I can really say. The quality of your videos and editing have been getting good at a fast pace. Even the intros and outros have been getting way smoother. Good work!
i had a similar problem on my way to work one very early cold morning. Luckily my dad was visiting...my 1986 chevy eurosport stopped driving. i ran 2 miles to a service station.... called my dad. he came and brought me to work... i was a broadcast tv engineer at the time and i had to sign the station on in the mornings. he went back and looked at engine.... he could see a transmission hose had wore in two... all fluid leaked out... he went to auto parts... bought a hose... and two c-clamps and 2 tubes to connect the hoses back together... put trans fluid back in and the tranny shifted fine from then on.
Let's hope it wasn't driven too far or long without trans fluid....you can burn up a trans by doing that. BTW: same thing happened to my ford escape....took it to a mech and they said the part that rusted through was part of an assembly and from ford, the assembly is $900. He through an apprentice on it and he did what you did: trimmed the metal line to the "good" area, used a flaring tool and some nuts and repaired it for $170.00 (it wasn't my employee so I had to pay shop rate + parts).
I have worked at the same garage since 1989 in ct are looking any mechanics.I have every video you have made. Love any video you make you seem honest and up front.
It's actually nuts.....it's the same with building supplies...so many plants shut down etc that the material costs are through the roof. 2 x 4's are 3x the price they were a year ago. Can you imagine quoting on a new home build and having your material costs triple?
Been waiting for this 1... Glad it was an easy fix. You'll make out on this 1. I was figuring low fluid or a bad shift solenoid.. That's actually pretty mint for that yr.. Can't find 1 this clean in Co. for less than 5 or 6.. Good find.. Keep up the great work guys
Had the same thing with my Chevy Corsica. It developed a transmission leak from the pan gasket and one day would barely move. Did the fluid and filter while I was at it, never worker better
I think a lot of the overhead costs go into wages, brick@mortar, deductions of driving to auctions, spending time at the auctions or research. I decided to overhaul my office last year and wrote the cost of that off against my company P&L legdger. It is just one way to drum up more business if the virtual meeting space looks decent and not some crazy zoom background. As a contractor in the IT environments I also write off my laptops and monitors and as such I only worked one month for free (the amount of taxes, after deductions) as my accountant does a superb job and I feel I never pay her enough.
Craig, check the battery cable ends on that Infiniti. I've seen where they were loose or corroded causing airbag light to flash. I use marine style terminals on those when they need to be replaced. Those do rot out on Nissans and it's a cheap fix. Clear the codes after and take her for a rip
Be honest it's hard to find a dealer like Craig up front with all the free information how to buy to how to deal with customers and dealer auction it's not cheap to buy cars from and all these fees they charge and some cars they came with lots of problems. What agreat guy to learn from. Thank you
6:05 "I can't tell you how many $1500 I got" ...Here in Chicagoland, $1500 is the go to offer for anything posted for $2k to $3k...In 2021, people would be lucky to find anything without major issues for that $1500.
Just saw a 2006 accord sedan v6 manual 6 -speed with 150k for $3000. The catch is, it has a trailer hitch on it. Sounds like it might have been abused.
Does it have an actual hitch ball or a circular mark around the hole matching the base of a hitch ball? If not, they most likely just had a bicycle rack mounted on the hitch. But it's hard to be sure. With a 6 speed manual, your bigger risk of abuse is by a boy racer, especially if there is anything not 100% stock with the air cleaner, the exhaust, the ride height, the wheel size, the tire size, the tire camber, the suspension, underbody lighting, the stereo, etc. Take a look at how many sedans you see with bicycle racks or little cargo carriers or little 4x8 trailers making 2 trips a year to Home Depot, than sedans pulling something heavy, much less abusing the car when they do. I've had receiver trailer hitches on the majority of my cars the last 30 years, and only towed with two, which were an S10 pickup and a Suburban. You could say I towed too much with the S10, but it never seemed to bother it, and it only had a 120hp 2.2 liter 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual. I have a receiver hitch on my oldest car now, from using a cargo carrier for a few months 5 years ago.
I never had a car with over one hundred thousand miles on it. I feel if it’s over one hundred thousand miles it’s done. I bought a Smokey and the bandit 400 4 speed with the eagle 🦅 on the hood.. I paid $600 it didn’t run the freezer out plug was gone and it had a bent push rod. I fixed it up and sold it for $4000.I was 18.I had an 1985 IROCZ at the time I bought myself.Looking back 30 years ago
“This goes one of two ways...you get what you want and I get what I want... OOR... you get what I want and I get what I want...” The choice is yours, choose wisely.
I might have my best flip right now! I got a S10 lifted with bigger tires. Had a massive water leak. Had to drill out and tap new studs for the thermostat. Now if the misfire goes away after I change the plugs (Its sat for 7 years. So maybe 10 years since plugs been changed) If I can get all that fixed and have it run right I will have about $300 into something I think I will be able to get 2500 for.
@@FlyingWheels When I worked at a Chevy store we got a trade in of a 1982 Buick Regal. This was in 1987. The front chrome bumper was pulled out a bit. After I rammed it into a wall two or three times, it was fixed and sold on the used car lot. You do what you have to do.
I love your videos and your views and subscribers continue to go up. Please up your production game with better camera and audio (microphone) and same with editing. As business grows, it is time to up your game!
I wish New York had same Dealer laws ... we’d have to fix everything... even if it’s a $500 car still would have to fix breaks and bearings... supposed to fix abs and air bag lights but can get away without fixing them
Great videos.. have been trying to find another good car channel... I'm from australia, I also like to flip cars. I have bought and sold around 50 cars and have only lost money on a couple of them. Hopefullu one day I'll get the opportunity to get a dealer licence and do it for a living. I have been noticing that over there in America no one that I noticed seems to mention oil leaks. Are they not considered in a safety inspection over there? Over here is Aus and serious enough oil leak will fail a safety certificate. Keep up the good videos and can't wait for the next.
If I was local, I'd give you $2500 for the G35x. I'm a former Nissan Master Tech with my own shop, so I can have that thing fully rebuilt in about 3 days with no labor cost and parts at jobber cost. I'd daily it myself. Those sell for about $5k out here in Vegas in "needs work" condition.
Man, the g35 is the best I'd say if you keep it stock. My dad Bought an 04 salvage in 06 never broke down. The only that broke it was getting totaled by a girl texting on her phone in a curved street (too specific). Can say it's a good car if you keep it stock my dad really loved passing cars that would go slow in front of him. The reason they are low balling your offer is because they are just teenagers trying to get into the car scene so they will just trash the car.
Yet, another great video. Absolutely righr. The Market on used vehicles is 30% to 50% more them it was last year. California Market is crazy right. I want to buy a used car in cash right now, however, I'm thinking to hold off until January or February, wait 8 or 9 month to get more vehicle for my money pulse give me more time to save up cash.
Light pick-ups and jeeps are the route to maximum profits. I'm not familiar with the market in the US northeast but out here in Alberta they bring the biggest return, especialy when you have an asset like German.
crazy how he sells this car for 3k out here in Los Angeles California people pay 7 thousand for 03-07 g35 because of the street take overs where everyone does donuts
Great content, interesting and fun and educational. Some tips and tricks can be applied even if you are not in the US, which i like. Took heed from the series so far and are about to turn a 300 investment into 950 :) I would recommend on working a little on the editing and audio to have smoother transitions and uniform sound quality to make it more watchable :) If need be, pay a kid who knows his way around this stuff to help you produce better quality (youtube loves that!)

Aw the VQ rumble, Im currently working on a 350z flip (6 speed of course). Wish me luck and God bless!
I love the vq sound!
I'm not watching another video until you tell us how to get perfect Craig hair.
Just blessed
@@FlyingWheels We all know Gemain does your hair. Is there anything that guy can't do?

@@EfficientRVer it had the ball. If it wasn't located 800 miles away, I would look at it.
Hope tossing the plate back there didn't sever the rear window defrost lines, same reason not to use a razor blade when removing rear glass tint...
True
The airbag light you can reset by turning on and off the car a few times my M37 had it

You do what you have to do.
Here in UK we have to pay 20% on our GROSS PROFIT of cars sales to VAT man too!

he just bought a new camera
I just did both!
In Tacoma a g35 like that one could go for like 5 g's no problem because of the awd
I wish New York had same

You’re really stepping up the video quality. Congrats and keep it up
There's a ton of these in my hometown in Mexico for $1,800 to $2,200 USD, but they cannot be legally imported into MX.
Love this series man, keep up the good work!

I have a 2004 G35 muffler on my 2004 Trailblazer.
@Tilc Rekcil Because it sound different.
@Tilc Rekcil Click g35 in my channel search and you will see the video.
Love the videos keep hustling brother!
Big inspiration to hopefully start my own business similar some day, love the videos man and the improvements!
Price that g35 at $4200 and it will be gone in a week.

How'd you get rid of the 4/20 smell? Got a car with cloth seats that I pressure washed outside of car and smell is still there!
these videos are amazing but i jus wish we had more to watch
Enjoy the videos man. Question, is there any permanent damage from having no fluid in the transmission? Seems like there would be some damage.
Craig's so cool he even wears shades on cloudy days hehehe
Cool is a lifestyle😎
@@FlyingWheels great come back! hahaha
Awesome man keep hustling!
Lol at the rapid dealer plate install
$3000? What a steal! These cars are going for $4000 to $5000 here in California lots of kids like these sedans.
The intro music on this vid has the best audio quality yet! Good improvement.
Good job thank you for sharing
I see the Saleen mustang is back in front of the line up

The reason they are low balling your offer is because they are just teenagers trying to get into the car scene so they will just trash the car.
Could you do a video about what software you use to run your car business, and what software you use for accounting? Thx.
You mentioned you got the 4/20 aroma out, so how do you recommend getting bad smells out of car?
Ozonator and a good cleaning
@@FlyingWheels How long do you run the ozonator?
Keep up with the good work Craig and German....👍

Loved the editing on this one
I haven’t been this early since my birth
That’s what she said
You must have gotten a new camera or lens with a big aperture? Your background is pretty blurry.
Greetings from Germany! Awesome work
Exact same thing as auto acution rebuild's nissan altima.
The April 20th Aroma 😂 - Awesome video and good work from the editor! Love the transitions and quality!
I'd love to get one of these G35s for 2000-2500$.
Not only it would be a cool lead sled but it looks like a sweet car to daily.
They're great cars.
If you take care of the transmission, they could be great cars.
Really enjoy this series
seems like the best cars to flip are wranglers, toyotas, and hondas
Love that green jacket at the end! Info please 🙃
I can't wait to see the final car on the channel smashing it towards the goal 🙌
3:19 those price make me cry... im paying around 3.99-4.20 a gallon
Edit: I live in california... and drive a 5.0
@BradgeVlogs just 400 miles… try 240
@BradgeVlogs I’m saying I pay $65-$70 for a full tank just to get 240 miles
@BradgeVlogs well at the time I was driving a mustang 5.0 but now I’m driving a 3.8 genesis coupe
crazy how he sells this car for 3k out here in Los Angeles California people pay 7 thousand for 03-07 g35 because of the street take overs where everyone does donuts
awesome series!
My favorite RUclips series
What do you think about the duramax motor?
You can clear that airbag light easy. There’s a tutorial on RUclips
Had a G37X fastest bone stock six-cylinder automatic I’ve ever been in horrible gas mileage
Video looks good. Did you get a new camera
3k ????? Omg here in Cali they for $5000 easy in that condition
Tires on the Jeep Wrangler part of the $1000 of expenses?
Great work! Looking forward to ser more 😍
Idk about anyone else but that camera quality is insanely good 👌🏻
Agree. He must be using different ones cuz some shots are unbelievable good quality. Audio is terrible though (only on some clips)
How do you get rid of the smells??
ozonator and a good cleaning
New intro is fantastic!
What camera do you use to film with??
I think a FULL RECAP will be needed soon , Even i forgot how many cars you have gone though.
Love the videos man
Please take us to the car auction. I wanna see the prices and how inflated they are!
Maybe I missed it somewhere, but where did that sweet old Caddy go?
That G35 suspiciously looks like my dads old G35. He came from New York, I wonder if it’s the same car. Eh I doubt it
So with a business you don't pay quarterly estimated taxes?
(I used to have to do that as a 1099 contractor.)
Yes we do
great progress!
I was test driving a c7 corvette and the tank was on Empty. I quickly switch to eco mode and made it to gas station by shear luck!
Yeah the main thing is the customer knowing where they stand with the condition of the car.

$4 fix must have felt awesome.
I think his math is a little off. How many quarts of fluid did it take and how much were they?
very true. I didnt consider the trans fluid
nice toss!!
Well who was that smart tech why dont they get any recognition lord knows some other people get plenty even when its undeserved
True. Not sure he likes the camera as much
Looks like smoke finally figured out how to use editing software lol
