Main Theme & Purpose

This episode is a lively, loosely structured show with heavy caller participation – a “wing it day” as John puts it. Topics range from used car valuations, car buying advice, caller stories, and classic rock tributes, especially to The Eagles and Glenn Frey, mixing in John’s signature irreverent humor and candid advice throughout. The show operates as both automotive entertainment and a real-time car buying/consulting platform, sprinkled with music and banter.

Key Discussion Points & Highlights

1. Show Updates & Format Changes

• John opens with some light banter and notes upcoming changes:
  • Debbie to appear next week.
  • A new network show format coming mid-February (01:55).
• JD is out, relaxing on a boat.

2. Caller-Driven "Beater Car" Valuations

Much of today’s show centers around callers presenting their used vehicles (“beaters”) for sale with John giving on-the-spot candid appraisals, often with humor and market insights.

a. 2006 Kia Optima (03:36)

• Caller: Charles
• Deal: John offers $50, explaining the math of why buying low-value cars often means losing money:

  “When we grab a hold of one like yours, I’m immediately $200 in the ditch...” (04:29)

b. 2007 GMC Canyon SLE Crew Cab (06:23)

• Caller: Justin, recently laid-off petroleum landman.
• Appraisal: $18,000–$20,000 range, pending photos/submission online.
• Empathy for Tough Times:

  “Well, I don’t think you need anything about upgrading right now. The red lights are going off. You’re in downshift mode.” (08:55)

c. 1962 Chevy Impala Lowrider (18:02)

• Caller: Jose from Louisiana
• Describes building a custom lowrider; asking $37,000.
• John’s scrutiny:

  “Jose from Louisiana, I think that you are a counterfeit Mexican... any real Mexican that took the time to do what you said to this car would know what year the fins are.” (20:07)

• Ends in good humor.

d. 2006 Honda Civic, GMC Sonoma (Beater love match)

• Various callers (28:41–33:21) seek quick offers on aged vehicles.
• Playful moment as John suggests connecting a caller looking for a bigger car with another trying to sell a Kia, calling it a "beater love connection."

e. 2013 Audi A4 Premium Plus (33:21)

• Caller: Jonathan
• Offers $18,500, possibly up to $20,000 if condition matches description. Emphasis on color impacting resale (“silver’s cooling off a little bit in these luxury cars”). (34:58)

f. Several more valuations run through – from a 2005 VW Touareg to a 2015 Toyota Tacoma and a 2010 F-150 – John discusses each quickly, offering appraisals and encouraging listeners to submit VINs/photos at GiveMeTheVIN.com to finalize deals.

3. Music & Eagles Tribute

a. Eagles-Inspired Segments (Throughout)

• Repeated playing of Eagles and classic rock tracks, acting as bumpers and in-memorial tributes to Glenn Frey:

  “You think we should just let all these go long today as our memorial tribute?... The Eagles making love song music. I never think of that. It’s really just chill.” (12:35)

b. Nostalgia & Parental Memories (12:35–15:00)

• John and Turley reminisce about childhood exposure to music, parents’ tastes, and early DJ play-acting.

c. Bob Seger’s “Fire Lake” – Eagles Connection (17:34)

• John educates listeners about the Eagles’ uncredited background vocals on Seger’s “Fire Lake”:

  “At the end of Bob Seger’s Fire Lake, it’s Eagles singing together… you’ll be like, oh my God, that is the Eagles.” (17:34)

• Plays the song (58:42–60:11 segment).

d. Winslow, Arizona & Statues (27:39)

• Explains the significance and backstory of the “Standing on a Corner” statue:

  “That statue is actually of Jackson Browne, not Glenn Frey… Jackson’s getting a lot of love this week too, which is fine.” (27:39)

---

4. Advice and Banter

a. Car-Buying / Negotiation Wisdom (43:31–50:19)

• Super Dave asks: advice for buying a used car, after years of loyalty to the Toyota Camry.
• John’s Advice:
  • Avoid paying extra at Carmax if you can help it, but they do offer peace of mind.
  • Last day of the month at large dealerships is best for negotiation.
  • Alternatives to Camry: Hyundai (reluctantly praises), Honda Accord (though Camry transmissions last longer), Toyota Avalon, Infiniti, and used BMW 5-Series for best value.

  “If you walk in there on the last day of the month, you’re gonna save yourself about a thousand dollars if you have the stomach to hold in there and negotiate hard.” (48:16)

b. On Matching Buyers and Sellers

• In multiple segments, John encourages listeners to leverage the show’s audience for peer-to-peer deals, creating a light-hearted “beater love connection.” (32:21)

c. Humor about Car Culture & Listeners

• Playful commentary on what defines a “real Mexican” car enthusiast, making and taking jokes well with callers.
• Laughs about listeners’ and hosts’ upbringings, music, and cars, maintaining a relaxed and inclusive environment.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Used Car Economics:

  “If I gave you 500 for it and it brings 300, then all of a sudden a $300 car turns into a net $700 loss. It’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.” (04:46 – John on low-value trade-ins)

• On Laid-Off Oil Workers:

  “You make some money and you can sit around and do nothing too. It’s both ways. The hustlers make it and the other guys don’t.” (09:41)

• On Beaters and Dating:

  “Here’s what Chase has proven that is exciting. You can get laid and drive a beater.” (31:26)

• On Parental Influence and The Eagles:

  “My earliest Eagles memories are about six and I’m holding… I remember playing this on my plastic Disney-ish record player.” (14:45)

• Show inside joke:

  “You guys are sounding awesome. You’ve already got the line of the day out though, John. I don’t know what you’re gonna do till noon.” (22:14, Bobbo calls in)

It'd almost be like a mail delivery truck. Yeah. That's converted to a conversion van and it's a Mexican love machine. Mexican love machine. It is. It's amazing. It's the closest thing to a mini bubble van I've seen. Bubble window van with the bubble heart in the back that I've seen since a bad movie, 1977. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234, 800800 radio.

On a boat, right. I'm on a chillin. What a play. I'm on a boat by the lonely island for jd. I gotta find the clean version. That's a good song. It is very good. I don't have a lot today. I don't want to be disappointing. I'm going to be more caller driven today. So if you want to have, if you want to call in and talk about, you know, longtime listeners, I run into you guys all the time. Been listening to your show for five years. Been listening every Saturday. If you guys ever want to talk to me about X, Y or Z, take today. Be a good day because I have time. And we're fixing to change some things in the show format. So this is kind of a wing it day. Debbie's gonna be on next week, next Saturday. She couldn't make it today because JD's off today. Tomorrow, today, next week. Yeah. The new network show I think is gonna start around mid February and we'll talk about all that when it's time. Things will be pretty much the same. Just a little bit different times when brakes go and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's about it. Yeah, yeah. We'll see how it goes. It's exciting. I've got some exciting news on the horizon that we've been working on for a long time and very exciting bit, big moves. 8008-0072-3480-0807. 234. 800, 800 radio. Was green hair the screener late this morning? Couple minutes. Oh well, yeah. Is her hair dye, Is it wearing down a little bit? It looks like it's fading. Yeah. And maybe the pregnancy thing. Oh yeah. She's knocked up like a. Like a prom queen with green hair. Can you imagine when she's born if the hair is still green and her daughter's 30 and looks back at the born pictures and said mom, did you notice that you had green hair when I was born? I just pointed that out because at that time I can tell you it won't be cool anymore. Or maybe it'll be cool again by then. Oh wow. See this is a Mexican love machine. Oh, what is it? Our first beater of the day. All right. 06 Kia Optima with 160. Charles, tell me you don't owe any money on it, please.

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, no. It's paid off.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh good. Do you drive it every day?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah. I just bought a new car. I've been. Been wanting to sell it myself but I've been a little lazy. So I was driving around with you guys, thought I'd give you a call.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think if I gave you 300 for it, I would give you the three. If I had to buy it, I think I'd give you 300 for it and I'd ask you to keep the car in the 300 so that I could just get out of the deal.

[Caller/Guest]

Let me look what you guys would say.

[John Clay Wolf]

Let me look it up real quick. I want to make sure some of these junk cars do have a funky market. That makes sense. But just most of the time when I buy 500 cars, if they're not full size trucks, I lose money with them when they're, you know, 10 year old Kia with 160 or an 01 Lincoln LS. Yeah, we didn't need to buy that car with 170,000 miles. What do we get for it? 300, I believe. Right. And what did it bring at the auction last week? Nothing. No bids. Yeah, See when we grab a hold of one Charles, like if we grab yours then we're. I mean I'm immediately $200 in the ditch because I send the transporter to your house to pick it up and then I'm another hundred in the ditch because I've got a rep that handles all your stuff, you know. He, he calls you and lines up the deal and does all the paperwork and he gets 100. So now I'm 300 down. And then I don't know anybody that wants this thing. So I'm forced to auction sell it. And I've got to pay them 150 to sell it. So now I'm 450 down. And if I gave you 500 for it and it brings 300, then all of a sudden a $300 car turns into a net $700 loss. It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, no, it doesn't sound like a very good deal for you guys.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a four cylinder or a six?

[Caller/Guest]

It's a six cylinder.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it leather or cloth?

[Caller/Guest]

Cloth.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

I want to look at MMR on this car just for fun. So nine, Turley. They're supposedly bringing between 600 and 1100. Like the best one in the world is 1100. Yeah, yeah. The moonshot is 1100. So what would you take for it?

[Caller/Guest]

You know, the dealer offered, offered me 500 for it. I figured I could probably if I make the efforts to try to sell it myself for a thousand. So I don't think you guys are probably where I'm. Where I'm hoping to get.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, just for the record, because I need to bid every car, I'll give $50. 8008-072348-00800. 800 radio. Just a good morning. GMC Canyon. I like this car.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, John.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you calling from?

[Caller/Guest]

Baytown.

[John Clay Wolf]

Baytown. Are you in the business? Are you. Are you to tell me about yourself?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I'm a former petroleum landman.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Caller/Guest]

To do something else.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did. Did you get laid off?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Saw slumber J cut 10,000 more jobs yesterday.

[Caller/Guest]

Not good.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now, how long you've been laid off?

[Caller/Guest]

Since December.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sorry about that. On this canyon, is it a tool drive or four wheel drive?

[Caller/Guest]

Four wheel drive.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a five cylinder or a four cylinder?

[Caller/Guest]

It is a 5.3 V8.

[John Clay Wolf]

Got it. Okay, now I know which one you've got. So is it a sle, SLT crew cab or extended cab?

[Caller/Guest]

It's an SLE crew cab.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Does it have leather?

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. Lifted or stock?

[Caller/Guest]

I have a 2 inch leveling kit and then I have some custom black rims. And I got 265 BF Goodry Monterey.

[John Clay Wolf]

Looks good. Yeah, sounds pretty factory. Navigation or anything?

[Caller/Guest]

No, pretty plain on the SS. Just power windows, power doors.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Four wheel drive. Is it got the Z71 sticker on it.

[Caller/Guest]

No, it doesn't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. I think it's an 18 grand rig.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay. I only have 28,000 miles on it. I didn't say that.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, I got that. I saw that on the, on the board. What's your payoff?

[Caller/Guest]

About 20?

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm not. These things are tricky because there's not a lot of them that are in this price range. I mean, that's a very not low produced car. Go to givemetheven.com givemetheven.com Put in your VIN number and push a couple of pictures. Let me see if I can get closer to the 20. If I bought it from you today. Do you have something to drive?

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you need to trade it.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I was kind of just looking to see what I could get possibly for it and then maybe hopefully if I get a new job soon, upgrade.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I don't think you need anything about upgrading right now. You're. The red, the red lights are going off. I mean, you're in. You're in downshift mode.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I just, I went through two interviews now. I got a third one in person on Monday. So hopefully if that goes good, then maybe I'll consider it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Well, I hear you. Okay. So you're not full? You're not panicking yet?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no. Never panic.

[John Clay Wolf]

How old are you?

[Caller/Guest]

32.

[John Clay Wolf]

How long have you had that gig that you just left?

[Caller/Guest]

Since I was 24.

[John Clay Wolf]

Gotcha. What was your. Landman. So you're going out and rattling up leases?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, mostly just running title and started off doing leases, but got into running title. And you know, they're not drilling a lot of new wells right now, so they don't really need me.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. My cousin was into that. And you know, you make some money and you can sit around and do nothing too. It's both ways. The hustle. The hustlers make it and the other guys don't. Well, let me know. Justin. Thank you. 8008-0072-3480-0800- radio. Remember our website to get a bit on your cars? Give me the vin. VIN Vehicle identification number. Dot com. Give me the vin dot com.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

There's talk on the street it sounds so familiar. Great expectations.

[John Clay Wolf]

You think we should just let all these go long today as our memorial tribute? I mean, we take up half the show. Well, we did it with the Eagles. I mean, the Hotel California. Some gal just wrote Best show start ever. She appreciated it. I mean, the Eagles making love song music. I never think of that. It's really just chill. I mean, there's a couple songs you can. I went through kind of like when I think back of the. What's your earliest memories of Eagles music? My parents, because they were big fans. Hotel California, that album. I still have it. So what age are you talking? Oh, gosh, it was 84. So I was like, what was I. I don't know. Turley, it's you, not me. Six years old. Yeah. Five years old. So did you care or was it just on the background? It was just background and there was incense burning, so I didn't quite put it all together till I was older. Were your parents stoners? Sounds like it early. Yeah. Before. Once we were around, they got. They got really chill and they still had incense. Is that what. Is that a good way to say I'm stoners? I'm really chill? Yeah. No, no, they stopped when we were around.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

No, no, I think they just still had the kicking on them, though. Yeah, they still had the. That. The living room of the Turley household. Incense burning, new kid in town on everybody's baked. Including the meatloaf I did as a kid. I remember a lot of just really chill and hairy faced, you know, guys around, and it just. They all look like the Eagles pretty much. It was just. I thought that was where you dress back then. I just thought, okay. Everybody's like, so, like, Brittany's kids will, like, think of the Offspring. She'll be playing the Offspring. Yeah. Because punk rock. Yeah, that's Got green hair. Okay, well, my earliest Eagle memories are about six and I'm holding. I remember playing this on my plastic Disney ish record player. Yeah, I remember those. And looking at the album covers and thinking of like the part of Hotel California talking about the Beast. I never understood that. I thought. And I would compare that in my brain. I was about six to the big snow monster in Rudolph Rednew's reindeer story. I was like, what's he doing in this song? So I was kind of stoned in my own right. I just wasn't smoking any weed. It put you there? It put me there. But yeah, I mean definitely studying in the. The Eagles album when they're in the middle of the desert. I forgot the name of that. I think it's just self titled LP1 with the desert in the fire and the. In the cactus behind them. It's an old Eagles LP cover. I was so young. I don't remember which albums I had in my hand. Definitely remember Hotel California and thinking about that monster in the song and not understand what was going on. And then I had the eight. The cassette player set up and an eight track player set up and like I stole my mom's vinyl and my brother's eight tracks, my dad's eight tracks. And I had a. So I had a crappy Disney LP player record player. And then the robot that had an eight track in the bottom of it. I don't know if you remember that thing. No, it was brown, it had robot eyes. Was just an eight track player, but it was a weird one. And then a cassette player and I microphone plugged in the cassette player and I had three sets of headphones and I'd jump from. I would play dj. Yeah, is where this is going. Yeah, I would play DJ and I'd, you know, after that song was over, then we'd play the next one off the cassette deal. And then I'd talk into the mic like I was rolling into that song because I listened to John Rhodey and those guys on the zoo in Dallas for worth at when I was a little kid. So you had more. Your parents had more money? All we had was a. Your parents had more money because all we had was a. All we had was like a boombox. And I would use the cassette player and we would record and sometimes play back. And like you can push record and play at the same time, right for playback. That's what I'm talking about. I had a cassette player like that, but I didn't have a microphone. I didn't have. But my microphone wasn't plugged into anything. Okay. Oh, okay. I thought you liked. It's not like I had a Harris soundboard in my room. Say, man, it sounded like you were loaded up, ready to go. I was make believe in, man. Okay, Okay. I had a junk ass plastic. And I remember we had to go down and get a new needle from a record player. Yeah, I listened to the Eagles a lot. And Bob Seeger was kicking it back then. And I didn't know until the history of the Eagles that that Glenn Frey, a big inspiration. Glenn Frey was Bob Seger and he was part of his band before he met Don Henley.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

Ah.

[John Clay Wolf]

And that, you know, we need to play that. I don't know if you've got it queued up for today. Fire Lake, I can dig that up. Because. Because at the end of Bob Seger's Fire Lake is eagles singing together. Who wants to go to Fire Lake? And you can hear it just clear as a bell. If you didn't know that already, when you hear it, you'll be like, oh, my God, that is the Eagles. But Fire Lake is Bob Seger song. Who wants to go to Fire Lake? But when you listen to the chorus, it's absolute. Eagles.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got a lot to say about the Eagles. Actually, maybe I do have more than I thought. Talk about today. Okay. I have no idea what this is. This is worth, but I. I want to talk to a man named Jose with a 1962 Impala lowrider. Oh, yeah. Good morning, Jose.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, good morning. How you doing?

[John Clay Wolf]

Good, good, good, good, good. Tell me about your slam ride.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, first of all, I like to say it's a love machine, okay?

[John Clay Wolf]

Even impregnated. Have you impregnated a few Latinas in the. In the floorboard of this thing?

[Caller/Guest]

You know, I'm trying to sell it. I'd rather not see.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. All right.

[Caller/Guest]

But yes, it's a Chevy impala. It's a 409 SS lowrider. It's straight black.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you buy it? Did you buy it done or did you do it yourself?

[Caller/Guest]

No, I did everything myself.

[John Clay Wolf]

What'd you do?

[Caller/Guest]

I put custom wheels. I got the air technology on it with the blower and everything. You know, the car production system. Drives like a dream.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it jump?

[Caller/Guest]

I rebuilt the whole thing myself.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it hop?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, yes, yes. I got switches.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got switches.

[Caller/Guest]

I got switches, I got switches.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, what do you want for it?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm asking 37,000 for it.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, that's a little out of My price range at this time, but.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, it's a 62 and it's all custom.

[John Clay Wolf]

What year were the fins on the Impala? The. The trunk fins. The Cadillac looking trunk fins. That's the Impala that's worth all the money is the one with the factory side fins. And I don't know what I forgot. I think it's a 64. No, six. Four is NWA impala. Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does yours have the fins or do you know?

[Caller/Guest]

No, I don't have the fins.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. What year has the fins?

[Caller/Guest]

I really couldn't tell you right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Jose from Louisiana, I think that you are a counterfeit Mexican.

[Caller/Guest]

Why do you say this?

[John Clay Wolf]

Because any real Mexican that took the time to do what you said you were gonna do or did do to this car would know what year the fins on the Chevy Impala were. I just.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, these are aftermarket, you know.

[John Clay Wolf]

Dude, I just sorted you out, dog. You ain't real. You're driving 04 Ford Powerstroke and you stop by Don's on the way to work and get boudin. You ain't no Mexican. And a real Mexican would know that a 185,000 miles, 62 Impala ain't worth no 37 grand. There's a Mexican market.

[Caller/Guest]

I have to give it to you. I think you're correct.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks for calling in. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio. He wasn't a. He was. He wasn't a real Mexican, Bob. That guy wasn't a real Mexican, was he?

[Caller/Guest]

I don't think he sounded like you were. Right? Me?

[John Clay Wolf]

Who's this? This is Bobbo. Hey, it's Bobbo, everybody. Good morning, Bob.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, Johnny. John. What's happening?

[John Clay Wolf]

We've just been reflecting on. On our personal experiences of the Eagles and how it affected our lives in an early age.

[Caller/Guest]

I've been devastated all week long, dude.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, I hadn't thought about Glenn Fry in forever. And until that came up, I. I would be more hit in the. In the gut if Don went down, though. What about you?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, yeah, he's. You know, he does.

[John Clay Wolf]

I would definitely be more hitting the gut if Joe went down, but. Go ahead.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. Yeah, right. No, but Glenn Fry is the heart of that, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Agreed.

[Caller/Guest]

For years. And Turley will back me up on this. I've been saying for years, I can play you any song Glenn Fry ever wrote.

[John Clay Wolf]

Really? Yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, you know, I'm sure you've heard me say that, Turley.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Anyway, you guys are sounding awesome. You've already got the line of the day out though, John. I don't know what you're gonna do until noon.

[John Clay Wolf]

What was the line of the day?

[Caller/Guest]

That's a little outside my price range at this time. That's awesome.

[John Clay Wolf]

Where are you?

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

I am.

[Caller/Guest]

I am in my home in Bowie. Bowie. Bowie, Texas, usa.

[John Clay Wolf]

Hey, Artie Lane is going to call in a little bit and give us a weather update from the East Coast. Seriously, Artie? Artie himself.

[Caller/Guest]

The Arty Lane.

[John Clay Wolf]

The Arty Lane will be on the show here, I think in the 10 o' clock hours. What he said.

[Caller/Guest]

How do you get these friends, man? You're such a jet set and high flyer.

[John Clay Wolf]

I just know the right folks, man. You just. You just gotta shower daily and buy a, you know, and be the first guy to offer his credit card when the bill comes at the bar or that restaurant.

[Caller/Guest]

Right? But Artie Lane, I mean, that's. That's big ticket, you know, celebrity right there. That's a little outside my price range right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks for calling, Bob. Calling later too. I love hearing from you. Call in with one of your bits if you got anything.

[Caller/Guest]

You got it, man. All right, see you later.

[John Clay Wolf]

Now back to the john clay wolf show. Hit him up right now. 1-800-800-rode. This is the john clay wolf show.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

City girls just seem to find out early.

[John Clay Wolf]

Did you know in Winslow, Arizona, there's a statue at the corner of Winslow, Arizona? And they're covering, everybody's covering it up with. Almost like when Steve Jobs passed away, they started laying memorials at the Doors, the Apple stores. And they're laying memorials at the corner of that statue in Winslow, Arizona. Yes. And actually, which is fine, but Jackson Brown wrote most of that song. I'm standing on a corner Winslow, Arizona, Such a good sight to see. It's a girl, my Lord. He did. Glenn did put in the. It's a girl, my Lord. In a flatbed forward slowing down to hey, look at me. But anyway, that. That statue is actually of Jackson Brown, not Glenn Fry. So Jackson's getting a lot of love this week too, which is fine. Yeah, it's all in that same era. If you haven't watched the history of the Eagles on, I'm sure it'll be on this weekend on cable. I think it's HBO. It's wonderful. I mean, wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Okay. 06 Honda Civic with a buck 20. Nick?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Good morning. Where are you calling from.

[Caller/Guest]

Katie? Right now I'm at. I'm at work, really.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well, I mean, I didn't need the end, so. Houston, you're. You're listening on 97.5 ESPN.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, cool. Okay. Is this an SI or just a regular car? Is a two door or four door? Cloth leather? Give me some, give me some LX2.

[Caller/Guest]

Door cloth five speed stick.

[John Clay Wolf]

How many miles? 120.

[Caller/Guest]

120,000.

[John Clay Wolf]

On a scale of one to ten, what have you got?

[Caller/Guest]

I would say a seven.

[John Clay Wolf]

Pretty nice car. What color?

[Caller/Guest]

Black.

[John Clay Wolf]

Black. Is it 2500.

[Caller/Guest]

That's all me.

[John Clay Wolf]

You know, that sounds right to me. Air blows Cold? No. Check engine lights. No airbag lights. Is there anything I need to spend. There's nothing I need to spend money on. I can make that work. Go to givemetheven.com and put the VIN number and push a couple pictures. Say, Wolf bought this for me for 2500 on the radio. And if you want me to put you. I'm gonna. If you want me to put you on hold, I can get you on the phone with the guy that's gonna call you back right now. Because of the way I got my. Got all high tech and I can put my radio calls on hold. The guys in the other room can grab them if you want me to. Or you just go to the website. It's your call.

[Caller/Guest]

Let me go to the website. Because I'm at. Because I'm at work right now.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. See you, man. Thanks. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radio chase, is this little Colorado truck kind of thing? No, it's like an S10 truck. Boy, this is a beater, dude. This is beater. This is beater Saturday. I like it. We never give the beaters any love. Today's like beater day Chase. A beater is like a 500 rig that's just been beat to death. That's what we call a beater. What do you want for your 500 truck?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, I mean, it's not. It's a. It's a Sonoma, but it's got. It's a GMC Sonoma.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Is it a regular cab or extended cam?

[Caller/Guest]

It's a regular cab.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a four wheel drive?

[Caller/Guest]

Nice. This is as a 2.2 is a. It's a clutch. Clutch.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

I love it, man. It's getting better. Is it? Yeah, it's got. Only got. It's only got 274,000 miles on it. Oh, yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

Well. But the head's been redone on and everything since then. Yeah, about like a few years back and. And a lot of stuff been redone, like the air conditioning, all that been redone. And it gave it. It pushed back a few. Few hundred. A hundred thousand miles on it probably because everything's been redone on it. And I just, I'm trying to get something like bigger because I, you know, I got a family now, so I just say it's only two. It's only two seaters.

[John Clay Wolf]

So here's the neat thing. Here's what Chase has proven that is exciting. You can get laid and drive a beater because he's got. He just said he's got a family now. So he obviously procreated with someone and they let him in their world driving a 250,000 mile 2000 GMC Sonoma. See, it's not about the car chase. It's about the. It's about you. It's about the bs. You can, you can hustle chicks that don't love you for your car. And you've proven that to the listening audience this morning. And we'd like to give you a big round. Yeah, I Mean, it doesn't change the fact that you have a $300 truck, but it's all good, man. You don't need. You don't need it. You don't need to spend all that money. But so what I would do is I would, you know, look around on. Do you want to spend just a couple grand on a new truck?

[Caller/Guest]

I'm trying to get just a car, you know, I'm saying like a four door car, maybe, something like that. So I could actually just sit three or four people in it instead of just two.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right. Well, how much money do you have to spend on a new automobile?

[Caller/Guest]

Well, the thing is, I was gonna sell this one and use that to get the other one.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you're not looking at buying a whole lot of car here. Well, we need to hook you up with the guy that called us earlier with the 06 Kia with 167,000 miles, because I believe it has four door handles. Yes. In an automatic transmission and maybe even swap, wouldn't it? Very close, Very close, Very close. So Chase, if you go to givemetheven.com and click email jcw and say wolfman, hook me up with the, with the dude with the Kia, then we will. I'll send you his information and make a love connection. All right, bro, y' all can do a swap. All right. It's the beater love connection here. John Clayton, Wolf show. Jonathan, good morning. You're on the air.

[Caller/Guest]

What's going on, guys?

[John Clay Wolf]

Just. Just hanging. Where are you? What. What part of the world are you in?

[Caller/Guest]

Sweet, man. I'm outside of parallel land.

[John Clay Wolf]

What, is it cloudy and cold down there?

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, yeah. You know, actually, no, it's a clear blue sky. Sunny just right.

[John Clay Wolf]

I'm in Dallas and it looks like it's about to snow, but it's not because it's not cold enough. It's about 40 degrees outside. It's just one of those blah days. I think it's heading your way. Audi 13, Audi A4. I've had a bunch of these lately. Well, you know all about these. Yeah, they're all right. Okay, so we've got the premium. The premium plus or the prestige. Which one are you driving?

[Caller/Guest]

I've got the premium plus. It's not the Quattro.

[John Clay Wolf]

It is. It is not a Quattro. So it's a two wheel drive car. Okay. Does it have factory navigation or sport package?

[Caller/Guest]

It's got the sport package with the tiptronic transmission.

[John Clay Wolf]

So it's a s. It's all leather. It's An S line?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, it's not the S line, but it's a, it's got, it's all leather, it's got sunroof, it's got the 18 inch alloy wheels. It's got, I mean it's got everything. Bluetooth.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, well based off the hard set of information I have, I think that that's standard in the premium plus, which is not bad. I'm not saying it's a bad rig, I just it. The options you can go with on that is quattro nav, factory nav or S line.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, I know for sure it's not the S line. I've got a buddy who's got an S line and it's definitely not. Not that.

[John Clay Wolf]

And you said no nav. Yes or no on the nav?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, sir. Yeah, it's got nav.

[John Clay Wolf]

Yes nav. Okay, what color?

[Caller/Guest]

It's silver.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, Silver. Silver. Just for people listening and thinking, silver's cooling off a little bit in these luxury cars. Just a little too many rentals put out in the world for silver. And then that, that new company, Silver Line Autos, is like a taxi service rental service that's leasing a lot of Audis and they're all silver. It's kind of screwed up the market. Point is, if you get another Audi, I wouldn't get silver because you'll get, you'll get more money. If it's not silver, I'm, I like the miles. It's got a clean facts, clean carfax. I'm an 185 guy, okay. And if that'll buy it, I'll buy it. If it's got a clean carfax, it's.

[Caller/Guest]

Got, I don't, I don't know if this means anything, but it's got factory warranty until 40,000, 40,000 miles. It's a standard Audi warranty and it's got the Audi care also.

[John Clay Wolf]

So anyway, that's cool. What's your payoff?

[Caller/Guest]

I think I've got like 10 grand left or something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

So you got equity. So in this scenario we would write you a check for the spread. The difference between your payoff and we would go pay the car off for you and come to your home or work or wherever you tell us with a. Our driver or give me the VIN truck, would show up three car trailer and pick it up with a check.

[Caller/Guest]

You think after you see it maybe we could maybe squeeze 20 or would you have to see it first?

[John Clay Wolf]

I need to see it. And maybe. I'm not going to say No, I don't like the silver, but yeah. What? I'm not going to say no at 20. So go to givemetheven.com and push the VIN number in and push a couple of pictures and then we'll call you back.

[Caller/Guest]

We'll do, man.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks.

[Caller/Guest]

Y' all have a good one.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, you know, 12, 18 inches, you know what's left that I didn't snort?

[John Clay Wolf]

But. Is the media overblown it? I mean, I mean, I've been a fan for years and you guys, you know, you've lived in this environment all your life. So is this just another day? Are you wondering what all the fuss is about? Did I lose him up? I lost him. Oh, is it us? It kind of sounds fuzzy. Don't know. Let me do this. Check, check. Arty there. I'll be Damn. Artie, if you can hear me, call us back. 800-800-TRO7234. Yep. Huh, huh. That's not good. Let me see if it's O5. VW Touareg. Are you there, Alex?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay, so it's. It is Arty. It wasn't. I mean, you know, Alex. I finally get RD Lane on the phone and I lose him.

[Caller/Guest]

Sorry about that.

[John Clay Wolf]

It's not your fault. Is this Touarega diesel or gas?

[Caller/Guest]

It's gas.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh, five two reg leather cloth, navigation sunroof. Yes or no?

[Caller/Guest]

Leather sunroof. I think there's the old navigation CDs. They're not up to date.

[John Clay Wolf]

Sure. What color? Black. Black. On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice is it?

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, I feel like it's still an 8. It has leather interior, really nice. Just general wear and tear.

[John Clay Wolf]

And are there any dummy lights on? Check. Engine, service, engine, ABS brakes. Okay. So we don't have to spend any money. Volkswagens are terrible about breaking down. Yeah. Tour egg. I didn't know they made it to a rig in O5. You sure this is an O5?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

Oh yeah. We double check something real quick. I thought 07 was the first year tour egg, but that's. You know, I'm not German either, so. No, you're right. Is it a V6 or V8?

[Caller/Guest]

It should be. I think it's V6.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. And it has a hundred and ten. 101.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah. It just went over a hundred thousand this week.

[John Clay Wolf]

I got you. Have you had any offers on it anywhere?

[Caller/Guest]

I haven't really looked into it.

[John Clay Wolf]

I think based off the data, based off the ones that I've bought and sold. Mine were, oh, seven's the recent ones. I think it's a four grand ride.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay.

[John Clay Wolf]

And I'll give four grand for it. And if you're a four grand seller, then I got a four grand check and you got a four grand title and a four grand car and we'll make a swap. Yo. Yo. Okay, great. Just go to Give me the Vin Vin. Givemetheven.com Put the Vin number, push a couple of pictures, say, John, hit me at four grand on the radio. I accept. Here's the information. What's next? And my guys will call you right back and get on it.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, great. Thanks.

[John Clay Wolf]

Thanks, Alex. See you. 8008-0072-3480-0800-7234. 800-800-Radio Super Dave, buying question. Good morning.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. My wife and I have owned Toyota camry since, like, 1988. And I'm in my middle 60s, and so is she. So we're. We're going to go out and just drive the dealers on i45 on the north side of Houston. But I was looking for your advice on how to shop for a used car. I haven't bought one, like I said, since the 2005 Camry XL.

[John Clay Wolf]

Mm. How many miles do you put on them? When do you. When do you decide it's in time for a new one? At what point?

[Caller/Guest]

We have two Camrys in the drive. I've got an 01, she's got an 05. They're both in the 120. So it's not a lot of miles at my age. You know, even if I go back to work here, I'm probably going to, you know, use the park and Ride in Houston. So it's not going to be a lot of miles. It'll be less than 10,000 a year.

[John Clay Wolf]

So leasing it is not a good idea. I was wondering if you should lease one, but a new one, because they've got great deals, but, you know, you'd have to do it again. And are you going to finance it or are you just going to pay for it?

[Caller/Guest]

Just going to pay cash.

[John Clay Wolf]

What's your comfort level on miles? So figure you're going to ride this next 1 to 120 again before you finished with it. What's the highest miles you want to start with? Do you want to start at 20 or do you want to start at 60?

[Caller/Guest]

Probably the most you'll consider will be like 80,000 on a used car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Best place to buy one. Best place.

[Caller/Guest]

I mean, she. She's been to carmax on our side of town this week. And I go, you're paying fifteen hundred dollars too much to begin with.

[John Clay Wolf]

25.

[Caller/Guest]

And I've been to Carfax and found all the local deals at dealers, but I don't have the contacts to get something from some private owner.

[John Clay Wolf]

Right.

[Caller/Guest]

Kind of thing. Because I just don't know where to look for something like that.

[John Clay Wolf]

Do you Want leather or cloth?

[Caller/Guest]

The 05 that we have has leather, but we're fine with clothes.

[John Clay Wolf]

I get these cars like all the time and they bring a lot because everyone trusts them. I'm wanting to say, just send me an email. The next one that comes in our system, I'll email it to you, I'll wholesale it to you. I don't care. I mean, it sounds like you know what you want and it'd be simple, but if you want to do it, go to givemetheven.com. i don't do that. But I mean, if it's easy, I will because I make about $400 a car. When you, when you shake it all out and I redistribute cars to dealers, I mean that there's a good chance that some of the cars you're looking at came from me. You know, the dealers buy them from me and they sell them to the public.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Clay Wolf]

So I don't know. I mean, you know, you could definitely, you know, mine the rags mind Craigslist, CarMax.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm not gonna do the latter.

[John Clay Wolf]

CarMax. CarMax does have a good product, that's for sure. You'll pay a premium for it, but you can trust it. A certified Toyota dealer. You're asking me where to buy cars? Back of the money, basically, like where can you get the good deal? And that's a constant problem for us too. Where can we buy our 500 cars a month, that we can make them work, where we can move them, you know, 400 bucks around and it's just not that easy. So really, auto tr, the normal stuff. Auto trader, get on there and start looking, looking, looking. They're all dealers. They're all going to be marked up $2,000. And if you. There is truth to the old adage that the last day of the month is when you can get the best deals. That's not so much from the smaller dealerships like the independent stores, but the big. And not CarMax either, but the big Chevy store, Toyota store, whatever store, if you walk in there in the last day of the month, many of them are bonused and compensated off of their sales volume. So if they're close to a number, and I can tell you January has been a weak sales month as a whole, it's not been very good. So the longer you wait, the more they're going to listen to your negotiation. I don't know what day of the month.

[Caller/Guest]

I probably won't actually have cash in hand because we're, we're pulling out of A fund of ours you don't.

[John Clay Wolf]

Have to have cashier Wednesday.

[Caller/Guest]

But. Well, what we've been finding when we've checked with people is we don't hold cars. But then they call you back and go, well, this car is still available, right?

[John Clay Wolf]

No, they're just trying to close you. They're trying to get, it's in their best interest to get a deal done now. So. So Saturday, January 30th is the last business day of the month. And if you go, if you get some in your sights and you go work on those, ready to do a deal now on Saturday, January 30th, you're gonna save yourself about a thousand dollars if you have the stomach to hold in there and negotiate hard.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I have one other, I have one other question. I've already told you, my wife is kind of stuck on Camrys. What would you suggest as an alternative to a Camry that's reliable? Price wise, it's pretty decent and all that kind of stuff.

[John Clay Wolf]

Infiniti makes a reliable car that looks nicer than a Camry and has more bells and whistles and they depreciate pretty hard. Unfortunately. And I hate to admit this, Hyundai's stay together too because I'm just, I say that because I'm just not a big Hyundai fan. But yeah, I see Hyundai's with big miles on them that are still fresh and good cars. Ondo cords. Honda Accords of course are, are right there in the same boat as Camrys. But the truth is, Charlie, the Camrys will last longer than the Accords. The Accords, yeah. The transmissions will start slipping on the Accords around a buck and a half on the miles and the Camrys will go 200. So you know, Toyota Avalon is obviously a great rig. It's a little bit bigger. And yeah, BMW 5 Series, those things are cheap, man. Yeah, but if that's not your bag, that's not your bag. But I mean I think that's the most bang for your buck. A 60,000 mile BMW 5 Series is 5 years old. I mean if you look at what that car sells for versus what they were new, it's miles. I mean they're depreciating, they're over depreciating. So hope that helps.

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, I appreciate it. It's been a great thing. I think it's probably going to help a lot of your other listeners too about how to go about buying a used car.

[John Clay Wolf]

Absolutely. Thanks. Thanks, Dave. Talk to you later. 8008-0072-3480-0800 radios. Hey get on the air with me. Marcos 15 Tahoe, two wheel drive with 25. Is it a LTZ?

[Caller/Guest]

No, just the LT with the meter and everything.

[John Clay Wolf]

Does it have quad buckets like the, the conversion van seats, four of them?

[Caller/Guest]

No, it's got the, it's got the bench and the passenger bench in the middle. Or the. What is the 4020 split bench on the front seat? No. Oh, no, no, no. On the front is a, it's a split split with the, the console in the middle.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. The front seat is a.

[Caller/Guest]

Front seats are split.

[John Clay Wolf]

Is it a bucket seat or is it. Can you throw three people across the front seat if you flip the console?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no, it's bucket. Bucket.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Does it have a sunroof center roof?

[Caller/Guest]

No.

[John Clay Wolf]

Okay. Does it have a third seat in the back?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes, it's got a third seat in the back.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. What color is it?

[Caller/Guest]

White.

[John Clay Wolf]

What color interior?

[Caller/Guest]

What is it called? Coco something is like a brown and a tan.

[John Clay Wolf]

That's good, Coco. White tan does have the 20 inch wheels or the 18s.

[Caller/Guest]

20 inch.

[John Clay Wolf]

All right. It's getting better. No roof, navigation. White tan. That's about all the questions I had. If it's got a clean carfax, have you had any accidents with it?

[Caller/Guest]

No, no. No accidents, no nothing.

[Music Segment / Eagles Songs]

It's.
