How many times are you going to give us this tired, old, boring, speech about tax season? Give it up. We’re sick of it.
@@timvirginia6327 then don't watch
I’ve been doing flipping from home for a little over a year .. from home I’m able to sell up to 13 cars a month
That’s from Copart through a broker, I can only imagine when I get my dealer license and I’m able to offer financing that will open amazing doors for me
God bless you man !!! 🙏
@@timvirginia6327 sounds like someone who can't seem to capitalize on tax season is mad. Waaaaahhhhhh! Poor lil baby.
and the 100k from fripfor a ferrari?
Enjoyed the video. It's also nice when you explain the simple business steps. The first thing is savings. Sadly it's not really in the curriculum. You may want to have the mechanic Dave show some of the problems and how to detect. Like the coolant leak. Thanks.
Craig I have to say I love hearing your father talk! He should start his own channel! He is so knowledgeable, I love his outlook on the mecum auction! Enjoy your time with him, and buy him a 70 T/A 455 add!!!
Thank you I agree, Craig buy me that 70 T/A!!! haha
@@kevinstowell498 where is this magical 1970 T/A with a 455 ? Never was an option for the 1970 model
Awesome video as always! My favorite auto RUclips channel!
Great to see someone rise up and be successful!
I own an RV dealership and tax season used to be a big deal the biggest time of the year for me that along with the first few weeks before summer but honestly since Covid it really isn’t anymore it don’t matter what time it is stuff just moves at a rapid pace winter summer fall Christmas easter no matter what if I got it and it’s priced right it’s gone within 72 hours a week if it’s a super high dollar unit everyone is preaching doom and gloom for the economy and maybe that’s true but it hasn’t shown up for me yet I’m fresh off a week of selling 3 diesel pushers for a 5 figure profit on each one
You going for the record of the longest sentence?
@@jeanducheamps7697 no I just have better things to do with my life then treat RUclips comments like an English exam
Not everyone bought their Telluride for way over MSRP. I bought mine in October 2021, paid MSRP. Yes, the dealer wasn't local, The local guy was charging $10K to $15K over MSRPs, depending on model. I got my 2022 SX AWD NF for MSRP by shopping around and being patient. Paying too much is a choice.
I think most people forget if the bank takes the vehicle back and takes a dumper, they take that dumper balance and hit the purchaser back as taxable income. You don't just walk away thinking you're good to go.
great info , great video, love the editting and pace of the content . and the bonus cameo of Papa AL the great! auction days and revealing how you brought an ugly duck back to life , definitely my favorite!
School bus: I met a ton of people online and when I was travelling and we all got together in Cinci and the host in that city drove a school bus. She was the DD and picked us all up in a big yellow school bus. Keep your limo and stretched hummer, a school bus was a riot.....and yes, she had a wooden ruler if we got outta hand lol....
"I can tell they were married"
I've been married for 16 years. In that time I've put over 500,000km on the 5 cars I've owned. None of them have had a mangled steering wheel like that! My Evo X I bought new and sold at 210,000km and the steering wheel was like new.
That person wasn't married, that person was hard on their gear!
Hey Craig. Love you channel and you have inspired me to try and get into the car flipping business (and eventually a dealership). However, I'm just a bit bummed that i have NONE of the start up/funding options you mentioned. No friends/family to borrow from/partner with, No start up capital, No line of credit anywhere, NO credit card options, nothing to leverage with etc etc etc. Im down and out, retrenched/ unemployed for 3yrs and almost zero support. Im basically the handicapped guy thats given a pedal powered wheelchair! Are the odds against me.....most definitely!!! Am i gonna quit...nope. Somehow...someway.....im going to make it! Thanks again for the inspirational and entertaining vids. Keep up the great work!
No timing belt on the WRX - chain once they went to the FA20 engine.
This was a great video. I was entertained and educated the whole time
Informative, fun and entertaining. Thanks Craig love your videos and your family your a very lucky man.
Great video really informative on the backside of the business. I also like that you don’t use credit/floor plan to fund your inventory and run your business. Great job your business will continue to grow with how you run it.
Great content. Motivates me to purchase my next (inexpensive personal) car before April and then sell my (too big for the driveway) Tahoe after the 1st week of April.
A car can absolutely overheat without the gauge showing it if the coolant is low or empty.
Great video you’re very helpful and informative and don’t try to hide anything. I’m waiting on my license to come in. Recently moved back to Texas and going into the car bizz. Dumping a lot of money into it, would like to hear more from you on floor planning or a line of credit. The good and the bad of it. Thinking that might be a good move for me starting out until I have enough personal capital to go to auction and buy cash
I just picked up an 08 BMW 128i convertible for 1800. The car was in very nice condition until the owners son crashed it.
Deployed the drivers airbags. Tripped the anti roll bars out back. Took out the core support, radiator, and AC Condenser.
I went to a U Pull it. Grabbed the entire core support, rad, ac condenser, and everything else needed for only 515. Including the airbags!
The reason why this cars such a home run is the following.
1- owner paid for the other vehicles car in cash to avoid going through insurance.
Therefore its a clean title car. And the accident is not listed on carfax.
2- i own a body shop. A repair like this is an easy 2 weeks start to finish.
The car retails for 11k all day. Its white, light gray interior, black vinyl top. Interior has no rips.
I lost my parents young I really wanna do what you do and I love watching your videos they make my day 🙌🏻
Craig you are such a great car guy. I know did the same.myou really care about your customers. The government has messed up the tax seasons. Why can they let good things alone. You are Sharp.
Craig you are amazing. Your energy level is wonderful I am a 70 year old Wholesaler I run about five to seven cars a week at Mannheim California even at my age every time I watch your blog, I learn something thank you you are the greatest
Thank you
Hey Frank, hoping you could share some wisdom on how to be successful as a wholesaler. I’m currently a retail dealer in Tennessee. Thanks!
Just my $.02 DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, borrow money from friends or family… cost me 2 very good friends., or what I thought were good friends, expensive lesson learned and when it all shook out I’m better off without the borrowers in my life it’s the fallout from mutual acquaintances.
Great video! Loads of information and super helpful.
Let’s get drunk, have a drink every time Craig said “tax season”
I can't drink "that much" anymore! Too old.
☠️
I've got a son in the car business. Every other word out his mouth is "tax season". He loves the income tax and withholding. Says it's the best thing government ever did.
The 2017 Renegade, unfortunately, is designed & built by Fiat. That doesn't mean it's not a good buy/sell option but I'd never buy anything from the Chrysler/Fiat era. Get an older one that's been looked after, friends! You won't be sorry.
The eclipse is 09-12 (not 05) because of that front bumper, I own a 09. Was my first car, still driving strong almost 5 years later
Try liquid laundry detergent diluted 32:1 like gain or tide liquid with bleach for carpet and seats ! You will love the results.
I am a dealer in Ct. and see first hand everything you are describing, you are a very smart dealer nice work
Around 10:30 reminded me of how I overpaid for my Scion, but fortunately it's a Toyota, and it'll probably outlive me so I don't really mind that I paid so much for it
you’re my inspiration craig. im getting my license soon and hope to be as successful as you. thanks for the tips you’re a good man.
I love reading this stuff. Good luck and thank you
10,400 for a WRX you got a steal!!!
I buy, repair and sell computers as a side gig. I work very similarly. it's a lot of risk because the market is so volatile. People are always looking for a $100 - $150 dollar kick around though so a lot of what I sell is used business laptops. Things like Thinkpads and Latitudes. I'll buy them by the pallets, clean them up add storage devices, add ram and install windows and flip them. Anything I can't sell as a whole I keep for parts for another. It's definitely a numbers game with an end goal of profit and above all happy customers. I get to take another man's junk for a few bucks to another's prized possession. It's risky nut fun. It's especially fun when I make a decent profit and a long term customer.
The Flex Ecoboost is a Taurus SHO wagon. Very tuneable. SHO parts usually bolt on. Re, WRX... I'd price it as is. If a buyer asks about the timing belt, I'd offer to do it at cost.
@Disposable Dad read my comment again... Slowly this time.
Great video- thank you Craig for your wisdom and practical advice.
Great video series..
I'm a car enthusiast as well..
How do you handle other bidders at the auctions?
Personally. I don't like auctions when buying..
However. When selling it's toleratedble..
I guess you have to have 5 - 6 potential vehicles to bid on and hope no one out bids you..
Any tips are welcome.. thanks!
Just got a Tesla Model 3 LR. Looking forward to you finally getting a Tesla to see what you think. I like it a lot more than I thought I would.
If near 100k. We always change the timing belt tensioner and water pump, most likely I will finance the vehicle in house and it needs to be reliable for the next 2 years
Hell ya on the 2000 avalon. Thats a gem, easy money.
They will use their tax refund to buy heating oil and food . Not a used car !
Really apprciate how you started from very little and have bootstrapped your way to great success that you own and control. Kudos to you Craig!
Thank you!
The Mitsubishi has a CVT transmission
Luckily that WRX is a chain motor so you don't have to worry about replacing the timing belt lol. I made my business on fixing and selling Subaru's that customers would trade in.
2015 WRX has a timing chain, not a belt. Subarus are more reliable after 2013-2015 depending on model. No longer have head gasket issues as a common occurrence.
When u said the Escalade was smoking and not overheating. The first thing I thought of was the heater inlet hose
Smart business man Craig 👊🏼
Tax season will be a dud this year.
Inspect the belt and reassure the person buying the car that it was replaced if it looks new
Great advice. Every time I sold Subaru I made sure it is done. Extra assurance
Craig do a video on what exact months you buy these cars
This is the samething I do for tax time! We should do a video together talking about tax time. Love your channel!
I know this is an older video but I enjoy watching these auction videos and showing what you decide will sell and what doesn’t. The different issues with various models to absolutely avoid. I’ve been looking around for a used pickup in good shape for a decent price, like the silver 2015 Chevy 1500 and the Ram Big Horn, and would be a cash buyer. Unfortunately it seems like being a cash buyer is a serious turn off, and having a buyer who finances is more desirable by what is mentioned in these videos. There must be more insensitive and profit for the dealer when financing is involved. The 2015 looks nice, I’m a bigger guy and there’s plenty of room behind the wheel in this truck, I see that it has a new transmission which also offers peace of mind as that is a known issue over 100k. Have always enjoyed the channel and the behind the scenes of owning a smaller used car dealership
Just so you know: that Flex is not the EcoBoost model, because the tailpipes are both on one side. The EcoBoost models have one exhaust pipe on each side.
So, I am obsessed with the Flex, in case you didn't notice.
When they blow white smoke like crazy on the turbo models, is that usually bad turbos, or something else?
Good info. Thx
@@mph5896 Mines been blowing some white smoke but once we replaced the O2 sensors it got better. Still producing a bit of white smoke, but it's also throwing a code for the EVAP purge valve. So we need to replace that.
Love the style of the flex. Now that there are used flexes on the market, wondering if they are mechanically reliable.
@@neilabernath5862 I've had mine from 70k to almost 170k now. The big thing is the water pump The water pumps are likely to fail, that's a bit of a big cost (about $3-5k iirc) and tends to go near 100k miles. Other than that, quite reliable! We did the O2 sensors recently because it was throwing a code, and oil changes.
Mine is the Ecoboost, so it might be different on the N/A one. Ymmv.
Fa20 wrx are timing chain, the cam timing sprockets break on them its pretty common
Don't sell crap cars !!! You do well Bro.. Make them nice and well sortied.. People will come back, !!
I normally enjoy your videos Craig but I really enjoyed this one
What you said about family support is the biggest advantage anyone can have.
I'm eternally grateful to my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles
Agree on selling toyota can be a headache. Tons of east indian and black people offering half price
Craig, take it from a fellow dealer... There's not going to be a big tax season bump this year. Most refunds are down by over 70% this year. The government reduced withholding so people aren't getting big refunds. My refund was $120 this year. Many of my friends are getting less than $200, some even owed money.
Get a better accountant.
Heard on CNBC this morning that Texas has received more snow this winter than New England!
Probably, I'm in Southern New Hampshire and there is no snow on the ground
Great video Craig! appreciate the information.
Great video I learn so much from you thank you much appreciate it
On the subaru it'd be better to have the 1k spent to have the work done by you so another shop doesn't mess the job up and potentially charge 1500 and over charge
i sold my Corvette by the thing I learned from you craig, i got what many said i couldn't get for it, Now i got to flip the 2 nissan sentra ser's
28:10 glad the cash visa cheque worked out...what was the interest rate if you didn't pay it off in time? 33%? I'm not saying people shouldn't gamble, but yeah, for every guy like you thought bought and succeeded there's 10 who fell on their face buying a POS car and not being able to sell it.
You have to take risks to get the reward.......
Hey curious, did you ever tell
The channel what your choice was on your lake house? Rented out, sitting empty, and the third option I can’t remember? Love that you own all of your cars. Love the channel
Air bnb currently
Good old aane wass there Thurs night picking up cars
Do you have any stories or knowledge of where auto dealers are sued or held liable for a car accident from a car they sold?
Com8ng soon
Can't have the homie broke lol
wow. Thank you! @Borlande
what's everyone's opinion about possible crash in car prices in the next 6 months or so
Vans Vans Vans and more Vans are the money makers and maybe a couple ford taurus vehicles are the best tax time cars in my opinion.
I think your last camera had a better focus, just saying. Good advice though Craig. PS: modern AUDI's are euro-money pits.
I just bought 4cars from the auction and I’m also broke. Seriously 😢
Fantastic informative video as always
id fix the timing and water pump, 1k to make it more reliable and potentially prevent an upset customer is going to pay off by word of mouth traffic. Especially if you mention on the listing that you took care of it shows you are thinking of these issues ahead of time etc.
Ugh bought my girlfriend a 2017 Jeep renegade like 2 years ago, paid 20K. But had 80K miles on it. I tried and tried to warn her not to get it. But she's stuck cause that's KBB value on it right now. But she hates it. Friggin women. She drove it for hours (and others) and ultimately picked it even though i warned her. So now she can walk before i get her another car.
Fix the belt , if you make the same money no matter then do it! its worth the good reputation that can add to an already good rep, hopefully. You telling me you fixed something tells me it wasnt just put on the lot.
I love your video's and been watching for over 3 years and i learned so much
you teach truth. when you have the floorplan, do you give it a fixed time before you put the car back in the auction? how was this year tax time? i flipped a few but didn't see much bump.
Ford flex had a rental once wow what a car just don’t look at it outside but so fast and smooth ride
I love ford flex. I'm s flex fan, they are timeless
People aren't going to get the tax returns they're expecting you might be left holding onto them
I really like my gasoline vehicles. Especially for utility vehicles. How do you make them battery and also dependable in extreme environments?
Great video as always, Greg I remember in one of your last videos you ones had a dealers license in the state of florida my question is do you know if you can get a dealers plate for transport with a wholesale license in Florida? Thank you for your time👍🏻
You cannot
New camera is nice
Interested to see if tax season will go as predicted…A lot of people thinking it’s going to be weak this year
Everyone has thought the same thing for the last 4 years
Really good video. A ton of useful info.
In the current price decline environment, did you still save money pre buying all your tax cars versus buying now, when the prices are falling?
I own some for too much
multi generation dealer owners , definitely gave you a heads up on your start in the beginning
All me my friend. I had no dealer help
@@FlyingWheels i thought you said your father and grandfather where both dealers?in older videos
Your guy from Turkey should come to Mexico and buy a new Dodge Neon, which is made in Turkey. He will feel right at home.
Audi makes great looking vehicles, but as far as ease of working on them, not so much. The WRX Hopefully isn't hiding anything bad.
I’ve noticed parents buy Nissan Rogues for their HS/college kids
My Audi sucked! Everything was $1500! And expensive too fox! My Acura has been great!
better to do the timing belt less chance of the car having issues and the customer coming back mad even though its not ur fault just save you the headache
Great channel enjoyed so much
Thank you!
Eventually, it'll come full circle and tax season will be the best time to buy tax season cars because people are prepping one year before tax season for tax season
Gotta be careful with cars that don't overheat, could be out of coolant
Hey Craig, great video… Very informative, thank you! Question, are you buying less from ACV AUCTIONS? Do you see a big difference in prices/vehicles quality between ACV and other auctions? Thanks!
I do but not often
Craig, since no sales tax is charged in NH, are you more flexible with out-of-state buyers, knowing they’ll have to pay tax once they register in their home state? I ask because I live in Maine and was thinking of buying a car soon…
I am not. Your state sales tax is between you and your state.
Thank you for your words of knowledge.
Good info!
