Dealers CAN'T SELL Their Cars Anymore So They're DUMPING THEM
In this video you will get to see what car dealers are actually paying for their cars and trucks at auction!
My name is Brandon and I am a used car dealer. I created Car Questions Answered to share the ins and outs of the used car market from my perspective. I share with you updates on car prices, what's happening at the dealer auctions, and what it's like being a dealer. My goal is to share information to help you make the best decisions while buying a car to save you money. I do not want car dealers taking advantage of you.

@@m14lvr Dealerships only have themselves to blame for destroying their reputations and gouging customers. Car makers can get by with fleet sales so it's really the dealers that are in the biggest trouble.

The kind of money people want for very high mileage cars today is absolutely insane. They are all trying to convince some sucker that cars don't wear out any more. No thank you!

[@deanmitchell9568]

Great post

[@joanneburford6364]

That 'truck' sounded nice!

[@Hawkdriver511]

Car prices even at auction seems like insanity to me. 24k 4- runner with 100k

The padded floor cover in Jeep is for sound systems and good noise reduction

I recall asking the question decades ago when our government ‘waged war’ on our manufacturing infrastructure and middle income earners: “Who are the OEMs going to sell their products to after most of the jobs head out of the country?”

NAFTA started it all. And the deal was bipartisan. Who do you really think benefited from it? What a joke, we’re just seeing the end game.

That custom 2018 Jeep Wrangler with 65k that brought in $23.3k wholesale for $28k...Retail $33k(according to Edmunds)

That jeep was a real turkey - fake blue “4XE” tow hooks, aftermarket leather - a bastardized base Sport from 6 years ago is unsellable on a dealer lot. That was a generous trade-in for a new lease, I’m sure of it.

6:47 no the most common issues with them are the water pump and the alternator. If you don’t count of course the oil consumption issues). Literally have replaced like 2 coils over the years but I’ve replaced probably 20-30 water pumps and alternators in the same amount of time.

I just bought a 2000 Lincoln Town car with only 70,000 miles for only $3,000, elderly owned, a private seller with a clean title. If that was a dealer, they would probably charge around $8,000-$10,000+ for that same car. I just saw a 2002 mercury grand marquis at a dealership, trying to sell for $10,000 which is a lower valued car. That dealer was so desperate to sell it to me. He even said that he would pay the dock fee. I said to him, "nah" "good luck!"

Not cushion floorboards , it’s to dampen the tremendous road noise off those tires.

[@sarahstephens5966]

Nope, I'm running my second set of mud tires, they're not loud at all.

[@scottboyington9768]

I am so glad its over that's all you talk about this is a good thing the car industry is a bunch of crooks.

[@injohneer]

On the '95 4runner, you forgot about the 3.slo head gaskets... 🤣😊

[@luismurillo3226]

how much did the silver f150 sale for next to the 4runner do you now.

[@jasondavis1502]

These auctions still playin games.

[@twaters4827]

Would be nice to see some before and after pics of cars that go on the lot. I have no idea what amount of effort goes into putting auctioned cars onto a sales lot.

[@lucwilson1]

You gotta look for the hinge corrosion on those JLs. Big issue. Known and discussed all over the forums and FB groups.

[@josephlahn1711]

My foot - I’m seeing delivery charges on stickers for additional $1,500, packages charges and premium up-charges on lots full of 2023 units. I’ll wait till the nonsense stops before upgrading.

[@danc9440]

Good pullback on the 1995 4Runner. That was all the money. 2nd Gens are solid but had plenty of head gasket issues.

[@sarahstephens5966]

That was to help owners decide to V8 swap them.
