You already did the hard part bro, making the transition. Now get obsessive about it in a good way. In other words, work your ass off. But keep in mind your thoughts are very powerful things. Don't focus, ever, on failure. Focus always on success like its a foregone conclusion. No matter what. If you're always fearful of failure and think about it all the time you'll manifest failure. Likewise, if you're confident you'll be a success then you'll manifest success. Believe it. Believe in yourself. Always stay positive and don't give way to fear and negativity. You got this bro.

Alot of them are just unnecessary. It chops the videos up so bad lately that it makes it difficult to watch.

Always love your videos, Craig! I wish not only more dealers / sales reps had your level of expertise, integrity, courtesy, and professionalism. but more PEOPLE! Between your talent in the auto trade, plus your entertaining and informative videos, you should never want for employment.

Another informative video action packed. Thank you!

@4:00... I wouldn't be surprised if you can just replace the hatch with a good, non rusted one for about $300. Might even be cheaper than the labor cost to fix it (depending on what you pay your guys). @7:35... You MUST clear coat the headlights after your fix them or the WILL re-fade in just a couple of months. As a used car dealer, in a few months isn't your concern. However, for anyone doing this on their own car, take note, if you don't clear coat them, they'll fade again very quickly since polishing them removes the factory UV protective layer.

Great video Craig. You made a nice solid SUV for sale. Low mileage for the year and a solid drivetrain, someone is going to buy a nice SUV!

I use truck bed coating for much of the same type of thing that you are doing but ALWAYS clear coat over top ot it will fade like you Cadilac did.

Try a strong magnet on the cluster and pull the needle back to original position, takes a few minutes versus all the labor to remove and repair gauge cluster.

Nice video, welcome back.

Nice quick flip

craig you re a master, thanks for the tips.

Drove a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer LS for 11 years. I actually did the needed maintenance (which wasn't much) and the vehicle (inline 6) was very good to me. Bought it for 16k and sold it for 5k. Was a very economical vehicle when taken care of. The sharpest, best looking? No. But if you took care of it; it was a good SUV with a sunroof that treated me well and allowed me to save a lot of money. Drive a Lexus LX570 (Lexus Land Cruiser) now. Much better vehicle; however the Trailblazer was good to me (despite what I see from other examples on the road). It's definitely easy to fix up and maintain yourself.

That's a hell of an upgrade 😂 I have a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer and can only afford to jump to a certified used Toyota 4Runner 😭 The Chevy has been a great truck though and I'd buy a newer one if Chevy didn't make them so small now - I've only had minor issues, I changed all the fluids regularly (transmission, oil, coolant, brake fluid, never the power steering fluid though since I had to have the rack and pinion replaced anyway lol) - Bought it for $7k and the dealer is offering me $3k to trade in but after this video I think I'll post it on Facebook Marketplace myself for a little more... Great cheap trucks overall.

I bought a 2002 fire engine red for $1,500 used and it treated me well. For 2 years I only had to put maybe $500 in it tops. And that was just for trailer arms and stabilizer links. Which is my fault running late to work. Speeding on the freeway in snow doing about 110 mph spinning out and did a 180 and they all snapped. Thank you God no one was hurt. Changed my own spark plugs and coils that's it. Unfortunately when I bought the truck the frame had a crack in it that was sealed with probably flex seal. Overtime the truck began to lean on the passenger side in front. I drove that truck until I couldn't drive it anymore it leaned so bad to the point that it wouldn't move anymore. Sold it for $700 it lasted for 2 years though strong. The only reason why I didn't get it welded is because the price was far more than what I paid for the truck so I just sold it.

I enjoyed the video and learned quite a bit. You also seem a little bit happier in the video. In the last couple of videos, you seemed a bit stressed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Excellent work and now suv looks great and yes $5000 sounds about right

@@stefanpuffer all the info is in his videos and anyone with half a brain can piece together the end cost for this vehicle. Add another 1k for shop labour to take into account his employees effort to clean the car and another 1k in fix costs for the car and parts. So anyone figure out the cost is around 2k. He doesn’t pay his employees 100 dollars an hour. How a business works is the profit he is talking about is cost of car plus parts plus outside costs directly related to the car and that is the car profit. Does not take into account shop costs. That is a cost that is absorbed by total revenue generated by the business since employees are working on multiple cars at the same time.
