Copart $500 Car Purchases - 94 Olds Cutlass Ciera Wagon 1 Owner

[@baldhead7705]

Supercars is not in most people's realities, sure not mine or anybody I know. I like that you deal in everyday cars keep doing what you're doing, Randy..

[@farmerandy82]

Totally with you! The reason I follow this channel is cause he focuses on stuff I can afford (after some saving)

[@01trsmar]

I dont even like SuperCars to me they are ugly !! I enjoy my Hellcat Challenger and classic Mopars... *Back in the Day Supercars were Charger's,Cuda's,Chevelles,Torino's,GTX,GTO,442,GSX,RoadRunner,Super Bee those are Supercars I like ..not the modern door stop looking cars they have,not my thing !

[@sylc6688]

Same, also as a french those car are exotic for me :D, I would be super bored if it was another channel with supercar, I'm more interested in what I could buy.

[@koolgamer3432]

I like watching this channel because I know I can afford stuff he buys I watch people like b is for build be as I wishes I could afford cars like that lol

[@BlackLocustPatriot]

@@koolgamer3432 I agree with all of you. Randy, please keep making the videos about cars WE CAN AFFORD, just like you have been. I enjoy this stuff more than super cars, because it is realistic for me.

[@chasingmountains700]

RANDY: you hard working man, now this is a great video, i love these 500 $ flips, no one else is doing it, this is your thing, do it more

[@Marlon_J]

I agree!

[@rasz]

do you know why no one is doing this? because it makes no sense once you start paying taxes/rent/wages

[@stevennndeleonnn6726]

I agree with you, maybe other people don’t like his channel but we his fans love his videos.

[@pijvestiemel]

Never thought i would say this.. But thank god its not a wrecked lambo!😏

[@markvsmachine5546]

Ha thats funny

[@pijvestiemel]

I am revering to dozens other youtubers who suddenly all have a wrecked lambo as a fixerupper..be original!!

[@somethingaim]

My dad drives a '91 oldsmobile cutlass ciera sedan as a work car everyday in 2019 with 300,000 miles also with no issues. Great cars and we both loved this video.

[@navio9126]

This channel is about reality and daily driven cars... and this what I like about it. keep doing what you like to do Randy.

[@tyronebateslibra9435]

That wagon you don't see many of those, only an true car person appreciate rare vehicles. Worth keeping around.

[@Jimpenny]

That rear deflector on the wagon helps keeps dust and rain off the window

[@jordanjohnson7264]

Older cars are far more simple and fortunately lack all the complex electronics. Thus, making them far easier to troubleshoot and sort out. I'm with you on this and think it's a great idea and potential moneymaker.

[@Microjoey02]

That car with that privacy shade would be a teenagers dream, just park in the back after a movie and climb into the back😂

[@littlepondfarm3488]

Hey Randy, I appreciate your content just as much or even more so than the channels that are rebuilding supercars. Honestly I've learned more from your videos than any other channel and it's information that I actually use on a day to day basis rather than just how to change the quarter panels on a Lamborghini Hurrican, a car that I will never touch in my lifetime. I've been a subscriber since Uberman, and your story and progression has been awesome! congrats on the new shop!

[@FIXBROZ]

True, this channel is known as the cheap car channel. If he starts rebuilding lambos then the channel will never be the same again but he would get a lot of views and subscribers.

[@ardillasecreta]

Between this channel, and Vehcors, normal people can learn normal people things! :D

[@45AMT]

@@ardillasecreta Vehcor is awesome!

[@denniscampbell5590]

Not into supercars. If I was I wouldn't be here watching this channel. I prefer average everyday old and newer modern cars that everyone can afford.

[@Robertsmith-xl9ix]

Great progress Randy, I feel you are doing the right thing in starting with cheaper fast turn around oldie cars to establish your new shop, congratulations , I wish you a lot of success !

[@Marlon_J]

Randy just please continue doing what you are doing. A lot of other KZbin channels have become so generic as everybody is buying the same kind of cars and doing the same kind of build. You get the sense that if you've watch one you've watched them all. Your channel on the other hand is very unique as not many channels are focusing these old cars. Lot of us out here love it!

[@TheCherrybomb05]

I prefer the style you have Randy. I love seeing cars that regular folks like us can buy being repaired! Forget the people telling you to buy a super car. As you’ve mentioned a few times, you bring back life to these cars! Most of these Copart cars are headed to a junkyard or partout facility. Keep up the GREAT work Randy

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Randy, cheap quick flips are always where the money is. Larger buying pool, lower risk. Been doing it for a decade and I’m living large from it.

[@michaeldilorenzo8464]

I like your channel Randy. You are showing what a person can do with little money. You are doing what anyone can do with some determination. Your channel is for everyday folks that wants to do this work to make money or buy themselves a good car on the cheap even if it means to put a few dollars into it. This is the way car lots use to get started. Keep up the great work. I miss the car business so much. Your channel brings back so many good memories for me.

[@carsonmullins1613]

I love your channel for what it is, and that’s rebuilding older, PRACTICAL cars. Don’t ever change. Btw I dropped a like on this video before I even watched it because, ya know...it’s one of your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@jordoncripps8572]

I personally like your channel BECAUSE you aren't out buying super cars. Keep up the great work Randy

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Identical to my 1990 Cutlass wagon...also a 1 owner with original title...love it!!!

[@benc6614]

Good on ya Randy, keep on doing you man. Love being with you on the journey to great things. Cheers from Australia.

[@Ricamundo]

The Olds wagon is a geat buy. Someone, say a single parent with a couple kids, wants an SUV but can't afford one. There's the alternative. A lot of people over 40 may have grown up in the back seat of one of these wagons. TBH, if Randy never bought a supercar, and stuck with everyday cars, i'd be quite happy with that. All the rebuilds focussing on muscle/supercars, i call it the "Tavarish Effect". :)

[@scottkrafft6830]

More like wants an SUV, can't afford one, wants a Minivan, still can't afford one, here's the alternative. Still though, I'm not bashing on it; would make for a QUICK flip here in Chicago considering all the poor families around here that just need something.

[@degeneratewinners]

Glad to see the channel growing. That cutlass should flip quick.

[@andrewlaw]

I'd buy that Cutlass in a heartbeat. Super flexible, lovely condition, a real comfy armchair of a car. The fact it has no fake wood down the sides makes it even more attractive. No Griswold mobiles for me!

[@johnguerard1355]

I wasn't on board with you selling the C3, but I have to admit you are stretching that money nicely. Unfortunately you have to pay to play, so selling the C3 was a necessary evil. I've been a subscriber since the very early uber days and I have no plans to leave. I've been riding this long, no chance of leaving anytime soon either. As always another spectacular video and content that I've grown to love. Btw I've noticed your video and editing skills have increased a million times over in these years. Your top of the game in my book. Thank Randy, Jessica, and Tim for all you do for us your viewers.

[@brettpawlak7999]

Real cars for real people. Glad to see you back to fixing these up. You can get a $5000 car anywhere.

[@kevindllard6945]

Just saying I actually enjoy watching a channel that is honest and doesn't build a supercars every week, its different and I appreciate it.

[@michaelclutton8446]

Hi Randy, I find your older cars much more interesting than the flashy so called super cars, your a hard working guy hope you can make a success of this Regards Mike in the UK

[@norbkowa]

This brings back memories of 90s. My first car in 1997 was a 1988 Cutlass Supreme with 2.8 engine and it was great car. My dad wrecked it otherwise i would still have it just for memories. Shame Oldsmobile is gone and i had over 10 of them and still own 2. Love your channel.

[@dantx4545]

Keep doing everyman's cars that is what most of your viewers are like others said these are the cars we drive around everyday keep doing your thing I speak for many we love your channel!

[@johncox1983]

I personally love your channel because you do everyday cars. Supercars are all over KZbin. Very few channels give everyday cars a second lease on life like yours.

[@kayla11361]

No need to apologize, you have come a long way since you started your uberman channel. You are doing very well with yourself and just keep going on with you are doing.

[@DumroeseNation]

I appreciate your channel more than the supercars because this is real. I can compare. We just bought a copart fusion and now its my driver. I can totally relate to the money also. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!

[@Webhead787]

I owned a 91 cutlass ciera during high school it was a good reliable car.

[@BigHueJanus]

Check your dash cam. Most newer dash cams have a "crash feature" based of an internal G-force sensor that will data lock (forbid over recording) of the time and incident for a few minutes before and after and store it in a locked file so it cant be erased. Also if you want, I own a security company that provides, among the standard security, fire, cctv and access - mobile fleet monitoring. Its really super cheap and you can install it yourself since I know you're mechanically inclined. We sell them to everyone from construction companies to rent-to-own lots. If nothing else I can give you free info on how to do it yourself. LOVE that wagon! I would try it at $1995 for sure. Its worth $1500 all day and on Sundays. If you were closer, Id take it, but shipping to me would double my costs. Maybe ask your dealer if you can make your front area his official lot #2 and stick yours out front under his name? Also for tax reasons, buy a $500 car every so often and give it to charity or donate it to a non-profit. They will write you a receipt for fair market, so you can balance profits AND bless the needy.

[@itsleylaandmark8310]

You’re going in the right direction to make a success for yourself. Brilliant videos you do and I’ll be continuing to watch. Keep up the great work randy!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Moped-garage]

i really like this channel its one of my new favourite things to watch. really love seeing the carnage its incredable. happy i stumbled across your channel. id love to see you rebuild more cars when you can. keep it up. im in New Zealand so your channel is loved all over the world

[@markturner2646]

Congratulations on the shop Randy I've been following your channel for quite a while now and you deserve it you work harder than any other channel I know good luck !!!!!!

[@vinniemadrox]

Dude, you're doing frigin great. That wagon and prius will sell stupid fast, you'll make your money back in no time. And the red seabring doesn't look like it will take much to get it back looking decent. Really proud of you man!!

[@wwz1011]

Older F150s like your Supercrew and the Harley Edition are right up the alley for most viewers. Forget the super cars.

[@tn15_]

I'd much rather see you build a classic muscle car than a modern super car because it's clearly what you're more comfortable and happy with. Something like a 70's Camaro or Chevelle would be awesome to see. Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't see anybody on KZbin doing that.

[@Adam-lv4ho]

Love your channel man!! It's doing really well! Keep up the good work man. You've got to be one of my favourite channels.

[@tazmod7272]

My friend still has my ‘95 Ford Taurus. He and his wife are in their ‘80’s and on SSI. He said to me if I ever decide to get a newer car he wanted to buy my Taurus. He knew I took care of my vehicles. I don’t normally sell to friends but I knew my car was in great shape and I knew he took care of his cars. There is a market for the older cars.

[@Ridgeroader]

I had a 1989 version of this wagon. 110k miles and the timing chain broke. I loved that car. I live in snow country and that car went anywhere I wanted. Great car. Comfortable ride.

[@curtisryan6911]

Randy, i love the simple easy to flip cars you are doing. Please try to show process through till sell! Dont listen to the negative. Keep doing what you are doing, ill stay tuned! Your right on track.

[@45AMT]

That Cutless is a big win! It's in fantastic shape Very clean under body! Screw the haters if they're bored with your channel they're not a real car person or a real fan! Keep up the good work! Hell you've built a full shop in a week! that's an accomplishment!

[@Fredfjs78]

Keep do you Randy. Ya I like watching some of the other channels but I much rather watch your content with every day cars that we all can purchase and flip. Thanks for the awesome content brother.

[@Senseless-vf3dp]

Keep doing what your doing, you still keeping it real life for most people that live paycheck to paycheck.

[@TejasToolMan]

seen enough of the so called "barn finds" & supercar flips find builds over the years, this channel is pure realism =)

[@richwelch5823]

Your channel like Big Al is all about the grind. I respect the grind. Good job. 2700 for the lift with installation sounds pretty good. Free sounds nice too

[@quattro4ever629]

I do like your videos becouse you buy old cars. They are alot simpler and reliable. And its beginning to get boring with people that have lambos and such on youtube

[@ezrabegin8234]

OldStyleAudi agreed

[@jordanjohnson7264]

Agreed. While it's nice on other channels to see them buy and rebuild fancy supercars, it's refreshing to watch someone buy and sell realistic stuff. Anybody could do this to some degree. 👍

[@jacksimmons4843]

That Olds is a great score, yes solid transportation and basically a classic at this point....there is a market for those Malaise era vehicles...1973-1995 for the memories of being shuttled around to school and activities now get to relive for our kids now they are our age when these cars were new! Keep buying these cars! Love them!!

[@skyjammer]

The 3.1L is a GREAT motor. The biggest issue that I ever had was around the same mileage....one day my wife told me “the motor is making a weird noise” on a 60 mile trip home. I crank it when she got home and immediately heard awful valve clatter. Shut it off and found oil EVERYWHERE underneath.The lower intake plug (think where a distributor would’ve gone in the past) fell out and allowed almost all of the oil to leak out. It didn’t even register on the dipstick! Got it repaired, added 4 quarts of oil, and drove it another 100k miles. I owned another that also went over 240k without an issue! Just great, reliable motors! That cutlass should have a $2000-2500 asking price and settle for $1800. At $1500....that’s a steal!

[@kadengoddard3161]

I love that old wagon so much, really wish that the old cars in my area weren’t in such bad condition from the winter because I would love something like this.

[@mv3780]

I just realized you are up to 144,000 subs man. I think you had like 28,000 when I first started watching. Enjoy your content man. And I like the new garage. Can’t wait to see you do a super car!

[@Shane-Singleton]

The every day car flips, rebuilds, and part outs are what pays the bills. Those are the bread & butter.

[@thanchon1]

I worked for the General right out of grad school when this bad boy was made. These cars were beasts. Great buy.

[@ButchGuy78]

Great job building your own brand. I say brand because that is what you've done and that's a good thing. I personally watch you because you do everyday cars like a Oldsmobile and the Prius. It interests people because they have owned a car just like that. It brings back memories and helps people realize 'Hey I can go buy a cheap car and tinker with on the weekends and maybe make a couple buck's ' That's your brand. Watching your videos made me get a membership to Co Part.

[@616civicmt8]

Keep doing what you’re doing randy, I love your channel because it’s not all about super cars. You have the best channel out there!

[@geoffgrech6725]

Love your full disclosure on how your building to a great channel. Randy time a persistence will make you great. Don't worry about those who want Supercars now. Keep going the way you are till your cash flow grows. Hopefully those who have premature expectations will understand and learn what it takes to build up and those who don't will move on to channels that have already done the hard yards. Some cars as you know just need to be saved with out a lot of profit. Randy please don't go down the smashing cars up lane it's not what your channel is about. Also for liability purposes don't let just any one in your workshop especially once you start making some serious Money. You will get targeted. Love what you do grow and prosper. Take Care Little Aussie Follower.

[@midnightgambler3718]

That V6 Celebrity/Ciera is a great car for the money, and will sell for an easy 2K after a good cleaning, any car with working air is worth 1500

[@richsweeney1115]

No, some cars aren't worth 1500...but I agree, I had an 89 celebrity I got from my grandmother, I ended up selling it eventually, because even though I take care of my cars well, and went to the car wash a lot , and washed the body and underbody..the rust still got to be too much, I live in NH..it only had 88k miles when I sold.it

Randy I love watching your video. You inspired me in so many ways. We’re not all fortunate to have all The money in the world but we are able to build ourselves from the ground enough. And I hope to open a shop of my own one day like yourself.

[@0386rm]

Randy, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your $500 cars. That Ciera is absolutely stunning! I'd buy it. You just don't see cars like that any more that aren't completely rotted away. I've even registered on Copart myself(not to buy to flip) but to see if I can find that off the wall car that isn't in rough shape and can drive under it's own power. I think you're a very humble guy and I agree with you about your rant about the people complaining you don't have any super cars, there's plenty other channels that just specialize in those.

[@jesusbrito59]

Keep up the awesome work! Good luck with the shop. Looking forward to more videos!

[@JDR253]

Hey Randy keep up the great work. I've learned a lot from your blogs. Heading home to Nashville from PA tomorrow to hopefully fix by Copart #4 and #5 purchases.

[@roygunter3244]

I had a 97 Chevy Lumina with a 3100 in it and sold it with 235,000 miles and I did have to have the intake manifold gasket changed and the A/C compressor was bad but the car was absolutely bullet proof. I got around 29 on the highway and about 26 around town. The Olds you have will do great for someone and they could expect another 100,000 miles without much problem.

[@iliaslamari7315]

*I really like the fact that you buy affordable cars that are easy to flip!* _Here in the Netherlands because of the inspection, it's hard to do._ If the MoT isn't valid anymore, then it's a pain in ''the you know where'' to solve it. Without MoT is worth nothing if it is a clunker. Only good for parts or derbys. Getting the MoT requires getting it inspected, then it probably fails. Fixing al the requirements like brakes, tires, suspension, rust, lights, and emissions of course. And finally getting it checked again. Here you're better off buying something that's worth some more and desirable. Like a classic, sportscar or SUV. Keep saving these further classic's and clunkers Randy!

[@blakeherzner3493]

I love the channel just the way it is. Keep up the good work.

[@robp8218]

Anyone can buy a supercar, not everyone does what you do. Very interesting and original content. Keep doing what you're doing, ignore the haters.

[@lirr408]

I had one just like that 94 Cutlass wagon. Mine was a 1996 that I picked up from Suffolk County Auction on Long Island for $300 in 2007 and it lasted me 5 years then I traded for a 2011 Impala from Enterprise. The Cutlass was a great wagon. If the lines were not rotting out, I would have kept it.

[@midnightgambler3718]

Super cars be damned, this content is what we want to see. Those other channels do the unreachable cars too often as it is

[@weaton25]

I also love the Cutlass old enough not to have to many computers in it looks to be rust free who could ask for more for a family car should get at least 1200 for it and with luck even more.

[@beatglauser9444]

Finally you bought a really good car without problems for a bargain price! Big station wagons are getting rarer and are extremely practical vehicles. Here in Switzerland you would sell this car for 3 grand within a week!

hi Randy, I agree with Todd below. You do a wonderful job of explaining things, which has given me a tremendous insight on the used car market. Your formula is different for this channel than supercar channels, I can watch Tav or others for that information. I like the Prius, Oldsmobile, old pickup trucks, Impalas and other stuff featured on your channel. I think you should continue with regular cars, I also believe that the cars you have sold will provide the buyers with good transportation. In some cases you might consider doing more work, like fixing the batteries in the recent Prius. Your choice, and I also understand your decisions. Wishing you continued success, you have nailed down some very interesting content.
