If people complain about not having more expensive cars on here then they need to go watch, one of the many channels that specializes in exotics. That's not this channel. This channel is for the average Joe blow. And that's the way uh-huh, uh-huh we like it. Lol
I like the Pontiac Grand Prix. Good looking car. Just a little work, and she's ready for the next family. Lots of life left in that one, and still has a modern look to it.
Dude...its fine. It's not the same old boring stuff. Your content is very entertaining. I love seeing you take these old cars and getting them running and going. Keep up the great work!
Not boring stuff, in the 1980's, I made my living in Mt. buying totals, at salvage yards, I did all the work, by myself, sent out, the frame work, but I sold wholesale. Keep up the good work.
The 5.3 from 07 thru 13 had an oil pressure problem that can be veiwed on you tube. I know I had an 11 GMC pickup with one and was told from the GMC dealer service crew it had no oil pressure to the top of the engine. That after researching this particular problem, it's cause is from a faulty connection from the oil pump to the upper galley of the oil passage way to the top. It just bleeds off the pressure and only gets enough to the bottom portion. As a result they want an engine job for $7K. to do an engine replacement.
Thanks enjoy these walk arounds. I live south of Miami Florida near the Florida keys, and just learned we are getting a new Copart lot here. Should be some interesting vehicles here.
Hi Randy. The Grand Prix. Easy fixer. I really like the new Ford pickup. I hope they drained the rear diff and added new gear oil with the additive. They must have. I wish you could have gotten the Lincoln. I imagine everyone was bidding on it, probably went high. I love the Copart videos. Thanks for another one!
My first Copart win was a 2005 Grand Prix and it is my daily driver now. Very fast car for a 3.8 and mine is NA. ZZP PCM some Chevron 93 and you're in for a fun time. Just installed some strut tower braces and thing is so much more stable. I have videos of repairs, will post one day.
Love seeing your walk arounds Randy, though from the UK.I would love to see the odd land rover and mini even that Fiat 500 seen in the background today!
I think the Grand Prix is worth taking a chance on. The tire smudge would be easy to take care of. It seemed like the engine issue sort-of fixed itself. It could be like you said, it just sat for a while. It’ll probably go cheap, too.
I'm Shaun from tmw I specialize in Mercedes and BMW the head rest air bag reset involves you just disconnecting it behind the seats. Pushing the head rest down until you see the pins click on to the small bar located the bottom part of the head rest
Keith Coppage some bluetecs don't actually use adblue. All bluetecs started using adblue in 09/10. The bluetecs from 07-07 are just CDI cars with a different name.
Come on Randy. You should have known the BMW 745 battery was completely dead. On the passenger side when you choose the door before every going to sit in the car, you closed it does and it latched but it didn't suck the doors in which means either the suction is bad or the batteries are dead and the suction rarely goes bad in those cars cuz it's all on a vacuum system so you should have known right away the battery is gone. But I guess we're you're talking to the camera and distracted maybe you don't pay attention to this little things. But yeah as soon as I saw the door didn't suck in and you had to open it and shut it harder I knew there battery was dead before you ever even walked around to sit in the car to turn it on.
Saw that F-150 on the Copart site. It’s called Flareside. $800 buy it now is a deal if the miles aren’t too high. Fleet side is regular bed. Should be a 5.5’ bed.
I’ve got a 2003 f150 just like that with the 5.4 and when the alternator goes bad it’ll shut the airbags off (most of the time) my cousin had the same happen to his 2001 f150 when his went bad so the airbag light is likely due to that alternator not charging, but I could be wrong.
I bought a car with 16 miles on it, and a truck with 3 miles on it. Big gambles sometimes, such as the truck was just off the delevery truck with top of cab knocked off, too me nine mo to find a salavage cab on new model.
The axle on my 2011 Chevy was like that and I just slid it back around and but new u bolts in it. But it sits a tad lower on the drivers side but drives straight.
Why is everyone so into the Pontiac? Did you hear how it sounded when it started up? Plus oil level warnings? I dont care how long its been sitting, RUN.
get the grand prix. I had a '76, firethorn red, white vinyl top, white interior, long ass hood, rectangular headlights. One of the best cars I ever owned.
Us Germans call it a hood. Our cousins, the Brits, you know, the ones that drive on the wrong side of the road, call it a bonnet and the instument cluster is the binnacl. Just so you know. Lol. MB calls a diesel Bluetec and they are pretty quiet. I think they went to hydraulic lifters which helps. That last Pontiac with the milk shake and overfull oil. Sounds like blown head gasket.
Bluetec is diesel brand of Merc. Not only the Mercs are such quiet. We have 40-60percents of all cars powered by diesel in Europe (depending from what country you are). You can drive 0.9L Smart For Two manufacuters car powered by diesel engine, or you can even find 5.0L Bmw's, VW's, Mercedes luxury sedans :)
The red Tacoma is exactly the type of vehicle that your business (and your channel) could aim to trade in during 2020. This would be a step up for your new Dealership business and produce great TH-cam content as you would heve to diversify into using frame machines, body experts (Weird Beard?) and people who can work with heavily computerised cars and trucks. Personally, I would tend to reduce the quantity of vehicles purchased and increase my quality aspirations. A steady move up into the middle market would increase profits and subscriber numbers.
MERCEDES HEADREST INFORMATION: You do not need to replace the headrests on a mercedes, they can be snapped back down by you for free. Just get them from behind in the back seat and pull them down, then snap them back into place, they hook in there, you will hear them click most of the time! The service places will charge you hundreds to reset them, or claim to replace them, they just snap them back down when you are not looking. That is one of the biggest scams out there!
Randy, I was going through this weeks copart list of cars in your city and my eye stuck on this Pontiac - imediatelly saw it and thought that it really would be great car for your channel. It can be cleaned up, the look are not bad. Hope you will get it! Also there is a red GTI Golf in the yard... :) Will wait for a video about it :)
Loved the newer cars in the vid! Especially the Mercedes S class and Toyota😁 Hope everything is going well and let me know if you wanna sell that broken xs😁
I've always loved the BMW 745. It's old but back in the day with the rims on it, that car was awesome. My opinion though!
Expensive to maintain when older. Engine & interior parts have bad reliability.
Charles Cummings it was never awesome. Disgusting rims.
It looks fucking ridiculous, did then and still does now.
You must be black...

Gran pris are junk over 125k
@@drulessman2892 not necessarily the 3800 runs forever mine has over 200k on it runs and drives great
Pontiac looks good. I have no problems with your walk arounds Randy! They are interesting and informative. Keep up the good work!
Dude...its fine. It's not the same old boring stuff. Your content is very entertaining. I love seeing you take these old cars and getting them running and going. Keep up the great work!
The grand prix is definitely a simple repair and for the rubber marks we use mr clean magic eraser and some scrubbing and it will come right off.
WD40 or Goo Gone will too.
Could use that rubber wheel to get the tire rubber off.

not boring at all !

Pontiac would make a good flip or for stock the new lot

Tht Pontiac was beautiful tht made the video better would love to see a Pontiac on the channel
Love seeing your walk arounds Randy, though from the UK.I would love to see the odd land rover and mini even that Fiat 500 seen in the background today!
SL550 is a dual turbo. Tacoma has a composit bed. Nice variety of cars

I'm Shaun from tmw I specialize in Mercedes and BMW the head rest air bag reset involves you just disconnecting it behind the seats. Pushing the head rest down until you see the pins click on to the small bar located the bottom part of the head rest
To add on to what I explained disconnect battery
You dont heve to replace the headrest neck saver in the gl. You can pop them back in by preesing a release with a screw driver.
The bmw 745 is hideous, I love it. The paint will buff right out. Randy, you gotta get it.
Appreciate you checking out the Grand Prix!
I think that Grand Prix is the best car you showed. Good reliable affordable car . Would make a great car for a high school kid
"Bluetec" is what Mercedes calls their 2007-and-up emissions-compliant diesels.
Keith Coppage some bluetecs don't actually use adblue. All bluetecs started using adblue in 09/10. The bluetecs from 07-07 are just CDI cars with a different name.
Hey Randy The Chevrolet Silverado gives new meaning to A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
That black BMW....
The hood is stuck and it's stuck in the hood.
😂😂😂😂
Come on Randy. You should have known the BMW 745 battery was completely dead. On the passenger side when you choose the door before every going to sit in the car, you closed it does and it latched but it didn't suck the doors in which means either the suction is bad or the batteries are dead and the suction rarely goes bad in those cars cuz it's all on a vacuum system so you should have known right away the battery is gone.

I was just wondering why you never check the engine oil before you start the cars ?
Always look forward to the walk arounds they never disappoint 👍🏻😁
Great videos Randy.. thanks for all of time to make these videos
I was looking forward to watching the video about the corvette paint correction etc,but it said (this video is private) ??
That Grand Prix is the one to do, quick flip
That 4.6 F150 is a bargain.
The last part you said was amazing. It's their car though. . Applause applause applause
That Grand Prix will make a good daily driver for someone.
Take a RF meter to the lot and measure the radiation saturation below that antennae.
You should really buy a pair of Kevlar gloves like the PO-PO, 50, ya know cops, use. They're puncture and cut resistant
Hey randy what city of Oklahoma do you live in been a dream of mine to go
I love those 06-14 Tahoe’s
That was a pit manouver...... garanteed. I bet you someone was running from the cops in that blue Silverado...👍👍love your channel randy...
The best car was the Pontiac
Best for last
Pontiac was the best GM brand of all time...even better than Chevy
@@makeshiftlake3519 Oldsmobile was my favorite
I have a 2005 sunfire with 285000 miles still runs GREAT I drive 80 miles a day for work so it is highway miles but still thats alot
@@1993spirit i had a 1998 cavalier, turned it in with 210,000 miles on it, and I still saw it around town for a few more years.
The Pontiac Grand Prix could have a blown head gasket every time you see milkshake on the dipstick
I love the Pontiac Grand Prix. Please buy it !
I’ve got a 2003 f150 just like that with the 5.4 and when the alternator goes bad it’ll shut the airbags off (most of the time) my cousin had the same happen to his 2001 f150 when his went bad so the airbag light is likely due to that alternator not charging, but I could be wrong.
Grand Prix looks nice with a little clean up
Randy you need a Carnage video. Even if it's just once or twice. Alot of people have been missing it.
I bought a car with 16 miles on it, and a truck with 3 miles on it. Big gambles sometimes, such as the truck was just off the delevery truck with top of cab knocked off, too me nine mo to find a salavage cab on new model.
Bluetec is indeed a diesel. Same motor they used in the early Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel models. Back when Daimler Chrysler was a thing.
The axle on my 2011 Chevy was like that and I just slid it back around and but new u bolts in it. But it sits a tad lower on the drivers side but drives straight.

get the grand prix. I had a '76, firethorn red, white vinyl top, white interior, long ass hood, rectangular headlights. One of the best cars I ever owned.
Intake gaskets on the 3800...probably letting coolant in the oil. Once you do those, winner winner
I’d definitely go for the Grand Prix, without a doubt. It’s a simple fix and they can last forever.
Your content is good. This is for anybody that wants to rebuild a car.
Buy the Pontiac Grand Prix Randy! I have my 2002 that I've owned since 2004. Kept her I good shape. 3.8s are bullet proof
That Merc is fixable for couple of grand here. If only it can be shipped here.
I follow a few of you guys in okc and you all are getting it. Keep up the good content
Go for the GL350 ! If you maintain them they are very nice. 25 mpg and can tow 7500 lbs
I would say someone poured acid on the BMW
It was racked and repaired wrong. Might not even be the right color
I don't think so. I've have had clear coat the acted the same way.
Any thing after 06 if it’s got a blue tec Badge it’s a diesel. Not that good of an engine though on a Benz that is
Hey you look at cars/trucks that the 99% of people can afford that's a win in my book great job.
You should go for the G Prix. Easy fix, and if the price is right it would be a quick flip.
Randy my mother in law had transmission issues! It wasn’t the trans on her 2000 it was a fuse and it took 8 months to track it down
Do what you do. I like all the vids you post.
The Tahoe makes me think it could have been a flipped by a tornado. No bags were blown in the vehicle
Could u look at more ford fusion or exploer
Us Germans call it a hood. Our cousins, the Brits, you know, the ones that drive on the wrong side of the road, call it a bonnet and the instument cluster is the binnacl. Just so you know. Lol.
MB calls a diesel Bluetec and they are pretty quiet. I think they went to hydraulic lifters which helps.
That last Pontiac with the milk shake and overfull oil. Sounds like blown head gasket.
You should get a 2012 or 2013 Buick regal gs turbo
I'd grab that Gran Prix!! But, I want the S550... Almost bought an S600 a couple weeks ago, but got outbid.
Hey Randy you can also call the hood the ranch cuz that's where the horses live lol
That merc looks like an easy fix, a la samcrac's RS7
That Pontiac is a great flip car!

Get the GP! You'll be able to flip that car with minimal work.
Comedic hilarity @8:40 "THIS AIN'T SO BAD, I WOULDN'T EVEN FIX THE BED...." walks to driver side, ***mic drop***.
Those headreasts can just pop back in place if you google how to do it
The 745 is my first car and they’re not ugly
Hey Randy, the Pontiac at the right money would be a good spinner......?
Since the coolant system was pressurized so quickly and the oil looked the way it did, could it be a blown head gasket?
Randy, I was going through this weeks copart list of cars in your city and my eye stuck on this Pontiac - imediatelly saw it and thought that it really would be great car for your channel. It can be cleaned up, the look are not bad. Hope you will get it! Also there is a red GTI Golf in the yard... :) Will wait for a video about it :)
I popped them head rest air bags back in in my sister in law 2014 Chrysler 200 they just popped right back in
You forgot to wear your brown leather jacket today
What happened to the smell-o-meter Randy? The F150 needed a rating ... could have been a new low!
Loved the newer cars in the vid! Especially the Mercedes S class and Toyota😁 Hope everything is going well and let me know if you wanna sell that broken xs😁
On that 2011 Chevy pickup, I’ll bet you it got hit by a price of farm equipment called a disk fling down the road. That’d do it for damn sure
You better get that Grand Prix randy! Easy as hell
Honestly I prefer what your doing at the moment over big rebuilds
That 550 does have the lighting
The shredded Chevy Silverado with a needle is actually the San Francisco edition. You will find the needle on the floor
I didn't think you could bring your own jumper pack to Copart?
I have a 2008 Grand Prix. Excellent car.
Whats wrong with 24s on a 7 series
I work at the Long Island yard we get a decent amount
Good old Gm 3800 cold start bottom end knock
was about to leave to do some work but then …. premiere viedo just postd looks like imma be late haha
Keep making videos and I'll keep watching
You would be suprised at how quiet european V6 diesels are now, some of them you can barley tell they are turned on
Please get the Pontiac the 3800 V6 is a great motor
