I Opened An Under $5,000 Car Dealership

[@cali_love5977]

There’s a huge buying market for under $5k. You’re doing a good service for your community. Not everyone wants to go into debt for a car.

[@johnafagerquist8235]

That's because not everyone has half a brain in their squash. Going into debt for a depreciating asset makes stupid look smart. Yes, everyone knows the bank really owns that shiny new car you're driving. They also know you borrowed $6. from your sister to put enough gas in it to get to work today. Just sayin'

[@statewench2828]

The last new car I bought was a 2000 Mustang. Drove it 17 years and sold it to the young high school boy for $1,500, He checked my oil. air. washed my windows and checked the radiator fluid at the gas station . He always loved that car and was very nice to check it each time I got gas. He was helping that old lady in the hot red Mustang as he sure didn't have to and most gas stations won't do it for you. When I asked him if he wanted to buy it and told him how much he almost cried. It feels good to make people happy and it was his first car too.

Meanwhile the new vehicles I see at work get dinged, bent, scratched, broken into, and their owners look depressed as they pay their very large payments. The closer in to a city center that you work, the more you need beaters.

You're about to sweat out other dealers in the area with this dollar tree type move. Money is getting tighter and ppl are tired of getting gouged left and right; especially for used cars. You're a lifeline to certain ppl right now looking to get mobile for a decent price. Good shit man

[@josephoberlander]

He always will beat them on price, though, as he bought in when it was cheap ( 13 years ago was at the bottom of the last recession ). He has a gravel and grass lot, a simple building, and that's it. Most new dealers have millions into it, now, to get started. A major dealership? tens of millions, minimum. Why he can do this is (my guess, likely accurate) is that everything is paid off and he owns that little piece of land. Now, you'll get gouged 8% and half a million to get just a piece of land that large. So you literally can't sell for that cheap.

I also spent $1,200.00 on the paint job. Nothing else. I realize it's not a cool car. But, I'm cool! It does what it was created to do. People loose their identity to a vehicle. " YOU ARE NOT YOUR VEHICLE"! You are a separate, the vehicle is created for you, not you created for it! People pay more for vehicles than they do for things like Health, family and home! It's okay if that's what they want to do. But for us I like to put my money to work for me in places where I can see a return. I also have inherited MOMS 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, so I don't ever plan to purchase another vehicle in the near future.

Smart! Many don't get the notion that the best daily driver is a paid off vehicle. Why finance $800/mo. on a daily driver so you can show off to everyone. By the time it's paid off, you have over 100k miles, serious depreciation and the car is not the "in" car anymore.

[@Mikefngarage]

Out Here in CA......there are a TON of guys doing that. They buy them pretty cheap with an engine light on. fix the problem. and resell it for 500 to 1000 profit. That is it.

[@pollyanna147]

I do this. Get them smogged in palmdale for $100, even if you delete the light on the reader you still get screwed as you know, could be anything for a failure. 4 lightly used matching new tires, oil change, recharge the a/c, make sure it's safe and reliable and keep it moving. $600 at auction, sell for 2k. CA makes it impossible for working people to buy a legal vehicle but I keep my prices low where I make enough of a profit to keep it moving but affordable for the working class to not get ticketed and towed and harassed.

My HONDA was an auction car. Imget 15 mi.s from dealer n lite comes on. Luckily it ran o.k.,200 mi.s from home.. turned out to be a hard to get at lil part. Cost$300 to get replaced. No trouble since but worn out brakes. $350.

[@TheJamesKF]

This is fantastic. Many people have always disliked the fact that for some reason buying a vehicle from a dealer isn't just like buying a TV or some other retail item where the price you see, before tax, is what you pay. I really appreciate your business model and wish you many more successful years in business.

[@outlet6989]

Hi Brandon, When I see that big sign at a car dealership that reads "CERTIFIED USED CARS," I have to laugh. Many people believe it means the dealership has thoroughly inspected the cars and made any needed repairs. That sign means that all the vehicles on the used car lot are certified as being used. That's a big difference!

[@kruthielsims9140]

I have no car nor a license and I've been looking for a car under 5k so I can get a better job that pays more than $9 an hour. I'm so grateful for people like you who make it easier for first time car buyers and people who need their own transportation for cheap. Thank you!

This is why we've bought from Hertz the last 2 cars. They have the same sales model as you. They have newer more expensive cars but both times my husband and I walked in test drove the car we were interested in. Then wrote a check and left with our car. There was no haggling. It's awesome! If we lived in NC we'd definitely look at your vehicles. We don't care what we drive. It just has to move my family and our stuff and be reliable. That's all we ask. I love the fact that you see that.

Over the years I bought many many cars from private dealers who operated same as you. I got great affordable cars. My driveway would be cluttered with them. Only sold them to clear the way for more. My last dealer retired for medical reasons. He was a super mechanic also. Keep up this righteous life's mission!

[@U.S.ArmyVeteran]

This guy here is good to the core, I can tell. I'm sure he's doing as well as he says and as long as he stay true to himself, humble, and treat people right (selling cars at reasonable prices w/o any hidden agenda), he will continue to excel. This is a good guy here!

Picked up a couple sedans to flip recently (mechanic by trade) cleaned them up nice, minor mechanical repairs to make them safe and legal and posted them. It was like pulling teeth to get $3k for clean title smogged cars ready to go. Can't imagine doing it regularly.

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

It can be. I do the same thing in my area. 3 to 5 cars a year. I try to make $500, $1500 if I'm doing heavy line repairs. I usually make sure everything works and is safe, clean it real good and see what happens. People come and tire kick and want to pay less than I picked it up for before repairs. I usually price at KBB private party middle of the road and people try to cut that in half. Never lost money, but have had to let two cars go for what I had into them.

The only difference is he is set up commercially to do it, he's clearly sunk tons of time, effort, and money so that he doesn't deal with the marketplace treatment. He created quite literally his own marketplace which in of itself is genius

This would my my first car at age 33. Not to familiar with how is the process but i respect someone who is honest. A family car, a minivan to be precise. I have a 3 year old and 6 month old. It would be awesome to visit your shop. As i read your Bio, you are not disclosing the address of your business. I understand. Hopefully, people who are interested will be able to give the shop a visit soon. Have a great day!

It takes a gentleman who cares about others to go out and sell and collect less then most others, knowing he is helping the community as a whole. The fact that your mechanic is on it and ensuring the cars will not be lemons and if maintained will be a great investment is another great thing.

I've been in several businesses for many years successfully and I really like your presentation which I think is very genuine, for your ethical outlook on business and treating people. What you have going on there, upfront pricing, no bullshit fees, all in the back of my head. Only thing I might do different, I would have more of my service area inside, repair detailing. Primarily for comfort of myself and staff. And if I needed to be it inside I've got a lighting to process cars 24 hours a day. Just put on a second shift. Volume volume. And with a better working environment, I think you get top notch people. First thing I did at my other company was to air conditioned a 10,000 ft² warehouse, I had zero turnover in 5 years. Best of luck continued success brother
