Thanks for sharing with us, Ed. Enjoyed listing to your strategies. Pointed out a lot of good points when buying or selling a car. I found myself in a similar situation with someone a few weeks ago. Was looking at a Lotus Exige. He listed it for $30,000 with 80k miles on it. But CarFax was showing me the body had 149,000 miles on it but the engine only had 80k miles. That was a red flag. Then he had some scuffs in the front as most Lotus' have. The one part of the door handle was cracked on the inside. There were a few things wrong. I made an offer for $25,000 at fair trade value and he got pretty pissed with me. Told me to stop wasting his time and let me have it. But I am glad I didn't buy it come to think of it. Something didn't seem right when he wasn't up front with how many miles were on the body. I had to dig that info out of the seller. I did point out the issues with the car, how much it would cost to fix but he still got upset when I "Low-balled" him in which I thought was a fair value for what that car had. But there are other cars out there. I just told him to have a nice day and move on because I know there were will be more deals. Love your videos. How does one get a chance to come onto the channel and tell some stories?

dapz325 I’m no car sales man but I successfully flipped a few cars in my time. Organising a Pre purchase inspection scares them because they might find something and it takes a considerable amount of time to drop the car in and some people ask the owner to pay for the ppi , the type of people you are going to get a deal with are people who want the car gone with at least trouble as possible, this means you go in and say you will be giving them no trouble but this and this needs work so I can only pay you so much . You won’t find everything wrong but if you are reasonably mechanically minded you will pick up on most obvious problems that will inhibit you when reselling the car. I delt with mostly very low value cars so most of my money was made just cleaning and posting a good description & photos when reselling. Often making $500 to $800 on a car

Dude lost control of a whopping 180hp BRZ going straight at a stoplight, also admitted to wearing oakley sunglasses (puke) while doing 100mph+ in a residential zone, getting punched in the face for it and then tattling and calling the cops on the guy. He talked like he wanted to be Ed Bolian but only if he was a huge douchebag and had a personality that made you want to bully the crap out of him. Had mommy and daddy buy him 5 cars by the time he was 21 yet was preaching "be happy with where you're at".. Yet he'd chane cars every time he realized he couldnt fckn drive. I couldn't stand that kid..

Everything Ed says here is gold. My last car I bought for $2k about 6 years ago using just these types of tactics, fixed it up, and drove it trouble free since. Now I bought another and will give the previous one to my sister. If you know what you are doing you can take the risks and take the profits associated with those measured risks. No perfect car will ever be a great deal. Always buy one with problems.

From reading the title i knew who's gonna be in this video 👌🏻

Between learning about negations from watching my dad and listening to Ed’s stories I was about to negotiate 7000$ off the asking price for my 93 rx7 R1 Efíní edition but picking apart every issue the car had and explaining what it would cost to fix and tracking down as much information I could on the cars history. Now I own my dream car at 19 and a good project car.

So I’m new to this channel but in the past 3 days, I’ve fell in love. Awesome channel, great stories!

you are a great talker. i could listen to your stories all day. thank and keep them coming

Thanks for the information. I've been watching a lot of the videos from vinwiki and this is the best car show on KZread right now.

The video we've all been waiting for!

Everything you just said to do is exactly what I have taught myself to do when buying vehicles to flip. Your videos are always the best.

Great advice! I listen to these videos like pod casts. This is better than car talk on the radio! I'm a total motorhead

Well said Ed. I really don’t think I will ever get sick of hearing your stories, or all the advice you’ve been kind enough to share with all us car guys. I’m glad vinwiki and the channel is doing so well, and I hope nothing but the best for all of you guys👍

Ive done this so many times. Do your research....most ppl who owe certain cars don't know much about them. Good tip thou ed. Keep em coming.

Best title of a vinwiki episode yet! Instant smile to my face. First time I've ever thumbed up a video before watching. Great content as usual.

I love listening to Ed tell stories like this.

I finally bit the bullet yesterday and found a 04 Jeep Cherokee SE with one owner. I got it checked out and is in absolute perfect condition with only 93k. I feel like from watching these videos and being the shrewd negotiator I am, I drove off in it the next day at a steal of a price! Found it on Facebook and looked at it the same day too! Thanks guys for all the hard work you do, on and off the camera!

I love watching these videos and seeing the advice you have to offer, as well with that I'm only an hour north of ATL so if you ever need a hand with anything, you know how to get ahold of me! Anyhow, I am astonished by how well you were able to explain things that I almost didn't realize I even did while buying a car (something that I do for a living, I might add). Borderline "consoling" the seller, explaining why you're so much easier to deal with, and making on-the-spot cash offers is 60% of the reason I'm able to buy vehicles at the price I do.. seeing that collected and explained its extremely impressive, and shows that you're very, very good at what you do. I've subscribed and hope to see more content soon.

These videos are the best part of my morning VINwiki goodjob

Ed could sell a Matchbox Ferrari on a 10 year lease at $25 per month including pricey add-ons such as hand made walnut display box with leather lining and the Ferrari made of 3D printed carbon fiber and real Michelin rubber tires.

Thanks, great video. There is a car I've been eyeing that looks abandoned and this video just gave me the push I needed to make a move on that car.

Thanks for another great video. Also, I just finished the book (For the Record). Really enjoyed the book - car guys and gals should all love it.

Thanks again Ed for the insight. Definitely will try to hone those skills.

People always ask me how I find good such good deals, my advice is you have to look like it's your job, you should be checking the marketplaces 2 or 3 times a day, because deals don't last, and 2 you will rarely find exactly what you're looking for, but you can usually find something good while you're looking.

Great advice. I am buying a car tomorrow morning as a work vehicle ('07 Impala).

Don't underestimate your voice. It is amazing, the tone, the melody, the pauses you make. It is incredibly persuasive!

Been watching Ed for years, finally got a chance to put his advice into action. Went to buy an Aston Martin DB9 from a Chevrolet dealership in Tacoma, WA where it had sat for a year. After some 'shrewd negotiation,' they met my substantially lower price! And now I have my dream car.

Taking charge of the deal. Another key is eye contact...... Lock them in your sights and shoot them down. “You make your money when you buy the car not when you sell it” Great Vid ed!

I was waiting for this for a long time

Woo, the stories I have about negotiating a cheap car are amazing. I bought a Saab aero for 700 after he was walking 1500. Bought a 1 of 1 diesel Saturn for 250 too.

You tell the best stories! MORE! Thanks.

When buying anything, if you felt like you got a good deal, then you got a good deal. That’s all that matters to me.

I saw that pink Lamborghini Diablo driving through a small town in CT a few weeks back!

Appreciate the wisdom... I have a 20,000k warehouse in west Atl. We are shifting from custom signs to custom cars and performance shop. We also have shop space for rent if you or know someone that has a project they just need the space.

These cool talks just keep getting better and better!

The video I’ve been waiting for!!!!

Ed at his best!

Time for more Ed. It’s gunna be a good day.

Great video! I've heard you use Shrewd several times!

really sums it up. Too many out there lazy, not researching cars, and throwing numbers at the wall. Ed, so spot on, sellers will likely go with the lesser offer if it's someone they like, with few exceptions. Build relationships...deals come to you

Been waiting for this one for a long time

Ed stories are always the best!

Even after an avowal, detailed like the one here, there seemingly persists a distinctive difference between a shrewd negotiator and the shrewd Bolianator. I bet 10 to one there are a lot more stories up the pipeline. Thanks so far, Mr Ed.

This was a video to like before even watching!!!

He has a point, I used the same concept when buying my 09 335i. Fully loaded, xDrive, 6speed for 13.5k CAD, when other listings with similar or higher kms were at 17k-19k. I went in with knowledge of the car, explained the turbo wastegate rattle failure, fuel pump, injectors, leaky gaskets, and ultimately got a steal on the car by negotiating quick and paying full in cash.

Thanks Ed, need a new car soon. Boutta buy an Acura TSX with this new education. Gotta start somewhere.

I always ask ‘can you help me on the price?’ it makes people want to be a little more negotiable without hurting pride.
