Its Vossen for the rims, I had the same rims on my Audi

I remember back in the mid 2000s when these came out Fucking revolutionary, nothing on the road looked like a 6 Series And those gigantic stock wheels were a taste of what was to come in the future

The Escalade is a vehicle with no roof, it isn't a convertible. A convertible is a vehicle that converts from a roof to a no roof position.

BMW's are strippers. They look great, but you have to throw money at them all the time. It appeared most of your repairs were cosmetic. 7k is a lot for a car with a rebuilt title. I know the engine settled down when it was warm. Did the plugs fix the intermittent cylinder issue? I love the mix of toys and practical vehicles. (Sadly the Hummer didn't really fall in either of those categories.) I always look forward to your content. Please give our best to Papa Al, he's really the highlight. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas '22!

Got to give you props , I’ve talked down upon your prices and choices and ideas but I’ll give you this , you go out of your way to restore cosmeticly cars where you have no need to spend out of pocket for a car you will gain almost little to nothing on return after labor and paint restoring a car appearance, where here in cali all small dealerships just sale you trash and overprice and are falling apart so cheers man !!!!

Craig, I don’t understand all the haters! Used cars are a tough business. That’s why most lots last five years or less. The fact that you’ve been there, is it seventeen years?, is a testament to the overall way you treat your customers and the way you do business. I guess there’s a lot of jealous keyboard dealers. I enjoy your success and your videos, my friend.

Pop's is like the White Thunderbird one of a kind and super cool.

I owned one. Way back when. It kept dying on me quite often . I remember a recall for this issue . The fix sounded very easy. The wire connected to the main battery was installed backwards.

Great job moving that beamer!

I got a clean title 645 coupe in a 6 speed. Love it

Good looking car BMW and rare on the road. Nice flip.

That’s good that you got rid of that thing stat!! Those SMG transmissions back than I had one one my M5 and around 100k miles the hydraulic pump are a big failure point and they are expensiveeee!! Breaking even is a winnnnn brother.

Nessov🤣🤣 the logo is upside down, it’s Vossen, that one had me 🤣🤣.

For me, the biggest hiccup is the front passenger bumper, fender match. For a restored car, I expect it took like a body shop did a great job restoring it. But, great job making money on it.

Craig I was just getting ready to tell you to stick it out for the most you could get, when you said it sold, it wouldnt have taken up too much space for the eventual benefit

Interesting video. In reference to your question of keep until spring or sell for a loss? What is the cost of the money in the car? Is your inventory on a line of credit? What is the interest on the $5k invested in the BMW? I really appreciate how you break down the car dealer business, and I am curious about that detail.

It's opportunity cost. If you could buy another $5K car and make say $750 and do that once a month that's $3K by spring. If you can make say $4K on this in spring its worth it. Plus the lot appeal in spring
