How much you trying to get for the Nissan skyline.. my older brother has wanted 1 forever.. we live in vermont... he would love it when i show him it..
Hey Craig there's a RUclipsr / movie star named
( Emelia Hartford ) she just bought a skyline from Japan and I know she was looking to buy another one maybe you should reach out, you never know.. and if she does buy it, just send me one of your "caps" 👍😁
Honorable mention for that jacket bro 😮💨💪🏾
100% someone was messing around in that skyline, donuts, burnouts, check the rear fenders for bits of rubber.
Facts
💯
Did you notice how unbalanced that drive shaft was ? Wear and tear caused that axle to pop out and it will happen again those snap rings need to be replaced at least
The car was “Perfect”. So were Donald’s first three wives.
@@nrakma TDS is real
Transporter tied it down by the cv and moved the cv out of place most likely.
You’d hear it
Not on a enclosed trailer
Seriously dude obviously you know nothing about transporting cars They all have places to hook on to the frame or you nobody with
Transporter said he pulled it in, but couldn’t pull it out. Maybe a huge pot hole or something. Or a strap tied to CV
Snap rings wear out
Doubt very much it was someone messing around. We have this happen on our race cars (Porsche). The lower you have your car the more it pulls the axles out, when transporting the car bouncing up and down will pull out the half shaft. To keep this from happening we install a 10mm spacer between half shaft and axle.
I agree. This is the more likely scenario.
Interesting
That was 1000% the transporter and not anybody at the auction.
That car is a keeper!!! Your brother painted it super good and it’s a dream car to most of us gearheads
I used to be in the enclosed Transport business… I have to be honest there’s a lot of people to drive cool cars if they have them in their truck. I did not… we did all supercar stuff. But I’ve heard of many drivers that took out cool cars for the night their wife and all sorts of BS like that.
I just commented that I’d bet it’s them. They’d have said they had to push it on the truck. It was the driver.
@@neilgunns8391the car is a keeper I don’t know what he’s thinking
@neilgunns8391 that snap ring is worned out is an older car and things wear out if that drive shaft popped out for doing a donut maintenance is lacking
That’s why I take videos of mileage before I send the car
Nothing it. Bumped out. In transport . Dude is such an annoyance
Hi Craig, I did Mecum one time, never again. It cost me money. I will sell them myself. When I went most the people selling at no reserve got screwed. It’s fun when you’re buying not selling!!
I buy and sell at Mecum auctions, have been doing so for years. I almost never sell with no reserve unless my client specifically wants to. You get to choose with or without a reserve. If you choose no reserve and don’t get as much as you want, you made the choice and it’s your mistake, you didn’t get “screwed”.
Humble guy goes home, licks his wounds and lives to fight another day…you’re one of the good guys
I agree with those that say the transporter tied it down by the axles and put o much pressure on the right side popping the inner driver...
Your great therapy, when I think I had a sucky day, I watch your video and suddenly I feel much better! Thanks Craig😅
I don't know, all the whining and self-deprecation can easily make your sucky day worse.
That’s because Craig actually sucks at selling cars 😂😂😂😂
the writings on the switches and levers are in English because the parts are interchangeable with other models. In Brazil its all in English too.
What I love is, your passion for cars remains so strong. I’ve seen many car guys get into the car biz and after a while start to lose the love for them.
Have to love hidden cameras and GPS tracker.
… Ten bucks says someone was trying to take off in 5’th instead of 1’st gear. I’ve seen clutches basically disappear, people thinking the shift pattern is backwards lol
Thanks for repeating yourself so much. I won’t forget about that Nissan it’s in my head forever.😂😂😂
That’s Craig.. he constantly says things over and over..
I must admit. It’s making me unsubscribe.
@@Wifflestein who cares
And the color!!!
@zk4au yup makes a 2 minute video into a 40 minute video. He is a parrot.... do not know how he can not see this in his edits but it apparently still eludes him. Because it's almost every video.
One comment below would make sense. If shipper drove car into hauler and then had to push it out then when car was tied down the tie down strap may have been put on axles and if strap was at a angle from center of rear axle to outside edge of car the strap itself could have pulled shaft away from differential.
Also wanted to make the point, Mecum does an exceptional job of handling and caring for vehicles in their custody. I’ve had everything from antiques to supercars, and their team does a fantastic job of taking care of the vehicles.
Hey Dude, the Mercedes collapse suspension is a few thousand dollars problem, can’t wait for the video on that, plus fixing the issue of the roof is $ but not as much as the suspension
Thank you Craig
I’m so happy you got back ok
I learned so much from this video about auctions
Great quality
My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
Bravo 👏🏽
I have been in the automotive industry for 50 years. I buy and sell at Mecum frequently, I always go to Kissimmee, Indianapolis, and Harrisburg, at least. I’ve been going for several years. You are very astute to recognize that you approached the collector car auction all wrong. One of their auctions has generic cars like you brought, but that’s not really what their forte is. Mike with the mustang convertible, whoever told you that Rich guys hang around looking to buy toys for their wife is incorrect. Rich guys are there for rich guy cars, not to buy some incidental cheap car.
As for the skyline. You know that Mecum didn’t hurt that car because you drove it away from there and it was fine. Probably the other didn’t do anything to it either. The problem most likely lies with a shipper. For years I did one car transporting with my own equipment with myself as the only operator. I did what they called dedicated service, meaning the vehicle went directly from the pick up point to the drop off point. When you use these commercial haulers, they frequently picked them up and dropped them at a holding lot to be combined with others. I just about guarantee that’s where your problem is, I’ve seen cases where cars are taken out for joyrides a lot.
Anyway, hard lesson learned. If you want to do Mecum auctions correctly, focus on specialty cars, consign early, make sure your units are there before the first day of the auction for Max exposure, and if possible, carry them there yourself. There’s money to be made, you just need a different approach. I’ll tell you this, at literally every auction I’ve gone to, there are cars that draw homer prices, far above sellers reserved, and yet at the same auction, there are steals to be had. Literally both types at the same auction. Everyone. If you want to make money doing this, you have to put in the hours Sitting in the auction room, watching car after, hour after hour.
Indianapolis is Mecum‘s second biggest auction of the year, behind Kissimmee. I always do well there. Last year I sold two and bought two. Might want to consider a trip out there. I’ll be there, if I see on your page that you’re going I’ll try to look for you. Would be nice to meet you in person.
Sounds like a good reason to go do a bunch of donuts to see if it pops back out...we want to see that video for sure!!!!!
23:10 If I can't by 50 cent. That's the song. By the way, I'm almost 99.9% sure that the vehicle was improperly handled during transport. They ran it at excessive speeds up the transport ramp and popped the axle in the process.
I was so tempted to buy your Skyline, especially when you said you came back to Fl to pick it up/ move it. I went to Mecum, paid the $300 to bid on the 20k mile silver R33 GTR and when I saw it up close I realized it had a full repaint and not a great one.. along with some other issues. Same with the blue LM version r33 that didn't sell. I saw your Skyline and it looks immaculate. I just think I would hate myself for not waiting for a real GTR.
Speaking of right hand drive, you mentioned you have a G35. I have one too. It's the Skyline 350GT in Japan and right hand drive. What's peculiar about my 2003 G35 Coupe is that everything is right hand centric on the center stack. The radio and HVAC controls are to the right of center instead of left of center. It's the same as the Skyline.
Did you have the mileage when you dropped the car off to ship it back? If I take my car somewhere to be worked on, I check-the mileage. I had my brand new ZO 6. at the Country. Chevrolet down here in Warrington. Virginia. And my PDR was shut off (Performance data recorder). and it was on when the car went in the shop But when the car left the shop to go back to me, it was off. Plus it had 14 miles on it. And all it was coming for was a strip screw in my. spoiler You can't trust people. No. Telling what they did. The Car had 175 miles on it.👍👍
I can tell you what they did they had fun with it😂😂
Air tag. Track them next time.
Hi Im Craig from Crying Wheels
Thanks for watching!
Braaaaahaha
Lol
To damn funny!!!
It's amazing, isn't it? He's a used car dealer complaining about trust issues? Don't do business with this snake. Even if he makes money, he's bitching.
Missed the vlog style videos. Great to try something new but I enjoy this much better
"It takes a lot of money to own a new Mercedes. But it takes ALL of your money to own a used Mercedes." Paraphrased.
Stay gold.
As I commented in one of your other videos ,these skylines were made for Australia as well we have plenty here and they are worth a fortune in this condition and as you would know we drive right hand drive cars . It's such a great car..
My question would be what is the odometer difference from when it left your hands until it returned? Remember that clip from Farris Bueller
It's a really cool ride Craig! This is why we can't have "nice things" shipped/auctioned. Hope the shipper takes the blame....
It’s a keeper and his brother painted it really nice
On the 2003 Sl500, was the grill replaced with the newer grill due to an accident?
Were you able to fix the paint from the duck tape?
I enjoy all you’re videos.
Transporter took it for a spin while on his 10Hr break 😂😂😂
Craig, I managed a dealership in the 80s and early 90s. I found that when I shipped cars to auctions that I didn't frequent my car wouldn't bring the money they would when I had them at auctions I used weekly.
I think you've worked really hard to build a good reputation for yourself and your dealership in your area but that's the key. In your area.
this sl is a wreck, destoyed clear coat, fucked up air suspension, top not working, damn
They put his ass together at the auction on that 1
He has 2 months tho 😂
He will give it the used car salesman hack special. Spray paint it and send it down the line to the next sucker to deal with the problems
@@egarc006 And you will watch all of it and enjoy it and learn something 🧁
It amazes me how Rattlecan Craig continues to try to sell the Blue, Green, purple turd. Maybe it was a buyer you ripped off! 🤔 Keep spray painting carpets, and dashboards Rattlecan. Glad somebody else didn't end up with this.
Karma for all those lemons you brought to the auction 😂
Because the guy said that he drove it onto the trailer and then pushed it off the trailer tells me that most likely what happened is he popped the clutch when he went up the ramp to get into the trailer and pop the axle out when he popped the clutch. In other words he's being a smartass with a car
That told me everything. How’d he really get it on?
After reading comments, I feel very lucky.
I only shipped a vehicle once. It was an open tractor trailer driven by the owner.
He wrote the mileage on the paperwork when he picked it up and took a bunch of pictures of the vehicle before he loaded it.
It arrived exactly as it left and only had like 1/2 mile more on it, if that.
Power slide popped the shaft.
The Skyline is just too weird a car for an auction. Who wants this car on their lot? You should try Hemmings. Less problems, less cost and a very large audience of car enthusiasts.
I love how the mechanic in your shop literally does exactly what your brother explained to do and then after he does, it tries to re-explain it like he came up with the idea. lol
I think shipping strapped it by wheels or axle and took turn to fast and car shift to left a little and popped it out
I always leave my dash cam on when any of my vehicles are in the custody of someone other then my self.
Forward and incab.
Definitely doing some donuts somewhere. They were spinning it in a right hand circle for that damage and redlining it based on the misfires you mentioned in the last minute of the video.
Keep the Nissan, your brother put his work and love into it, that will never have monetary value, and when you are old you can look at it and always see your brother.
The First Republic umbrella is quite apt, given the situation.
I had a 69 SS 396 Chevelle that got a dent in a parking lot. The body shop kept it for over a week for a two day job. I found out that they drove the crap out of it before getting back to me. Your right can't trust people.
100% transporter damage not from the auction
I agree. Has to be. They’d have said they needed to push it on the truck.
Running any business absolutely blows. Im happy you shed light on all the b.s. And you and i need to make money. All the shi you have to go thru just to be at a loss or break even ain’t it
The transporter didn't know how to drive manual and dumped the clutch while loading. That's my guess and its why whenever I take my S4 into a shop, I make sure they know its a manual.
Someone pointed out that when people were moving it on right hand Drive they probably thought first gear is worth fifth and burnt the clutch
They made up that stupid kilometers excuse after the buyer did their celebratory donut, and then when they heard a pop they said I didn’t sign yet and the kilometers excuse was born.
Hey Craig, off topic question, but I just opened up my own used car dealership. About to start going to the Manheim auction. Doing some research and was wondering if you buy structurally damaged cars? Also the MMR for cars that are >2.0 and less, is that how much it’s worth as of the sale or would the worth essentially go up after recon? Thanks
One cool thing about that SL500 is that sweet aftermarket front grill someone slapped on it. Looks much better than the original grill. 👍👍
That sucks because I have been in love with the skyline since I played Grand Turismo in the 90s
It’s a keeper
Also as far as song goes it’s 50 Cent Many Men. Took me me a second. I had to think “I be on them back streets n--s know I got heat…” and then it came to me. Love that album. And Guess Who’s Back which really still bangs to this day.
Tell us the Skyline story one more time. You know, the one where it's not driving, but it was driving, and now it's not... because someone messed with it.
You don't understand that he makes so much content that he has to include the same info numerous times because he's not sure which clips hes going to use while editing.
… but then you edit it
if the transport guy strapped the car down by the wheels in the trailer, and the car shifted during driving with a quick jolt avoiding something on the road.. popping out a shaft, could be an honest mistake.
MB 500 suspension problems? The 500 is a problem. A family member who is a knowledgeable mechanic replaced the suspension with shocks or struts.
Craig makes my life better but love these videos.
Alot of people lose money at Mecum. They spend a ton restoring or building a car, then when they're done staring at it in their garage, they sell it at Mecum for less than they have into it.
Why would Manhiem not run it? I bought my Celsior from Manhiem in PA. They seller ran about 20
RHD cars through no problem
Really Sorry that Happened to you.....😢
Someone dumped the clutch
50 cent song I believe that you mentioned at the end. Hit clutch the gear the gas and I'm gone. 2003 suburban swerving.
Whenever you drop a car off make a walk around video to prove no damage, also record miles/KM and then when you pick it up see how many more they added
Craig good video. Why pay $1300 for an enclosed transport vs. $450, $600 for open trailler. when you park the car outside?
You should hard wire inner watching dash cams when you ship rare cars like that love the content
I've heard of truck drivers taking cars out for the night and I've heard of them delivering them late because they were driving someones supercar around town and didnt want to give it back yet.
those auction fees are insane, leaves barely any room for profits after everything is said and done
Not always true, if you know what you’re doing, you can make serious money. I’ve been doing it for years.
@@bams50 well craig’s been doing it for years and this hasn’t worked out for him, might just be that he brought the wrong cars to this type of auction. 10% fee is insane though, and even $300 to run it once is pretty crazy, the transporting fees to get the cars there is also piling up.
@@ThatDIYguy862 It’s hard to argue that the fees are too high when the market says otherwise. It’s definitely not for every situation, but it’s pretty lucrative for some situations.
The guy you called getting help with the axle - I want what he’s smoking.
great stuff thanks
Craig, You are always either trying to fix things cheap or looking for an easy quick buck. It always ends up costing you money. You gotta change your mindset.
he's a used car salesman ... of course that's what he does
I had the same thoughts but if you think about his location and target market 10-30k cars makes more sense I guess. We all wish he should be selling 30-80k cars but no sure if its doable.
I’m digging the First Republic umbrella 👌
Had that happen on a BMW X5 after replacing the axle shaft with a rebuilt one. I fixed it by buying a BMW OEM part
How was the car tied down in the trailer? By frame? By wheels?
Craig, it could be worse. You could have had all your money invested in the bank's stock on your umbrella (First Republic = Bankrupt)
again I learned.. Thanks
Craig you know someone was doing their own version of Tokyo drift with your Skyline and blew the drive shaft out…that’s likely why there were foot marks on the dash as some was rolling around in the passenger seat. Sort out the MB and it will sell for decent money locally when the spring comes. I enjoy your channel and content…however your Mecum series has given me trust issues as I always thought Mecum cars were “better”…and they ran your untested stinkers…if I’m to be honest that changed my opinion of them and their cars…I certainly won’t be bidding on any vehicle that I have not inspected.
When you load the car into the trailer, if the car rolls backwards on the ramp while the driver dumps the clutch, it could make it pop out, since the splines isn't lining up, hard to explain for a Swede. xd
Also, you should put some air tags on your cars, that way you don't need to guess.
Air tags only work if people are around with Iphones. Within 30 feet otherwise it wont GPS track anything. It gets its GPS info from the iphone.
Your brother is one smart guy I love the color on that car 💪
You are a smart guy. Stick to what you know.
GPS your auction cars next time, just get a cheap throw-a-way GPS hooked to the battery.
Exact same thing happened to my Fiero GT. But mine was the center part of the clutch plate broke away from the clutch disk. So it was doing everything it was supoosed to be doing but because that sperated itself the center was spinning like it should & going through the gears the outside of it wasnt moving. New clutch kit you will be good. Mine came apart right after i pulled out of my driveway. Got to stop sign 50 feet away. Still in 1st gear I let the clutch out and motor just rev'd. You can push it in gear with motor off too. 🤣
I know guys who put expensive stuff in auctions. They airtag it ALL. The items are theirs. They need to be able to keep their eye on their property. Mecum is a losing proposition unless you have high dollar or high demand vehicles. Barrett Jackson will be the same deal. I really think you need to pool all your friends together and start an auction house in NH or MASS. And put a metallic wrap on that Benz. That's a total rich kids grad car if I ever saw one.
Auctions are a scam someone drove it at the auction and broke it not there's who cares
Stay away from auctions you never get your price they low ball you and if it sells never get what it's worth.
@wendwllhickey6426 there's one guy making over 15% at the auction. That's the auctioneer and it's usually 15% of a really big number. Barrett Jackson broke half a billion dollars in (conditional) sales last year at their biggest show.
No high school kid wants Grandmas old car. And def not some rich kid.
Hoochie rich fosho
Hey Craig, I know that you decided to keep the Skyline, but for reference a 97 Skyline sold on Bring-A-Trailer sold for $50,500 last week.
You do better videos on your own 😊😊😊😊❤❤, keep up the good work
Good thing someone didn’t buy it at Mecum
I've done the same thing doing big burnouts with lots of wheel hop.
I've seen auction employees race wrxs around the parking lot for hours on intake days.
That same manheim auction just shipped me an operable car with the coolant exchange pipes removed. Which means they blew the engine driving it around with no coolant at the auction.
I guess every car needs three motion or noise detector in car cams, front, back and interior, especially for consignments.
Series 1 has Oldsmobile Aurora V8 chassis is bespoke but uses a lot of GM parts bin
Check the rear axles, sometimes they pop out, you can just hit them w/ a rubber mallet and lock it back in.
I’d imagine there was some stress on those axles during transport. Tied down tight. The trailer going over bumps. The trailer turning left and right putting stress on an older axle. Could be as simple as that.
Totally drifting pulled the axle out!
Circlip on the end of the stub axle needs to be replaced. Fix everything on the Merc and sell it for $14,900 in the Spring.
So the axle might pop out from cornering too hard or maybe someone trying to spin the wheels. But all you have to do is pop it back in. That is very reassuring. Can I push hard on the brakes hard or that or something else pop out?
But when I went to a Mecum auction 20years ago, sketchy cars and sketchy people were aplenty.
can you read the pcm and see when it was driven and how many miles it had put on it, and the parameters of the way they drove it?
