and eventually they just went off after I took it to a mechanic to clear them. Water can ruin any car w low or high miles but it’s not as bad as the untrained consumer believes …
@ryanc2927 Should have gotten a Valiant Ranger then, didn't even need a knock sensor on those magnificent cars.
Insurance company decides the title branding. If the car is getting exported, depending on the country, they may not care if the title is CD.
It is not really a risk. You youtube channel is a business. If you lose money, you can deduct the loss against your profits. Plus, you get materiel to make videos on. You are going to flip that car once it's done. Good luck sir.
Jesus, what kind of mental patients pay this kind of money for a salvage car? Makes zero sense.
They bought a rv with a demo title
Looking Good ,what a find ,pays to be there and really check them out , a big advantage over someone bidding blind for sure. Beautiful Car.
Beautiful car, congratulations
Flooded without any major damage to the electronics is pretty amazing....stellar deal IMO
You don't know that over electronic will start shortage out.
Hey guys! I’m in South Carolina. I am in the market for a rebuilt corvette c7, porches or jaguar. If you guys have anything you can sell me I’m definitely down to buy cash I’ve saved up a good amount and I just want 1 of my dream cars for my birthday. You probably won’t see this but if you do I’m a supporter regardless!
Just so everyone knows...a insurance company will total a car if it "sat in" 8" inches or more of water...on the C8 that's the bottom of the rocker plate below the door...
Everybody acting like these flooded supercar finds are amazing. This car was most likely in a saltwater flood. You'd have to go through every nut and bolt in that car to make sure there wasn't corrosion. Not to mention the electronics. I'm sure they'll be able to flip it to some sucker, but anybody with a little bit of sense wouldn't touch a flood car with a 10 foot pole.
Not any kind of a bargain. As soon as any vehicle says flood on the title it's never worth more than 50% of a non-flooded vehicle. And a flooded vehicle shouldn't be driven until all fluids are changed. If the axle was under water, the bearings are probably trashed in it. Plus if any wiring was underwater, problems won't happen for a couple years, but all the connections will corrode. The only way to get a bargain on a floated vehicle is if you buy a cheap enough to replace all the wiring harnesses, any soft parts that had gotten wet, and the costs of all the fluids and such, totalling under 50% of current value.
Wow, one of the most exciting of copart episode! Hope there is nothing hiden! Big risk but so far, it's a major win!!!
Says supercar on the thumbnail? Corvette is not a supercar. It's the modern day version of a Buick for old people with white hair.
I don't believe, for a second, that you didn't put a pack on it beforehand and check the oil, etc. What is surprising is that Copart (apparently) didn't. Also...it went through flood reconditioning so who knows how bad it was prior to that service being performed. This is a VERY risky car for an end user to purchase.
I call BS, nobody would total a car for a dead battery, nor would anybody start a “flood” car without checking all the fluids.
Stingray R is a graphics package
I do wonder long-term how this will hold up. You should update this if you plan to keep it.
Great buy! Question like you said, I wander what or who decides if a car gets a salvage title or the certificate of destruction, also known as a death certificate in Florida. So many of the Hurricane Ian super cars got the cert of destruction... so Sad.
The roll of the dice was in your favor what a sweet looking car love the sound
Plot twist Ohio is really a Copart lot manager.
You are bid up, maybe you should not broadcast these finds on TH-cam.
The most interesting thing about this is the suspense - Mike and Ivan will bring it back to showroom condition but then will they bring themselves to sell it or will they just have to keep it?
Me myself I would keep it 100% keep it!
@@joeysweet9045 The reality of paying insurance costs on it might be a deal breaker
@@b4804514 actually the insurance on my C8 is very reasonable and about $200 / yr less than my Hemi Challenger
Great buy guys . It’s such a good feeling when you buy them right
You think they bought it right? I'm not saying they didn't.... but you can buy a brand spanking new one for $78-$82K ish.... mostly loaded. Why pay $60K for a used one with a FOREVER flood title? Honestly... I don't get it. Killer car tho. And looks like it is in great shape. But.....
Wow I mean just wow what a fantastic car you guys smashed it out of the park with this buy. Michael was smiling all the way home now looking forward to the follow up videos great buy great channel 👍👍👏👏👏👏
Sweet looking ride glad it worked out
Dang dude you struck GOLD with that purchase! If I were you I would hang on to that one but I know you more than likely are going to flip it and make a couple grand it! You definitely can't hang on to everything
Congratulations but I wouldn’t have the nerve to take that kind of a chance on a flood car. I know someone that bought a flood SUV and the driver’s side window goes down all by itself whenever it wants! LOL!
Your Karma earned you that perfect Half Priced C8 Vette !
Nice car I really hope there are no issues. It did drive back alright so it should be fine. 👍👍
Great Buy! What does N/S on driver side window stand for?
No start
Good Luck guys , you deserve a sweet deal like that. congratulations.
This channel is just getting better and better love you guys Ivan Michael would love to have a good working relationship with my brother just keep them coming because your channel is going to be massive this time next year I can see you too having hundreds of thousands of subscribers most likeable brothers on you tube
congratulations 🎊 Great buy👏 God bless both of you 🙏
This is amazing car!
Can't you buy a new one in for $70k
No!
Sometimes it pays to be brave and throw the dice; fortune favours the brave!
No way!!! This is an epic video!!
Thank you for your support / feedback:)
Yall really believe they would spend 60k on a car they had no idea if it started or not? Of course they jumped it prior to bidding. It's all TH-cam suspense. Either way, great buy gentleman!
Hey good deal on the vett. I bought the same car only in silver with the tan interior. Mine came out of Pennsylvanian and I couldn’t find any water damage either.
It may take months or years, but corrosion can find its way to the car's vital electronics, including airbag controllers. Consumers need to carefully inspect any used car before buying one with water damage.
Nice but never get into bidding wars
Call me crazy. Another five grand and you could have bought a new one with a warranty.
Yea,
Your crazy because that Corvette is like around $80,000 ...
The 60k car will be track only vehicle. I say he got a good deal.
Can you explain why? 🤦🏻♂️
@@Oscar-xc2bx I live 4 miles from BIR raceway in Brainerd MN. I could go fishing or go club racing in a car at half price.
You come across as such a decent guy and so happy to get his Corvette so I'm now subscribed👍. I love Corvettes and have an 1100hp C6Z06 I just had built. Looking forward to following this Vette's story. Best of luck to you.✌️✌️
What a beautiful car!!!!! You are blessed.. Awesome Buy
I love the smile he got when it started
that car is just beautiful. First class guy's. I would have a smile on the face just standing beside it. Good luck with it no mater what you decide to do with it.
Mike really is like a kid at Christmas mind you , who wouldn't be? I can see you and Ivan fighting whos turn to drive it!!! Great buy guys, I'll look forward to what happens next!
supercar for sure, very nice one
Nice car 🎉 Congratulations you deserve
Absolutely great deal. You man an educated judgment call . Great job
I bet you will have trouble selling it, or let me restate this, you will not be able to put it up for sale. LOL
It may be a good track car
I was Ohio 😡lol
Congratulations guys, you deserve this profit making beauty!
50k for a flood corvette naa hell no
I loaded that car on the trailer before it left the yard right after the flood it def runs and drives
Saweeeeeeet ride Michael ... Get her all checked out and let us know how she done... Congrats buddy all the hours and hard work you two guys do you deserve it...
It was still probably a little over $60,000 tax, fee's and all but still a great buy I just hope if they sell it they can make a good lick on it because if it's a rebuild title it may hurt it even if they didn't have to turn a bolt on the car I just hope it doesn't hurt it much!
@@joeysweet9045 a salvage title won't obscure the fact that it was a flood car (most likely a saltwater flood at that). You'd have to be a moron to purchase it no matter what kind of car it is.
That was a fun video, I understand your excitement I just bought a 2019 Grand Sport with 6000 miles, and you paid less for that C 8 than I did. You got a great deal!!
Lovely car, well done guys 👌
Beautiful car looking forward to the tear down to see how bad it is ! Good luck guys looks like a winner…
They may not need to do any dismantling, just a good check over and good to go!
Congratulations ,I love you guys
I find it hard to believe you didn't start it up first.
What a great score. And made possible from all those hours of hard work. Well deserved! Continued success!
Oh My Freaking Goodness!!! Michael…Ivan… You guys totally scored! Wow…Love it. 😃👍👍
Wauv jackpot Today...sell it for 100 K tomorrow 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Saw one 2020 15 thousands miles for 68k..at dealership...no problems..
I wouldn't buy this
Wew i love those Corvettes, great color too, but you guys know how this works .. so great find. Big Up!
Congratulations! What a score. Like you said though it was a huge gamble. Winner winner chicken dinner
Insurance totaled the car, it was under water.............look at the rotors.....................in time the issues WILL SHOW UP................Maybe you find a sucker who won't know it was flooded, lol
Nice Corvette for sure crazy
Stingray R is a factory package, this is a 112k car with markup right now 🤣 good deal guys!
How much were the auction fees on that car?? 😳
Brilliant episode love the tension of the auction, and what a fantastic car, thanks guys 🙏🙏
Did ya atleast pull dipstick! Almost $60 racks? Well, who gives a flying f--kkkk!!!! It's a C8 Corvette!!! Man, you got it for what Chevy was 1st selling them for, before they doubled in price! I'd be bursting, you got down, no doubt. Rear, yes that's right, Uh-hum Rear Engine Corvette baby!! For the longest time, it was the U.S.'s only sports car. This was the was Mr. Zora Arkus Duntov originally wanted it. He had actually put a 327 in the back seat of a 65/66 Corsa, but it handled and went faster than the established existing Corvette. Took some time but that engine finally made it back there.
40k or 55k for a floodcar..thats too much..unless its a Ferrari ..😱🇺🇸you will never make any profit out of it..with that floodtitle..its a Lemon..thats why i never bid on floods..and i doing copart/iaai buys since 2004...last one i got scammed on copart on a 2019 EV..they swapped out the main battery..so i screwed .no profits...
What's one more click " haha 😄 you guys lucked out on this one ! Beautiful vette! Take care guys !
Interesting, NY inspection sticker. Wonder where it was flooded.
This is my first time seeing your page and Love your page . Totally awesome video
How do y'all get them back without tags or insurance or do y'all have a dealer tags
You just stand there on this video and say “we just bid $40,000 on a flood car” And act like it’s no big deal and nonchalantly say that. Well, I can tell you after watching some of your other videos, which I enjoyed,
You act like $40,000 to you is $4.00!
The majority of people that are probably watching your videos do not make $40,000 in a year. Me personally, it would take me 14 months to earn $40,000, much less have $40,000 discretionary income to buy a car that was in a major flood that may or may not be recoverable, that is unless my family owned a paint and body shop.
60k for a destroyed title c8 , hell it's parts they want , using the motor and transmission in a project car build. Then save the body pieces,for the fender benders. I saw a flooded 2014 GT 500 once at a copart for out right sell $20k every thing checked out still turned over,moved under its own power . Had friends that tell me to stay away from flooded cars ,me doesn't matter all I wanted was the 5.8l 4v Trinity and the transmission if I had the $20k . Try to fit it in a new Mustang cobra ; build it up like a cobra R ..
Love it. Video revenue will offset your budget concern. Great buy and looking forward to the videos. Hope for the best.
