Is Hoovie the least Shrewd Negotiator ever?

kymmie are those butt implants my car history and my history in general is just terrible I am the exact opposite of Edie Here I am the most untrue negotiator the worst car buyer you've ever met and my youtube channel may look pretty successful on the surface where I get so many views and and obviously that brings money but I lose my ass on these cars it's just a stream of fails in it I've discovered the bigger the fail the more views that it gets so it's it's a really horrible cycle and in my car history is just filled with it and I can't remember the cars because there's been so many at this point I'd buy a car bout every month now which is terrible so oh no no no no it's playing an ad with my Ferrari Catching Fire that's what'll come to that later alright well start with the 1999 Porsche 911 the cheapest Porsche 911 with a manual transmission a coupe in the United States at the time was $9,500 sounds pretty good except they had two hundred and forty three thousand miles on it and I called the mechanic shop that had done a lot of work to it over the years it was a one owner car actually it was a dealer selling it and he told me not to buy it because the engine was starting to sound worn-out and I I bought it anyway it lasted six months which was really good as actually really a solid car I drove to Florida and back from Kansas to Amelia Island no problems that use about a quart every thousand miles it sounded a little little little rattle II but you know that's I mean all Porsches kind of sound broken a tile it's another turbo that I have now sounds really broken and idle and that that Mezger engine that's that's just normal but anyway where I killed it was on the track I went flat out trying to chase down a Golf R and completely blew the engine and then I thought it would be a good idea to swap in an LS v8 because that's a cheaper engine right well it's not it's ten thousand dollars to rebuild the Porsche engine seventeen thousand dollars by the time I was done with this LS while putting it in Ankara paid ninety five hundred dollars for it probably put three or four thousand dollars into to fix and that lasted a year I blew the motor again on the track the LS engine that's not supposed to blow so maybe might be pilot error there that might be blowing things up I'm not gonna admit to that quite yet cuz but it's probably pilot error so yeah that car I sold for $10,000 and if you're doing math that's well over thirty thousand dollars invested so that's my first YouTube car and I lost twenty thousand dollars on that one the next one is a 1978 Lincoln Continental coupe and I bought it from a guy in Las Vegas who owned a body restoration shop kind of thing and he said the car had no rust no problems at all and I had a friend who lived in Vegas go look at it he had rust where they liked to do around the land out top all the way around bubbling up and he didn't tell me about that it's so obvious but his approach to it was like oh I'll fix it for you and then keep the same price so he fixed it it showed up it actually caught fire within two hours of it arriving completely burned it didn't like burn the whole car down the engine bay was trashed the ignition carburetor all that stuff had to be completely redone his solution was to send me a spark plug wires and a distributor to make it alright but I got the car constantly broke that paint repair he did started bubbling more than a month again it was a really bad repair and I sold it for a six thousand dollar loss about eight months later so not as bad as the Porsche but then I wasn't really paying attention who bought it I listed it on ebay I think and the guy was gonna fly out and drive it back to Michigan he was flying from Las Vegas and for some reason I didn't make the connection and he didn't make the connection until he showed up that it was the man who sold it to me who was flying out to buy it again and he didn't know they were claimed he didn't know and I didn't know until we were there and he was looking at the car and I think I think I've had this car before and as I it's you so it was a really awkward quiet couple of hours until he left with the car and he said he's gonna take it to Michigan to give to his dad oh yeah I lifted a Dodge Grand Caravan I'll track all-wheel drive spent probably two or three grand making that thing into an off Roeder that it was never going to be and sold it for two grand after paying $2,500 for it so that's their $5,000 loss oh man they had the s600 that wasn't too bad I bought that for $4,500 with a blown motor 2007's 600 I found a motor for $4,500 spent probably another $4,500 swapping it in and it's running it really didn't need that much after that sold it to the bar sh for 12,000 so how much is that that's only a 2 or $3,000 loss that's not bad that's not bad at all yeah $500 Lincoln Towncar that I spent $2,000 on and then I gave it away so that's $2,500 loss oh yeah how can you lose buying a $300 Jeep Cherokee you can't you really can't but I did because I bought it it had 360 thousand miles on it blew its head gasket on a ski mountain and then I lifted it put tires on it and all that stuff probably had four or five thousand dollars into it and sold it for $2,500 hey I was a car dealer before this so you can see why the car dealership failed is these are just youtube cars oh yeah my Mercedes ML 55 AMG I had a 2000 Mercedes ML 55 AMG beautiful cars it was it was a merlot or what they call it it was it's brown is brown and I had it sold for basically what I paid for it I was getting it detailed for the guy who was buying it and it got stolen out of the detail shop and went on a couple of high-speed chases and was eventually ditched in a field they actually use it as a bulldozer to knock over trees about that thick and it made a surprisingly good bulldozer just plowed it in there hit there it was missing for a few days because it was buried in there pretty good pulled it out it was actually in pretty good shape I was really surprised it's just kind of scratched up and I sold it for I think twenty five hundred dollars less just cuz it was so scratched up and now it had this history with it and I actually sold it to a guy that spot multiple cars for me and you might be able to see it on NCIS New Orleans apparently it gets all of its windows shot out it's like a bad guys car so the watch for that 2004 Cayenne Turbo that was about a five oh where are we gonna end with this because it just keeps going forever I bought a 1983 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country mark cross edition beautiful teak wood panels and nice leather interior I always wanted one they also have the talking car features the same sound as the Speak & Spell you know where you push the button your door is ajar that that kind of thing and there was a guy that was selling 22 of them he had 22 that was this entire collection of just vizsla barons and I called him and I said at 101 with no rust no rust just send me one with no rust and he said okay I've got three pick one of these three this is the nicest one I'll take it I sent him money he calls me once he gets to check he says hey I looked at this car with another guy who was looking at one of my cars and I noticed it had a little bit of rust on the floor and a few little bubbles here and there and I was like well I wanted a car with no rust and he said well you already sent the check and I told you you should have come looked at these before you sent the money so you should just take this car anyway it's a good car okay so I should the car shows up and the hole in the floor behind the driver's seat is about this big I can I can double fist it which that looks bad but it was a big hole and there's a whole course in the standard round the pedals every panel had rust on it it was a total mess it wasn't worth fixing and it was so bad that I asked my mechanic to dig a hole on his property and I drove into the hole and we buried it we're about to dig it up actually so and we'll dig it up and see if it starts so I tried to make my money back on the YouTube ad revenue twenty-five hundred dollars plus a thousand dollars to ship it here which is ridiculous I should have done that and then buried it so that's that's zero zero and that's boy if we told that up was that about thirty forty thousand dollars just over the course of a year and a loss and I almost did that with one car and that was a 2005 Bentley Continental which is famous for totalling itself just through mechanical issues and I bought this car because I still have a dealer connection I'm able to go onto dealer wholesale is called ovae a wholesale network and buy the car and it was a great price and you could click and order a psi on it so I thought I was good I actually talked to the seller and said I was gonna psi and he said ok we'll see what pops up in the psi but I think he knew that Bentley's were ineligible for post sale inspections and he was talking it up and and knew that I was totally hanging myself this this car showed up and it was so bad it looks so nice in the surface but it was so far gone really almost nothing worked it barely drove and then I did a little bit of digging I kind of glanced at the CARFAX but didn't look through it all and there was a little note where it said exported to Finland in 2008 and I've come to discover Finland is it used as a front to send cars to Russia and the car spent 10 years in Russia when you google the VIN it pops up on all the Russian sites I had Freddy who speaks Russian tovarisch Hernandez but he understands Russian we we don't know what his background is but it's he's he's an interesting guy and he told me it had been seized by the Russian government at one point and had at least two odometer rollbacks the car has about 150,000 miles on it he told me all this before he actually bought it because there's only one person dumber than me to actually buy that car and that was Freddy tovarisch on YouTube so he bought that car and I sold it for $12,000 I paid $28,000 on it and spent probably 3 or 4 grand and a little exploratory surgery to just see if I could fix it in No yeah that was bad and I guess the last car it's not really a loss but it's related because Freddie bought it also my 1995 Ferrari f355 and this was traded I actually traded my Acura NSX sport that I was about $50,000 into and traded it plus $10,000 cash and a Ferrari worth about probably $40,000 because I'm a shrewd negotiator yeah and it didn't run didn't run had a coolant issue where busted its heat exchanger hose and that got fixed and actually ran great great for months I put over a thousand miles on it and shipped it to California and it rather famously now burned to the ground just exploded burned this guy's camera guy that was driving in another youtuber vehicle versions Parker and that one I actually didn't lose money because of the insurance but it's still a very big fail so this this my whole youtube channel is built on documenting my failures and how big of a that I am [Music] I'd like to thank the guys that Avalon King for supporting the
