I'd jump on every Vibe you find that is in decent condition for the lot. I've bought four, one for each of my kids, and I owned an 03 GT that my BIL now has. Except for the one that was totaled, they are all running great with 96k - 250k miles on them. Keep up with the great videos, Randy!

[@gosportjamie]

That Jeep Liberty looks like it got wrecked and then was donated to a fire department to use for practicing rescue techniques on, hence why it's so thoroughly cut apart...

[@alanmaier]

Dang, Pontiac Vibes were popular in my area. People knew they are Toyotas but with the discount of a Pontiac dealer. Plenty still on the road, as you'd expect from a Toyota.

[@11094DEREK]

Popular in my area as well

[@davidrubin1895]

No toyota engine

[@cpufreak101]

same here, they're still pretty much everywhere where I live. Toyota Durability for ya

[@jarrodmcmillian1747]

@@davidrubin1895 yes theyre toyota engines....

[@davidrubin1895]

@@jarrodmcmillian1747 I stand corrected. Thank you

[@gosportjamie]

The Ford Courier isn't a Toyota, I'm pretty sure they were based on/pretty much identical to a late '70s Mazda pickup, the B1800 I think...

[@crzy4x4]

Toyo Kogyo (Mazda)

[@rickloera9468]

You are correct. Early 70s Mazda pickup.

[@davidnichols7485]

Had a 78 courier had a Mazda engine in it said Mazda on valve cover

[@clittle580]

Vibe is basically a Corolla. Will run forever with the 1.8L

[@clittle580]

@xrcrx ftfghjg incorrect. Vibe was manufactured alongside the Matrix which itself was Corolla derived at the former NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing Inc) plant in Fremont, CA. Fun fact, this is now the Tesla Motors plant. It could say Rolls Royce and it's still a Toyota. Pop the hood, everything says Toyota and Denso. 😀

[@clittle580]

@@peteypon2974 which itself was based on a Corolla. The first year Matrix waa called a Corolla Matrix then they dropped the Corolla moniker. Also, the Scion iM, now the Toyota Corolla iM/Corolla Hatchback. Same cars.

[@gosportjamie]

I think that generation of Mercedes SEC had the bonnet/hood safety catch above one of the headlights. It looks like an old person's car so it could be a deceased estate vehicle that has sat for a long time so the coolant could have just evaporate off out of the expansion tank...

[@TomBaddley]

The door panels in the Escape come with a vinyl panel in the middle. When exposed to humidity and heat, the adhesive deteriorates, and the panels fall off, leaving behind the remaining adhesive, which is what you were touching. Lots of Escape owners have this problem, including myself. I found 4 good door panels at my LKQ and replaced mine pretty cheap. I know you are a GM guy, but keep Escapes/Tributes/Mariners in mind, when looking for vehicles for the lot, though. The Gen 1 (2001-2007) models sell in the range you're looking for, and are decent little SUVs. The 3.0 is a pretty bulletproof engine, and the CD4e transmissions weren't all bad. I'm still running fine in my '03 with 124K. Not sure why that one lost R so early. If you find a 5-speed manual 4x4, you've hit jackpot. Finding one with the rear retractable cargo cover is quite rare. Even the 2010 Escape Limited I bought this summer had that missing. :/

[@calebjohnson1627]

the 3.0s are decent but they leak oil like crazy. every single one that rolls through my shop with more than 50k on the clock leaks crazy

[@ivang97997]

love to see more BIO "cars" :D

[@jeepcollector91]

I love that little Ford Courier (Mazda B-Series) pickup.

[@vairbob]

buy the cavalier and use the sunfire parts on it

[@MRMAYHEM1]

The camaro next to the Saturn looked nice

[@DaddytechEnt]

*The shit on the doors of that escape is the same shit that i've been bitching about people using for years now. they call it Carpet "DYE" but it's not dye at all it's just paint and what you're seeing on those door pannels is kind of what i see everytime i get another fucking vehicle to work on because some half ass detail guy didn't know how to clean the seats or carpet right so they run out and buy a bunch of cans of that dye shit and everything gets a ridiculous coating of the shit and the really bad cases end up like those door pannels. You can steam clean that shit back off of the interior with a really strong and hard core steam cleaner, i got a lot of it off of my leather cadillac seats in the first and only copart car i've ever had.(and of course we're keeping it) that drive around lot had a nicer looking Black 02-06 Cadillac ESV* (yeah i'm hooked on these things they are just really good solid vehicles) found it , easy fix and good money left on the bones for you still too. www.copart.com/lot/46675778

[@racerboy2212]

MB has aluminum heads and head gasket failure is prevalent on these. I have 3 1991’s, 2 560SEL’s & 1 560SEC. Be aware.

[@TeriCaboverKidd]

can you look at semi trucks next? Im kind of curious about them.

[@AlvinBrinson]

Houston Copart is MUCH busier than that. Constant forklift and truck traffic EVERYWHERE you have to run and dodge if you're on foot.

[@paullevy561]

Courier's were built by Mazda for ford. The Mazda bx000's were built for Mazda by Ford. Circle of life.

[@redriver15262]

The door for the Escape probably had the upholstery ripped off and thats just the dried up glue on the panel lol

[@TomBaddley]

Correct answer.

[@jayallen7368]

the Mercedes is super expensive to fix i had one about the same year a head gasket and bent value fuel injection cost me 16 thousand dollars to fix it it ran like a champ for 9 years now problems afterwards

[@kingrobertschultz2617]

On the mercadies pull the release lever again

[@atrahasis3899]

Regarding the ancient Ford truck; It's probably an early Mazda/Ford crossbreed. An ancestor of the eventual Ranger-Mazda trucks. I assume that's a Mazda four cylinder, air cleaner, under the hood with Ford alternator, steering, suspension, etc.

[@danmackintosh6325]

Uberman video notification Vs jake brake and Detroit vids... Hmm ,no contest! :D BTW on that 560SEC (one of my favourite old Mercedes btw, that's in the correct colour too) I think the emblem is supposed to double as the bonnet catch and that one was broken, guessing pliers saved the day there. Hope you get to hear it run later in the vid, gorgeous GORGEOUS cars fingers crossed you land that baby!

[@fillg]

That Jeep Liberty was probably in a collision with a Honda and there were parts all over the place and they got mixed together. That's how it ended up with a Honda wheel by it

[@quintonholzinger6359]

For the escape the original upholstery is missing from the door. The rough stuff on the door is glue. I only know this cause I have the same escape but it’s red.

[@mi777ke777]

The fabric on the door panel ESCAPED

[@bartlawhorn2762]

Buy that Ford Escape. $1,500 max. Easy fix.

[@hatchetmobile9280]

escapes r junk.

[@bartlawhorn2762]

234,422 on ours with zero issues. Scotty even said they’re a great dependable vehicle

[@crystalbutler8592]

We had 01 escape with manual transmission that had 317,000 miles when we traded it in for a new edge. It was still running.

[@jamiebattersby2160]

What rock do you live under never seen a vibe come on

[@gosportjamie]

I wouldn't touch that Saturn Aura, we got them in the UK as the Vauxhall Astra and they don't withstand low front damage like that at all well, the subframes are pretty weak on them and it can often also result in major distortion to the vehicle structure. I've seen a lot that looked a whole lot less bad than that one written off due to irreparable structural damage...

[@macjones9212]

also what to do with the sunfire wait until you find another sunfire and use the flood one for parts

[@chrisf7731]

Be cool if you bought a car from copart and turned it into a demolition derby car, that would be cool!

[@racer193wr]

Escapes suffer from clogged cats that are hard to diagnose and transmissions that grenade for no reason. Crap on rhe door looks like a brillo pad

[@sneakysnakepie1]

That's glue when the fabric fell off my ex girlfriends was the same way.

[@thedeadone9174]

Plz do some video's of the semi trucks

[@edanrene]

Pontiac vibe is the same as the Toyota Matrix.

[@11094DEREK]

Was that a Easter egg in the Mercedes? Cool car lol

[@That1towncar]

oo that old (dont judge me if i got this completely wrong) Camaro at the very beginning blue with the white stripes

[@williamlgolub1094]

Is that the Copart in Loganville, GA? I know they have several locations. My Thunderbird was taken there in January 2018 when it was totaled.

[@lueker31]

I hate working on cavaliers ..that dashboard sucks lol

[@scottjames9739]

Vibes are solid. My wife owned one and it would have made 250k miles easy. Was a joint project when Toyota was trying to teach Pontiac how to make decent cars in Fremont California factory. Apparently it didn’t help Pontiac. It’s identical and parts are interchangeable with Toyota Matrix. Also don’t normally watch the carnage portion of your lot tours, but that red Dakota pickup was indeed a jaw dropper.

[@jas4925]

The Fremont was a probletct between GM and Toyota constructed in the 1980's. The first product was a rebadged Toyota Corolla called the Chevrolet Nova I had one in college great car. Then GM started the Geo line they had the Geo Pirzm which was the next generation Corolla. GM killed the Geo brand in 2000 and they started making the Vibes all Corollas great cars.

[@chaoszombie9995]

The Vibe was a dull car, when I had my GMC Sierra I would always get them as loaners.. the 560 has a single carb V8

[@1964corvan]

uhhh..... vibes are everywhere around here....and on copart most go to Ghana in africa.

[@n977ll]

Hey...Mr car crusher is here!

[@rustystraya886]

That 70 or 71 camaro was cool and i am looking for a Mercedes Benz ml320 motor but in Australia

[@RattleTrapGarage]

You should get the 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28

[@kjlawless8010]

Escape is notorious for the cloth/viynl inserts to lose their adhesion from aging ! Somebody painted it ! lol

[@andrewcolsen]

Ford Courier was made by Mazda not Toyota. Toyota back in the day mainly worked with General Motors

[@Alexscott100]

The ford escapes and Mazda tributes have major issues with the cloth and leather inserts coming off of the door panels my aunt has a 2005 Mazda Tribute and the leather came off the door probably before 100,000 miles.

[@topspeedreviews]

Dude I literally saw a Ford Edge right behind that 2002 Ford Escape you were looking at. I thought you were going to at least mention me or something I guess.

[@jeepcollector91]

I was hoping for a walk around on that Ford E-Series 17:54 I plan to get another one soon to use as a parts donor for my E450 crew cab cutaway toy hauler project...

[@mariocesp]

Whats up with the white 4runner thay doesnt have wheels???? I have seen it in many videos.

[@GavinJLang]

The Mercedes hood latch was in the front Mercedes emblem on my 450sl

[@Zestypanda]

The liberty was a roll over. They cut the roof.

[@seanskinner9641]

Yes Fluid that looks that good is almost trying to hide a problem. Good eye

[@AlvinBrinson]

Problem with "cheap" cars is that the auction fees make it impossible to actually bid on a car that's worth less than $1000 without losing your shirt. You bid $500 you gon be paying $1000.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I'm doing it on every car and selling for profit every weekend.

[@Tyler-vv2vp]

Vibes are great little vehicles for cheap. But it looks like a Maaco Special

[@malibuss66]

the escape stuff on the door is probably undercoating from a can

[@tedharveyiii5194]

The cloth has come off the doors. It's a battle to maintain that portion of the door.

[@45AMT]

That caviler has a dirty engine bay from driving down dirt roads. You can see the red dust in the rear door jambs. Probably had to have new shocks after driving down washboard dirt roads.

[@davidhorne9984]

courier is a mazda b2000

[@stevenhoop9009]

How can that cavalier engine be so dirty at only 50k?

[@markgeise3125]

Or their driver side very top of the grill right there

[@45AMT]

Ford Courier was a joint venture between Mazda and Ford. Ford Courier/Mazda B2000 Some were made in Japan by Mazda.

[@Broadshore]

It's just a Matrix that been rebadge for GM sales.

[@memoryhunter2084]

obviously w126

[@jarrodmcmillian1747]

The escape. Taurus are like that too. Thats a cheap ford for you

[@the_circuit_man]

On most Mercedes-Benz models--the 560 SEC included--there should be a pull tab that sticks through the grille that you pull before lifting the hood. The one y'all saw seems to be missing that tab; it can be jury-rigged with a wire clothes hanger.

[@chevyman7021]

The vibe is actually a toyota matrix,and comes with lacquer paint,which oxidizes very easily, every white one I've seen has different colored panels due to the awful paint,most imports that are white are this way. Honda's are among the worst with the white paint oxidizing.

[@ProducerLare]

Nice Escape, unfortunate about the transmission! Typical with the Ford Escapes & Explorers...🔥I’ve owned 3 & ALL transmissions blew up on them!!🔥. I’ll never buy another Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury product because of this! ***GM ALL THE WAY!!!*** Thanks for another great video!👍👍

[@andrewkiwi1]

Ive done a lot of work on those v8 mercs over the years. You dont have many problems with head gaskets. You get worn timing chains and broken chain guides that will make it rattle , worn fuel distributors , leaky fuel pump and filters from crushed copper washers. The occasional waterpump and radiator and leaky heater core. Seized heater fan motors. other than that they are tough.

[@Ryan-hv6fq]

thats normal for a vibe they have really weird clear coat

[@chrislemaster2695]

That was an option on the Escape 1 genera nation usually came with the SEL and XLT package. FORD AOD FWD transmissions were junk .

[@kalebslife1]

this is making me wanna play beamng drive im gonna go play it now lol

[@adriannicholson8819]

the ford goes p for park n for night d for the day and r for race

[@MadxGamingx]

On the Ford Escape the doors are notorious for having the trim come off where it’s rough, the previous owner probably just finished ripping it off and that’s why it’s rough

[@gosportjamie]

I think the Pontiac Vibe has had a paint job done to sort the common issue of deteriorated white paint on GM vehicles, but it was clearly a bad paint job and probably cheap which could set alarm bells ringing as it suggests the owner didn't like spending money on their car...

[@alial-bayati6606]

I really enjoy when you make video in copart special the in a big accident to remind us to drive slowly and careful.. you're amazing thank you about all your video. .good luck 😍

[@littlepondfarm3488]

What microphone are you using? You should get one of those big fuzzy wind blocks for it. I'm sure they sell them on Amazon for cheap

[@jimmymckinness1939]

The Ford Courier is actually a Mazda truck. Ford didn't make there own small truck till the Ranger came out.

[@rshock7121]

Question when you complete rebuild car what kind of insurance do you carry on the car or what would you recommend for a customer? thanks

[@rainyreal6773]

Can’t Wait to see if he sold the Mercedes and it’s finally gone dam it was a nice car I liked it to bad I couldn’t buy it :(

[@Eburgdub001]

on any c126 benz grab where the upper corner of the light meets the down curve of the hood . two latches are there so both side have to be pushed in towards the grill

[@Alexscott100]

I know you have already uploaded the cars that you got but you should try and get the Aura

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I did but that is long gone now.

Ok awesome. Finally catching up with the content the hurricane Michael hit my area and we have been with out power until today so 4 days so again finally catching up. Awesome content as usual

Looks like you found Patrick Swayze's Mercedes from the movie Roadhouse. 560 SEC

[@williamdavis3950]

On the doors there were cloths on it someone ripped them all off. That’s what u get underneath. My wife had one same deal.

[@Daa253]

21:24 There was once a recall for those where the gas tanks would explode. It was burnt and there was a bulge on the roof so it looks like it exploded.

the badge on top of the bonnet on the marshady

[@nycdan95]

I sent you pics on IG, I'VE seen those escapes with over 400,000 miles like many of them

[@ethancedrik]

Mazda had something to do with the Ford Couriers, that's why it has mentions of Japan, etc. in there

[@michigander1998]

I had a white pontiac vibe like that one and the paint was the same way. Car was never in an accident, but was just like that one.

Mid 2000's ford, if it wasn't thoroughly maintained I'm not touching it.

The stuff on the doors of that escape is where it originally had cloth trim by all pilled off it’s very rare to find an escape or a Mazda tribute with original cloth trim
