run up your engine wow there's some news
for you
back to the future fans it turns out
that the war in PMC twelve cars are
gonna be married again they assume that
it's gonna be you around 2021 that
they're actually gonna be up for sale
those classic DeLoreans that you see in
black to the future realize that
chlorine himself he named the cars after
himself only made like 9,000 of these
things and in these 9,000 6,500 still
exists today there is an obscure law in
the United States it's called the low
volume motor vehicle manufacturing Act
of 2015 it allows a certain amount of
cars to be built that don't have to mean
all the federal regulations they can
build up to 325 cars per year and they
don't have to meet certain regulations
but there was a technicality with the
law their suits have been going on and
now it looks like they cleared the suit
so they'll be able to build 325 or less
there's all kinds of paperwork and stuff
that they got to fill out it'll probably
be 2021 that they'll be able to sell
these things what they're basically
doing is they're remanufacturing all
DeLoreans there's a lot of parts stores
around they said it's gonna have a new
engine and modern amenities in it which
to me makes total sense because those
things were underpowered there were
relatively heavy vehicles and they had
this v6 engine that wasn't the most
powerful engine on earth they were
extremely underpowered so it wouldn't
make sense that they would put a bigger
engine anything now they're floating a
pricing around a hundred grand so
they're not gonna be giving these things
away and they're actually not brand new
cars they're kind of like refurbished
and they put new engines and they'll be
redesigned to some extent but they're
still gonna look the body and
everything's gonna look the same so it's
gonna do that classic back to the future
looked and Hank if they're only gonna
make 325 or less per year
they're probably easy you may able to
sell them because there's enough people
on the planet that want to buy oddball
stuff through the course of my lifetime
I've seen people sell small volumes of
bizarre type cars and especially in the
less
or so they seem to be more popular with
people oddball stuff so if you're only
gonna make that many a year it's a big
planet with billions of people I don't
think it'd be that hard to sell 300 of
them a year watch on 2021 that you can
actually buy yourself if you've got a
hundred grand lying around not really
knows that asks you these are extremely
popular United States these days you
might be surprised to learn that the
popularity of older ones is starting to
go on a upswing older suvs and also
older pickup trucks are increasing in
value but these car auctions seventy
seven percent of these vehicles and
auctions sold at or above the asking
price normally of course especially when
things are kind of juxtaposed
economically auction cars go for less
than what they're asking or they don't
even sell them at all because nobody
wants to bid but it seems that even the
older SUVs are going up in value as an
example in 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer sold
for a hundred and ten thousand dollars
which is 200 percent more than what they
had valued at in the first place I mean
I think someone's insane to pay that
kind of money for an 89 Jeep Grand
Wagoneer I mean that is another example
the 1954 Dodge Power Wagon went for a
hundred and ten thousand which was 80
percent more than the thing was valued
at people are kidding it'd be all good
stuff I mean if you think about it it
only kind of makes sense because that's
rarefied air the classic want to go for
a bunch of money people are all looking
for something different it reminds me of
a friend of mine ages ago did work a
golf cart six golf carts at this fancy
Country Club on the East Coast he also
did cars and trucks well one of the
millionaire's in this fancy golf club
liked assault truck and he said hey can
you get me an old truck and fix it up I
want something different I don't want to
be here with a brand new one I want an
old and it looks like it's no so he
found an old fifties truck and he fixed
that all up for the guy and it looked
like brand-new he showed me the pictures
of the thing
even back then this was 20-some years
ago guy over a hundred grand into this
old truck but it was a unique truck and
all the other millionaires they started
to think the same thing and then they
were paying guys to picks up really old
trucks for them to drive you know it was
kind of a competition of reverse
snobbery old trucks but they're all
fixed up and look fantastic so when you
get into this rarefied air and people
playing that kind of money for old SUVs
it doesn't actually surprise me that
people are gonna pay that kind of money
for it cuz it's kind of like you might
have the brand-new as you look at I got
no I got a 3040 year old was I got I got
more class than you I could see that
happening Toyota fj40 Land Cruiser it
went for sixty one thousand dollars
which was offered fifty percent more
than they even thought the thing was
worth this whole thing does show that
even that's starting to slant towards a
few SUVs because the cars they were only
58% of selling at what they were valued
or above where 78% SUVs that we're going
for the same price or higher so it shows
that even the old ones are becoming more
popular
that's your beats taking over the world
I guess here in the United States
Stubing 10:23 says Scottie hope Falls
well my uncle's friend just bought
himself a used 2018 Lamborghini or
12,000 miles I think better made than
the supercars are the even bigger money
pits than a Land Rovers well I guarantee
of it they're even bigger money pits in
the Land Rover state the earth is the
Lamborghini SUV I mean somebody want to
tell me years ago as Lamborghinis gonna
make SUVs I'm like wow the world's
turned upside down on its head but
besides a certain amount of people that
are gonna buy anything that's got a name
when it comes extremely rich people and
snazzy vehicles from what I've read
that's their big seller now they're
yours or SUV out sells their fancy
sports cars right so I mean that's the
world these days right well your uncle's
friend gives more money and he knows
what to do with so it's his money he
wants to waste it on that thing I mean
let's take it it's only you know year
and a half old vehicle and he bought it
used why did the original get rid of it
you know kind of makes you wonder I had
a customer buy a used Mazda from the
Mazda dealer I only had 1500 miles on it
and I put on my big scan tool and I'm
like something's fishy and I'm watching
the math sensor data from how much air
goes in the engine the car was idling
fine
tachometer was just sitting there but
the data was joined 1.4 grams per second
1.2 grams per second point nine eight
grams for a second Oh while the engine
was I going at the same speed it's
impossible for the air to be changing
that much then I looked at the misfire
data and it showed that there were
various misfires on cylinders and then
when I wrapped it up I went down it
showed there were more in his first car
wasn't running right hit 1,800 miles
when should you look up some dad on it
so he paid for the CARFAX which isn't
always exact but at least if gives you
bad information you know that's bad so
he finds out that this car was sold at
auction and a dealer bought it at
auction with like no 16 1,800 miles on
whatever it had why was this car sold at
auction and he has a problem the guy
took it back to the dealer and said huh
even I tried to pull a fast one on they
obviously didn't know they bought it
from an auction why would anybody sell a
car that's got 18 her miles an auction
auction cars go for less money so
obviously there's a problem with the car
and with that why would anybody get rid
of thing that's year and a half older
lose a fortune you sell it when it's
year and a half old you're probably
gonna lose half to three quarters of
what you paid for it so obviously it's a
problem already
your uncle's friend is insane well at
least the ones in your uncle or yourself
you're making a story up and it is you
and you don't want to admit you made a
mistake
cheyanne 25 7-eleven says I got oh nine
Toyota Matrix brake lights but no tail
lights recently replace the alternator
and the headlights are on the car will
die the battery quickly drain with the
lights on please help you have what's
called live short those are the worst
electrical problems to try to figure out
because it happens while the car is
running now if you got a dead short you
let your car park and the next day it
doesn't start
they're usually relatively easy to find
because there's a drain on the battery
you put a test on it and you see it's
got maybe in a 1 amp drained and then
you start pulling the fuses out and
pulling a wiring off until the drain
goes down and you know that's the system
that's the prop we're not running you
can't test them that way they're much
harder to test but you have
some type of electrical problem you said
you replace the alternator recently and
if you put the headlights on the car
dies just have alternator and a battery
load tested right now could have been
you got a bad alternator most
alternators you buy aren't brand new
they're remanufactured hey
remanufactured things a lot of times
there are remanufactured right they
don't work right so that's where I would
start if you haven't been wrecked and
floated or anything like that on that
vehicle odds are it's just a bad
alternator I've had it happen to me I'll
buy one someplace and then a short
period of time later it doesn't work
anymore because they didn't rebuild it
correctly
that's twr says Scotty I'm thinking
about trading my two thoughts top Dodge
Avenger 74,000 miles I had to replace
the heater card as a small debt my
sister got into windshields crack and
it's leaking a little cooler I want to
trade it for a 7 Honda Civic eh with 119
thousand miles dealer says he can give
me 2500 for my car and on the Civic is
29 okay so it's gonna cost you 400 bucks
to trade do it now as fast as you can
before he changes his mind the Dodgers
are endless money pits you've already
seen you how to change the heater core
and the thing and there's a lot more
things that are gonna go wrong down the
line that would be a very smart move
Honda's can last for really really long
time but pay mechanics check it out you
got no idea what has happened to that
Civic so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos
remembering to ring that Bell
