Tell me about it! Prices are still crazy even though it seems they've been slowing coming down some. Thanks thanks man for stopping by for todays auction vid.
I always look forward to your videos. You make it fun and interesting. I’m glad you showed the prices on a couple of those hi top vans. I’m going to get one eventually to make into a camper so it’s nice to get a rough idea of selling prices. Thanks and have a great day.
I've been watching your videos for the past week and subscribed! Shoutout to a fellow RU-vidr and Delawarean! I live outside of Middletown. Take care. -Glen
Awesome! It's always great to come across someone local. I'm in North Wilmington and it's cool you found my channel. Thanks for watching and checking out my little slice of RU-vid.
Looks like someone saw the AutoVlog series on the danger ranger!! lol Love the walk thru videos. Good work as always! sounded like the Ram truck needed a starter. $800 wasn't a bad price for it.
I was thinking the same thing about that Ram truck. Probably a starter or even a few raps on the solenoid might have got it to turn over. I really wasn't looking to get into too much effort. And yeah, Danger Ranger, baby! I enjoy what Mike does on his channel and felt I can do something similar. I typically cherish and respect whatever car I get so taking a different approach on the right car might be something fun to try.
The "Chevy Express" you looked at is the Chevy City Express.. it's a badge engineered Nissan NV200. They're decent little around town vans.. the biggest problem with them is the CVT transmission.. The actual Express/Savana are the full size cargo vans
I love your enthusiasm and I get so excited whenever I see you posted an auction walkthrough video! I really wish you had picked up that Impala for 13k ;)
Tahoe, thats usually an entire trans rebuild. $3-4k in a shop. Torque converters go bad and take out the pump. The solenoid pack (TCU assembly) is a $5-600 part. Not a super easy part to swap since the exhaust is in the way.
@@hullinger Yeah, Those Tahoes. I would put them on the do not buy list unless you are a mechanic or have $. To many major issues that are an expensive repair.
A 2013 Focus with low miles previously owned by the state would make me nervous. Why does it have low miles? That would be because they couldn't drive it for whatever mechanical reason.
Bummer you didn't find anything worthy. Love the new segmented titles on the video progress bar. Always fun on auction inspection day!! I like the "what if" ideas...don't forget you can part out some of these rides of things you "may not need" for a "what if" video. Thinking airbags, wheels, interior, pickup beds, etc. Maybe even make the vehicle "free" after selling what's good/not needed.
I'm an auction guy myself. Haven't bought a lot but in the last couple years I've gotten 4. One being a 2006 1500hd sierra that I got for $2250 Canadian, did some repairs and sold for $8900.
I'm a little sad you didn't film the Grand Caravan right next to the S10, it looked impressively clean for its age. Oh well, guess we all have our own cup of tea :P
Wish we had a time machine I remember you going to the auction during Covid and you showed all those Ford buses and stuff they were going for PENNIES on the dollar!! Some were just ridiculously cheap .. I’m sure you remember! I should of snagged a few of them up for sure!
Yup, I totally remember those Ford buses. Must of been 10 or maybe 12 all lined up in the grass. They all sold for $4500 or less. Ahhh, the good ole days of cheap cars!
Always enjoy seeing the auction videos! I might be helping a family friend with a limited budget go find a 2008-2012 Ford Escape at auction... since the retail car lots have everything super over priced. The car market is just frustrating right now... but I was happy to see that there's still some cars selling for "relatively" low up there.
Chris, Big fan here. What was the name of that junk yard in Pennsylvania with all the vintage cars that was in the overgrown grass , bushes and trees 🌳 🤔
So the Impala you said you could flip to Carvana for 17,000 sold for 10 something you said you’d find the money to bet on it why didn’t you? Wow that’s been a hell of a flip!
I drive the Nissan version of that Chevy City Express at my work. Been a good durable van. No major issues so far. I got put in it when it was new and put 100,000 miles on it in 3 years.
My God Chris.. I can't believe those rust buckets even sold for that much.. Lol.. I think they were basically just buying them for the salt spreaders in the back..😂😂 Stay safe and stay sane Chris.. See ya next time..
Active grill shutters is nothing but a headache from what I've seen. I have a Dodge Dart and in the groups the ones with shutters are always going bad. To top it off they are expensive so most people have to do the work around.
Man, prices are nuts. The deals are long gone. You might as well buy from a dealer where you can go for a test-drive and possibly get some warranty coverage. The power front/crank rear windows in the Focus was just like my driver's ed Focus. It was a new car and the transmission was OK but the rest of the car was a piece of junk. I hated that thing. My grandfather worked at Chrysler's Newark plant from 1959 to the mid 80s. He's got all kinds of stories about the shenanigans he pulled.
I bet the states have had to keep cars longer than wanted to as like everyone else, they can't get new ones at a decent price. Sadly those Ford Focus' are dangerous and worthless. To me they should be subject to a 'death penalty recall', like done with the VW/Audi diesels that can't be fixed.
3:25..."There are no buyer fees, other than mailing in the check..." "Mailing in the check"? Are you serious? They ought to take MobilePay. Even having to dig your credit card out of your wallet is so 20th Century.
It seems the same here in the used market too, vehicles still going for a "covid" premium, don't know when it'll settle down, certainly no sign of it soon with the current world situation. The "What if?" vids gonna be the new Mythbuster but for vehicles only then?
Today's prices are just nuts. I think the Durango was a good-ish deal considering how much any SUV is selling for. I think you could get at least double what it sold for
Yeah, not a bad price for todays money. I used to buy those 4wd Durango's (2004-2009) in 2014-2018 for anywhere from $800 to $2000. Government surplus needing only very minor work. They were GREAT Suv's for the $. Everybody dogged on those 4.7l, but I really didn't have a ton of problems with them.
Sign of the times. The prices are astronomical. Nice to see physically beautiful cars for sale in Delaware where as auction in State if N.J. in Trenton is outrageous- scrap/ crashed beyond junkyard vehicles...
Man that impala would be a INSANT come up money maker, did u buy it?!? Quick easy $5k flip!! Someone got a steal! I still can’t believe that car is worth so much precovid it would be a $12k car max
Why are you going by KBB!?!? Its what the market can bare. Dodge? Focus known for HORRIBLE transmissions!?! Sorry to say this but you need help picking cars. :(
