- After looking at hundreds of flooded supercars and exotics at copart salvage auctions, we ended up buying 3 of them! This video reveals our new 2018 Maserati Granturismo that we bought for only $30,000 sight unseen at auction. Will it start up and run for the first time?? This car was flooded in Hurricane ida and could have had a blown motor or other electronic issues, but it turns out we may be in for another huge home run profit! The spec is one of my all time favorites, this grey over red leather is stunning!

The exhaust fills with water even with low water line. When the car is hauled onto tow truck ass first the water makes it way into the engine. The oil pan should be drained and cylinders drained before any starting. If there was any water in the pan which the dip stick indicated then starting the engine may have damaged it. Carpet needs to come out and all electronics inspected below the water line.
They know how to fix cars new viewer?
@@mmid8960 they know what they're doing yes, but they always love input from viewers who may know more
@@mmid8960 Just cuz You do something, dosnt mean you're perfect. You learn new stuff every day. :)
And spark plugs too
@@nov23gbe I would definitely pulled the plugs.
"it did crank a little bit"
just enough to destroy it :)
Pure luck on this one. Zero brain to start it with milkshake oil.
You should always pull the spark plugs out and then crank the car to see if water comes out or if it's just fuel and oil because if it's hydrolox you can do serious damage
What kind of serious damage?
@@VerryJerry90 blow gaskets get water in the valves also can cause rust which can score the cylinders
@@VerryJerry90 car stops working...
Exactly.......have seen other channels also buy flood cars and not know any of the basics. Crazy.
It clearly had water in the oil. At least change the oil next time before attempting to start a flood car.
Okay sir
yep never start a milkshake also don’t let the milkshake in it one day longer than you have to
that's it you tell them how to it the right way. 🤣🤣🤣
My car has oil in the coolant reservoir what could be the cause?😬
@@abelkurian1266shut up fr, go back to watching Dora
I dont think its a good idea to run the engine with that oil water mixture but whatever its your car... You should also borescope the cylinders if theres any rust on the cylinder walls
it would be a good idea to drain and inspect the oil first
Definitely drain the oil put new oil and filters, but pull plugs first to check for water this is why there was one plug out in the beginning of the vid
this was my first thought as well....
Better to change the transmission, engine, and differentials oil, and yes the borescope is an excellent idea, also, pull the spark plugs, someone writed that in the comments section, in a sunny day, leave the vehicle completely open, or even better, vacuum it, remove seats, some of the interiors affected by water BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE; it's a lot of work i know, but better be in the safe path in a case like this, it's worth it.

Watching people starting flooded cars right away hurts my brain... And obviously they know not to do it lol 😂
the temptation is too big...
EXACTLY!!!!!
loving the flood damage content everyone's doing right now 🔥
Who exactly?i think JR garage is first this year 🤨
WD Detailing detailed a fully submerged Subaru STI last month. This car had seashells in it. They cleaned because the owner is going to part the car out.
Yeah it never hurts to start a flood car 🤣
This is amazing!!! Can't wait to see it when it's done and the new cars your bought !
My gut says another win. You two have a great thought process to up your odds of scoring on salvage auctions.
On this one I wonder if the owner was having some problems with the car and used the flood to sell it off to the insurer. Could be the battery was bad, and it had a couple of nasty dings that would cost a lot at a body shop. It is in the area of the flood so why not. Pawn it off to the insurance for write off payout and they have a payday.
Y'all are awesome! love your tube Did this with a yacht - had lots of work to do. Still was a blast.
Much love ❤️
Excellent! Really great content right now! Shout out from the UK 🙌🏼
Love all your content guys !! plis never stop 😁
watching them play around with the buttons on the radio and seats while the flood damage car was running was heart pounding for me. hope that engine turn's out ok in the end.
Man i am excited for some great rebuild videos and reveals!!!
Hell yea such a cool car! Love the interior color! Good luck, hope you guys are rippin it around next video!
Watching your video for the first time already loving your channel
8:53 I love this because this is EXACTLY what I was thinking as you did it
funny enough i have the same problem with my buddy’s maserati, a 2018 GrandTurismo too. he drove it in the water and water got in the intakes and in the engine. His mistake was he tried starting the car, of course misfires happened and car stalled. Currently in the process of getting fixed for him, so far electronic parking brake module is screwed, needs a new one from Ferrari/Maserati and that’s over $1000… plus gaskets and all new ignition coil pack. as well as couple of things, ranking up to a total of approx 2-6000$ total. Good luck guys!
I feel like 30k for that flooded Maserati is a big gamble and good thing it runs but I don’t think you guys will get more than 35k for it, people are scared to buy flooded cars even after it’s fixed
Your videos are so addictive, and without knowing it, I have spent 2 hours watching quite a number of them.Definitely want to continue watching. Subscribed and hit the bell. Keep it up. You guys are cool!
Shut up
Hi guys,
Wow that’s really a nice Maserati so I hope the engine damage is not a too big issue but that you were be able to fire up this car gives a good hope even running on 7 instead of 8 cylinders. I’m very keen to learn how you’ll manage to fix the car that it can be back on the road again so I look forward to your next vlog. In the meantime I send you love from the Netherlands
Yes someone took the intake boot off to check to see if there was water in the intake and it took the cool pack out to make sure there was no water in the cylinder head that way when they cranked it over it did not bend a valve or rods or anything like that!
If you back feed the Ciggeritt light with 12 volt ( or 9 volt battery sometimes ) It will open as long as the fuse block is good. Old hack for stereo install for memory.
When you first start a Maserati the check engine light stays on for like 15 to 20 seconds as it does a system check then it goes off
Should of done a oil change
But they bought an X pipe
When the battery goes flat it will trigger the suspension and electronic brake light. Easy to fix. Will probably just need a reset once the battery is charged back up. Drain the oil , replace with new oils and filters , check spark plugs and possibly replace with new and you’ll be good to go.
Awesome purchase wish u guys Goodluck !
Great content guys!
Based on the comments on the last video, those start up attempts could be costly lol
YOLO
Yes, there is a procedure to follow if there is even a chance of water being present. Drain oil and flush cylinders out. Hope the motor survives. 🙏
I love the editing on this video.
Good to see your high expectations after the brief inspection .
the yard did know about the trunk unlock.. there is literally an arrow pointing to it on the door frame they wrote in with a grease pen to show you where to open it
I thought he said that was the indicator to the height of the water level.
Crazy i was just rewatching your other mas video like yesterday
Great find!! Reminds me of a Jaguar F-Type
Great find. Good luck 🤞
This video was so good. 🔥
Please Christan from next time onwards whenever you get a flooded car drain the oil and change it multiple times if it's milky and even if it isn't still change it. What you did right there, mixed the oil even more with water because of the engine running.
They literally put inop for the electronic release and a yellow line pointing to where the maual release is.... when these cars are new they don't usually know. but considering the design hasn't changed since 08.......they know.
Damn I was excited for you when it started like I just bought it myself!
Good buy
I always love love flood buy’s
just found your channel. a big fan of the flood car videos
Love the Channel guys
Love your job dudes.
First view on your channel fromUK. Looking forward to the repairs, I loved my Maserati 👍👍👍
When the engine started i was legit happy FOR you guys lol
well done boys!!! hello from Peru
Without flood or any other type of damage these vehicles spend more time in the service garage than your home garage.
Exactly, maseratis brak down constantly. They're just poorly engineered cars with great sound and looks, and that's about it.
Mine never breaks
Wishing you all the best on this beautiful Maserati 👍🏻
Thank you 🙌
New viewer here, you guys are fun to watch. Is there a website people can view your cars you resell? I used to own the largest bmw shop in Austin. We had a few big floods here we had to evaluate some cars for insurance companies we saved a few that the insurance thought was hydro locked, but the driver shut it down before there was damage. Just pulled all the plugs and fuel pump fuse, take hood off and crank the engine over with a battery supply and watch the geyser of water exit out the heads, pretty entertaining.
Awesome find
This is a great car!! I'm excited to see the Porsche!
Great flood car content guys
On Maserati GT, the check engine light comes on for 19 secs after start up & goes off…it’s normal. The TPMS module is under that plate in driver’s footwell. I think it’s shot but easy to replace. Don’t know about suspension light, probably Skyhook suspension not working…sensor or module damaged. Brake lights blinks and goes off normal. This car is very sensitive to battery voltage & some crazy lights can come on when voltage low. Put a new Interstate battery…best one for Mas. My gut feeling is most everything is ok but battery is bad. A bit of water got in engine but I doubt it’s damaged or check engine light will stay on. Needs air filter & fluid change. The fact that it started and moved with no check engine light is very good sign. Let us know.
Fresh or Salt water!!? Makes a huge difference...and are ECU's at floor level or any under seats? In any event, I would not even think to crank over, until I flushed out and drained engine oil
Thank you for the mention 👍, hope all checks out and that we can hear this baby roar very soon 🐍🐍🐍
this is crazy dude i remember playing forza motorsports with you when i was way younger didnt even know it was you till now
Use an jump starter that connects to cigarette lighter. That worked for me on a Boxter with a dead battery.
Can’t wait to see this project!
Should be fun!
Watch yo buddy the way he look at you he in love 🤣🤣
You guys are very cool 😎. Love ❤️ Maserati 🔱
I live in AZ too I would love to see the Mazi when it's fixed.
The big yellow arrow that was marked on there TR? (for trunk release) haha
I love the look and sound of the GranTurismo, great buy!
Maybe not the most reliable or of the best quality, but it´s a lot cheaper then a Ferrari or Lambo....
Not true. I spent over $35k on parts and tires over 7y. So far with my ferrari past 1y only $250 for window regulator and $750 for headers. Masi always had major suspension problems and ate through tires. New ferrari 2010+ are so reliable which is why @normalguysupercar sold his 458 Italian. Not enough problems for content!!!
Cheaper initially, just as expensive in the long run considering how unreliable Maserati's are and how expensive maintenance or repairs are on them
excited for next video
Nice work brother. Looks like a lot of more Maserati Gran Turismo sport evolution of the Modified Cars from the Future of the Auctions.
Guess i need to buy it with the 2009 Corvette Z06 Sport for genius.
You've lost me after "nice work brother". 🤨
Look for the New, trofeo line ups, would love to see one, very nice and tuneable.
I’m a car dealer and what I’ve seen people avoid salvage title and flood damage like the plague. Where do you find the buyers? Do you price it at 50% or retail?
Good videos though
You saw the condition of the oil and the first thing you did was try to start it??? Why would you not pull the plugs, drain the pan immediately. I'd honestly like to know your thinking on this.... it also said jump where the pull string for the rear hatch was so of course someone was in it you noticed.
Silverspoon babies
I need to get cars with you guys! Because I buy from co part and flip cars but it’s been a while for me!
Get yourselves a Carly Diagnosis kit! It's highly recommend..
Took me q moment to realize this wasn't the same one that randy from auto auction rebuilds had looked at in oaklahoma at copart lol pretty cool tho that it runs and drives
Daaamn my best maserati car
Wow! When it finally started up I yelled out loud "yeah!".
water gets in from blown head gasket,oil water on stick is from flood,seems just change oil twice with engine flush might clean it
You guys should have taken it to Serg at Real Life Exotics. He’s the king of flood cars.
Yes he drops all the contaminated fluids first and cranks the car with the plugs OUT before attempting to start them!
@@markbennett6658 that’s who I learned from
I personally own a GranTurismo and I highly recommend getting a new battery
good for you guys
I've got nothing to say but please keep it up.
Well done lads
I want too see the Porsche Taycan S (Electric) in Baby Blue - You said You were going to show US!!
For the suspension light,maybe the control unit which could be under the passenger feet and is flood (or has beeen). A thing i didn't understand is why the owner hasn't tried to fix the car
"I don't think it would hurt to try to start it" Oh but it could....it REALLY could
Beautiful
I wouldn't even want to deal with flood cars. You guys are serious risktakers
Love the content
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
I owned a 2011 QP for 7y. The EPB fault usually means you need to replace the module located in the rear trunk. I had that problem. Also had a cam bus error. Never had any suspension issues for shock. Word of warning that car will eat through bushings and ball joints. I went through 3x sets over 110,000 miles!!!
wow!!! I have a bmw, How much more expensive would a used gran Turismo be to maintain? like a 2008?
@@Anthony-qh1xv its not much more. But you want a 2014 or newer if possible. The older ones had variator issues. But still great cars.
@@saylorcomputer ok cool! somewhat reliable?
Yes for sure. My GT has been the most reliable exotic I have ownwed. I would not be afraid of a well sorted older one at all.
Was only stranded 2x over 7y on the side of the road.
Excellent content.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful cars
these old granturismo have gone up in value recently. Really nice cars.
All used cars have went up, nothing pertaining to what car exactly
These are junk
.even as new cars
Why did u not change that oil before starting
The yard knew about it. It says jump right where the release was.
These cars get a post flood detail I'd buy the blown big block Camaro rear it completely apart and put it back together and it should be good to go
Engine light on maseratis stay on for a bit for auto diagnostic, other than that it goes off
How do you get New York salvage titled cars registered in your state ?
did they change the oil before starting?
I know how the suspension fault light is on the suspension Electric maybe but I say the handbrake is a fluid or it’s just old
Hey Man, i will soon be getting my drivers license and i am looking to buy a car under 5000$, any advices on what cars and where to buy ?
What a great deal
