Copart: I Bought the Cheapest Auction Audi S5 with Minor Damage! Fixed in Minutes inspire by Samcrac 

Yup I just went through this myself. Won a 2010 Prius for $1000, they came back at $3700. It was laughable

These are the times to get deals

@@Evolution246 I've actually found it different. More people are off of work and watching the auctions then I've ever experienced. Normally about 1500-2000 in my local auction but there was 7000 when I was bidding on thursday

They're all a RIP off. Notice they removed the field that used to state the estimated repair costs? Just an attempt to drive higher prices.

@@shawnm.1540 Noticed that.and now cuz of covid u cant walk your local lot. They dress it up nice for wifi warriors.risky🤔

Consejeria Juridica e Inmobiliaria I see it too badly

How do you change a change a car from salvage title to clean?

@@ultimaterobbiebuild2505 I dont think you can, if you dont want it to be salvage, I believe you can get it registered as a "Rebuilt" title. Once a car had a salvage title, it can never be a clean title again.

Sounds like a toy car it's terrible

Eric I agree. Makes it sound cheap.

Intake + pulley upgrade + remap = 400hp+ easy though. Personally I love the supercharger whine

Macca 95 me too I love the whine all these haters smh

Joona it’s not the intake it’s the supercharger whine it’s a desired taste 😂

Its the supercharger

😂😂😂

Kirex Thanks for the tip! I never knew that!

Edgar Rivera 🙏

jim law Wow thats crazy haha

Frank Valencia Thank you for the kind words 😊 🙏

@Maxime LY well the air flow sensor can be damaged and may also read faulty. You are doing it more for the sound than what it is good for the car and its performance. Sad but true.

@Maxime LY I agree with you, it is not worth it.

not if you buy a real cold intake that is down by the ground. those kind also suck in water tho and require an engine tune

Very wrong, most top end aftermarket air intakes will out-perform stock air intake systems. I work in a tuning garage and almost always gain HP after adding aftermarket systems. They pair even better with cars that have been stage 1 and 2 remapped also. The benefits usually drop off when people forget to clean them.

Elias Schmid may i know why coasting in neutral is bad?

Mihir Bro I was the same, even if you get a wrecked civic and spend the $2500 it will be a car you can sell for $5-6k, and the from there you can keep moving up.

@@JohnStax98 That's exactly what I was thinking. I was looking for more of the Japanese cars just simply cause they are easier to maintain and cheaper for parts. I might as well save up for that then. I also subbed because you took the time to read my comment, and I really appreciate that.

Do you know which diffuser is the best? I looked at the ebay ones and the reviews say its like an inch to short

I have the AWE touring and single pulley APR on mine, sounds perfect!

Derek Parsons any heat issues with the single pulley?

Honestly it runs perfect. I bought it used with 43k and didn't even realize it had the tune and pulley already, 82k on it now. Owned it for 3 years now.

Thanks 🙏

TK's Garage Thanks! 😊 🙏

The air filter makes a terrible noise

That would make sense if he kept it as a personal, but a few grand profit is always nice

How did it go? Did it cost a lot to repair? Did you end up reselling it?

@@GTNOfficial For a new quarter panel, rear bumper, wheel, suspension components, and taillight it was about $4,500 in repairs. With how the market for these cars is right now, I could get about $21-$22k out of it.

Bout what he’s got invested honestly. Salvaged only gets to reconstructed title and never clean title but if buying for yourself a S5 typically costing well above $40k used your saving yourself $

CrispyImmy I will definately check it out!

Thanks 🙏

Adam Mathew Thanks! Also the A5 is great, lots of aftermarket support and sometimes I wish mine had a turbo.

It's a 2017 , manual S-series, with low miles he made sure its gonna be worth 40k when he's done with it

@@marquisethomas5611 it has a salvage title it wont be worth 40K

@@wiks101 certified rebuilt title cars go for almost the same money as clean title cars all the time, its just a long process of getting the insurance company to deem it rebuilt so most people don't even try

@@marquisethomas5611 A salvaged, reconstructed or otherwise “clouded” title has a permanent negative effect on the value of a vehicle. The industry rule of thumb is to deduct 20% to 40% of the Blue Book® Value, but salvage title vehicles really should be privately appraised on a case-by-case basis in order to determine their market value. so NO you are wrong!

@@marquisethomas5611 Uhhhh no. Book estimates are 70% of retail and that can be a stretch sometimes since buyers are very hesitant to buy a car with a rebuilt title regardless of the situation. I spent significantly more time selling those than clear title cars. My last one I sold had a 1,000 mile engine/trans I put in it since the block had a minor crack. (I wouldn't buy a car like that nor would I sell one) Even with a literally brand new engine/trans and no other issues, it took quite some time and I didn't get full retail. Similar experiences with other sales, though the more popular the car, the better your odds. A lot of the stuff you see guys like this guy and that crack guy post are going to be difficult to sell because there aren't big markets for high end rebuilt cars... Well.... there are people that are interested; however, those people don't have money and are looking for a deal. People with money to buy those cars are not going to buy a rebuilt one. In regards to *this* car, if he really only has $15K in it, he probably would come out OK if he flips it since book is around $30-35K. Even with a 30% discount, you are talking $21K+ sales price and profit $6k+ Not horrible. (though his estimates obviously didn't include his time / effort or opportunity cost of tying up cash in car, etc.)

Junxian Wu Its awesome! Everyone is always shocked when they see the 3rd pedal 😆

JohnStax they would be like : wtf Audi with manual??? xD

Junxian Wu Every-time 😆

In carbon, that would look really nice. Obviously not a huge one, just a small lip

CocaineVision Thanks!

SR20DEV8 Thanks! 🙏 ☺️

@@JohnStax98 i got a different tag on Instagram @Simplify420.

Yes, you used to post, but you haven't posted recently. Loved your channel. What happened???????

John Almon I.I.I. Thanks! 🙏

😂

@@JohnStax98 but the car is amazing bro

Marquise Thomas 😅

@@JohnStax98 I'm jealous man

Marquise Thomas No need to be jealous, theres a bunch of deals out there!

@@JohnStax98 I've been looking all day lol

Mike C thank you! 😊 🙏

Joshua Provost Thanks 😁

robbe jansens Correct, your not supposed to do that. I was just going faster than I should’ve and I didn’t want to downshift so I went into neutral. I usually go into neutral when stopping as well.

Brian I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you for taking the time to write a thorough response 🙏

@@Brian-jv8iy are you sure about that because that would waste fuel... I've drivven in with dsg transmissions before and from what i can remember they stay in gear and engine brake to save fuel en stop quicker

Thank you 😊 🙏

This one is a 2017 with 18k miles. The kbb is $35k with clean title, Maybe $28k with rebuilt.

Michael Criscio I asked 2 wheel shops and they said its beyond repair. Ended up ordering a used one that needs refinishing for $350 😫

Wheels America is where it’s at. 24 hour turn around time, an: they charge $120 per wheel with tire mount and balance

Do yours have a Hard-pipe or silicone?

JohnStax Hard pipe

i have this intake on my s4 and its not as loud as this video makes it sound. The audio is crap.

Jin Yoon You have to give a specific amount of throttle for maximum sound.

@@JohnStax98 Im stage 2 dual pulley. You think ive never gone wide open throttle? your audio is bad.

Thank you!

Bruh Yota Thanks, I used Canon M50, Gopro Hero 6 and Iphone 11 Camera.

Shek1lla 🤔

What a beauty.. best driving experience u can get for that price point imo

Thanks!

Jason Zidong Jiang I had Jack stands for backup 👍

Dj Voski I will probably put the Stock filter on but keep the larger inlet pipe. Not really a fan of the tacky looking cone filters.

JohnStax What is the progress..Definitely changing the stock piping will help

SETtheHOOK Thanks!
