Odometer tampering involved I'm placing a bet that the odometer has been rolled back or replaced with a junk yard unit. This screams odometer fraud.
A scanner would probably reveal the true mileage stored in the ECM.
@@24RRTouringNot if it’s changed in there too. 😂😂
It doesn't. Stored on the odometer itself in these trucks (I own a high end snap on scanner and I've gone down this road before).@@24RRTouring
Totally agree
There’s no way that rig only has 26k miles absolutely impossible
Public shaming is the only way to stop crooks from pulling this stuff.
Where do you find scam artists that can actually be "shamed"? The ones I've seen would sell a used imitation wood casket to their mother, then repo the casket the day after the funeral.
ONLY if you show their name, address, phone number and their mother's pohone number
They won't because they are creating the drama. The whole story is untrue
There's deals to be had, yet he doesn't say the price
Former GM painter here. The peeling will make you chase your tail. You can't "repair" it. GM over baked the sealer. It rolls off like ribbons using a razorblade scraper. Then sand down, prime, wet sand and paint. $3500 job MINIMUM.
Sorry to hear this, Tyler, but the whole "don't have pics 'cause it's perfect" would be a *major* red flag for me. I hope your dealer pal has a serious chat with the seller of this thing.
it's a red flag for most knowledgeable people in the car industry. My guess is this was expected from the purchase and used for content
The odometer on that truck is 1000000% rolled back. The wear is indicitave of 180k+ miles on that. Ive detailed easily 50 of these and more than half had high miles and were in this exact condition.
I concur, after I saw the inside there is no way that unit has 26,000 on it.
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes that's what really gave it away for me was the seats
the yellow stain on the left side of the steering wheel that not even the detailer could clean was the deciding factor for me.. 200k+ miles is my guess.@@kylebryant2072
Špot on, definitely not the correct odometer reading.
You gotta name and shame this seller for the sake of anyone who might ever do business with him/her in the future.
Ignorant and naive comment.
He would risk getting sued for defamation of character.
Why would anyone risk that?
Would be more trouble for him than it's worth. Plus not his problem anymore!
Hoovie you should have known better 😢
@@tomsirois5668 really?
I mean he still hasn't learned how bad the wizard is bending him over (I'm sure it's for show), you really think he should have known better then let someone else buy the truck sight unseen?
It's not like he got screwed over, he just got a free ride while down there! 😂
@@tomsirois5668 (He does; his "problems" are for our entertainment.)
I mean.... if the seller can't take photos "cuz it is flawless" is a CRAAAAAZY red flag.... How do you not walk away from that??? Glad the Dealer Friend is okay with keeping it in his inventory to fix first. Hoovie videos... fun/wild as always haha
Right!
But I imagine he got SOME pictures of the thing. He didn't disclose the price paid so maybe that's red flag #2
Intelligence isn't a strong suit for Hoovie and, to a lesser extent, his "friend", too. You can't really blame anyone but yourself for buying sight unseen things.
Exactly. Content and making money whether it was boom or bust.
It's called the dumbest car channel for a reason.
"I can't, there are no defects". And the dealer trusts this clearly scammy quote... WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING???
If that’s the sellers idea of ‘flawless’, I’d hate to see his ‘well loved’ cars 😂
Every person has it's own definition of 'flawless'. Never trust before you see it yourself.
I'd consider his reputation by the same definition of 'flawless'.
Or use a remote inspection with AI - almost as good if you are in another state@@--Warlord--
Those are on Just Rolled In.
That's as flawless as a "rust-free" LeBaron!
26k miles? Yeah that odometer was rolled back
Guaranteed.
Yeah no way 26k
100%. Wouldn't be surprised if the actual mileage was around 120k
Real mileage probably 126k
Guy was a straight up theif
Seller scammed dealer. Oh how the tables have turned.
Shout out to Bob! He is the man! Having never met before, he was behind me in an Alpine at a self-serve carwash and saved my butt when my E46 M3 had a failed crank sensor - he took the time out of the busy vintage weekend to help me out, went and got his truck and towed my car back to Road America. Great to see you guys having some fun in Scottsdale wish I could be there!
That's awesome! He seems like that kind of guy!
Hoovie: I am in financial trouble
Also Hoovie: I bought my dream truck sight unseen
I was going to trade him for the M6 so I didn't have to spend any $$$$
@@HooviesGarage I'm glad your buddy is taking care of you, pricks like that make all the car guys and dealers look bad. Hope you find another one before the prices get stupid.
@@HooviesGarage Ronald Reagan had the perfect line for pretty much all of your various purchases and especially this one: "Trust, but verify." Granted, if you followed that advice and had sellers take their cars to a trusted third party for an inspection before shipping to you it'd make for a less entertaining CZcams channel. Carry on.
that's crazy, not even dumb..@@HooviesGarage
Give him that red broken one with wrong engine 😂😂@@HooviesGarage
So crazy to think a Used Car Salesmen lied
It was a private seller not a used car salesman. Hoovie's friend is the dealer who got ripped off.
Or one that host a CZcams channel claiming he was "scammed" click bait....
@@banderson1979that's called playing the game! Must work, your ass clicked!
The minute he said he wasn’t taking any photos you should have walked. lol
It’s always good to see a Cutlass Supreme Convertible. I bought a fully loaded ‘94 when I was 18 in the late 90’s and I really enjoyed that car.
That truck heard it was going to Wisconsin and immediately started to rust.
Also, a "giant 8 foot bed" was once the industry standard.
Moral of the story: NEVER buy a car sight unseen, and NEVER take a seller’s word for anything. After so many times being “scammed,” it becomes less of a “shame on them” and more of a “shame on me.”
Ever tried a remote vehicle inspection with AI? Almost as good as bring there, except it only works with visual damages obviously
If you make yourself an obvious victim it's good for CZcams views
@@kevinbarry71 Yea I think it's pretty intentional at this point.
"Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... cant get fooled again"
I'm from the UK, my brother purchased a 2006 Honda Jazz from a garage for my elderly mother, i have more knowledge of cars than him,. The car wasn't viewed/seen or test droved! It was a rust bucket! I'm form south of England & the car came up way north, the trunk/boot leaked badlly,all 4 tyres v.bad, no washer fluid,coolant low,oil filter looked like 3 yrs old! Front wiper squeaked badly,rear wiper was pulled off, the gearbox CVT juddered when pulling off. Had FSH (Full Service History) but the oil filter was real rusty! Silicone on the oil drain plug. It even had the bar code sticker you get from a car auction! They didn't even take it off the car lol Had nothing but issues, i just left my brother to sort it out as he didn't even let me know, total unsafe car for my mother. The garage already got a bad name!
That alfa romeo was one of my dream cars as a kid! Never saw them here in America and it's so cool to see one of these up close and under the hood in such great condition!
Same here, if it wasn't for Fiat's meddling in '94-95, when the FWD Spyder/GTV was released it would have been sold here. But no
also one of the ONLY normal pickup trucks you can lay down 4x8 sheets of plywood and carry 12ft long 2x4's WITH the tailgate up and locked in the trucked! i LOVE it
All locked up like a Rubbermaid tote!
Also use "normal" a little loosely there!
Had a friend who was a service writer when these were new. Customers universally complained about how the back window would leak. When GM was asked about the repair, they'd point out that the owner's manual mentioned the possibility of leaking, and there was no fix available.
I would have been 15 when the avalanche came out. And even then I distinctly remember “that’s going to leak for sure”.
See this is how incorrect information gets spread.
Yes the manual mentions it might leak if IMPROPERLY CLOSED! the issue is that you need to really be inside the truck and use both hands to close the gate correctly and how many people you think actually do that?
Of course Chevy didn't have a fix, everybody knows you can't fix stupid! However if they did that, who then would buy their vehicles?(BaDumTss)
They were junk when new, now they're old junk.

Hoovie hey, nothin I was ere, it was a joke
Wow that color on the Corvette is incredible. What a shade!
I looked at those Cutlass Supremes new at the dealership when I was in high school. I still have the brochure they gave me. The most innovative feature was the heads-up display, which projected the digital speedometer on the windshield.
Being misrepresented is the biggest risk in buying an unseen vehicle
Is this an AI comment? Wth
Ya don't freakin' say?!
The dude had every opportunity to do his due diligence and chose not to.
When a seller says it’s perfect ask for pictures to prove it. Anything missing - walk away.
He has so many options, such as getting a local detailer, mechanic, or even a fan to take a pic.
The amount of business scams in America is insane. Same with the company he bought the building from who forced him to wire the entire amount before unloading, knowing they don’t have the entire building on the truck…

@@euroasianbob9268 I'm excited to watch videos on the Alfa's trip home!
Doug absolutely NEEDS to review that Alfa!!!
I got scammed on my E60, bought it in “perfect” condition. Had to replace the steering angle sensor, suspension arms, fuel pump, and maf sensor. The guy had blanked the lights by putting black tape in the dashboard lights and the shop we checked it at was his friend and didn’t disclose most issues
Sounds like a lawsuit
@@abigalanderson7494yeah and spend all that time, energy, and way more money on lawyer than to just fix the thing? good idea 🙄 you know there would be no scams if it was as simple as "lawsuit" right? 99.9% of the time the cheaper option is to just get scammed.
@@abigalanderson7494 unfortunately here that doesnt do anything, law barely work in perfect conditions and when they sell cars here the contract will also include the ‘ accepted as is’ leaving u little to no room for complaints
When you first turn on the vehicle to I think accessories mode it should show all lights lit up regardless of error. Good way to check if something has been tempered
@@genric_sloth971 thats a great way to check but i was in a rush of adrenaline because that was a upgrade from my older VW, only after taking it to my mechanic few days later did i realize what i done
I've never seen so many dishonest people. As there are nowadays. Crooks. 🤬😵😡🖤🖤
As a person who is doing a ground-up restoration of a GMT800 Avalanche, be advised that the tonneau covers tend to collect water in them over time when the vehicle is left outside. The absorbent foam in them will then corrode the tonneau handles, resulting in the panels not sitting flush with the rails and allowing water to intrude into the bed and rusting the spot welds once the water seeps below the bed mat. As long has the cover handle brackets aren’t corroded and the spot welds under the mat aren’t bubbling, you should be okay.
Had a blast watching the Barrett-Jackson auction this weekend on Friday and Saturday! At one point there were quite a few cars in a row that you owned/own/or have featured on your channel.I was surprised that they didn't feature your commentary on more of them. It was great fun seeing the 540K, 300SL, SLS, and SLR all go across the block on Saturday night. Enjoyed seeing both you and Apri on TV for the first time since you created GMYT.

Thank you for always sharing the breath brother
I love the EXT's. These and the Avalanches I always loved the look of.

This was a dream episode. I had a 2006 Chevy Avalanche, and absolutely love the Escalade EXT. If only these beasts weren’t so hard to park here in Los Angeles, I’d be driving one now. I love how you demonstrated the midgate. I used that to help move friends and tons (literally) of bricks and lumber.
Great pod cast. It's very enjoyable to watch.
I love when hoovie is tight ononey means more videos to help pay bills. He gets thr money we get the entertainment. Win win
He just gives it to the car wizard 😂
Lol!
as he should
That’s what I was thinking, quantity of videos definitely spiked
How much $$$ do you think he makes from 1 yt video i wonder..
this is the first time i've seen a sure scam. the paint is hard to match because of the 3 hues in it. the difference will show. the guy totally made money on the 26K miles but i don't even believe that to be true.
No way is 26k miles genuine. And cars that look like that usually hide a raft of other issues.
From personal experience the oil never gets changed and that's the engine knackered.
This car is a steaming pile of crap.
@@jochenstacker7448we don't see a lot to determine if it is or isn't, 26k miles doesn't make a lick of difference or change it being 20+ years old! 26k miles means it probably wasn't often washed, the leather wasn't even getting oil from being sat on and sitting outside in California is going to mess stuff up!
Scratches, crashes and shit work are no indication of how many miles a vehicle has.
The issue is the dude said it was perfect.... Miles don't matter.
HOWEVER I could see the front bumper hit, scratches on the hood and wheel well being transport as well as the broken switch on the seat and missing door trim depending on how budget they went on the shipping! Obviously the clear coat on the roof and driver doors are old and I doubt even the cheapest transportation company will do ALL of that, I mean they would have to literally try at that point!
Why is the engine knackered if the oil isn't changed?
You must remember this is YT, the place where nothing can be verified. It's all just content and clickbait. Who's to say if he actually bought this vehicle?
Been watching the auctions live and the fun couple is doing a great job with the broadcasts!!!!
Sorry, missed your channel this week. Been busy binge watching Barrett Jackson. My family thinks I'm nuts! & My wife imitating the auctioneer. 😂❤
Is there any way to tell if the odometer was rolled back? That driver seat has way more than 26k of usage. Unless the owner just sat in it everyday without driving
You might be able to pull the mileage off the ECU
I bought a low mileage Audi from a police auction. The seat was very worn because it was owned by a fat drug dealer who spent most of his time sitting in it.
There actually are many ways to tell. You can check carbon buildup in the intake system. Check sparkplugs. That's the easiest. Check wear inside on the steering wheel. Those items will always wear unless they've been replaced.
I think the obd2 tells hours as well as miles. Probably didn’t roll the hours back so the math would show more info. If the engine had been on for 16296 hour even at 2 mph it would have lots of miles per hour..
There's a cadre of people in my neighborhood that drive these Avalanche-based Escalades. It's kind-of eerie how many there are.
I've never seen a single person use the bed of it though.
LOVE the Turquoise Metallic Vette! If it had the Buckskin/Tan interior it would be just like the one my Dad had.
Hoovie walking through the exotics area like, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" 😆
One downfall with those GMT800 is the mileage is stored in the cluster and nowhere else. You can simply plug and play a lower mile cluster or change it with a bench test unit to set it to whatever you want to be. But still a good buy I'd say! I owned and loved an 05 2wd 6.0 Escalade until it got totaled at 275k on the original engine/trans, replaced it with a 06 230k mile 2wd 6.0
Great set of cars picked up by Bob!
Hoovie your wonderful enthusiasm for all things auto is infectious.
What a superb car show with fabulous vehicles.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
Good to see Tyler & Bob getting along after succumbing to the Asian Persuasion
Ultimate Hoovie consumption! Watching this vid and looked up and Hoovie happend to be on TV too! 😂😂
I had an 03 Avalanche and I used that fold down midgate all the time to haul stuff. One of the cool accessories you could buy for it was a custom molded cover that would go over the back of the front seats to protect them and even protect part of the rear door panels from being scratched by the cargo you were shoving into the back of the truck. I think I might even still have it on a shelf in the garage. With 3 boys at the time it was the most versatile vehicle I have ever owned.
Sad you got scammed on the Escalade - hope your dealer friend doesn't lose too much on the deal, and good luck as you continue your quest for a good condition EXT. And thanks for the sneak peek on EA Bob's buys - wonder if we'll see a couple of these on the Car Wizard's channel in a few weeks.
On a side note, I love Bob's shirt.
That Oldsmobile convertible is awesome! Love that 6 speed C4 too!
Finding it really hard to believe Hoovie got scammed on a car deal; probably hundreds of car transactions!
Much respect brother Godspeed in your endeavors truly 👊🏻😎🏆
Dream truck? Does that mean more towing videos? Sweet!!
Obviously, this is a towing channel
@@Pjanoo1 Not just a towing channel... Highest rated EV towing Channel on youtube! 🤣
That Alfa Busso engine sounds amazing from inside the car, the mic didn't pick it up too well. But in person - driving, and under load - the engine sounds amazing. Not sure about the exhaust on the GTV, but on the 164Q/QV this engine was incredible.
Sounds a lot like an rb
Love the videos! Make them longer if possible
Most people are terrible at assessing the condition of paint. Enthusiasts will tell you their car looks incredible and then you see it in person and it is swirled to absolute hell. That truck is a completely different story, though. Those are very obvious flaws that anyone should disclose.
Loved my Avalanche but she was rusting like crazy and it was getting to the point where the brake lines were scary to even look at. I miss how smooth the ride was on long hauls, don’t miss the gas milage though.
The clusters in all these era of trucks are notorious for failed stepper motors. It is super common to have these units rebuilt and this truck most likely had one come back from a repair facility with an odometer reset to zero miles. The expectation is that once re-installed the tech is supposed to re-enter the recorded odometer value from the previous cluster. So your truck has been driven 26,000 miles with a rebuilt cluster.
Friend of mine’s father had a 57 300SL Gullwing for decades. An impressive auto no doubt. The crazy thing was the drum brakes. Looked like semi truck brakes and probably where. I know they used fuel injectors from ME 109 Messerschmitt
I just about fainted...owned a 93 Cutlass supreme white white red leather and have always missed it. Mine was 4 door but always dreamed of a convertible one day and check for sale but none ever come up. Great find Bob !!! Wish I had the money
Thanks for sharing! Good luck!
I'm not going to buy anymore vehicles sight-unseen. I've been mildly burned twice now on BaT, buying low mileage cars. The first one smelled like an ashtray when it arrived. Naturally, the ashtray was missing because the dealer just threw it out because it smelled so bad. The second purchase was just dirty and smelly inside and I spent $250 for an interior extraction, plus lots of little flaws that should have been disclosed. BaT should do better policing of sellers, considering its upper-end retail auction prices.
I almost immediately recognized the shape as either an avalanche or ext... Given the very clear love for the esclade platform, I pretty much knew it what it was going to be
I love the full width mid-gate on the Escalade/Avalanche. I have a Baja and our door is only like 65% of the width so it has limited usefulness.
Sounds like a "Hey Moose, Rocko help the judge find is check book" type of situation.
that has 150k plus miles on it regardless of what the clock says lol
Love the 3 litre V6 GTV, the finish on those engines were epic
Hope you had a great time in my home state of Arizona! 😊 I almost went to the Barret Jackson here because it’s only 30 minutes from my house now I’m regretting not going. Smh

i got a 2009 chevy avalanche the same orange as your cadillac eldoroda! sunburst orange i believe. love that truck. paint matched plastics and bed cover. i daily it for work with my home rehab construction company and its damn near flawless with almost 300k miles.
Congratulations, Bob, love that oldsmobile. Those cutlas supremes were beautiful.
Thanks! Loved the Cutlass first sight back in the day. This is my first one!
@euroasianbob9268 Looked at 1 in 93 that was brand new and almost bought it wound up settling for achieva. They gave me a heck of a discount on I screwed up but I will say when the achieva was running. It was a hot little car.
@@mikebelcher5111I did the same, but didn't have the money to buy them. I still have the Cutlass Supreme brochure and a VHS video they gave me of the 100,000 mile Achieva road test.
I would be shocked if this wasnt rolled at least back once, or maybe even twice. Definitely atypical wear for 26k miles.
The seat is a dead giveaway. Thats not 26k miles of usage. I can accept the paint condition from the sun for 20 years but there’s no way the seat would look that bad
But the tires are old enough to be seriously weather cracked, so it could have just been used for a ton of short distance trips.
@@volvo09 Yeah, those tires are so cracked it would not surprise me that they are original if the mileage is correct.
I once bought what appeared to be a perfect low mile car from a 90 year old college professor who was famous in his field and lived in a custom mansion. I figured he had to be trustworthy so I skipped the pre-purchase inspection. Indeed, it served me well, but a few years later I sold it to Carmax and they told me the entire rear end had been rebuilt. Apparently the old man was rich enough to pay for the repairs out of pocket so it didn't reflect on the Carfax. I don't trust anybody anymore.
That's shitty of CarMax to lie to you like that..... Isn't really much of a surprise however since they try to screw anyone and everyone!
What you mean the entire rear end was rebuilt? Your mention of Carfax leads me to believe you're talking about the chassis/body and with that I'd love to know how CarMax determined "the entire rear end had been rebuilt"......
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 Agreed, I'd like to know as well

Wow! Didn't realize they had 6 speed manuals back then. Apparently it came out in 1989
That's when ZF made their transmission.... Before they did the stupid transaxle crap!
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 although I do recall the Acura legend had a six-speed manual
@@joshpinchuk7061 sorry I thought you were talking strictly about Corvette's not just in general.
Nissan had a 6 speed in 89, that is the only one I know off the top of my head. A quick Google search though yielded the result that Alfa Romero in 1967 had the first 6 speed manual in a car.
Issue with most cars is 6th gear is just a second overdrive! Considering that's the main reason for it was to meet EPA regulations. It would be nice if they geared them for acceleration in the lower gears. It's funny when people ask "is it a 6 speed?". Even funnier, high horsepower T56's delete 5th gear! Anyway....
That Alfa is gorgeous. And it sounds amazing.
You don't want to own it through, owned 1 for 2 months(with the tspark 4 cilinder) and gave it away because the brakes gave up on me. Tried to use the handbrake to stop, but that broke as well. Took me like 500meters to get to a stop by braking on the engine/ hitting a curb.
@@thijscream1649 that sound like a bad manteined brake sistem.
Everything on the car was rusting away, and yes was bad maintenance. Should not get passed the yearly check, but apparently it did. But in general would not own a alfa thats over 10 years old.
@@thijscream1649 no doubt. They are terrible cars to own, but they are amazing to look at it.
@@thijscream1649 well, i have a total diferent opinion. Im going to purchase a 20 or more year old model.

But if you really like a car, dont mind how much it cost to repair or the problems it have. (that go for all brands, any of them are free of problems)
Keep us updated on the truck!
UAB scored pretty well at the auction. That C4 colour is amazing, That Alpha is a piece of art. Can't wait to see it on a Wizard tour. That 1999's purple Mustang is still a nice looking car.
GTV’s with the V6 are actually really rare here too (uk) because everyone bought the cheaper 4 cylinder or (this is difficult to say) the diesel!🤢
More truck videos? Must be time for a towing test with it and all your other trucks, that’s what you are known for, right? 😂
Induction noise on the Alfa is excellent and arguably better than the exhaust note!
I snapped a picture of that Olds when I was there on Monday. A buddy of mine had a blue one in college. Too funny.
I appreciate your dedication to producing quality content, and I thoroughly enjoyed your recent video. It would be wonderful to see a restoration video featuring this truck. However, I understand from your previous video that it may not be feasible at this time. Nonetheless, please continue creating such fantastic content.
I can't afford Barrett Jackson cars but I did bring home a 1994 Cavalier Wagon from Phoenix this past weekend. Made it home to Detroit with no issues 🤣
Did it come with its own bungee cord to hold the hood closed or did you have to provide it yourself?
Hey Tyler.. Great see and talking to you again at Barrett Jackson. Hopefully you garage gets finished soon. 🏎🏎🏎
Hell yeah Bob scored some nice rides that olds is sweet you definitely don't see many of them anymore... You know with Tyler working at Barrett Jackson I'm surprised he doesn't end up buying more cars especially with the selection and easy access ☺️😎
I'm kind of surprised a dealer doesn't have a deal worked out with various inspection services, for non-local purchases.
Depends on the dealer. I do believe however there are companies that have people all over the country that can look, test drive (if wanted) and take pictures for you. I think they have an entire check list they look at and guarantee an accurate report. (Or they fix it or buy it back I don't know🤷)
A couple hundred bucks spent can save thousands of dollars and headaches!
Thank you Tyler for the excellent videos you do! You are my FAVORITE CZcamsr and I always watch all your videos as soon as they come out. My wife LOVES Good Morning CZcams and thinks April is just amazing (as do I).
The new Silverado EV RST is going to have that feature where you can fold down the rear seats and make the bed super big. Whenever it comes out
The colour on that vette is "little mermaid turquoise" :D Now that Alfa, I can tell you thats a helluva car, and a keeper, bob has good taste.
