You are Copart's best advertisement.

Strip down the black SRS chop shop style. Use the parts you need and sell the rest. Sell every single part on ebay.

take what you need and part it out. recoup your loses.

Man oh man Ive been binge watching all your videos the past 10 days. Ive learnt so many things from you. May God bless you and God speed.

I would get the fender and bumper you found that already have the correct OEM paint color. MAACO will never match those fenders off the black SRX as well as OEM.

yea but easier said than done. Doesn't maaco have the fancy paint matching laser handheld thingie like they have in paint stores? That thing does a pretty good job. Car-part.com probably has the correct color fender and bumper he needs but its probably not from a wrecking yard close to him. If it were mine, i'de take all the parts i needed off the black one and scrap it.

You heard it from the man.... Trust in Big Al - he knows of what he speaks...

Pro tip.. if you want to pay down your debt quick, don’t eat out (even Subway). You will eat healthier and cheaper making meals at home. Save going out to eat as a reward for reaching a financial goal. Love your channel.

Honest KZreadrs are a rare breed these days.

Uberman? More like SRXman. 😂

Your actually one of my favorite channels to watch ,your channel will be very successful.

When an engine seize up, you cant just unseize it and go on. The bearings melt and clog the oil channels, thats why it seized again. After you started the engine, you should drop the pan and change the bearings. If the engine is not physically damaged, you can still do that.

Thanks for the share randy, very humble of you indeed 👍👍👍

The mid 00s Cadillacs had quality issues with interior pieces. I had a CTS- V1 that had the same dash cracking issue. Now my STS-V never had any quality issues. You should definitely look into one of those. That was truly a beautiful car that packed a lot of power. Only 2440 ever built.

I'm learning so much from watching your videos even if they are some months... Or even years old.😅 I like your channel cause it's not only buy and selling the cars but also you're learning stuff to do on your own vehicle.

Randy, I like your honesty, the fact that you're trying to make your living the honest way, you're a big plus in my book, you could've sold that black SRX and say, oh it blew up? Too bad, all sales are final. You pulled the plug on the deal, I respect you for that. Happy Thanksgiving bud and I wish you continued success in everything that you do. God Bless!

I’m so proud of you Randy! Get that debt gone!!!! “The borrower is slave to the lender” Enjoy debt freedom. Been debt free for 2 years! Let’s have a copart meetup at Fayetteville, AR. Keep up the good work, God bless and happy thanksgiving!

Good to see your doing so well! You work hard and your video quality is improving every month. Congratulations on 100k!

Hey Randy, congratulations on almost 100k. Been here since the Pontiac Aztec i guess. glad to see you growing and learned a lot from you. Good luck for the future and cant wait to see more good content from you. Take care brother

Hey randy put an after market radio in that . If you put the factory radio from a yard it’s going to say locked 🔒 . Then you will need to get the tec 2 scanner to unlock it . Cost wise it’s cheaper to put a 40 dollar radio in that someone already did that what the blue wires are for they bypass the factory amp to put an aftermarket radio in. . Thanks 🙏 again for the videos. You the man randy!!!! I love how honest you are

Happy Thanksgiving, Randy....to you and your family! I am proud of your growth! Enjoy!

I'm not even interested in cars but both you and Doug Demero have me subscribed to your channels.

Good news; the cracked dash panel can be pried up in the front and slid out. The front only is held in by clips. Easy fix! Also, part out the other SRX. Look at the Sold section of eBay. Those parts still hold significant value. Enough value to make your money back on both vehicles plus a profit! I do it all the time and make mucho $$$$!

You're awesome man, not many people on this planet like you.

Thank you.

dang, you really lucked out with this SRX. You can tell it was cared for!

I've been watching all your videos,this my first opportunity to watch the new one from you"keep the good job.👍👍

Have beeing watching your channel since you had less then 5k subs, love the content you are posting. Congratulations on the 100k subs Randy and Tim. 👍

First time commenting I think, but I've been watching your videos since a little bit after you changed name on the channel. I have no idea about cars really, but I still find your content very entertaining and I'm always impressed of how you guys manage to repair/rebuild stuff into something that looks nice and that I'd be willing to drive myself. Keep on doing what you do!

Happy thanksgiving Mate!! Love the vids been here for a long time

I really enjoy your content. You inspire me to get out there. Congratulations on the subs!!!

Congratulations on 100K 👍👍👍👍 awesome content

My Uncle has A 2007 Avalanche and the Dashboard is Cracking and its from the Heat most likely. Wow you got a really good deal on that srx, its a very nice SUV. Happy thanksgiving!

Listen you are doing a great job just keep on doing what you are doing and you will make this channel successful and thanks for the great content

happy thanksgiving. you are getting to the 100k subs before this year ends

Congrats for the 100008 Subs!!!!! You’re great and I’m following you since you’re Uberman. Have a great one!

I was never a big fan of the SRX, but you've got me reconsidering. I may be interested in this SRX when it's time to sell it.

Nice to hear you want to get back into the black and clear all the credit. That's what I'm trying to do I definitely want my credit card back to 0.

Happy Thanksgiving Randy hope you and family enjoy this day. God Bless you.

A tip for the plastic on dashboards etc is to coat it with a matching colour vinyl spray a couple of times every now and again to soften and strengthen it.

Happy Thanksgiving Randy and Sadie!!! Hope you two have a relaxing and peaceful day! Thanks for the video and congratulations on the nearly 100,000 subscribers!!! You have worked so hard and dillantly at growing your channel and giving us great content, you deserve praise, I am proud of you!!! I think that having your Brother there with you has helped you stay on task, focused and thriving towards your goal. Having someone to help and share things with, is always nicer than doing something alone. And he is your opposite, quite and in the background, all the while still helping and letting you do your thing, great team!!! Good job you two, congratulations!!! 🦃 Your faithful viewer, Joanne

congrats on the 100k subs man this channel just shows you don't need to be rich to be a car youtuber

Happy Thanksgiving Randy and Tim!! I love all of your videos

Happy Thanksgiving putting n that work keep your videos coming

That a real good goal to get your finances straight. New to your channel really like your content

Happy Thanksgiving.. you are doing a great job.. I´ve learned a lot from you...

Keep grinding bro, one video a day will make you grow so much!

Good job Randy! Love your videos! Wish you and your family happy thanksgiving 🦃

Hey randy love your videos.... you do a great job.... always a fan... can’t wait until you grow bigger

I’d use the parts you already got. You probably get more cash out of the black one by selling and using the parts

Happy Thanksgiving boss... very happy for your success of the channel.

I am learning alot from your videos, I love to have the money to start flipping car as you do and we have a copart 45 minutes away but just not able money wise for now. But keep up the great work.

Love the videos. Really interesting and well explained. Great to see these cars back on the road. Greetings from England and the very best of luck with the channel Randy.👍

Amazing. Happy thanksgiving

At LKQ there is usually a guy you can hire to pull the motor for you. The shop manual is “buy the book”, shade tree is a whole different thing. I would say repair the black one if for no other reason then it’s good content!

James Ireland yes but in Randy’s case it’s more about the content then the profit per unit,plus he is into the black one at a good price so he should be able to do both.

Happy US Thanksgiving from Canada! Great videos.

Happy Thanksgiving dude, you got this!!

I’m glad your getting your financials together. I struggled for years until I found financial peace university. Just wait. Soon you’ll be able to live like no one else. Do things on your terms. It’s life changing once you start stacking cash.

Awesome videos!!!! Great work and very inspirational!!! Can’t wait to do more cars myself!!! Happy thanksgiving!!!

I enjoy your blogs keep them coming

That’s a fantastic dream Randy!! Car giveaway......Hopefully it comes true!!! I always look forward to your videos!

Honesty is the key !! You won’t want to sell a lemon and easily mess everything up

Happy Holidays Randy , Tim & Family be safe . Salute 👊

Congrats on almost being debt free! It feels good believe me:)

Inside that srx looks clean. Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving boss! Knocking on a 100k life is good!

Hey man thats awesome to hear that you're coming back financially and i hope best wishes towards further growth i do love the gold srx ya its worth trying to keep but mainly man your vids are awesome and just thanks giving wishes to ya

Hi Randy great content. As mentioned on previous comments think about replacing the engine. Keep on going with the good videos. Happy Thanksgiving. All the best from Portugal.

I am sorry I am coming to this over a month late but just catching up with your channel. Your comment on the way the Cadillac had its 4 wheel drive arrangement going through the sump reminded me of my favourite BMW (and I have owned a few). It was an E34 525iX Touring. Now note the 'X' part. BMW created a 4 wheel drive system by adding a ZF transfer box just behind the standard gearbox and a shortened rear propshaft. They then ran a drive shaft forward on the LH side of the gearbox / engine to a differential with the RH driveshaft going through the modified sump. Everything else remained standard Touring specification and the transfer case had a built in bias to rear wheel drive. Only ever had one issue with that car in 3 years: The transfer box made clacking noises under hard acceleration so I put a s/h unit in. I was working at Scanias at the time and it took me 4 hours using a truck pit. Turns out ZF used a duplex chain and it used to stretch and jump. No tensioners ...

Great video and happy thanksgiving! 😀

Happy Thanksgiving Randy!!!!! A daily video is like a teacher who has to build a daily lesson plan, it aint easy is it. As an aside, CPRT stock went up a couple bucks wednesday, thanks. Hope they help you out with some sponsorship or VIP statuus (LKQ is still holding at $27 / share)

love what your doing and how your doing keep it up regards from the uk

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. Here's hoping that you hit 100k very soon!

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours Randy!🦃 Yes, cracking dash is a common issue with SRX, CTS, 07-up Tahoe’s ...I’ve had/have them all & all of them crack like this!!😡 As for the SRXs, imo I’d take parts off the black one for the gold one (including those awesome rims!), part out the more pricey parts on the black one, & junk it.

Let's hope the ML had a good warranty written in blood!

Hi man,sorry to hear about the black SRX its sad after all the efforts from you to try to revive it ... Cool videos,i found you by a chance clicking on one of your videos,i really like you,and what you do man,you are a chill person and i enjoy watching you every time ! So greetings from Bulgaria and continue the great work bro !

Happy turkey day Randy, I do enjoy your videos!

KEEP IT!!!! It’s such a nice car! You need to!

Happy thanks giving part out the black one it will probably get problems in the later run knowing it was a flood car.

Great upload cheers some you win some you lose I always buy panels second hand but in correct colour stick to your guns with the black one thanks

Great stuff broo keep up the work

the only reasonable option for the black SRX is to take the 500 dollar offer on it and be done! Use that 500 to Get your dallas fenders and bumpers for the current one. No brainer~

Congrats!! Next Step a small shop with a Lift to tackle bigger Jobs!!!!!, or maybe you can build a lift in your Garage?

Oddly, I find this a step in the right direction. I would ditch the AWD SRX if you can sell it quickly, then get all the parts you need to put the FWD SRX right & MAYBE even add some value. Those are videos I want to see as opposed to passing off cars with lots of issues on to Weird Beard… I think this car had an aftermarket in dash unit by the way the wiring looked. You can get a nice touch screen unit with Android & Apple Play. I think the channel will benefit IMMENSELY from seeing these cars have a happy ending and a new life. I would definitely watch videos of you trying to paint a panel with a rattle can or attempting vinyl wrap or clear bra or other things to not just fix what is wrong, but to add value. I was so encouraged to hear you plan on getting body panels that I subscribed. I look forward to your future videos.

Happy Thanksgiving randy great videos keep them a coming

Happy Thanksgiving Randy! Great Cadillac!

I hope you come across a 1993-1998 Toyota Supra someday. Those little gems are worth a lot of money these days. :)

Dude love watching your videos

Randy! Happy Thanksgiving! Keep that gold SRX! Its the perfect AAR promo car! Perfect for loading up the tools and the dog and heading to pick up the auction cars!

That SRX had damage from the engine running on water instead of oil for an undetermined amount of time. It was a ticking time bomb. Take the parts and transfer them to your present Caddy. I thought the yellow mustang was great, but it too ran on water for who knows how long. Unless the engine it torn down and inspected internally, it's another ticking time bomb.

Right... Randy just part it. It worth the money

You can replace the top part of the dash, is pretty simple, and the center part, where the radio goes, comes a part completely, I used to have a 2006 cts and took it apart a couple of times, the cables that were cut I'm pretty sure some one wanted to add an auxiliary port trough the xm radio signal, which I actually did with my Cadillac.

Happy thanksgiving! I noticed on your other srx video that the check engine light on with a shopping list of issues on the code reader. I’m not surprised the engine blew up lol

Take everything but the bumper and fender. Buy the OEM parts, and part out the interior, sell the shell.

Great content in your videos, Randy. I would strip the black caddy for the parts you need. You may be able to color spray the center stack . If Mike has space in the back 40, keep the rest of the black caddy. Maybe you can find another SRX with rear end damage at Copart and make two good cars out of the bad black one.

that was a great deal And just when I thought I was the only one stealing from copart great video

You swap the oil pan from a non-awd engine so it doesn't take long to take engine from donor car. You should be able to remove engine in less then 22 hours. A shop will charge 22 hours labor but they aren't going to take that long to do it. Not as hard as they try to make it sound.

I’d honestly strip it and sell what I can off of it, and when that’s all said and done sell the shell for scrap. When the giveaway stuffs happens I’d love a Nissan! 😉😏 Happy thanksgiving thanks for all the videos it’s showing me my dream of doing what you do is actually possible!

You sold that thing!? Subbed. Lol already love your videos man keep it up

A crack over here, a crack over there, auto auction rebuilds had some cracks, E,I,E,I friggin' O :)

Happy Turkey Day Randy love that sunroof powertail

Happy Thanksgiving. I really enjoy your content.
