    Craig I spent 25 years as a wholesale used car dealer. Your strength is in reconditioning cars with cosmetic issues. That's how you earn your spread. If I had had your reconditioning strengths I would have gone in the retail business. Of course then I would have had to the retail public instead of guys like you m

    I think always shooting for a mid-full size suv for 20-25k, a sports car for 10-15, and a sedan commuter (or two!) with the remaining money is the best for content while still making good money. We all love to see quick flips on the suvs and sedans, they make decent money. We also like to see our favorite sports cars! Even if they take a bit longer to sell, it’s nice to break up the content. Been enjoying the sn95 videos, hopefully you can get a 99-04 5 speed next!

    On those bmw 4.4 engines, 90% of the time it's a $10 rubber diaphragm that leaks oil into the intake which causes the smoking. So the mechanic tells you the valve seals are bad and he makes 10k on the job.
    The way to prevent the seals going bad is to drop in a thermostat that runs 10 degrees cooler. They run them at 100c for emissions purposes.
    I picked up a used 4.4 at pick a part for $400. 60k miles later it's running great.

    I'd go with a rolling 2/3 cars for the $55,000 - a mix of classic / sporty / rough & practical fixer-upper.
    As nice as the Bentley & Aston were, I think the best viewing (and best selling) is sub-$20k that needs a bit of work!

    • @simtu251
      @simtu251 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As a viewer, the cars under 10K pump me up. Like "I can do that too, with just 2k? Wow!". And even though I know Craig has a lot more money than that and he can take a loss, I'm still rooting like it's his last dollar.
      With the cars for 40-50K, it's entertaining but it's the charm of grinding is lost.

    Hey Craig: you're far more successful than I'll ever be but the thing is, you're not in this business or this series to put a smile on your face. You've got a corvette, and other cars for that. You job in this series is to flip vehicles to a ferrari. You bought the bentley, and got stuck with it for months. You bought the aston, and broke even (almost) on it. If you'd invested that money into easy to flip cars you'd probably have $80,000 in your pocket now.

    It is good that you a honest about your pricing. Virtually every used car is super inflated in value now. Your profit margins would be low. I would rather see someone like yourself making a living instead of a huge dealership. I traded my 2016 GT-R into a local Nissan dealer and you'd think I'd screwed them royally for getting 68k for trade in. Two days later it was on their website for 89,900 dollars and sold the first day. My distaste for car dealers is so deep.

    The way it worked out though I was going to be around the dealer a few days later anyways on business so I did it all then.
    My dad told me he did that all the time now. Brought vehicles for customer's place of work to make it easy for them.

If they were that proud of it, wanted that much money, then fine, put it on their lot and sell it. If not, something is wrong with it.

      Can I ask a realistic question......people are actually falling for certain ones of these scams and I'm just curious how. Why would you trust anything to begin with that doesn't come from the actual account. All the names that leave comments are obvious fakes and the messages are even worse. Not to mention they want you to message them and usually on whatsapp or some low used app. Like if you actually won they would ask you for your email or have you dm here or Instagram (on their legit account)

    I'm not in the car business, but if I were to guess...the sweet spot for used cars is the $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 range. I would buy three to four cars in the 10 to 15 thousand range...better profit opportunity and risk is spread out.

    Yeah the aston would give you more pinache, but the camaro won't send you to the poor house in repair costs. There's a + and - to everything. You could probably rebuild the camaro engine for the cost of replacing the clutch at the dealer. I think samcrac was quoted something like $6500 just for the clutch, no labour. He bought an after market one for $1200 and did it himself...well, him and sage......and some help from a mech.

    that bmw, on screen looked like white smoke, so either it has headgasket leaks, which i doubt on that year car, so most likely it's just collected condensation in the exhaust from sitting around in someones lot.

    I think you should stick with sub 5,000-10,000 cars. Seems like you make more on those usually. Obviously if a high priced one crossed the block at a great price snag it but sure seems like you make 100% even sometimes on the cheaper stuff and in general a quicker sale.

    1:59 You should've checked that Saab. It's a second gen 9⁵. They are a rare sight

    You're correct about buying anything right now could be like a game of hot potato. Personally, if I were in the business I would network looking for older people who either can't drive anymore or have died. I'm not suggesting obituary watching but getting a reputation of paying decent while also minimizing the hassle for an already overwhelmed family could be an avenue to get good cars reasonably.

    My dream car ever since I had a 2.5 RS back in 2001 I have been waiting a STI. I hope one day I can afford to buy 1

    8:40 I pretty much lost everything in 2009. House, truck, trailer, harley, everything but my tools clothes and furniture. I had $18K after the sale of the house and then I go to my bank one day and it's gone...government took it because the previous year, even though my income had dropped by 50% and I was barely feeding myself, I HAD to give them their cut.

      Here in Canada it's even worse. The housing market has gone insane. People were/are paying $1.2M for a $600K bungalow. My parent's house, which they paid $2500 for in the 70's is now worth $740,000 in a bad neighbourhood. A 1 car garage, off a popular main road in Toronto, sold for $650,000.00.
      We're in for a HUGE crash...the interest rates are going up and even 1 or 2 percent is going to put SO many people upside down on their houses.....
