I went to this auction in Williston Vermont and bought as many decent cars as I could for $5,000.
Ford F350, Volvo XC70, Volkswagen Routan

Update on blue gmc needing trans that everyone keeps asking about: it’s coming soon. I need some time to recover from back injury before I can do hard labor like a trans install though. Stay patient!
Also: no vermont vehicles over 15 years don’t need a title for everyone asking.
So you can drive a car without title? I'm so interested
Will do Mr Vermonter
That is insane to me but awesome lol
@@TheRealWormsGarage Vermont does not require title on any car over 15 years old. furthermore anyone can register a car in Vermont via the mail. you dont need to live in Vermont or even have a valid drivers license. Vermont just wants you reg fee money and they dont give a crap. this is a way that people in other states can get titles for cars via a Vermont registration. it is called the "Vermont title loophole" and there are many video on how to do it.
👍
A guy I used to work with would go to auctions at our cities impound lot. He would get there early and he had the same paint pens as the impound lot used and he would write stuff on the vehicles like "Bad Tranny", "No Title", "Blown Head Gasket". He said it worked most of the time, scaring people away from bidding on the cars. The guy was quite a character.
so fraud?
Oh man haha that’s terrible
😂
Saul Goodman? That you?
Man bad tranny cars are the best, im probably your friend’s worst nightmare cuz all my cars were bought with “bad tranny”
I have such respect for someone who can work on cars, repair them and resell them to customers who really need an affordable vehicle. Keep the videos coming!
HEY! That’s my mom’s old 4Runner in the thumbnail! I remember it had those exact stickers, and it was the same color/trim level! Cool to see it’s still around after 5+ years (we thought it’d be in a scrapyard by now).
That’s kinda cool! Maybe someday I’ll see my old tahoe on one of these types of videos too.
You’re right that’s her 4Runner alright. I miss those back seats
@@justaverage7629😂😂😂😂
Why don't you buy It back?
@@bertinister I don’t want a 4Runner.
You scored pretty well, knowing that you already have them sold. Smart businessman. Hope your back is improving. Look forward to more.
Pleasure doing business with you! Hope to see you back here soon!
Always a great time up there!
What the hell is with that guy calling the auction omg 😲 it was horrible mate was he trying to sing or something plz don't use him again that was hard to sit through
@@nightskyimages2977 i was thinking the same thing 😂 ig the bidders don’t mind but sheesh
@@DrizzleSports haha yer 🤣 😆 was terrible I'd bid to shut him up
Love THC. I’m in Saint albans and have bought two cars from them
getting to know the auction folks, and treating them with respect is the way to go..the golden rule..it comes back to you in mutual respect and deals when they can..i am a first time viewer and with that i subbed..
Always a good day with a new Rural Vermonter video to watch!
❤ q
Upload!!
A tip to keep in mind for the next time! The key turned to the on position with the engine off will test the check engine light, to make sure the bulb is functioning(it's standard on all vehicles). That is of course if the codes hadn't been cleared or the battery disconnected/discharged. And/or a small scan tool can be a very helpful thing to have assuming the same circumstance, they can give a general idea what to expect when buying the vehicle.
The auction manager is an OG rap god
Hahaha
Not really he's not as good as others
Any time I think I'm getting the hang of a new hobby, I watch videos like this that prove I still have a lot to learn.
Nice Dodge with the 3-on-the-tree manual tranny @ 7:31. You learned fast. White Imperial is a real gem too! Thanks for the free ride to this auction.
Really looking forward to seeing more content now that it’s summer and you’ll be posting more up. Always enjoy your vids ARV. Keep them coming!😎
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Keep em coming ! Awesome content. I love cheap cars.
Wowzers, I'm surprised how many running/driving cars you can get for $5000 especially in today's market!
Major wins all around! I remember the Caravan video fondly, it's because of that and the Breaking Bad RV that I subscribed to your channel! Sad to see it go, hope it sells. And get well soon!
This is such crap
You got some really good deals! I think the deal of the day was the Volvo. That was a steal!
Happy you got the 6.0, can't wait to see the work you do to it 🤙🏻
Some good deals at that auction. Nice! Wish it was closer to me here on Delaware. Thanks for taking us along. -Glen
One of my favorite RUclips channels and guys. I only have a few.
Nice haircut. I like your hair longer but this look good too.
That's a great auction.
the van is the one brought me to your channel lol well new things to come anyway. with the VW i agree my aunt has a 2014 TC had it for 8 years and her driver rear door finally broked
Looking forward to these new videos this summer !
Those Volvos are my wheelhouse, but that XC70 frightens me. The noise, not so much, but the condition of the rest of the vehicle indicates maintenance may have been an afterthought.
Yea P2s are really reliable vehicles, when you actually care about them. At least this one is a 2005 and not an 04!
yeah that top engine mount and radiator hose looked a whole lot crustier than on my s60r . definitely no recent maintenance under the hood of that thing 😂
Thanks for posting more😊
Nice score, those little motors that control the latch mechanism on the rear doors are easy to replace. Got a box of two off EBay for 15 bucks.
Dealer wanted to charge my parents a thousand bucks. 😮
The three on the tree shift pattern you showed was correct. Towards you and up is reverse.
You did great on those cars, a diesel truck that runs for $1k, you would not see that in NC. The truck needs some love and a matching door. Bet Waldo could help with that project. Still think the best truck you have is the 1/2 ton extended cab Waldo and you drove out west for.
Awesome channel I only buy trucks out of junk yards my recent project is a 1978 Ford F-250 3/4 ton 4x4 47,715 miles on it never bought anything from a auction God bless be safe ✝️🇺🇸
I’d try to drop a gear manually next time on that hill. Low rpm bogging down will burn that trans up quick. Awesome purchases too. Selling that van will get all your money back plus some easily.
Always great to see your vids.
Loving all these videos i’m happy the channel is gonna have some more uploads just another reason why summer is good
Great buys. Not too many people at the auction. You been working out? You look noticeably thicker than before.
Thanks! And yea here and there
My car made that exact sound, and turned out to be a water pump. Good buys!
Dude that was a total score! I've been trying to get a Volvo wagon like that one for two years but they're always overpriced here. That truck was a steal for a grand, cool vid dude.
I bought several Tourette’s over the years at the Auction the last one I bought bit me in the ass when I got it home the transmission quit and I had to have it rebuilt.. I’m a dealer in Chattanooga and I bring my scanner to the auction the cars they are sometimes transmission codes Harding and they are on these vans and of course the grand caravan in town and country. The code reader will pick it up. just FYI for future Auction visits
Fun video. Thank you my friend.
I love watching your videos! I wish I had a friend like you to go look at cars with for my teen drivers.
You would put your kid in one of those cars?
lol Everyone should be forced to start with one of these cars. @@Billy.Nomates
@@yeti4954 you're obviously not a parent
Why not?
GREAT STUFF! Love the content.
Great video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
That auction guys voice burned a whole in my skull
That Minivan Sounds SO GOOD!!😍
Lol at 10:30 becuase he's absolutely right. 6-7 years ago buying a crappy old car at the auction for $50-75-100 was not uncommon at all. I bought 2 tauruses and a Concorde each time for less than $200 AFTER fees which at these types of auctions hover around 50=75%. Seeing that POS go for $850 made my stomach hurt. I bet the seller was ecstatic though!
I’d kill to get a running and driving vehicle for $800. I’m in Washington and everyone wants $3k for a running vehicle, or $2k for a “mechanics special” with a blow head.
@@mouthwash884 feel ya brotha, same in the south rn 1500 to 2000 for mechanic specials needing trans or blown heads then 3-4 for 180k miles junk
Old Toyotas go for a lot these days, even with high mileage, because everyone has finally figured out that they frequently last forever.
Doesn't happen nowadays when people buy junk cars for 300$
When I was in my early 20s working for a shady dealer in central Michigan I would bring 500 bucks to the auction every week and there were times I would leave with three cars. I remember one trip buying two 91 Ford Taurus and an 88 Silverado all for 480. Of course I was getting paid 5 bucks an hour and gas was like 88 cents a gallon 😂
You did great on that Volvo. Change out the pump and go through it thoroughly and it will last a long time. I have a 99 Volvo S70 with only 70k on her and she’s just getting broken in. Started driving it again because the trans started slipping on my 02 Trailblazer. Shouldn’t be upset because it’s got 238k on it, but I am 😢. When you get attached to something that runs great and never had any major problems you drive the hell out of it, right!!! Don’t know what I’m going to fix it or not, want another project 🤣. The Volvo is great but being older the parts are harder to get and more expensive. Whoever your selling it to will get their money’s worth out of it for sure. The 2500 being a diesel, well you know, will last you forever as long as you take care of it, which you already know that. Good buys sir!!! 👍🏻😁
The diesel pickup would be a good candidate for some mustie1 like lower quarter panel sheet metal replacement welded in, and then the oil coating underbelly anti-rust RX spray
Oh wow, the area you live in/are in, in the first 2-3 minutes of the video is so scenic!
Wow.I remember you working on that Caravan years ago.
Great score on the Volvo. Love those wagons ! Owned a few. Bought one new in 2002. You are in xc70 country in VT!
Good score! That's a flathead six in that old sheriff's car
The grease mobile is one the first episodes I watched good to see you got the use out of it.
I live in Williston and have always wanted to go to one of these, I think you've convinced me
Hell yea!
As someone who has 331K on his 2000 Sienna, that is NOTHING for a Toyota. That white one's a good one.
Nice haul from the auction!
Some nice deals there! Good video again!
I’ve been waiting u since u have had 10 subs I’m from Vermont myself and live auctions reselling etc. it’s the best
Hope the Duramax rental works out, good way to end a friendship.
Hahaa hopefully
I’m so glad you bought the 6.0. I’m a Duramax owner but I’ve always wanted a 6.0 for the sound
I want a 6.0l something bad just for angry chewbacca noices lmao i have a 7.3l excursion but i plan to never financially recover and get another truck with a 6.0l in it 🤣
i literally live acrossed the pond in NY! you were close to me i go to that auction quite alot!!!
Just a little bit of advice if you are planning on doing this again invest in a few big jugs Green slime if you have some IFFY tires I have seen it seal up some raggedy tire's and it got me home. It's a little time consuming but it's worth it.
Cool video, I love car auctions - Is it me or are the rear wheels on the F150 smaller than the fronts?
You had me laughing and tapping my feet along with you the excitement is addictive. A strong 💯 to all DMOs Army
Thanks that was fun to watch ...
Nice vehicles. If you are keeping the Ford definitely redo the heads and do the bulletproofing. I know several guys that have those after redoing the heads. 300k plus on them.
Volkswagen was a very nice score.
Several nice vehicles for the money as long as theirs no hidden issues you definitely won
Good video. That van looks to just be good for parts. 👍 👍
You got some great deals! Awesome!
Was a wholesale buyer for big box new car dealerships for 34 years. Miss it every day.
Damn, you’re living my dream. All I want is a house with room to store 3-4 cars. Your lot is perfect for what I’d love to be doing someday. Buying, selling, fixing cars. That’s my dream too. Maybe one day… Til then, Imma live vicariously through you. 😁
I love how the vw van even has the chrysler chime no attempt to change anything from the carvan
I'm late but never miss this channel 👍
Love the videos, buying vehicles in this economy is very challenging!! I drive up 91 north every couple of weeks into southern Vermont and the Hinsdale, nh area. Get to know where all the state cops are sitting for speeders!! On one of your previous videos when you broke down coming back from sc, I recognized that spot and the sign right outside of greenfield!! Good luck on your endeavors.
that VW routan cost like $12000-15000 over here in Europe.
I'm seriously considering buying a vehicle at your auction. I live in California 😢
Are you inspecting frames for rot before purchasing? Northeast salt is rough. Good luck on the purchases!
I learn a lot from this video I just subscribed trying to get into the business for overseas
Ah man, I wish I could of gotten that green 4runner. Such a nice color.
those prices are crazy i saw somebody yesterday in socal trying to unload a 4runner with 250k miles and no smog (good luck with that in cali) and a check engine light for $4500
Whats the update on the the GMC Sierra with the trans mission problem
tip: next time you hear a rattling sound when you start the engine, Take the belt off and start the ending again, if the noise goes away then youll know its a pulley.
Lucky to have a nice auction near you, all our locals are insane pricing
Best youtube channel!
those volvos are bulletproof love them
Shoooot i didn't even know they had an auction in Williston. I been to that place too
Car buyers and Disc Golfers? ( yeah, I noticed the DG basket in the background ) COOL! 😊
Go ahead, we support you
Heyy fam thanks for giving me more knowledge! Lemme ask you do you go day before tge auction to (start the engine) or they let you you do it before the auction start?? Also are able to scan a car in auction??
Amazing that you could buy 3 running vehicles for that kind of money. The Volvo looks like a win. Take care of yourself!
It sounds like the auctioneer was singing a military matching song
Hi, From Milton Vt
Quite a few steals at the auction. Congrats
300k miles on those older toyota products is no joke just breaking in. Those things will go 500 - 600k no problem just regular maintanince.
You got a smoking deal on that f350 you could sell the leather interior on marketplace for 1200 bucks no problem ! Personally I would get it looking decent and run it I have had 5 of them and ran them all up over 250k with no problems I trust them way more than that 6.5 diesel and you can actually go highway speeds with the superduty
When are you doing the transmission on the obs Sierra?
How is the inspection for rust in VT? In NY you can get away with body panel rot (sheet metal). Has to be really bad to fail in NY :lol:
Your rust repair vids are fun. I'd like to see you fix the f150
The Greasemobile was the first video I watched of yours many years ago :')
Not bad on the 6.0 if everything checks out might be worth putting a bed on it and fixing the body work. Or just thrash it and sell in the fall 😅😅
On that Dodge, it's palm down push down (and in) for 1st. Palm up push up (and away) for 2nd. Palm down push down (and in) for 3rd. Just turning your hand over will naturally push or pull the stalk. Nothing good ever came from backing up.
Different here in UK, there are different types of vehicles for sale at our auctions, they are as follows
1, Direct from finance (repossessed by bank), all they want is the rest of their money they're due
2, Direct from dealer, a trade in from a main dealer and they just want to get rid of it to get more space
3, Public entry...... someone wants to sell their car quickly
But there are certain phrases you MUST listen for,
Under warranty, you buy it and get 1 hour to check it's roadworthy
Manufacturer warranty, guaranteed for at least one year
No major defects, engine ok, suspension ok....... bodywork may be crap
Category A B C D, insurance write off and repaired (stay clear of these if you're not a garage)
Sold as Seen, if it blows up when you start the engine, tough sh*t
I've bought a couple of decent cars at auctions, but I've also seen many broken down cars littering the vicinity.......... so a word of warning, auctions can be good if you know what you're doing, if you're not sure - - - avoid them, and this goes for any country
That van is so nice!
Buy an enthusiast car and bring it to one of our meets in Colchetser!
