Repossessing Jermaine Dupri's Lamborghini

When Ed (@edbolian) was selling cars, not all of their inventory came from cars they would buy, sometimes they got repos from exotic car banks. Some of them came from some high profile clients.

While it's fun to point and laugh at the rappers, there was a lot more going on in the mid to late 2000s. The biggest thing that fueled it was how unbelievably easy credit was to get, thanks to the housing market. And, when the housing market fell, it cut the legs out from under all lending. As far as why Rappers seem to get into trouble isn't anything specifically with that part of the music industry or the music industry itself. It's more a case of the Suddenly Rich. For people who never had money before, suddenly having money suddenly gives them so many more ways to financially hang themselves than they had before. (And a whole new set of friends who will gladly slip the rope over your neck and give the chair a swift kick.) It's why the NFL and many state lottery organizations have classes to teach about the pitfalls of their newfound wealth.

As someone who worked in the subprime auto finance market for some time. I can speak to the ridiculousness some companies will go to help dealers make money. Some very aggressive finance companies can lend 160% LTV on some real dog shit cars. 99.999% of all cars are depreciating assets, but during 2008-2012 you could say the used car market witnessed a hyper inflation. Due to over supply and lack of demand. Driving used car prices even lower. All I have to say is many companies and especially credit unions are repeating some similar lending practices.

Didn't walk for over two months. They said it would take over a year for my strength to come back. By the middle of march I was back to my squat pr, two weeks later I beat it by 20lbs squatting 405. My deadlift is still yet to come back, the reasoning being the muscle on the left side of my back were not strong enough to maintain to correct position, I ended up tearing up my low back as I wasn't aware of my failure to show correct technique till I got with a coach.

Well, from what I heard, the diablo was an AWD car but Busta has it converted to RWD (cant confirm this for sure). Anyway, the kid showed off and went sideways 3 times before going head first into a tree and wrecked the car. (I still have pics). The owner apparently hadn't even insured the car yet..

Dude, that's terrible for most people. If you net $2K/month, a $1K mortgage and $500 car note makes no sense. Mortgage/rent shouldn't be more than 1/4 net, car note (if you can't buy in cash) should be no more than 1/10 your net. So a young guy getting $2K has $500 for his portion of rent (roommates) and $200 car note. That way he can still eat and save some money. Sure, home costs will be more in CA, NY, CT, etc. But in most places, housing cost isn't gonna eat up half your salary.

I ran a sales Dept at a repo lot in Portland Oregon in 07-08. Great times! Made a boat load of money off idiots who don't understand the term "live within your means". Contractors who spent 10 on lift kits for thier work trucks, realestate agents with 90k suvs , young kids with Mom co signing on a 40k sports car and the regular drug addicts and drunks were the usual customers. Every once in a while we get a wild story. Back robber gets cought in a car he owed money on. We had to get car from police impound. He is probably still locked up. Child molester goes to jail. Had to get his car from his apartment after he got locked up. Again. Probably still in a cage. People killing themselves. Getting cars from the family for those was sad cause it was personal items inside from lost loved ones. Divorces always kept us busy. Then u had professional debters. People who convinced others to coe sign them then took off with cars. Immagrants we're also big into buying a car and then leaving the country. Only to sell the car to friends or family who stayed here and knew it was out for repo . They would use it and abuse it till we could find it . Some times we never found them. The cops would call the bank cause they impounded it for a crime. Or another tow company would impound it for parking or accidents or abandoned. Other good ones were drug dealers, doctors, porn stars dentists , cops etc etc. Everyone gets repoed if they ain't cArful . Divorces , drugs, gambling , loose women or something along those lines always throws people off thier game and they get cought slipping and then loose track of money and responsibilities. Next thing u know they are up for repo and a foreclouser and then for the finally, a BK. The stories at the repo company never got old. The head reop guy , had some great stories of picking cars up. I just apprised them and communicated with lenders and then facilitated a sale fair to everyone , lein holder and new customer. I did go pick up some cars everyonce in a while. Best ones are not postable on here. With Google and all, it wouldn't be hard to find out who I am talking about or who I am. I don't need that bitting me in the backside.

The young man was extremely happy and very aware of what he had done. 8 months later he traded the 883 in on a 18k new Softtail and had a 7 year note of something like an $800.00 a month payment still very happy young man but I was and to this day amazed the lengths the finance company’s would go to in order to move inventory.

[@johnhofer3089]

Ed, I remember asking for a video on the Great Recession and the luxury car market a while ago, thanks for making this

[@DeShakeel]

*ROB DAHM NEEDS TO COME ON VINWIKI AND GIVE US SOME OF HIS CAR STORIES*

[@RightlyDividingToday]

Diablo spin out😨

[@SoCalFreelance]

You mean his insurance fraud stories? All of his 'mishaps' would fit right in.

[@hectorfuji]

What they replied!

[@GearheadDaily]

Never pressed F5 so many times in a row... =D

[@Goyxrd3]

Good vinwiki to start my day gonna be in traffic with all these car crashes

[@southjerseysound7340]

I'm surprised he didn't mention that the customers who bought the cars from that dealer had them repossessed by the bank even though they're stuck paying for them.... .. I've done a few repos in such cases and it's brutal how screwed the innocent people are.

[@jps226]

Ed really has a knack for making super sketchy business transactions not sound super sketchy...

[@giff74]

Ed and Rabbit tell the best stories!

[@andyroid5028]

I know some (or most) of you will disagree with me... but there's really only 1 thing in life anyone with a 'firm grasp of finances' should actually finance and that is... a primary mortgage. I can't even begin to fathom making 'house payment type payments' ($750-$3000 per month) to 'partially own' a vehicle. It boggles my mind when I hear of anyone earning at least $1 million+ per year having to declare bankruptcy due to inability to stay current on... *OUTSTANDING CAR LOANS!* If you're making that amount of jack (or more) per year... well, that type of jack allows you to be *free of loans!* Idiots!

[@skrutinizr9372]

Use the bank to make money- have the bank buy a business, then you make the money. Primary mortgage for the tax advantages, again using a bank to make money as the market value rises. You can be super damned baller without having an enormous income and be set for life. Paying interest on a depreciating asset (liability) is just about the most stupid thing anyone can do.

[@RawNoLimits]

well good thing we're car guys and not finance bros 😂

[@PerryMcIverPerry]

Well when you go from 0 to a million with literally no financial guidance bad decisions have the potential to happen. But you live and you learn, Jermaine dupri has definitely made enough money since then to buy that car a couple times over, and pretty sure he learned a valuable lesson

[@LAG09]

I guess the same advice applies to exotic cars as to stocks, i.e never get into a situation where you can't afford to lose it all. In this instance it means that you should never borrow so much that you end up with negative equity even when the value of the asset goes to zero.

[@nsix9]

This guy makes simple stories much more interesting

[@JP-dw1fp]

At least with a rapper, you can go after the co-signer as well.

[@WaywardPondering]

I use to do home foreclosures from 2001 to 2005. Some people where carrying so much debt and living outside their means that the slightest hiccup in their income and they where in default.

[@loneranger7877]

Jermaine Dupri.. Ed’s best customer !

[@mickeygarcia2331_]

Well, this an awesome episode. They really get to the story and never make it so much longer than it has to be.

[@yuuy8457]

The funny thing is I live in Atlanta and my dad was offers by his banker friend a Lamborghini mercy for 79,000 dollars I think it might’ve been the same one

[@richo3411]

Ed, how about finding some repo men with great stories. As always, I enjoy these stories and all of the people you get for this channel.

[@unstablebobgable]

ED B. IN DA HOUSE!!!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Though speaking steadily without pause, he never seems to inhale a breath. Facinating.

[@northamericanauto43]

More stories like this!!!

[@jag7371]

Ed's back with another great Lambo story!!

[@fordgt2659]

Maybe he made it rain a few to many times lol

[@Abtpfil07]

Hey Ed, you should get Eric on the channel to talk about his Gallardo getting stolen from the Valet in Buckhead...circa 2008.

[@VINwiki]

That is a great idea!

[@DankBoyy00]

Was watching this in class and a friend was confused

[@erichardric4795]

I was in love with Lamborghini before the rappers knew what they were, back when the only model they made was the countach and it only came in red, white, or black. I think it's sacrilege what J.D. did to that poor car and I'm glad they took it from him!

[@manassehalphonse644]

Apparently there were other clients cars that was repossessed but their names were not mentioned. Go figure

[@davidtwheelerjr5500]

You're so right Apparently only Atlanta rappers obviously have their cars repossessed

[@madern7]

Sounds like such a fun time to work for an exotic car company.

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

Bloody 2008!! The year that killed my first business. A courier business i set up in 2005 and that FINALLY started to make some decent money by 2007.....then 2008. All my cars (Ford Connect,a Europe only minivan based on the Fiesta),all my drivers,all my everything POOF,gone. My entrepreneur spirit was delt a massive blow i have to admit

[@pwrightisright8611]

Get back on that horse!

[@gogogomes7025]

I know that it's the power of hindsight, but whenever he tells a pre 08 history i just shake my head, saying to my self. "oh god how nobody saw it coming"

[@SuperCookieGaming_]

i’m going to be honest that yellow lambo with those “ridiculous” wheels actually looks ok.

[@hectorgomez1142]

The whole economy/lending/repo/sales catastrophe is pretty interesting to me. There should be a documentary made about it.

[@ruraltechsolutions]

Lamborghini Murci yo bank she so thirsty, I’m in my two seat Lambo wit da police tryna hurt me

[@mattriella6776]

sounds good in a song...but never gonna happen in real life.

[@dianevrules]

Never had a car payment. Always saved up for my vehicle. Then bought it nice and used. One owner. All maintenance records. The hell with a car note

[@DennisAlexioAndyHug]

Marry me bby. Love me a smart girl

[@sousaldn]

VW CREDIT was looking for Vic and got him conVICted.

[@adambeck6228]

the conviction was vacated then the case against him for fraud was dismissed in 2014. Seems like he got away with it. www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=4471

[@sprthrwwychnnl73]

He plead guilty to one count of federal wire fraud, was supposed to do five years, sentence suspended. As far as I know he didn’t do a day in jail. We all figured he turned states evidence on whatever mobsters he borrowed money from. (He had a history of that) I worked for another dealership he owned at the time. I actually still see him around town from time to time, the last time it was about six months ago. Feels like I’m seeing a ghost every time lol

[@dankap911]

You are an amazing story teller.

[@fireplacedude23]

**Ed for President**

[@kdryan21]

The Ed Bolian drinking game: Every time he references a stolen Lambo - drink Every time he sneaks in an ad for ViWiki - drink Every time he talks about his exotic car rental business - drink

[@signlsirchir2156]

"my stature may be short, but my money is long" Jermaine duprie.

[@mattriella6776]

My success WILL be short , but my debt is Long , Jermaine du....who?

[@ianrussellallcaps]

Automotive Dynamics Your tripping if you think Dupri doesn't have money and is a nobody.

[@miguelhernandez-no5fx]

Very quick and informative guy ,👍

[@ode3665]

Crazy story about Vik who owned the lambo dealership. He actually got off with it! His case was dismissed.

[@chrispeters7152]

This guys storyline is insane

[@bigospig]

I watch every VINwiki video to the end to ensure Ed gets all the sponsor dollars. But, I never mute Ed, Rabbit or Mexican Stig because their stories keep me coming back.

[@boostinserge]

Had a fellow that spent 60k+ on getting a LSX/ built trans for his 2011 ctsv that he financed. Had like 15k left on his balance and fell on hard times so the bank repoed the car. I always tell people until you own it don't mess with it use that money to pay it off instead as you never know what may happen.

[@hungrynapps]

Now the new exotic car flexers are youtuber vloggers . Lol

[@MrDieselmadkins]

Haha.....I used to detail these cars for Ed...Never new the stories behind these cars....Good stuff.

[@manassehalphonse644]

So why was JD’s name alone was mentioned?
