      Most successful guy I ever knew that sold used would close 20+ cars every month knew NOTHING about cars, was nothing more than a glorified yes man. I remember once the folks asked if the car he was showing was FWD and he said, “ohh yeah they don’t even make RWD cars anymore too dangerous in snow” ..it was a Mercury Grand Marquise. Two years later he was finance manager.

      Yes but most of the time the used car salespeople have no idea of the history of the car they are selling. They mist likely got it from auction, have no idea if its ever been in a wreck or has mechanical issues etc, but the buyer is expecting a genuine good-as-it-looks ultra safe ultra reliable purchase. Its almost certainly the most expensive purchase we make after our home, and if you rent you home it's then likely to be the most expensive thing you will buy. So of course you want it to be perfect

    Few stories for the 2 months I worked at a dealership.
    The car auctions are so shady. One time, the dealership bought an impala ss (fwd v8 car). I'm driving it home for the boss and it starts knocking as I get close. Pop the hood and the crank is wobbling. Not good. Manager bought some warranty thing so the car auction took it back. They now owned it. My manager goes a few weeks later and sees the car on the block again. He assumes it's fixed and starts bidding. One of the guys that works there quietly tells him not to buy and that nothing was done to it. How shady is that?!
    I flipped cars on the side while working at the dealership. I would see what the manager paid for cars at the auction. Holy crap. It'd be like 30% more than what I could get the cars for. We'd have so much money in the cars that the only way we made money was with financing. I'm not a huge fan of auctions. The cars just seem to go for too much. The dealers are usually just trying to dump their junk on the next dealer.

    Tyler seems like a genuinely nice guy. Glad to see things ended up working out for him. His father sounds like he deserves some credit for not raising a snowflake as well. Hoovie tried, failed, and tried again until he figured out his thing. His channel is one of my favorites. He is a master of self deprecating humor and is wise enough to show some humility at appropriate moments. The RUclips community, the world, could use more Hoovies...thanks for sharing your story, thanks Ed for doing this for the rest of us mere mortals.

    When folks working a day-to-day job look at their company's owner and think "who's d**k did he have to suck to get that", they fail to understand the truth; It takes a certain kind of person to own a business. They have to see opportunities and chase them, whatever they are. Tyler is one of those people. That he went from trying to make a fortune in car dealerships to making a living in retail food sales then finding success producing a RUclips channel shows he gets it. You don't chase your dreams exclusively, you figure out what you're good at and exploit that talent. If that aligns with your dreams, that's the icing on the cake.

I've never met the man and I probably never will, but Hoovie just strikes me as a genuinely good person with a true passion for cars. He deserves every bit of success he's found thus far, and quite a lot more in the future.

      When I got out of the car business after 15 years and got into my current career that I’ve been in now for 15 years it was interesting to see the car business from the outside.
      To go into the corporate structure that I’m in now made me realize that the car business is the last of the wild wild West. It also unfortunately made me realize the hatred and disrespect that most people have for an occupation that still holds a lot of great lifetime relationships for me today.
      This video was so true I’ve had the same thoughts exactly, exactly that I can flip houses which I’ve done and made $20,000 on in six weeks but if I flip a car and get lucky and make 1000 on it I screwed somebody-it’s supposed to be a charity. Getting out of the car business is like trying to stay away from a drug or alcohol addiction. It’s an sure fire way to make money to live on and exist if you have the talents. When waiting tables or whatever jobs you migrate through trying to stay away from the car business long-term it is tough not to go back when times are financially hard.
      in the United States right now a worker who does not have a criminal record, tattoos and piercings in public view, the ability to show up on time and be reliable, the ability to call a customer back just like you promised you would is very rare. I suggest you Go into a couple large independent insurance agencies in your town or insurance agencies like State Farm, or country companies, or Allstate. I promise you there is a owner of an agency that would be willing to help you get through the insurance licensing process if you had those rare attributes of a worker in the market today. Ask them to pay for your licensing and then withdraw it from your earnings over time when you first start. They will have you on commission as well helping customers with different types of insurance products. You should make 35 to 50,000 in the first year.
      Hang in there, keep looking for an alternative away from where you are surviving right now waiting tables. Good workers are hard to find. Are you a good worker?

      @@shawnmason5290 I see what your saying but the dishonesty and outright lying people have experienced from car dealers/salesman is what gives them the reputation. One time I heard the salesman telling the car appraiser to screw me on my trade in because he thought I would take it and he needed an X dollar sale for the month. Last car I bought for my wife Salesman talking about all these things they were going to "throw in" if I bought the car. Get the sales contract and every one of those things was on there for me to pay a couple grand for. Then the jackalope wants me to sign a paper saying I didn't want them. I told him I don't have to sign shit to not buy something just rewrite the contract without that crap on it. This is after I walked in with my financing setup already but he "tried to get me a better deal" and hit my credit with 3 inquiries from their preferred financers without my permission. Hell John Ficarra just did a story on here about how grimy the salesman were at the Honda dealer he worked for. Its an earned reputation car salesman have.

    College doesn't necessarily teach you something specific that will give you a job. But for the right kind of people, it opens their horizons and introduces them to other lives and other worlds of people. That is a breakthrough for some people. But then there are many people who just pay attention to the same things and the same people in college that they did in high school. To them, college is a waste. If you don't have a particular passion or an entrepreneurial personality, an expensive degree probably isn't for you. Try starting at a junior college and see if it is opening your eyes. If it isn't, maybe try a trade school. If your life takes a turn where you realize your passions require more education, that is the time to go to college.
