I won a 2006 Hyundai Azera from IAA for $800!! Better than a Toyota Camry? 

Lunar Outlaw is a really cool channel. Thanks for sharing for us. Also, that Toyota is definitely better than our Camry. Lol.

I think you’re nailing it with this new content. With the car market as crazy as it is, you need to show people how to find great deals like this. Auto Auction Deals

I knew that Azera would be spiffy after a detail! Nice car and a bargain! The "ESC OFF" light on the dash is for the Electronic Stability Control. There is a button on the lower dash to left of wheel (panel you glued back in place) that you depress to shut ESC Off. You must have pressed it after initially starting the car. When you restarted back at the shop, the ESC light was off as the system defaults to ESC On when started. Maybe with the ESC OFF it allowed you to do the burn-out! Good luck at IAA, she is a good one.

I owned a 2010 Azera for three years. Loved the car to death. One thing to check on the Azera's though is the CV Axle boots in the front. Working at a Hyundai dealer, I see a lot of these generation Azera's with that issue as well as my own. But other than that, these were amazing cars if they were well maintained. If I remember correctly, the gray key is the valet/spare key. The black key is the master key. Both keys should work in the ignition. This car is amazing. Congrats!

I can't believe this car sat around for $800! You've gotten a lot of great bargains lately; but this one may be the best. Will make someone an excellent daily driver for sure.

I loved driving my Inlaws Azera, it got up to 100 MPH nice and quick! they sold it to her sister at 100,000 miles and still running!

I told you. It's a gorgeous car. And for that price??? I love that car. Luxury on a budget.

Randy! I don’t think you’re being lazy at all for one second when it comes to not cleaning the cars yourself! I think it’s great that you are supporting local small businesses! The Hyundai turned out great!

I am truly stunned that no other dealer in your Area has stepped up to buy your cars direct. If you were not clear across the country I would be trying that’s for sure.

I vaguely remember when these came out,and didn’t realize they were that expensive when new. It looks like a nice car.

Randy, I appreciate your honesty in the repair and while I am not positive it looks like you remove 2 bolts and lift up the side of the dash and remove 3 bolts that hold on the broken "triangle" bracket and then off to LKQ. That is a great car and someone will be very happy with it for sure.

glad you did this one randy. I just bought an 09 got her for $2700 nice carfax runs and drives great amazing but a little body damage i love how this car drives so smooth and powwerful! Good score for short money!!

At the end just goes to show why I, and ton of others, love your channel Randy. 100% real and no b.s. not to mention "Shear" honesty & integrity!

You could of used the hot glue to hold the pieces after you applied epoxy or something. The epoxy would hold the dash together more permanently.

These 2006 era Hyundai's are beast !! Had droven the 2006 Sonata back in 2012 rear wheel drive. The torque squeeze you hard in the seats when you put the foot on throttle. 🔥

Randy, glad you got this Azera. This is so much better than the Camry/Avalon of the same time. Forces Toyota to work even harder on their car designs. Hyundai of this time frame really wowed and stunned the automotive world when Toyota was top around the world. This was also around the time when Toyota was under fire for the 'unintended and uncontrolled acceleration' that caused one of the biggest factory recalls in their history and they had to face the Supreme Court for the defects that spanned as far back as 1998. But I really wish you would keep this one. If Jessica likes it, why not let her drive it? Keep it for a year or so and then turn around.

Very nice ride 4 or 5 .k all day long Randy, in today's market might go for more . You did great Salute 🚘👍

This was a car I wanted lol, the 2011 had a different front end 2012 was the second gen, I’ve never found one this nice, this car had rain sensing wipers, and the optional radio

Randy, I think you should keep the Hyundai, that is a beautiful car. I wish I can go back to US and buy a car once you send it back to auction. I enjoy all of your videos! Greetings from Managua, Nicaragua 🇳🇮.

Let’s gooooooo Randy! I think those are good little cars. Great little car to get your teenager or just a commute daily

I have one here in Brazil, it's a excellent car, comfortable, reliable and affordable.

Nothing wrong with turning and burn and we got to test drive it from the auction thanks for putting another good car back on the road

The Azera is a nice ride. Our ‘17 Sonata has been an excellent vehicle. Hyundai has really stepped up in the past and present. We love the Sonata; 38 mpg on the highway. 😎 Two minute epoxy would have been a good choice for the dash repair. Thanks again for another quality video. 👍🏻

Walmart brand baby wipes will sometimes remove the dark stains from the carpet in ur car. You have to squeeze all of the liquid from the wipe. Then wipe aggressively until stain fades. Works most of the time.

I'm glad you done the car the right way by getting it detailed. Its a beautiful car. I don't blame you if you don't want to spend it to auction. You should do a car giveaway or help a family in need

Randy, great score on the Hyundai 👍 As for the plastic pieces and your repair, well I for one appreciate the full disclosure, even though like you said it wouldn’t really have affected the sale of the car. That being said, maybe let Nick do the repair next time , lol. Now, get her SOLD !!

This is a really nice car, competes against the toyota avalon and lexus es. The high quality interior with the leather seats plus heated seats, leather on the doors, soft touch upper dash, rain sensing wipers, auto electronic steering wheel, infinity stereo, wood trim and rear sunshade. I know a lot of people will most likely bash me saying thats just a cheap made hyundai but its not, I've sat in one and I was very impressed with the quality and how everything felt. It definitely felt avalon or es, and at a much cheaper price when new! This was definitely a good one you found, stylish too!

Randy I have never gave you a thumbs down! Your content is awesome buddy you work hard for everything you have!

Hyundai cars in that era was superb and very reliable especially sonata and azera from 2006 to 2010

As long as it runs and drives any $800 car is a good car...... right

Wow, we reside in unprecedented times when a 15- year old Hyundai with 200 K is valued at nearly 6 K. Prior to the pandemic, it would've been worth maybe $800, and Randy you would've bought it for $500. If you can make a profit, cool. I feel sorry for someone buying from these buy here now places. With the upsurge in prices, I can only imagine what they are charging!!

love the videos randy! your channel has grown so much since the Aztec, proud of your work and i can’t wait to see how much more you grow over the years

Electronic Stability Control issue could be a wheel speed sensor. I had a hub go bad on a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. Scan for codes and verify it is clear and review the history to make sure the issue doesn't pop up later. Hyundai had a change in leadership around 2005 when the son of the former chairman took over the company and decided to put quality first. Their workmanship really truly improved in the 2006 model year.

Enjoy your videos I like how u show your whole experience in buying auction cars Randy I’m a Copart buyer very inspirational keep it from Randy from Wisconsin

These are super cheap here in NZ, and I think they are actually a great bang for buck opportunity . . . ha ha . . . You need to up your bodge brothers game Randy, at least throw in a cable tie and a self tapping screw next time !! She cleaned up really well . . . go well with the Auction !!

I love this car, it kinda reminds me of the 2006 Lexus ES 350

Got an 07 with only 69k and its been the best car. Outside of a tire pressure monitor going out it's had no problems. Drives like a dream.

Got my 06 at 123000 in 2023 and put 98000 mile more in less than a year and still purr

I knew I always liked these, too bad they didn't sell many cause they were so damn expensive for a hyundai, but they are definitely great quality built for the day. Sweet content man.

Another car most people would be happy to own and drive. A car dealers license would be great to have but unless Oklahoma is different than any state I lived in the requirements are both endless and expensive. Great video and all in one. That's why your succeeding.

The Azeris was the genesis before genesis… what’s odd is that they kept making them until fairly recently.

Such a beautiful Hyundai. Was a will taken care of vehicle and it shows in the video. I also like the color.

Car market is crazy right now, a running and driving decent car is a steal at $800

Randy, I realized today that I drive RIGHT past IAA on I-35 on my way to Texas. I remember Lunar from awhile ago when he was going to to the 318 swap in that old Dodge. Good to see he is still around. I watched the last video and was stoked to see you buy this car man! I know about them and have always liked them. Nice cars.

That Hyundai seems a really good car ,I just looked it up it said the 3.8 v6 has 264 bhp

Thank you so much I really do appreciate the motivation. If it wasn’t for your channel I would’ve never knew what IAAI or Copart was

Hello Randy. Congrats on winning the Hyundai Azaria. The car looks nice.

Nice score .Don’t sweat the hot glue repair.Im sure it will sell fast .Very well maintained cruiser .

I think thats one of the nicest Hyundai of its time. Great score for the price. The hot glue wasnt a bad idea! Next time try some 3M Super Molding Tape. It might work better, it might not. I know it'll stick emblem and moldings to a cars paint permanently lol I've used it for so many things. The stuff is worth its weight in gold especially on emblems that come off or get stolen and replaced with a used one. A razor blade and a little time and good as new! Good luck with it man! Someone is getting a good one!

Double sided body molding tape for the plastic pieces has worked for me. Take a razor blade and scrape off the excess glue residue? Came out looking great! Thought Jessica might have wanted it to drive.

This is a great car, you did exactly what I would have done. Keep up the great work Randy. 😎

ESC is Electronic Stability Control,, It is not a trouble light,, it is a control option that can be turned on or off,,, :-)

I approve the glue. Looks 100% better.

I`ll take it glued for its not bad Randy and drive it all day long man coz I have witnessed how it moves man.. ..Love what you do man..

Azera, was the design the Sonata took over, you did headlights, but you forgot the fog lamps.

Pretty good deal for 1100. The video quality from that phone you are using is amazing

I would keep that Azeri as a daily driver. Nice find Randy!

I think the Azera the best car ever you had , Reliable 3.8 , strong engine , luxurious, good looking car cheap parts

Smoking’ deal here on the Hyundai. 😎👍🇨🇦

Olive oil on headlights works a treat

Fix it the right way by using plastic welding tools. Uses a soldering iron with flat tips to melt the plastic back together. Hot glue will just pop off.

it shows your character when you sho what you're doing to the car to the public. kudos

I see that the car has a inspection sticker from Texas with a date of 10-22. And the 3.8 in them are great engine's.

would definitely choose this car over a camry!

Those LEDs were so sick I've never seen one with them burnt out

Hyundai is giving Honda and Toyota a run for the money these days.

Awesome car. I love Hyundai. Reminds me of when I took my sister's tiny i10 over 100mph in the video "Hyundai i10 1.2 (57kW) Terminal Speed"

I've watched a few videos over at Lunar Outlaw's. He really can wrench on cars. By the way Randy, 27,022 views - 2.7K Likes - not 1 dislike. You must be doing something right!

Double sided tape to hold the plastic pieces together.

my brother actually owns a 2012 Azera ( Limited ) and it’s fully loaded. very nice. The 2012 is different from this year though.

Been watching the channel for a while and it was because of you

Randy! The best thing for cleaning headlight lenses is mosquito repellent!! The more you spray on,the clearer they become!!

Heyyy I love ur vid keep up the good work loves

It's beautiful, the colour is very understated handsome too. I don't know how you can't drive these cars for at least a week or so and enjoy them, be like a car reviewer that never drives their own car cause there's always something to drive for work

Awesome Randy! I'll check out the other channel after this

Oh wow... That glue at the end... :S I really liked the rest of the video :D Great car!

I had a 06 limited with the pearl white color only had 145,000 miles on it, it drove like a Lexus at first but every now and then it'll jerk while driving(transmission? Idk) and my heater core went out as well so i traded it in but it was a beautiful car, especially the back of the car, i truly miss it, if i can find one again i would buy one in a heartbeat...

Brian, that is the best sounding Supra of any generation I have ever heard.

Welcome to Craft Time, with Randy!

That car is from my neck of the woods. It does not snow much down here so you should have a rust free undercarriage.

We have never had pieces of dashboard fall off our Camry. I realize the comparison to quality was just being facetious, but some might not catch that. Still, for cheap transportation, the vehicle serves its purpose well.

ESC is the electronic stability control and you can turn it off/on from the left side of the car where you where trying to fix that panel with a glue gun. Thank you and have a nice day!

I might buy this when it runs back through the auction! My moms Prius just died and she is currently Ubering to work. I think she would love this car! And I will fix the plastic panel properly. No hate towards your fix for it though.

I did not know Walmart offered to clean up headlights!! That is awesome!

I would have tried to melt the plastics from behind or put a metal clip behind it with rivets sure u would have seen the lil screws when u got in but it wouldn't be that noticable.

I always liked that hyundai azera and wanted to get one back in the days. And glad you got it for the channel.

Do they have to lift cars that run and drive with those stupid forks? Could be fine until a fuel line gets pinched or the exhaust or suspension gets ruined? Just something I have never seen as a Brit, they just don't do that! We never got the azera here either, looks a fantastic car, smooth and well equipped for sensible money, ideal. You're an honest guy, knowing what's been done is so much more important than paying for a detail getting surprised later. Huge respect.

Yes we South Carolinans take good care of our cars will most of us!

Hyundai made their fortune selling rebranded British cars like the Hyundai Ford Cortina which was extremely popular in Asia, they also did a version of the awful Morris Marina and the Stellar was Hyundai's first foray into their own body styling utilising the floor pan of the MK4/5 Ford Cortina skinned with Hyundai's own exterior panels. The first Hyundai Coupe also used a Ford Escort bodypan almost identical to that of the American Fox body that shared the MK3 Ford Escort body pan and sections.

Whao, oh oh, okay, this feels good, holy crap, guys, whao, i love it!

I will be 100% with you not a hyundai fan but that is a good looking car

There's your new entrance for your RU-vid channel LOL

"I hate the way some of these people drive". Proceeds to get in the slow lane and floor it past everyone, lol!

The azera is the next step up from the sonata

Lunar outlaw is a great channel I'm already subscribed to his channel for awhile man u stole that Toyota u got it for a fantastic deal and now she looks Phenomena now great job randy keep the great job u randy

Gotta say this is a much better format of a video... Straight forward, no bs, no "wow guys im gonna keep this car forever and ever" and after two weeks "well guys im selling this thing because it makes no sense to keep it"... or "oh man if i could i would keep it with me but you see i cant so im selling it so go buy it" no "in the next episode of our soap opera "Days of our Randy", will Randy manage to drive (insert some dead car here) from the lot to his house" etc... Just straight forward... Showed the car, made a mini review on it, fixed it up here and there, thats it, off to the next one... Sure its no rebuild content of whatever but its a straight forward, normal video... More videos like that...

2012 Cruzes the aluminum rims like that tend to leak air around the bead

I’ve been subbed to lunar for I think over a year now

Batman doesn't call Robin the Boy Wonder for nothing.

You found a diamond in the rough. Turn on the ESC and it will be a great car for a family to get on the road.
