I flew down to Kissimmee Florida to buy and sell 5 cars at the Mecum Classic Antique and High line Car auction. Transporting them to Florida turned out to be a lot more difficult than I had imagined.

@cwsmith7366 5 месяцев назад

Don't EVER put duct tape on the painted surface of a car! If it doesn't pull paint off, the adhesive will still be a bitch to remove. Instead, use the original Scotch blue masking tap. They now sell other versions of it, including one that supposedly is even easier to remove, but it has less adhesion and the fact is that the original version, even after extended application, and even after being subjected to sun or rain (yes, water) will not only do the job intended but will almost always pull off without adhesive left on the surface. But it will virtually never pull paint off upon removal.

In the ghetto in my city, you pull into the O'reilly Auto Parts, Auto Zone, etc., and every light pole has a sign that says "Absolutely no auto repairs allowed in this parking lot." Invariably you will find one guy doing an entire engine rebuild, another guy dropping the transmission, someone else doing an oil change with no drain pan, tires everywhere, batteries getting recharged. It's mayhem.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be in the business for 20 years and keep buying cars without checking them out. Does anyone else run cars through the auction with their youtube sticker in the window? NOPE. Craig does though. Then he decided to get into flipping after the market crash. I hope nobody is paying for his course on how to be a car dealer. LOL

Craig, a tip for you for the future, pick up some Dr. Shrink Shrink Wrap Tape. It is as strong as duct tape (possibly stronger) but the adhesive doesn't leave residue on paint. It is pricey but worth it. It is made for use when shrink wrapping boats.

So, the cars you can get at the famous auctions (Mecum's, Barrett-Jackson, etc.) are just as liable to have major issues and the cars sitting down at JOSE'S EXCELLENT USED CARS lot? Except they cost twice as much AND you don't get to test drive them OR take them to your mechanic for an inspections?? No, thanks. I always thought those big auction houses vetted the cars that went on their blocks. Guess not.

@Stressless2023 5 месяцев назад

@@TheEnd-eg6wq Yup the hardtop Sebring came out in 08 - The later first gen Chrysler 200 was basically just a refreshed Sebring so it kept the same hardtop design. The rear decklid opened backwards just like this SL500 and folded similarly and looked just as complex, but surprisingly for an old Chrysler I've never flipped one that the top didn't work.

I too had a 2003 SL500 that i still have nightmares about and i dont even own it anymore... It had 20k miles on it when i bought and was equally as crappy as yours. I spent over $6k to keep that top running correctly over the 2 years i owned it and there was only 1 guy in town that had a remote clue on how to work on it. In fact, when i took it to the Mercedes dealership to work on the top, they told me they do not work on those things and sent me to this independent guy who did a great job of keeping it going, but worked on it on his time schedule so it would be gone for weeks at a time. Im getting all worked up just writing this... good luck

Use 2" painter's tape, not duct tape. It'll hold long enough, it's designed to keep paint out (so will keep water out at least for a while) and won't take the clear off when you remove it.
