This Lexus RC-F deserves a closer look at the scammer's tricks 

So much time spent doctoring the car but forgot to paint the heads of the drywall screws white. Amateurs.

That Lexus looks like it played full contact football with construction vehicles and lost the game.

Twenty thousand in air bags alone ? No wonder these things get writen off.

Keep on exposing this FRAUDS Scott it is Shameful that these auctions are letting this type of robbery go on

You're onto something good, keep it rolling

Going to the car in person made this so immersive. 🙌

Thanks Scott ! That was a surprise when you was there in person! To me that car looks like a piece of junk and would not even make much of a parts car .. Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP!!

It's not even Friday! LOVE IT

Look at this guy, live on location!

I love these videos, keep em coming!

Thank you for all that you do. Hope you are recovering from the fire. Keep up the great work!

These vids are really helpful in my education process. Thanks Scott.

Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing what you picked up in Miami.

Great video. Thanks for your keen eye and sharing this. I can only imagine a DIYer buying this junk and losing his buns on it

Great segue Scott and funny surprise too. Never expected a _live_ video of the wreck made by you. Brilliant!! 👍👍

Looking forward to more vids from the miami lot....have seen some smokin deals down there, but been too paranoid to pull the trigger due to scammers like this...the live walk around was a great add on to this series...keep them coming scott💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊

I love this type of videos , I would’ve never guessed this kinda trickery went on

Scott, you are the man! I hope the trip was worthwhile for you in that you bought a good salvage or parts car.

Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work

YESSSSS PLEASE GO and look at these SCAM vehicles as this really brings to light on the scam. Good content!!!! I'm sure YT profit will pay for the plane tickets

Love your work Scott

Your scammer videos are awesome. I have learned a lot on what to look out for!!!!

Good to see you again, Scott!🍻

Great video Scott. Thx

I recently purchased a used vehicle, and in the process came across a seller here in my area that has several so called clean rebuilt vehicles. Only - after seeing so many of the videos that Scott has done, I'm jaded and look at them with a super critical eye now. I saw two of them in recent days that really looked nice until you started to look at the little details, and then the larger stuff was easier to see as well. Their work is a little better than the Florida crew, but still obvious enough to make me shudder (and thankful for all of the excellent videos that have been done showing shoddy workmanship).

I enjoy these videos immensely. I learn a lot each video.

Awesome info. Discussing that people can get away with this.

Thank you scott for taking the time to point this out. I see this in my business as well , And it's funny.I remember you when I think Hey, I can get away with cutting a corner now!

An extremely informative video. I'm currently looking at the RC-F and LC 500. Thank you.

Great video. Thanks!

Good update keep it up the good work 👍👍

the GMC grille😂

Man Scott, what a POS! That is horrible trying to deceive the public. Seems like there should be some recourse, but that’s dreaming I’m sure. Thank God, you are there. There service you provide to those that will listen is amazing. Thank you.😊

Thanks. I like. Good work splainin' the doctor business. Good stuph..

Thanks, Scott.

I do want a rc-f but I would touch that one unless it was less than 10k

Nice work Scott

Definitely need to know what to look for with these auction vehicles.

Awesome video Scott. Think I'll stick with my 2012 Taurus for a few more yrs. Who needs headaches like that. It's kool that you were able to get away for a bit. I'm sure it was for more than to do a video. I'm just wondering what you bought. I'm guessing it's probably a Pontiac GrandAm or One of those Mustang things 😂. 🚗🚗🚗

Crazy amount of time the scammer spent trying to doctor it up

This isn't the first car you showed that should have had the seat air bags deployed but, in the pictures, the seat didn't look like it was ripped. Seeing this one, with the seat glued together explains how they pulled off that trick. I didn't think they would have replaced the seat upholstery so that conundrum did puzzle me. Glad that you were able to show exactly how they were "repaired"!

I been seeing this a close to me for a few weeks lmao glad to see a video on it

love the road trip!

More videos' Awesome can`t wait

Another great video

Sad people do this. Thanks for these videos.

Good investigating Scott you'd never see the fine details in the pictures like you see them there in person.

Thanks, this had some eye-opening insights into salvage attempts by craptacular auto seller.

loving the dry wall screws - must admit, the corner of my bumper is not well, i will go out and purchase some dry wall screws right now, i guess the longest ones be best then i might be able to reach the back of my headlight and stop that from moving when i dip my lights - what you mean it supposed to do that, cor DOW ! great vid Scott

You do a remarkable job educating the public about vehicle scammers. I'll probably nominate you for a RU-vidy Award. If there was such a thing. 👍👍👍

Looking at the photos after it was doctored, I was expecting it to look worse in the before photos. Your inspection pretty much showed up what we were all expecting.

Nice,keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎

yike for what used to be a car. nice channel here, informative.

Us locals would have loved a beer with you while you were here!

Such a great car! Especially with that good ol V8 and reliability!

Nice twist on the video. As I was watching I was thinking that you need a team of volunteers all over the country to visit the cars in person to confirm or refute what you see , but then you did it yourself! Any update on when / if you are getting back to builds? Maybe you need a new series: “driveway builds.” In the interim.

Thanks for the education Scott, hope they lose their a$$ on it !

Thanks Scott, the Goonzquad should have watched these, maybe they would have gotten Jammed up on their new build!

This is amazing! How do they get away with this...

Awesome!

Can you go back and search some old scam cars to see if anyone actually fixed them? I'm curious if any victims bit the bullet and fixed them or took a beating auctioning them to some one else who took it on after buying it better.

I've seen trade ins with the same seat repair. Except they put foam in to fill it up. Once I saw the nicer seats and the deployed bags I knew.

I think i happened to see this vehicle listed on OVE a few weeks ago. I was looking at RCFs and happened to see a white one listed with a buy it now of $25000 and even though i dont mess with branded title cars i had to look, saw the missing headlights so i google searched the vin and saw thay photo without the fender, yikes!

Never buy any car in Miami

So many dry wall screws, this must be an HGTV car!

Your T-Shirt reminds me... what is Mr. Spotty's origin story? I've been a subscriber long enough to know about the trailer scream, but not sure if there is some interesting backstory related to Mr. Spotty. Also - I'd love to buy a Mr. Spotty coffee mug :-)

"Big engine" That's funny!

Ive noticed it’s bad in Houston Florida and New Jersey! I’m all the way in Kansas so I don’t have these issues If I can’t put my hands on it I don’t buy it! I miss the days growing up when it was a silent and in person bidding now it’s just a crap shoot even when you put hands on it your bidding against the cartel or other money launders I wish that would get some attention

That'll be a parts car. Good video.

I now see where all the ex car audio installer hacks that use the crap out of drywall screws went to work lol

You came to my neck of the woods. Open up a shop down here we need great repair shops..

ours was totaled a month ago. that oil spot is from the engine oil cooler having a hole poked in it. its all RCF on everything.

They will be lucky if they get their original investment. Far too much damage to make it right unless you dig real deep into the wallet. Airbags & seatbelt cost is scary.

What methods are you using to get these types of in depth pictures for these vehicles both before and after ?? Thanks

That wall is STILL 🔥

It’s really very hard to wreck an RCF, being young and dumb will prove any comment wrong in that sense. This thing is lucky it doesn’t have the carbon roof like mine, that alone is a 14k part to replace. Get it cheap, pull the engine and part out what ever is good, that puddle is probably from the oil cooler that is just above. Great job calling out scammers.

Love me some vehcor

How is anyone legally selling cars without the airbags??

Some folks just work so hard at doing nothing. SMH

Legend

@vehcor any update with the g8?

field trip!

It's sad that IAAI and Copart won't do more to protect their buyers!

looks a LE pursuit and pit !

I can see from a builder standpoint that that is not a good buy those cars started out at $65,000 new you got $20,000 in airbags and no telling how much in body and framework and then with me and they had frame damage it's always going to have that stigma to it as being an accident vehicle

Hey Scott,you ought to wear safety orange more often!Too bad the car was crap,woulda made a great vid series.Sad the seller's spent more time doctoring it when they could have used that time fixing it.Oh well.

Did you notice the rub marks in the RR fender well where the tire came in and hit the front of it?

The auctions should be responsible for fraud in these cases.

They should invest in some white out for those drywall screws lol

RC F is a nice car, how could they destroy it like that, entire front and back is gone. I wonder who will buy such a rebuilt car. The frame is warped, I seriously doubt rebuilding such a car is never gonna restore it. RIP.

Hey Scott. Any movement on the Mustang that we are not supposed to talk about?

funny enough to me when I saw this car it reminded me of that girl's rc that wrecked by a drunk driver with no insurance (also we need more stories like that)

I want to know did you buy that ford in back ground

Daym those guns

Poor RC F

Do Not buy from Auction unless you know what you are doing!

It's been a while since you've talked about the shop rebuilding or the search for a new to you building. You also threw around the idea of road tripping to another shop to work on a car. Was that to much trouble?

Well if you are hanging some drywall, those screws will come in handy!

I would love something like this in Ghana to do a body swap with a mid seventies Celica

Hello I'm subscribed to your channel like 2 weeks ago and I think you are awesome rebuilding cars.. I will buy a car from you with my eyes closed😊 I'm from Orlando Florida
