CarMax Wholesale Auction and Sold Prices

[@richardkafka5625]

Great video. Prices are CRAZY!!!! The money on that 300k mile lexus is nuts!!!

[@robertmitchell8630]

Owned a Lexus rx300 2002 held it for 18 years 305k miles not even the check engine light came on Catalytic converter need replacement Throughout ownership the most expensive repair was the timing belt which is regular maintenance

[@thinkabout602]

Really appreciate you telling us what the cars went for - it's crazy $$$$$$$$

[@MarathonGsar]

Thanks for going to another CarMax auction. I find it so much more interesting than the plethora of Copart videos on KZbin. I love the format of showing the sold prices in same video.

[@LaSouthernGemini]

Yes, the format of showing the 'sold for' price is what sets these videos above the rest.

[@hullinger]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the kind words.

[@stevesmith6554]

This is proof of how out of control and inflated the wholesale market is today as well as the retail.

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Another great video Chris…thanks for sharing. I’m absolutely blown away by the prices. You talk about contrast, the Lexus with 300k plus looked like a 40k mile vehicle, yet the Solstice with an actual 40k looked like it had seen 300k plus! Poor poor Solstice it’s endured a difficult existence. Looking at the Carmax rejects I think it speaks volumes about the quality of the cars that they elect to keep.

[@hullinger]

Such a great comment and I was thinking exactly what you wrote, both about the difference between the Lexus and Pontiac and about the quality of the vehicles that CarMax decides to resell on their lot.

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

@@hullinger Thanks for acknowledging the comment and for replying. I sincerely enjoy your videos and your presentation style. With any luck someone from Carmax will come across your video and perhaps some sort of collaboration might ensue. All the best Sir…looking forward to your next upload. Hope you find something decent to replace your daughters car with.

[@chefjacktheprofessionaldri6284]

I bought a 2009 G8 GXP from Carmax 1.5 yrs ago with 50k on her. She now has 55k and still in ALMOST SHOWROOM CONDITION! VERY SATISFIED WITH MY FUTURE COLLECTOR CAR INVESTMENT!

[@mikemill8270]

The prices are insane. I can’t believe someone paid 15k for the Lexus.

[@sirendude]

Yeah, especially one with 300k miles.

[@baldisaerodynamic9692]

thinking the same thing!!!

[@XX-166]

That’s what’s happens when the new cars are less available

[@quentinc1275]

$9,000 for a 15 year old dented up civic what is this market

[@redsalamander3007]

I agree!

[@rumrunner1756]

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy these CarMax auctions. You never know what you will find. You won’t find any bargains however, at least not until things start to level out. I hope you will bring us back. That Solstice went for crazy money imho. 💥👍

[@theadvocate4698]

The civic at 9000$ was the surprise!

[@theadvocate4698]

You got the year wrong on the civic! not 2007, more like 2013-2015....

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud for checking out that CarMax auction video and I totally agree. There's a lot of folks fighting over those cars and just driving up the prices. And it's a shame about that Solstice. I kinda wanted that one but not for the money it sold for.

[@chrispellicci6587]

Great show ! More auctions like this please

[@Novaman66]

Love your videos, you are so informative,and pleasant to view and hear👍 Thank you sir!

[@hullinger]

So nice of you and thank you for sharing.

[@jefferysmith3930]

I don’t know how people are going to make money on some of those cars given the issues at those prices. I’m so glad I don’t need a car right now. $15 large for a 300,000 mile Lexus ES??!!

[@joehomanick]

That car will be shipped to some other country and will no longer have 300 k on it any more ….

[@mleindek]

@@joehomanick b b b b ingo!

[@u-know-this]

Crazy

[@roadrunnadon9573]

That car was probably used for Ubers luxury option

[@anthonylarocco6763]

They can run it up to 800,000 miles 300,000 miles is nothing for a Lexus Toyota ES 330

[@chefjacktheprofessionaldri6284]

Great presentation 👏 👌! Been dealing with Carmax for 21 yrs! Won't go anywhere else

[@TheCopCar]

Some of those prices are bananas. I appreciate you putting the sales price of the F150 in there - I was curious about that one! As always - great video!

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud and thanks for stopping by for the vid too!

[@mrknoch]

16:05 FYI Canada cars have non-reversable daytime headlights. Many locales in Canada use a liquid brine to melt the ice on their roads in the winter (from my mechanic). This causes the rust under the car to fuse all the bolts and parts together to the body making it near impossible to remove parts underneath without much effort. I had a Ford Flex purchased used at a Michigan dealership that was purchased by them at an auction and it was from Canada (unbeknownst to me). I could not even remove the bolts underneath to install a trailer hitch and my mechanic could barely remove the brake parts when I needed new brakes. I am glad that CARMAX discloses this info. My dealer did not and I did not do enough research.

[@donvoll2580]

Good day mrknock. I am from Ontario, So if we oil them more would that help? Thanks

[@mrknoch]

@@donvoll2580 LOL Nah. The salt we use in Michigan doesn't do the cars any favors either! Just passing on the words of my mechanic.

[@XX-166]

Mannnnn these are the best auctions you’ve been to since I started watching you a long time ago.

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud for the kind words and for checking out the latest CarMax auction video too.

[@saladsalad9991]

I paid $6k for my 2009 CIVIC EX-L /w Navigation back in 2013. It's in a lot better condition than the 2007 Civic shown in this video. I was shocked to see that one sell for $9,000!!!. It makes me seriously consider now is the time to sell mine if it's appreciated that much in value. I had no idea.

[@markrichardson3566]

That green rag is cool, needs alot, great video 🙂💜✌️

[@hcwcars1]

Thank you very much for the time and trouble of doing videos like this ❤😊

[@nervousordo]

16:35 The price of $9K for that 2007 Honda Civic with 137K is outrageous.

[@monkeywentbananas]

Damn $6250 for the Pontiac Solstice! There's a sucker born every minute!

[@uralbob1]

Just found you and subscribed. Great, fun content! Thanks for producing these vids!

[@vehicleheightrestriction]

I was expecting someone to pay MAX of 7 or 8k for the Lexus ES. Boy, you should've seen my face when I saw 15k

[@josephbennett1401]

Love these quick walk around visits, and the follow up sale prices. Too bad the prices are out of control now.

[@tommyhall8301]

Good to see you buddy good luck with the cars have a great week end

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud for checking out that CarMax auction video. I appreciate that.

[@mexicanspec]

Chris, you answered your own question on the Audi. The car is a S but the computer says it is an RS. Somebody has messed with that car and Carmax didn't want to take responsibility for that car to a retail customer.

[@bulbhorn]

The auction vids are great. Thanks.

[@typeon3g4t1v3]

If the start up screen says RS3, did they mess with the computer?

[@mexicanspec]

I bet somebody did.

[@skippydarope]

That’s the modification. They switched out the dash for lower mileage. it was only showing ~30k with worn rotors. RS3 prompt on an S3. That’s a huge red flag

[@RustyZipper]

I would have snagged that Olds! Sure Grandma hit the garage a few times, but a great knock around car for winter

[@russellgollen4365]

I've got an Olds Intrigue, same year, color, and trim (GLS) with over 130k miles on the clock. Owned it for 6 years now and its been a champ, the only repair I've had done is a water pump and a wheel bearing. They're great cars, worth nearly nothing these days so I'm just gonna keep driving it till it dies. Sure wish Oldsmobile was still around.

[@kmorton54]

Thank you for showing what the 2007 Volvo S80 sold for. I was hoping you would look at the car. I drive a 2011 Volvo S80 and was interested in what it was going to sell for. I also really enjoy and appreciate your Auction videos 📹

[@katiejameson]

Love the videos man, especially these different auctions but I definitely prefer the police auctions

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud for checking out the CarMax auction vid and thanks for the kind words too. The next police auction is in two weeks and I plan on being there.

[@katiejameson]

@@hullinger wish I was closer, I'd love to join you at an auction some time. It's too bad how far they strip the retired cruisers down though. Up here you usually seem to still get a console and spotlight, hideaways and wigwags/traffic backers still left in

[@bellcobra4]

man i love your videos , your super smart on details ..... thank you for sharing .

[@dixonrenyin95ugo]

Love this work around Mr Chris. The prices have really gone high

[@hullinger]

Thanks bud and I totally agree. I can't believe the prices those CarMax cars are selling for. Just nuts.

[@andreik1775]

Love the enthusiasm!

[@JohnHoganN8]

Enjoyed the video thanks and agree with everybody else, prices were nuts!

[@pwill1248]

I didn't know that these auctions exist but these prices are really inflated but great watch, keep them coming.

[@amlgmatd3751]

Fun Fact: Franz von Holzhausen, the designer of the Pontiac Solstice & its industry twin the Saturn Sky, is also the designer behind all of Tesla's current models including the iconic Cybertruck.

[@WJHandyDad]

congrats on 40k+ subs!

[@ivanlim9459]

damn that lexus 325 thousand miles... it went to the moon and back to earth 🤔🤔

[@johnasbury7511]

Wow the only bargain was the olds . I would have snapped that up myself

[@cheapme1850]

Yup, that’s exactly my opinion. The Volvo was a maybe. If the Intrigue has the 3800, it will run for ever and parts are readily available.

[@Matthew_Finn]

As someone that works for carmax, we dont usually sell cars with mods. No matter how minor

[@hullinger]

Thanks for sharing that about CarMax and the mods. Good to know. Thanks!

[@Matthew_Finn]

@@hullinger yeah for sure. It boggles me sometimes but yeah, if its a really cool car that has mods. We wont even attempt to sell it

[@robertdiehl9003]

Awesome video. Interesting and detailed

[@hullinger]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesthompson8008]

Like a couple of others have said, that Olds was the bargain here. Looked to be mostly cosmetic, and at 43k miles that has a LOT of life left; would make an excellent 1st car if there's no quibbles about it's size. AND - as we don't have to tell you, those end of the line Oldsmobiles were really good, reliable cars. I would've made that purchase. Also want to say that I think you're honing in on your format style, more descriptive with interests to fast n quick-facts on more bread n butter types. Good video.

[@hullinger]

I agree with you about that Olds being the deal of the day. And thank you for the kind words too about my videos. They have been evolving over the years and I still feel like they need to improve even more. It's definitely a long process for me, that's for sure.

[@cheapme1850]

I agree the Intrigue was the best deal. The only problem with buying low mileage, older cars is if you want to get a quick flip. Many folks still won’t bite on them, especially younger buyers who don’t have the knowledge regarding older cars, especially discontinued models. All they see is an old car. Now if you’re going to keep it, it’s a great deal. I tried to flip a 2000 Acura TL with low miles and it was a bitch to get rid of because it was still a 20 year old car.

[@jamesthompson8008]

@@cheapme1850 Yeah, I'm with you there - but in this instance it would have been for personal use.

[@davidresendiz9128]

Also looking for family three seater

[@leelaguerre176]

The s3 had no cats on it. Most likely straight piped hint why the o2 censor light is on. Good buy I think.

[@hullinger]

Great comment and thanks for sharing. I didn't even think about the mid pipes and O2 sensors. Makes perfect sense.

[@Julian-do7bv]

That Lexus really brought the money I wouldn't have even wanted to pay half that

[@koolkev75]

Damn highway robbery for that lexus , you better off shopping on marketplace 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👀😱😱

[@IKhanNot]

Personally I find Lexus cars boring (with the exception of the ISF and LC500) but no doubt they're built to last the test of time. The V6 motor has been used since 2006 and all they ever need are regular oil changes at 7-8k and spark plugs at 90-100k. As for this one just for the heck of it I'd do a head gasket test since it's low on coolant and the oil looks like it was just changed. Could also be a leaking and bad water pump.

[@CJDiecast]

"This thing is rougher than I expected for the miles." You would think so but I've quickly learned that just because a car has low mileage doesn't automatically mean it's in good shape. I worked at a Toyota dealership as a porter and would see cars in the first couple thousand miles with already stained seats/carpets, accident damage on the bumpers/doors, funky smells, steering wheel discoloration, etc. I had one '20 Toyota Corolla Hybrid that literally looked like it was ten years old inside. A heavy-set guy that was an absolute slob just destroyed that poor car. It smelt horrible, everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, dirt, and sticky residue. It literally hasn't been cleaned since the day he bought it. I swear people just don't bathe or shower regularly and it showed in this one! Also, people just don't care about their car aesthetically as long as it runs and drives. That's the mindset of most people unfortunately.

[@MeDicen_Rocha]

Look at the Lexus as a great example. 325k and you could drop a number off the kilometers and most people wouldnt notice.

[@hullinger]

Great comment and you're soo right about how folks take car of their cars. Thanks for saying that and thanks for checking out the CarMax auction video too.

[@RustyZipper]

Reminds me of the “The Other Guys” when the hobos stole Will Farrel’s red Prius and had an Orgy in it.

[@mexicanspec]

It would be interesting to see the Carfax on the Lexus to see how fast the miles were clocked up.

[@MrPaige222]

It's insane. About 85, 000 miles a year. Had to have been an airport car and almost never got shut off

[@mduff94]

That Honda Civic is a 2013; shifter indicates it is a 2013 because it has "D3 2 1" which is the one year only 5 speed automatic for this body style (I have a 13). 2014 and 15s have a CVT which is indicated by "D S L".

[@PremierAutoMan86]

$15k for 300k limo or sales rep/district mgr car is absolutely bonkers! Otherwise a testament to build quality!

[@eoinoconnell185]

Indeed. I've no doubt that engine can keep going past the 1 million mark (with good maintenance). But still, that's a high price to pay for high mileage.

[@NOTHOTlanta]

True. That should have been 3000 tops.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

What happened to these videos?

[@909cool-oagents4]

Lexus he says 1500-2000. Sells for 15k. He was close

[@hullinger]

The selling price of that Lexus with 325K miles totally blew me away. I had no idea what a realistic selling price might be because that car was so new but with so many miles. I guess looking back, even as a parts car, it was worth thousands, but $15K! Crap man, that's a ton of money.

[@kenbeats7149]

where do find auction like that?

[@capitalistdonkey]

Hi think for CarMax auctions are for dealers only?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

Are all of these cars, cars that CarMax bought at auction and then decided to sell at auction rather than sell at CarMax? Or are some of them trade-ins where CarMax lowballs the offeror and then assumes they'll make a profit at auction without the liability of selling on their lot?

[@SlavGuns]

Oh and Carmax can make more money on some of those unique cars from other Dealers who NEED cars and are willing to bid up, than what Carmax would be able to get for them on their own lots. People don't go to Carmax for Maseratis or unique Audis... and well, a Ford Dealer will pay STUPID money for a used F150.
