My fave vids are you just buying fixing cleaning and selling cars. Also auctions.
Any video on a $500 car will make you more than that on RUclips ad revenue so please keep doing it - we love the content!
I’ve been in the car business for 25 years as a manager and throughout that time people I worked with tried to start used car lots and couldn’t swing it. I watch your videos and I respect what you do and it always talks me out of trying that myself lol. I watch all your videos
Best car I ever owned was a P71 Crown Vic. It was black and white, retired from City of Mesa. Paid $1000, daily drove it for 5 years, then resold it for $500. Only thing I put into it was the "police interceptor" badge and 4 tires.
This in my car, Bought it from the guy a few weeks ago. LOVE IT, the thing turns more heads than a mustang. The light was a fire suppression light, the reverse lights DO WORK there was just a switch on the trunk, CB and PA do work they were both wired up to cigarette lighter adapters and just had to be plugged in, this thing is my baby and it RIPS. It’s so fast and it’s a burnout machine. Highly recommend doing business with him to anybody looking for a car.
Hey this was my first car a couple years ago,there's even a video of it on my channel if you don't believe me. do you have an insta or anything I can follow the story of the car
Wanna sell it lol
@@rickybobby7326 shoot me an offer haha
it does NOT rip lol.
@@steveww07 haha I was driving a manual 96’ 2.3 ranger, compared to that this thing rips
As a previous 10 yr car salesman i respect your outlook and honesty Thanks for being a good human being
Dude, I love your videos. I love that you bought this car. I love that you did rust repair, detailed it. You showed that car more love that its had in years. That kid is going to enjoy it!
30% of $375 is only $112.50 for uncle Sam. Ask your kids to do your books, I'm sure they understand simple math! 😂
Selling a kid his first cheap car and also lead to new business and repeat customers! Always a good service to the community.,
Agree. Any good customer if treated properly can be a potential customer for life if you treat them kindly, be honest, and be fair! Unfortunately every investment or car will not make a huge profit but that is business. I watch South Beach Classics and he does really well, he says you don't make money off the sale you make money off the purchase, if you get it at a low or fair market value than profit will be there when you sell..plus he said when he loses money on cars. he doesn't even care, he wins a majority of time but he said losing money isn't the worst thing and he embraces it...just means next person who bought it got a great deal and they can make a bigger profit potentially for their business.
Yeah when the litle punk wraps that rwd v8 around a tree in a couple months he’ll need another
Great video craig,gives the consumer a look at what work, expenses, taxes & profit margin there are to deal with. All deals don't come up as roses, so much to be learnt from vids like these. Well done Craig. ( Aussie John)...
I enjoyed that video, Craig! I think most of us who watch your content would rather see sub $20K, maybe 30 cars than exotics. For me, it's much more interesting to see a vehicle I could possibly afford than a Ferrari. I do enjoy all of your posts though. I appreciate the time you put in. I wear a navy & a black Flying Wheels t on the weekends. I think your followers appreciate your hard work.
Good on you. Well done, just shows you can save an old Police Car and pass it on. Now you have a new customer who will come back time and time again...
Light is for the rear fire suppression. With the issue of the exploding fuel tanks ford added the rear fire suppression. You likely have a bad module, very common and expensive.
Surprise surprise! You got a lot of fans Craig! I’m from Cali, my goal is one day stop by and buy a car from flying wheels and drive it home!! 😂
Great video as always Craig!
YES we watch your videos and enjoy them very much ... Thank you for your hard work
Always enjoy your videos and "not a cop" was no exception. Glad you explained how much you really made. You are a good man Craig, keep up the good work.
Yes! This the best kind of content!😊
I enjoy these videos...times are very hard financially for a lot of people, its a great affordable, reliable, safe car for the 17 year old. You are putting a car that most would overlook back on the road.. its a car that can help that kid get to a job or potentially college, so what may not be as valuable or a money maker for some it is a treasure and appreciated by that kid. You get a video out of it , dont make a ton of money whatsoever, but it shows that u do things for fun and spontaneously, that is a good approach to business!!! Everything doesnt have to be so serious everytime, sometimes its nice to get back to the foundation of what built your business and shows your grounded and didnt forget your roots. Its not a bad looking car plus you got to meet a subscriber that supports you and watches your videos...so there is value in that!! Plus any dollar that you make off something these days should be valued, times are real hard.
Kid will probably spin it into a phone pole in a month.
Right. That cash for clunkers deal took alot of cars that would have been affordable and/or first cars to the scrap yard. Doing this is like a public service. It's also better environmentally bc that car is already made. It's a win, win... win, maybe another win. Haha
i do enjoy all you post, keep up the great stuff, thanks.
Great video and I love that commercial you do with the internet added to the Attic LOL
Craig, your content is perfect, real-life experiences from start to finish. It's perfect, and me being from central Florida and in a similar industry its interesting to see what appears to be a small town. All my friends down here do pretty much the same thing. Although In shorts and a tank top. Love the snow, prefer the sun.
Also that cluster isn’t a grand maqius cluster. Looks like that actually may be a crown Victoria one and that light on the bottom right may be from the fire suppression
I’m not sure why but we had a couple crown Vic patrol cars show up with grand marquis parts on them. I’m guessing they interchanged the parts knowing the fleet buyers would not care.
Dude.....I enjoy your videos.....I'm sure they are a lot of work....thanks :-)
This the coolest car that has been on the channel in awhile
Great video! Made more money on this than on your trip to Mecum in Florida!
Still a GREAT car for the money! The Panther chassis is a wonderful value for the young and old.....I have owned FIVE of them so far....
Fun video and you made a young man a decent first car! Keep up the good work 👍, been subscribed for six months now from California.
Mega thumbs-up, Craig!!!
Thanks for all the videos!
I’m on my second retired squad car. It’s my winter beater. I buy them and don’t care about them but wind up driving the hell out of them and really liking them. Usually they are cheap and reliable, and last years. Good video.
Hi Craig. I like this Car. It looks so Cool being raised up like that lol. Nice job. 😅🇨🇮
Eye opening! Thanks, Craig!
your videos are great ! Awesome story about the nice kid. Very rewarding. Keep them coming please.
Yep, that's about right!! Great vid!!! Love the car!!
Great video, appreciate all the effort you put into making interesting content!
I've said it before, you have such a polished professional delivery. You're such a natural.
You seem so much happier with cheaper cars. Good buy👍🏾
You forgot to add $20 pushing the other car onto the trailer so you really made $195.
Good video. Just like the old days. Great content
It was a fun video, Craig.
Great breakdown of cost and profit.
Great channel, sorry about florida auction disaster, Maybe just keep doing what you know makes you money. Anyway great videos
Subbed for the honesty.
I love watching your videos it's interesting but also inspiring to me.
Awesome job Craig
I’m not 17 but you and flying wheels are part of my morning coffee enjoyment. The profit on the cop car is still a 40ish percent.
Craig: Did I buy a grand marquis or a crown vic?
Me: you bought a piece of sh*t is what you bought, Craig 😂
It runs and if you don't have transportation it is a treasure and has huge value for buyer! Get you to work, college etc...used cars are more expensive that new cars these days so 1800 was a fair price for the 17 yo kid! It is a great first starter car!! Gets you from point A to point B..that's all most people want and care about.
🤣
😂😂😂
That POS sold in a heartbeat. With all the Cleetus fans it's become a hot ticket.
He bought a money maker
Love your videos!
Man this guy is a true pro, keep going from Canada ❤️
500$ for a Crown Vic in 2024 is a steal !
There's also the fact that this car came with some performance goodies like the brake rotors. Great video & cheers !
Love ur content sir❤❤
Another great video, the car would make a cool low rider.
Good video you should make more like this 👍
This was a great video Craig i think its a detective car
love the new special affects.....nice entranining.
I love those Panther platform cars.... Practically indestructible. That Hoonigan sticker tells me that it has seen a few burnouts before you got it.
Love the videos
It also has front seats from what looks like a 04+ Pontiac Grand Prix.
Excellent buy!
Its about time ive been telling people your not getting these crazy prices anymore at the auctions or private sales
Brothers in the hood love these cars.
You didn’t lose $, had fun and got content. Win for you.
Crown marque lol love it. I bet that was a highway escort vehicle - travels with 18 wheelers and heavy/oversize loads
Say what you want I had 3 crown vics. Tons of space.Tons of power.Super fun to drive. HUMONGOUS trunk. The sound of that v8 is awesome.
Do u not think we are entering the market of affordable cars, since a lot of the people are gonna lose their cars to repos.
I think we are getting into cheaper cars because no one can afford new cars
It's coming. Look at the toy market first. I flip boats and RV's and people are dumping their stuff they aren't using or can't afford payments on to free up cash. I'm finding some great deals
People are imagining the car market like the housing market. It is not that, in the history of cars in the US most people are negative in equality the first 3-5 years on a purchase. This is nothing new. But What has happened is that dealers are again giving price off MSRP and manufactures are giving incentives.
Not many people are underwater because not many people bought.. thats why the dealers had to overcharge because no one was buying.. people will stop house payments before car payments. House payments are the real money pit. Boats and rv are millionaires toys, anyone else buying them are just fools. Car prices are going down much … its inflation.. new prices will only go up and pull the used prices up with them. Yes there will be plenty of cheap ragged out junk but there is always that
Are you implying cars are not affordable? Thats a silly statement because everyone has them.. i have 3 on a truck drivers salary.
Great video
I'm pretty sure the one dash light that was on was for a fire suppression system that some Police Interceptors come with in case the vehicle gets rearended, to prevent the gas tank from combusting, catching the vehicle on fire. Either the fire suppression system was removed or used, making that light come on.
We all started in cheap cars so , I love these cheap car videos . Reminds me how hard respectable flippers work on sleds . Say a solo week on that car 40 hrs , fluids and shop supplies 300 , vig for the house 100 , so you made 750 so after taxes you made 12.50 an hour it sucks some weeks 😅
😂 Marquee 😂
Hmmmm... nope. It's Marquis, Craig 😂 Thanks for the vids! Keep em coming.
I really enjoy all your videos and appreciate the content you working so hard picking up different things like this cop car was interesting, but damn Uncle Sam is a thief lol 😂. Keep up the good work Craig been watching for years😊 take care from Ohio just got my new Flying wheels baseball hat and new t shirt. Excellent Quality merch. Stay cool 😎 Craig!
I like videos like this. All too often, I see people at auctions buying cars that are at least $3000 and higher and there isn't much work to be done to them get them on the road again.
I used to flip abandon cars years ago. I didn't do it for profit. It was more of a hobby of mine. At one time, I had 15 cars in my collection. I often paid $50 to $100 for these cars and for the majority of them, they ran with just a few simple repairs. However, I sometimes broke even or even lost money on the cars I sold. Some cars are just not worth fixing even for $50.
For example, one time I bought a 91 vw cabriolet. The auction couldn't find a bidder (these were all blind bids) so at the end of the auction, I was asked if I would be willing to buy it for $50 (minimum bid). They even had the key for it which most cars did not. It even started up! But the top had tears in it and it was water logged. When I tried to drive it off the lot, I found out that the drive shift was completely destroyed along with the wheel bearings.
I replaced the drive shaft and the wheel bearing and the car was now drive able. Unfortunately, it had other problems. The power steering didn't work and discovered that the power steering rack was leaking, so replaced it with a rebuilt one. That was a nightmare of a job! After that, I discovered a leaking camshaft seal so I removed the head to replace it.
I didn't bother to replace the top. I looked into replacing the one I had and it look like another nightmarish job. So I decided to stitch the tears and used "shoe goo" to make it rainproof. From afar, the repair wasn't noticeable.
It took me several attempt to clean out the interior. Overall, the interior cleaned up nicely but the smell was something awful.
Six months after I bought the car, I sold it for $500. I could have sold it for more but I had other projects to worry about. I didn't add up all my expenses, but the most expensive part I put on it was the power steering rack which costs about $130. Overall, it was a fun little car to drive but it wasn't my type of car. I hope the buyer didn't run the car into the ground like the previous owner did.
I watch ALL your videos Craig thanks for making them & keeping me entertained !
Good video craig
The "valves over fire" light is the fire supression system i believe.
Fun video. I prefer the hand-held, DIY quality over the hiring a film crew. It feels more honest as to who you are and what your business is. And you'll make more off of the video than the car so keep making the videos!
I like the $500 cheap car videos. Who would buy this thing though? It’s an old ford that waste so much gas
Those cars do better on fuel than you think I heaved own 3 of them they all got 21 city 30 on highway
@@carlgruver695I drove one from Boston to NYC filled up in Boston got to NYC did my stuff there and got halfway back on one tank they’re usually good for around 400 to 450 miles on a tank definitely not terrible on gas like people would assume
They actually get 20-24 mpg not bad I have a nice 2004.
Definitely a fun vehicle. I'm sure it's a great inexpensive vehicle for young folks or someone wanting to tinker with.
Great video something different but I enjoyed the content
What a fun video! AND you made $179 that you can buy groceries and the $$ that you make from RUclips. Thanx Craig.
I just paid $350 for my 03 Crown Vic with only 117k miles with lights and sirens that actually work and its black and white. The one problem was it sat for over a year at the Hemet maintanance yard and some mice moved in under the hood and damaged some wiring but I fixed all of that and am about to smog the car.
i had a cv....330k on a 4.6.... great motors, great vid
Likely the exhaust sounds good and check engine light is on because someone cut the cats off.
Fixing that exhaust must have cost something. Always enjoy you're videos..
I love the intercept great pick up safe car awesome one way taxi service
Whatttt you have a drift car?!? So neat! The panther would go good to the drift community. Some people like the panther.
Quite enjoyable
Having owned these cars since 1985, it looks like this car is a Grand Marquis with a Police Interceptor front end. The trim on the trunk is from a Grand Marquis, the taillights are aftermarket as is the spoiler. (The Gulf Coast Countries specification cars had a spoiler similar as did the Marauder.) The interior has the simulated leather seats and woodgrain that the Police Interceptor wouldn't have. Also, that speedometer has 140 MPH on it and looks to be a Police Interceptor unit. A Police Interceptor wouldn't have the color-keyed mirror covers; they would be flat black. I don't think the Police Interceptor has reading lights in the rear seat; criminals don't need them. IIRC the Police Interceptor has the 250 horsepower 2-valve engine. I would say it is an MGM. GREAT VIDEO!
Do more Panther platforms! Those things are absolutely tanks!
I bought a 2003 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 12 years ago, had only 152K, but it was a clean detective car, looked like grandpas Vic with all the stock badgers and wheel covers, but it had all the cop goodies under the hood and drive train. I took off the wheel covers and added the center caps, took off the Crown Vic badge and added one that just said 'Interceptor", and did what is called a J Mod to the transmission which was a simple shift kit modify, and got rubber in all the gears. A beautiful well maintained car, not a city blaster abused cop car.
My brother in law would pay $3k for that car all day. It's actually a really nice car, and there's lots of people that love those cars.
I enjoy your video very much would love to go to car auction with u one day
I'm super curious about what those seats are! I've got a Grand Marquis with those stupid benchy/bucket seats and yours are not factory seats for sure!
Also that light on the dashboard, the weird wing light, is the fire suppression system that some Crown Victoria's had. That being a Grand Marquis with a crown vic cluster means it's likely looking for a connector that isn't there.
Either way, cool video!
Good video.
Ahhh a real $500 car again, so nice
The best thing about the Vic/Marq is that you made some young kid that will have a ball with it and then trash it. (after taking the stang wheels)
I like these stupid cheap cars, and the weird oddball cars from the auction, lots of fun and quick turn around, low stress, much better than an 8 video series on one expensive car
It was lifted because the previous owner had Dubs on it, but when they traded it in, they put whatever they had available and kept or sold the big rims.
I like it.😊
