Yes this is the great content !!!

[@Romizler]

He. Doesn’t do it anymore that much he is slowly turning into a sell out making a single car last a few videos. I’ve been watching less and less and I’m a OG viewer. I don’t like 80% of his new videos. But it’s his channel he can do what he wants

[@FlyingWheels]

@@Romizler sell out? My first big series was about a boat that was 9 episodes Long. People like a story. Do you really want to see the same thing over and over all the time? Wouldn't it get boring?

[@Romizler]

@@FlyingWheels you never get boring man the new videos are great for your new viewers and I wish nothing but greatness for you. So I would keep those coming but videos like these are gold man a whole start to finish 1 short videos. and being a sellout isn’t bad and I don’t mean it in a bad way I think it’s one of the only ways to keep growing but I think the real fans of this channel that watch them every time they upload want more videos like this.

Dude that’s a lot of work and hassle for 4K.. Check into stock trading. I make that easily with only a few clicks of the mouse in usually less than a month. And trust me I am no genius or financial guru. But you do need some dough lying around to get started. The more money you have the more you can make, unless you want to do margin trading, which I don’t advise.

Hey Craig! Just wanted to take a quick minute to thank you. Your videos and their content are absolutely awesome! I’ve owned a vehicle restoration shop for the past 20years. Still do it for myself. And those clients willing to pay the flagged hourly shop rate. The business has been doing body and paint for some dealers in town. And a good mix of collision work. Ive bought and sold cars throughout the years. Almost a Always making a at least 15-20% profit. Usually much more. Now that ive started watching you and Lucky’s videos. My son and i have stepped up our cheap car game. We are each selling 12 cars a year. (As allowed by AZ state law. We will be getting a dealers license in January to go the next step.

That house Reno was very refreshing, plz continue. Also this was satisfying, don’t let the haters get your attention because they are just insecure about themselves.

I did the same thing when I was 17 and made good money. I bought a hatchback mustang 4 cylinder for $1,500 cleaned it up and the mailman said wow where can I get a car like this. I said right here $3,000.He bought it then I bought another car for $3,000 sold it for $5,000.Then I bought my first IROCZ 1985 for $5,000.Drove it for a year and sold it for $6,500.That was 30 years ago.

I got the same car for $500 Did all the work on my own and still do 2 years later the car is really a dream and so fun to drive

[@beastumfan]

You don't want to sell?

[@awsomo53]

They're good cars but realistically not worth 4500 for what he has. I can get a 4 door automatic with close to 100k miles for 5k. Great student cars. Something like what Craig has would be worth probably 3000 in my opinion. 2 door manual coupes aren't the best cars to own. Not ideal if you have passengers.

[@earlscheib7754]

The car market has drastically changed from a year ago, rolling wrecks were selling for $2,500 and up, today the same car is $1,500. Trucks that were 7k are now 4,500

She turned out real clean. Best thing about selling these civics is that you can shut people down when they ask the annoying question “when has timing belt has been done?” ..and you tell them it’s got a timing chain so never lol.

[@shirecain2129]

As an automotive frequent seller I will promise everyone that more little details you fix or repair will greatly increase your profits. It's not at all scamming people. It's taking care of everything the previous owners didn't. Remember... cheaper cars are never perfect 👌

[@dr.tobiasgoodfellow5174]

That car obviously has some engine issues, burning oil at least. People generally don’t keep oil containers in their car if the engine is not having issues. The car has obviously been abused and not well taken car of. I wonder what the maintenance schedule was like on that car. Probably never had the coolant, brake fluid, or manual transmission fluid changed. In my younger days the only fluid I ever changed was the oil. But in those days (late 1980- early 2000s). I rarely kept a car longer than 60k miles. I am glad to hear that manual trans Civics are one of the most reliable cars out there. I have owned 3 an 84, a 96 and I currently own a 2013 that I bought new, currently with 126k miles and never any problems. But the first 2 were not great when it comes to reliability. I have never had cars be more trouble free than when I started doing my own maintenance. Those mechanics have a hard job, are always in a rush, get distracted, make mistakes, probably don’t care, and are just not going to provide the same TLC as I can. I now do all my own preventative maintenance and brakes. On my 13 Civic I’ve been using Mobil 1 and Purolator Boss oil filters since the second oil change. Honestly, I have never been a fan of the car. The rev hang is a kill joy and it’s not very peppy. But the pros outweigh the cons. Getting 40 mpg average, the car is reliable and easy to work on, and doesn’t have all those electronic nannies that new cars have, so I am glad I held on to it.

[@DougJohns]
