It’s nots the power plant that’s unreliable, it’s the electronics. The infotainment is known to have issues with operating properly as the car ages. And LS motors have electrical malfunctions from time to time other than that, wonderful cars. I love Cadillac’s and having a corvette platform these cars are best bang for your buck
@@chustlerm he is a sales man that lies when he says "the only reason...because it went through the salvage auction." No, the only reason it is salvage is because it had $25k worth of damage.
Also there’s no law that says it has to be fixed by anyone’s standards , it can literally be bubblegummed together and you’d never know , the ONLY way to buy a salvage title car is to see it before during and after the repair ... to be clear I’m not saying this one was or wasn’t rebuilt badly I’m saying he is wrong or lying when he says it HAS to be repaired to the insurance companies specifications... and even if that’s WAS the case... the insurance company is trying to get it done as cheaply as possible as well ... he totally car dealered the explanation of what happens with a rebuilt title car !!
I rebuilt Cars in New York and Tennessee. Both states don't really follow if you do a good job rebuilding. Their main concern is that the car isn't rebuilt using stolen parts, so they require receipts for the major parts that you are replacing. I know Georgia is pretty strict, they actually inspect for frame damage. Anyways I am selling my 2018 Genesis G80 32k mile for 24! Sport Front end and wheels!
I do rebuild cars also, in Quebec, and here, it's very severe! They ask for the complete file of the car, the history, the original damage evaluation, pictures of each step of the rebuild and on the frame bench. The inspection include frame measurements and security inspection. All my cars were salvage. Never bought a car from a dealer since 78.
CTS-V has an LSA 556 hp, 580 for ZL1 5th gen Camaro, C6 ZR1 Corvette has a LS9 638 hp, they are very different motors and superchargers. LS2, LS3, LSA, AND LS9'S don't have DOD lifters. LT1, LT4's have DOD lifters.
LOL- I was scanning the comments to see if anyone call out the DOD. I have a 2013 Opulent Blue Metallic CTS-V Coupe with 47K miles and 616 rwhp. The 556 was at the crank.
The LSA block is very different than the LS9. The supercharger and heads are similar enough to be called tuned down but overall it isnt the same engine. Would love to see the FW logo you are wearing on a tanktop...Im in Texas so the hoodie isnt going to cut it
You need to look after your mechanic, body repair guy is his name German ? He shows loyalty and respect , give him a pay rise , buy him a car , show him you appreciate his work , top man
Another great video, & those CTSV's are a couple badass rides🔥! Definitely loved the 240SX clip, you should get a few JDM cars on your lot like that Nissan Z that was at the Auction & maybe a few (late 90's) Acura Integra R's, or the turbo Eclipse's if you stumble across any. They would be a great investment for sure & most likely sell pretty quick as there getting harder to find. Keep it up brother lovin' the content 👍🏼❗
Rebuilt titles are perfect for daily drivers. They are alot harder to sell because people are scared to death of em. Some of the salvage titles should of never been salvaged.
How do you have enough time in the day to run a car lot, do CZcams videos, do ninja training, family time, and now dealing with companies that want you to advertise for them?
Tell the real story ,in most states if it has a salvage title it had more than 50% of the value in damage. Can’t get bank financing ,can’t get full coverage insurance, and value is at most 50% of a clean one.
Wow- I just looked up the VIN and there was a lot of damage to the rear. At least a broken axle and possible differential damage as well as suspension damage. The rear wheel shouldn't point in the opposite direction as the car does.
Craig, I really like your videos but please improve on audio levels of different clips and finetune your cuts... You will grow even more with those (huge) improvements! :)
Hey I buy & resell salvage/rebuilt title cars all the time. I’ve seen some with just paint scratches that were marked salvage by the insurance companies. They are GREAT deals!
Nice rides!! On a side note, how sweet would it be to clear out the shop interior completely, get a sponsored new floor epoxy, fresh paint, new fridge ;) all over a single weekend too!
Is there any way to check whether the frame was twisted/damaged due to the collision? That would be my biggest concern when looking at a vehicle with a salvage title. The report showed the car had "severe damage". It's possible to hide that frame damage with brand new quarter panels and still have perfect gaps. Maybe a 4-wheel alignment?
I only got 5k, so I don't think I can get it. I wish I could though. I want a V6 Mustang. 2014- 2017, if you can find one for under 5k I would buy it from you. Helping a subscriber get his dream car. That's a good video idea. And I got a sob story to go along with it.
They're both awesome I had the resources I'd fly over there and pick one up great job Great Cars love them I had to GTO 57 here years ago and it was awesome totally done up
Love your videos but damn there is so much overlap in your videos. Half of this videos footage was already shown in your last video at auction of buying the second CTS-V. Its like 8 mins of new footage in a 22 min video. Really milking the youtube bucks there I see.
Whole reason I haven't oredered that splitter yet. It looks amazing and for $350 it's worth it but I'm afraid I'll never get the car out of my driveway! LOL
The car was in an accident, insurance adjuster looked at the car and it would take over 25% of the cars value to repair and therefore it was considered a complete loss and a salvage brand placed on the title. The previous owner could've purchased it back from the insurance company and repaired it and it still would have had the brand on the title. Being sold at the insurance auction doesn't make the car have a salvage title.
I own a 2011coupe also, it’s white. It only has six cylinders but in manual mode it’s still lots of fun. I get to drive past more gas stations than you.It’s my midlife crisis car and it hangs out in the garage until I need it.
I'm looking for a 15 lexus rx 350 rwd in a year I'll most likely need to get it out of state I live in NY when I'm ready I'll see if you can find one for me for a fee of course
I have an Aussie ford falcon Xr6 turbo and it has 500+ wheel horsepower and it has only cost me $27k AUS. It’s a shame ford USA didn’t let them to be exported to you guys because they are even more reliable than the 2JZ & RB25 engines and they produce ridiculous power that can be daily driven. You guys are getting the engines exported to there and they don’t cost 100,000 to get 1000 hp they are a twin cam 4.0lt called Barra
stinger bumper on the 10 is gross as are the angry eyes on the other 2. with so many cool options to choose from i don't understand either of those mods
1g6dv1ep2f0100224 literally google the vin and you’ll see pictures of damage. Funny how that works huh. Also airbags did blow. Yeah I’ve been screwed on carfax before.
Are there any rules of thumb when pricing a rebuilt title? Does the actual damage change resale value or does the rebuilt status on its own reduce the book value by a particular percentage? Are there certain auctions that specialize in rebuilt titles?
The hardest thing for me to do at that age was to be patient. It's hard to save money, especially at that age so keep your powder dry until you find the right deal.

Man German looks like a super humble guy
Word has it is going to start his own car dealership soon
fax
since day one of the vidoes
Give German a camera and let him fly free from his boss. I think we'd see excellent results.
The LSA platform doesn’t have DOD thankfully. I also own a 2015 CTS-V in Crystal White, but it’s heavily modded. Other than that, great video!
Car was given a salvage title due to it being written off due to damage, not just for the fact it went through a salvage auction.
Right, he is hyping it as a small technical issue, but the car was in a total loss wreck.
But isnt that based off the cost of the repair vs the value of the vehicle. Isn't that a technicality. Also he is a car salesman.
@@chustlerm he is a sales man that lies when he says "the only reason...because it went through the salvage auction." No, the only reason it is salvage is because it had $25k worth of damage.
If you google the vin you can see the pictures it looks like someone sideswiped another car. Whole quarter was destroyed.

Two part Epoxy Tip: after it sets up hit it with a heat gun and it will go back to a liquid state and flow so less sanding later on.
That’s a great tip!
german needs a raise haha hes always there working hard making those cars look crazy nice

Don't sleep unfortunately and good deligating with a solid team
He’s like Daniel LaRusso LOL
You can't beat the supercharged LSA 😎
I would buy it but my wife would make me sleep in it. Might be worth it too!
Haha. If only it were a wagon, you might be able to sleep in it comfortably.
Fuck it do it man! You only get so many chances to buy the car of your dreams.............

You need to buy a paint meter.
true
Wow- I just looked up the VIN and there was a lot of damage to the rear. At least a broken axle and possible differential damage as well as suspension damage. The rear wheel shouldn't point in the opposite direction as the car does.
I checked CL and these are going for 40,000 in Portland...you got a deal!
you have to get your Pre and post inspection when filing for a reconstructive title and obviously obtain documents of ownership of parts
Can we see some drifting this year
Hope so

Is it easy to get financing on rebuilt title vehicle
That splitter made a huge difference 👍🏿
Said 6 time CTS-V just in the intro... I'm pretty sure he loves his CTS -V.😂 Cars look sick

Me either and I am lowered an inch.
Hey CRAIG, Which websites do you think are best for listing cars for sale?
The car was in an accident, insurance adjuster looked at the car and it would take over 25% of the cars value to repair and therefore it was considered a complete loss and a salvage brand placed on the title. The previous owner could've purchased it back from the insurance company and repaired it and it still would have had the brand on the title.

Lucky man to have 2 of the best caddies out there
Having two of the best caddies is like having 2 of the hottest fat girls.
@futureworksexpress You lack humor, I'm sure you've been told that before.
@futureworksexpress Who the hell would ever get married?
@futureworksexpress Or 48.2% in the US, which is basically equal to 98% to someone that doesn't do his research.
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime you hear Cadillac CTSV.

Yeah, well 2015 is worth it alone. Very rare. Very nice. Very jealous haha.
Keep the right off one as it not near the clear one is
No dod on a LSA.
Why does that white silverado have window tint I thought you said you couldn't sell them with tint??
Just bought it
I want a standard caddy V series . Really great looking cars .
You got a lot of jeeps 😍😍😍
Tax season
CTSVs are pretty rad. I like the wagon the best, but the mpg is a bit of a meme.
I have two CTS-Vs. Don't judge me.
All i think about with those cars is the premium gas bill every month.
@@stressfreepaperchase3215 not if you drive them every weekend like a vette lol!
Great video! The Ridge Wallet is amazing, I own one in Burnt titanium!
It looks like it's time to take an engine from one and put it into the other so you have duel engines in one car. ;-)
stinger bumper on the 10 is gross as are the angry eyes on the other 2. with so many cool options to choose from i don't understand either of those mods
you're Awesome keep doing what your doing. your workers too love seeing them
You're one lucky man you know you should just give me one on the west coast and you can have yours on the East Coast please I said please:-)
Craig are you looking at selling one?
I always wanted one of these
How do I get a hold of you about possible getting one of those jeeps but I do live out of state should I try your site?

Heavy on the Jeep stock.
Woah i hadnt noticed ..
German Costanza with that wallet 😂

You love the Cadillac CTSV, got it lol 👍🏽
You recommend using carfax or auto check for car history?
Carfax typically provides more information than Autocheck does.

A dealer selling cars with salvage Titles. Bad news!
If I get to meet Alyssa , I will buy the other CTS V coupe LOL & the Talon
Deal
@@FlyingWheels You said you will sell me the Talon ? LOL
I wish I could come work with you. And you could teach me a few things.
Sounds like some gay action
So how much horse power does it have I forgot 😂
Cant you swap the seats out of one and put in the other one.
Keep the 15...what are you asking for them? And did you buy the Pontiac Grandville convertible?
Beautiful
Dam bro I barley saw 150k subs when you started trading up to a lambo you had 50k ish that’s crazy
Must have sold them. Not on website now.
