Making Money Flipping Cars off Marketplace

sup guys welcome back to the channel nuts and bolts garage here it's a beautiful day tell them what we got going on with this new video coming your way we got a uh got on marketplace on saturday got lucky today's tuesday um this guy was uh out of town handling some family stuff um i was there selling the uh mazda3 here's a clip of that well guys we sold the mazda 3. um there's 1700 cash here and 1300 check there i'm not going to show you the check um i didn't get to i didn't get to film the car leaving i was here by myself on a saturday and i had some other people looking at the civic so yeah we sold that thing i think we had around 1800 or so into it so we sold it for 3 000 which is you know 1200 profit so we'll take it anytime and then uh after i was sitting uh sitting there while the guy was test driving i hopped on marketplace and i'll show you a little bit of that now all right guys i found i just found this car on facebook it's a 2012 focus 138 000 miles 1500 dollars seller says that power steering isn't working and one of the tire sensors needs replaced um says cruz doesn't work a bunch of little stuff um so i've i messaged him and i'm gonna go check out the car it's not very far from me so he's asking fifteen hundred i can easily sell that car for over three thousand uh with those miles and it's a hatchback i love selling these things so i'm gonna run to the bank see how much money i can get out hopefully he'll use uh venmo or something like that so yeah stick with me see you in a sec well boys got her done here's the title 2012 ford focus they bought it when it had 73k on it it's sitting over there i'll show you guys more of it on monday when i come pick it up but i paid them 1500 they said they had like 30 calls and i saw it on facebook when it had been on there for like 15 minutes and you had like 30 calls so that's gonna be our next project it's to be a pretty easy quick flip and then we're just going to take you step by step what it takes to get this car done how much exactly we have into it and uh yeah see we'll see what we can get for it yep show you the we just want to show you how easy it is and our way of the the buying and flipping process what's up guys here's the focus got it at the lot um it's a pretty good car it needs brakes um power steering and then just a little bit of odds and ends the tires are good needs a good cleaning seats are a little dirty but it's a decent car don't you think jay yeah backseat's pretty nasty but this guy will have fun cleaning it oh yeah a little bit of dog hair back here not much but everybody has a little bit of everybody pretty much nine out of ten have pet hair in it seat belts a little tore up there but yeah it's got some little stuff going on nothing major shifts good white and a hatchback those are two easy sellers to me yeah how much did we sell our last one for at least four four four forty five yeah it was four four flat four thousand it was the same same year yep it had less miles but it also had some some dents down the side but this one's pretty clean on the outside so we're gonna take it that's an easy sell yeah that's gonna sell the car right there yeah we're gonna take it out to the shop and uh get it on the lift see what we need to fix the the steering issue it's got electric assist um power steering so show that custom dvd player dude yeah there's the head unit they change the head unit and then it's they put a dvd player up on the roof so for the kids do it for the kids yeah it's been smoked in a little bit but we've got a uh ozone machine that'll take that out we'll change the air filter throw the ozone in it it's not real bad it's just just faint okay i know i told you guys that it needs brakes let me show you when you hit the brakes yeah it's not doing it now there goes the steering wheel shakes quite a bit um so we're almost to the shop gonna get it up on the lift and see what else it needs we're in the shop with the focus just put it up on the lift back tires are brand new that's nice to see um how we looking underneath pretty clean right yeah super clean there's no leaks or anything that's nice no weeks at all so what are we thinking uh to get the steering fixed probably gonna have to replace this um rack and pinion it's all electric so and it looks like the best way to do it is to drop the subframe looks like to me anyways because you got this huge piece there and then over where the steering shaft comes down from inside another huge piece and there's just not a lot of room to snake those out in here and stuff so it's best best thing he's going to do to drop this whole subframe so guess what i guess we'll get on find one at our favorite spot it needs breaks too i showed him a little bit of a video of it breaking because it shakes like crazy okay then he's got a vibration so we're going to balance the tires rotate those new ones up here and that's about it it needs a few things inside but sounds like a party and a chicken trying to join us here's a 2013 focus this thing was hammered in the front dented up hood so i don't know what's going on here it's already halfway dropped it's like they couldn't get these tires off or something looks like somebody tried to already pull some parts but failed so looks like a pretty common problem though because yeah cause all the ones that have had the engine and transmission pulled they're gone this looks like our only option oh man jack hard at work here the uh the sky looks incredible right now man such a beautiful winter day already shedded a layer so let's see what's going on here what's being uh we just got this just got to break that loose phone's talking to you dude dude so annoying oh my gosh this sucker is in there man and so we got it out after a long hard fight jack wins no it was like a 20-minute fight but last time you were hanging feet up in the air so you got it though man jack wins got it out when you go pull some brakes now there's another one over here with good really good brakes so we're gonna pull those okay guys we're back in the shop back from the pick and pole want to show you some prices on uh what we picked up on our steel deal fines we're going to start with that rack and pinion right there baby j what's it say we paid for that rack and pinion 18 nope keep going down racking 36 36 bucks man right there and we got some brake pads for 9.44 show them them brake pads baby jay pull those up factory ford show them how thick those are brand new [Music] perfect rotors here got those for um yeah nine bucks a piece and then we got a couple uh couple plastic pieces and sometimes they just throw those in for free they didn't charge us for any of them on this round so 70 bucks 70 bucks total and then we got a little oil change for 33 bucks had to do the cabin filter lots of times we don't have to but so it's a little bit more expensive this one came out to 33 usually 33.50 usually we can do oil changes for about 20 bucks or less so we're like 100 and three dollars and 48 cents or something like that 103 bucks will that fix the 12 focus let's go for it hey guys we got the focus on the left so i'm gonna see how fast i'm gonna have to drop the subframe so you gotta undo i'm gonna unhook this little uh abs sensor unhook the outer tie rod the sway bar end link i do that on both sides and then you gotta unhook this lower bolt down here for the lower control arm and then there's a few bolts underneath there gotta unhook the exhaust but i'll show you that when i get get to that so yeah see how fast we can get done 30 minutes was it 2 25 or 2 15. um not sure but it's 2 45 now i can't remember but had a couple of uh a couple of hard hard bolts to break and it's my first time doing this so yeah this is still rolling pretty pretty quick in my eyes we've got to loosen these we'll loosen the three bolts on the on the rack and pinion and then we've got to loosen these two okay [Music] all right out with the old in with the old as i said jack got the uh rack and pinion we just pulled from the picking pole swapped and back on so piecing this guy back together i'm gonna throw back in there see what happens here three goals 15 minutes to swap swap swap swip swap keep it up let's hoist this baby back in jack [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so that's all back in i got to do a little bit of work up top hooking the wires back up and stuff but i'm gonna do these breaks right now this will be pretty fast look at that on the inside i can't i don't know if you can see how wavy that is but that thing is shocked oh wow they're a little rusty but one break on this and it'll be good one tight squeeze [Music] do how with the old in with the old one side down one to go [Music] all right she's back together got oil in it it's a little low on antifreeze but we'll get to that in a minute let's start this thing and see what it says it uh said before like power power steering fault or steering fault something like that [Music] and they used to say it right when you turn the key on like that now all it says is low tire pressure [Music] i do have check engine light on that's from earlier when i was messing with it trying to get it but look at this oh yeah oh yeah there's no lights on there at all no steering issues or anything all the stuff that was over here that was like the i don't know abs stuff and whatnot it's all gone so i'm gonna hook up my scanner here [Music] look at the scan now this is a um autel mk808bt it's a bluetooth one so it's got the little bluetooth dongle is what they call them and it goes down into the port down there so you sure they call it a dongle it's a call to dongle man i call something else a dongle but all right i like it sam when he gets home so you plug that you plug the dongle in yeah it's down underneath the dash you can see the lights you can see the lights on yep so it's communicating he hit read hit okay that's the beginning that automatically pulls the vent up now this is going to take a minute forwards take forever for some reason i don't know why but uh um if you guys can start getting into this flipping cars you don't have to buy one like this i spend a little over 500 on this one but it does everything it does um airbags abs um all the engine stuff these focuses and fiestas they're an automatic but they're a manual it's actually a six-speed manual but then it has a transmission solenoid module thing on the side of the transmission and it it uh has some shift solenoids and stuff and some forks inside there that switch the gears for you and it's got a clutch in it i've replaced a few of these transmissions so this thing will reprogram the transmission and tcm and transmission control module and all that stuff when you have to service it whether you're putting in the new clutch or you're replacing that transmission whatever for us the most efficient thing for us is when we have a car that needs a clutch like one of these it's a lot cheaper to just go get a new used engine at pick apart because it's like 180 bucks versus the i think the tools to do the clutch are um like 800 bucks and then the clutch is another 500. so we just have a check engine light we're just going to go in there read codes kion engine running forwards are weird it's gonna go through and it'll rev up the engine a little bit do all kinds of stuff run through all the tests that's pretty interesting though the look looks like the regular automatic it's just a it's manual manual it's a six-speed manual that's that's pretty wild it's just in the focuses and fiestas and there's a recall forum and a bunch of people you know have been upset about it because it's weird you know the an automatic that's actually a manual and then they had problems with the software not shifting the engine i'm shifting the transmission correctly and so there's a recall there's a lawsuit but we've done four of these now and two of them have been transmissions and you just learn like i didn't know what the heck when we bought that first one it said transmission damage when we bought it ia i didn't know what the heck was going on but this thing i figured it out did a little bit of googling and uh figured it all out that wasn't me touching the gas that was all this scanner was going through checking every system should we leave this sodapop sticker i don't know would you guys buy it with that on there let us know what you guys think leave the sticker yeah let us know in the comments you like that pink and blue sticker soda pop it's actually not bad i just i i love soda pop i just don't think i would put a sticker of one in my car i just keep a couple in the cup holder seeing a couple real deals boards are silly man usually it doesn't take this long no it would have already been done cleared code and everything so maybe we should give a detailed um or just a quicker faster scanner on a different car around there on a different car that doesn't take so long because i'd like to learn more how it works but this just takes forever these a lot of these are probably it's got a bunch of codes it's got um six codes but a lot of them are probably because the battery was out cars don't like when the batteries are out so we're just gonna clear them all codes have been raced which it didn't have a check engine light on when i bought it so hopefully because it should be good yeah it's good to go steering feels good let's go for a test drive focus is coming out of the shop just put a motor mount in it as well this thing is ready i gotta pull this nice little floor mat off the roof keep her coming here's our first test drive so we'll grab a license plate make her legal and we're gonna go for a ride all right guys hang on hang on to your horses here we go 2012 focus and she's cruising and it was pretty straight the steering was the issue it seems good to me how's the alignment is it it's looking pretty good pretty straight a little off but i think it's good enough probably need to balance the tires build a little see how vibration brakes are breaks their butter now bingo those new used rotors are nice so balance [Music] no steering assist bingo might have a dust shield rubbing on the road from when we were trying to pop that so fix that balance tires and get it on good to go [Music] [Music] do [Music] you
