I love the little Focus. My late wife had one from new and In 2009 it was our wedding car and the one we took up the White Mountains (NH) on our road-trip honeymoon. This was an all-new model for the NA market only and whilst not as solid as the 1998-2004 Euro Focus it replaced, it was a much more modern looking and driving car. This one looks to have been well taken care of. The price is probably fair given the mileage, but I wouldn't be so worried about that given it's a fleet vehicle.

C-Max, top five of the 500 cars I ever owned. 125 on the clock, 60 MPG, and best for me, lots of leg room because they are tall. EXCELLENT cars. I would give $2,000 sight unseen for that CMax. (BTW: The engines last for ever because they only run about 2/3 the time they accumulate miles. There is a chassis battery in the back that needs changed. It is separate from the hybrid battery pack. Yes, it is a CVT trans, complex! The drive and hybrid charge are all in the trans.

Afterwards, I'd rock steady that car everyday with 90's Weather Channel music playing just for nostalgia!

Man, Randy. The moment I saw that Taurus, I said 1998 and I can’t believe I got it on the nose when you actually said the year itself. 😂. Then I saw the 24 Valve badge on it. I would jump on that quick, fast and in a hurry. A Duratec with less than 120k miles and well taken care of with just a busted fender. I take that any day. This is one I would say, “GET IT, GET IT, GET IT!!!!” I would be willing to pay up to $2.7k total for this Taurus. I’ll probably spend another $1k getting a few things corrected that I didn’t like in its current condition. As for that Ford Focus, I would also consider it up to about $900 total but it has a lot of body work to get it sorted. I’ll spend more to get it done compared to the Taurus and in the end I would enjoy the Taurus more. So for content, the Focus. But personally between the two, I’ll jump on that Taurus any day. I had a 1993 3.8 Essex V6 and a 1997 3.0 Vulcan V6. I always wanted a 3.0 Duratec 24 Valve V6 and could never get one because people wanted too much for them.

Yo what's up my man Randy , how you doin' , man I gotta say I loved that 2019 chevy silverado man I mean I know it cats are cut off but come on how can such a beautiful music , that roaring 5.3 be ignored Randy , ( looks like police chase and spike strips or Vandalism ) and most of all I'm sure you can afford bcos it will go dirt Cheap !!!!! Think about all four wheels and tires , then whichever suspension is damaged , straighten that fender or get a replacement one , and then I know what scared you the most on it was the steering not turning / responding at all , Randy I think its just the Rack and pinion not the frame , bcos if so the some kind of twisting would have been visible , so the Rack and pinion , oh yeah and the airbags so definitely have to be careful regarding the expense , but I think its a good one and what's more it's a 2019 and low miles , why not a brand new beauty like that , it can be saved Randy , perfect as a project for you in my opinion , man loved that Truck and it looks good in that pitch black color and seems to be a good optioned truck . So price wise , I think I would bid 12k - 15k $ on it bcos its 2019 and not a base but a higher option it is. Also loved that Ford focus its a body style I haven't seen much and looks good and love the interior of course , overall a beautiful car , good for buying for daily driving and for flip as well , so is the 98' ford Taurus on this Taurus I would BID UPTO 400$ MAYBE PUSH upto 450 or 500$ maybe , Randy good ones those both are. Idk about the C230 it definitely would be awesome as a Supercharged beast and for a 4 cylinder , a quick , fast , reliable car , Randy I don't care about that intake hose or coolant or oil cap, throw and replace and clean the interior and glue that gear box surrounding trim back on and done but I'm confused regarding its click and no start , so my guess is starter ???!!! mostly yeah but afraid like you if the engine is locked , but it does sound a lot like dead starter / solenoid , IDK!!! but if that's the case Randy its worth bringing it to the channel , otherwise not !!! Beautiful video Randy , well done . Stay safe and God bless.

My thought on the Chevy truck was that it may have been a theft recovery after a police chase and crash. I don't think you would go wrong on the Ford Focus. You could probably make a profit on that one. Good little daily driver. The Mercedes looks like it was rode hard and put away wet. No bueno! The Ford c-max sounds like trouble. That coupled with the hail damage would make me walk away. The Ford Taurus looks like a good candidate. Good condition other than the fender. Mileage isn't bad. Looks like it was maintained. At a decent price it's winner winner, chicken dinner. Just not a great fit for the channel. But sometimes, at the right price, things are too good to pass up.
