I am really enjoying the flood cars episodes. I like them all because I am in my end days and it is great to watch you guys the nights that I can't sleep. God bless you boys.
After you found out about the van engine issue, next I see is your head on your arm/table showing the bummer position, then raised your head up with a smile... very classic. Always be positive.
It's amazing to see cars like this that are TITLED salvage and to think of all the people that think buying a salvage car is a bad idea. Yes I understand that there are risks involved but at least do the research. Great work Niko Brothers.....Definitely MOTIVATING.
yes its a bad idea. poor ppl buy these cars and end up having continuous electrical issues which cost thousands down the road until they are scrapped. these cars should be crushed.
Niko brothers..... thank you all so much for your HONESTY. Am really enjoying your program all the way from London, England..... Keep It Up Guys👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man sorry about the Sienna. But love this content and your channel. The positive attitude is awesome...life is a series of solving problems, might as well solve them with a smile!
In honor of all these flood cars, you guys should warn viewers of the sneaky practice of "washing" title on salvage cars. Some unscrupulous buyers will purchase a vehicle in one state, and register it in another where the salvage status is not indicated on the title. Then they sell it with a supposedly "clean" title for a lot more. You can discover the history of any car by running the V.I.N. on one of the services which do that- carfax, autocheck, etc. Cheap for the peace of mind.
You guys are doing great, just one stumble in the road I am sure you can get an engine for the Sienna. Positive attitude is the key. Great video content and keep going. Stay safe and healthy thanks 😊
Love your vids restoring the flooded cars but what would be really good if you could occasionally take us through the whole procedure from your winning bid to the eventual sale to a happy customer. Lots of editing , I know, but very rewarding viewing.
Thanks for sharing it all. The good bad and the ugly. My life long friend we met in 1960 . It's long story. But we've been friends more like brothers. Anyway we live in Greenville and may pay you a visit. If that's OK. Take care
Flood cars are a mixed bag because you never know what your going to get. Worst is all the electrical issues, modules and wiring etc and of the course dealing with the green monster....corrosion, even worse when its salt water. Biggest problem I find is that the electrical issues even when you think they are gone always seem to sneak up later on... and it becomes a constant headache. Worst is when you see some guy go and buy the salvage flood vehicles clean them up and then sell them on ebay and marketplace etc and say it was a freshwater flooded vehicle...lol and those guys are the worst they do as little as possible and just clean them up replace the least they can and try and selling them at a profit without doing next to nothing to them. Your braver souls than I am parts yes, would I try and resell one...no Just to avoid the headaches of an unhappy customer who might not be happy down the road.. If you were keeping it for yourself maybe.... but I try and avoid them other than parts.
You guys are doing an awesome job on recovering the flooded vehicles. We’ve lost a vehicle to flooding before so we know how nasty that can be but we appreciate the painstaking process you’re going through to bring them back. Sorry about the Toyota van but that’s only one out of eight. I’d say you’ve got a pretty good record going. Keep it up. My brother had to buy a car in Nashville this week and the market is very tight and way over priced. So I know you will be helping many people with these cars.
great video again, really enjoy them although some of the cars are unknown here in the UK.....you work ethic is fabulous and take everything as it come...great attitude.....look forward to all your videos, keep up the good work....
Great video. Going to be some good content stripping out the engine and getting a replacement. Quick question, what happened to the RV up north from you? Did you give up with it in the end?
what happened with the sienna? did it hydrolock and that's why the rod went through the block? how come you're able to still spin it? thanks for the great videos
If the automatic trans fluid looks like a strawberry shake, drain it immediately and change the filter. Then cycle it some and drain it and fill it again. You might have to do this more than 2 times.
When it comes right down to it, I think you still did very well concidering how many cars you bought and how many where actually bad. 👌👍 Is this a one off thing, or are you starting up a used car lot? (or maybe you already have a lot)😀👍
Well one car out of all those (however many) is OK I'm my book. You could sell as a none runner but I reckon you will get an engine for it . There is still plenty of work to do on all the other cars. Great video Brothers. 👍
Should always remove the plugs when turning them over, that engine may of been good to start with. If u think it’s hydrolocked, in the past we poured diesel in and left it 24 hours and it was fine
I have seen many customers with their Side x Sides and Atv's coming in for warranty after a mud bog event and not having a clue why their engine shot a rod through the block? No, they knew and were just playing dumb. Polaris has a coating on the throttle body plates that turn a pinkish color when water hits them and it's game over and time to break out the wallet for a new SBT long block.
@@NikoBrothers i used to work for a rustproofing company and we did this because is is energy efficient is does not take much space and light up very well
Your smashing it with these cars fantastic buys and I am sure you guys can and will sort any problems that might rear it's ugly head.we really can not get enough of you guys in the UK everyone talking about the Audi beautiful car you should keep that one 👍👍👍👍👍👌
Make sure the Subaru Eyesight works, front impact safety technology, it’s probably a electrical problem with cruise control. The Nissan Maxima has biohazard, mold inside the white powdery substance, mildew inside. The Toyota Sienna is probably not running since it has starting problem, so check for bio written on the windows. Check out for biohazard if it does this means that water sat in the interior and mold spread through the interior, bio, mold, mildew, stench smell, like it’s not pleasant.
nice job guys as always On 26:42 you forgot the paper on the intake and the engine has sucked it but anyway the engine is bad , be careful not to do that on a good engine . Love those videos
People ask how much they should pay for a "good deal" on a flood car. First of all, I would not recommend buying a non-runner, unless you're a mechanic and have a shop like the Niko Brothers. When I was in the business, I would tried to buy 'clean titled' auction cars for less than wholesale value. I could then afford to repair and sell them for wholesale value and everyone was happy. For a salvage vehicle, I'd try to stay around 1/4 wholesale value. The thing is, if it's a popular make and model, you'll be bidding against other guys who may just want "that car" and in their head are bidding against retail book price. If it's at the auction, it's NEVER worth retail. A lot of salvage cars these days go overseas, where the title status doesn't mean anything as long as it looks good and runs.
