Ivan, you have some MASSIVE BALLS to push back like you did!!! One can get away with that here in America, but in Russia these days? Wow! You’re one brave man! All the best to you from Arizona, USA.
No matter where you go people are people with the capacity for good and evil. I have been treated as less than human in Russia and as family by strangers, but I have also had both experiences in America. There is something to the idea that when a society rejects norms of human sanctity and decency, there is a rot which spreads like a plague. But each person in that society, whether they realize it or not, has a choice. This is what we face in America today, will we be a country with just balls or one with heart as well?
he meant he was allowed in there it was publically accessible part of dealership. As for recording, private business has right to ask you out if they don't like it.
@@djsatane If in US, the business can call the cop for sure for his refusal to stop filming or leaving the business. But maybe in Russia, the constitution allows filming, and it becomes the business owner's fault.
in some countries, it's interpreted as public space if you have a door that is open to the public for customers. in Finland, photography is allowed in private shops, but the owner always has the right to choose his customers. therefore, the photographer may be asked to leave. but he can't ask you to delete whatever you filmed, or ask to see it, and it's lawful to film, and he can't ask you to stop filming, just throw you out. and you don't have to tell the police what you filmed, show the police what you filmed, and you don't have to delete it even if the police ask you to delete it. police officers may be photographed in a public place. they just sometimes here get agitated about it and make illegal orders, like telling you to stop filming, and then they get fines in court to pay you. - while so, there are added restrictions here, if you film _other_ people _in the middle of a moment with police or medics,_ then you may be violating their privacy if you film _and_ publicize it and dont have their explicit permission to publicize it. if you don't publicize it, then filming is fine, you are not violating their privacy. while so, a police officer is in a public place in a public office, and filming is restricted only in exceptional circumstances. sometimes cops make mistakes over what is "exceptional circumstance" and what is not. sometimes its " ...which must be assessed separately from the dissemination of the resulting material", like when some outsiders films you when you blow into police alcohol meter and it shows you are drunk. if he publicizes that without your permission, that can be invading privacy, even if on public setting. but that is only _if_ he publicizes it. filming is still allowed. police does not have direct power to prohibit filming in that situation. therefore it depends if he is streaming it live, or not, if the filming is a crime, or not. and filming/voice recording the things that involve yourself with an official is always legal, and you can publicize when it involves yourself, then it has your permission, and you can violate your own privacy as much as you want.
Ivan I’m from west Texas. I got a TRX. It is an absolute dream of mine. We have a big ranch. If you ever make your way into the states let me know and I’ll let you experience what the TRX can do off-road. Keep up the good work
I would be careful using such lines. The russian constitution doesn't mean a thing to russian government officials. They are more than happy to treat it like toilet roll to get their way
I've been going back to Ivan's first videos here on RUclips. Definitely worth looking back on to learn more on his life and issues he's gone through to understand him a little better. He's a frustrated American young man, stuck in a Russian body in Russia....Stay safe my friend.
Ivan, go now please… this is a scary situation. I remember the USSR and the KGB. Please, please go asap… please P.S. SERIOUSLY you and Evalina should go ASAP. These guys don’t mess around… Thailand, Turkey, Georgia, or anywhere but Russia…
Corrupt as hell, things are stolen and stuffs accounted on the paper aren't actually there - a military of giant paper grizzly because everything was stolen, same how it was back in Soviet Union - 1000% same thing
The average Russian monthly income is between 300 and 600 dollars. So while its still a lot in the US, you can see how crazy it would be to the average Russian.
I looked this up. The starting price for a 2024 Cadillac Escalade in the USA is about 82 thousand US dollars. Probably they don't sell many at that price because they are not fully-equipped. There are plenty of businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and other highly-paid people here who can afford that. As a retired teacher, I can only pay about 35 thousand for a car at the very most.
Exactly. People in Russia get sent to jail for holding a white piece of paper in the Kremlin. I don't think the FSB would approve of his content. I hate to think his days may be numbered.
The content we enjoy is you, Evelina, and the cats, alive, well, and free. Try to stay that way and stop pissing off the FSB and the Oligarchs who buy black market American cars from them. - R.W.
The Lincoln Navigator is more than twice the cost of ordering one here in the US. The top of the line Lincoln SUV can be had for $74,000. A 2024 Dodge pickup base price here is $44,000 to $54,000 and you can pick out your options, color, etc. Dealers here are having to offer discounts ($7500) to move the pickups, so they are fairly cheap and available. I do love the look and power of the Dodge Ram cars, really sporty. There is a lot of disruption in the car markets as people ride the fence on whether to move into the Electric Vehicle era. Personally, I like the idea of an electric vehicle due to better torque but am waiting for the Solid State Batteries to come on line, providing much greater range and quicker charging.
Wow...Ivan! That....was....Crazy! I can't believe it. You did good. You stayed calm and stuck up for yourself. Evelina too!😂 Good for her! As much as I love your car review's.....I started getting the bad vibes and think you did the right thing by just leaving. Any video's you make Ivan are all interesting. I'm just happy to see my two favorite people! You and Evelina! ❤❤❤😊

Maybe all land in russia is owned by the government in a similar way. Public space could also apply to anywhere the public is able to go, like in a store. I dont kno. In the US, public space is like the street, sidewalk, a park, basically outside. So UK and US laws sound similar.
I was wondering before how did they let him film everywhere else. We will go to a BMW centre in France, there is something they sent a message they need to do for all bmw, some programme or whatever, for free, so while waiting i will try to film inside the bmw dealership i wonder whether they will say anything. I bet they will
As Ivan has previously explained the Russian Constitution allows anyone to film anywhere that the public has access. Permission is not required. This includes shopping malls, shops, restaurants and car dealers showrooms. Ivan is well known for exercising this right. It is a freedom they have in Russia that is not available in most other parts of the world. Long may it continue.
@@davidhartwell4826 Less of a freedom and more of an easy excuse for intrusive government surveillance. Russians expect to be filmed and face scanned every second they are in public, certainly in the cities. If you are filming and witness any corruption or abuse your life is at risk, and since Siberia always has room for another warm body, why would they care what accidents happen to you. At the heart of it, that is the difference. Our governments in the west, whatever their flaws, don't keep the population living in fear.
You did it again Ivan, another informative and entertaining video. Thank you for giving America's like me the opportunity to see what daily life is like in Russia.
What was informative about this video? Lmao. He literally made things up about "government officials" buying cars with money they "shouldn't have". Nothing but clickbait nonsense.
Two thumbs up, Ivan. I loved it when that guy got up in your face, and you told him to back off. Those prices for American cars were off the scale. Way too expensive. That black market dealer is making a killing, selling to oligarchs and politicians. Nice vehicles, though. They are probably shipped to Turkey, and then to Russia.
Wow great video. This car visit was the best. At first I was sad that a place selling American cars gave you the hardest time of all, but then, it actually sounds like it was in honor of some Russian Govt thief wanting a nice cool American car. As an American, I will take that as a compliment. About the EV Hummer. I can't believe you got one there. I haven't seen one in person yet and I actually have an EV (2023 Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition). Nice find. If you ever visit Charlotte, NC, let me know and I will let you test drive my other three cars too, a 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, 2015 BMW M4, and classic 1981 Jeep CJ5 (fully restored).
I am from the USA that Cadillac Escalade is way too expensive.The brand new one that you looked at the black one. Here in my country, you could get that exact vehicle for around a $125,000. So there over charge you my freind. And the dodge ram is about $120,000 Tops in the usa there over charging you for those cars my freind. Your English is Amazing 👏 Great Job I don't like many Russian because of the War but you guys can't call it that for what ever reason. Your pretty chill kid new subscriber here to stay.great video bro much love from the United States of America 🇺🇸
Ivan, thank you for showing me all the different automobiles. I enjoyed seeing the Russian And Chinese cars. I was very surprised to learn how expensive American automobiles are in Russia. Ivan, you don’t want a Dodge Ram pickup truck they are junk. For the past 20 years, nothing but trouble they rust out so quickly that the engine and transmission are good but the rest of the truck is Junk. What you want is a Chevy Silverado three-quarter ton. V-8 crew cab. Very dependable you’ll get your money worth out of it.
That was a very nice car dealership. I really liked the vintage Land Cruiser. For your information: A 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV-V costs $163,635 in Arizona. Take care of yourself, don't cause any trouble.
A loaded 2024 Escalade is about $105,000 here in the US. They do depreciate fairly quickly. You can pick up a nice, clean, used, low mileage, 2020 Escalade for $50,000.
One of my girlfriends has that Dodge Ram we went on a 8 hour trip and it was so comfortable it was like sitting in a livingroom!! She ordered hers custom off the line and cost 62,500
Just think about this. That Lincoln is 170,000. Here in Boston I can buy an Audi RS-Q8 for just about 120,000. Let that sink in. I remember when I was living in Vietnam, and because of the import tax on those luxury foreign cars at the time was I believe somewhere between 100%-200% the S63 that my friend had was more than double the price and then some. So instead of 160-180k it was more like 375k. Bonkers.
The price of a new Dodge Ram 1500 varies depending on the trim and options, but the 2024 Ram 1500 starts at $38,750, while the 2025 Ram 1500 starts at $40,275. Super rip-off at that dealership.
Bought a new left over 2022 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi, Big Horn quad cab medium based for $39,900 this past September. This was before Ram started having big discounts months ago.
@@chadhaire1711 do you honestly believe that the elites actually obey the laws as written, and have nothing to hide? Honestly don't tell me you're that naive? Ivan's encounter with the dealership shows that somebody is doing something behind the scenes.
There was nothing "weird" with that dealership. It's a private business and some arrogant kid comes in and starts video recording like he owns the place. Virtually any business in America would react the same way. They're there to run a business and make money for themselves, not be disrupted by some narcissist who thinks he owns the place.
That’s insane, you would think they want people with a following to film their business and what they sell, make or build. People are like that here in the US also. WASN’T EXPECTING THAT ENDING😂
You can Probably go back to that dealership and ask him if you can Film tell him what you are doing. But you have to lay down some cash $50 bucks should get you in the door. But be careful forget it don’t even go back. every one of us knows what’s going on. you did a great job and I enjoyed it and I believe most of your fans did too. Oh loved your vacation. Thanks for taking me with you that was fun. Glad you got your money back from that restaurant. just the expression on your face tells it all.
Or maybe this "dealership" is an fsb honeypot and they merely stopped by to collect their monthly audio video surveillance and list of shoppers and buyers. Theyll run the tapes through facial recognition no doubt.
I love what ever you send us. Happy you got out ok,but pleas be careful there. Won't want to lose you. You are a good Russian,be safe. The basic RAM is $39.420 and the Basic Cadillac Escalade starts at about $81,895. Hopes this helps you.
Those prices are 50-100% higher than in the US. Those vehicles appear to be maxxed out with luxury options. If they weren’t maxxed out then the average mid-level version would a third or a quarter that price in the US.
this is the right answer as all those vehicles were acquired through grey channels, most likely bought from countries in middle east hence why the prices is 2x-3x their original value.
In the U.S. we are all complaining about the high price of trucks and SUVs. A well-optioned pickup truck might cost $70,000 or more. Many of us remember when these were considered work vehicles, and you could get them for closer to $30,000 in the 1990s.
Ivan, I think my neighbor’s stolen pickup truck was in your video. I’m only half kidding. Huge operation for stealing and shipping out vehicles from the US and Canada out of West Coast ports. The “dealership” owner has connections all right!
I had to switch devices ... something just fried my brand new phone I'm a security analyst, at my own company. I contract out. The stuff is going on in the background. Be careful to leave as soon as possible. By the way, dodge is crap anymore since Stalantis bought them out.
"Do you have a problem?" "your gonna have a problem". Hell ya brother. Great to see others in the world still have a spine. With respect, from rural Oregon ,USA.
Ivan, great job for standing up for yourself!. Please stay out of any high-rise buildings especially if you are near the window, I hear in Russia, that some people ACCIDENTALLY fall out of six-story windows. Your face is now very recognizable in Russia,, and. so, driving in RUSSIA may be hazardous to your health you may end up with a bad accident - Courtesy of FSB. Stay safe
I believe you'll find the problem is that every single one of those American cars are stolen. The United States of America is not shipping cars to Russia for sale which means for them to have them there they've been acquired by ill-gotten means
The owner of the place might be upset that viewers from the U.S. will recognize their nearly new stolen car, fresh out of the shipping container, on display.
As far as what kind of videos you should be doing: These. Being the Russian car guy is your groove, as one car guy to another. Your confidence and command of the subject is what makes these dealership walk-arounds so compelling. Your love for cars and automotive culture comes across so genuine and appealing. It's irresistible and has an early days Doug DeMuro energy. Worked out ok for him.
I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I really am blown away by the courage that you and your beautiful partner show in the face of utter insanity. That said, we need to get you to America where you will at least be a hell of a lot safer. Thank you so much for putting these videos out, it's so important that your voice is heard and also that people all over the world can see what daily life is really like in Putin's Russia.
I love watching your films and your journalism is naturally uplifting but I get more and more anxious for you. I'd still watch you if you were filming outside Russia. I'd love to see you outside Russia. Thanx for the great work
The RAM 1500 in Australia range in proce from AUD 120K for a BigHorn through to AUD225K for a TRX. These are drive away prices so include taxes and registration. All RAMs sold in Australia are converted by the importer to right hand drive. Cars have to be over 30 years old before they can be registered still being Left Hand Drive.
In the uk wee can buy new LHD ..but the insurance guys ask questions…” which side is the control side”? So expect $60,000 dollars to be spent there instead..but American postmen drive RHD…to avoid SPLAT on the job.
"I think that they called the coppers - but anyways let's check out the cars real quick". That's true dedication. edit: Maybe he just has a rich uncle. who works for the government.
He ran the tags it's an FSB Agent buying a $125k American Automobile. FSB agents have tons of opportunities to grab people's cash when they are "Busting" some guy that said something critical of the Russian Gov't. Corruption of the highest order.
i`m so confused....the russians always rail against everything from the bad bad west, but everybody love all kind of western stuff, wear Nikes and Levis, or driving BMW`s....why don`t they all drive the famous Lada?
A new Escalade w/ all the goodies including the big powerful V8 660 hp or whatever it is about 145k here in Florida. After one yr it'll sell for about 90k. Buy pre owned Ivan!
Hello Ivan, I came across your video's a few days ago and I have to say I'm pretty amazed at what you're doing. My interests in cars is what probably brought me to your channel. But the inside Russia is also very interesting; its been on my bucket list to travel to Russia and meet the people learn about the culture for many years. Thank you for that and please stay safe.

Hard to talk about prices, when we don't know the exact version of that Escalade, Ivan. In Munich/Ger you need 160k € plus taxes = 200k for the all inclusive 501 kW model.
Honestly these cars aren't for cultured people. These are for the new upper class with plenty amount of money but no good taste. Anyway, respect for your work and courage.

GRRRRREAT video, Ivan. I’m really impressed you know how far you can piss off the FSB and remain free. A lot of your compatriots have gotten in trouble for seemingly a lot less. Best of luck.
The style of how you film and approach people is almost identical to that of Charles Veitch. You really should look him up if you're not familiar with him. You may be able to learn some things from him. He is a master at challenging the rules that people think they know. Thank you, Ivan, for this content.
I agree with you he’s learning he’s a young guy. I don’t think he knows who that guy is but neither do I but I agree with you that he needs to learn little bit more, and if he looks up that person you told him to he might learn something as I’m gonna look them up now I like Ivan he’s a good guy. I hope they don’t grab him and send them to Ukraine
In the US, any company is happy if a popular RUclipsr makes a video about their company. After all, that's a huge amount of free advertising! In the freest country in the world, Russia, the security agency is called. 😂 Get out of there, its not livable anymore.

in Finland, photography is allowed in private shops, but the owner always has the right to choose his customers. therefore, the photographer may be asked to leave.

and you don't have to tell the police what you filmed, show the police what you filmed, and you don't have to delete it even if the police ask you to delete it. police officers may be photographed in a public place.
they just sometimes here get agitated about it and make illegal orders, like telling you to stop filming, and then they get fines in court to pay you.
-
while so, there are added restrictions here, if you film _other_ people _in the middle of a moment with police or medics,_ then you may be violating their privacy if you film _and_ publicize it and dont have their explicit permission to publicize it.
if you don't publicize it, then filming is fine, you are not violating their privacy.
while so, a police officer is in a public place in a public office, and filming is restricted only in exceptional circumstances.
sometimes cops make mistakes over what is "exceptional circumstance" and what is not.
sometimes its " ...which must be assessed separately from the dissemination of the resulting material", like when some outsiders films you when you blow into police alcohol meter and it shows you are drunk. if he publicizes that without your permission, that can be invading privacy, even if on public setting.
but that is only _if_ he publicizes it. filming is still allowed. police does not have direct power to prohibit filming in that situation.
therefore it depends if he is streaming it live, or not, if the filming is a crime, or not.
and filming/voice recording the things that involve yourself with an official is always legal, and you can publicize when it involves yourself, then it has your permission, and you can violate your own privacy as much as you want.
Ivan the FSB trying buy American car and don’t want anyone to know 😂 be careful my Russian friend

You are brave Ivan.. careful
Don't buy that Dodge ram you will kill yourself when is 20,000 mi of motor blows up but no help from Dodge
2024 Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum in America is $110k
That's not the most powerful Cadillac I don't believe. 110k gets you a nicely equipped Escalade but the one w/ 660 hp is more,like 145k.

It seems to be different in Russia. But I guess the manager can kick you out anytime as in every other country
It depends on russian land ownership laws. He does use this excuse often and it seems to work lol. In china for example, you don't actually own property, it's rented for a certain term of years.

This includes shopping malls, shops, restaurants and car dealers showrooms. Ivan is well known for exercising this right. It is a freedom they have in Russia that is not available in most other parts of the world. Long may it continue.
@@davidhartwell4826 Less of a freedom and more of an easy excuse for intrusive government surveillance. Russians expect to be filmed and face scanned every second they are in public, certainly in the cities. If you are filming and witness any corruption or abuse your life is at risk, and since Siberia always has room for another warm body, why would they care what accidents happen to you. At the heart of it, that is the difference. Our governments in the west, whatever their flaws, don't keep the population living in fear.
That is the most wild stuff I've seen in a while lol. Be safe, super bad timing 😳
You did it again Ivan, another informative and entertaining video.
Thank you for giving America's like me the opportunity to see what daily life is like in Russia.
What was informative about this video? Lmao. He literally made things up about "government officials"
buying cars with money they "shouldn't have". Nothing but clickbait nonsense.
Two thumbs up, Ivan. I loved it when that guy got up in your face, and you told him to back off. Those prices for American cars were off the scale. Way too expensive. That black market dealer is making a killing, selling to oligarchs and politicians. Nice vehicles, though.
They are probably shipped to Turkey, and then to Russia.
Wow great video. This car visit was the best. At first I was sad that a place selling American cars gave you the hardest time of all, but then, it actually sounds like it was in honor of some Russian Govt thief wanting a nice cool American car. As an American, I will take that as a compliment. About the EV Hummer. I can't believe you got one there. I haven't seen one in person yet and I actually have an EV (2023 Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition). Nice find. If you ever visit Charlotte, NC, let me know and I will let you test drive my other three cars too, a 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, 2015 BMW M4, and classic 1981 Jeep CJ5 (fully restored).
That price for a Dodge Ram truck is ridiculous. In the States you can get a Ram truck for between $60,000 - 75,000 depending on the model.
The TRX is the absolute loaded one though, like a Raptor.
I think the escalade is $120,000, so they are putting a $60,000 markup on that suv for importation.
The 2024 Cadillac Escalade starts at about $81,895
Правельно.
That model, as equipped, is over $110,000 out the door at any US Cadillac dealership. @@charlesclement383
I am from the USA that Cadillac Escalade is way too expensive.The brand new one that you looked at the black one. Here in my country, you could get that exact vehicle for around a $125,000. So there over charge you my freind. And the dodge ram is about $120,000 Tops in the usa there over charging you for those cars my freind. Your English is Amazing 👏 Great Job I don't like many Russian because of the War but you guys can't call it that for what ever reason. Your pretty chill kid new subscriber here to stay.great video bro much love from the United States of America 🇺🇸
that was pretty ballsy standing up to the fsb. take care and safe travels!
❤
Ivan, thank you for showing me all the different automobiles. I enjoyed seeing the Russian And Chinese cars. I was very surprised to learn how expensive American automobiles are in Russia. Ivan, you don’t want a Dodge Ram pickup truck they are junk. For the past 20 years, nothing but trouble they rust out so quickly that the engine and transmission are good but the rest of the truck is Junk. What you want is a Chevy Silverado three-quarter ton. V-8 crew cab. Very dependable you’ll get your money worth out of it.
Oh Ivan , you rock 👍 even though those people are mad and trying to scare you,you just keep going . Awesome . 👏
That was a very nice car dealership. I really liked the vintage Land Cruiser. For your information: A 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV-V costs $163,635 in Arizona. Take care of yourself, don't cause any trouble.
I love it. You said I’m walking here.
A loaded 2024 Escalade is about $105,000 here in the US. They do depreciate fairly quickly. You can pick up a nice, clean, used, low mileage, 2020 Escalade for $50,000.
One of my girlfriends has that Dodge Ram we went on a 8 hour trip and it was so comfortable it was like sitting in a livingroom!! She ordered hers custom off the line and cost 62,500
Just think about this. That Lincoln is 170,000. Here in Boston I can buy an Audi RS-Q8 for just about 120,000. Let that sink in. I remember when I was living in Vietnam, and because of the import tax on those luxury foreign cars at the time was I believe somewhere between 100%-200% the S63 that my friend had was more than double the price and then some. So instead of 160-180k it was more like 375k. Bonkers.
The price of a new Dodge Ram 1500 varies depending on the trim and options, but the 2024 Ram 1500 starts at $38,750, while the 2025 Ram 1500 starts at $40,275.
Super rip-off at that dealership.
Там половина стоимости таможня, утилизационный сбор, доставка...
😂 WHERE??????
It’s so expensive because essentially it’s black market with all the sanctions.
Russian prices reflect paying several middle men on the circuitous route to get the vehicle to Russia....can you say sanctions?
В России жутко дорогие тачки и жутко дешёвое все остальное.
That $180,000 Escalade, here in Detroit, is about $100,000. Love your channel
Carrying charges. My question is parts and service.
Great job standing up for your rights. You weren't hurting nothing by filming those cars.
Like they give a damn. It’s not like they won’t just get rid of anyone causing trouble.
The business owners were exercising their rights of personal property.
There re no rights in russia
It was private property. If someone is on my land photographing things and I don't want them there, they're not going to be doing it.
I don't know what his rights are. I don't think he cares either. That's called i don't give a F*ck. SIR
Bought a new left over 2022 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi, Big Horn quad cab medium based for $39,900 this past September. This was before Ram started having big discounts months ago.
Ivan, you're correct something weird with that dealership
The dealership is probably a bit of a front and has a 'relationship' with people in power (FSB) - that is how it worked in the good old days!
@@chadhaire1711 do you honestly believe that the elites actually obey the laws as written, and have nothing to hide? Honestly don't tell me you're that naive? Ivan's encounter with the dealership shows that somebody is doing something behind the scenes.
There was nothing "weird" with that dealership. It's a private business and some arrogant kid comes in and starts video recording like he owns the place. Virtually any business in America would react the same way. They're there to run a business and make money for themselves, not be disrupted by some narcissist who thinks he owns the place.
You have enormous balls. Dont end up in a bad situation.
Or extremally small brain.
That’s insane, you would think they want people with a following to film their business and what they sell, make or build. People are like that here in the US also. WASN’T EXPECTING THAT ENDING😂
102k in my city (Knoxville, TN, USA) for a 2024 but the more reasonable buy would be an older one for 36k that's still very nice
Instead of the smell of shoes it smells like burgers. AMUUUUUURRICAAA!!!
Dodge ram is pretty expensive in Sweden even old ones.
You can Probably go back to that dealership and ask him if you can Film tell him what you are doing. But you have to lay down some cash $50 bucks should get you in the door. But be careful forget it don’t even go back. every one of us knows what’s going on. you did a great job and I enjoyed it and I believe most of your fans did too. Oh loved your vacation. Thanks for taking me with you that was fun. Glad you got your money back from that restaurant. just the expression on your face tells it all.
You’re very brave Ivan
He is little nazi
lol
Or reckless ha ha
If I spoke to MI6 like that , I’d expect to be taken into the investigation room..
Maybe Ivan is winding us up and he was really talking to the Valet apprentice.
A brand new 2024,Cadillac Escalade ESV-V with everything in it and the 6.2l V8 costs around $163,000, plus tax and dealership fees.
Over 100k for a dodge ram? They can’t even sell them here for 40 lol
A 2024 Dodge Ram 1500 would cost anywhere from 40 to 60,000 depending on version trim an options they usually start around 40
Cars are from Canada, one lifted off of drives every 2 minutes.
was thinking that too
@@jamesglasbergen7506 No wonder the staff are paranoid.
HEY ... you leave my 2023 Toyota alone you hear?
lol
GET OUT NOW!!! ASAP!!! LOVE YA MY BROTHER!
Or maybe this "dealership" is an fsb honeypot and they merely stopped by to collect their monthly audio video surveillance and list of shoppers and buyers. Theyll run the tapes through facial recognition no doubt.
I love what ever you send us. Happy you got out ok,but pleas be careful there. Won't want to lose you. You are a good Russian,be safe. The basic RAM is $39.420 and the Basic Cadillac Escalade starts at about $81,895. Hopes this helps you.
I wonder if these cars are stolen. It's pretty common for gangs to steal American cars and ship them overseas.
Great video, Ivan and Evalina. You guys need to come car shopping in the US. Much love. 💖
Maybe a vidio on custom car clubs, hot rods and custom car mechanic garages !
Really enjoying your content!
We need to nominate you for some journalism award with that reporting! :)
Scotty Killmer said,US cars are pure garbage!
Do they have car dealerships in Siberia?
@@luckyguy600 really?that uninformed?
A video about car dealerships in Russia that is not about car dealerships in Russia. Well done, my friend. Спасибо.
You are a legend my brother!
Those prices are 50-100% higher than in the US. Those vehicles appear to be maxxed out with luxury options. If they weren’t maxxed out then the average mid-level version would a third or a quarter that price in the US.
I'm guessing that they didn't want video evidence of all the vehicals they shouldn't have because of the sanctions.
this is the right answer as all those vehicles were acquired through grey channels, most likely bought from countries in middle east hence why the prices is 2x-3x their original value.
In the U.S. we are all complaining about the high price of trucks and SUVs. A well-optioned pickup truck might cost $70,000 or more. Many of us remember when these were considered work vehicles, and you could get them for closer to $30,000 in the 1990s.
Those vehicles are half that price in usd in usa. Exchange rate is strange.
look up import tariffs
Ivan, I think my neighbor’s stolen pickup truck was in your video. I’m only half kidding. Huge operation for stealing and shipping out vehicles from the US and Canada out of West Coast ports. The “dealership” owner has connections all right!
I had to switch devices ... something just fried my brand new phone I'm a security analyst, at my own company. I contract out. The stuff is going on in the background. Be careful to leave as soon as possible. By the way, dodge is crap anymore since Stalantis bought them out.
Yep true about Dodge.
Definitely take your meds though
"Do you have a problem?" "your gonna have a problem". Hell ya brother. Great to see others in the world still have a spine. With respect, from rural Oregon ,USA.
Ivan, great job for standing up for yourself!. Please stay out of any high-rise buildings especially if you are near the window, I hear in Russia, that some people ACCIDENTALLY fall out of six-story windows. Your face is now very recognizable in Russia,, and. so, driving in RUSSIA may be hazardous to your health you may end up with a bad accident - Courtesy of FSB. Stay safe
I believe you'll find the problem is that every single one of those American cars are stolen. The United States of America is not shipping cars to Russia for sale which means for them to have them there they've been acquired by ill-gotten means
The owner of the place might be upset that viewers from the U.S. will recognize their nearly new stolen car, fresh out of the shipping container, on display.
As far as what kind of videos you should be doing: These. Being the Russian car guy is your groove, as one car guy to another. Your confidence and command of the subject is what makes these dealership walk-arounds so compelling. Your love for cars and automotive culture comes across so genuine and appealing. It's irresistible and has an early days Doug DeMuro energy. Worked out ok for him.
Thank you for what you are doing!
Scotty Killmer said,US cars are pure garbage!
I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I really am blown away by the courage that you and your beautiful partner show in the face of utter insanity. That said, we need to get you to America where you will at least be a hell of a lot safer. Thank you so much for putting these videos out, it's so important that your voice is heard and also that people all over the world can see what daily life is really like in Putin's Russia.
Much love to you both from Pittsburgh, PA.. ❤️
I love watching your films and your journalism is naturally uplifting but I get more and more anxious for you. I'd still watch you if you were filming outside Russia. I'd love to see you outside Russia.
Thanx for the great work
The RAM 1500 in Australia range in proce from AUD 120K for a BigHorn through to AUD225K for a TRX. These are drive away prices so include taxes and registration. All RAMs sold in Australia are converted by the importer to right hand drive. Cars have to be over 30 years old before they can be registered still being Left Hand Drive.
In the uk wee can buy new LHD ..but the insurance guys ask questions…” which side is the control side”? So expect $60,000 dollars to be spent there instead..but American postmen drive RHD…to avoid SPLAT on the job.
This navigor is cheap here in Nashville
I saw an Englishman in the uk driving a Navvi the other day….god only knows how he can afford to run it at £1,55p per Litre…
You Are such a good boy Ivan. You remind me so much of a younger me. Stay true to yourself and take Care. Much love here from Denmark
"I think that they called the coppers - but anyways let's check out the cars real quick". That's true dedication.
edit: Maybe he just has a rich uncle. who works for the government.
He ran the tags it's an FSB Agent buying a $125k American Automobile. FSB agents have tons of opportunities to grab people's cash when they are "Busting" some guy that said something critical of the Russian Gov't. Corruption of the highest order.
i`m so confused....the russians always rail against everything from the bad bad west, but everybody love all kind of western stuff, wear Nikes and Levis, or driving BMW`s....why don`t they all drive the famous Lada?
You are lucky to have a brave Evalina always with you.
Evalina ❤❤❤
Dodge ram about 40 thousand in New York State in America.
Thanks! Awesome work Ivan and great content!
WOW thank you very much! Really appreciated, glad you enjoy the content!
A new Escalade w/ all the goodies including the big powerful V8 660 hp or whatever it is about 145k here in Florida. After one yr it'll sell for about 90k. Buy pre owned Ivan!
Wow I felt scared ...............well done young man . God Bless and be careful . Hello from Dublin .
From Dublin and felt scared !!!
Hello Ivan, I came across your video's a few days ago and I have to say I'm pretty amazed at what you're doing. My interests in cars is what probably brought me to your channel. But the inside Russia is also very interesting; its been on my bucket list to travel to Russia and meet the people learn about the culture for many years. Thank you for that and please stay safe.
Come to America.
and see what is failed state?
I think he needs to consider his position and have an exit strategy after this just an opinion . Regards
@@vrado441 what are you saying America is a fail state? If you don't mind what country you are from?

Hard to talk about prices, when we don't know the exact version of that Escalade, Ivan.
In Munich/Ger you need 160k € plus taxes = 200k for the all inclusive 501 kW model.
Honestly these cars aren't for cultured people. These are for the new upper class with plenty amount of money but no good taste. Anyway, respect for your work and courage.
I guess your old money and 'cultured'? 😂

Cadillac Escalade is about $81-$155K. in the US.
The owner is laundering money through car sales. Dodge Ram is 45,000 to $65,000 us dollars
Domestic (US) cars are sitting on dealership lots collecting dust in the US. Especially Rams. They do not sell well and their resale value suck.
@@TruthBeTold121212GM as a whole still builds over a million pickups a year, as does Ford. The only number I can find for Dodge is 440k for 2023.
@TruthBeTold121212
I would do more research if I were you. Ram and the entire Stellantis brand with their overpriced vehicles aren’t doing well.
Lovely the way you use the word "flippin".
Oligarchs can afford that stuff…are you an oligarch Ivan ?
With the way things are going in Russia, his car will be worth a million dollars by next year.
Oligarchs drive Bentleys and rolls royses and maybe Maybachs . Not american cars for sure
In America,Cadillac Escalade usually starts at $80,000 brand new,and used $60,000.
GRRRRREAT video, Ivan. I’m really impressed you know how far you can piss off the FSB and remain free. A lot of your compatriots have gotten in trouble for seemingly a lot less. Best of luck.
The style of how you film and approach people is almost identical to that of Charles Veitch. You really should look him up if you're not familiar with him. You may be able to learn some things from him. He is a master at challenging the rules that people think they know. Thank you, Ivan, for this content.
I agree with you he’s learning he’s a young guy. I don’t think he knows who that guy is but neither do I but I agree with you that he needs to learn little bit more, and if he looks up that person you told him to he might learn something as I’m gonna look them up now I like Ivan he’s a good guy. I hope they don’t grab him and send them to Ukraine
In the US, any company is happy if a popular RUclipsr makes a video about their company. After all, that's a huge amount of free advertising!
