How I bought a Subaru STI for $400 - Flipping to a Ferrari - Flying Wheels

[@pkerlile]

ive been watching for atleast a year and you've honestly been where a lot of my research stems from. Starting a car dealership here in CA shortly! Much inspiration and appreciation towards you! just wanted to stop by and say how much your videos and editing have improved! Keep it up you're inspiring many

[@Custombricks101]

I have to say i like him filming himself better I know its probably easier for him to have a cameraman but it feels more like a flying wheels video with him filming and I just love that closer connection thats one reason i love this channel

[@mph5896]

I do as well

[@frankn2080]

I agree

[@ItsMeFred]

Agreed

[@tpp4007]

That’s because he’s using a shitty camera. If he upgrades his camera like other you tubers, you can see better resolution and higher definition.

This is one of the most interesting series I've watched here on YT in a long while, really well made/presented too.

@Disposable Dad If I happened to be using a tunneling electron microscope right now, I still couldn't locate my interest in your opinion of my thoughts.

[@aaronbritt2025]

When you bring your scan tool to the auction, check to see if the monitors are set. If they're set, nobody has cleared a code. If the monitors are not set, someone recently erased a code.

[@MrSillypoptart]

Coparts auction doesn't let you bring a scan tool sadly... I only go to Coparts at the moment haha

[@alirezar2069]

Thx! Took a lot of time

[@ChopsGarage]

Love this series, even as a UK Dealer I find it essential watching!

[@hillbillyfamily1334]

You couldn't have made 5000 on that car after having all that work done to it really you made probably round a grand or two profit but hell to come from 400 to 25000 is remarkable love the channel

[@joepierson3859]

$650 for the work, so he made $4400.

[@PristineMindset]

@@joepierson3859 You still need to minus sales tax from that $4400 good flip either way

I am glad the Subaru buyer is happy! I may or may not have crashed my fathers 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi turbo. Automatic, maroon and silver two tone, cloth seats. I learned what under steer in the rain was the hard way. What is funny is my dad paid $6500 for it from a local Nissan dealership and he was paid out $12,000 by insurance.

I owned a 1996 Subaru outback manual transmission for a short time once. It needed a lot of work, but the AC was COLD, heater was HOT, and all the gears worked at 218,000 miles. It was so much damn fun in the snow. Love Subarus. Sold it to a guy in a brand new Dodge Ram who I think was buying a family member a beater car. Told him all the problems I knew of in complete honesty but he was just super excited about the specs of the vehicle lol.

[@TProphet]

Good move with the sponsor. It's nice to see something relevant and car related rather than some junky VPN or wallet or whatever.

[@ericfaxon6215]

Great content and info Craig. Love to see that you are giving German (sorry if botched spelling) opportunities to gain experience as well. Sign of a good leader!

Wife had a VA WRX for 2 years. Not crazy fast, but quick and nimble. A very fun to drive car out on the twisties. Miss that car, but she traded it in on a Jeep.

[@jeff2370]

Should do a video on “profits” on KZbin. Feel like you make more essentially on the cars making videos with them.

[@Herberts4449]

An exact amount per video would be great too. Add up the total of the Ferrari challenge.

[@jmorris023]

Not that much on videos. Most KZbinrs make about 1/10th of a penny per view.

I just watched this again, and I am amazed Holden is the only Australian can to really get to the US. I would hae thought the Ford Falcon may have made an appearance, especially the XR6 Turbo with the 4 liter straight 6 turbo engine.

On the 56 t bird the porthole top was not standard. But it was an option. It was standard on the 57.

I’ve noticed you buy a lot of cars with cleared codes. I don’t know if your app shows mileage since it was cleared last, but the ones I use do. Even on a car that doesn’t have a light, you’ll know if it was cleared recently.

No AC belt, and you were not worried. To me that means the compressor sized and rather than fix they just pulled the belt. I wonder what was the reason?

What is the profit margin for a user car dealership? Gross annual revenues are not profit. For example, a grocery store with a 1.5% profit margin with two million in annual revenue has a profit of $30,000.

[@loris1774]

@@KRYFORME @Kenneth YoungII yeah it's a bit confusing. At the start of the video he announces he has a cheque for $27735. Maybe that's the sale price plus on road costs ?? At the end of the video he says he sold it $25050. (26k - $950 delivery) In the comments he says the repairs were $650. So it should be $24,400 for next auction??

It seems more often than not these people clear the check engine lights before selling. This is why people don’t trust car dealers. So many are just slimy swamp creatures running over their own grandma to make a buck. Makes me sick. And it’s why I bought a brand new truck for the first time in my life a few months ago.
