Dealers CAN'T SELL Their Cars Anymore So They're FORCED To Do This!
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.

I have zero condolences for dealers. They have spent the last 4 years jacking vehicle prices to outter space so if they can't make money now then tough shit.

[@fakshen1973]

People have taken a huge hit on rents and house prices. A new car is a luxury of you already have another in working condition. The dealers are going to find out over the next 5 years that people can't afford their products.

What's funny as fuck is they are actually destroying themselves as we speak. The people they fucked over with high interest insane car prices; those are the ones they are trying to repo from. Instead of modifying the terms of the loan so the car is actually affordable they are just stealing back cars that turn into clunker pieces of shit. Dealers are actively fucking themselves over by fucking over their clients. A very smart dealer would go back to the manufacturer ask what their profit margin is and work with them to reduce the amount the manufacturer is willing to take. Car makers shouldn't be making cars that cost more than $60,000 unless it goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds and has a top speed of 150 + mph don't sell that shit like it's a super sport, when it's a super piece of crap. Manufacturers fucked over dealerships, dealerships fucked over banks, and the banks rolled all of that fucking over into one stinky pile of crap that they call a consumer loan. It's all a clusterfuck and the only way anything will ever get back on track is if the dealerships help their customers rather than hurt them. The dealerships need to take the hit from the bank and from the manufacturer and fight for their customers, for cheaper rates and an emergency halt on repo's and monthly payments. They need to retroactively offer good deals while they can. They don't need or want the inventory of pissed off customers that are A: going to run from the repo. B: Going to trash the car C: Dealerships are going to have to spend more time energy and money fixing up and re-selling the repo'd cars then it's worth. When it's all said and done they'll find a customer who is going to demand a fair price anyways. They could save a few unecessary steps and just inform the consumer that they are going to get treated right.

I love your comments at 17:23. I am in California and last year I had an appointment at the DMV to renew my license. There are a lot of weird things that California state employees do while they are supposed to be working. In my case a DMV supervisor walked over to the clerk who was giving me the renewal paperwork had difficulty standing up. She was so drunk that she slipped and another clerk grabbed her so she wouldn't be injured. Why didn't this supervisor reach out to garb something so she could stabilize her fall? Because she had a drink in each hand while talking and walking, pretending to work while drunk. The other clerks seemed unaffected and was able to complete my paperwork. I did see one blind man ( white cane with red tip) trying to guess the correct eye chart letters. This is California where a fast food worker gets paid $20/hour = $41,600/year!

The government is bloated. The politicians are right. If those morbidly obese lazy people at the DMV did anywhere near the amount of work a normal blue collar worker does every day, the DMW in NC would work just fine.

I'm not a business man, nor a driver, but I listened to your video hoping it would feed me information regarding the economy (as far as cars are concerned). Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like this trend has been getting worse, and lowering the values of autos. I'm sorry about the hassles you're going through with registrations, and I know it must be frustrating to take losses on your inventory. I wish you the best of luck in navigating through any recession.

I love it! This is about reaping and sowing!

thanks for your hard work

Old cars, high miles, high prices.

You can replace all that leather on the Denali for 2k, with factory oem color

[@lbaker3602001]

In Missouri, they want that money as fast as possible. So they streamlined it as much as they could.

[@danielflinn3571]

Thanks for the look from Australia

[@tominidaho2768]

consumers set prices, not dealers. Something is only worth what the buyer is welling to shell out for it. This flip back to that needed relationship needed to happen.. consumers were insane for awhile... $70-$80,000 for a new truck, are you nuts. Even if you had the cash...It's a truck...??? Stop it ,get some help.

[@dave3657]

In Kansas they replaced the computers in the DMV. The new computers sucked so bad they went to an online appointment system. So much better, in and out.

The cover over the front of the Toyota in the front is called a car bra.

[@ccrider8483]

I have heard those referred to as a, "clear bra".😊 I am assuming it was a clear vinyl wrap.

[@timothyweers8054]

@@ccrider8483 usually they are like a black leather.

Sorry about the wait you had to go through to get your license renewed. Here in Minnesota, they started making appointments at the DMV. It's the best thing they've done in decades. The last time I had to go there, I was in and out in under 30 minutes. It was wonderful!

[@ilollipop100]

I'm loving that you have cars on your lot again. Could you give us a tour some time?

[@Rhondaandjames]

Its called Stoneguard or paint protection film. Toyota's are notorious for it. I had to paint my entire hood on my Lexus when it got so ugly I peeled it off.

[@shattuckaii]

There's a reason that Audi was only going for $400. Stay away!!!

[@motorcitymadman146]

The market is going to change. Most people are in a depression. Very few people have money or credit to spend 1000+ a month on a car. You have insurance, plates ,gasoline. Something is going to have to change. Manufacturers are going to have to accept less profit. Or cut slash and accept lower earnings. Dealers are stuck in the middle of CEOs who can't relate to being broke and the people that are broke

[@user-zi5oq7oq1u]

If dealers have been ripping people off for years. It's about time they get their come up ins.

[@jackblack3886]

Thank you for the video! Great, as always. We can see & feel your pain at DMV. The system is designed by people who don't have to use it. Kind of same as politicians who don't have to follow the rules they force on us.

[@robertclubs9908]

Awesome show my friend.

[@nealruth664]

The local auction lot around here is so packed with cars it's bizarre. They are just not selling.

[@James-nz7ml]

Sounds just like the service from the Wisconsin DMV .... always plan on 3 to 4 hours ....

[@hochhaul]

I do all my stuff online. WI closed too many DMV locations to bother with in-person stuff.

[@gemeinschaftsgeful]

Pressure cracks. Ouch!

[@surlyogre1476]

First minute... it's not easy being green.

[@SM-if4nz]

In Montucky, I mean Montana you can either show up a 6AM and be first in line, or be there within the first hour and get a number and come back four hours later. Usually, all the numbers are pulled within the first hour. There is a guy for $20 - $50 will pull you a number to get you in line for later

[@chancepaladin]

"we checked the jeep and it came back with 48 codes, which is weird because the dash can only show 12, but oh well, THIRTYFIVE DO I HEAR THIRTYFIVE CODES, FORTY FORTY CODES! I MEAN DOLLARS.

[@GenXGrown]

Brandon, great video and thanks for the great content. Question, has it ever happened or a possibility that a dealer could actually get more from auction than selling on thier own lot ?

[@user-hf2ye5dt9h]

Good question

[@fredmacvenn8525]

The cover for the hood is called a jock strap it helps keep rocks from chipping the hood.

[@misterwhipple2870]

They used to call them Bras.

[@horrorislander]

Government, eh? Sorry that they did that to you, Brandon. No, we don't know each other. I just felt like you needed someone to acknowledge your very understandable frustration.

[@iowahank1]

It certainly looks like you can use mail-in for your renewal. At least the website points in that direction.

[@Boodieman72]

The Audi with the 2.0T might an engine update as there was a huge oil consumption issue with the original engines.

[@kenarthur6253]

Maybe dealerships will be forced to be honest? Nah. That's impossible 😂

[@SilverSidedSquirrel]

Ask Florida how that's going 😂

[@timkis64]

dont forget about that big check you have to give them to renew your paperwork.
