Update: The Sierra was relisted 2/16 and the Lexus sold 2/16.
No, No, No Don't Stop, maybe do a Warning videos like this every Two, or Three months?
Anyway, your doing a Duty of Honor and Courage Stance Everyone is Proud of!
I was thinking that Sierra was way to much of a steal for 4k. For a farm truck it would be decent
I can’t believe you only have 200k subs, that’s a shame, you’re well worth 750k minimum. I never get videos from you anymore, damn yt.
@@rogerbrandt6678 say that twice and bold and underline it my man.
This guy channel is a freaking gold mine. No b.s just cars and repair by one guy and the occasional paint gremlin.
@@ratboyiscool YOU SHOULD HAVE OVER A MILLION SUBS,,, SORRY DONT KNOW HOW TO UNDERLINE.
The best way to protect yourself is to see if you can get a Scott built vehicle. You just have to be fast enough to win. I’d buy any vehicle site unseen that Scott’s repaired. Have a great weekend everybody!
or, "commission" him. I don't know if he does that.
I find these series very interesting and informative. You should keep doing them
Two more on the way!
Thanks for the great week of auction cars, Scott! I do find these interesting. I also enjoy all of your rebuilds - even the Mustang so many people don’t like.
Great, well crafted set of videos. Very informative. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
A great community service! Thank you.
Really enjoyed this education series , looking forward to some more as well as your builds ,
More to come!
C'mon Scott,it's not Jaguar or Jagwire.It's JAAAAAAG.
👍🏻
Came to the realization that I am obsessed with my job because all I (binge) watch are these videos, autobody painting videos, and collision repair videos. Collision repair is so interesting to me, it’s like being a detective for cars lol
It's sad the auctions don't ban these sellers. And bidding on your own car? Most sites call this shill bidding and they ban those sellers.
Thank you Scott for putting all this work into trying to educate the people that do not know much about how these scam sellers work. Luckily for me I have about 20 years into the auto body world and know what to look for. Even though I am 54 years old I still learn lot from your videos. It just goes to show old dogs CAN and do LEARN new tricks. But I still really appreciate all the work you have done.
I wonder if the GMC is a Florida flood survivor... barely. Hmm. Or some other damage that's not readily visible.
Thanks again.
I’m guessing engine or transmission problem.
Thanks, Scott, for these videos! They're very cool! I might consider that Sierra, since I'm not particularly picky about body dings, but I'm betting that's been bouncing around for some other significant issue, rather than just small dents and a broken windshield. Wonder if it's a flood car & comes with all the associated electrical gremlins? -R
Good job Scott
IF someone corrects you on how to say Jaguar the best reply is "ok it's Jaguar for the Jag >that you< are." Usually gets them to shut up most of the time... and when it doesn't, they usually go into total meltdown. Both results are satisfying.
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed scam week. I am a licensed rebuilder and learned early on (the hard way) about the pitfalls in purchasing IAAI or Copart vehicles with unknown sellers. Thankfully, I did not deal with vehicles in the price ranges that you are in so my losses were relatively easy to chalk up to "a lesson learned". As a result, I don't buy anything that doesn't have a seller listed UNLESS it's at a true bargain basement price.
I usually try to vet each vehicle I'm interested in well in advance including looking at it's auction history and thoroughly examining the current auction pictures for "clues". I hope that folks watching this weeks videos have learned enough to recognize some of the warning signs of scammers who prey on the uninformed.
These are great! I would absolutely take a Midweek madness upload showing bids from the car shown the prior Wednesday and a new car going up this week. I would watch the crap out of that.
That Sierra probably has a blown transmision...the infamous 8 speed...lol.
I will be waiting for more.
Already have some lined up!
*Thank you* for these educational videos Scott and I wish you all the best trying to acquire the _Cecil Desist_ letter. I look forward to it being proudly displayed and cooked on the grill. 👍
Great series keep em coming 👍
5:27 we have an auction near me North Toronto Auction. That's what they do, circle and photograph every little ding dent or smudge. Top notch ppl.
The AFM is the reason why the Sierra is not selling. It's a miracle that it even made it to 180k.
That "Jagwire" thing had me cracked up. Wonder what they'd think of "junk" which is what I consider a Jagwire?
Legally speaking, it's likely that you aren't doing anything illegal by showing these scams, so you're probably unlikely to get a cease and desist letter. But if you do, it won't stop you anyway. The more publicity these scammers get, the better. They might end up giving up trying to scam people.
I know I am covered, that is why I have nothing said their name directly. If I did get a letter it would only be a scare tactic which is why I would just mock them.
These are at a salvage auction directed towards automotive professionals NOT the general public. Some states prohibit non licensed people from buying these cars.
@@bobroberts2371Professionals and 'Professionals'......
@@bobroberts2371 That is why it is probably not illegal to sell your trash for cash there. 😉
@vehcor I hope you have a great weekend!
You too!
Great series Scott. Thanks for the inside peek and education. I'm now a better buyer.
Glad to help
Scam week is the best development of your channel!
Very important to know this information, thank you for your time !
Every time I’m in Florida and drive on the Interstate, these trucks pass me with a loaded trailer on back doing 90mph or so 180K of this probably do wonders for the powertrain
This was fun. Hope to see auction week again. 👍👍👍
Keep scam-week going. Thanks for doing this.
I’m wondering if your favorite sellers are some of the ones I worked for. The car lots I worked for in MD would buy these cars all over the place then bring them back and we had a cheap mechanic piece them back together. Then if they were good enough, they would be buy here, pay here cars or back through the auction.. learned a lot working for them.
This was a great theme week well done
I am liking this 'doctored-up' series of videos. Seeing how much these cars were re-sold for is an added bonus
This is great! Thank you! This confirms that I never want to buy without seeing it in person.
I loved this series, very informative and educational on what to look for at an auction. Thanks.
This has been a good week. Hopefully you have a great weekend & the pizza girl actually brings you a pizza. After all you did work hard on this. Just don't let the supervisor know, because he'd want his cut.
That RDX, someone is going to get a rude awakening.
I have a 2015 Denali Duramax. I have 178,000 miles on it. I know that it has issues with the CP4 pump with lack of lubricity. So since I purchased it I've been adding Stanadyne Lubricity improver to every tank of fuel.
Now I know you know better, but the 2015 5.3 is not an LS, but an LT!. I am aware of the Lifter issues with the AFM. I have a 2014 L83 that is in my 37 Chev PU. I had the Cylinder deactivation removed from the program so I am hoping that it will not fail me.
GREAT VIDEO MAN, THANKS FOR INFORMING US ABOUT THOSE GUYS AT THOSE AUCTION PLACES, I WILL HAVE MY EYES WIDE OPEN FROM NOW ON, LOL.
Nice run of posts Scott really enjoyed showing us what to watch out for even though it might have been fixed
I know all about the "high mileage LS" engines you mention - the AFM/DoD ones more specifically. But, I still daily drive my 2012 Yukon SLT with 212k miles. I'm one of the fortunate few I guess, no lifter knock/tap, no oil burn/usage whatsoever. Has had AFM disabler for several years and oil changed religiously (I also use Motor Flush just before each change).
Thank you for opening eyes, if it's to good to be true , think about it. It probably is !
I LOVE this series! Thanks, Scott!!
That was a good miniseries and well worth showing. Just goes to show what goes on in the dark and dirty back streets and how, with a little research, what you are getting into. Think you are going to get hit with a "cease and desist" order quite soon though.
I love these videos!
Thank you
Helps with purchasing. Although makes me even more apprehensive.
I won a 97 bmw z3 5 times at Copart at $450.00 they countered $2,200 finally letting it go at $450.00 listed as enhanced but I threw a battery in it fixed power steering hose with a clamp filled it with fluid car runs and drives great.thanks John from Arizona
I'd gamble 5k on the Sierra for myself. Out of Florida no rust. Do a dod delete and use my parents out of state address with lax emissions.
Fix the dents here and there as I drive it.
Excellent video, keep it up
Gotta say, subscribed and thoroughly enjoy your videos! Please keep up the great work and humor! Would you please share where do you get prior auction history for these doctored up vehicles? Thanks in advance! Also that trick with RDX's maf sensor was great! It was the first thing I thought of when the car was starting up and dying.
We just say Jag in the UK, absolutely entertaining young man, just shows how scammers take the piss but even more worrying is the auction companies do nothing to stop it. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just noticed your sound got better over the year
Hi Scott, love the scam week series! It might be informative for those not familiar with IAA & Copart how much their obscene fees add to the final price. You should mention the "Out the Door" price as well as the auction winning price.
Once again Thanks for #5.
I would buy this Sierra and just drive it like it is. Its fine for a work truck.
My only two LS motor trucks ('02 5.3 and '07 6.0) have over 300k each and both still road trip worthy.
Thank you for your info and educating people.
The best channel on this crappy platform 👏
great segment scot
I am a sniper at auctions too. If you bid early, you're just bidding against yourself if there is someone else in the race.
In Illinois a " Cease and desist " letter is not enforceable against anyone who does not have a demonstrable standing in the matter. Essentially you are not acting in your own interest. In my opinion you are " making public service announcements. You have the standing to do that because you would qualify in any court as an " expert" on the matters to which you are speaking. BTW, keep up the great work!
I know they can’t do anything but it would not surprise me if they try to intimidate me with a C&D. That’s why it would be hilarious to mock them!
My first "Scam Week". Thanks, Scott.
They kept the snowflake wheels on the Sierra too
Scam Week takes weekends off? Scammers don't! 🤣
Great week
Thank you teacher.
The problem is there are not enough builders like Scott.
good week thanks looking forward to another theme week
A cease and desist letter would make for one heck of a display piece.
Very interesting, thank you for your efforts.
My pleasure!
Was the scrappers using an old vga camera to take the crappy photos in the ads. Excellent series Scott hopefully it's stopped someone over paying or even steer clear of these lipsticked up pigs.
Thank for following these sales so we could satisfy our nagging curiousity. I was wondering what these cars actually went for at auction. Hopefully the person who bought that RDX already had another decent RDX parts car in their "emporium", or they're really gonna lose their ass on the cost to repair it.
Naa its *jag u are*
We get quite a bit of this "doctoring" here in Europe too, cars are bought in Germany, Holland, France and Denmark, fixed up over the border in Poland where labour is cheap and then you find them back on the internet with an undefined location.
have heard that some vehicles are purchased to be taxis in other countries.
Thanks for this series. It was very interesting and educational!
Be interesting to see if any of these cars end up on Arthur Tussiks channel.
By the way Scott you Americans do pronounce’Jaguar’ correctly, it’s us Brits that got it wrong!
Enjoyed this series, but most of all, your humor!
Great content Scott. As someone who has a high mileage LS, it’s scary every time i start it. Just waiting for that death tick 😅
Love this series…..
Even Mr. Spotty wouldn't bid on these.
Great series! Thanks for the videos!
Brilliant
RUclips really loaded your video with commercials 😮. Great video
The GMC has a Virginia Inspection sticker issued Sept. 2023 but is titled in Florida? Odd.
The Acura is heading to Africa where labor might be $1 an hour, so if they overpay on the front end, they make it up on the back.
Thanks for the video Scott.
Awesome videos Scott. I always wondered about auction cars. And now I have
a better understanding just how it works. And just how easy it is to get SCREWED.
How does that saying go?...Not all cars at the auction are junk but all junk cars are
at the auction. Thanks Sooo Much
Why is there a Pennsylvania inspection sticker in front windshield at the 2-14-2024 but no sticker in the 4-21-2023 picture?
It could have been just me and a general dislike for much GM product. But the rear wheels looked out of center for the opening. Like the driver side was further back than the passenger which was again just as much forward.
Engine and suspension issues seem to be the most glaring at me, though I'm not letting go of that body damage.
You're awesome 👌 😊👍💯🇺🇸
Ton of shady wholesellers in Laurel, Md. Since that's my town. Im not speaking tongue-in-cheek.
The truck doesn`t seem too bad to me. It`s a truck so I wouldn`t fix any of the minor body damage. Maybe plastic weld the grill. High mileage LS doesn`t scare me. I would replace the cam and lifters immediately. As long as the price is right!
JAGWIRE! 🤣👍 JAGWIRE!!
Jagwaaaaar jag or jag-you-err
Love these videos💪🏻🔥
Awesome video
Love these Video's, Keep it up !
The GMC is just a cheap work truck or someone's first truck. It's condition is perfectly suitable for what it is.
I wonder if the 5.3 LT even runs ? With trucks being popular and expensive I can’t believe it’s not selling
