All of these Rental Cars are being Liquidated FAST and CHEAP! 

I used to work for an auctioneer. When we did live auctions and there were tractors etc selling some people would purposely turn on the ignition and leave it like that. When we'd go to sell it it would be dead and then it would be harder to sell. Lots of people won't bid on what they can't see running. It was done to keep the price down due to less competition. I would bet that some dealer wants all of those Toyota's and doesn't want competition for them.

Greetings from South Africa. That warning on the Infiniti, it's called the Master Warning Light. Shows for anything... You had your door open, that's why it was lit up. Got a Q60S 3.7 Coupe and I was rather concerned the first time I hopped in my car and saw that 😊

About the Kona.....just a personal preference, but I absolutely HATE this trend of some auto makers putting the rear turn signals down in the bumper.

The 2023 Kona has 2 transmission options. 1st is a 7 speed automatic and 2nd option is a cvt. I have a kia optima with a 6 speed dct and comparing them I believe that kona is a cvt.

Randy: the 2023 Kona base model you drove is the 2.0L/147hp with a CVT. The uplevel models have a 1.6L/195hp Turbo with a 7 speed DCT. A friend traded his RAM on a Kona Turbo, and it is pretty quick. They also offer a Kona N with a 2.0L/276hp Turbo with an 8 speed DCT that is very quick. Nice cars.

I had a Hyundai Kona as a rental car when by Buick was in the body shop I enjoyed driving it for three months

Most rental companies held cars until 60k during the pandemic and even in normal times they didn’t send them to auction with less than about 35k miles. So a rental going on the block with only 23k would make me suspicious. Also, the best used rentals are sold to dealers first, next from their own used car lots direct to the public and the least desirable go to the wholesale auction.

Many rental car companies keep their 'best' ones and sell them at their own direct sales lots. The are likely to sell to auction those that have been significantly damaged by vandalism, in the body, are mechanical/tech dogs.

Randy, you are the reason that I have started pulling the hood release two or three times, even on my own vehicles. Ever since I started doing that, I haven't had to walk back around the car to repop the hood. Thank you, sir.

I would be into that Avalon. 83K miles on a Toyota is nothing assuming it's at least had it's oil changes...guarantee you'll love that Infiniti less when the turbo blows and it starts burning oil...it is a Nissan after all (at least it doesn't have a CVT). But I get it, if you're only keeping it for a short period you could have fun with that car

I don’t think pulling the handle twice is what is disturbing people! People are just normally disturbed!

Remember infinite isn't reliable, durable, spacious or luxurious like the Toyota Avalon limited. All of the Seats are heated and cold Toyotas never fail

@autoauctionrebuilds 13:40 I do the exact same thing. There’s nothing like pulling it and walking up to the hood and then having to walk back and pulling the hood release again. I’ve had that happen enough times to me where I just pull it 2 or 3 times lol

As the owner of a 98 Dodge pickup with 178k trouble free miles, skepticism is quite natural on your narrative. As a rule I pay less than $5K for a car and drive it for over 100k miles. Nothing on this channel relates to me.

I drove an 89 toy p/u 20 yrs and put 225,000 mi when i sold it ,good vehicles overall.

Long Term I would take the Avalon, the Q50s with the 3.0 are known for blowing turbos but I would take an earlier 3.7 Q50 over the Avalon

Randy having to go to not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 different Toyota Camry's just to start and test drive one has got to be the best AAR moment of 2023

Those 3.0t infinitis are notorious for the turbos going out

I'd get the Avalon instead of the Infiniti, just because I HATE when cars have screens instead if buttons. If the Infiniti were older and had buttons, I'd probably choose it.

FYI, I actually own a 2020 Toyota Camry SE with 30k miles so I can tell you that it drives really well. It's got plenty of power from the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine and a 8 speed automatic transmission. I love my Camry and it starts every time...😊

The Q50 is just like my Altima and that triangle shows up when one of its doors or the trunk is open.

The triangle on the dash in the Q50 is for whenever a doors open nothing mechanical.

The triangle is the warning for the open drivers door it tells you in the square directly next to it on the right 👍🏻

Out of all the stuff you looked at Randy I think I would take either the Avalon or the Q50. Love both and they both have there pros. I would say though I really do like the Avalon cause you get some great space and they can be pretty comfy plus the mpg is pretty good. The Infiniti does have some great screens in it as well. You should try and bid on the Q50 with the price and the turbo V6 it would be pretty sweet! Overall all the cars you looked at are pretty great value though. Appreciate another great video!👍👍

I have a Toyota avalon touring 2022 and I love it.

A CVT is *acceptable* (to some) if you maintain them properly. Replace the fluid and filter every 40k to 50k miles. AFAIK, they're not easily serviced, sort of like the DCT automatic-manual transmissions.

Haha I love Toyota had a 97 rav4 with 262k had original spark plugs and wires and still ran pretty good

Yeah, if you kill the battery, you might deter others from bidding on it.

Hot take: reliability is better than sophistication

The Toyota Avalon is by far a much better car The Toyota will be problem free and that infinity will be a pile of junk in no time and worth nothing. That’s why the Toyota is $10,000 more at this stage both being 2019 models the Infiniti probably having a higher sticker price than the Avalon.

that hyndai sounds like a cvt , you can tell from the sound , cvt have a super smooth engine load almost sounds like you are revving in neutral

I’d still probably get the Avalon.. I’m biased though. I own a 2013 Avalon Hybrid. Bought it brand new and it’s approaching 200,000 miles. It’s the most efficient and reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned and I’ve bought and sold more than 80 vehicles in my adult life.

i'm pretty sure on the kona you get a CVT with the 2.0 and a 7 speed dual clutch if you get the 1.6 turbo

2022 Konas and up have A CVT and the turbo engine is an option in higher trims and that has a DCT I’m pretty sure

_"Old school"_ as our eyes scan past the in-dash USB ports. :)

Kia and Hyundai may be great cars if they don’t get stolen. There’s not a day that goes by without hearing of at least one theft and accident because of the “Kia Boys” . So good luck.

The 2023 Hyundai Kona has a turbo and naturally-aspirated engine options. The turbo ones have the 7-speed DCT for the N Line and a Limited trims. The naturally-aspirated ones are the ones that has the CVT for the SE and SEL trims.

What Randy looks for in a car, I'm looking for in a woman. Reliable, comfortable, not too expensive, nice to look at, strong and powerful yet quiet, and comes with a lot of electronics.

There is your RV there still parked by the track.☺️👍

That's crazy even on my 97 Subaru, none of the lights stay on except for the daytime running lights and there's a button on top of the steering column that runs them and you never turn them on.

People need to not be fooled.. On the Kia/Hyundia brand of cars.. Used cars your powertrain warranty expires a 6/60,000 The original 10/100,000 is for the original purchaser only. I know because I have owned those brands since 2006.

I personally have a Toyota avalon and I love it but mine is a 2000

Thanks for showing these daily driver cars today. I could use them as a work car for 200000 miles and get another

The Q is certainly a nice car, especially the Red Sport model. I'd certainly consider one if I needed a new car.

Randy that Hyundai Kona that was shown at the beginning is a CVT. Kia and Hyundai do a pretty good job ( as far as comparing to other CVTs ) at simulating the gears.

Dam randy the camrys were not having it today

Somebody is playing games with those Toyotas

The GM 3.8 L four-speed transmission was getting the same fuel economy ratings back in 2004.

Randy: we finally found a Camry we can look at! DAA Camrys: Are you sure about that?

The Toyota Camry is still a nice car and gas mileage is good 👍

Got a jeep with the 2.5l. And seen the latest 2.8l Chevrolet you picked up. I had a bretta gtz and corsica. Bretta had the guad 4 and the corsica had the 3.1

Randy Toyota has the TRD lineup of vehicles that are sportier and the looks are NOT boring looking.

On my 2020 dodge charger I left the headlights on by accident and apparently the computer shut them off soo the battery didn't die

I have nothing against the 20 22 and 20 23 Toyota Camry I'm pretty sure brand new with a wortey it's a 100 thousand miles from the car dealership

Cvt after 2nd gear, first gear is metal, and probly reverse is 1st gear, better than the early jenco trans but will still last 125-140,000 miles

Toyotas (& Lexus) really are the best cars in the world. I'd have more faith in a 20yo Camry than a brand new Range Rover. Just bulletproof.

The Camry SE gets 39MPG!

I liked the Kona, nothing special but a good running gas saver. The Q50 rocks! You gotta bid on that one!

YES Finally YOUR GOING TO LOVE THE INFINITI I GOT A 2015 Q50 awd WITH THE 3.7 L 200.000 MILES

The 2.0L in the Kona is a naturally aspirated motor. The Kona has an IVT trans unless you get a Kona N Line or the Kona N. Those come with same DCT as the Elantra N Line

That Hyundai you drove got a cvt transmission in it

Randy's self-made series........who needs "Fast and Loud"? WE'VE got "Fast and Cheap"! Much more real and entertaining. And the star of the show has more positive character 👍🇺🇸😎 (Randy is AWESOME! The other guy from the TV show, R. Rawlings - not so much)

18:53 at my job we have a bunch of 2021+ Camry's, Corolla's and the occasional Sequoia/Tundra with dead batteries. It seems to be a common thing now that im seeing it on your side.

The Kona is a terrible car worked on plenty at my shop and had one as a rental before with 17k miles transmission was slipping bad but was a 22 model don’t know if much changed though

The only reason I would not buy the Q50 is if it cost more than the Avalon. At seventeen thousand its like robbery with a "paddle".

The Infinity and the Lexus brands require SUPER unleaded

I have wanted a Q50 for 4 years now. I would buy one if i could!! Beautiful vehicle!!!

In portugal those Hyundai Kona is called KAUAI because Kona/Cona it's vagina in portuguese. In europe they are sold with 1.0 liter 3 cilinder with 125cv

When it comes to cars I'm a honda or Toyota guy but that q50 surprised me. I'm now rethinking my life choices.

Randy, with the many cars that you find with dead batteries, how come you don't bring your battery jump starter with you to IAA when you test drive?

The hood release thing. I get it you are correct.

If I remember right triangle is windshield washer flood low

Run away from the Infiniti FAST! We had a brand new 2015 Q50 and it was a lemon, those fancy touch screens didnt work half the time. Plus that one you were in was a base model. No navigation, no parking sensors, no surround cameras. We now have a Lexus ES350 that is cousin to the Avalon, and it’s 10x more reliable and more tech than our old Infiniti.

Synthetic leather, "Softex" or vinyl really in the Camrys. Toyota has been doing that for some reason and I don't like it. My Highlander has perforated leather on the four captain's chairs on the seating surfaces only and then the backs/headrests and sides of the seat are softex or vinyl.. the third row bench seat is softex too. I believe the Avalon is real leather on the seating surfaces only. I would stick with the Camry's or the Avalon. My preference is for the Avalon, it should have a volume adjustment for the backup sensor beep in the settings menu. And the Solara was the two door of the Camry or it also came in a convertible. They quit making those in 2007/08 I believe, I like those too. Cars I buy now are longterm and Toyota is the best bet imo.

The triangle on the Q50n was for the door being open. I'm on my 5th Infiniti and won't drive anything else. 'm in a 2019 Q70-L sedan now with the 5.6L V8 and over 400hp. They don't import those anymore. The Q50 is the only sedan they sell here. I also have a 2022 QX80 SUV.

Transmission 7-speed automatic, Continuous variable transmission for the Kona

That is a very nice Avalon and gets great gas mileage.👍

Randy, I think the Hyundai is a sports automatic dual clutch transmission, at least that’s what they sell with here in Australia.

I would pick the Camry or Avalon

Actually the Toyota line up for the corollas and Camry’s are the xse and for the Avalon I believe it’s limited for the top trim

I have 22 Camry, I get 40 to 45 mpg, and they have plenty of power. I paid 26k for mine

The Avalon used to be built on the same frame as the Lexus LS. Much better quality then

Toyota and Lexus is what I am partial towards and will only drive these days. The Camry SE has the sport tuned suspension and they handle really nice, like they are on rails. I had a 2012 and living in an area with lots and hills and curves I could do 60-70 mph without breaking a sweat. It would eat up a set of nice Michelins before 30k miles though. Anything Hyundai, Kia or Infiniti I personally avoid.👎🏼 My mom has some sort of Infiniti wagon looking thing, I forget the letter and numbers. It's a 2016 or '17 that I know and the engine sounds like a rattle trap to me, it is really unimpressive but I didn't pay for it.

Thinking about interest rates being high, in November 1981, new car interest rates reached an all time high of 17%. I wanted to buy a new car, but kept my '68 Ford for a few more years.

Randy, I give my vote to the INFINITY is more power with twin turbo.

You forgot about the Nissan Rubber Band Transmissions , That Infiniti is only worth the Price of scrap.

Nice content Randy as always and, was away for a while but now am back.!!....Was laughing loud on you trying to find us a Camry....and your point about Toyota, being reliable and well built, I think I`ll take the note. Thank you Randy.

ive always hated infinities, but that Q50 is nice and it sounds good unlike the G series

You can't beat the Q50 for the money and it's all wheel drive.

That Infinite Q50 would be a great choice. 😊

Hello Randy. The 2023 Hundea Kona is a good looking car even though it's got scrapes down one side. The 2023 Toyota Camery is a good looking car even though it has a mirror cap missing.

My Kia Sportage 6 cylinder was a 2.5 L which matched the same size of that Camry 4 cylinder.

You parked the Avalon in the wrong g spot the blueish Subaru wagon was on your left when you were backing out ! So much about parking in the same spot !Ha Ha ! There was a black Hyundai in front of the Avalon ! Oh well ? Not a big deal I'm sure ! Love your channel and watch every day ! God Bless !

I have a Saturn Ion going on 20 yrs old buddy :) 2004 2.2, :)

The Q50 all day.. love your content. Respect

Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2020 3.5 V6 this generation of Nissan Pathfinder is based designed on Nissan Maxima, Nissan Pathfinder seven seats, just fun Crossover SUV, twin version of Nissan Pathfinder, Infinity QX60 luxury brand of Nissan, newer Nissan Pathfinder 2021-2024 higher in price because of current inflation crisis, most people are going Toyota Prius used and Toyota hybrid vehicles and EVS the will go up.

Yes sir it is a CVT transmission.

The Kona gets the IVT (Hyundais name for a CVT) unless it has the 1.6T, those have a 7 speed DCT

The 2021 I rented had a 2.0 N/A had a 6 speed trans axle,

Hi Randy, someone is sabotaging you, especially leave the key turned in the ignition, to drain the battery, so you can't start the car.
