I Saved over $10,000 Buying 2 Prior “Theft Recovery” Cars at Auction! Was it worth it?

1. The Escalade was a REALLY GOOD DEAL, and filling it up won't be too bad since I can get Cashback on Fuel Fillips, Grocery Stores & Restaurants with Upside: Download the FREE Upside App at https://upside.app.link/samcrac to get $5 or more cash back on your first purchase of $10 or more.

2. Yes please do the R8
   I really like it too

3. There is NO reason why if you think or know you have a bad head gasket you not just try a cheap fix first. Even on Chris Fix's channel he used a cheap product on his pops Jag and he was able to get another year + out of the car and saved thousands of dollars for the new head gasket. So you never know, you might get lucky.

4. WOW! That BMW was a great buy and I would love to own something like that one day. I just need to have the money to buy a car like this when it comes up. Extra money is NOT a strong point in my life right now. Maybe one day.,

5. I love what you did to the Porsche… the engine out rebuild is way beyond the value of the vehicle so what you did to make it drivable is great… The worst thing is you can drive it for a while and then either pull the engine or part out the car.

6. Gotta love Ford/Lincolns past decade Business Plan. Engineering motors they know full well are lucky to run 20 thousand miles before catastrophe. The poor Eco Boost and especially Power Stroke fans are true die hards. Sticking with Ford even after seeing the cab pulled off their new Lariat. Maybe that's what Ford Knew. Thier customer loyalty is that strong. I like my GM trucks because their issues generally don't leave me stranded. If a Chevy doesn't start, buy a Fuel pump. It's fixed.

7. Sam give cory chase my number wow your funny you. Omfg

8. New motor after 36k on a Ford product. It's good!

9. Escalade is my dream vehicle.

10. In order to get “dealer” plates you have to have successfully applied for a car dealer license. So I wonder what the name of his “dealer” is? The replaced the “shortblock” basically just the block, crank, pistons. The “rotating assembly” Things like heads, oil pan, and accessories are just swapped. A long block is the whole kit an caboodles minus accessories

11. Why do you buy those cars

12. Whistlin diesel can take care of the R8

13. Sam is shameless when it comes to advertisements and i support it

14. I want to see it

15. why did you blow on the testing apparatus instead of just putting it near the exhaust?

16. What's the name of the product block sealer did you use?

17. Curious if the Escalade was previously registered in PA and reported stolen in Houston, TX. It just reminded me of an Escalade that I used to know 😂

18. U always do a great job

19. We have a 1986 VW Golf 1.8 (gas) that we purchased new. At about 80,000 miles it developed an internal coolant leak. We had no choice but to continue to drive it. One day the coolant overflow container ruptured. After that I tried a block sealer out of desperation. It held for almost 20,000 miles. Each time the coolant leak reared it's head I just sealed it again. The car has continued to run to nearly 300,000 miles with block sealing as part of our 20,000 mile service 😁😁. It's really just temporary, but it works. For less than $100 we've managed to get another 200,000 miles out what the VW dealership deemed a 'blown engine.'

20. Should have had you "mom" blow to make that fluid change color

21. ur going jail my boy

22. You think filling up that truck is expensive, you should see when I take my Diesel truck to put diesel in it. She has 3 tanks, 17, 15, & a 50 in the bed. It’s like $350 vs $85 just 2yrs ago.

23. Which auction place is this?

24. I don't know what it is,but I love escalades too! There's just something about the bulk and interior that just makes you want to own and drive one daily regardless of the gas lol

25. sheeesh what a click bait thumbnail….

26. I agree its a great time to buy a big SUV. I tried to explain that to my cousins in California, and they looked at me like I was from mars.

    Buy EV when gas prices are cheap.
    Buy a house when interest rates are high for an extended time.

27. How can an escalade be stolen?

28. Definitely stress test the Porsche, I'd be frightened to drive it with any spirit with leak stop in and It would be a great test result to test the manufacturers leak stopping claims.

29. I want to see you do the test again at 200,000 miles. So be nice to the Porsche

30. I was thinking the same thing Sam. We’re your 500 miles gentle or did you give it some beans? If they were gentle then maybe not surprised it held. If you hammer it a bit, I suspect the sealant will fail. Try it.

31. Dude when u say u bought a stolen car 😂

32. I had an Audi S5 (4.2 V8, 6spd manual) that had the exact same issue, no leak, just showed a brake light and pedal went to the floor. I changed both the master cylinder and slave cylinder and it fixed the issue, hopefully that helps keep you from pulling the trans!
