Stop this song without any words.
A
I got so high. Better than you. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Kevin 08 Wrangler Unlimited 4X4. Is it lifted? It is lifted. How much? 4 inch 32s, 33s on the tires.
B
Do you remember 30, 33, 33s.
A
Okay. Hard top.
B
Yes.
A
Dude, you know what this vehicle is? I mean, you only have six of them, right? A month ago I would have given you 18, and now I'm gonna hit you at 15.
B
Yeah, that's what I was listening to. I heard what you were saying about that. The past six months the numbers were bad. And I just wonder, you know, just trying to get an idea what I can get for it. 4x4 body damage or. There's no body damage, no dings, no death. Interior is immaculate. But you're saying around 15?
A
Yeah, if you're a jeep guy. You know, these things have just always oversold. I mean they've just always been worth more money than book. They've always been a premium. You can't steal a jeep. It's just, I mean, they're just high and they're, they're just, they're just adjusting finally. I mean, the Four Door Unlimited came out in 08 or 07. I forgot. No, it was like I was. I don't know. But anyway, this car has been overselling for 10 years and they're finally starting to adjust a little bit. I'm a 15 grand buyer with a hard top and a lift on 90,000 miles.
B
Okay.
A
Hey, I've got one that I've got 18 grand in, by the way. Don't feel bad. I mean, I'm going to take a big old loss on it. I took a thousand dollar hit on that one two days ago. I took a $2,000 hit on one last week. I mean, I've been losing money on everyone I get a hold of because I. All right, well, I've been big ball.
B
What would I do to go about selling it to you?
A
Okay. GiveMeTheEven.com is our website. Drop the VIN number in, put the miles on comments say John hit it at 15 grand on the radio. Here's the pictures. There's a place to push two pictures and then either Brad, Hooter or Michael text you back, hey, send me some more pictures. And, and they'll send you a checklist of what we need. We need a copy of the front, back of the title. Just a picture or the payoff information, a copy of your driver's license. We verify the car is okay through the pictures and then we send a driver to your house to pick it up with a check. Unless you. If there's a payoff, then we have to pay it off.
B
There is not a payoff.
A
Okay, then we'll just pick it up with a check. We'll swap you out a $15,000 check for the title and truck on the spot at your, at your work or your house, wherever you want. Are you in Houston or Dallas?
B
I'm in Galveston.
A
Okay, that's fine.
B
Just get my getmyven.com.
A
Give me, give me the vin.com. give me the vin.com.
B
Gotcha.
A
Thanks.
B
All right, well, appreciate it, guys.
A
And look it over for rust. You're down on the beach. If it's got bad rust, I need to know it because that's the one. We've had to turn down a couple of cars when we've gotten to Galveston over rust, but not, I mean, surface rust on the frame. Understand? When it gets holes in it or it gets weak spots in it, that's when it's a problem.
B
Right now the only problem I had was around the, the windshield brackets, but I had those replaced with stainless steel.
A
Okay. So under the undercarriage that the, the exhaust pipes not rusted out or anything like that.
B
Well, I just had that replaced with a bank's banks power exhaust.
A
Okay, cool. Well, we got a. And like, I mean, if it's, you know, beach cars, they typically have a rust color on the frame. We just reshoot in black. I mean, not trying to, but I mean, if they're bad, then. I've got one. The other day I bought it at Lake Charles. It's terrible. I mean, a four wheel drive Ford truck. I mean, it's like got holes in the frame, so it's junk. I mean, I got to sell it. Frame damage and you know, I'm going to wind up losing my butt on it. But anyway, yeah, we'll give you 15 grand.
B
All right. Well, it was just so, you know, it was originally in the Atlanta, Georgia area, so I picked it up out there in 2012. So it wasn't always on the beach.
A
It hasn't lived its life in the beach. Okay. I'm good. I'm cool.
B
Yeah.
A
All right, let's get it done. Thanks. 15 Sierra with 7,000 miles. Gene, is it a crew cab? Is it the big back door or the small back door?
B
It's the big back door. It's fully loaded. The only thing it doesn't have is four wheel drive. And that's why I'm calling to see what I can get for it to get me a four wheel drive.
A
What brand do you want?
B
GMC or Ford?
A
Ford. Okay. Where do you live?
B
Bridge City, Texas.
A
Gotcha. So it's got leather roof nav, the big wheels. Is it a.
B
It's a. I take that back. It doesn't have roof.
A
Okay. What color?
B
It's a quicksilver diamond. Quicksilver.
A
Okay.
B
No, I'm thinking when I bought it I wasn't thinking I was going to want a four wheel drive. Now when I see everybody's got one, I want one.
A
There's a lot of options on these rigs. Too much to get into on the radio. But my gut is telling me $30,000 based off what I've been paying for two wheel drive. It's not a high country. An ltz leather roof nav is worth 30 grand. And yours is a GMC without the roof. But the GMCs are worth a little bit more money than the Chevy's. So I'm figuring the difference. But anyway, put me down for 30 for the record. But we'll rebid it once we get the VIN number and the pictures. If you go to givemetheven.com, we'll email hard number.
B
Okay, bud.
A
Thank you. Huh? 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 800800 radio. So remember, I wanted to. I wanted to get a Rover. Yes. And I got a lease price on a new Rover. It was two grand a month. Yeah. So I found, I mean, just ironically, a guy we do business with by car show has a white, black, two tone Rover. The one I wanted the hundred and fifty grander. And it's 80, 80, 80,000 with 13,000 miles. So I called the leasing company and I give them the VIN number. I said, you know, now that the big depreciation's already happened, how much would it cost to lease this for two years? Because I don't want to buy them because they fall so hard. I mean, you cannot buy a Range Rover, not lose your shirt. Two grand a month. Really? The lease residual was 50% over two years. That means that the leasing companies figured it to lose 50% of its value in two years with only 10,000 miles a year. Yeah, I was like, my God. So I'm sticking with Ford trucks for now. Yeah, good idea. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Why do you want a Rover so bad? I just don't see you driving a Rover. That's what my wife said. It's not you. That's what my wife said. There's something. What? What bug bit you? The two tone Rover. I like it. And I spend so much time in my car. You think they're that comfortable though? Yeah. Yeah, they are. I don't want a luxury car. I want a luxury suv. And everybody has a Lexus. Good morning, you're on the air.
B
Hey, how you doing? I've got a 2010 F250 lariat. Black, black, fully loaded.
A
How many miles?
B
It's got 111.
A
Lifted or stock?
B
It's got a 4 inch lift.
A
Diesel or gas?
B
Diesel. I just put brand new 35 inch Toyo all terrain and brand new 20 inch wheels.
A
Okay. Long, bad or short?
B
It's kind of six foot six.
A
Okay.
B
Short, regular.
A
Factory navigation, Factory sunroof.
B
It's got the factory, the Bluetooth navigation, the backup cameras, sunroof, the rear power, sliding window.
A
Okay. Nav and roof are the two hard options. Those are the money options. And obviously it's leather. If it's a lariat. On a scale of 1 to 10, is it an 8 or a 9? Is it a nice truck?
B
It's plain, it's slow.
A
Have you geeked out the emissions or the chips or the. Have you done any work on it? No, it's stock. Okay. Yep, it's a 10. It's an old body style. 6, 4 liter or 6, 7, whatever that's called. 64 with 110, 11 lifted. Bad to the bone. 24 grand is what I wrote down. I'm not looking at anything. I'm just basing off of trucks I bought like that recently. What does that do to you? Are you there? Good Lord. Yep. 24,000.
B
24.
A
Yep. All right, go to givemetheven.com. load it up. 800, 800, 7, 2, 3, 4. 800800 radio is how you get a hold of us right now. We're wrapping the show up. So if you want to get on the air and get a bid, you need to call now. 800-800-Radio. 800-8007,000. 234 Omar. 97 Civic with only 30,000 miles. Somebody passed away in your life, huh? Did someone pass away and leave this to you?
B
No, no, no. So here's the deal. I. I had this 97 cigarette. We did a 2000 conversion and put an SI in there. We wanted to turbo it out. It's ready for all that. Got a si, you know, twin cam everything. The Ford leather seats, total, totally converted. Super nice. But the new Type R is coming out and that comes stock turbo. So rather than putting, you know, finishing the project, putting a turbo, just. I just rather buy the new one. So I just. I'm looking for, you know, the money to, to put it in, you know, the down payments.
A
What will you take for it, man?
B
I really would love, you know, like five or six.
A
Okay. Okay. So I'm confused. What is this now? It's a Subaru WRX that used to be a Civic. Okay.
B
No, no, no. It's a. No, no, no.
A
It's a.
B
It's a. It's a 1997 Honda Civic. But with the 2000 Civic Si complete conversion.
A
I'm just being sarcastic. You turned it into a hot rod.
B
Basically. Basically, yeah. Okay. Okay. That was funny.
A
I don't know. How about that? Am I going to give 5,000 for it? No, I do know that. Will I give 3 or 35? Possibly. I really need to see the pictures and everything you just wrote down. Explain it. So go to givemetheven.com, put the VIN number in, push the pictures and just give me a brief summary of the conversion you did so I can figure out what the hell this is and we'll get on it. 800. What do you say? Sweet. Yeah. I bet you it has suede interior. It's a Rice rock. It's got a great big pipe on the back. Oh, yeah. You know, it's. You know what the. Whenever the VTEC hits on Honda, whenever it kicks in, you know what it sounds like? Gay. Okay. Eight hundred. Eight. No, they sell. I mean. Yeah, no, there's a. This is a 97. That body stole. I mean, does he got wheels and paint and stuff? Who knows? Dude, we could have spent an hour on that call. I just wanted to get it online before my brain started melting. 800-800-7, 2, 3, 4. 800. 800 radio. Yeah. The rovers are depreciating assets. We knew that already. And that's why I kept trying to lease one. But why do I want to drive one? I don't know. There's so much more luxury SUV that's what you're looking for. Have you seen or a Land Cruiser? Yeah, I'll say. What about a land Cruiser? An LX? A Land 70. I don't want an LX. I don't want to be Lexus. Don't want. Just, just. That's what the Land Cruiser is. I know it. But. But the Land Cruiser says, hey, I can afford a nice car, but I'm not cheesy and didn't buy Lexus. It's the same rig. What about the Infinity QX56? You sat in those things. Oh, I've driven those things to Colorado back and they're awesome. Best driving car on the road. Half the price of the Rover. Right? But I'm sick of them.
B
Just.
A
Oh, too many. The. The body style. I see we're going now. The body style on that Infinity is so aggressive. They age out quick in your eyes. They've always done that. I mean, when the Q45 came out in 96, 97, I was like, wow, look at that car. But like two years from you, like, ah, it looks like a spaceship. It's over. I don't know. They just, they term out quick in my brain. You don't want. You want something that not everybody has. Yeah, that's what it is. I mean, I'm a car guy, you know, I mean, that's my business. I'm supposed to have something a little bit special. Why are we losing all these calls? They're all falling off. I'm taking one live. Good morning. Who's this?
B
This is Ron.
A
Hey, Ron. What you got?
B
I got a no 7. H2.
A
Good. I like H2s. How many miles?
B
You're probably not gonna like that. I think 117,000.
A
That's okay. They quit making them. I still like them. Is it lifted or is it stock?
B
It is stock.
A
17 grand. 16 grand. This is what I've been given for those Miley ones.
B
Oh, okay.
A
Is that cool? Does that work for you?
B
Well, I'm gonna see if it works for my wife because she loves this dang thing. It's my vehicle, but she loves it.
A
Well, go to givemetheven.com. put the VIN number and push the picture. Say wolf hit at 16, 17 grand on the air. And we'll email you an official offer letter.

B
I've got a 2000 Dodge Dakota RT.
A
Okay.
B
It's a, it's. It's got a. The sensors in the transmission have gone bad and the motor's got a knock.
A
Oh, that's bad. I don't really want it then. I mean, you know, 500 bucks. I like those things. They're worth some money when they're ready. But that car, to replace the engine in that car is going to cost $3,500, isn't it?
B
Yeah, I've got it. I've got a guy, I've got a couple of guys that have been interested that we're going to drop new motors in them. So I was just curious, what did.
A
They say it cost to put a motor in that rig?
B
You know, I haven't really looked it up. The guy that was going to replace the motor, he had a four wheel drive with the same 5.9 liter motor. So he's. He's already got the motor ready.
A
Just sell it to the first guy that offers you anything and be done with it. I'm giving you good advice. I mean, projects. And I know it's your money and it's hard and it's emotional, but man, you get a hold of something like that.
B
I know I wasn't gonna. I know I wasn't gonna get a lot for it.
A
So what have you had offered on it so far?
B
I've had an offer for 15.
A
Why did you not take it? I'm not being sarcastic. I do it all the time.
B
The guy called me the day before he was going to come pick it up and said he was reevaluating, you know, with the economy and everything and decided he didn't want to buy a truck right now.
A
Okay, so you didn't have a good. You haven't had a good offer that you've turned down yet?
B
Not really.
A
Okay, well, whenever somebody comes off a thousand dollar bill or anything close to it, just take it.
B
Yep, that's what I plan on doing.
A

B
They just took him to the. I just took him to the bank. You know.
A
You know what's, what, what's. What's weird is that's still, you know, everybody. Old car dealings changed and the computers changed everything. And everybody in the industry's transparent. It's not true. It is just as bad as it ever was. They will take you out bigger than Dallas if they have a chance. Yeah, just as bad as. They're just smoother about it. I mean, I. I sit in these stores and watch what's going on. I'm just like, man, you know, y' all are gonna see this guy in two years when he comes to trade this thing back in. Then what? Worry about that then. Okay.

Yeah, it's a little low for me.
A
It's just the miles.
B
I'm upside down on it as well.
A
It's just the miles. It's just the miles. That's that.
B
Yeah, I got you.
A
All right, well, if you change your mind, we might find some more money. We might find another thousand, but I don't think we're gonna find 2,000 more. If another thousand would do the trick, go to givemetheven.com and push it to my guys and they'll send you a bid.
B

A

A
Is it an Overland? Because that sounds like an Overland.
B
No, I wish it was pretty cars.
A
Does it. Does it have that automatic cruise control braking thing that keeps you from hitting people?
B
If it does, I've never used it, to be honest.
A
When you. When you set the cruise on these things, it won't let you run over somebody. It's the damn thing. Like if you're going 60 and there's a guy in front of you, 150, when you get up on him, like within 300 yards, it'll start slowing down. It's cool.
B
I honestly don't know if I have that. I would say no, but I don't know for sure.
A
He's saying he's. He hasn't tried to kill anybody, I hear. Well, you don't have to try to kill somebody. Just let it go. It won't let you kill anybody. It's a 20. Hang on. It's a 14 grand Cherokee Limited. This truck should be worth more than this.

A
What do you think you owe?
B
29.
A
Yeah. You're a little flip, but you're not bad. Hell, everybody's flipped these days. I mean, let me look at average MMR on this car. Hold on a second. Let me put in the. It doesn't have an average. It's too bad. Go ahead and send me the vintage. Go to givemetheven.com givemetheven.com and put the VIN and on the comments, put what we talked about on the radio and we were going to relook at it. I'm going to try to get closer to 29. I might get. I might be able to get to 27 because the miles are so damn low.
B
I'll do it.
A
Thank you.
B
Thank you.

In this lively hour of The John Clay Wolfe Show, John and his team take rapid-fire calls from listeners looking to sell their cars, providing real-time appraisals and dealership-level buying advice. The hour covers everything from Jeeps and pickup trucks to hot rods and classic Mercedes, with discussions full of humor, candid market insights, and a little rock & roll spirit. There’s also the occasional detour into SUV envy, “flipped” loans, and Super Bowl picks.
