I EXPOSED THE TRUTH BEHIND INFLUENCER HYPERCAR SCAMS... *$4,000,000 CARS*

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Yo, what is up with all these Miami Cor sellers getting scammed on hypercars?

[00:00:03]Bro, I have no idea.

[00:00:04]>> I don't even drive this car. Feels a little bit too attainable and we got to step it up a notch.

[00:00:11]>> It got taken away because he was a little late on his payments.

[00:00:15]>> Funny enough, my buddy Jaden, he's actually the one that's leasing all these cars to those guys. It's such a scam.

[00:00:21]>> What the Oh, that's >> How are you doing, bro? Good to see you.

[00:00:25]>> Good. How are you?

[00:00:25]>> We were just talking about You sell some great cars.

[00:00:29]>> I do. It's not a scam.

[00:00:30]>> It's not a scam.

[00:00:31]>> Okay. Actually, we are in Miami, Florida. We're outside of a dealership that also gets a bad rep, but for kind of no reason, honestly.

[00:00:37]>> Why don't we go inside? I'll talk more about it.

[00:00:42]>> There's a few cars here that I think a lot of people are going to recognize.

[00:00:44]So, before we dive into what actually is going on inside of these doors, I want to show you some cars.

[00:00:49]>> Let's do it.

[00:00:49]>> So, the first car I want to show you, you've probably seen it online. It's a very famous car.

[00:00:53]>> Yes.

[00:00:54]>> The Lamborghini CR. Now, this car has quite the history for negative reasons.

[00:00:58]Yep. I've heard >> a lot of people definitely know this car now if they didn't before.

[00:01:02]>> These go for what roughly just for sale >> online right now. You can find Seons high twos both. It's like a $2.8 million car. And I sold this car actually last time around to his previous owner. So we'll dive into that story.

[00:01:13]>> We're going to dive into that story.

[00:01:16]>> I don't know. It's for dramatic effect.

[00:01:17]>> Now this right here is a Kona Segreggera. This is by far one of the most famous hypercars on Earth right now because of its previous owner. Beautiful car. I mean this car retails for probably 3.13 $3.2 $2 million. This was also previously owned by an influencer.

[00:01:30]Many of you guys probably know who that is. And these two cars have much different stories. And I want to explain to you what's actually going on. The deal structures, why these cars are back so soon. What is going on? A lot of >> There's a lot of stuff people say on the internet of, again, the word scam is consistently used just about anywhere you see these cars posted. I feel like I know what's happening, but obviously from somebody who's literally in the business, it's better to hear from Jaden himself. I guess what what is actually going on?

[00:01:52]>> As you know, I've sold a lot of cars from here. I sold this car previously. I sold the Seon. I've sold a lot of other big cars. What's actually going on here?

[00:01:59]It's not a scam. They're not renting these cars for 3 months, four months, 5 months. These guys are coming. They're signing 60-month loans most of the time.

[00:02:05]I think you can do a 48month loan with this bank, but 60-month loans. It's a lease to own structure. So, you're actually financing the vehicle. It's a lease on paper. It comes with a lot of benefits. You get the tax write offs.

[00:02:14]You get all these different things. And you're responsible for the car. You buy the car, you're putting X amount down, you're paying X amount of month. You have to either keep that car for the full loan or you can get a payoff and sell it whenever you And there's nothing hidden in contracts or nothing like everything is fully laid out. It's either it can be afforded or it cannot.

[00:02:28]One thing too that I think is kind of crazy is for example this car. Every time I would see TJR post a video about this car, I thought it was hilarious because in the comments people would be like either it's a rental. The bank owns it and this and that. It's like, okay, let's just think about how much a payment per month on something like this would be. So if you're trying to make somebody seem broke because they don't buy this car in cash, what 65,000 70,000 a month a month? Uh yeah, you have to just have that sitting around to have something like this to begin with. So anybody that on a lease or if you're financing or whatever it may be. Think about how much these people are actually spending per month to have this car. You can't just rent a rigger. You can't That's what I think is the funniest part that people always get wrong on the internet. These guys, most of them can't afford these cars. They actually can. So everybody commenting that it's a rental or that it's a lease. It's like, "Oh, you just leased a Koig sick." Yeah, he's paying $70,000 a month for a Koig sick >> plus the money he put down 20% down.

[00:03:19]You're talking almost a million dollars just on the down payment alone.

[00:03:22]>> Dude, I it it actually cracks me up every time I see that.

[00:03:24]>> TJ was 20 years old. Got into this car.

[00:03:26]He hit me up one day. He said, "Yo, I want something that's going to break the internet." Send me a couple options. I sent him the regger and he said, "Yo, that's the one." Huge following. So, a guy like that to get into a car like this, it makes sense because you know he can afford it because the money to afford a payment like that, then I mean, he obviously does make that kind of money. So, like again, all the people in the comments that love to [ __ ] talking, it's like if it's that easy to go and just rent a Koigse egg or, oh, it's just a lease. Okay, try and lease this thing.

[00:03:51]>> 100% for real. This wasn't a repo. He got this car legitimately. He sold it back to the dealer legitimately. Now, obviously, there are some cars, one in particular that's here that a lot of people are talking about right now online. There's a lot of stuff going around, active lawsuits that people are pulling up. Banks don't play. If you get into a car and you overlever yourself and 2 3 months later you can't afford it, the bank isn't just going to say, "Don't worry about it. Just bring the car back." Of course, >> you're responsible for that loan. And a lot of these guys don't understand them when they sign the contracts. Just cuz you're making $500,000 a month right now selling courses doesn't mean you're going to make $500,000 next month.

[00:04:19]>> Exactly. But trying to turn back around and then attack you guys. I'm not involved in any of that. So, I feel like I can make a brief comment here. You had the contract. You saw it. You read through it. Can't afford it. Anyway, uh so this is your old Huracan. This was the first super car I ever bought.

[00:04:33]Started making some money down here. My businesses were doing well. I wanted to get a super car. Now, the issue with that was I had no prior auto loan histories down here. No bank would approve me for this car. However, there are a few banks that people now know of that do approve people for these cars without having to have auto loan history, crazy credit and stuff.

[00:04:48]>> So, that's actually an issue I had with my R8 before I even bought the car. The car I had before the R8 was a C63S, which at the time it's like a quarter of the price of my R8. And so, no matter what I was making monthly at the time, they didn't even care. Even if I was making way more than enough to afford the R8 payment, they just wanted to see what have I paid off in the past that would make me justified to pay off something like this. Right? I went through like three or four different credit unions turned down so many times.

[00:05:12]>> That is the issue with a lot of these cars. You know, these traditional banks, all they want to see is what loans have you paid off in the past? What's your auto loan history like? Doesn't matter if you have an $800 credit score, you're making a million dollars a month, they will not approve you for a loan much greater than your previous loan. It's usually about $50,000 a piece. You know, if they give you a $200,000 loan, okay, maybe get a $300,000 loan. But there's not many banks and financial institutions when it comes to cars that will approve a young guy that's making good money on a car like this. Just like you. My prior car is actually C63S as well. Paid 50 grand for the car. This I bought for $280,000. So think about that jump. 50,000 to a car. He said I have to put 50 grand down on my C63. It was my first auto line. Put 25 grand down. So I came here. I really wanted a super car.

[00:05:51]I was doing well. They said, "Hey, we have some banks. I will approve you just based off of your income." I don't have much credit or auto loan history, but I have income. I got approved on this. I put $75,000 down. It was my first car. I got with this bank. I was paying about $4,800 a month. Had it for 5 months.

[00:06:04]Then I sold it privately. Then I came back and bought the A12. From there, the nice thing with these banks is they're all relationship based. So if you get a car with them, you're making your payments on time, everything's good.

[00:06:12]Your loans, just like a traditional finance, only get easier and easier.

[00:06:15]Less money down, better structures, lower rates. So now I think I'm on my 12th car with this bank. I've had so many cars. I can literally call them up, hey, I want to buy this car. Contracts are in my email 5 minutes later.

[00:06:23]>> Tying this back into the whole scam situation. I think that's where people get this so incredibly wrong where you are legitimately the only one that is scamming yourself in a sense because it literally is all in the contract. And I know it might sound like I'm like being paid to say this right now. This is literally my own opinion that I came to you about making this video cuz I was like, "Hey, this is something I see on the internet every 2 seconds."

[00:06:42]>> The issue with Miami, bro, is the land of the fake. Overlever. Everybody wants to make themselves seem like they're doing better than they are.

[00:06:48]>> What are your thoughts on having the best man in the world that buys you diamond pink Urus's Chanel bags and is buying a $3.5 million hyperar?

[00:06:56]>> I love it.

[00:06:56]>> He was back on payments. He had a Lamborghini Urus. His girlfriend's one, the Russian Chararmmuta with the white diamond wrap. They took that [ __ ] away and tried hiding those things in a warehouse. They took that away. The repo, man.

[00:07:10]>> So, they make their first $50,000 month, $100,000 month, they'll come get a car and put 90 grand down. The next month they make 30 grand. They have 20k in overhead. And then sometimes their bills outweigh how much money they're making.

[00:07:19]It happens all the time down here.

[00:07:20]>> And the reason why it's such a popular thing on the internet is because a lot of these people that are doing it obviously are influencers or course sellers or whatever it may be. So since they make content for a living, it's posted everywhere. And if somebody doesn't get their way, they try to make it a big deal. Now this video is just kind of like shutting that down because it's like you're just done.

[00:07:37]>> You know what happened, too? Influencers were coming here and they were buying Bugattis and people were seeing that for the first time. They were like, "Holy, this dude just got a Bugatti from trading or this." It was new. People were like, "There's no way this is happening." So it 100xed their brand, 100x their income. But it got so overplayed because everybody was trying to copy it that the last couple people that came and bought a hyper car, it didn't give them the same ROI that it used to for the Corsellers back in the day.

[00:08:00]>> Gone were the days of just having a Huracan made you cool. It was like, "Oh [ __ ] this dude has a $4 million coding sink or this guy, you know, like the bar was raised and so it became a trend over the past honestly just the past year really. That was kind of when it really started happening."

[00:08:13]>> And when I sold some of these cars, you know, I had people tell me, "Hey, look, I'm cool with a $50,000 month payment because I think this car is going to make me h 100 grand a month." And then when that doesn't happen and you don't have much saved and your overhead is crazy, all it takes is one bad month for a car to end up right back here.

[00:08:25]>> Kyle, I'll give you a little break of holding the camera for a second.

[00:08:28]>> My arms are sore.

[00:08:28]>> Actually, we're a pretty little yellow Huracan out there.

[00:08:30]>> Yeah, I don't really like what you said about not being cool because I just have a Huracan.

[00:08:34]>> That's the thing. I think a Huracan is cool. I'm talking about >> You got to want to be Huracan, bro.

[00:08:38]>> The R8 is a nicer Huracan to be honest with you. Interior is nicer, infotainment's nicer, speakers are nicer, >> but it doesn't get the dudes asking you how fast you've gone.

[00:08:47]>> How fast have you gone?

[00:08:49]about 80 mph. It >> also doesn't look like you're selling courses, bro. With that great reputation that comes with >> Did you take cash finance? What did you do with your car?

[00:08:56]>> I leased mine. I had to put 25% down.

[00:08:58]Let's just say it was $200,000. I paid Canadian, so it's a little different, but let's say 200,000. I put 50 grand down. I think my payments are about $2,500 bucks a month.

[00:09:05]>> And that's obviously a payment you can easily afford.

[00:09:07]>> I don't know how you guys do it here in the States, but that's for 3 years. At the end of the 3 years, there's still a h 100red grand owing on the car. But I don't just lose that when I bring it back to the dealership. I own the equity in the car. So, I can sell it and I take back like let's say it depreciated 180 grand and I sell it. I'll get 80 grand back and then the company will take it.

[00:09:23]They'll lease it again or I can release it or I can finance it or I can pay cash.

[00:09:27]>> You only hit that balloon if you keep the car for the full 3 years.

[00:09:29]>> See, and a lot of people I think they don't keep the car for 3 years. The other thing, too, though, is all the people that talk about how high some of these payments can be, all of that is calculated into your contract based on you and your financials. They're taking that chance on you to be able to keep up with that payment. Another thing I learned is that I lease the Huracan and then the leasing company sees it online and they see how many miles I'm putting on. They didn't think I was going to be putting on as many miles as I have. So, I just bought another car. I'm not going to say what it is yet, but they jack my monthly payment up more on this next car because they're assuming that I'm going to be driving it more. If I also default on my payment, but I put 20,000 mi on a car, they want to still make sure that they're covered because the leasing company where I live anyways, they are selling wholesale. If I lose the car and the leasing company takes it back, they're selling it wholesale to a dealer like you guys.

[00:10:11]>> Contracts here are similar. There's a mileage allowance in these contracts.

[00:10:14]It's usually about 7500 miles a year.

[00:10:16]However, the leasing company, like you, they don't care unless they rep the car in three months, the car has 30,000 miles more, then they're going to sue you for the negative equity because now they're underwater. They're buried.

[00:10:24]>> And again, it's all about them taking that chance on you to put you into your dream car. So, if your payment is significantly higher than what you would typically calculate it to be, they are taking that chance on you. So, of course, it's going to be higher.

[00:10:35]Everybody's saying that it's all just a ripoff, and it's like, I can't believe you paid that much for that car. Nobody else would give you that car. There's really not many banks out there that will take a chance on a 22-year-old and a se or a 23-year-old in a regger. You go to the bank asking for a loan for a regger, they're going to look at you like you're crazy.

[00:10:49]>> One of the biggest questions is if these core sellers and influencers and whatnot, if everybody's making all this money per month, let's say a 765LT right here, 450, 500 grand. It's like, okay, 2 3 months of you making all that income from whatever it is you do, why don't you just buy the car in cash?

[00:11:03]>> First thing I will say, if someone tells you they're making 200 grand a month, they're probably making 40 grand a month. You know that's never whatever someone whatever someone tells you they're making X amount. They're not making that kind of money.

[00:11:12]>> Whatever I tell you is actually true.

[00:11:13]Just so we know. I paid for his lunch today.

[00:11:15]>> He's Canadian. I'm on his side. Most of the guys that are coming in here are young guys. They're not in their 40s or 50s or 60s. They're in their 20s.

[00:11:21]They're making a little bit of money, bro. To save up for 765 LT and you're making 50 grand a month plus your bills, plus your businesses. You got to save up for a hot minute. Or you can come in, put some money down and drive with it today and just make some monthly payments. Course I think this is me personally speaking. I don't keep cars that long. I like to get in and out of stuff. I'm a huge car guy. want to experience stuff. So for me to go and tie up $500,000 into a car that I'm probably going to sell in 3 4 months just doesn't make sense. You can put 70 80 90 grand down, drive off with it, and then 3 months you're going to have 500,000 tied into a This isn't a depreciating asset. This car has actually gone up a lot in recent times, but you're not parking all this money they could be using for other things into a depreciating asset. The older guys that do have a lot of money, you know, they on guys online, I don't want to name people, but a lot of guys in the 40s, 50s, they have a bunch of cars, they say they pay cash for them, and they on guys like us. I just do not think that's fair whatsoever because when you're in your 40s and 50s and 60s 100% bro you've been on earth for that long. You've been an entrepreneur for that long stack cash.

[00:12:10]>> You stack cash. You probably exited some businesses. In your 20s you haven't had enough time in business to experience that kind of success. So for them to go buy their cars cash makes a ton of sense.

[00:12:19]>> I think it is way cooler to have a car like a supercar in your 20s or 30s as opposed to like 50s or 60s.

[00:12:26]>> It hits way different.

[00:12:26]>> $250,000 for a Huracan or you toss what's a regular down payment for on a Huracan right now? I'm getting people approved. 50 grand down, >> 250K out of your pocket gone. Or 50K in a monthly payment that you can afford.

[00:12:38]You have a Huracan.

[00:12:39]>> God forbid. I don't want to talk like this happens. Let's say you buy a car cash or Huracan, $50,000. You total that car. So, insurance doesn't pay out that fast. I've seen insurance claims take a year to pay out. So, now you have all that money stuck in a car. You're not driving. You can't use that money.

[00:12:50]You're waiting for insurance to pay you out. Or you put a little bit of money down. You're paying monthly payments.

[00:12:53]You're paying 4 grand a month. Takes insurance 8 months to pay you out.

[00:12:56]You're not like desperately trying to get that $250,000 back. I think if you can leverage properly, you're not overleveraging yourself. Always leverage the bank's money.

[00:13:03]>> One of the last things that I want to talk about that you see on the internet all the time is dealership. Everybody loves to say Cario is a scam. Cario is selling cars. Whatever, right? We're looking at some of the nicest cars on the planet right now. There's a collection of Ferraris over there that I don't even think Ferrari could name all the cars that are sitting over there.

[00:13:19]>> 100%. I don't work here. I have no incentive to speak highly, to speak fully. I come here, I bring clients, I get hit by a lot of people, hey, I want to buy a Huracan. I know banks approve me. I know banks that do right now. At one point they were selling 50, 60, 70 cars a month. They had 200 cars in inventory. He was buying everything that he could. When you're moving that kind of volume, not everything's going to come out clean. And a lot of issues happen after the fact. One of my boys bought a 48. 10 days later, he's driving the Turbo Blue. How is the dealer supposed to know that the Turbo is about >> I know. I just see a lot of stuff on the internet of people really shit-talking literally everything about this place.

[00:13:47]>> They used to carry like some of the cheapest cars in the country. Like the cheapest Huracans were here, the cheapest Uruses with 100,000 miles or whatever. And I always tell people, look, bro, if the price is too good to be true, it's not a good car. You're buying a 100,000 mi. It might be the cheapest, you might think you're getting a great deal. You got to understand it has 100,000 mi versus like that SPJ over there, the orange one, $1.3 million car, 4,000 m.

[00:14:06]>> I can almost guarantee that cars have no issue, right? I've never had an issue with a car that I've ever bought here.

[00:14:10]And I've bought a lot of cars.

[00:14:11]>> Again, I will make it very clear. I'm not even remotely being paid a dime to say any of this. This is a video I wanted to make myself because of all of the comments and all of the negative publicity that this place gets, the least deals we get. Literally, he's one of the first people I would hit up to get into another car simply because you don't have to jump through all these hurdles and because I'm still pretty young.

[00:14:29]>> Tell her I think a nice next car would be that reggera back there. Low 800 grand down. You think I think we can make that work?

[00:14:34]>> Yeah, man. We could we could do that.

[00:14:35]Two month leveraging yourself, right?

[00:14:37]>> Well, no, no, no. Payments.

[00:14:39]>> Well, could you do like a two-month uh lease? Can you just Vim on me some uh >> for you? Okay, we'll do a two month.

[00:14:45]>> I like this guy. All right.

[00:14:46]>> Now, for my literal dream car of all time, even though >> I would like a coupe. The Roadsters are so much more expensive for one. I can't afford one right now. Jaden.

[00:14:54]>> Hey, dude. What's up, man? Yo, >> how's it going, bro?

[00:14:57]>> Hold on. This thing's straight pipe.

[00:14:58]>> I was going to say Keller's like, "We should wait for this guy to move this car." And I was like, "Don't worry, it's electric." As a joke, cuz it's actually electric.

[00:15:03]>> No, it it actually is electric. This is legitimately my dream car, but I currently right now could not afford one of these. This is what 132 this. So, the SVJs, dude, that market has exploded.

[00:15:14]This car a year ago, I could have got you into this car. probably has 4,000 mi. Add personum, high window sticker.

[00:15:20]This car was probably about a $900,000 car. Today, this car is selling for about $1.3 million.

[00:15:25]>> What's the average coupe market right now?

[00:15:27]>> So, the coups are now going for what roadsters used to go for. The cheapest coupe actually looked yesterday, $754,000, >> $19,000 mi.

[00:15:33]>> That's a lot more doable, but still not for me.

[00:15:35]>> What is the lowest I could get into that car for? Like the lowest down payment and then monthly payment.

[00:15:40]>> So, I could probably get you in that car 200 grand down, maybe 150 if the bank's in a good mood. 150.

[00:15:45]>> Dude, should I buy an SUV?

[00:15:47]>> This is my channel, Kyle. Get the out of here, dude. I want to buy one. I don't have 150. Can you send me that?

[00:15:51]>> Your payment is probably going to be around 13514 a month.

[00:15:53]>> Maybe I just get rid of the Huracan, get rid of the other car I'm just in the process of buying.

[00:15:57]>> Oh, man. And those cars are easy because the bank looks of them, they know those cars are appreciating. So, if they have to repo you, they're going to have equity in the car.

[00:16:03]>> Everybody watching right now is like, "Holy [ __ ] that is the most expensive payment I've ever heard of." Yeah. It's because he's getting you in the car for 150, 200 grand. If you can't afford it, that would make sense for you. If you're making honestly 50,000 a month regularly steady like steady and especially if you're a content creator and you're able to use that car to your benefit, 14 grand a month on a car like that would make sense for you. Where it doesn't make sense is when you can't afford the payment anymore and then you love to talk about guys like him that all is doing what you couldn't get done and then that was it.

[00:16:31]>> The repos that you see happen because the guys aren't putting much money down.

[00:16:35]If they had equity in the car, they could just go sell it tomorrow. And a lot of people want to come in like, "Bro, I want to put the least amount down possible." But those guys have a higher chance of getting repoed than a guy that's come down with 400 grand cash. If he can't afford the payment anymore, guess what? The car's still worth $1.3 million. He goes and sells it. He gets the 400 grand back. No issue.

[00:16:51]>> I will say again, I'm not being paid at all by Jaden by Carario. For real, where can people find you if they actually want to get into something like this or really any car?

[00:16:58]>> So, Instagram, JC Canon Bloom. I would say that's probably the place I get hit up the most. I have a WhatsApp chat that I post a lot of deals in too, which is in my bio, so you guys can click that and go join the chat. But yeah, if you're interested in any car, it doesn't even have to be just from Carrier. I work with some other dealerships as well. I can get the same financing done with. Hit me up on Instagram, Jake Canon.

[00:17:13]>> Hey, why is my R8 on a tow truck?

[00:17:14]>> You getting a repo or is there a two-month lease up?

[00:17:16]>> Shut the up, dude.

[00:17:17]>> I'm here for my motor swap.

[00:17:19]>> Do you think you could knock it out in like 20 minutes?

[00:17:21]>> 15.

[00:17:22]>> That's doable.

[00:17:24]>> Hello, sir.

[00:17:25]>> This isn't yours.

[00:17:26]>> I just can't stay away from green cars.

[00:17:27]I don't I don't know why.

[00:17:30]>> Like an old man now.

[00:17:37]We are at Seven Creation. Give a little rundown of your shop, Vin.

[00:17:40]>> Do a little bit of everything.

[00:17:41]Performance shop, wheels, exhaust.

[00:17:43]>> We just went from Cario, which is Fort Lauderdaleish, and now we're up in what, West Palm?

[00:17:47]>> Yeah, West Palm Beach.

[00:17:48]>> Vin and his guys over at his shop.

[00:17:50]They're going to be doing an oil change on the R8 before I go back home. Check on my AC because it literally doesn't blow cold right now. And also, I have a leaking valve stem on your windows are always down. I'm like, why is this guy windows down? Oh, bro. If I had AC, >> I was like, "This guy got crazy for not just rolling the window."

[00:18:04]>> Ben has an R8. I think it's been in a couple of my videos before, but he has the Valronic F1 catback. Does not have the headers. I one up you on that.

[00:18:11]>> OEM gutted. Gets the job done.

[00:18:13]>> You can't say that on YouTube, man. You can't say they're gutted cats, dude.

[00:18:16]>> Oh, no. I'm Asian with two cats.

[00:18:17]>> You do have the Valtronic F1 catback, though. Obviously, yes. His is loud as well. So, in the same room as yours, >> I mean, it still is pretty loud.

[00:18:24]>> We're going to do an oil change.

[00:18:25]hopefully see if we can figure out what's wrong with my AC and fix a valve stem because Kyle's wheels. You just keeping them up, dude.

[00:18:31]>> Do nothing, dude. You bought some up valve stem wheels.

[00:18:34]>> They're not OEM.

[00:18:35]>> Okay.

[00:18:35]>> Yeah, they're not OEM val. Yeah, tell Abigail that.

[00:18:38]>> Abigail janky valve stems.

[00:18:40]>> Yeah, there is a lineup of green vehicles here currently. We are missing one green vehicle.

[00:18:45]>> I'm trying to film something. You mind?

[00:18:46]>> Aiden was a McLaren and it broke. Can you believe that?

[00:18:50]>> We don't know what's wrong with this car, but basically the motor just blew up. So, um Oh, >> it didn't blow up. You just got to take it out. But it's not blown.

[00:18:57]>> Cam shaft. Probably >> it sounds blown up, dude.

[00:18:59]>> Oh, >> that classifies as blown.

[00:19:01]>> Look at how I got to sit how he's got his seat set up.

[00:19:04]>> You know you can move it, right?

[00:19:06]>> I don't know how.

[00:19:15]>> Okay, this is kind of crazy. I didn't even realize this was a thing. But on the GT, this opens.

[00:19:19]>> How does it normally open on the S?

[00:19:21]>> I mean glass off. Yeah, you've taken it to come up just like this.

[00:19:25]>> The whole pane of glass.

[00:19:26]>> Yeah.

[00:19:26]>> I used to be eyeing the 570 market for a while and GTS were always relatively cheap.

[00:19:30]>> Yeah. I don't know. I think you paid like 135 140 for this car. Something like that.

[00:19:34]>> That's not bad.

[00:19:34]>> All right. How total is it?

[00:19:35]>> Oh, no. It's looking good so far.

[00:19:37]>> Hell yeah. Actually, introduce yourself.

[00:19:39]>> Oh, hey. I'm PJ. How are you? They call me PJ the Audi tech. Or they used to at least.

[00:19:42]>> Why don't they anymore?

[00:19:43]>> I stopped calling myself that. Okay.

[00:19:45]>> Cuz I started finding other cars. So, I started working on other cars as well.

[00:19:48]>> Dude, look at the headers on these things. You nice. Hell yeah. Okay. All right. I see what you're talking about.

[00:19:56]>> I used to have ice cold AC until I had a splitter snap off, rip underneath the car. I pull off the side of the road. I start to rip it off with my hands. Get back in the car and it blows warm.

[00:20:05]>> Oh, that fell. That's not good. That's one of my cop lights. What's been chewing on this thing?

[00:20:09]>> Chewing. Oh, it's these. These aren't for this car.

[00:20:12]>> Oh, and they did this. They have been ripping my fender liners out every time I full lock.

[00:20:15]>> Extra ventilation. This is your AC compressor right here. And then it's shaft driven to the flywheel if you look back. So there's no traditional belt or anything. This thing revs so high. You need to have that direct drive for the AC compressor. And it's not clutched like a traditional AC compressor. It actually modulates pressures by the AC control head. Basically controls it. And that will vary how much compressing your compressor is doing. That's the easiest way to see it.

[00:20:37]>> So what happens is internally it fails.

[00:20:39]Super common on a lot of Volkswagens and Audi's, but especially it happens on the R8, especially the early cars.

[00:20:44]>> That's what was so confusing because it has always worked. Like I've had this car for 2 years now. I've put like 70,000 mi myself on this car. It's always worked perfectly fine until that splitter ripped off. And it literally, I kid you not, this is what it did. It's almost like it folded under the car and it was wedged underneath here. And so I pull off to the side of the road and I rip the rest of it off. I hop back in the car. AC's blowing warm. So that's why I'm like, did it hit something up here? I mean, there could have been something. Well, see, this is your condenser up here. Obviously seen better days if you look better days.

[00:21:13]>> I don't see any obvious cracks in it.

[00:21:15]>> This also could be a reason why it's not blowing cold.

[00:21:19]Okay. I thought this was a radiator for motor.

[00:21:22]>> The radiator is behind it. So there it's in a sandwich. So basically you have the condenser in the front and then right behind it is the radiator. When it takes the hit and starts leaking, if a rock does hit the front and that's why you actually have this like protective grate that's in there on it. That's trying to prevent rocks from hitting it. Cuz when rocks do hit it, if it does puncture the condenser, your Freon will run.

[00:21:40]>> Yeah. I've never Nothing's ever leaked.

[00:21:42]Nothing's ever like >> You won't see it. A technician can usually smell it while it's happening, but it'll only leak till there's nothing else in the system.

[00:21:47]>> I feel like best case scenario would be that it is this front condenser, right?

[00:21:50]Or no.

[00:21:51]>> From a price standpoint, yes. You would rather it have be up here. If it's not a condenser or a small leak that's easy to get to, it gets progressively more expensive.

[00:21:59]>> Yeah. The way I Yeah. The way my $6 left is set up. Um >> Wait, this is a what?

[00:22:05]>> Seat out of a Dodge Ram.

[00:22:07]>> Sorry, I was distracted by best R8 in the world starting up there. What was it?

[00:22:10]>> Dodge Ram seat. Switch back.

[00:22:12]>> There you go. There you go.

[00:22:13]>> Swing it. Damn. Hey, he's swinging that.

[00:22:16]>> Yo, we had a takeover though, >> man. He lowkey swinging it though.

[00:22:20]Damn.

[00:22:22]Damn.

[00:22:23]>> So, we have a 4 RS. Apparently, we're strapping the old Ram chair. What are we doing?

[00:22:33]>> Bro, sometimes I really question our sanity.

[00:22:36]>> He's supposed to be changing my oil.

[00:22:37]What's he doing? Oh, I'm uh I was just updating you that I'm resetting the service light.

[00:22:43]>> Right here is showing the activation amperage of the AC compressor. What the specified value basically what the AC control head, which is basically the AC's computer, it's specifying that it wants 65 amps activated to the compressor. The actual value from the sensor and the compressor is actually showing, yeah, I got the 65 amps. And I'm going to show you when I turn the AC off, it will actually drop down. This is the refrigerant pressure in bar. You have refrigerant. You don't have a leak.

[00:23:06]So that means your condensers are fine.

[00:23:08]What this is showing is that you have nine bar with the AC on. Watch when I turn the AC off. Now it should drop. The AC light is now off. If you look, your pressure didn't drop. You have no activation amps now and no received amps >> essentially. That means new compressor for sure.

[00:23:24]>> Compressor is working. That means there's a compressor, but everything in it is destroyed.

[00:23:27]>> I guess I'm curious what would have happened if with the splitter situation.

[00:23:31]Anything or nothing?

[00:23:32]>> Just random happened at the same time.

[00:23:33]>> Really?

[00:23:34]>> That's what my guess would be. Crazy.

[00:23:36]Damn.

[00:23:37]>> Okay, >> that's your luck.

[00:23:38]>> That sucks.

[00:23:38]>> Jake just left in the 3 RS.

[00:23:51]>> I'm changing that exhaust out ASAP. But that's better than stock cuz it's straight pipe basically. Just catalyst headers and just straight pipe.

[00:23:57]>> Are you doing?

[00:23:58]>> Oh, I'm just [ __ ] laring. These are all my cars.

[00:24:02]>> These are These are all yours.

[00:24:03]>> Yeah, this is my shop. I do it all honestly. But you can buy my course.

[00:24:07]I'll tell you how I do it.

[00:24:08]>> How'd you do it?

[00:24:09]>> Well, you got to buy my course.

[00:24:10]>> This is 122,000 mi Audi R8. Let's see what the oil looks like.

[00:24:19]>> How are we looking? That's pretty dark.

[00:24:26]>> I don't see no flakes in it.

[00:24:27]>> Dude, why is it sparkling? Why is it all glittery? It's kind of pretty. Doesn't look too bad, right?

[00:24:31]>> That actually looks pretty good.

[00:24:33]>> She is all wrapped up. Thank you, sir.

[00:24:34]>> Of course. Anytime.

[00:24:36]>> For real. This was like very last minute. It's like 12 hours down, 12 hours back up. And literally, as soon as I got down to Florida, it told me oil change due. So, I'm technically I was like 200 overdue. But now they got me sorted. But the oil didn't look that bad, did it? It was just kind of >> Yeah. No discourse.

[00:24:50]>> Oh, thank you guys for real.

[00:24:52]>> Appreciate it. Hey, dude. Why is it saying I need nine quarts of oil?

[00:25:11]man also has valronic catback. He doesn't have the headers. He has good cats. So, it's kind of like hitting stereo. Has a little higher pitch, but Is that a cop?

[00:25:40]No.

[00:26:00]Heat.

[00:26:02]Heat.
