hey everyone how's it going I am Sam
cracking today I wanted to take the Audi
s3 to car max first things first want to
get rid of the old fender liner that's
cracked you can see right here where
it's separated in two pieces
got the new fender liner that I showed
you guys in the video the other day
lined up and then let's take a trip see
what they want to give us for a rebuild
title Audi s3
all right now she's moving all right so
we got some good news and some bad news
the bad news is when I was putting the
fender liner back up I realized by
looking on the other side some of the
screws are different that the body shop
used to put things back together what
I'm gonna do Carmack's is right next to
the Audi dealership I'm gonna go I'm
gonna buy the correct screws that's the
bad news so I psyched you out a little
bit and I feel bad about that we will
not be taking the Audi s3 in the car max
that doesn't mean I don't have another
rebuilt car we can take into car max and
here she is my 2015 Ford Fiesta ST the
first car I ever rebuilt in a car that I
wasn't planning on selling for a very
long time although everything's for sale
at the right price and it just might be
car max is lucky day now this car used
to look like this and now it looks like
this this car had a major front end and
impact it was deemed a total loss by the
insurance company I bought it like you
just saw it and turned it back to its
original form now before we take the
Fiesta in the car max and find out if
car max is even interested in a rebuilt
car let's do a little history lesson it
all started with mr. Doug de Muro who
brought his original Hummer h1 into
Carmack's a very cool and unique car
then he followed it up bringing in a
right hand drive Nissan GTR and it
started a slew of other youtubers
bringing their really unique cars into
car max we had TJ hunt bring in a
wide-body BRZ we recently had the Strad
man bring in his orange lamborghini
gallardo as of recent I feel this trend
is declined we've seen people bring in
their regular ordinary cars to car max
looking for an appraisal and then
getting offended when they're offered
two and three hundred dollars number and
my god was I shocked to see $8,000 when
my van retails for over $21,000 so
immediately in my head I was already out
the door I was already out the door and
needless to say he didn't have much of
an explanation of why it was $8,000 but
as soon as it came out as $8,000 I'm
like man that is not gonna work we're
talking but have no fear we're gonna
bring it back and it's not that this car
is a real special car it's unique
because of its title let's see if
Carmack's has any interest in buying my
rebuilt Ford Fiesta ST now it is time
for you to take to the comments section
and guess what do you think Carmack's
will offer me for my 2015 Ford Fiesta ST
with a rebuilt title currently has
eleven thousand three hundred and
sixty-four miles as I'm driving and it's
in really great shape except for the
fact that the whole front end was
crushed at one point now rebuilt titles
you typically don't trade into a
dealership you typically list them on
Craigslist private party and sell them
that way and that's why what I think
Carmack's will offer me is extremely low
on a good day I think my car would bring
anywhere between nine and ten thousand
dollars eleven thousand if somebody
really really wants it again it's got
very low miles it was rebuilt pretty
well but a dealership doesn't look at
your car as an individual who wants your
car and says okay I'm gonna buy this
rebuilt one and say four or five
thousand dollars off the dealership
price what Carmack's looks at the car
eyes is just a part of their inventory a
part of the inventory that's just gonna
go straight to auction this car with a
clean title from Carmack's I think would
fetch in the very low teens twelve
thousand dollars I think they put it on
their lot around fifteen maybe $16,000 I
think they're gonna offer me 3,500 if
they even offer to buy it from me
Carmack's
is right on the other side of the road
we're gonna turn in right now when I get
there I will turn the cameras off I will
try and turn on the cameras whenever I
can I do want to respect their privacy
and I honestly didn't call them before
and say hey I'm coming I'm bringing you
this we're just gonna do it like an
honest appraisal like somebody walking
in off the streets and they want to know
what bill
by their Carrefour because of course
Carmack's will buy your car even if you
don't buy theirs I think they call that
something we visa debo well I'm really
impressed at this lineup here at
Carmack's because they have a lot of
really nice cars here's an s550 here BMW
m5 right here
another BMW m5 right here Fiesta or
Focus ST and I also have good news to
give you and that is that they will
appraise a rebuilt title vehicle and the
inside is a lot better than the old
Carmack's the old Carmack's they kind of
put you in a holding cell told you to
hang out this new one it's all open it's
just people sitting at desks while we
got a zo6 right here and though they've
got a lounge where you can get you know
drink water it's really like a pleasant
place to bring your car they give you an
offer and I mean it's like I'm doing a
promotion right now for Carmack's but I
am truly impressed
nice dl1 right here alright guys we are
leaving car Max and we have our offer
right here but before we get into the
number I just want to give Big Ups to
car max I mean I was really surprised at
how great of an experience it was so
atmosphere really nice on the inside car
selection was pretty darn good and the
prices were really fairly competitive
it's a dealership you're gonna pay a
little bit more than at an auction or
somewhere else but what do you expect so
anyway the guy was really nice took my
keys asked me is his carbon in any
accidents and of course I wanted this to
be a true experience like anyone else
going in there to get their car
appraised so when he asked me if it
wasn't an accident I told him of course
yes it was and he filled that out when
they took a look at it and inspected it
they saw the salvage title they got the
they do an auto check record history
report on it so they saw it had accident
damage there was frame damage they saw
the whole kit and kaboodle so with all
of that being said let me get the piece
of
bro and I'm kind of surprised they
offered me $5,000 I think I originally
guessed around 3500 $4,000 and 5000 not
batting again you got to consider how
Carmack's is looking at this car you can
bring car max a Ferrari and they're
still going to look at it like it's a
car in their inventory whether it goes
to auction or whether it goes into a lot
it's just another car in their inventory
they said obviously that this car would
go to auction and that something I
didn't know car max is a second largest
automotive auction in the United States
behind Manheim Manheim being the biggest
one for dealer dealers to attend the car
max representative told me that they
host an auction behind their major
facility and all the dealerships are
welcome to it and basically said most of
the mom-and-pop dealerships in the area
come there to buy cars for their
inventory and one of the funny things he
told me is that he's actually brought in
cars for appraisal bought the car from
the individual and he's talking about
crappier cars you know a couple hundred
dollars five hundred dollar cars sells
them at the dealer auction for whatever
the dealer marks it up a couple thousand
dollars and then the person's got a
really bad car so what do they do they
bring it right back into car max he was
telling me I've seen this car twice I
just appraised this same as that car cuz
every time you appraise the car car max
it goes in the system that's like this
$5,000 offer is good for seven days if I
bring it back after the seven days that
$5,000 price will definitely go down I
hope you guys enjoy finding out
alongside with me that car max will
appraise a rebuilt title car I can't
wait to bring my s3 there find out what
they say about it that'll be in the
future but I want to make a quick public
service announcement and that is if you
bring in a crappy car to Carmack's
expect a crappy price car max is in the
business to buy and resell cars they're
not in the business to make you feel
good I want to continue this awesome
tradition of really unique cars being
brought in to car max so I want to
nominate somebody and that's Alex from
legit street cars I want you to get
ahold of the four hundred thousand mile
a 55 AMG and bring it in the car max see
what they appraise it for guys thanks a
whole lot for watching this video as
always
if you want to contact me everything you
need to do so is in the description box
below thanks a lot for watching and I'll
catch you very soon my god was I shocked
when I saw this number eight thousand
dollars when my band retails for over 21
thousand dollars at this point in my
head I already knew I was out the door
and needless to say he didn't have much
of an explanation as to why it was eight
thousand dollars but as soon as it came
out as eight thousand dollars I was like
man this is not gonna work
