Craig's brother actually seems like a decent dude!
You seem decent, too.
Hopefully, less self-indulgent than his brother.
Your brother is awesome great sense of humor
Very likeable dude.
Not every state will give you a dealer license from your driveway.
You must be zoned correctly to obtain a dealer license...then you get to deal with the state regulations!
I like the vibe and your interaction with each other and the info. Nice to see y’all have each others backs. Great dynamic.
I actually love this channel and seeing Adam start out with Craig and how even these guys are making minor mistakes. Real peaople doing things is always fun. Love the "Blue Hair's dream!"
Adam congrats on getting your dealer license, you're going to do well.. good luck my friend!!
I love living vicariously through you and your brother watching you guys do your thing, much more entertaining than all the mindless fiction on Netflix
Craig you’re a fantastic brother
Seeing you smile while Adam rambles on with excitement
Has brotherly love 💕 written all over it
Bravo to both of you
My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
🌟💫✨⭐️
Adam, great pick on the accord! I bought that same year and model and really enjoyed driving it! SO much fun with the manual transmission and that V6 engine. Honda only did that combination in the coupe but not the sedan which makes it a fairly rare but VERY desirable car.
Are you limiting that V6 6 speed to a particular model year ? Because Honda did indeed put the V6 and six speed manual into the sedans AND coupes in 2006 . I almost bought one 5 years ago and the car was awesome to drive but the black leather interior was not up to my expectations for such a nice car ... lots of wear and rips on the front buckets. The rear seat looked the way I wanted the front to look. But the 6-6-6 combo definitely came on the sedans.
@nickg9021 You're right. I stand corrected. I think maybe just in 08 to 12 the setup only came in coupe.
Yeah, you can't open a dealership out of your driveway in Canada.We call that curb siding up here..
Canada sucks lol
Great job Adam! Keep it up I love seeing the older cars.
Great video, Criag! Love the updates
This is nice, Brothers doing things. Only videos I would with my brothers are physical fights with each other. 😔
So cool you are doing this with your brother. I miss mine so bad. Good Luck Gentlemen, Kick Ass!
Hi.
The Lacrosse, was Awesome!!!!
All the best Shaun🦉 of NYC 🗽
Cool series, looking forward to watching your progress toward the goal of making the dealership your main job. Just Subscribed 👍
I like he's Enthusiasm makes for a good video.
The brother is cool..
I haven't score a 500 car from the auction in years wow good stuff bud
Great job on the video. It’s nice to see Adam is doing well with his first few cars. Seeing Adam’s body work makes me wonder why Craig messes around with body and paint at all. As his dealership grows, you should outsource all your body work to him. That may be the extra income he needs to ditch his day job. Honestly being in the body business I cringe at every car Craig does body and paint on. Especially the Taycan that scratch on the bumper was hard to watch.
Great job Adam. Loving the lower miles cars and all the buys you made. Got lucky on the Honda, but all smart buys.
Good luck to you both!! Happy Easter
Love this stuff!
Your brother reminds me of that feeling I used to have buying beaters. It’s awesome and he’s a smart guy. My only advice is don’t buy what you like ( manual transmissions) buy what sells . With exception of sports cars/ collectibles. I accidentally learned tat from buying a minivan because I was flat broke. Next thing I knew minivans were my thing lol. Now it’s 4 door trucks and crossovers . 20k Is a great start and he’s fortunate to have you there. Time is money it’s time to turn and burn. Get that money guys and good luck!!!
I like ole Adam . Seems like a good guy.
Everyone makes that mistake.
I bought a 97 Wrangler that just needed paint. (I own a body shop) so its no biggie.
It had a 4” lift that was leaning a bit. So i ordered new springs and shocks. Found out the sway bar perch was broken. So im in the process of replacing spring perches and lower links. (Requires cutting and welding). Luckily i can weld. But, looking back. I should’ve walked away from it.
But im in it now. I should make 3k-5k profit
Good entertainment 😊 Especially for a fan of Japanese wagons and the gm3.8
wow so informative great lesson for all of us
I had a dealers license twice over the years. bought and sold cars as a side gig. Eventually the state requirements became so strict that I decided I didn't want to make it a full time thing. Now I buy and sell on the side. I might drive one for a year or two then sell it. When I retire I may get into just older nice cars as the 60's through 80's are my favorite era (and I have quite a few I'll have to sell before I die).
What sold me on my 2012 Chevy Impala .....the remote starter lol!!!
That Accord is a pretty cool car. Fairly rare.
The J Series engine is very reliable. One thing to note is that the engine in it is not the same as the other J Series of the same vintage. 6-spd Accords dont have the cylinder deactivation on it. Its 6 cylinders on all the time.
A good upgrade if you need to replace the engine is a 3.7L out of a TL AWD or the MDX/ZDX 3.7L.
Sir! The people deserve more content we can't be waiting over 12 days 😂
This is very good listening to brothers talk about cars . I don't know if it's a good idea to reveal the condition , what you did to it or the buy and sell prices but I guess you have to talk about something on the channel . Best of luck to both of you.
I like that he is being transparent about the numbers and the work, so many CZcamsrs keep ya guessing. Only downside is a potential buyer might try to use the numbers from the video as a negotiation tactic but I have a feeling Craig’s brother Adam will tell any lowballers to kick rocks.
you are the man!
In Canada we have the Buick allure with the 3.8 in the states you have the lacrosse mostly with the 3.6 I have a 07 allure 3.8 only weird repair other than normal wear items is the gas pedal at 148,000 kms it has two sensors in it and the two codes that come up is one sensor isn’t talking to the other sensor and the other code is the other sensor isn’t talking to the other sensor lol but now at 280,000 kms I had to purchase another gas pedal but it only takes like five minutes to swap out. Car is still giving like 30 mpg awesome vehicle prior to it I’ve had three lesabres awesome vehicles.
Congrats Adam🎉
Hey Greg, I really enjoyed this video with your brother 👍
I want to see more content with your brother in it 😂 this is my favorite video so far
That Matrix is a 300k mile car every day if it is maintained. Great deal on it!
I would pull the bumper cover on the Buick. I have seen many cars where a new bumper cover is hiding damage which has not been repaired.
I personally think I would know how to get a licence, insurance, location, financing, car salesmen association, customers, mechanics, car assets, plus value, taxes, etc. What I am really interested in is the mistakes made through experience, knowledge on cars, and how to choose at the auction (or professional inspector licence). In other words, plain mentoring to know shortcuts.
Best of luck.
Congratulations
alot of the direct injection cars do that with the pcv valve. My wife has a 14 equinox and that thing would clog up the pcv like that and burn oil. It killed the timing chain 3 times under warranty. I fixed it by basically drilling the hole out in the intake that fed it bigger.
Great video guys! Full of very useful info and tips. The advice is greatly apprecaited! Just a question from my side. Started as well (my first real auction buy...started with minimal capital...so 90% of cash tied into it now), issue is, its been about 3months and no real bites. Its prices fair (really well looked after with FSH and nothing to fix), but still no reall bites. Thought i was going to make big profits (based on what i paid....nothing to fix) but the demand has been slow. Dropped price slightly (twice already) no real change. DO i just lower it till i get a buyer or wait it out? Waiting means being stagnant because the cash is tied into this first flip car.
You brother needs to start his own CZcams channel.
Hey Adam. Is the accord still available if it’s running good I’d like to scoop it up as a daily.
My first car… 5spd Pontiac Vibe… most people don’t realize it’s actually a Toyota Matrix… they for whatever reason decided to coproduce them but I absolutely LOVED IT… but cool thing is it was basically a Toyota under the Pontiac badging!!!
Love it!!!
@adamalltogether
He's going to do well...the less you know about a car, the better!!!
get a used low miles motor to replace it...
Any chance you could fix audio for next video?
get your brother a mic i think Rode makes a 2 channel blue tooth one
In RI we need 50k min or line of credit due to no Lemon law. If you don’t have 50k no bueno
Painted the skyline and can not get looked out for at the auction 😅
Yeee Yeee !
Adam is lucky he lives on that road. He's going to do well w/ no overhead. Craig you should ask you're wife if you can do the same. What's ten more cars around the place!
Maaan skip titles when you start. Get a good nest egg 30k and then go legal.
The car auctions I go to 3000 and below are all as. A lot of junk cars. Some auctions are all as is
Yeah you go to public auction
How do I go about contacting your brother. If he still has the accord I want it. GT Speed doesn’t come up with anything as far as car dealers in New Hampshire. His CZcams page doesn’t mention anything about being a dealer or how he prefers to be contacted
Come on maaaan!! More videos?;😂
You both in my opinion seem like two Honest business men and I would have NO hesitation of buying a used car from either one of you.
I plan on also watching Adam’s channel 👍
GT SPEED!!!!!
Always wondered about the meaning of IF bid. Does it stand for anything or just IF the buyer will take the bid?
IF the seller will accept the bid.
@terry-zi7eh Thanks Terry! Sometimes they accept. Sometimes they are reasonable. Sometimes they are out to lunch and you see it the next few weeks ha.
The buick was a gray hair car more than that impala
I want the impala
Why you wouldn’t let brother to be your dealer rep ?
I’m pretty sure you can’t do this in Ohio. They require an actual store front to get a license
Low ball, block them. They can't feedback
Can I buy your accord?!? Seriously.
👍🏻👍🏻
Why in Florida they telling me a need a location and can't do it at my house?
All states are different. Most people don’t wanna live next to a used car dealer so towns and states will ban it.
Are you on a main road or a subdivision?
This is Craig's brothers video about Craig
Here’s a fact for you, only new cars can be lemons. At least under the lemon law.
RIP Poppa Al 1938-2024 😢
Craig why dont you listen to your own advice you just gave to your brother ? Stay away from Florida....Stay away from Mecum Auctions....Do what you told your brother to do....
Buy into his coarse and make the same mistakes coz this guy don’t learn.
Look what he owns. Clearly he’s doing something right.
It makes great content, win or lose . That’s why he was saying CZcams messed up his dealership 😅
@rc70ys What he's showing is that it's human nature to make these mistakes.
You know what it takes to be successful. Why aren't you? Keep making mistakes you know you shouldn't?
Easy to criticize.
Here’s a tip on the sales side from somebody with 50 years experience: don’t look like a bum. Shave and comb your hair and wear decent clothes. It doesn’t have to be an Armani suit, but you don’t instill confidence very easily when you look homeless.
I bought a car from a homeless guy once. Said he owned it for a couple of months and has been living out of it. He was looking to upgrade...it was a great car but later I found out it was stolen 😢
You bought a car that a bum was eating in & sleeping in it?
@@richardmorris7063 sounds like somebody was… Exaggerating a little…
@@richardmorris7063 It was a very cheap car. It did smell a bit like stale bread inside but honestly it wasn't too bad.
@@bams50 the man just needed to sell a car. Nothing wrong with helping out the homeless
This channel slowed up
You guys have a car salesman accent.
How is it that every car has 110k on it that lol
Dang doing a lot of work for not a whole lot of $. Also u guys don’t talk about the title status very often. If your brother wants to put in that much work go the salvaged route and find some nicer vehicles and lower mileage cars to rebuild.
Just sell it to an unsuspecting customer
your brothers can, can make more money doing bodywork, then dealing with selling all the cars
Bro that accord is super rare you can’t find those anywhere he can sell that car for way more than he bought it. I’d keep that thing damn
🤙🏿🤙🏿👍🏿👊🏿👍🏻✝️🇺🇸
I would feel confident buying a car from Craigs brother . Seems to go above and beyond .
Before you know it he will be selling out to the sponsors! With the dramatic thumbnails!
not worth doing paint work on shit cars
Doesn't help his brother at the auction, talks down to him, laughs at him, clearly a narcissist. Show me how u communicate with family members and I'll know exactly what guy you are
Shut up and watch the video
What's the day job?
