I bought this 2000 Cadillac Crystal Coach Hearse at Copart Salvage Auction with Mechanical Damage. The bid was super cheap but in the end it ended up costing over $1000 to get rid of it. I also bought a Twin Turbo V8 BMW 550i with a locked up engine, I tried starting it anyway.

Hi Sam, as the hearse had a spare, why didn't you put it on?
Dude this is a great question. A terrific question.
@@Samcrac would the lugs line up?
Lmao
He didn't think about it
It's one of those things
Because if he puts the spare on he still then has no spare in the event of another blow out. Spare is only a temporary solution
@@Squishington3rd It looked like a full sized spare. probably same wheel as the ones on the ground.
Buying a used high-end Beemer is like dating an aging supermodel with a really really bad coke habit.
Still nice to look at, but the price you end up paying is just not worth it.
If she has a really really bad coke habit that’s nothing nice to look at
ask Hoovie
I thought that was watchJrblows ex girlfriend she had that methhead look.
American Versions of German Cars are so Crap. And those high performance cars get abused like crazy and don't get maintenance
Haha nice
Rofl i love how he avoided using the word "coffin" the whole time.
straycatnip Probably ‘casket’ would be the word he’s avoiding in the USA?
@@markbennett6658 either word is used regularly in the US, at least in the Northeast where I am.
Why would he use the word coffin or casket in this scenario?
really
Coffin is RUclips demonetization trigger word
Oh man I wish you had that Hearse in Chicago. I had a spare nitrous kit for it!
I’m sure if you chained it to something heavy and drove away it would tear it in half.
Turn your old Escalade into a lifted off-road killer!!
i've worked on hearses and they smell like embalming fluid. The most sickening was the coroner's car. It smelled like old dried blood and had spatters of blood on the floors and headliner.
Just change the engine
I mean swap
That hearse needed a hearse for itself!
cut it and turn it into an el camino
This happened to a friend of mine when his car had 65K miles and he called bmw HQ and bitched about it they ended up giving him a discount on a long block instead of paying 7600 for a long block he got the engine from the dealership next to him for 3500 and payed a thousand dollars to get it installed it’s an amazing car
He mentions a long block, then he states getting the old heads reconditioned. A short block would require fixing the old heads, but a long block includes new heads.
These sponsors are not paying him enough.
:)
The hearse is going to 'rust in peace'.
The Samcrac FLEET is off the rails!
Also mostly off the road

When you see those woods full of rare old cars with trees growing through the engine bay. This is how they start! 👍
Ratspeed Garage Frank off American Pickers will come past in about 60 years and want to buy some cars off him
Hi Sam. That might have been my old car. If so it was stolen last year. After recovery the Insurance company had deemed the car beyond repairable and Totaled the vehicle. It always leaked oil (would have to add a quart of oil very often) and had battery issues all the time. Though the car is beautiful and very powerful it was a lemon from the time I got it. Best of luck. Happy to give you more information on the car if you can determine if it came from Nashville.
Wait that 550i was possibly yours?!
EA40's Life With Cars he wrote a whole paragraph about it possibly being his. so yes, he thinks it’s his old 550i
@TRUMP 2020 no
Just say the last 4 digits of the vin or something so he can check with that, or of a scratch somewhere or something broken on the interior, wear marks on the key if it was truly yours you could give him some info
I really like the behind the scenes aspect of the video. Nice job. We all love the content and watching things get fixed but getting there is part of the challenge.
Thanks 👍
Absolutely.... not everything is profit!
Superior Coach has been making specialty vehicles for 90 years. I had one that was a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville Hearse with a 421 engine... What a blast that was to drive to the junk yards picking up muscle car parts.!!
God I'm having war-time flashbacks watching this video. I've had some rough experiences with those turbo BMWs lol. Imagine feeling the embarrassment of driving such a nice car down the highway, but out of NOWHERE you fill up all 8 lanes of the freeway with a thick blue smoke and not being able to do anything about it
Not Hitler that’s just unfortunate lol
You're late, I'm not paying for those
Hoovie: Welcome to the stupidest car channel on RUclips.
Samcrac: Hold my beer.
I thought they were twins
@@riskinhos you can recognize one from the other easily. One of them have cars that works, is a very successful business man and have a great sense of humour. The other one is Samcrac.
Sam is the handy version of Hoovie.
I started watching Sam first, I think one of his videos helped me fix something on a friends car
Dominic Duran except he never finishes projects
@@Mark-yi4be Ch
But Hoovies cars are sorted, they run and drive when Wizard are done with them. And without head gasket sealer...
Lol Sam is no mechanic by a long stretch
Sam the type of guy to hit 1 million subs and not talk about it on RUclips.
The amount of rust on that cursed hearse definitely qualifies it as a "deathtrap" - groans!!!
Thank you for this video bro. I've been buying a lot of cars lately and seeing the king of Copart make mistakes makes me feel tons better! Have a good one!
Auto Auction Rebuilds hey randy
Buying cars makes you feel better??? Id recommend never trying drugs.
@@Jdalio5 learn to read idiot
As the program was, BMW supplies a short engine, it has heads, valve covers, spark plugs vacuum pump, water pump. I put one in and it was $12k with all the other stuff, injectors, turbos, gaskets, seals, one time use bolts and fluids... brand new updated engine with zero miles. It's actually more like a long block, with new turbos and tune it's easy 500 horse and running perfect. The program for replacement BMW was covering 90% of the short engine cost. In other words it's a $30,000 engine that you get if you're lucky it's going to be $9k to $15k with labor and stuff. The one I did took me a a week but held up the hoist for almost a month waiting for parts.
Bruh, pls dont rap anymore. Stick to your day job... whatever that is... lol
How much is the lemon Lincoln.
I thought it was funny
I think he was better than what's the mumble thing out there. Lol
The curse of the hearse falls mainly on one’s purse.
Great video Sam, appreciate watching someone humble enough to admit their losses. Keep up the good work.
Waiting for the Range Rover...
Sam keeps buying cars that I have, and have the same issues. My 2011 Range Rover is about to need a timing chain, and my 2014 550i got a new engine under warranty six months ago. Keep it up sam you rock and these videos are great!
You literally bought 2 of the worst cars you could possibly get lmao
murry001 depends what you’re looking for in a car. Personally, I don’t care about reliability so high end European cars don’t scare me. I’ve been able to manage the costs of my Range Rover through a great independent mechanic, doing some work myself, and good parts suppliers. The BMW is under CPO warranty and they’ve now covered about $48k of work on it. If I REALLY need to get somewhere, I have a Tacoma.
A 535i with an N55 modded and tuned is far more reliable than one of these engines stock. I know it is because Alpina's variant has twin turbos and revised tuning making more power and torque. Crazy how badly they messed these up.
Went to college with a kid that drove a 70’s powder blue hearse to school
was he the quiet kid at college ?
@@ldtworks1052 Are you implying somebody that owns and drives a hearse is a certain kind of person?
Lol crazy!!!
LiamYT 😂
Sam, thank you for being upfront and honest in your videos.
I’m actually happy to hear that not every auction was a success. Makes you more human.
Samcrac does the best inboard RUclips advertising 😂
Remember when Sam used to finish his resto projects?
Neither do we.
Pepperidge Farm remembers when Sam finally realized he put the handle on his floorjack on wrong. That is about it for him doing anything.
Sam's videos can wake up the dead with the laughter they bring.
Hi Sam, I have greate respect for you to make a video like this. Rich had the same problem once and you show us, that it can happen to anybody. I'm talking about buying lot's of stuff, that seam to be good invest but turn out to be too much work for one. Stay save! Looking forward to some new awesome videos on your channel! Wish you all the best from Germany
Those headlights aren’t full LED. The actual low beams are HID xenon inside the projectors. 2014 up LCI got option for full LED low and high beams.
Sam, there was a video series with the Beemerr. Imagine an LS swap, that would be cool t to see.
Sure would, but tough to do. Lots of stuff that doesn't plug and play, from engine mounts to gauge cluster wiring etc. A nightmare for someone that doesn't do stuff like that all the time and even for those who do, its usually a bitch...
In South Africa the Lexus V8 is a popular swop
@@step4560 , now I want to see it even more.
Thank you for inspiring me to start my own channel Sam. All of your information especially on Copart has been very helpful. I decided to start my own channel where I buy wrecked cars and fix them to give away to those in need. I had a brain tumor removed 3 years. I was sick for a long time and almost died from the operation. That inspired me to use my second chance on life to helping others. Just finished my first car and will be giving it away next week. I'm would like to ask you what software you use for your editing? I know a lot about cars but I know nothing of editing and thats been a big learning curve. I'm using we video now but it's been giving me issues with uploading videos to edit. Thanks again for all you do sam.
Thanks Samcrac for the honest upload and showing not all uploads are successful cheer mate from Brisbane Australia
That BMW would’ve gotten an LS swap if it were mine lol
That would be nice. More reliable and cheaper. But a wiring nightmare and I doubt you could get the GM stuff to talk to the BMW stuff. So maybe if you pulled all the electronics from a Caprice/G8 maybe.

Great video Sam. I learned about the curse of the Cadillac's messing with 80's 90's and 2000's and I refuse to work on them. They are a major pain in the ass! Keep up the good work.
Sam BMWs need to be in Park ‘P’ for them to start, you were in Neutral
It automatically goes into park... and even if it wouldnt, i will show on the screen that you have to put it in park
He was also starting by holding brake you gotta hold gas
IRU Funniest Videos no thats not true
Thas how my 328i f30 starts🤷🏾♂️
You could hear the start clicking... it was not going to turn over.
I bought a hearse a couple weeks ago. Mines cooler it’s a 1983 Cadillac’s also in much better shape and was part of an old tv show.
ok
That's so cool!
What coach company made it?
Mexican Spec fisher made the body and it says century on the side
I would love to see you break down a car and sell the parts I think a lot of people would Sam Great video 👍
Glad to see what's happening with the fleet, great video!
Time to start listing my junkyard. Eventually Samcrac will buy it.
Sam - have you dug a big hole for those range rovers yet??!!! ;)
Perhaps he can stick in Hoovies Range Rover tested grave? I
Sam....Glad to know we all go through the same headaches dealing with cars! I'm up to 35 and HAVE to face reality that is too much for one guy. Sadly, they are Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars and MB. The market for these cars are limited compared to Honda, Toyota, etc. Plus, I absolutely hate dealing with the public...like saying they are coming to look at a car and never show up! I really enjoy your channel because you "tell it like it is" and you do not try to impress like some of your friends! Take care!
i really like your style, great videos, i'm learning a lot without risking anything, thank you
In my country, that BMW, in that condition, could sell at 12k $ as a whole or just for the parts
You and your stupid country

Liviu Lvu it’s about that much money here in the USA too... it’s crazy. Especially if you buy them from BMW dealership.
@@LiviuLvu romania?
Sam, your cars are beginning to look like hoopties 😂
The hearse is rusty but I don't think it's splitting in half. It looks like the join has been disguised with body filler, and some surface rust on the metal underneath has expanded, blown the filler and cracked the paint.
Mistakes only makes you more real in a picture perfect world! Thanks for sharing!
I used to work as a mechanic for three years,and we had more BMWs coming in with eitehr sensor issues or something that was hidden in the OBD2 scan. Since then,I would never buy a BMW. BMW - Great looks,bad maintenance costs
I will admit bmw have there issues but i had 2 bmws one of then was e39 530i zero issues and had 113k miles and then e90 328i and it was good car and no problems too
If I had the money, I wouldn't shirk at buying or leasing a new BMW. I don't have the money for that so I'll stick to buying used Toyotas.
When you're a mechanic, you ONLY see the broken ones.
Sam's adds are so damn funny lmaooooo
Yeah like his grinch and simply safe home ones.
I like you giving us your wins & your fails. Thanks 👍🙏
Loving the channel. Keep up the good work Sam
I was here when this was still a hearse
It would have been a “over the top” pizza-mobile!!!
Ya. Put a rattle can Dom I Noes paintjob on it and they would have bought the car from you. Profit!
That hearse could hold one hell of a large pizza oven.
The “Original Tombstone Pizza”
Sam putting oil in that BMW without a funnel, like some kind of savage.
Thanks for your honesty.
Shouldn’t it say “cant start .... blown engine” 😂
It was from Florida, grammar isn't their forte.
@@justinclark5078 well, maybe it _did_ start, and the locked up because of no oil?
@@kain0m touche
List some cars on “Cars & Bids”
Sam great episode not every car is a home run! Keep at it love the content!
The only thing faster than an old beemer is the money leaving your wallet trying to keep it on the road. 😎
Those aren’t the “optional LEDs” those are the standard xenon projector headlights.
Correct.
Sam got a hearse, I suppose he has to get rid of the dead horses he keeps flogging
you always have good videos! Cheers from Portugal!
Full engine rebuild here in Lithuania for BMW 550 is around 3500 eur. Did it around 5 years ago and 140000 km ago. Still works perfect
Again I wish i had this much money to waste
"It smells kinda bad"... lol...
Congrats on a million subscribers Sam!
Thank you!!
I really liked this vid. So much good info
Sam, were you going to turn the HEARSE into a LOW RIDER?!? On 20s? 😂🤣💀 Wish your plans would of went through. 🚗
I really like bedtime stories.
Your auction explorations are great. Talk about don't-know consciousness! This is it!
Interesting video as always. Can't wait for the next one
Keep the hearse to carry Sam's hopes and dreams for some of the other cars.
Who buys a hearse
With the covid running rampant hearses are in demand
Have you seen any of those episodes of Tiny Houses?
@@on-site4094
Too soon, breh
Curse of the hearse.
@Daver G SJW?
Only just got round to watching the video Sam. Love it they could make a film about the hearse lol as you say not always easy to make money we all make mistakes
ONE MILLION RUclips SUBSCRIBERS CONGRATS! 🏁🏁🏁
Why not buy a working engine and just swap them?
Because they're all broken
Why sam? Why invest in money pits?
Better than smelly arm pits
I like u cuz u a real dude. I wish I had da money u have to do wat u do. I love that You get into details about your projects and your stepmom is also hot too I just seen that but anyways you always show every detail and everything you do with all your cars and you’re not scared to go to AutoZone or Harbor freight or wherever you go and that’s cool about you keep it up and stay real
Wow, Sam, what a bad bunch of occurrences that happened to you. Feel bad for you buddy. You did tell the story in a nice way (not poor me) so credit to you as always! Hope the next few purchases work out better! Love the channel. Stay well.
The last time my comment got this many likes I was caught dead!
First!! Not LOL
Hey @samcrac if you ever get a seized motor Try draining the oil and replacing it with marvels mystery oil! Let it sit for a few days and you may be surprised! Honestly I’ve never tried it on a Euro like that BMW but I’ve un-seized a few motors with that method! It worked for me on an old chevy truck with a V-8 a Saab 9000 also a older VW Golf and a few others! I’ve also had it not work.... but the Saab was locked right up let that marvels sit for 2 days drained it out filled it with some 5w30 and drove it for 2 more years
A sleeper herse build sounds awesome! Do it man.
Right on for showing when things go wrong
5 mins in and I bet this has a snapped timing chain which is located way in the back of the engine....around $10,000 at repair shop to fix.
u have great attitude and u enjoy what ur doing .
Great video update!!
Hey Sam, I have a 2012 BMW F07 550i GT. It was serviced it’s whole life with my local BMW here in South Florida. At 114,000 miles, I’ve had an above average high mileage BMW ownership experience. Car is in great shape except for a fuel supply/drivetrain malfunction warning. Codes showed low pressure from high pressure fuel pump and bad O2 sensors pre cats. BMW replaced O2 sensors and gave it a clean bill of health. I have a sagging panoramic sun visor, a result of a shattered spooling mechanism. At 2,600 to repair, that alone nearly totals the car. Haha. I love the car. I will completely fund the engine swap even as it runs perfectly. I want to swap up to the S63 and fully bullet proof this engine. I’m a machinist and would fabricate all fittings as needed. Would you be interested in a collaboration? I would leave the car to your channel and your expertise. Either way, thanks for all the content.
I have a rare f10 550i with a 6 speed manual and I just put a new short block from bmw for $3400 it does come as a complete short block with heads just swap over electrical ...turbos etc .... great car
Loving your videos, Sam. Nice to see a few cars that we have in the UK...but not that stinking hearse lol
congrats on 1 million subs man
keep up he good work
We all make mistakes, it’s being able to share those mistakes with others and know when to quit on a car that makes you so great to watch!!
I don't know why I even like this channel. I hate working on cars but I can't stop watching.
Hi Sam love your vids keep up on the grind and keep repairing some germen’s 😂
I have one of these beautiful and unreliable beast but a 2014 model with the updated look, ie. updated LED headlights, iDrive, etc. No problem so far, love the drive but I know it's a timebomb before the engine blows up, so thinking of letting it go end of year. Any recommendation on where should i let it go? I know the dealership will definitely slaughter me but would selling it to carvana but a good idea?
