I Opened An Under $5,000 Car Dealership

[@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.

For the right price, there is a market for these cars. He's found a niche market that few sellers want. He's laid it out, less than $500 net for each car. He deserves that and more for the hassle of shopping the auctions, changing the registration, preparing and selling the car.

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 currently have 207,000 on the motor. Never have had anything go wrong with it. I keep it well serviced. The only thing that I have had to fix was the window motor on the drivers side. 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.

How do you find them if you hypothetically don’t know anything about cars? Most mechanics can’t stop what they are doing to go and inspect a car if I find one I like. 😢

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.

Hi European here. I bought a 2003 Alfa Romeo 147 in 2022 for about $1500. Has been running great and I've spent about $1500 more in the past two years for preventative maintenance. Honestly the best purchase I ever made and I intend to keep it until the wheels fall off.

[@JimmyPlato1]

Hello Brandon. I can't express enough just how valuable and important you are in your approach and business model as a car dealer. Car buyers NEED what you are doing now more than ever. Making customers happy and satisfied is the best thing a car dealer can do. You literally earn lifetime customers doing the great thing that you are doing....

Thumbs up to you for revealing so much of your business and its history, along with understanding how to better manage an auto sales business to make money without screwing your customers

[@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.

[@kenhenry297]

Bowling alley seating in the office is perfect! Your $5K and under dealership shows value to the consumer and they know it's a good deal, especially given the crazy car prices today. Very refreshing to see a dealer who knows what most people need.

[@puddlez96]

Makes a lot of sense to me. I've only owned 2 vehicles and I bought each of them based on terms of reliability and affordability, and whether or not they were suitable for my needs. High volume low margin sales seem stressful, but you seem like you're making it easier for people who may just be starting out or have lost everything and they are starting to rebuild. Major props for that. Good luck in your endeavours.

[@bronzremix]

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. If I could, I'd buy from you, but being in Vancouver Canada I still can send you thanks and continued success!

[@WendyLehr]

It Proves you can make a living not ripping people off! Well done sir

[@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!

Man I don’t know you and I don’t live anywhere near North Carolina but I love your business model. I feel like my local area could seriously benefit from this kind of dealership. My local used car lots charge up to $1500 in misc fees it’s ridiculous. Happy to see there is still an honest and reasonable dealer out there.

[@chuckguinn4680]

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!

[@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.

[@Warmfireandtea]

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.

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.

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

[@jpete3027666]

I helped my 16 year old daughter find her first car that she bought with her own money that she worked for. It was freaking eye opening what cars cost these days. I haven’t bought a car in ages. In Western WA anything under $5,000 is totally beat to hell. We waited months because I refused to allow her to spend that much money for junk. We got lucky and she got a 20 year old Camry in great shape for $4,100. But value in the car market is almost impossible to find these days.

Isn’t that nuts? A 20 year old Camry coating that. Fingers crossed it holds up for her without major repairs.

Here in Central Ky we have a Powersports and Mower dealership. They sell brand new and used motorcycles/side by sides/etc. They are the only NEW dealer that doesn't charge all the BS fees. No freight/shipping/docs. They list everything with tax/title and you know what you're paying before you even see any paperwork. They've done very well for them selves and are now getting a much needed and deserved bigger building, and I really hope they have continued success. I've bought 2 brand new bikes from them just because it's such a straight forward and easy process. Same with you. I hope you continued success and that you can stick with your plans. I'm sure there is a bit of crap that comes with selling used cheap cars from people expecting "warranties" and such, but it is something people need. And if you are able to keep on providing that, and support your self, then it's all a win-win to me.

North Carolina folks are lucky to have you guys around.

It's very impressive we can still find "surviving" work horses of the previous generations, god bless engineers who designed and built those, mostly Toyota and Honda, but Ford did well too at the time, Lincoln aswell, Subaru maybe...

[@marka.8535]

I am a retired independent used car dealer. I tried selling cheap cars but hardly anyone ever had the cash for even a $2,000. dollar car . I would have to allow the buyers to make payments to me . They usually paid ; because I was fair and the cars lasted they usually paid but it was very difficult to justify all the effort and overhead to find vehicles , get the car ready to sell , sell it , collect the payments, pay the sales tax and DMV fees and repeating the process .and be able to realize enough profit to make it worthwhile. If people become educated about cars and maintenance they can buy cars from private parties that need some work and then get it repaired at a mechanic shop that you are familiar with. Independent auto repair shops often have a car that they bought, repaired and are now selling.

[@k.b.tidwell]

Older, mature private sellers are always the best source. No dealer expenses they have to cover, and the vehicle is usually already well-maintained. Just like buying furniture at estate sales...the best stuff cheaper.
