Are Cars Cheaper at Dealer Auctions in Florida? - Flying Wheels

[@mikemills3079]

THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS WITH THOSE PRICES 🤣😂🤣😂

[@kelbale]

Is what it is!

[@johnalan6067]

$108k for a truck 😂😂😂 and that truck will never see dirt

[@kelbale]

@Jesse S oh I agree bro but that doesn't change the fact of the matter. A market is when two people agree on price. People are greedy 🤷

[@stevenhinds4907]

True but they are selling!

[@Ruffianthystoic]

Fl auctions don't play. 💯

[@oldrider]

I like this type of vid more because I get to see your thought process in action, see what you think the cars are worth and then see what they actually sell for. More long videos like this with more cars at auction. You don't have to buy anything, just make the vids!

[@wildmanmo37]

Craig, Love the videos. Get you a wireless mic. It will kill a lot of the background noise and when you turn your head, we will still be able to hear you. Keep on Keeping on!!!!!! You Rock!!!

[@rrsafety]

Rode 2 are awesome

[@paulharden9900]

Great Video. At dealer only auctions its amazing how fast vehicles move and keeping track of which lanes you want to watch is a challenge

[@DavidsExecutiveTouch17]

Good evening Craig. You being back at the auction where you began 15 years ago is very interesting, it serves as further illustration that things are moving full circle. Personally, I'm an automotive reconditioner/paint correction specialist, and began when my Dad had a small preowned carlot in Joplin, Missouri in the late 70's/80's. The last lot he had was on South Main, which coincidentally, I've found myself practicing my trade in once again in 2023. Dad had that particular lot in 81-84 and did NOT have employees, he had kids, and I was the last of 6. Now I've returned to that same place some 40 years later (damn I'm old😨😁), to help another small preowned car dealer grow his dealership. Props to you for returning to your roots, not everyone in our business can say it.🤓 Good job, Brother!!

[@russbellew6378]

Craig, you need a Hokz Opencomm headset. Hands-free, noise-cancelling microphone will allow your voice to be understood even in high ambient noise auction lanes.

[@DYLZONTHABEAT]

Amazing to know you started your career in Orlando. I’m 24 years old doing the same thing in Orlando right now. Your videos are keeping me on the ball

[@79thump8]

I used to rent Sebrings all over the country to shoot rolling video footage for a client. The convertible top was perfect for setting up tripods and cameras. And the emergency brake was perfect for power sliding on to off ramps from 100mph. You put a tripod and camera in a convertible around LA or Miami FL and you might as well be driving a Ferrari in a suit made of 10,000 dollar bills.

[@niagarajoe4402]

I had one in high school….was a great car….I drove it into the ground…but had ALOT of fun in that thing with the top down!

[@brandonevans4142]

10:32..."the doors shut well"...closes door and it absolutely does not shut well lol.

[@densonlandscapes6095]

Love the longer videos Craig. Thanks!

[@whychry]

Great video, thanks that was awesome Cool score on the Hummer that looked sharp

[@daviidee1]

Such good content! We need to get you to a Million Subs asap! God Bless you Craig! You and your family and many businesses!

[@cactuswillable]

Welcome back. Full retail plus fees. Everything is poached and exported. No money to be made but plenty to be lost.

[@richardpuckett8127]

Anyone else notice the resemblance to AlphaM? You look exactly what Aaron Marino would look like. If he sold cars, instead of Pete and Pedro. 2 of my favorite KZbin channels

[@ahmadrahim5108]

THIS IS CRAZY!!! I BOUGHT THE VIPER!! JUST HAD THE EXHAUST DONE TODAY.

[@ehiracheta]

Cool Congrats! I have a Black 06 Viper...those seats are exactly like mine...BUT I've NEVER seen another Viper with those red logos on the seats like mine. VERY COOL!

[@mikesowell7969]

The Chevrolet El Morocco was produced by a Canadian businessman based on the ‘57 Chevy. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking us along!

[@gilbertrodriguez3276]

Awesome video nice cars and all those audi & that lamborghini um you are passionate about different cars & trucks you seemed excited and happy in Florida I think you should move to Florida and your dealership chase your dreams

[@mitchlupo]

LOL @ Craig, 69 Camaro @10:32 "Doors shut really well!" Door doesn't close

[@terrymask3592]

Wish we could have seen the H1 in detail. Awesome video as usual!💥

[@FlyingWheels]

Thursday night

[@russbellew6378]

Craig, a Shokz Opencomm headset with noise-cancelling microphone will allow your voice to be understood even in high ambient noise auction lanes.

[@johngodbout7341]

If trucks are selling for more in Florida, at Auction, than you're selling them for, back home, makes you think that you're selling them too cheap! Especially, when they're selling so fast. I use to buy trucks all winter, and put big prices on them, and just wait for spring. As soon as spring hits they're all gone, and you won't find any good deals again until winter!

[@EricJohnson-lq9zb]

great video, love aution days . the behind the scenes is really fun. I wonder if you very go with specific shopping list or just browse for opportunities?

[@drakesnide6324]

Man I just came on your channel for the first time, for someone getting in to that field, amazing content bro. Love the hummer as well, vipers is my favorite car of all time, huge dodge fan anyway

[@richardwalker9504]

The orange Camaro is a fake Z/28 (you could not get an automatic in a 1969 Z/28). Also, that shifter is called a horseshoe shifter for the automatic.

[@alejandrogordillo7750]

Hi Craig! Best regards from Guatemala City! Great video, loved the H1, the red silverado, and theUrus...

[@SunnynPhilly]

Congrats on the H1 👍😂. Please do a video where ya take it up to the lake house before it sales!!!

[@williamwade7059]

I enjoy how you analyze and think out loud, the fact that your wife is constantly reminding you that you're on vacation is hilarious because keeping wives happybis a full time job😂😂😂😂😂

[@tho464]

Hidden headlight is RS package Shifter is a horseshoe shifter Z/28 had a 302 cubic inch

[@krubenbchavez2023]

That accord sold for 119k 😮 lol nosa it was just funny how they was showing the 2021 accord but bidding on that 2023 TRX

[@LatersOnTheMenjay.]

Great video Craig. Prices seem very high again. 22.5 for the Silverado with 90K? Nice truck, but presumably the dealer is going to try and put that on the lot for close to 30k!

[@kevs2good133]

A truck with almost 100k miles going to need some reconditioning so yes prob 28995

[@weldonbrundige3993]

It's good to see a business owner that operates in the REAL WORLD by using earned money to purchase cars instead of a Floorplan that enables buyers to get the 'fever' in the moment and buy their favorite cars instead of thinking about the real world customer. I appreciate your fiscal frugality and I'm sure your clients do too when they need a car at the right price.

[@travelingfool9096]

that 57 EL Morocco is one of many very cutonmized Chevys, I read a story about them decades ago . I think they may have been factory sanctioned. A very special edition car of very special cars : Tri 5 Chevys

[@marklark8805]

Not a real Z/28. Since its inception, the Z/28 package (which in 1969 cost $506.60) mandated the inclusion of a four-speed manual transmission--or more specifically, the M21-coded Muncie close-ratio unit, adding $195.40 to the sticker price.

[@tobygray497]

It will be interesting too see if the hummer you bought is ok. Bit of an expensive risky impulse putchase.

[@jayjo4077]

Don't get a Model X before 2021. The warranty is up and the battery is almost up as well. Plus they have heaps of issues

[@iancolePRD129G]

Love watching your content Craig, a fan from the UK

[@webmastersof]

I daily drive a 2010 Camaro RS and you would be shocked how much the interior of the 1969 and the 2010 look so much alike.

[@liamegan4303]

Craig i think every car of those Cars were Beautiful 😊. I Cant Wait to see the Hummer. Great colour in Blue with the big Bullbars on the front. Great Videos Craig 👏👏

[@Kenwood1990]

You have wonderful videos.

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Love that Maserati GranTurismo.... that Ferrari derived V8 makes some amazing noices.... 😍🤩🥰

[@rosstudisco8650]

It’s a great car, till you need a part

[@Tevvo_Nxtgen]

Have to subscribe I been binge watching your videos..,gems 💎

[@rajcam80]

The 69 Camaro had power windows, I believe the stripes were off a bit on the trunk? The Chevy sedan,If I remember correctly was a aftermarket upgrade to the car to make it like a Caddy?

[@JohnDoe-wy2py]

1969 Z/28's came with a 302 motor. The 1969 Boss 302 Mustang also had a 302. They were limited to 305 cubic inches for SCCA racing. When the next generation Z/28 came out they in fact had a 350.

[@almichka786]

A 1969Z 28 did not come with an automatic. They only came in four speed.

[@barryfoster6265]

@@almichka786I was coming to say the same thing in the comments

[@griffinxxx6439]

Craig, move back to Orlando! I’ll buy a car from you

[@ehiracheta]

Wow! yea the Viper was my FAVE...I wonder what it brought? Lots of pretty cool cars...I wonder if that was one of those Krypton green camaros that StreetSpeed717 had at one time? Cool stuff!

[@radzer0966]

Down here if your willing to wait 6-8weeks you can get a trx for 5k under sticker.

[@4NINETYSIX]

Craig .. Get with it on some of this stuff . 1969 Z/28's are 4-speed only .

[@rce59]

I enjoy your videos they are very informative. Where in Florida did you use to live?

[@lsxeddie]

When he called the scat pack a super bee 😂

[@aaronbritt2025]

That GT500 was nice, but it's the '13 and '14 with the 5.8 that get all the money. @20:00... What you're talking about is "Yankee Sensibility". We might have money, but we're more frugal.

[@Luke22022]

The CL600 was my favorite. Beautiful car. The Sebrings are a dime a dozen in FL. Go in to any HOA and there will be a half dozen still being driven. Second most popular retirement car- a Celica convertible, usually white.

[@mac.8184]

About the Chrysler Sebring, a few years ago, my daughter bought one just like that one fir about $5000 except it was a 1997. Also low mileage when sold to her. The car would hesitate for no reason while driving at even at faster speeds. Additionally, when the car had been driven for just a brief period of time and was hot/warm it would hesitate and stall in traffic, particularly at traffic lights. Took the car to 4 different mechanics and even the Dealership, spending several thousand$$. No one could figure it out, repair it, so it never ran correctly again. Sounds like an easy fix. We researched a lot of things it could have been but nope. She didnt want to pass it on to another driver so she sold it for parts. We did discover that the car was expensive to repair because of the design of the engine and componets. Never had a car that couldnt be repaired. Maybe a lemon.

[@mexicanspec]

Why would an El Morroco be at that auction and not Barrett Jackson or even Bring a Trailer?

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

25:48 My wife would agree.She also thinks that a hummer will get a vacation paid for

[@jasonmacfarlane7885]

Good job. Could you not get a small used car carrier somewhere? You could buy more and save all the shipping.

[@craigt4467]

Thankyou for documenting the end of sanity It’s ridiculous that anyone wants to spend so much money on cars that very soon you won’t be able to get parts for or anyone to work on them I’m happy I had fun cars when I was young and never paid more than 18,000 for a new car And I got my 63 corvette for 1,500 With 12,000 miles

[@Peetertime]

Wow thank you love the video .going to check the flip cars video .as I'm going to start with corport auction

[@caelenow2829]

Those scatpacks are retailing for between $44k and $50k. Wanting $46k at auction plus fees and delivery cost is insane honestly

[@tho464]

You want to move to a warm climate. We can see you Craig.

[@jrs4ex]

Craig have you ever looked at transporting cars by train? I worked with a guy who would have Florida auction cars shipped by train to Virginia for pretty cheap.

[@Caden553]

Those hummer H1's are super sweet. In AZ there are a few listed in the 60's

[@supraman49]

Hi Craig, been watching you for a while now, really appreciate your content, great work! Notice that you don't buy a lot of Volvo's, althought beeing from the New England region myself I see a lot of these Volvo driving around. How come you don't have any in your lot?

[@junbug9435]

I love the Gt Flying Spur

[@insomniacdetail]

I'm not surprised that the Silverado went for what it did. We are having a hard time getting decent-priced trucks and third-row SUVs.

[@billyminarik2126]

Great video as always

[@freebirdskoolieofficial8163]

Hey Craig- is the Laser Appraiser worth paying for from your experience? Currently I am just scanning VINS with my Manheim app? Buying and selling for a local BHPH in Jax, FL. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. edited this comment to say man I am flabbergasted how nice the top looked on that seabring! looks like someone just spent 1500 replacing it!

[@silver_bullet682]

Just started watching your videos and I'm about 10 deep so far, but I'll be watching more as I like your style and content. To be honest, that 1969 Camaro - definitely not a Z/28 as they were ALL 302 4 speeds - was still a pretty decent deal at that price.

[@GMPC]

What is that app you use? I’m not a dealer but pick up a couple cars a year at an auction in northern vt and would love that info before I buy. You would love some of these cars up here and how cheap they go sometimes. Would love to help you get a few.

[@davec2020]

Another great video Craig. On another topic I'm grabbing my z06 C8 soon from NH do you have any suggestions on ppf and ceramic coating places. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank u

[@tedbiernacki376]

So Craig maybe it's time for a new series. Something like how far south do I really need to go to get rust free vehicles and still make a profit! Can you do the discount if you have a tractor trailer full of vehicles to go north? And maybe when you do get these rust-free vehicles you can spray their undercarriage and give them a longer life up in New Hampshire

[@treads2595]

Craig, you really need to invest in a wearable mic. I love the auction videos but the sound is awful when you are just using your phone.

[@SamslamminCars]

That 99 Sebring with low miles is still worth NADA.. They're garbage new and even slightly used. Love the content

[@georgestone2083]

Those cars and trucks are way expensive. The Red Chevy would sell for more where I'm at in Idaho. But Florida is a long ways away just saying. The RS was a deal at 42k also.

I own a black 06 Viper currently...half the people think it's a corvette lol...but yea I got more attention in my yellow 21' Supra when I had it. However the attention the Viper gets when someone knows what it is is waaaayyy more enthusiastic. I could imagine the Ferrari would definitely get way more looks and enthusiasm than either of those.
