I worked a high end auction the other day. Out of 68 cars that we rolled through the block. Only 1 sold. An Aston Martin. There was no shortage of buyers, just that the buyers would not paythe minimum that the sellers wanted.
So they are looking for new owners to buy them, not a dealer that would need to mark it up. No big deal, consumers probably wouldn't buy it if on a retail lot. 😂
@@melissasmess2773 No, I'm sorry, they have to have a Dealers license to bid. It's not open to the public. So they are selling for other dealers, finance companies etc to other dealers.
I looked at a 2012 Ram 2500 Cummins with 200k miles and they wanted me to believe it was a good deal for $37,000. I laughed in his face, and told him at that trim they were new off the lot for 32,000 in 2012. What a joke the car market is, just full of clowns.
To be fair I paid the 1995 retail price for my dodge ram 2500 Cummins in 1999, it had 125,000 miles and I paid $18,000. I got even with these jerks and kept it forever, it has 208,xxx miles now. 😂 Turns out the old Gen 2 ,12 Valve engine, engine is probably the best truck engine ever made. 🥰 I'm 60 now, drive it less than 1,000 miles a year, man it's going to outlive me! 🧐
If you think that's bad. 37k for a 12-year-old truck isn't terrible; it's more of a steal. I've seen one at a used dealer's lot, a 1998, 12-valve Dodge 2500 Cummins, and they wanted 43k for a 26-year-old truck. And it's not a stick either. That same truck in 1998 with the Cummins and 47RE starts at $28,000.
If people are paying $16,800 for an auction 2013 Chevy Avalanche w/88K miles... the market has definitively not bottomed out yet. I was expecting that truck to sell for about $10K or less at auction... and maybe w/a $15K-$16K sticker on a dealer lot. They would need to sell that truck for $19K+ to even sniff any money off it.
The interior is shit. That's a 5k truck all day lol what is wrong with people. My truck on nada says 19k and it's in excellent shape and imo should go for 25k. 2018 f150 3.5 eco lariat crew, max tow 160k. New Toyota open country tires, leveled. Makes no sense at all. Mine was paid in full at purchase no way I would get into another vehicle at these prices. They won't give me shit but will sell it for high price.
@jabronisrus Because look what drivetrain you have. Starting the 4k notorious cam phaser fix. The leaking turbos and no one can repair those trucks except Ford in many of cases. No one wants those outside of warranty. These Avalanches are easy to maintain and parts are reasonably available and priced. You can take it to any mechanic vs that ecoboost where no mechanics will touch outside basic things. It's like the Maserati effect the vehicles are cheap but maintaining is so high.
@@JohnnyLightningV10 nah these people these days are sensitive to sound. Had cold start .25 sec rattle when I bought it at 70k and still has it to this day. Tow 5 days out of the week, change oil/rotate tires every 4k and plugs 30k....still going. Beats the 1k payments idiots making these days. I run a debt free business and almost debt free life so.....
@jabronisrus Keep on driving it especially towing it up on a grade. The retard timing will go one day and boom their goes the motor regardless what Ford told you. Seen it before unlike that avalanche parts are cheap unlike that ecoboost. Your leaking turbos are just a matter of time and price them.
I can't believe dealers are bidding that Avalanche to over $16,000. I wouldn't even pay $16,000 for it at the dealer as a consumer! Who is going to buy that 11 year old Avalanche in fair condition AT BEST for like $22,000 so that dealer can turn some profit? Who is even looking for a 2013 Avalanche? LOL
Yeah I bought an avalanche the engine blew up..🤯transmission blew up🤯 cost $8,000 to fix got rid of that 5.3 put a 6.0 Escalade engine runs like a beast now🤯
What’s cray is that they’re paying these prices and dont even know the true mechanical condition of the vehicle…it easy to hide certain catastrophic issues
I think you just have to be cognizant of what's going on. Know what you are looking for. Check the carfax. I bought a 19 ram 1500, certified pre-owned with engine extended warranty. It's been a good truck.
Dealers are still completely insane. I was waiting to look at a 2000 Silverado, while waiting for the seller to get ready I stopped by a dealership nearby and saw a mild to moderately better condition 04 Silverado with 20K less miles, and extended cab, really a very pretty truck but it was $14k....thats $15 after everything...I just went and bought the truck from the private seller for $5400 and made out with a bandit and even got $500 in free new parts. Not a single other soul was at that dealership looking at anything. This is a well off part of FL as well.
Bull they sticking to everyone as much as possible new or used 2008 t&c van 140 thousand miles on it at 9000 for a 16 year old car list goes on and on and on
There’s a reason that truck is going for that asking price. It’s nearing classic car age. Vehicles like that silverado have generally reached the point where they don’t depreciate anymore.
@@Palerider2023 and I’ve seen trucks like that sell for 25k or more. Once the current recession is over they’ll probably fetch more. Kinda like how old boomer trucks that were 4 figures have traded for up 6 figures at auctions like Barret Jackson.

thats not to far off. we dont know the specs. i paid 9300 for my 2013 with 106 k not too long ago. but again im the consumer.. so their going to be listing at 20ish
Thank you for this comment. You are correct. It will probably take another year or two of denial before prices finally come back down to not being stupid high.
@@plica06or it’ll never go back down to what it used to be. Just ask the boomers who kept waiting for cars to go back to 1-2k new after vehicles jumped to 4K+ in the 70’s. They’ve only gone up from there.
It will never crash at lower prices , here in the USA. inflation is just as high as 3rd world countries our dollar is now just 60 cents, other countries buy these vehicles at a bargain so dealers are not stupid they can send them world wide.

You make great vids. Just recommend you put a table of all the bid prices and models in a table as a summary. Hard to follow you in those bids. Great work!
I feel your pain. Only way you can get a deal at an auction these days if the unit needs over $1000 worth of work. And these big car manufacturers are basically making way over priced 1 year cars. My personal opinion of the over price issue is the big manufacturers and dealers were basically screwing ppl during covid and made alot of negative equity trade ins. I may be wrong but that's what i seem to see.
"Who writes a 1 like that, and then a 7 like that" - I thought the exact same when a colleague from Germany was visiting/training at our office in the UK.

They accept advise the same as we did. But it is entertaining to see them making similar mistakes. I often wonder if our parents felt the same way about us.
I didn't see even one car approaching anything reasonable in that auction. But the flooring costs keep going up for the dealers and the makers. They obviously know something I don't like people rush out to buy overpriced cars for Christmas instead of presents. And that mean another 6 month of no sales and mounting interest. Let's see when the bankruptcy avalanche starts. The banks won't like it either, since they'll be squeezed on the other side by the RE avalanche. Lets see how fast they can dump inventory?
I appreciate your videos! You were very informative about waiting to buy a new car. I traded my 2009 Camry Le w/ 127, 000 miles for 3 500 for a 2022 Toyota Camry LE for $20 000 with 38 000 miles back in December, 2023. I really didn't want a 2024 because they were so expensive!
So many of those cars should have sold for thousands under what they did. Insane prices still . And yes I understand not everything is just about the year of the vehicle and how many miles it has on it.
I just want to say that I appreciate your content and believe most of what you are saying. You are arguably one of the most upfront believable used car dealerships out there, would love if I could tell you what I am looking for with your minimal markup and get what I am looking for. With that being said you do not deal in the price range I am looking at, not that I disagree with your philosophy on current car market, actually believe that you are spot on. The disappointing thing for me is that your thumbnails are just for clicks as the car market I am following is not coming down. Again you are giving good content, but numbers are not matching captions.
I've owned an Avalanche. More luxurious than a Cadillac (had EVERY option) and pulled my 30 foot Jayco just fine ... Expensive at the pumps, but what do you expect. I really liked that truck.
Lucky! I wanted one so bad back in the day when I was married. Loved Gen 1 green. The flexibility would have been great. Ended up with Sienna minivan instead. 🙃
if i was an auction there is no way id make it private right now. Would bring in more people, drive up prices but at the same time your everyday guy would get stuff way cheaper than your middle man salesman deals. Except for that avalanche thats wild paying that much for it lol
ONCE YOU GET OVER 100K MILES.. value has to drop a shit ton due to all of the accessory repair (alternator/starter/power steering) and the fluids/normal 100k mile mx items. That's easily 7k or more depending on the status of the suspension etc.
Same as the housing market, the used car market won't come down until the new car market comes down. You can't get into a new 4 door 4x4 truck for under $50k... someone who NEEDS a truck will pay $20k for a truck with 88k miles. Even a pos like an avalanche
I would definitely be a bar that avalanche I’d add goes high is 15 five for it. I had one when they first came out, but it brand new off the showroom floor. The local Chevy dealer went into business the next day, and I beat the daylights out of the landscape industry. When I got rid of my avalanche, it had 250,000 miles for itand it was pretty much on its last leg and I still got $2500 cash towards a ram 1500 back in the day.
Generally, agree if it's not a modern diesel. I won't buy a brand new modern diesel. Not worth the trouble. There are some solid V8s from GM that I'd consider or the V10 Triton from Ford, if well maintained.
I have a 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro with 31246 Miles What would be a good asking price to sell or trade off? Its Metal Gray Leather Seats Moonroof with Big Tires.
As a Yankee in upstate NY, i definitely would have bought that Tacoma lol. Especially at that price it went for. Like you said, us up north people that ain't a lot of rust for us 😂
I like the 400,000 mile car. "It's not worth much" Exactly. Make it roadworthy. Low insurance, no debt, license/registration will be cheap. And won't be a target for theft. - new suspension - engine overhaul - new tires All that is cheap if you do the work yourself. Cheap, old, but good. Perfect. Will not be buying an $85,000 truck, at any time, for any reason.
Man Toyotas current issues with their engines has really affected them worse than I thought! it wasnt to long ago a Toyota that looked that good would bring 20k even with the rust and people would be throwing money at you at that price.
For dealers to pay $15k for a 100k+ mile vehicles what's there break even on it, reconditioning, maybe small.mechanical repairs etc I'm one of those old guys that would pay 5 figures for anything like that, I'd rather find some way older, non computered vehicle and put $ to fix it up..the way auto makers build cars they have a shelf life of a bid lighter..imo Your videos are great...thanks
New car prices are so high, people aren't buying them. When they don't buy them, they don't trade in their used car. Dealers are fighting for used cars because of this and because they are lower priced than new, they actually sell. The used car maket isn't going to crash anytime soon. Simple supply and demand. New car prices will fall first. Example Stellantis, but it will take time for all those new cars to make their way into the used market.
Guys if you think that Avalanche is crazy there's a 2002 toyota echo at my local craigslist with 150k miles for $5,000 😂 brand new the car was $12,000, yet here we are.
When used trucks start costing less than what they sold for new, then i`ll start looking at them! They have 2019 F250`s selling with 100K for 62K when they sold new for 48K! People need to stop paying these prices!
I have a 2020 Hyundai ELANTRA with 37K miles on it and showroom condition. The dealer is only offering me 9000 as a trade-in. I should bring it to this auction, I could probably get 20 K for it.

If you don't play you can't pay your bills, obviously too many sharks and not enough vehicles.
That maroon Camry was not taken care of at all so you know they didn't service it or change the oil
Can’t stop laughing at that part. So good!
Should have "Dutch Auctions". Start High and drop by increments...........FIRST BID TAKES IT! Cuts through the BS.
you guys have been saying it's over for 2 years and the prices have not come down
I just want to say that I appreciate your content and believe most of what you are saying. You are arguably one of the most upfront believable used car dealerships out there, would love if I could tell you what I am looking for with your minimal markup and get what I am looking for. With that being said you do not deal in the price range I am looking at, not that I disagree with your philosophy on current car market, actually believe that you are spot on. The disappointing thing for me is that your thumbnails are just for clicks as the car market I am following is not coming down. Again you are giving good content, but numbers are not matching captions.
I've owned an Avalanche. More luxurious than a Cadillac (had EVERY option) and pulled my 30 foot Jayco just fine ... Expensive at the pumps, but what do you expect. I really liked that truck.
Lucky! I wanted one so bad back in the day when I was married. Loved Gen 1 green. The flexibility would have been great. Ended up with Sienna minivan instead. 🙃
A local large Chevy dealer just bought a local used car dealership to sell cars that they would have otherwise sent to auction. Interesting!
WOW those East Coast hillbillys must have deep pockets! Those cars are priced higher than what you would see in Commifornia
Because it’s called crimefornians will
Just buy 😂it
if i was an auction there is no way id make it private right now. Would bring in more people, drive up prices but at the same time your everyday guy would get stuff way cheaper than your middle man salesman deals. Except for that avalanche thats wild paying that much for it lol
ONCE YOU GET OVER 100K MILES.. value has to drop a shit ton due to all of the accessory repair (alternator/starter/power steering) and the fluids/normal 100k mile mx items. That's easily 7k or more depending on the status of the suspension etc.
Gotta crawl under and look at frame between cab and bed on those older tacos that’s where they rust in half
Same as the housing market, the used car market won't come down until the new car market comes down. You can't get into a new 4 door 4x4 truck for under $50k... someone who NEEDS a truck will pay $20k for a truck with 88k miles. Even a pos like an avalanche
I would definitely be a bar that avalanche I’d add goes high is 15 five for it. I had one when they first came out, but it brand new off the showroom floor. The local Chevy dealer went into business the next day, and I beat the daylights out of the landscape industry. When I got rid of my avalanche, it had 250,000 miles for itand it was pretty much on its last leg and I still got $2500 cash towards a ram 1500 back in the day.
I wouldn't buy a used car with over 200k miles unless it was a diesel.
Generally, agree if it's not a modern diesel. I won't buy a brand new modern diesel. Not worth the trouble.
There are some solid V8s from GM that I'd consider or the V10 Triton from Ford, if well maintained.
"...the El Camino of trucks." 😂😂😂
I loved el camino as a kid even got to ride in one for a while
I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with 276k miles. Runs great,
As always thanks for showing the high mileage beautiful beater.
Does the $15,300 include the price of the replacement transmission that the Tahoe, Suburbans, and Silverados at auction absolutely need?🤣
He overbid on that Lexus. Tryna recoup some of that money 😂😂😂
I have a 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro with 31246 Miles What would be a good asking price to sell or trade off? Its Metal Gray Leather Seats Moonroof with Big Tires.
As a Yankee in upstate NY, i definitely would have bought that Tacoma lol. Especially at that price it went for. Like you said, us up north people that ain't a lot of rust for us 😂
I like the 400,000 mile car.
"It's not worth much"
Exactly. Make it roadworthy. Low insurance, no debt, license/registration will be cheap.
And won't be a target for theft.
- new suspension
- engine overhaul
- new tires
All that is cheap if you do the work yourself.
Cheap, old, but good. Perfect.
Will not be buying an $85,000 truck, at any time, for any reason.
These prices are insane i remember in the 90s anything over 75,000 miles was considered a junk car and your insane if you paid more than $100
Maybe you can work with other dealers and see the pricing in different area's
keep up the great work with transparency !
Brother, U have Excellent Promo. Me & my beautiful Wife eat these often. The food is awesome. No disappointments. peace
Wrong year on that Avalanche, GMT800 before fuel management and emissions ruined the engines
Man Toyotas current issues with their engines has really affected them worse than I thought! it wasnt to long ago a Toyota that looked that good would bring 20k even with the rust and people would be throwing money at you at that price.
My Dad had bad rear noise quite often and thought it was hilarious. 😆🤭
For dealers to pay $15k for a 100k+ mile vehicles what's there break even on it, reconditioning, maybe small.mechanical repairs etc
I'm one of those old guys that would pay 5 figures for anything like that, I'd rather find some way older, non computered vehicle and put $ to fix it up..the way auto makers build cars they have a shelf life of a bid lighter..imo
Your videos are great...thanks
Rear axle noise? My wife just kept turning up that radio until gears/bearings locked up! 3rd member was deep purple from heat.
As soon as interest rates tick back up, it will be much more expensive to tie up money in lot rot.
Just bought a 96’ f150 for 4k. Runs like a champ
New car prices are so high, people aren't buying them. When they don't buy them, they don't trade in their used car. Dealers are fighting for used cars because of this and because they are lower priced than new, they actually sell. The used car maket isn't going to crash anytime soon. Simple supply and demand. New car prices will fall first. Example Stellantis, but it will take time for all those new cars to make their way into the used market.
That avalanche won’t make it to the dealership hahah
Just why
Question: Are there more buyers turning up or is it just less people buying more vehicles?
Guys if you think that Avalanche is crazy there's a 2002 toyota echo at my local craigslist with 150k miles for $5,000 😂 brand new the car was $12,000, yet here we are.
At this point, I have to believe these auctions are just dealers playing with old money. No one is actually buying this junk, are they?
Vote Trump.
When used trucks start costing less than what they sold for new, then i`ll start looking at them! They have 2019 F250`s selling with 100K for 62K when they sold new for 48K! People need to stop paying these prices!
I have a 2020 Hyundai ELANTRA with 37K miles on it and showroom condition. The dealer is only offering me 9000 as a trade-in. I should bring it to this auction, I could probably get 20 K for it.
Crazy prices. It seems the market never recoverd from cash for clunkers.
I write my 7 like that! Good ole fashion North Carolina education system!
Bad rear noises and smoking what a combo.
Re: bad rear noise.
We refer to it as "crop dusting", thank you very much. 😊
No one has ever said car dealers are smart.
Where do you advertise for your car lot?
my wife hates it when my rear end makes a bad noise .....🤣🤣
How do you feel about it when her rear end makes a bad noise? 🤣😆😆🤣
got a Euro or Quebec writer on that lot... that 1 and that 7!
Prices are still Pie-in-the-Sky! Dayuum!
Bad rear noises? Must be the Taco Bell....
Funny!
I rarely eat Taco Bell, but I tell ya the tooting that goes in from BOTH of us at night is almost entertaining.
*flap* *flap* *flap*
Would of been nice to know what that white Ram 1500 went for towards the beginning of the video
Brandon what did those apocalypse trucks sell for?
The EV push will keep used vehicle prices high for the foreseeable future. Less inventory of used vehicles people want. No crash will ever happen.
