What's it Like Daily Driving a Stretch Limousine IRL? Selling the Limo?

[@pcguy13x]

the 98 limo i had, which i mentioned in the other video, i would actually get 20 to 21 mpg, which shocked me. but when you would have it full of people, you could tell you had the extra weight, you had to give it more gas to get it going, and start stopping sooner, and of course, the gas mileage drops, lol. parking can be tricky, like you said. and getting parts for them things are expensive. you have to get the heavy duty Deville parts for everything, and they prices are A LOT more expensive.

[@Oklawolf]

For what it's worth, a photographer buddy of mine drove these DeVilles for years. They were always complaining about coolant level... common issue. Apparently they like to go through sensors.

[@lesmokealotesquair8288]

Was smoking outside and said to my wife I wonder if anyone has daily drivin a limo.....

[@Michael-cw7pf]

As a former chauffeur driving a limo was awesome...I used to get 25 mpg from a lincoln town car limo...turning radius wasn't bad....you just have to use every inch available by turning the wheel first before you move

[@wysguy91351]

I almost daily drive a 120" stretch LTC in Las Vegas and it is not as bad as everyone thinks

A week is forever for Randy.

[@jayswartzbaugh8553]

Congrats on the new house! Thanks also for being so honest about the Northstar engine. We had two vehicles with them. One was a Seville STS purchased new in 1993, and yes, the head bolts pulled loose at around 100k miles. It also was a repair nightmare, sending us back to the dealer every few months. The build quality on this Seville STS was marred by GM’s use of cheap failure-prone parts. We went through 3 automatic trunk closers, which always jammed in the partially open condition. If you tapped the HVAC controls too hard the buttons would pop-off and roll under the seats. The air conditioner suffered constant leaks, requiring numerous repairs, and the engine used a quart of its 8 quart oil capacity every 1000 miles, which GM said was normal. After a final breakdown wherein the flywheel physically separated from the engine due to poor factory welds, we sold the car at a significant loss, but with great stress relief. We later inherited a 2000 Coupe DeVille, which was equally failure prone, We. Sold that one within a few months, after several thousand dollars in repairs, and within a month, it left the new owner stranded, and he quickly re-sold the car. Both vehicles were very comfortable and road great, but GM’s poor build quality, use of cheaply built parts, faulty engine design, and failure to take responsibility for design errors ruined the overall ownership experience.

[@DachsAutos]

Always a ton of things going on man! Will be sad to leave the pool and that awesome yard, but far less upkeep at the new place, and a lot less neighbors! You made some major moves in the last 3 years I've been following you. That limo is awesome. Kids would love rolling up to daycare in that, HAH!

[@Leon-uj7pc]

That is a good plan Randy. Buy them, Drive them, Enjoy them and then move them down the road to a new owner, cross it off your bucket list and get something else. The Northstar is not a bad engine, just one that a person needs to keep up with the maintenance.

[@mahatma171]

The HD livery suspension doesn’t ride super harsh, but it does ride a bit firmer than a Deville sedan of the same era. The gearing and final drive is different as well. Yes they did have some issues still in ‘01 with the head bolts. They do good with maintenance. They also do good when you use all of the 275-300 horses from time to time. They like it.

[@geraldsmith9540]

Don’t know how I missed this video, weird. Must’ve missed the notification for it. Glad your going to be out of there for good Randy. To much house to take care of and be renting.

Make sure any extra mortgage payments go to the principal and not the interest. Interest is front loaded. You pay interest first. Write two checks. One for the mortgage and one to go to the principal only.

Heey Randy, I was wondering if you do export as well? Is that possible with when you have a wholesale license. Greetz from Holland, Martijn

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Yes that can be done through IAA.

Because here at AAR we sell it all..yes sometimes limos..retired FedEx trucks....Looking like lots of road trips ahead

[@chrisosiecki8050]

Off topic question. Any car transporter you use to transport from IAA remote lots to a different state. Planning on purchasing a car in Detroit, want to get it to SE Wisconsin. And, it is a non-runner. Not even sure if it rolls. Need parts from it, so easier and cheaper to buy a whole car damaged in areas I don't care about.

[@albertagibinik9230]

Keep eagle eye on temperature gauge, 98 after Northstar engines got update studs bolts. Put water wetter or similar in radiator. Temp goes up pull over check radiator.

[@billymerritt8142]

My friend had a real nice limo he bought it at an auction he was about 60 years old he used it to haul his coon dogs in . You would seem going down the road with about 20 dogs in that thing I used to laugh every time I seen him coming down the road

Yes. He's a wholesale dealer, which means he is only allowed to sell to other dealers or car auctions like IAA or Copart.

The best channel and it's host thank you Randy respect 👍

[@Jimsathome]

I know it's a little bittersweet for you to leave this house, but the new place is yours, and your early payoff in 5 years is absolutely the best decision for you, and your family. You'll have pride of ownership in the new place and hopefully another adventure there, possibly building a better shop? (Driving back & forth to AAR HQ and maintaining 2 places has got to get stale after a while.) I think selling off AAR HQ and plowing the $$ into your mortgage could cut your timeline significantly. Maybe you could put in a pool at the new place too! All work and no play would make Randy a dull boy. 😉

Randy trust me. I have watched your videos for a long time. I know better then that when say you are going to keep something. I know you weren’t going to keep it. It won’t be long until you fall in love with something else and you will get rid of the Tesla and your truck.

[@j.t.woodruff2201]

Your best bet would probably be to shake loose of the limo. Since it is a 6 door funeral car it probably won't bring the kind of money you want. Plus the Northstar scares buyers. Could be good content, but, you're going to have to make an investment in some interior upgrades plus the opera lights which are cheap.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

I always wondered why you didn't get a used car dealer license, so you could sell retail. I hope the limo sells well for you.

The last time I road in a Limo, talk about a World of luxury! If the person complaining about the temp gauge should have waited till you got home instead of assuming! I knew the gauge was accurate on a cold start. Digital gauge.

[@charliebruckman8661]

First, i've driven both Cadillac and Lincoln stretches and yes, the turning radius is bad on the Cadillac. Lincoln has a better turning radius. Secondly, 5500 as is IS a very fair price. I do hope you get that though. I personally enjoyed this content. Yours truly, Charlie the Limo guy.

The NorthStar is not scary, it was just an engineering blunder that screwed an otherwise good engine. I don't enjoy paying $4000-5000 to repair a 50k Mike engine...on two cars. Worst cars we ever owned for cost of ownership. My Acura cost me less than $500 of non-maintenance repair during 16 years and almost 300k miles.
