Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Country Music, Party Vibes, and Beer in the Morning (00:19–04:15)

• The guys are in a festive mood, singing along to a classic country song that makes John want to “drink and go to Mexico” (00:35). They riff on how modern country lacks storytelling, contrasting it with classics.
• They poke fun at writing a stereotypical Luke Bryan hit:
  “I could write any Luke Bryant song in two minutes or less. Any one of them!” – Casey (01:51)
• Nostalgia for old-school country stars with real-life grit (Charlie Robison, Dixie Chicks) sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

2. Texans Fans, Playoffs, and John’s Anti-Car-Talk Rant (03:43–05:44)

• Excitement over the Houston Texans in the NFL playoffs:
  “I'm gonna drink with them, cuz we're going Super Bowl!” – John (03:45)
• John admits,
  “The less we could talk about cars, the happier I am.” (04:07),
  but acknowledges cars are central to the show, thanks to sponsor GiveMeTheVIN.com.

3. Cars Bought and Sold This Week: Behind the Wholesale Curtain (06:14–13:09)

• John and the crew detail real-world car deals. Highlights:
  • 2010 Mercedes E350, 2010 BMW 650, Rovers, Explorers, Mazdas.
  • Candidly discuss the slim margins, headaches, and “no customer service” ethos for public buyers.
  • John explains why private buyers pay more:
    “Why would you charge me $1,500 more than what you charge a dealer? ...because I have to talk to you.” (08:44)
  • Story of a faked CarMax offer and how John plays it straight—“If I don't beat a CarMax offer, I will send you a check for a hundred dollars.” (10:52)

4. Lottery Dreams & “Top 10 Things Not To Buy” (14:11–16:33)

• With a massive Powerball jackpot looming, the crew and callers riff on what they’d do with the money.
  “I’d spend it on hookers and cocaine.” – John (14:43, quoting a viral TV interview)
• Casey delivers a tongue-in-cheek “Top 10 Things Not to Buy if You Win the Lottery” (15:05), lampooning everything from Jeb Bush yard signs to Bill Cosby pudding pops.
• They recall true tales of lottery winners losing it all quickly.
  “The average is five years—from winning to broke or dead.” – Casey (17:02)

5. Car Buying: What John Really Wants to Buy (23:50–26:00)

• John gives his wish list for best car buys: three-year-old Corvettes, King Ranch trucks, loaded Subarus, classic Tahoes, etc.
  “I like cars to make friends...Where they get more than they thought they had coming.” – John (25:10)
• Reveals the pain of sellers thinking they’re “stealing it”—usually it means they’re losing money.

6. Caller Interactions & Real-Time Car Deals (29:43–45:31)

• Highlights from callers wanting to sell:
  • Chevy Equinox LTZ valued at $10k (30:37–32:10)
  • 1992 Corvette ZR1, with price haggling over wholesale vs. retail (35:19–38:08)
  • 2005 Toyota Sequoia with 154,000 miles—spot-on pricing and expectations (38:50–40:16)
  • 2012 Nissan GTR mix-up as a Toyota (“senior moment” comedy), and detailed negotiation on price and trade-in strategy (40:16–45:27).
• John emphasizes realistic expectations and the advantage of using their system for maximum value, especially with trade-in tax credits.

7. Random Banter, Demographics, and Gun Shop Talk (32:30–35:13)

• Debates whether iPhone users have more money than Android users (John thinks they do).
• Light takes on Republican/Democrat demographics tied to car purchases and taxes.
• The decline of a local gun shop sparks musings about missed business opportunities due to political climates.

[Casey]

You like, because he comes. He's a picture of the country guy. He comes out there. He's got a. He's in Billy Bob's. He's got a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and he's just like, you know, I just don't care that I'm here. But, man, he's good. All the stuff bleeds out of his heart. It's so. I mean, you could tell he's lived every word of it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have you ever been to Mexico and seen weird scenes that's why I like this song.

[Casey]

I haven't.

[John Clay Wolf]

I have. And it's true. Laredo. Her name's Willow? Ring around the collar? Got that ring hung in her nose? She works there. She's a whore.

[Michael]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. Dresses. She's a gotcha? Cause it's New Year's Day here on the border? Good morning, Houston. What the hell's going on? Hey, I got some beer in the truck.

[Michael]

Yeah, I dumped it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, go get it, will you, J.D.

[Michael]

Yes, he's kind of a Jewish New Yorker.

[John Clay Wolf]

[Michael]

Oh, yeah, he's a member of the tribe.

[John Clay Wolf]

800-800-7 2, 3. We had people calling in complaining about the content of our little program last Saturday. And I'd like to formally apologize to each and every one of you that were offended by anything I said when I wasn't here, because it was a replay. Did you take Best of Bad Things or something?

[Michael]

It was just, it was car.

[John Clay Wolf]

It was a car show.

[Michael]

You just. You never know with you, you know. I didn't listen to it all the way through.

[John Clay Wolf]

Chicarello said the phone was Just blowing up with people. Offended. No, it wasn't. What the hell was I saying? So bad. Just having fun.

[Michael]

Yeah, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thank you, J.D. i got 18.

[Michael]

I'm good, man. No, it's 10 in the morning now, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

But the. But the Houston Texans are in the playoffs early.

[Casey]

I'll have one with you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, sure.

[Michael]

I guess if J.D.

[John Clay Wolf]

Drinks.

[Michael]

What I'll drink.

[Casey]

I've had seven years of sobriety. Enough's enough.

[John Clay Wolf]

We're quitting because the Texans are in the playoffs. Brandon Whedon is leading us to the promised land. Can you see the NFL films now? It was a cold January day and Brandon Whedon still sucked.

[Michael]

Hey, their defense against Kansas City, whose offense is really just kind of.

[John Clay Wolf]

You haven't seen suck until you see Brandon Whedon suck.

[Casey]

Geez.

[John Clay Wolf]

We'll be back after this came out. What's your time?

[Michael]

We got. Yeah, we have. We got plenty of time. Plenty of time to buy cars, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, let's buy some cars. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Give me year, make, model, miles. I'm assuming they're clean carfaxes unless you tell me otherwise. Okay, so. Examples of cars we've bought this week.

[Casey]

Examples of cars we bought this week.

[John Clay Wolf]

2010 Mercedes Benz 60,000 mile, E3. Whatever.

[Casey]

Nice car.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know what they're called. E3 hundreds, E350s sport package, White Cave, 19,000. God, I need a list.

[Casey]

How about the little BMW convertible downstairs? What's that, yours?

[Michael]

It's the 650. Yeah, that's the one we talked about at the beginning of the show.

[Casey]

Oh.

[John Clay Wolf]

2010 BMW 650 with 45, 000 miles. Gave 27,005.

[Casey]

Wow.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty.

[Michael]

Drives great.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Interiors are great shape.

[John Clay Wolf]

Bought a Rover, gave 28 grand for a. Oh, to like a 10 Rover with 60 on it.

[Michael]

Some Explorers, some Mazdas.

[Casey]

Buddy of mine's looking for something like a $5,000 car.

[Michael]

You only have like 30 of them.

[Casey]

Okay, good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he's got cash, hundred of them.

[Casey]

He's waiting to buy a house, blah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Blah, blah, blah blah.

[Casey]

So he wants to buy just a car to get him to there. So like a $5,000 Honda, Toyota, anything like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, here's what. We'll talk to your buddy. Yeah, if he has his money in his pocket, he does. And then he can meet Turley out on. On a dark Monday.

[Casey]

Dark and lonely.

[John Clay Wolf]

When he's getting a run ready for the auction.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he'll have his money in his pocket. He'll show it to Turley and that will be his instead of a bitter badge. We'll let him in with that. And then Turley will say, here's your options. Here's the list of cars that fit that price range. Go to town.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when. And he can actually price them right? Once the guy comes back. But there'll be zero customer service. We don't sell cars.

[Casey]

I understand you don't sell car. I told him that.

[John Clay Wolf]

We will do it when it's easy. I was thinking, Turley, if we put all of our, like if we had a list for the dealers and price all our cars like in a form on our site and then just put 1500 for retail, do you think the public would be offended?

[Casey]

I do, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think they would. Just. Okay, so like the posted price is 40 grand, right?

[Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then if you want it and you're an individual, plus 1500.

[Casey]

I think people don't think that dealers make that much on it.

[Michael]

So that's what they're making.

[Casey]

Yeah, of course.

[John Clay Wolf]

Minimum, they make more. Sure.

[Casey]

And I told him that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And when they said, why would you charge me 1500 more than what you charge a dealer? And I was like, because I have to talk to you.

[Casey]

There you go. There you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

Like Charlie, I don't pay for sex. I pay him to leave.

[Casey]

I love it. Exactly the same.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's exactly the same. Well, what do you think about this? And this and this, this and this. And then my wife and then her father in law. And then we're going to do this, but we're thinking about moving here.

[Michael]

You make my head hurt.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's plus 1500.

[Michael]

That's why, actually I enjoy going and buying cars because you don't have to do as much of the reverse side of selling it. You're still doing a little bit of selling.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but it's more of a commodity. Yeah, well, the whole dealer to dealer trades, a lot of commodity trading. And that's what we do. And that's what we open the door to the public, you guys, and let you in on. I don't let you in on the buy inside of the wholesale world, but I do let you in on the selling side of the wholesale world. And that's why we advertise we'll beat CarMax. Because we just will. I mean, we just will. If you bring us a CarMax offer, we're gonna beat it. Dealers out there that have carmax offers show up. You need to take a picture of that carmax offer, send it to givemetheven.com and we will beat it. Unless it's a fake. We had a fake the other day. Yeah.

[Michael]

Dealership got faked, and then we got faked by it. We didn't get faked.

[John Clay Wolf]

Here's the truth of what happened. We. He said 38 grand on this bins. You said we beat Carmax if Carmax.38 grain. Yeah, we'll beat it or match it, whatever. And then car shows up, and he's like, hey, do you have a picture? That offer letter. And it was a. It was fake, and it. Cause it was four grand too high. So. But this is a dealership we do a lot of business with, and we're like, dude, y' all need to wake up and don't be so stupid if you're gonna call us in the middle of night. I mean, if the car's four grand off the money, you know, say that. Well, they didn't understand the tax thing, how to. How to figure out if it's a fake. Anyway, we took the car, we bought it from the store, and they owe us four grand and just said, we'll make it up on the next, you know, 40 cars.

[Casey]

Catch you next time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Catch you on the next 40.

[Casey]

40 cars.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

100 bucks a rib.

[Casey]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is what we're doing. I said, I'll buy it, but I need 40. Okay. So that's what Chico's supposed to be today. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. But, yes, I'll buy your car. I'll buy it so fast, it'll make your head spin. And I'll put it right on the money. I'll beat any carmax offer. If I don't beat a carmax offer, I will send you a check for a hundred dollars. And there are some instances when we. The other day, carmax sold a guy car.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

He comes back four months later.

[Casey]

Four months?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. And goes to. Gets them to appraise it.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And they hit it real hard.

[Casey]

Second time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Too hard. Well, okay. No, no. He's. He bought it from.

[Casey]

Bought it from them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then he's going to sell it back to them.

[Casey]

Too hard.

[John Clay Wolf]

So they hit. They have some deal in their system where if you're, like, within 12 months or eight months, then they're going to overbid your car. They're going to overpay because your customer they just sold to.

[Casey]

Okay. Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's. I was like, why the hell Are they hitting this at 17? If it's 14 grand, car. And I mean, I understand them hitting it at 14, and we get 14 5, but not that big a difference.

[Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

And then we pulled up the title history on it, and they just bought it from there. That's why it's like, give the guy 100 bucks. It's cheaper for me to give the guy $100 and let him go than to wrestle with that one.

[Caller]

So.

[John Clay Wolf]

So there's some instances like that. Or the CarMax buys green, he makes $25,000 a year.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And he just screws up.

[Casey]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, yeah. He just makes mistakes. And we let them.

[Casey]

In that case, they get 100.

[John Clay Wolf]

I send the customer 100.

[Casey]

No questions.

[John Clay Wolf]

No questions asked. I want to see a picture of the CarMax offer letter. And if I don't beat it and it's current within a couple weeks old, I'm going to send you real. I'm going to. Yeah. And real. I'm going to send you a 100 check.

[Caller]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

So however you slice it, you're going to make a hundred dollars minimum by jacking with us. If you're a seller. If you're just goofing around.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Then different. The. The only caveat is you must be real. So they're 14 grand, and we're 14 two. I give you 14 two. You're like, well, I'm just gonna keep it. Come 100. No, no. Www.yourmoron.com. no, no.

[Casey]

He's wasting everybody's time.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. But anyway, Happy New year. Happy New Year. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[Casey]

Radio.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love this tune. General Motors is doing a deal with Uber. That's very smart.

[Casey]

What are they doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

They're renting. Leasing Uber drivers. Brand new GM stock for a special rate.

[Michael]

Really?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yep. To get passengers in GM cars.

[Casey]

Now, wait a minute. Okay, that makes sense. How do you. Because the Uber driver can come and go as they please. How do you.

[Michael]

How's the insurance and all that work?

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know. What do I look like, a mathematician brought it up? Just telling you the concept. I like it. So I'm an Uber driver. They're doing a special lease rate for Uber drivers.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're not giving them the car.

[Casey]

I understand. They just giving.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're giving them a deal.

[Casey]

But you can call yourself an Uber.

[Michael]

Oh, you're saying there you could buy it from. Lease it from the GM from General.

[John Clay Wolf]

Motors, special deal, and get a special Uber rate. Because how can you.

[Michael]

Well, anyway, I Don't know how you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Prove that, but I don't know. I'm sure they figured out a way. Yeah, how do you know? A Carmax bit. She's fake. There's ways. There's ways. And I'm sure General Motors figure out how to know if you're real over Uber. Slap a GPS up your ass. I don't. Yeah.

[Casey]

All right. Anybody buying Powerball tickets for tonight?

[Michael]

Got one in my pocket right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I got Powerballs.

[Casey]

No, I don't want to hear. John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey.

[Casey]

Okay, so what happens, Michael, if you win?

[John Clay Wolf]

Texas goes John, you are so screwed.

[Michael]

What happens?

[Casey]

Do you quit?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you.

[Michael]

I don't think anybody would know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you do the group thing?

[Michael]

No, just went in.

[John Clay Wolf]

No one would know you'd keep it under you? Go ahead, Alexis. Isf. First thing you do, what's the very.

[Michael]

That might give it away?

[Casey]

Besides pass out and all those silly jokes? What's really honestly the first thing you buy?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd spend it on hookers and cocaine. Did you see?

[Michael]

That's what I was gonna play. Dang it. You beat me to the punch. You set me up.

[Casey]

This is live television.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, were you setting him up?

[Casey]

No, I was trying to get that way. Go that way.

[John Clay Wolf]

You were fluffing him.

[Casey]

Fluffing him.

[John Clay Wolf]

Honey, hang on. It'll get there in a minute.

[Casey]

And our top 10 list happens to be the top 10 things you should not buy with your new $800 million lottery winning.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, actually, it's time for that, isn't it? Not. Oh, yeah.

Okay, well, here's some top 10 things you might not want to buy with your $800 million lottery ticket. By the way, we know you only go home with, like, $300 million. Okay, here's some top 10 things you don't want to buy with it. Number 10, Volkswagen stock. Number nine, Kansas City playoff tickets. Because after today, they're going back to KC town. 335. Number eight, Hillary Clinton presidential victory party tickets. Number seven, Jeb Bush yard signs. These are the top ten things you don't want to buy with your lottery ticket winnings.

And the number one thing you don't want to buy with your new $800 million Dallas Cowboy playoff tickets ever. Casey wasn't doing well over the holidays. Sorry.

[Michael]

You know, a lot of people actually do buy lotto tickets after they win.

[Casey]

Do they really?

[Michael]

Hollywood Henderson.

[Casey]

Oh, that's right.

[Michael]

Famous Cowboy did that. And he won twice.

[Casey]

Won twice.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Casey]

You know, he was broke too at one point. Well, yeah, he was tending bar after being a Dallas Cowboy, he was bad. Tending bar for eight bucks an hour or whatever it was.

[Michael]

Or you can have a boyfriend that's a crackhead drug dealer. That this. You see the story of the girl, she wins a lotto and then she keeps bailing him out.

[Casey]

Bail the boyfriend. Most people say. They state there was a show on called the. There's a TV show called the Lottery. Ruined my life. And it showed all these people and what. And the average is five years. No matter what the value of the lottery ticket is.5 years from winning to broke or dead. And actually I had a friend, I personally had a friend that won $24 million in the Texas lottery. And within five years he was dead. He drank himself into.

[Michael]

Did he eat like really bad too? Or do you think his party.

[Casey]

He partied a lot. In fact, I'll give you a really brief version. They found him on his boat. He 50 foot yacht he had in Florida. And they partied it up, him and his buddies. And they found him on his yard. He was jaundice and his liver was shutting down. Doctor got him. They were. They revived him. They said, you can do anything else for the rest of your life, but don't drink. Two years later he drank again and he died.

[John Clay Wolf]

He died like six months later.

[Casey]

When some time he started to drink, his liver shut down.

[John Clay Wolf]

All your friends are dying.

[Casey]

I noticed that. It must be me.

[Michael]

Well, you stopped drinking. You're still around.

[Casey]

See, I'm still here.

[John Clay Wolf]

There you go.

[Casey]

Still here.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, now I'm looking at this 18 pack of Miller's Life.

[Casey]

Just open it. Have a good time. Come on. Life is short.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I'd like to do that. But I'm looking and now I'm thinking about the aftermath. What do I do?

[Michael]

You're gonna be tired. You're not gonna get home. And you fall asleep here on the couch.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, right.

[Casey]

Come on, have one.

[John Clay Wolf]

Curly seen me do it. If you drink in the morning, yes. You're an alcoholic? Well, no. Then you don't have any.

[Michael]

Where.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's the next term? Where are we going with this?

[Michael]

You gotta. You gotta go full blast. If you're drinking in the morning, you're.

[John Clay Wolf]

Going play party music. Give me party music.

[Casey]

Okay.

[Michael]

I mean, you're. That's. That's New Orleans style.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need hip hop.

[Casey]

I'll go put this away.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I don't. I'm gonna keep looking at it.

[Casey]

Let me take it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm thinking.

[Casey]

I know you are.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's nice and cold from being nice and cold. Yeah. In the car last night.

[Michael]

Is that your ice chest in the back?

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it?

[Michael]

That's. That the redneck way.

[Casey]

I have one with you. Come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeti. My Ford Yeti.

[Casey]

You see this on screen? Speaking of the Powerball here, this is. I'm gonna admit, this is from Facebook. How to read your losing Powerball ticket. The number 13. The number of car payments you still have to make. Number 28. The number of years you'll have to continue working at your awful job. Number 38. The number of major life mistakes you've made to lead to the near impossible lotto winning being your only hope. Number 51. How many dollars you presently have in your checking account. Number 53. How many times you stood in front of your bathroom mirror rehearsing, telling your co workers to kiss your ass. And number 18. The number of times you'll recheck this ticket before accepting. You never did have a chance.

[Michael]

You want to hear that audio clip? We talked about it.

[Casey]

Yeah. So this is live tv. The lady walks up and goes, oh, are you very excited? And the guy goes, yeah, I'm excited. You know, your odds are. And she reads off the odds. And then he says. And then she asks, can I ask you, if you won all the money.

[John Clay Wolf]

What would you do with it? Bunch of hookers and cocaine. Oh, okay. That's not good. We were hoping for a different answer.

[Michael]

A bunch of hookers and cocaine.

[Casey]

Okay, live tv. I feel really stupid now. Thanks for talking to me, though.

[Michael]

Awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

That would be a lot. Yeah, it would be.

[Casey]

Yeah.

[Michael]

I mean, the amount of money, it's 489. The cash payout.

[Casey]

Okay.

[Michael]

You know, I've been counting. I've been thinking about it all.

[Casey]

By the time you take it all out in taxes and everything, I think you go home with 250. Okay, 250 million. 300 million. That's still a lot of money, John.

[Michael]

Somebody wins.

[John Clay Wolf]

What would you do if I Win the lottery.

[Casey]

Would you invest it in the business and continue? Or would you just retire and go away?

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, no, I'd finish what we were talking about.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'd go ahead and pump it on up, knock it on out.

[Michael]

That's a. That's a feather in the cap right there. I mean, it's accomplishment. Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah.

[Casey]

Would you tell everyone or would you just simply keep it under the. Under the wraps and then I would like to.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would like to keep a lid on it like I earned it, but there's no way because people don't. I would start feeling guilty about, like when I. When. When I bought a jet airplane. And immediately, immediately, it's nobody's business what's.

[Casey]

In your bank account. Why do you feel the need to tell everyone? Why don't you just say somebody goes, well, John, where'd you get the money for this? Yet I made business is good. Or the other answer, which is true, I made some good investments. That is a true statement.

[Michael]

True.

[Casey]

You're not lying.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm a drug dealer and I'll kill you.

[Casey]

Yeah. Why don't you ask me again and I'll kill you and your family. Go ahead, ask me again.

[John Clay Wolf]

Be right back. Is black I see my red door I must have it into black maybe then I'll fade away. I have to face the facts.

[Caller]

It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.

You just gave a hundred. I'm gonna hit you at 75.

[Casey]

Right.

[John Clay Wolf]

You're not gonna be happy like me. The I. I like cars that make people happy. Right. And that's the ones that. Where they get more than they thought they had coming.

[Michael]

[John Clay Wolf]

130 and back. 140 and back. The new body style Tahoes and Suburbans. 07s and up.

[Casey]

[John Clay Wolf]

Old body style Escalades. Yes. Old body style Escalade trucks. Avalanches. Yes. That. That's what on is on my brain. Is. Is category cars that I know I can overpay for, and everybody likes me. I like cars to make friends.

[Casey]

I got you. I saw these cool Mustangs.

[John Clay Wolf]

When you call me with a car that, you know, I mean, what would we buy that. That M6. A15. M6. Oh, God. We beat Texas direct by grand. We beat CarMax by four grand. We beat the BMW dealer by grand.

[Michael]

And it's like 70 grand.

[John Clay Wolf]

The guy was still bitching. Really? Of course.

[Casey]

Why?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because he just gave 120 worth 70 grand?

[Casey]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, I mean, you're still an Al. Even though you're outbid everybody, you're still a jerk. Oh, you're stealing it. You're stealing. You know what? Every time somebody tells me I'm stealing one, I lose money. And I hate y' all that tell you, oh, you're stealing it. Actually, I'm inclined to the next person that says that. You know what? You're right. Here you go.

[Casey]

Have it back.

[John Clay Wolf]

Because when they say I'm stealing it, I mean, nine times out of ten I take a hit.

[Michael]

Yeah, something's wrong.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, give it back.

[Casey]

You're stealing it.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right, Brady. I mean, he keeps saying, like, when he's on the road, me, you stole that one. I'm like, you shut up. Because you don't know what you're talking about. Right. You told me I stole that Escalade. I still got that damn thing. Did you take it to San Antonio?

[Michael]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That drives.

[Michael]

No, he's sold, I think. You sold it, didn't you?

[John Clay Wolf]

This week? Yeah, Two dimes.

[Michael]

Oh, yeah. You lost money on it?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it was.

[Michael]

There was nothing wrong with that thing.

[John Clay Wolf]

When I bought it. You know, Brady looked at me, how much? Stole? How much stole? That's why I lost my $2,000 in that damn Denali truck. The white one that ran three times, never had any money, and I finally punted it last week when I. As soon as the hammer dropped, he looked at me, he goes, you stole that one. I'm like, yeah.

[Michael]

He also said, you stole that. There was a Toyota. Bronze Toyota Tundra or something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

This is steel. This is steel. Y' all need to shut up. I don't if he's listening right. He's. He's a great guy.

[Michael]

He's young.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got a good feel for the market. But that is the kiss of death when somebody tells me I stole something.

[Casey]

So shush.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would rather overpay for the right car than steal the wrong car. In your eyes, all that let me all day long, 800 bavettes. We're coming into that season. Sports cars are heating up. Mustangs are coming back.

[Casey]

Ask you about Mustangs. I saw a new guy's, a beautiful black GT Mustang. Must be brand new. When you buy a car like that these days, does it hold more value when. If you have a sticker auto. Automatic. Automatic, yeah. Okay, so it's.

[John Clay Wolf]

The resale is higher now.

[Michael]

If it's a Shelby though, a GT500.

[John Clay Wolf]

We had a Hellcat the other day. So I give. Gimme the VIN, comes in givemetheven.com we hit him at 63 or 64. Say it was 64.

[Michael]

I think it's 4.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it was 4. 200 mile hellcat. You know what the guy said when I bought it? You stole it. You stole it. Green, bright green.

[Michael]

I mean it's all the good things.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hundred miles. It was playing.

[Michael]

John, how much money did you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so week one, right crowd. You know what it brought? 61. No big crowd though. Yeah. I get on the horn, start trying to lay it down to dealers. Oh, if it had an automatic, then I'd give 67.

[Casey]

Okay, cool stick.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, but it's a Hellcat. It's a race car, right. If it had a sunroof, I'd give it these line bastards always you have the wrong thing every time. Okay, so you're not going to get me out of it. What you take for it? 64 is what I gave. Oh, it had an automatic. I call my buddies at Texas direct. Oh, you know, if it had an automatic. Okay, all right, enough of you people. So I rerun it through my auction lane and it gets to 63 2, okay. And I punt that, okay, So I lost a dime. I lost a thousand people. We got overhead, brother people. I lost 1,500 on screwing that's car, okay, That I stole. Every time somebody tells me I stole something, I lose a thousand minimum.

[Casey]

I'm going to punch you in the face.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, I'm going to punch you in the face. If you tell me I stole. I'm going to punch you in the face or give it back. 800. 800. 7, 2, 3, 4.

[Casey]

I'll buy my automatic.

[John Clay Wolf]

Larry. Larry the cable guy.

[Caller]

Hey. Hey, how's it going?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not going to steal it. I'm going to pay for it.

[Caller]

I was listening to y' all on the air. I had seen in a give me the VIN thing on the website not long ago and I never got an answer back.

[Michael]

Android.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah. What kind of phone do you handle what? Did you push it with an Android phone? Yes. Yeah, that's the problem. That is the common denominator.

[Michael]

How many times have you.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many times I have to hear it for. To make. For me to do something about it? I call the programmers. Nope. Nope. Look at the history. Looked. Yes, I believe you. Okay, we got a 10 equinox with 70,000 miles. Is it leather or all leather? All leather. Is it navigation and. Or sunroof? Yeah.

[Caller]

Yep.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's an ltz.

[Caller]

Everything you can have on it.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's an ltz?

[Caller]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, what color?

[Caller]

Like a Marinish red color.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is an ltz. I'm betting it as an ltz. Okay. I just want to make sure because if it's an LT and not an ltz, it's worth less and I don't want you to tell me. Well, you said you were trying to steal it. I like it. Okay. If you went a while back and you've been thinking about selling this car that long, then you're ready to sell it, right?

[Caller]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

What will you take for it? Not what do you want for. We all want what we gave. What will you take for? What do you think? What were you expecting me to say? It'd be a top of the money wholesale offer that you'll take for it?

[Caller]

Well, I don't have any idea. That's what I was calling my wife's vehicle. She don't want to pay on it anymore. She wants a different vehicle.

[John Clay Wolf]

What does she owe?

[Caller]

I'm at Home Depot.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, mean, do you have a. Did you all call and get a bank path? Do you have an estimate?

[Caller]

Yeah, I don't even have any.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think it's a ten grand rig. All right, that's what I think. It's a 10 equinox, right? LTZ. Average MMR on it's 9400. I'm giving 10 grand. I don't know what else I could do. I mean, so put me down for 10 and go back to give. On the Give me the VIN page, if you click email jcw, that will go straight to my email and you.

[Caller]

Say, hey, John, he has Apple iPhone. So I'll just get it. I'll do it on her phone when I get home.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that's.

[Michael]

That's disappointing.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's disappointing. Thanks for letting us know our stuff's not working. All right.

[Caller]

800-800-7234 digit to connect your call.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio is the call in number. I mean, 50% of the devices are Android, aren't they?

[Michael]

I would say probably, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you think our. Our customer flow would double if we got it fixed?

[Michael]

I would say yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's a big number.

[Casey]

Yeah, that's a big number.

[John Clay Wolf]

You think we should just advertise more, just to get more iPhone people? Do you think iPhone people have more money than Android people? No, I do.

[Casey]

Do you really? I don't think so. I think a lot of people buy iPhones because they think it's cool. And then you get it and you go.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm gonna go with the demographic of an iPhone user has a. I bet the average cost car of an iPhone user is 3 grand higher than the average cost car of an Android user.

[Casey]

Might be an interesting.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I bet the Republican more on the iPhone than the Android.

[Casey]

Go the other way.

[Michael]

It's more liberal.

[Casey]

Liberal Democrat.

[John Clay Wolf]

N. See, that was Apple Computer. You're getting Apple Computer and Apple phones.

[Michael]

But most that are used Apple computers are also using iPhones. I mean, all of them.

[John Clay Wolf]

Everybody agreed. But that was a very small amount in the beginning.

[Casey]

Republicans make more money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes. Yeah. Because that. They're more into it. Well, that's why the Republican. That's why they're fighting taxes. That's the whole deal. It's not that the Republican. They're on the party that police charges less taxes on the money we make. Yeah, that's what it should be called, the police charges less taxes party.

[Michael]

I like that.

[Casey]

I like it. Come on.

[John Clay Wolf]

They probably believe in Democratic views more than they do Republican views, but they'll vote Republican because they don't want to pay. Gotcha. I will. That's me, anyway.

[Michael]

And I don't want to take my guns either. Don't take my guns.

[Casey]

Don't take my guns from it, buddy.

[John Clay Wolf]

This gun thing's getting a lot.

[Casey]

Here's ridiculous.

[Michael]

It's the a. I think Obama said it correct that he's the best thing for the NRA and best thing for gun.

[Casey]

Oh, I've said before. I put it on Facebook. Why didn't I buy a gun store? The minute he got elected, Jim Pruitt.

[John Clay Wolf]

Went out of business. This. Yeah. He closed her down.

[Casey]

I didn't know.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's guns and ammo. I don't mean, like, maybe business wasn't.

[Casey]

Well, he's also.

[John Clay Wolf]

That'd be a reason to go out of business.

[Casey]

Seven years old.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, maybe 63.

[Casey]

No, don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, please.

[Casey]

You're talking about. He was a. He was in his 50s 30 years ago.

[Michael]

Yeah, he was Pretty old. When we were talking years ago, we had him on there.

[Casey]

He's at the Eagle. When I was at the Eagle in Dallas, that's when he and Stevens improved. Were at the Eagle.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'll tell you one thing, he is as gone as his memory because he told me he'd take 25 grand to 35 grand for his GTO judge. And then he came back to me and told me 55 grand. Oh, wow, Jim. That's a big swing dog.

[Casey]

Jim's well into his 70s. He may just be retiring.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, he's damn sure he picked the.

[Casey]

Wrong time to retire from a gun store. I wish I bought it.

[Michael]

Or did he? Maybe somebody paid top money for that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Speaking of, do we have a gto? And I know I bought it. Did it go to auction or go to the office?

[Michael]

It's supposed scheduled for the auction. I've not seen it yet, but.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio.

[Casey]

Did he tell you he closed the store?

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

For sure.

[Casey]

All right. I'm just seeing. It's Jim Pruitt's. Oh, there it is. It's gone. You're right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mark. Good morning. 92-Z-1. Vet.

[Michael]

Ah, here's the vet.

[John Clay Wolf]

You there?

[Caller]

Correct. Yep. Go ahead.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many miles?

[Caller]

54,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long have you had it?

[Caller]

I've had it about six years.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, it's a 90. I thought the ZR1s were 91. It's 92.

[Caller]

They're from 90 to 95.

[John Clay Wolf]

They're all six speeds, right?

[Caller]

Excuse me?

[John Clay Wolf]

They're all stick shifts, right? All the zrs?

[Caller]

Yeah. Six speeds.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. I'm just. I'm glancing through a book to get a book value. I'm not finding it. And that's why I was wondering because it should be separate. It should be separate. There's a Vet and then a ZR one, and there's two different deals.

[Caller]

Correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

What do you want for this car?

[Caller]

I'm looking to get 15, 16. Somewhere in there.

[John Clay Wolf]

I need a VIN number because I'm not pulling it up. Right. So I'm gonna put you on hold and get the vin. Do you have the VIN number handy?

[Caller]

No, I don't. I'm driving my other vehicle right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

You sound like you're down by the bayou Dog. Where are you from? You're down there in bayou country, aren't you?

[Caller]

Yes. I mean, I live in Houston last 15 years, but I'm from what we call down the bayou.

[John Clay Wolf]

Which. Which city?

[Caller]

LaRose, Louisiana.

[John Clay Wolf]

I don't know where that is. Okay, I found a ZR1 in a 91. And if you go to 92, it goes away. That option goes away.

[Caller]

No, negative. It goes all the way to 94. Is the Z01 okay, now you're right.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now I see this. It's got 50 to 15. Hang on a second. How nice is this car on a scale of one to ten?

[Caller]

Oh, good. Eight.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, I think you want retail for it. I think I'm looking at a market report now. I think you want retail for it with 50. Not saying it's. It won't do that retail, but I can't give that making money. Okay, but I could.

[Caller]

What are you thinking?

[John Clay Wolf]

12 and a half.

[Caller]

That's how I figured 12, 14 wholesale. Do you have any C sevens like 2014, 2015 vets?

[John Clay Wolf]

I know where a Z06 is with 1800 miles. If you want to spend that much money, it's a 15.

[Caller]

No, no, I don't want to spend $75,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, how much you want to spend?

[Caller]

Oh, I'm thinking around 50.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, we'll work on it. I don't really sell cars to the public. I just buy. But, but go to givemetheven.com, take pictures of this car, push it up, Let me see how close to your figure I can get and then we'll. And I'll point you in the direction of a, of a. Of a new body.

[Caller]

Sound like a winner?

Here's a car I should make this guy happy with. William, are you a happy person?

[Caller]

I am happy. I'm very happy. I'm very blessed with what I have.

[John Clay Wolf]

Are you a realist? On, on an 05 Toyota Sequoia with not 50,000 miles, not a hundred thousand miles, but 154,000 miles?

[Caller]

Yeah, no, look, it's 154,000 miles with some. With some very good service done by, done by the Toyota dealership with all the maintenance, somebody. It's been a well maintained car. How that correlates to the value is the reason why I'm calling you today.

[John Clay Wolf]

Agreed. Okay. Is it a SR5 or limited SR5. Cloth or leather? Cloth. $5,500.

[Caller]

$5,500.

[Casey]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did I buy a Toyota Sequoia with 154,000 miles? It's been well maintained.

[Caller]

I think you probably did.

[Casey]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think I hit it harder than Joe Louis hit Muhammad Ali. I should. I mean, I'm supposed to get that car bought.

[Michael]

We're good.

[John Clay Wolf]

5,500. I could put you on hold and you can talk to one of my guys, or you can just go to the website and load the stuff in. Your decision.

[Caller]

I've already loaded this stuff in. You can see some. You can see a couple pictures there, but. Yeah, I do appreciate it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did they already send you an offer letter?

[Caller]

They did not. I. I just put it out there.

[Casey]

Okay. I'll just.

[John Clay Wolf]

Perfect.

[Caller]

If I can hear myself on the radio and.

[John Clay Wolf]

Perfect. They're lit. They're listening on the radio down in the buyer's office right now. So they know what we just talked about. I'm assuming it's a straight. Nice car as described. And we're good. We're solid. Thank you. 800, 800. 7, 2, 3, 4. Ian.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's got him a GTR. He's got him a Gtr.

[Casey]

Little GT.

[John Clay Wolf]

He's a rich hot rodder. These cars are expensive, dude. They're expensive. Okay, What. What hurts this car bad is vehicle history reports. Does it have any accident history on the carfax or auto check?

[Caller]

Nothing. It's a clean carfax.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. What color?

[Caller]

It's gray.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. You know these cars better than I. I know the market on them. But you know the options. What were the. Was it a 1 sticker price in 2012 or did they change? Were there options? Highs and lows.

[Caller]

There's a premium. A premium and a black edition.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. In which one do you have?

[Caller]

I have the premium.

[John Clay Wolf]

Why can I not find this in my. In my system here? Hang on. Because I gotta look it up. Ah, it's a GTR. It's a GTR. It's A G. It's a 2012 GTR and I cannot find it. I bought one the other day. It was a 14. Some hold music for you. Hang on. I'm gonna go to this other deal real quick. And look.

[Casey]

Thank you for calling the John Clay Wolf show. Your business is very important to us. Please stand by and one of our sales representatives will be right back with you. Thank you for calling. Your time is very important.

[Michael]

[e-mail] Hang the hell out. Millions of cars. Just snap two pictures.

[John Clay Wolf]

Four. Runner, Avalon, Camry, Corolla, FJ, Highlander, Matrix, Prius Rev 4. You sure it's a 2012?

[Caller]

Positive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, hang on. Okay. J.D. i think I just had a. I think I just had a moment of. Before you tell me how stupid I am, I just realized it, Ian. I think I just had a moment of showing my age. I've heard that when you get to 43, you start losing it. Just a bit.

[Casey]

I don't remember.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just lost it. I'm. I'm all over the Toyota brand. Yeah, this is not a Toyota. This is a Nissan. Oh, oops.

[Caller]

Oh, man.

[Casey]

Senior moment.

[John Clay Wolf]

A senior moment brought to you by.

[Casey]

The John Clay Wolf Show.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yeah, it's not a Toyota.

[Michael]

You've done this before, right, John?

[John Clay Wolf]

A couple times, yeah. Okay. Why. And that's also a function of being such a VIN whore.

[Michael]

Oh, yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

We've all such been wars that we forgot what we're even looking at. We're just giving the van, give me the van, give me the vin, and we take the vin, we dump it into our system and it tells us what it is, so we don't even have to know.

[Casey]

You're. You're reliant on the technology. It's like anyone knowing.

[John Clay Wolf]

Anybody's don't know what brand a GTR is, but I'm willing to make a good offer. That's what matters. That's sad.

[Michael]

I don't know what I'm buying, but I'll buy it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. That's ridiculous. Okay. How many miles? 22. And it's. It's great.

[Caller]

2,785. 50 grand.

[Michael]

Man, that's a lot of money.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does 50 work?

[Caller]

That's way too low.

[John Clay Wolf]

John, what's it take to buy?

[Caller]

Would probably take at least 60.

[John Clay Wolf]

See, in. The reason I started low on you is because these guys with these fancy ass cars, they're thinking is in the clouds always. And there's no way, no matter what I say is gonna make them happy out of the gate. So. Yeah. Did I hit you low out of the gate? I did. I'm guilty. I did. I gave you what I like to call a reaction figure. I throw out a figure, see how he does and I get a reaction. All right. It would take at least 60.

[Casey]

He scoffed.

[John Clay Wolf]

Least now, now he doesn't even want to take 60. Well, what. What do you.

[Caller]

What do you negotiate?

[Michael]

Is it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it your daily driver?

[Caller]

Yes, sir, currently.

[John Clay Wolf]

So if I bought this from you right now for 60, which I'm not. So you're in no threat. But what. What would you drive?

[Caller]

I would probably buy.

[John Clay Wolf]

You answer my question.

[Caller]

The daily driver for now, Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I mean, you don't have. You couldn't sell it to me today yet you're not ready to because this is your car to drive, right? You would have to drive this car to go get your new car.

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

So what's going to happen on this deals? You're going to trade this car in. No matter what I say, you're going to trade this car. And I tell you why is because you're going to get a tax credit on the trade in. And when you're jacking with $60,000 worth of tax credit, that's six and a quarter percent. So they've got a leg up on me. I'm a 58 buyer, is what I believe I am. And here's what I want you to do. When you get to the dealership and you start negotiating on trade and they hit you at 55 grand, and you can say, I got it sold to Wolf for more than that. And they say, how much is Wolf going to give? You just say, I'm not telling you. You tell me your best, best, best. And then you go to my website, click, email John and say, well, John, this is, you know, Ian from the radio, got this gtr. I got X amount offered. I can tell you if I can. But see, I got to beat it by more than that. What's going to happen here is I've got to buy it from that dealership for you because so you can get your tax credit. Make sense?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Michael]

So go to give me the vin.com.

[John Clay Wolf]

So go ahead. You're going to get close to your number. You're going to get there with your tax credit for sure. So start your deal and then bring me into the deal after you get into the deal. Does that make sense?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go.

[Caller]

That's kind of why I was calling you.

[John Clay Wolf]

Go, go get them. Go get them. You're on the right mark there.

[Michael]

All right.

[John Clay Wolf]

8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. Foo Fighters right here on the ESPN rocker. Oh, I'm tired.

[Casey]

Taking a break. Hey, did you hear about the Houston car salesman that got kidnapped during a test drive?

[John Clay Wolf]

Did. And that is a very good story. We're going to get that on the flip side. That's a good one. All right, we'll be right back. My name is John Clay Wolf. Forgive me. The vin.
