VERY NICE, that van you got should be a winner. Have you ever bought and fixed a car and just said nah I'm going to keep it? i went on a Street Rat Garage binge last week and watched about 20 videos from your first one. Those Vics with 150k miles should sell for at least 5 to 7k? At least that what Mercury's and Town cars are selling for. Can't wait for your next video.
I bet the 6.0 powerstroke needs a new low pressure oil pump. The clearance is to big now and effects the oil from getting to the high pressure oil pump from operating the fuel injectors faster to start as normal.
I checked the website out and the vehicles in my city are trashed before they decided to get rid of them. Also bidding gets outrageous when auctions gets to the last day. I wish 1 was closer than 4 hrs to your area. I'm looking for a 2 wd Tahoe to customize
@streetratgarage Love your videos thank you for taking the time and sharing what you know with the common people .... please advice from Indy Govddeals Tahoe 2013 with 264k miles SPORT UTILITY 4-DR, 2WD Description as follow Engine light and TPMS light is on. Leak in rear main seal and oil cooler lines. Paint missing from front bumper, rust on rear hatch door. Rust spot on driver side rear wheel well, and front hood edge. would you recomend this car for a women as a daily commuter price 3k.?
that would depend on the woman. But I will answer your question this way. The Tahoe is a very good SUV in my opinion. I really like the LS engine they have. They are comfortable to drive long distance and the large cargo area in the rear. If you can drive a pick up truck, you can drive one of these SUVs without any problem. The only drawback to these police versions are the fact that they are 2 wheel drive and not all-wheel-drive vehicles. So if you have difficulties driving a rear wheel drive vehicle in the snow, then you might want to look for an all wheel drive. I watched this vehicle go through the online auction. The only reason I did not bid on this particular One, was the fact that at the last hour a note was posted that the vehicle would start with a jump, but needed work.
You need to plug a HP tuners device into the obd2 port then go into the computer and flip the virtual switch. There are people on RUclips, that explain how the procedure is done.
Yes, anyone can bid. I do not believe this particular website requires credit card information but I’m not 100% for sure. Most that I use do require credit card information.
Hello,i just won an auction by mistake,coz I supposed to bid for $2,020 thats my margin for that car,and i put $20,020 and thats auto bid, now I won that auction for $3,050 and I can’t afford to pay as of now, what happen to me if I can’t pay, is the seller going to sue me for placing a bid and not paying it?
This is my first time to bid in govdeals coz just saw your video, I really need car for my daily commute to work, and I was excited to place a bid, and thats what happened I put a bid amount over my price margin, now I am totally scared what would happen
I'm a college student that's interesting in making a quick buck on buying these auction cars, what's the biggest advice you could give for me? Anything that i should be aware of before buying?
There is a lot you need to know. You need to have some mechanical knowledge or take a mechanic with you. You need to know what the car will sell for in your area. This can be done by checking Facebook marketplace and searching for cars in the same condition with the same mileage. Do you have to also understand that this is a gamble. You cannot check the cars out 100%. At most of these auctions you are not allowed to drive the car to check the transmission to see if it shifts. The car does not run long so you don’t know if it’s going to overheat or not. I will be coming out with a video in a few weeks discussing this topic. So stay tuned.
I want Corolla or Honda Accord with good body condition and decent shape not good for "Target Practice only". I am in MD and can not travel, Can you get me one.
The 550 could be from the roadworks department. Or a municipality plumber/service tech. Those econolines go for big money in Canada. I'd be shipping them north for sure. A beat to crap one with half a million miles still goes for like $12k USD. And the crown vic was totally worth the 3k. Those things are quite desirable these days in that condition
Just got plugged in to your channel. Great channel. Thanks
Thanks, enjoy
To all the youngsters out there.NEVER buy a vehicle you haven't seen up close and personal.EVER.

I have held on to a few longer than I should have so I could enjoy them.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing Chuck. I’m going to have to go down there and check these out soon! ❤️😎
You should!

Just keep your eyes open. One will pop up. Sometime you have to drive a bit for a good deal. Make a family trip out of it.
Awesome show.
Glad you enjoyed it
Watch for bad trans on those Chevy express. Unless your buying just for the motor of course.
what are the bad years?
any good years on the chevy express?
I don't know if anyone pointed it out to you but your audio is all over the place. Sometimes loud. Sometimes low.

@@streetratgarage thanks for answering my question keep posting awesome videos.. God bless!
You're lucky to have so much acreage to put all kinds of cars, I'm jealous
Maybe think about getting a lavalier to improve your audio. I got mine cheap on Amazon. Thanks for the video.
1st money is always best money at auctions
Good video man i need one of those Is dodge ram for about $2500
They keep popping up. You just have to keep an eye out.
That’s a reasonable fee
Those crown vics are going threw the roof
Hi Chuck. How did you flip the switch on the computer to deactivate the AFM on the 5.3 motor?
You need to plug a HP tuners device into the obd2 port then go into the computer and flip the virtual switch.
There are people on RUclips, that explain how the procedure is done.
@@streetratgarage Okay thank you so much.
Rat street garage ❤

Anyone can make a bid? Do you have to put your credit card information in before you bid?
Yes, anyone can bid. I do not believe this particular website requires credit card information but I’m not 100% for sure.

Unlikely they would sue you. But you need to call and tell them what happened as soon as you can
This is my first time to bid in govdeals coz just saw your video, I really need car for my daily commute to work, and I was excited to place a bid, and thats what happened I put a bid amount over my price margin, now I am totally scared what would happen
@@streetratgaragethank you, can’t wait to watch more car videos in your channel
New tires, fix the driveshaft, do some oddball work and you’ve got yourself a nice $3000 maybe $3500 bill.

@@streetratgarage thank you I appreciate it
How much time they give you to move it out of their lot?
Each place is different but the state of Indiana site is 5 days
The van you were looking at in person is not the same one you were bidding on. Two different lengths
I guess they must have already picked it up.

Yall got better cars in those big cities, in small cities of NC can't find anything good
