Flipping This $2500 Lexus GX470 For Profit $$$ Side Hustle! Disgusting Car Detailing Restoration

[@brm98]

$2,500?!?!?!? How, where, WHAT? That's an insane price with 150K on it. I'm lucky to find a 200K+ mileage for 5-6K.

[@dougbarton77]

Super hard to believe tbh

[@mikeFPS1980]

You’ll be surprised my father just purchased a ‘02 Lincoln Blackwood (87K) (private sale) pickup truck in mechanically great condition but the outside and inside of the car was a disaster dude had a hoard of dogs he paid like 5k for it and paid a professional detailer like 500 bucks to clean it up! He attempted to clean it himself but vomited a few times 😂 It’s extremely rare, my father works in the plaster industry and is alway in wealthy areas doing work and it seems that’s were you can sometimes find good deals!

[@SouthWestIron]

5-6k for 200k mileage? Where are those deals?

[@joshberry4813]

Salvage title?

[@derricksmith8978]

Yes looking at it bet the maintenance on it was neglected

[@jayyin88]

This price is unreal. I saw some with this kind of miles selling for nearly 10k.

[@alwyjahdhamy8094]

He did it for quick deal.

[@aidenspeyer2739]

Have you ever thought about using a pressure washer to spray out the floor mats once agitated? I’ve found It’s much easier to get all that dirt out initially, and then you can extract them dry

[@thefray123]

Always loved these older gx's very reliable hidden gems that drive great.

[@StaufferGarage]

I seriously need another one now for myself! They run forever!

[@collics1]

The flips are my fav videos. Best of both worlds.

[@jameelmusah1941]

The mint shine is an amazing product. You can clearly see it's cleaning power on those leather seats. Plus the combo of Biobreak and oxyclean on the carpet and mats! Truly satisfying to watch as always! Very rewarding flip!

[@StaufferGarage]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ml989]

That's the deal of a lifetime. That car with those miles cost 20k in my state. Ridiculous!!! Great find!

[@charlesputt8588]

Oh, man, I totally would have scooped that from you for $5k! I'm actively shopping those right now even though it'll be a few years until I buy one, and people around here (eastern PA) are asking 2-3 times that for the age and mileage. I guess I know where I'm buying my next car!

[@ActionhealerYT]

Keep doing these flip videos, they are my favorite videos, i follow a few other channels that do only flips and its so fun and relaxing to watch :)

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you like them! More to come!

[@cziegle3794]

​@@StaufferGarageYou should also check the date on the seat belt to the date of the car and see if they match. If the dates don't match, it means the car's been in an accident and the seatbelt replaced.

[@MrChuckwagon55]

$2500 is an INSANE deal. You did an incredible job as usual. Personally, I would keep that car it’s so nice (assuming it’s mechanically sound & been maintained). Mint Shine is the best stuff ever made. BUY MINT SHINE & change your life! 👊

[@davidxavier1396]

Why don’t you show the outside also? It’s kinda half ass detail to be honest. Anyone can shampoo a carpet and steam clean a seat. Skill really comes to bringing the outside back to life.

[@tylermartindale1205]

love the new flip/detail series you started, I hope to see more on the channel

[@StaufferGarage]

More to come!

[@Jurrachamp]

Idkw buts so satisfying to watch a good car detail. the steam cleaning is by far my fav part.

[@msdishydishful]

This was amazing. 👏 I love to see you making $ double time. KZbin and flipping! More of these please!

[@StaufferGarage]

Deal! Thanks for watching and I am also loving making these videos. Hoping it helps others make some coin too!

[@supersavingswithjennifer2036]

Omg the smell!!! We bought our used van for $2000 and had to drive with windows down the SMELL was awful! We detailed it ourselves just such a difference

[@StaufferGarage]

Well done on getting rid of the smell

[@BCTCanadian]

I couldn’t help noticing that the armrests were near perfect on the bottom but ruined on the top. Have you ever looked into swapping them from driver to passenger side which would essentially also “flip” them so the good side would be facing up?

[@rockinviper09]

Thank you for your videos bro. They really are inspiring. Considering where you started in your KZbin channel. It's really awesome to see your growth in views, knowledge, and tools. It's more work than people realize, you're awesome!

[@10cpaul]

Nice job! Helps that the materials were high quality to clean up nice.

[@RandomStoryTime02]

Being a GX470 owner, I would pay the $300 for him to detail my ride. Great job! Great video!

[@bcw686]

How do you like yours? Thinking about getting a really used one and keeping it. I know the gas mileage is really bad but how do you approach that vs an SUV with better mpg's?

[@RandomStoryTime02]

@PeakVibe TV howdy. Gas mileage is bad, but you don't go to big V8 SUVs for good gas mileage. Like any vehicle there are things you have to eventually fix, but I got it specifically for the 2UZFE engine. I would like to eventually get a smaller daily driver for gas mileage sake but will keep my GX forever. When a regional manager at Lexus tells you that they regret every day of their life without their GX470, then that's a sign. Good luck with your search. I have a few tips on buying if you ever need help. GX470 people are family and take care of each other.

[@bcw686]

@@RandomStoryTime02 I hear you can keep them forever and I sure hope that is true. Ever thought about the Ford Maverick hybrid for gas mileage?

[@RandomStoryTime02]

@PeakVibe TV I've seen it. Pretty neat. I would to stay in the Lexus / Toyota family.

[@mangquelhayes1426]

​@@bcw68612-15 mpg is all I get with mostly city driving.

[@Mommyfe1219]

It's a crazy insane deal and you did amazing... sorry but the extractions will always be my 🫠 favorite. I will sit there and watch a good extraction all day. Maybe take a couple slow passed on the dirtiest passes.. imo then again you do that in a few already so. It is what it is... just keep up your awesome just how it is. Your hard work is my stress free relaxation... THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!

[@arrobrewer2730]

Curious to how agressive the detail brush is. A short bristle fingernail brush always worked best for me for steering wheels and armrest. Nice work

[@Ceen328]

There are different options on amazon and co., ranging from VERY soft (leather and convertible tops) to really stiff.

[@leonardyoung5626]

These flip videos are dope! Love it. I want to drive it myself!

[@brandonmorris2513]

I have almost 500,000 miles on my 2003 GX! Great vehicles .

[@peterlam592]

God bless you.Well done! I must do the same thing .I am a mobile car detailing.

[@mds2465]

Great car and great clip! Keep 'em coming!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks, will do!

[@TriggerTravels]

I learned the hard way not to buy a smokers vehicle. You can spray... Steam...scrub...ozone machine until the cows come home. You will never get all that smell out.

[@lucas_souzaes]

It’s sad to see someone living on this mess… knowing it was a smoker only stresses how important it is to avoid addictions, folks! Stay healthy and safe 🙏🏻

[@rosssmith9941]

Frame is trashed that's why you're not keeping it 😂

[@frimmbits]

The flip videos are awesome.

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you like them!

[@odessahallmenefee]

Love the vids! Keep'em coming! Love your entrepreneural spirit, channel growth in content , viewership, tools and knowledge!❤❤❤❤

[@StaufferGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@gisellelovesjojo24]

Love these type of videos! I do have a request..if you can show us how you remove the seats and I know all will be a little different but I don’t know how at all and I want to deep clean under my seats.

[@malikdigger4544]

That little steam cleaner u use @ Stauffer Garage is fantastic breaking up dirt from interior seats & carpet in SUV.

[@Saint1384]

Yes, I love watching these flip videos

[@swiftlymobiledetailing]

Great video! I enjoyed the vaccuming process. Keep up the awesome work👍

[@amgonegaming9515]

I like these flipping videos along w just detailing. Great job 👍 🤌💖

[@mandizzlesrt]

How? You can't find a gx that cheap and the price you sold it for? Wow. That was also a steal.

[@yamilmelendez2667]

I love them videos but since u a Mechanic I would love to see you doo oil + filter plus spark plugs

[@barbeez2886]

Gotta say you are THE best in the field! Love your videos. I like the fact you don't talk a lot which is ok but can be annoying. You are so detailed and so respectful of the customer which is so important considering how embarrassing this would be for many. 👍

[@StaufferGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@TheGreatEscape77]

And thats why you always check the engine/ transmission before buying a car. Anybody can "detail" a car and suddenly its worth 3x more ??? Yea right. Check the car guys.

[@ericcarlson5587]

Sorry I haven’t watched in awhile. Been super busy. Love your channel. This came out perfect.

[@StaufferGarage]

Welcome back!

[@clausclausie7560]

Love the flips, brother.

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you like them!🤘

[@cks1713]

Good job on the transformation!

[@christianmolina2129]

Great job man love these videos keep up the great work!

[@steveshanabarger4108]

Change that cabin air filter!!! I see so many details on interiors and it often gets forgotten and the car will stink esp smokers cars.

[@ronb357]

Awesome....I never see the seat belt fabric get cleaned....great job

[@ghostchokersmith7070]

Yo. You got skillz!!!!

[@GXKid06]

What a steal, i flipped 4 2006 gx470s. My best one was one i got for 6 and sold for 18.5.

[@DavidOldenburg1]

It seems you could have sold it for more, but it's awesome your quick profit!

[@chaneybruton2912]

Here’s my vote for more flips🙋🏻‍♂️

[@nolakillabeast]

Absolutely loved that !

[@andrewtasch2299]

Disturbing someone would allow such a nice vehicle to get so gross. Bravo to you!

[@15super1ford]

When you put the leather conditioner on there after you steamed the seat just patcha from emperors new groove just peaceful watching the transformation

[@peterzeller5736]

Where do you get your vehicles? That’s a crazy deal on a gx470

[@trooper427ss]

Why don't you pressure wash the floor mats??🤷‍♂️ I figured that would loosen the dirt better.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Nice job. I plan on doing one of these detail flips in the future. It looked great afterwards. Where do you buy and sell these vehicles?

[@StaufferGarage]

Typically on fb you can find great deals if you can take the time to search and find them. Sometimes copart as well

[@ScrappersDetailing]

@@StaufferGarage Excellent. Thanks for the reply!

[@hokie9910]

Where I live that car would be 7-9k after it was cleaned up. I need to start buying cars out your way!!! $2500 buys a 2000 Camry that has been beaten into the ground around here.

[@shawnroberts9995]

First time seeing your content, well done and very impressive. Makes me want a steam cleaner, any recommendations for an entry level model ? Subscribed

[@StaufferGarage]

Harbor freight! Its the same one I use

[@prashanttimmapur9101]

Instead of sucking those nasty mats it would have been better to blast them with extreme apc along with pressure washer. That would reduce lot of time and results will me much better.

[@CristianGonzalez-ey7dd]

Probably auction for that prices and mile... with that mile usually is around 13-15k

[@clutchflutie8750]

This goes to show that good old fashioned hot steamy water is all you need for cleaning things, no need to pay crazy prices for soap mixtures

[@TristanLawson-c2l]

What are you doing with the old mighty 😂 I just don’t have the money to buy a new extractor was wondering what you were going to do with it and as usual awesome content always love you’re videos

[@82lenn]

Nice video nicer deal !!

[@michaelaustin5411]

Wow awesome job Stauffer Garage

[@user-hg4cp3gk5z]

The only other thing I might add would be to.swap all interior lights to led. Did that to my grand Cherokee and it made a huge difference.

[@beeslandscaping]

Looks amazing 🤩 👍🏻

[@coryhaynes6716]

Besides the world changing, hope giving, beyond belief transformations, I'm always looking to see how you upgrade your equipment, that mytee center is amazing, man, but I'm just wondering are the less than $200 steamers worth not just investing to an vapor rhino or any high-end steamers? Either way, I love the videos, I just need to stop playing and get an starter bundle at least, also loving that variety of content you have started to put out for the past 3-4 years I have been watching, the flipping is an nice touch, huge reminder to an detailer that needs another outlet but also sell an package called the sale booster lol keep on being the best.

[@brokeduece1691]

$2,500 for the GX470 is unrealistic. I just sold my 2003 GX with 230k miles and in worst condition for $5,500. My GX was sold in 3 hours of posting, I should have ask for more.

[@angelsimmons453]

Great job 😊

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks! 😊

[@musicbass4469]

How did you find one for only 2500 everyone that I've seen are over 10k here in Michigan

[@BitvilleAlpha]

I’m worried how the car got this dirty in the first place😩 But amazing work🙌

[@magarciaz20]

1. Keep the flip videos coming. 2. You ever worry something will fail mechanically after you purchase? I would love to try this but that would be my biggest fear.

[@Nick210]

It’s just the a part of the gamble. A good pre purchase inspection is key! Also minimize risk, if you buy something to flip don’t go driving it around or doing burnouts etc.

[@andrewperez5550]

How'd you clean the headliner? Thats where all the real smokey flavor is at.

[@toyotadiesel4970]

WTF, where is the justice in this world?! In my country where average salary is roughly 300-400$ a month you can't find a GX470 cheaper than 15000 usd no matter what the condition would be, a total road-wreck would be over 10k.

[@tylorforsythe1441]

Great job ❤️

[@davidwell686]

Very nice. Did not have to touch the headliner to remove smokers "yellow" ? and the smoke smell gone?

[@MystikBBOY]

After the work has been done, do you sell the cars yourself or sell them to a dealer like Carmax?

[@marcelodias4066]

Esse carro por ser interior s de cor clara e mais difícil . Ficou muito bom

[@johnlee9692]

GX470 for only $2500?? You realize that this is one of the best SUV's ever made... great job cleaning it up but you should have kept it for yourself.

[@tenring5414]

Wow that’s awesome I thought that was going to be a loss.

[@antcantmiss]

Do I need a specific type of drill for the carpets or will a $50 one from harbor freight do the job

[@StaufferGarage]

That would do perfectly fine. ITs more about longevity if you do it all the time.

[@Bennythecoredriver]

Those engines are bulletproof. I would have kept it. Lol Hold onto it for a bit and sell for $8k

[@EverydayInUa]

Oh this is really cool car even in our days. In Ukraine prices on this car starts from 19000$ in good running conditions and up to 35000 in perfect

[@tishwash08]

You didnt mention any of the mechanical actions in a flip. Do you detail and then sell without checking the car out?

[@Skullfire56]

Finding a Lexus in where I live in NYC for 2,500 on FaceBook Marketplace you’re going to get these 4 things. 1. It’s Stolen 2. Doesn’t run, needs a tow-truck 3. Posted as a collision car (accident) 4. The car in the video to flip (being extremely rare and lucky)

[@frankm8533]

Nice job great deal! Did anybody win the coin guess from last week?

[@potteris4everr273]

You keep selling out of product because it works that well. I’m trying my mint shine leather cleaner and conditioner on my car tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes!

[@Supinejewel]

This Lexus for $2500 with 152,000 miles and sold for about $5350, is actually worth $9400 according to KBB.

[@Paiadakine]

Something fishy here.

[@Supinejewel]

@@PaiadakineI'm assuming that not everyone is trying to make big money buying and selling, maybe that's why he sold it so cheap.

[@susie6842]

Nice job

[@abelcelestinjr8810]

Yea this type of video pretty cool

[@ryannrjohnson]

Do you post the vehicles you have for sale? Definitely was looking for a GX Lexus truck for that great price. I doubt I’ll ever let my LS460 or ES350 get that dirty on the inside but definitely know some people that could use that $300 detail.

[@MrChuckwagon55]

All of your products are light years better than anything else. They are game changers, the highest quality stuff I’ve ever used. My personal favorite is Mint Shine, but they are all the best there is.

[@scottjones8518]

That’s odd, the only 470s I can find for under 10k are either collision damaged or are north of 250k miles. I’m gonna call BS on getting this thing for 2500.

[@JorgeAlvarezOfficial]

Quick question, why wouldn’t you pressure wash the floor mats instead of going over with the vacuum several times?. Thanks for the videos!

[@amommyintime]

Wow !!

[@collingray1517]

That is a nice truck

[@ulisess.1278]

More flipping videos but with more detailing of the process before and after cleaning it!

[@ncd7184]

I think I would have just bought some weather tech mats and trashed the factory removable ones. Spending $200 when you can turn around and sell that for $9k isn’t a big deal

[@sargonoshana2324]

Exactly why bother cleaning the original mats

[@Delm21]

How do I determine which compound/polish I need to use. Lots of swirl marks some scratches. Black Mazda 2017
