Surprising my Dad with his Dream Car (75% off MSRP)!!!

- Buying my Dad his dream car and surprising him with it out of nowhere was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I surprised my dad with a new car and he did not expect it at all! We saved over 75% off of MSRP by not buying it from the dealership!
With luxury cars it's better to let someone else buy it new and take the huge depreciation hit first. Then you can buy it at an amazing price with low mileage and just a few years old. We wrapped the car with an Indulgent Blue wrap to make it look amazing and we learned how to change the oil in an exotic car to save a ton of money!

ChrisFix glad you uploaded this video! I love all your videos and was upset that you were thinking about not posting this one. I can’t wait for all these new videos!
This man is crying because he is reminded he did a good job raising his child.
Exactly. Something like that atleast.
I Agree!
Me too !!!!!!!! Good job !!!!!
Noo, a good father never ever wants something in return from their children. The only thing that makes a good father happier than the car of his dreams is to see his children happy.
Too true. Don't see it too much these days
I love the fact that his dad was already excited about the mini car
I would take that too it low key looks pretty cool
Yeah that toy car is actually at least 300 dollars

Chris,
You made me cry. I am a proud father of two daughters, but I couldn’t gift my father the way you gifted your father. Lucky are you.
Keep doing videos, they are really useful.
Thanks a lot!
This is a really heartwarming video Chris, I want to be able to do something like this for my parents one day. I can't imagine how proud your Dad must be

Your father's hard work is why your mother could raise you and your sister without worrying about financial troubles. Buying the Maserati Quattroporte and the Ford Thunderbird were acts of kindness and respect towards your parents.
Bawled like a baby, not ashamed to admit it. What a proud dad, and a great son. Love this so much! ❤
I didn't cry but I got close. I lost my dad in 2019 and we never got to build the porch or make the hot rod we wanted to. Glad Chris and Mr. Fix got to share a moment
I like how the dad was so happy even with just the toy.
That's exactly what I tought.
Wish I'd have a family like that.
This is something you do for granted while it should not.
A big thumbs up from Ol' Europe
The kinda guy that deserves nice things. Nothing taken for granted
Yes but that's not a toy, it's for collectors, some models are really hard to find, for example I've been looking for an alfa 147 and an alfa 159, for years now I haven't found the right size to fit the rest of my alfa romeo collection (1/24).

Wow, what a response time ! Just want to let you know I found your channel a while ago but didn't have a car to work on yet. About a year ago I bought an 18 year old BMW E46 to a complete scam of a garage. The car looked fantastic from the outside but the garage had cleared the codes on the dashboard right before giving me the keys and I didn't know what clues to look for when buying my first car... Shortly after buying it, I got a quote from BMW to get it back in decent conditions (3000 euros).
I never meant for this car to become a project car but it did. Your videos are the reason I got the motivation to start learing how to fix this car. I'm almost done getting my now favourite car into amazing shape for about 800 euros (including buying the tools). And that doesn't even count the money my dad could save when I started doing all the maintenance of his Saab 95. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all your work, for saving me from bank ruptcy and giving me one of the most rewarding hobby I ever had !
Donut Factories p
You have to be greatful for what you get
Yeah! What a setup! He was actually praising the model, how the doors open and all that! Apparently a simple man. Doesn't take too much to make him happy.
Very touching Chris, I’m sure your dad is very proud to have a son like you !
That moment was beautiful, even i was moved to tears, well done Chris, my full respect goes out to you, not just for this, but all the videos that have helped and will help out so many people, including myself. Thank you.
That moment when your dad turned around and seen the car, I smiled from ear to ear and started to cry. What a beautiful moment!
It was priceless!
The best part it is saved forever and we all got to partake in it.
Me too
Yup, I cried. One day I will be able to do this for my dad. Congratulations Chrisfix, what a great experience!!!

Priceless Chris. Your father has a wonderful son. God bless you both...

i really love that you still care about your parents, its really wholesome
Chris that was one of your very best videos. My dream car is actually really closely related to this one; the previous gen Quattroporte GTS (2009-2012) with the n/a 4.7 liter V8 engine. Very well done, your Dad must be quite proud of you.
"I wanted a reliable daily driver so I bought a Quattroporte."
Literally no one has ever said that before. Chris, you are the first, congratulations.
@JawDropper literally.
Not only can he fix everything, he is such a good guy at making the best automotive videos that he can afford to fix it. The car looks awesome, his dad loves it, he can afford to fix it and more than likely will know how to fix it. So... what's the problem?
I mean compared to a Jaguar I'm sure it's an improvement.
Maserati is actually a reliable car. I’ve a MC Stradale for 7 years and it never give me any issue before beside the regular oil change and clutch wear.

Jeremy Clarkson: Am I a joke you too?
Come on, you know you wanna hear ChrisFix go over the "quirks and features" of his dad's new Maserati!
What's funny is auto play is wanting me to watch his review of a bmw m3 by doug right now.
I laughed through my tears when the dad was plugging the channel so modestly, like "he's my son, so I'm partial, but it has good information". Sir, your son's channel is one of the very few things that redeems this mess we call the internet, your pride is very much warranted!
So true, if there was an official catalogue of internet resources, which have a real value for humanity, then this channel would have been there.
bravo!!
Two years later but this was beautiful to see. Your dad instantly starting to cry got my eyes wet too. You inspire me to be able to give back like this to the people that helped make me the man I am. I've always had a thing for Nissans to answer the question, and it's honestly tied between a Fairlady / Datsun or 2016 GTR. Would looooooove to snag a 2016 GTR for 30k these days but COVID screwed up used car pricing.

Your dad's reaction speaks volumes to how much love is shared within your family. I definitely teared up a bit. I'm not in a position to do this for my dad and I'm not sure I ever will be, but maybe because of all the money I've been saving doing my own car maintenance (thanks Chris), I'll be able to get my dad his dream car one day.
This is just beautiful. Youre an amazing person and a great son. You nor your dad will ever forget this. He did a great job raising you and seems like a great guy himself. Family is everything.

Is it normal that after 3 years I watched it again and cried with your dad! You're an amazing person.
I lost my Dad in January of 2019... I miss that great man.
Very nice gesture and a very nice video.
Russell Stephan thanks Russel and sorry to hear that! I can’t even imagine.
Thanks. Much appreciated. He was the first person in his family to graduate from high school. He went on to put in 80 hours past his master's degree of further education. He was a career-long public school educator and administrator, athletic coach, community anchor, and family rock. But, he wasn't a DIY guy. It just wasn't his thing. However, it is my thing.
I buy nothing new. Cars, dirt bikes, street bikes, household appliances, power tools, welders, and anything else, in great shape, but used. I also hold out for the absolute minimal cost.
Dad was always stunned at the unbelievable prices I paid for my finds. At every phone call, he'd be dying to know about the latest acquisition. It's not like I have to buy used (high-end IT career), I just can't stand the unnecessary waste in addition to the challenge to get more for less. He really did beam when I would fill him in on the most recent score.
This whole last year, every single time I uncovered a new dirt-cheap find, I'd think, "He's gonna love this one." Then, I'd catch myself...
I really can't complain. Very few have someone in their life like my Dad. But, damned if I don't miss him terribly.
Russell Stephan my condolences.
Russell Stephan I’m sure he loved every single one and is watching all the finds you have now. My condolences to you and your family
