Salvage Auction FAIL! Wrecked Silverado is the WORST I've ever bought

15 днів тому

For parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at Sales@importapart.com
Today's video is another day at work! We are a full service auto salvage business and I try to buy as many 99-07 GM Trucks as I can. This 2003 Silverado went cheap! All in, I was just over $800 including delivery, which seemed like a huge win at the time.
WELL! The auction is a gamble. I did not know mileage. I did not know if it would run, or what was damaged or how bad. I bid based on seeing the rear axle, and a few other parts I can sell. Most of the time, the gamble pays off. I've been doing this long enough where I can way the risks and worst case its not a loss, but not a huge win. Today we dive into this truck to see how I did. What survived, what didn't, what I can sell and what I can't.
I really hope you enjoyed this video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!

I'd actually love to see some videos where you take a crashed vehicle and film the tear down on it, showing which parts are junk, which parts are good and the process of dismantling a wrecked vehicle, especially when considering damaged bodywork or running gear etc. Seeing how engines are constructed by deconstructing them is great and I'd imagine that the same would be true for full vehicles. It could even be a series of videos on one particular vehicle, until the remains are scrapped.

I love this manual everything except the 3 speed automatic transmission. It fits your model of a totalled car brought back to clean unbranded title and like new quality. New a/c system all new! New struts all 4. Four new tires too. I keep it full of gas and clean oil, transmission fluid etc. It is a keeper! Thanks for trying to salvage the truck. I enjoyed watching!! If more people checked and filled their oil we may not have so much fun with your weekly tear downs. Love your excellent entertainment!!❤

I've purchased multiple trucks like this from copart over the years, when the frame collapses it will break the starter, and sometimes the bosses for the AC compressor bracket. After replacing the starter, every one of them ran perfectly fine. Since I only used the engines on LS swaps, the ac compressor problem was never an issue.
