Expeditions are very well known for blowing engines, the junkyards full of them.
In all fairness, junkyards are full of every make and model car... That's why they are junk yards. Expeditions of the 2v era are bulletproof.
Also in all fairness I've seen expeditions with 500k if they had the old 2valve 5.4! No joke! These things were worked hard on a courier route and kept going! Also my 04 f250 had a 2 valve 5.4 and I put 360k on it before a 2500 chevy hit me and totaled it ! The 04 f250 could be had with a 5.4 2valve but yet 04 f150s had the three valve!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Hey Randy the guy never said what Ford motor no way it would be 4.6 that motor indestructible.
Why do you sell cars via auctions? You’re basically ensuring you get paid the least amount of money.. you could have easily sold this for $2,000-$2,500
@@joshin94565 He can't sell to the general public with his license only wholesale.
Picked up a southern rust free 04 expedition. $3000.00 dollars. Runs great. It's my project truck. I have a $12000.00 budget for it. I going to bring it back to new condition. Well worth it. A new one is well over $50,000 ,dollars. No car payment. My mechanic has replaced nearly everything. It's a 1 year project. Mine is a 4wd eddie bauer edition. 200,000 miles.
I have the exact same truck with 227k miles and it is rock solid.
$901 for a 2004 Ford Expedition.. wow.
Would you believe me that I sold a very similar one back in july for $14.800 at my small dealership in southeastern Europe?
..and yes, that actually is the regular price over here for a car like that. It's absolutely amazing how cheap they are over there.
Hate to see it go man but that is my favorite generation of Expedition... They are reliable both 2V and 3V since there both stroked 4.6s. There is a aftermarket oil pump for the 3V and of course aftermarket plugs for it that will make it so much better in terms of reliability! Good video!
I think doing the foggy headlights are one of the best things you can do when detailing a car.
And steering too
It's crazy how a common issue can kill a brand or particular model of a vehicle
Someone got a steal for $900 even if it has 267k miles.
Gotta love that youtube revenue🤙
Yep
@Tracy Guthrie yet here you are. Makes total sense
Yeah he's making tons of money. Over $25k a month with clunkers. Geez🙄
@Tracy Guthrie what weird beard crap?
100%
That was a steal….. you can’t buy non rusting rust bucket for that. That’s crazy. That suv should have made. A lot more then that
you should pick up a cheap yukon xl or suburban now and see what kind of money they go for, before and after..
It's amazing to me how everyone is an expert on how Randy should run his business. At the end of the day you made over 500.00 on a vehicle that you spent what 1 week maybe 2 on the Ford SUV! 901.00 is a surprise to me I thought she'd bring 3000/4000 at least as nice as she was. You stole it then someone else did. Just keep doing what your doing and AAR will be just fine.
I appreciate that!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds No problem. Fellow okie success is always cool
I don't know why but some people on this channel tend to stick their noses in his business. The other day there was a guy who asked him to donate or something (& in a very aggravating language) 😂
I was like WTF !!
If Randy was a retail dealer with a lot he probably could have sold it for more money. Selling through IAA limits the potential customers, plus it's an auction so it limits the time people have to find it for sale. Yeah he can advertise through this channel, but how many viewers are local enough to buy cars from his IAA location?
But being a retail dealer comes with more headaches, more laws and rules to follow, it may not be cost effective to make that leap selling $500 hoopties that way.
I T-Boned a 2001 Expedition Eddie Bauer a few years ago. It was a tank to drive. I loved it. Wish I had another (hint)
Randy completely agree, you are receiving income for posting a video and if it your it a car per video or 1 car with many videos it all counts for that car.
Good one! Tough to find those clean up my way. Their all rotted out by now
Same here in Pennsylvania
My 2000 Chevy suburban rotted out in New York. So I moved down to nc and bought a 2015 Chevy Tahoe with black rims and red paint and a small lift . I ain’t letting it get rusty it’s a beast. #FULLSIZESUVS
Tht was a nice 2004 Ford Expedition, I am looking for one for myself
Video was short Randy, I understand your purpose for sharing how your financial infrastructure works. Stop worrying about trolls there going to follow you cause you add meaning to their lives, as for subs like me we just like the good content you provide…. Your financials are your business. Keep doing what you do….
Bought a used 4.6 with 100k on it and racked up the miles back in the day hauling 3 kids and their teammates all over town. Great reliable truck.
Keep going randy, enjoy your videos
Congratulations I agree with the way you are doing things. Thank you for another great video. 😀👍🇨🇦
I love the profit and loss videos. We need more of these vids
I have a ton more coming! 2 a day!
Video won't play. Am able to watch everything else but this one. Figured I'd let you know. ******Edited****1 hour later, it's playing now. Sweet!
Hell if i had known it was going to go That Cheap I would have bid ! But i don't recall an episode on you sending this one to IAA ? And its # ?
If they had polished the headlights, the vehicle would have looked newer. Nice video and what a nice suv for the price .
Much support as always keep up keep up the positive work u do my friend
Love the rare 80s and 90s you do! Keep on keeping on! Love from Yukon OK
Glad to see a fellow Oklahoman here! Thanks!
Yeah you are right on the alternator thing! Alot of those 5.4s have heavy duty alternators! My f250 was that way!
Randy, great flip. Profit PLUS RUclips revenue.
My 04 Expedition was the best car I ever owned. Now it's passed down to family and I want it back!
2 wheel drive cars are fine... just less traction in winter
Randy!!! Check the multi-pin connector which plugs into the alternator. On my '05 GT, it took a strong push with my thumb to get it locked in.
That car was giving the the "Check Charging System" message, but I still had good charging voltage, and no other symptoms of such a problem. Expecting to find the charge cable not tight at the alternator, I pulled it out and checked everything, and that multi-pin plug came out a little too easy when I pulled on it. When I put it back together, I had to really use some pressure to get that connector to click into the locked position. But once I did that, the message center warnings stopped, and the charging voltage went up a tenth, or two, of a volt.
While I appreciate the advice, as the video implies the car is long sold and gone.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds It's late, I'm old, and much escapes me anymore...
What ever happend to the 98 or 2000 dodge ram? It was a red shortbed truck how much did that end uo going for ?
that year of Expeditions will last forever, take care of it that is. i would buy one for my wife, & i said for my wife. how long they will last.
Good video, loved the update 👍. Lived in Del City for two years when I was working at Tinker Air Force base, great people in Oklahoma, hated to leave. Can you do an update on the 1983 240D, that was a nice car.
If you had brought that vehicle up to New England it would have gone for quite a bit.
As long as you got a profit man and that video will only gain traction as well with this video, inspiring for others to take risks and no matter how they turn out, RUclips can still make it worth while
You can use you tube off set the losses that's one of the main parts of your business
So nice Randy you give your fans a chance to buy a nice vehicle at a great price!
Randy to the haters that don't like you including the RUclips revenue don't they understand if you didn't you would not buy the car's because if you did you would be in the poor house and have no business , keep up the good work and bring us interesting stuff we would not normally see Randy 👍
Many thxs Ian from the UK
Thanks bro!
Your net is your net- explaining it out, breaking it down, people can adjust what you saw by had they done the same thing sans RUclips revenue
Love that you show the YT revenue and you always have 🔥🔥
Your absolutely right , Liked vid
Great job, Randy! A profit is a profit.
Great video😃
I loved mine, ifnit was 4wd I would have bid on it. 2wd in snow country doesn't make a lot of sense when you get 3 feet of snow in storms.
So long as there is more profit than loss at the end of the year it doesn't matter where it came from.
You would also have to add these profit/loss followup videos into the mix so the profit would be higher.
i have the police model of this car and have had like 1 issue with it but otherwise its been great
I wish I could get it at the price you paid for it that a deal im looking now for something like that here in Cali
Do you have special deals with car insurances in the USA to be able to keep all those cars? In most of Europe they would butcher your bank account.
129 that's cheap for expedition alternator. Mine cost 225 years ago many years ago. But its a flip so I'd let her ride too.
Randy, you need to know something. I am a fan of your videos and content because of you and what you do. I don’t care or need an explanation of why you get rid of vehicles or why you keep them OR WHAT YOU MAKE ON THEM!!! Anyone who cares about that is not a fan and shouldn’t be watching your channel. It’s your job and business to make a profit and a living. Time is money. You have bills to pay just like the rest of us. Any profit you make is a good deal no matter how you do it. So keep it up and again, know that the fans who don’t care what you make are your fans. The ones who bug you about this are fake.
Oh boy late night video 🤘
Yessir 😂😂
Lots of profit / loss videos coming lol. I've sold a lot of cars.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Randy i hope you find good cars at copart and flip em and make a good profit and buy some nice cars that you can keep
Oh man I love this generation
Ford/Lincoln make amazing cars but sometimes come up with stupid decisions (internal water pump in 3.5 & 3.7, 3v in 5.4, auto transmission in focus, manual transmission in some of the Mustangs)
Thanks for the update & I wish you better luck with selling the next vehicle
BTW I have a question, how can you drive the car right away after winning it (no plates, registration)? I also buy sometimes from Copart/IAA on very infrequent basis
I'm a dealership, so I have dealer tags that go on any vehicle I drive.
Great job and great Super Clean hat.
When you consider you just made money on this Ford Expedition video also,you’re killing it.
Why would anyone say you tube content doesn't count?
At least you made some profit on it! I was hoping you made more!
I wanted it but I can't get the IAA account goin. I like the 04 to 07 Ford's. I wish I could get this but I just hate to pay for the shipping but I'm dying for a rust free one up north.
This one was a real gem!
Always dig the after action report videos
Wish I had that thing love those years
Off subject I thought Christine was trying to communicate from shadows when you returned to garage.
those expeditions are good suvs. they have a loyal following and will always sell
I know a lot of people around here that have Expedition's and they have no problems with them.
You buying anymore cougars?
Would be great if you did figures for all your sales as it is great content for us viewing ps love your channel over the pond in Doncaster in the uk
You can absolutely count the video profit toward the total of the vehicle...because that is the entire premise of how your business is structured! The whole point is to feature cars and make money off of the content.
That right money is the game.
I think you should have at least got $1500 for it; that vehicle should go another 100K miles with regular oil changes and maintenance... Heck, I bet CARMAX would've given you more than $900 for it!
Randy, do a P&L on that Range Rover. Wish I would've bought it from IAA!
I understand your business setup and it's great that it is working but not sure that is a sustainable business model,what would happen if RUclips revenue drops or goes away for some unforseen reason. Not saying that will happen but it crazier things have happened.
Smart buy! You Tube revenue DOES matter!
Oh man she is listening to music by her self and looking damn fine doing it.
Lol Randy that’s all you talk about is the AC HAHAHAHAHA remember us poor brits we love the heat in the car
Randy, I still don't understand why you sell these cars at auction. All you have to do is post them on Facebook and Craigslist and you will sell them quick for big big bucks. You have a big following. 901 for that Ford Expedition oh my gosh I'm sick about it I would have paid three times that.
That's Christine's radio, LMAO.
My mom had an 03 expedition 250k miles frame went before the engine
Do like hearing what the vehicles go for on the profit or loss videos
More to come!
8:21 i love this moment
That engine + tranny is a golden combo
Batt light ON lol 😂 Good luck with that one. You can put 10 new alternators with the correct amperage required in it and that light will stay on so that’s not the issue.
Last time I checked you never showed up to diagnose this vehicle, and any mechanic worth his weight would never remote diag a car... Just saying.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Had an 03 Expedition XLT with the same issue. Sold it with 205k for $4k but it was a 4X4. The batt light is a rabbit hole you don’t wanna go down but if you get another one with it on I’ll tell you how to fix it because there isn’t much info out there on it.
Love how your trying to convince yourself
Your explaining why people will get tired of watching at some point
Damn, Randy! You're up late..... :) This video was a very nice surprise. Thank you!
The Expedition turned out GREAT!!!!! All you have to do is either restore the headlights or replace them which is what I would do and it would look awesome. I REALLY miss the Eddie Bauer Fords, they were beautiful!
Since I'm sick there will be several of these coming out over the next few days as I recover and stay home. I appreciate it man.
Randy , do you buy cars from auctions for people and ship it to them?
It's up to the buyer to arrange transport of the vehicles.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds got it, so how the process works with you regarding getting a car that i want through you?
Can a wholesale dealer from California go to another state to buy a vehicle?
They sure can.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds what's the process of getting a car through you?
Hey Randy! I was looking to get one of those lights for my brothers car to help him work on the engine. Can you let me know what type of light that is or where you purchased it?
It's a milwaukee: amzn.to/3mmzwsG
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Thank you kind sir!
You bet!
What I want to know is who’s phone was ringing in your video LOL
I like this gen expedition, preferably 03-04
Love that suv
get a used one cant be more then 60-70 bucks from the junkyard
I would say just sell the vehicles on Facebook market place you’ll make a lot more
Would love to get my hands on it wife's pregnant and looking for a vehicle any advice or ideas @autoauctionrebuilds
#autoauctionrebuilds
Mannnn this is nice
Let's go Randy
Sucks you can’t sell to the public, I fell like getting my dealers license buying your cars from the auction and selling to the public.. Always sucks seeing what some of the cars sell for especially the Benz
A Loss on the truck
Its crazy here in the USA its a piece of crap to lots of people. I mean they bad mouth the crap out of it. But in dominican republic if you have that expedition you are the man and have alot of money cuz American trucks over there sell for way more than here in the usa.
I have seen Randy walk right past a nice looking, 1st Gen Expedition at Copart, to look at a crappy KIA. I said out loud, doesn't he see that?
Is there a video for the Range Rover?
For sure. Tomorrow.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds alright!!
Randy, tell me how can I bid on your cars? Please get back to me.
Boy, I've been living the 3V night mare lately. Thank goodness for cam phasers lockouts and programing.
I have a 05 Expedition,170k. Can you offer any advise on staying away from your 3v nihtmare?
