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

[@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!

[@jayyin88]

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

[@alwyjahdhamy8094]

He did it for quick deal.

[@collics1]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@ml989]

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

[@tylermartindale1205]

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

[@StaufferGarage]

More to come!

[@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.

[@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?

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@Jurrachamp]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@peterzeller5736]

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

[@mds2465]

Great car and great clip! Keep 'em coming!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks, will do!

[@brandonmorris2513]

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

[@odessahallmenefee]

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

[@StaufferGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@frimmbits]

The flip videos are awesome.

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you like them!

[@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 🙏🏻

[@swiftlymobiledetailing]

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

[@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

[@amgonegaming9515]

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

[@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.

[@Saint1384]

Yes, I love watching these flip videos

[@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!

[@christianmolina2129]

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

[@peterlam592]

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

[@musicbass4469]

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

[@ericcarlson5587]

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

[@StaufferGarage]

Welcome back!

[@davidwell686]

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

[@malikdigger4544]

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

[@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!

[@clausclausie7560]

Love the flips, brother.

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you like them!🤘

[@mandizzlesrt]

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

[@nolakillabeast]

Absolutely loved that !

[@cks1713]

Good job on the transformation!

[@ghostchokersmith7070]

Yo. You got skillz!!!!

[@beeslandscaping]

Looks amazing 🤩 👍🏻

[@andrewtasch2299]

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

[@yamilmelendez2667]

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

[@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

[@Delm21]

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

[@trooper427ss]

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

[@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.

[@angelsimmons453]

Great job 😊

[@StaufferGarage]

Thanks! 😊

[@tylorforsythe1441]

Great job ❤️

[@82lenn]

Nice video nicer deal !!

[@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.

[@ronb357]

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

[@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.

[@marcelodias4066]

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

[@michaelaustin5411]

Wow awesome job Stauffer Garage

[@tishwash08]

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

[@MystikBBOY]

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

[@chaneybruton2912]

Here’s my vote for more flips🙋🏻‍♂️

[@lilliethornton9353]

That was a nice profit you made off that car. And besides that, you detailed the hell out of that car. 🤗 🚗😳

[@Dee--Jay]

Whats that wipe on stuff you used on the headlights?

[@andrewperez5550]

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

[@chadk7453]

Do you disconnect the battery before taking the seats out?

[@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.

[@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!

[@frankm8533]

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

[@GXKid06]

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

[@littleseoulboyz068]

What is all the equipment you used ?

[@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.

[@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!

[@accordxtc319]

Great flip, any reason not to take it a step further with fixing the outside. The rims could have been an easy repray to increase the look and profit on the vechicle. Maybe next one?

[@silasquinonez4692]

Please share a link were you post your for sale vehicles.

[@eman3742]

How often do you change the drill brush or do you just clean it?

[@StaufferGarage]

Just clean it! I beat the crap out of my tools and the drill brushes I carry have never failed. www.foxclean.com

[@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.

[@amommyintime]

Wow !!

[@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

[@rosssmith9941]

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

[@DavidOldenburg1]

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

[@josuerodriguez8231]

Hey lad, if you would do this for a client, how much would you charge??????

[@jeremydenny8752]

How much money did you find in camaro?not sure if i missed you saying. Thanks

[@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.

[@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.

[@CristianGonzalez-ey7dd]

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

[@billtaglia2865]

Anything done to the exterior? A quick wash, paint protection and spray ceramic coating?

[@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.

[@susie6842]

Nice job

[@victornafwa2471]

A day was enough to clean that car not a couple of days. Nice job

[@gclowne174]

is there a way to remove embedded dust from windhield apart from clay?

[@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.

[@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

[@abelcelestinjr8810]

Yea this type of video pretty cool

[@tenring5414]

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

[@JosrRocks]

how do you get rid of the dirty extraction water?

[@ryanazevedo2237]

Does hot water make a worthy enough difference when using a carpet extractor??

[@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.
