The one and only time I had a car repossessed the tow company was very professional and polite. I also didn't freak out and throw a tantrum like a lot of people so 🤷😂
My parents were going through bankruptcy around 2008 when their business failed, and a repo company came out and repoed my dad's moped on his birthday. I'll always remember how bad the repo lady felt for having to repo it on the night of his birthday
Wow. Hats off to Mr. Rose with the last story. Most people in this world we live in that have the means to do that most likely wouldnt. You my friend are a class act. And i am sure you werent expecting getting that call years later vindicating your decision to help her. Cant imagine how good that must have felt.
I don't know what year you repo'd the American Flag Vector, but back in 2006 or so I bid on that car at a US Marshal's auction in Canal Fulton, OH, along with the yellow one. Crazy for those cars to be at a podunk little auction in small town Ohio.
I grew up doing repo work on Long Island for Tom Gouldsberry. I’ll never forget the contract we did to repo all of Dave EL limousines fleet from the waterfront in manhattan. We had to physically drag all the drivers out of their limousines as they were reporting in for work. Total bedlam. We were called executive recovery. These drivers fought us like caged tigers. Crazy job. It could be a whole vin wiki episode. Crazy job. Oh the stories I could tell!!! Side note. RIP in rob rabbit pitts. Sorely missed. One of my heroes. Still mourning his loss. Prayers to all the repo agents out there.
The guy R*ping a UNDERCOVER NYPD and fleeing the country is WILD! How do you make bond with that kinda charge and aren’t charged and put under the jail immediately?
The best and most lasting form of charity is the personal one-on-one form of charity. The giver knows intimately what their effort goes for and the recipient feels the need to live up to the charity. Notice how he didn't just give her money, he got her out of immediate trouble by getting her the room, then gave her the opportunity to pick up the rest herself, by getting her the job. If he had just given money to her, I doubt there would have been the same outcome.
Had friend that worked on the repo business he changed careers recently he said the amount of horrible stuff you have to see or deal with was not worth it
When the Repo guys show up at the dealership I work at, I confirm the VIN and give them the keys. I walk them to the car 100% of the time. I love it though. It's their car now. I have an open spot to park another. Repos are my favorite. No hassle, paperwork is there. I love repos
What a nice and cool guy. Most of the people in the repo industry are good people, but this gentleman stands above. He fits in well with the VinWiki community. Within the repo industry most of the people are great , but unfortunately the bad ones cast a really large and dark shadow on the rest of the industry. This man is a great representative though, and I hope his light can shine on. That may sound corny, but I am fibe with that.
After finding out Bridgestone is going to be a vinWiki sponsor.. Ed: "Hey could you make me a high speed tire for my Veyrone?" Bridgestone: "Unfortunately, we only make high speed tires for a *Veyron."*
I really hate when people CAN pay their bills but DON'T because they're cheap, or sneaky or think you only pay up when the lights are about to get shut off or some guys are coming.
As a j body nerd, they appear to be 91-94 cavalier sedan tail lights. I probably have a set in my stash somewhere lol. Bought, fixed and sold so many of those things back in the day and never lost money on one lol
Last story is the best story.
He got the car, got the woman and her kids into a safe place and helped her get her life back on track. That's about as win-win as it gets
100% a good dude all the way around. Got business done but not at someone else's expense. Went WAY above and beyond.
I agree. He is amazing and pure
What an amazing guy
He had sex with her
“Hey guys, thanks for bringing back the yacht with a full tank, let me buy you dinner.” 😂
$30,000 to fill it up!
Yeah no wonder he was elated to see them lol 30k of fuel ⛽️
Free gas!!!!
The much bigger yachts can take $400,000 worth of fuel in one fill up.
No matter how rich you are, free fuel is free fuel.
Repo man with moral integrity, and in NYC to boot!
Great story man. Everyone who hears your story about the mom & kids will tear up.
I wish these were longer form. I love car stories like this.
Seth is awesome. So glad to have had the chance to hear his stories.
Bless you Seth for showing a little Grace and charity to another human. You can never go wrong doing God's work.
Seriously, they don’t have any friends that aren’t assholes
Hard to imagine a repo man being so charitable. Incredible story--good guy!
As a former Lotus Esprit owner, I was tickled pink to hear a Lotus story!
He is the exception for sure.

You are a good man for changing her life. God bless you brother.
I actually feel bad for the vector guy, he just wanted his car fixed 😢
Same
He should probably have paid for it then
@MustangGT4 my 86 is broken and I've stopped paying for it
@ excited to watch the “wHy did ThEY taKe My CaR?!” video on your channel!
@@MustangGT4 if its on lease you don't pay for repairs...
The last story makes everything else worth while. I love when good people tell stories.
the last story is truly inspirational and heart melting. God Bless

The repo bussines is like septic pumping, is a dirty bussiness, but it makes good money😂😂😂
Always enjoy seeing Seth videos to start the day. Thanks everyone for the best content. Have a great day!

Great episode! More of this guy!
The last story is proof that there's still some good rich guys out there, it's nice to see people with money using it to help someone else.
A man who helps people explicitly homeless woman with kids deserves a big yeaght. What a cool guy
Props to this gentleman and his team. Props to VinWiki for having him. I enjoyed this one.
You're a good man, bless you.
You could tell he didn’t really wanna tell the last story. But, I’m so glad he did. Maybe it will inspire someone else to do the same. How cool!
Had friend that worked on the repo business he changed careers recently he said the amount of horrible stuff you have to see or deal with was not worth it
Finally a great story. Major shoutouts to this guy wow
Seth! We love Seth!
I had my truck stolen by a bank error. No apology but they did steal some stuff and charge me $500.
A billionaire mega yacht owner is just someone you don’t want to have problems with lol
BS should have sued his ass off
Great stories, especially the last one. These are the people we want to hear stories from.
repo man with integrity. very rare
The last story is in fact THE BEST story!
More like this guy. That last story was awesome.
Hard working,down to earth, takes no shit... RESPECT...
Stand up guy. We need more people like this guy
A truly good man with some exciting stories.
ok 2 storys this week that made me choke up! dang you Ed! thank you. bet hes got 100’s of these
Can't go wrong with repo stories. Always entertaining.
I'm a service manager at Firestone and those a/t ascents are sweet we just got a bunch of them
Also our nationwide sale starts today and runs through Sunday

It’s some good to know that there’s still good people in the world
Seth has the best stories.
Amazing stuff here
Great stories
I'm just hit the thumbs up for the last story
this was a great video, very good story teller
Why aren’t you viral yet?!
2 million subs...?
bot
More stories like the last one would be great
Dang, he had his family bail him out for 200k, then took off and left them owing the entire 2 mill.
Awesome! Your a gem!!
The story at the end made it
Is vinwiki back. First good story in years. And it was a good story. Great example of being a responsible business man
Great stories!
Ed needs to find and buy that Countach
7 doesn't sound that bad honestly, I would have guessed more tbh. Seems pretty safe job overall!
I was working at Blinder Robinson, and we took Vector public. Unfortunately, Jerry blew the money and never really made the cars. What a chitshow!
Ed Bolan: I have a Black and Gold Countach that I need to shrewdly negotiate in NYC.
Ps the body builder def Salina like Dave Polumbo
The picture you showed was a Dodge magnum, not a cargo van WinStar
Cool stories
Thank you for going after the deadbeats to make credit easier for the rest of us
Title fooled me, I was expecting to hear about the 1984 movie with that name
Why did somebody just start cutting onions at the last of that video?
Love this - what a great guy !!! You hear such awful things about repo and there there’s this guy - great story !!!
After finding out Bridgestone is going to be a vinWiki sponsor..
Ed: "Hey could you make me a high speed tire for my Veyrone?"
Bridgestone: "Unfortunately, we only make high speed tires for a *Veyron."*
Yall better go get that countach
For being a professional repossessor dude has a good heart!
I really hate when people CAN pay their bills but DON'T because they're cheap, or sneaky or think you only pay up when the lights are about to get shut off or some guys are coming.
Robert mercer. 8:45.
If anyone wants to know more about Robert Mercer, Jane Mayer wrote a book about him. RUclips has Interviews with her about it
I wonder how much the NYPD want for that Lambo
Does anyone else stop watching VinWiki for a month just so they can binge watch all of that month's episodes? Or just me?
Wonder how much he rewarded the honest employee who alerted him to the 130k machine 🤔
That's a stand up guy right there
7:45 the most crazy part is that you Americans have urns in your home with dead relatives.
Thats a good man!
Did Vector use Chevy Cavalier sedan taillights on their car???
As a j body nerd, they appear to be 91-94 cavalier sedan tail lights. I probably have a set in my stash somewhere lol. Bought, fixed and sold so many of those things back in the day and never lost money on one lol
I feel like RepoNut woukd have been on VinWiki before he went odf the deep end.
Repo and valet stories crack me up. 😅
"Repo man's always intense!"
Imagine being wined and dined for a mistaken repo being returned due to a banking error?
Cool storys
Awesomeness
I guess if you're rich enough, you can just forget to pay for your helicopter or yacht. crazy.
Dude forced himself on a undo and got bail 😭 that’s the most American thing I ever heard
Niiiice !👍
What a guy
Weird, thought crime was down, but 2023 is the most dangerous year for repos? Odd.
I want to be remembered as "a nice guy"!
Who was the body builder?
Boat guy sounds cool af.
Wow free 130k machine jackpot
Wow. imagine 20+ yrs of impound fees on the Lambo. By this time probably more than the car is worth.
30k for fuel?! Dayum.. Definitely worth a dinner … lol
Faith in humanity restored
Damn good man
Random shots of cars is Hilarious!
Edit. Zero receipts
Bro stopped paying for a car cause they wouldn’t fix it
Bro should have left that damn car lol
