How Many Cars Can I Buy With $5,000 At Auction??

[@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182]

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.

[@TheRealWormsGarage]

So you can drive a car without title? I'm so interested

[@Wolverine-ky9gk]

Will do Mr Vermonter

[@osumruss]

That is insane to me but awesome lol

[@volks-jager]

@@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.

[@laudanum669]

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.

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.

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.

[@geraldsmith9540]

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!!! 👍🏻😁

[@theotherdanw]

You got some really good deals! I think the deal of the day was the Volvo. That was a steal!

[@frankgrimes7210]

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!

[@mouthwash884]

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.

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 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.

[@gggggggg3542]

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

[@robertvance1873]

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.

[@rirebel6029]

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

[@PoopyPants-1955]

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. 😮

[@stevevarholy2011]

That generation Volvo you have to shop carefully. I have one as a daily with 212k on it. They can be a long life vehicle if the fluids are changed, the timing belt service is done, and it's never allowed to overheat. In other words, they can have expensive problems if they were owned by a typical Toyota/Hyundai driver. However, you take care of it, you are looking at 500k+ Because of that, bargains are to be had due to their relative unpopularity.

The Routan should be an easy and profitable sell. The Ford F-350 has plenty of 'Vermont Patina', needs some body and interior work but if get lucky at the local junkyard you could make it better. Maybe for the Volvo if go to the junkyard for the p.s. pump, they might have a decent drivers door in the right color. As to titles, NY State didn't require titles until 1966. In about 1976 I bought a beater 1965 Chevy Impala from a friend who had a dealers license who got it from an auction in NY State, only had to have the NYS registration card to transfer ownership to me in New Jersey. Many who have travel trailers and live in NY, NJ, register them in VT as cheaper for registration.
