Speaker 3: Dawson is here with us this morning, taking your phone
0:48
Speaker 3: calls if you have any questions about the auto industry.
0:51
Speaker 3: As far as the mind cars, Larry boscars. That's what
0:54
Speaker 3: I've heard.
0:54
Speaker 4: Anyway, there's a rumor there's.
0:57
Speaker 2: A room I cars.
0:58
Speaker 3: You've done that for a little while now, I think.
0:59
Speaker 4: You know this interesting.
1:01
Speaker 5: I started by business in eighty seven and I sold
1:05
Speaker 5: in two two four, so I was there thirty seven years.
1:08
Speaker 5: When I went in, I had very little money and
1:11
Speaker 5: very small inventory. So I took white shoe polish and
1:16
Speaker 5: wrote we buy cars, and it's stuck. And I've been
1:18
Speaker 5: doing that and I actually have the copyright on we
1:22
Speaker 5: buy cars in state of West Virginia. But where I'm
1:25
Speaker 5: going is since COVID, since the shortage of cars happened
1:30
Speaker 5: and actually started really in twenty one, that how many
1:37
Speaker 5: institutions now are advertising we buy cars. It's not I mean,
1:42
Speaker 5: you have the Big Boys, which is on the Internet
1:44
Speaker 5: and pushing your number, but just about every dealership has
1:48
Speaker 5: a adversement in their website somewhere that you know they'll
1:52
Speaker 5: buy your car. So it's got very busy out there
1:57
Speaker 5: were for the longest time I was referred from dealerships
2:02
Speaker 5: to buying cars. The approach they are taking is that
2:07
Speaker 5: you know, they need cars for inventory, and they're not
2:09
Speaker 5: treading on my in my lane. I got it. I'm
2:12
Speaker 5: just a dot now. But I really started that. I mean,
2:17
Speaker 5: I'm the yeah right, I started that. I mean, you
2:20
Speaker 5: can go.
2:20
Speaker 3: And it wasn't until COVID until just became like a
2:22
Speaker 3: relatively thing that everybody did. I mean, you were like
2:25
Speaker 3: the lone person in the in the wilderness for the
2:27
Speaker 3: longest time.
2:28
Speaker 5: I think I started this radio station in O two
2:32
Speaker 5: and possibly three. So let's say COVID really inventory started
2:37
Speaker 5: dropping in twenty one ish later part of twenty one,
2:40
Speaker 5: so you take for twenty years. Let's just make it
2:43
Speaker 5: twenty years. You know, I came on the radio and
2:46
Speaker 5: we talked about me buying cars. I was the only
2:50
Speaker 5: one in that lane. I mean occasionally somebody would, you know,
2:53
Speaker 5: take it back to the dealer they bought it from.
2:55
Speaker 5: But that's what I did, and so I had let's
2:59
Speaker 5: say I had a twenty year head start. Now it's
3:01
Speaker 5: a very busy lane. I mean, everybody everybody's advertising that
3:05
Speaker 5: what's that the guy called the gas monkey.
3:08
Speaker 4: I mean he's on there.
3:10
Speaker 5: Everybody is advertising now. And they got these fancy little abs.
3:14
Speaker 5: You can put ven numbers in and and you know,
3:16
Speaker 5: you can get a number. It's it's not always successful,
3:19
Speaker 5: but you know, most of the time it.
3:22
Speaker 4: Does work out.
3:23
Speaker 5: It may not be exactly the exact amount of money.
3:26
Speaker 5: So I look at this approach now that I'm getting
3:31
Speaker 5: I'm outside the circle looking in. I'm not a retell
3:35
Speaker 5: everyday dealer. I am a license automobile dealer, and I'm
3:38
Speaker 5: still within the guidelines of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
3:42
Speaker 5: But I'm just kind of mean now, you know. It's
3:45
Speaker 5: it's I've I've entered into semi retirement. But I really
3:50
Speaker 5: liked it and enjoyed and I think I I think
3:53
Speaker 5: that was my strong point, was buying cars. So I've
3:56
Speaker 5: decided and I have to continue to do that. You know,
3:59
Speaker 5: first of all, occupy my mind, you know, occupy my space,
4:04
Speaker 5: and that's what I do. I don't work near like
4:08
Speaker 5: I used to, and I tell people I kind of
4:11
Speaker 5: I really don't work. I got a hobby, and I
4:13
Speaker 5: really like this hobby. It just happens to be what
4:15
Speaker 5: I used to do. But now that I'm really not
4:20
Speaker 5: that retel dealer coming here, please buy a car from me,
4:23
Speaker 5: and all that and pushing the product. Is how many
4:26
Speaker 5: phone calls I get from people that I once did
4:30
Speaker 5: business with that doesn't feel that pressure that I'm going
4:33
Speaker 5: to try to sell my car. They call and ask
4:35
Speaker 5: for some advice, and sometimes it's in state. Actually, the
4:40
Speaker 5: last call or two I got was out at the
4:42
Speaker 5: state and it involved a lady I know that's acquainted
4:47
Speaker 5: with a really good friend of mine in a real
4:49
Speaker 5: estate business, and she was baying she and she had
4:53
Speaker 5: questions and she had no one to ask, so she
4:56
Speaker 5: called and left the message.
4:58
Speaker 4: I called her back.
4:58
Speaker 5: I always called my when if you leave me a message,
5:01
Speaker 5: I'm going to call you back. And so we talked
5:04
Speaker 5: and I helped her through it well. Then she got
5:06
Speaker 5: the title, and she didn't quite understand titles and how
5:11
Speaker 5: they were and pay the taxes, and she was somewhat
5:16
Speaker 5: inquiring about a lien that was on a title and
5:20
Speaker 5: what I'll explain to her. And the listening audience is
5:23
Speaker 5: probably going to have had this happen to them, or
5:26
Speaker 5: in the future they're going to have it because they're
5:27
Speaker 5: going to continue buying cars. But some states, unlike West Virginia,
5:32
Speaker 5: the leanholder holds the title. In other words, you buy
5:36
Speaker 5: a car, you finance it down at the local lending institution.
5:41
Speaker 5: The dealer perfects the lean by paying the sales tax,
5:44
Speaker 5: and the title is sent to the lending institution. Then
5:49
Speaker 5: when you pay your vehicle off, the lending institution releases
5:54
Speaker 5: the lian that is on the front of the title
5:57
Speaker 5: and they mail it to you. They don't know where
6:01
Speaker 5: you live. All they have is the dress that you
6:04
Speaker 5: once lived at. So if you moved it can get
6:06
Speaker 5: lost in the shuffle. And that's what I tell people.
6:10
Speaker 5: Whether the bank didn't melt to you well or to me,
6:14
Speaker 5: I said, they may have, but do you live the
6:16
Speaker 5: same address as you did when you bought the car,
6:19
Speaker 5: because all they have is the a dress at the
6:23
Speaker 5: time of purchase, because it's on the front of the title.
6:26
Speaker 5: Now I moved, Well that might be the problem. And
6:29
Speaker 5: so now you have a lost title possession and you go,
6:32
Speaker 5: I paid it off.
6:33
Speaker 4: There's no lean on it.
6:34
Speaker 5: And you go down to the DMV to get a
6:37
Speaker 5: lost title application and you fill it out and you
6:39
Speaker 5: stand in line only to find out there's a lean
6:42
Speaker 5: in your car.
6:43
Speaker 4: And you go, well, I paid it off.
6:45
Speaker 5: I know, but the bank only the bank released the
6:49
Speaker 5: lean and they sent to you, but they don't notify
6:52
Speaker 5: the DMV. So in the world of titles, you know
6:58
Speaker 5: that they're pretty important. So you have to follow it
7:00
Speaker 5: and if you do move, update your mailing address, especially
7:04
Speaker 5: if you're paying it off. And once you have it
7:07
Speaker 5: paid off, on the front of that title is a
7:10
Speaker 5: lean release. So therefore you have a free and clear
7:14
Speaker 5: title to your car. Now, if you put that in
7:17
Speaker 5: the Bible and put it up in the closet and
7:19
Speaker 5: you forget about it and you need that title for
7:25
Speaker 5: whatever reason. And there's where I come in at is
7:29
Speaker 5: that Uncle Joe died. We can't find this title. That's
7:33
Speaker 5: very common. That's very common. And they've looked and looked
7:38
Speaker 5: and look, and they said, we'll go get you a title.
7:41
Speaker 5: And I said, well, wait a minute before you go
7:42
Speaker 5: down there to get that title.
7:45
Speaker 4: Was there ever money owed on that car? Yes, but
7:48
Speaker 4: he paid it off.
7:49
Speaker 5: I said, I know, but the DMV doesn't know that
7:52
Speaker 5: because you're gonna go down and stand that line to
7:54
Speaker 5: get frustrated. You need a release of lean from that
7:59
Speaker 5: lender to company the title application for a lost title.
8:04
Speaker 5: Then they will know that the lean has been paid off.
8:07
Speaker 5: He gets a little complicated, especially when we don't know
8:11
Speaker 5: where Uncle Joe had to loan at. And so as
8:15
Speaker 5: I walk people through this as I'm buying their cars,
8:19
Speaker 5: now let's go outside the box. Let's take me out
8:22
Speaker 5: of the scenario. Call that one eight hundred numbers and
8:24
Speaker 5: see if they'll walk you through that. You think they care,
8:28
Speaker 5: They don't care. Of course, They're just a number. They're
8:31
Speaker 5: just playing that numbers game. And so that's where I
8:35
Speaker 5: still feel that I'm different from all the other ones
8:39
Speaker 5: because I have this thing called time or my side,
8:44
Speaker 5: I have the essence of time, because you know, I'm
8:47
Speaker 5: not being pushed to buy the buy or sell to sell.
8:51
Speaker 3: Do you think that there's an element There was a
8:54
Speaker 3: time during COVID when things were sort of upside down
8:57
Speaker 3: and dealerships were finding a way to actually make a
8:59
Speaker 3: snip an amount of money off of reselling the stock
9:02
Speaker 3: that they repurchased. You know, that was a thing for
9:04
Speaker 3: a while. I personally kind of felt like, and maybe
9:08
Speaker 3: you make such an investment, there's no real way to
9:10
Speaker 3: get into this. But I personally felt like that that
9:12
Speaker 3: moment kind of moved one. But dealerships still tried to
9:17
Speaker 3: make it work. And without that moment being exactly what
9:20
Speaker 3: it was and things like that, you've had to change
9:23
Speaker 3: exactly what that means to you, And it's not what
9:25
Speaker 3: it started out as, which means that it just gets
9:28
Speaker 3: less of what it was. It reminds me of. And
9:30
Speaker 3: I don't think this is much of a stretches of
9:31
Speaker 3: an analogy back we've talked about before. I used to run
9:34
Speaker 3: a franchise of bookstores. I had a bunch of book
9:36
Speaker 3: stores and stuff, and we started relatively early, just after
9:39
Speaker 3: Amazon started, and we kind of mimicked what Amazon did
9:42
Speaker 3: for a large portion of time.
9:43
Speaker 4: We started with books.
9:44
Speaker 3: We incorporated CDs and DVDs and games like that and
9:47
Speaker 3: stuff like that later on, but our core business when
9:50
Speaker 3: we first started is that we would still go out
9:52
Speaker 3: to state sales, to library sales and different things like that,
9:56
Speaker 3: and we would find not only bulk books, but we
9:58
Speaker 3: were targeted to see books that had value and I
10:01
Speaker 3: don't mean like you would find a thousand year old
10:03
Speaker 3: copy of something. I mean like a textbook or a
10:06
Speaker 3: nonfiction book of some kind, and you would get used
10:08
Speaker 3: to this and know what had value. And when that
10:10
Speaker 3: industry first started, that was extraordinarily profitable for us, and
10:13
Speaker 3: we actually built our business off of that model. Or
10:16
Speaker 3: we would go and find at library sales and estate
10:19
Speaker 3: sales and goodwill and different places like that. We would
10:22
Speaker 3: be able to go out and find some of these
10:24
Speaker 3: things that we would put in our store also to
10:25
Speaker 3: be able to sell online because we were doing that
10:27
Speaker 3: at the time, and then it was profitable for us.
10:29
Speaker 3: The problem that had we did this for a long time,
10:31
Speaker 3: and the problem that happened is everybody started doing that.
10:33
Speaker 3: Everybody started to be like going to a good will
10:37
Speaker 3: and buying all the books and then reselling them on eBay,
10:39
Speaker 3: and they weren't targeted. They would just buy everything because
10:42
Speaker 3: they didn't have the specialized knowledge that we had. They
10:44
Speaker 3: would just go in and get everything and then throw
10:46
Speaker 3: everything at the wall see what they could turn around
10:47
Speaker 3: on eBay and stuff like that. Eventually, the library systems
10:51
Speaker 3: and stuff like that got smart, and so they stopped
10:54
Speaker 3: putting out some of these books that were worth money.
10:56
Speaker 3: Estates and stuff like that started being like, oh wait
10:57
Speaker 3: a minute, we better run these through eBay before we
10:59
Speaker 3: put them out in the estate selle because we might
11:01
Speaker 3: get more money that way. Eventually it became extraordinarily non profitable,
11:06
Speaker 3: unprofitable for us to do it, although that's how we
11:08
Speaker 3: built our business because there was just too many people
11:11
Speaker 3: that were in the game. However, we had some people
11:13
Speaker 3: that were not really contractors for it, but they still
11:16
Speaker 3: ran that type of business on the side, but they
11:18
Speaker 3: didn't have any other overhead. I had a full business
11:20
Speaker 3: by the time. I had tons of people that I
11:22
Speaker 3: had to pay. I had a department, basically an acquisition
11:24
Speaker 3: department that I paid to go out and do these things.
11:26
Speaker 3: It became where I was losing money doing it because
11:28
Speaker 3: I had overhead doing it. The people that would occasionally
11:30
Speaker 3: still come to us that only did that as they're
11:32
Speaker 3: living still did it quite fine, got by quite fine.
11:35
Speaker 3: They could find the deals still because it was at
11:37
Speaker 3: a much smaller level and they were still touching things.
11:39
Speaker 3: They were still there where they could touch the industry
11:41
Speaker 3: a little bit on that side of things, And that
11:44
Speaker 3: seems almost kind of similar. It's like these people were
11:47
Speaker 3: still able to do it because they were still on
11:49
Speaker 3: that ground. They understood the specialization of the industry where
11:51
Speaker 3: I had no choice but to grow, and really the
11:53
Speaker 3: business didn't make a lot of sense for me anymore.
11:57
Speaker 5: It's a moving target in COVID. Most people will say
12:02
Speaker 5: that COVID changed the world, and it changed the world,
12:05
Speaker 5: But I tell you what it did. It watered down relationships,
12:08
Speaker 5: the relationships that I have built over the years. I
12:13
Speaker 5: won't say I lost the relationships, but I wasn't as
12:19
Speaker 5: needed as I once was, and dealerships grew. You know,
12:24
Speaker 5: there's been a lot of by seals throughout the valley
12:27
Speaker 5: and throughout the West Virginia and throughout the world. You know,
12:31
Speaker 5: the dealerships acquiring other and they're putting them under I
12:34
Speaker 5: call them rooftops where they have to have CFOs and
12:39
Speaker 5: coos and you know, those were words that I never
12:42
Speaker 5: heard of as I was being brought up in the
12:44
Speaker 5: automobile world. You know, I knew most of the dealers
12:48
Speaker 5: by name, played golf with them, played rickaball with them,
12:51
Speaker 5: or they've been at my house, or I'd been at
12:52
Speaker 5: their house. That's not like that anymore so that one
12:57
Speaker 5: on one, and I've noticed this. You know, I'm pretty
12:59
Speaker 5: involved starting to fred out there. I'm pretty involved in
13:03
Speaker 5: watching sports on a local level. Those signs that I
13:11
Speaker 5: used to see on the baseball field and the football field,
13:14
Speaker 5: or the area around the school, the billboards or the
13:18
Speaker 5: four but eight signs, I don't see car dealers. I
13:24
Speaker 5: can't tell you how many teams I've sponsored. I sponsored
13:28
Speaker 5: a little thing just because it's Harvey Payton's secretary. She's
13:32
Speaker 5: been with Harvey a long time. I spons she had
13:36
Speaker 5: all Horse paryed in Buffalo. Well that doesn't sound like much,
13:40
Speaker 5: but in Buffalo, West Virginia, that's a lot. And they
13:44
Speaker 5: had I think they raised a lot of money for
13:47
Speaker 5: hospice and they had lots of horses, and it's an
13:50
Speaker 5: all horse preyed on Buffalo, West Virginia. That means a lot.
13:55
Speaker 5: I don't think Carvana or all these big stores are
13:59
Speaker 5: going to go down there and advertise it. I provided music.
14:02
Speaker 5: It's my way of paying back and saying thank you.
14:06
Speaker 5: The little town of Buffalo is located across the river
14:09
Speaker 5: from Winfield, where I live, where I went to high
14:11
Speaker 5: school at And yes, I buy cars, and I bought
14:14
Speaker 5: cars on that side of the river, and that side
14:16
Speaker 5: of the river really doesn't get a lot of attention.
14:19
Speaker 4: And when Moonie.
14:20
Speaker 5: Asked me about the music, I said, sure, I'll take
14:23
Speaker 5: care of him. Put a banner up, and I'm sure.
14:26
Speaker 5: Unfortunately I wasn't there. I was in Pickens, West Virginia's
14:29
Speaker 5: side to side writing, but I understand that they rolled
14:33
Speaker 5: a red carpet out and it was quite, you know,
14:36
Speaker 5: an ordeal. And once again, if you look around, you
14:40
Speaker 5: do not see these large stores with their name on
14:45
Speaker 5: the back of these jerseys. I still get inquiries about
14:52
Speaker 5: donating money to small schools with small functions. I know
14:56
Speaker 5: why I'm getting it. I'm a nobody. I'm almost not
15:00
Speaker 5: existence because they can't get attention of the big person.
15:04
Speaker 5: It's just those dollars are going digitally somewhere else. And
15:10
Speaker 5: I'm just old school, and I guess they'll bury me.
15:12
Speaker 5: I'll still do my own thing. And it doesn't work
15:16
Speaker 5: for everybody. But when you have a circumstance and frustration
15:20
Speaker 5: hits you, and it's very easy to do, you know,
15:23
Speaker 5: trying to use a computer to do anything, if you're
15:26
Speaker 5: north of fifty years old, or trying to converse with
15:30
Speaker 5: somebody that is probably AI, it's call me, call me,
15:35
Speaker 5: just like this lady did in Florida. She didn't quite
15:37
Speaker 5: understand what this lean on this title of this jeet
15:41
Speaker 5: that she bought was in some states, and that I
15:46
Speaker 5: got off track there. Just meant to tell you what
15:48
Speaker 5: you know how to do West Virginia. But in some
15:51
Speaker 5: states that you carry the title with you and it
15:58
Speaker 5: has the lean and you go to the courthouse, the
16:00
Speaker 5: county seat when you pay your car off to get
16:04
Speaker 5: a release of lean. Kentucky's that way, so because I've
16:08
Speaker 5: sent many payoffs to the county seat in Kentucky, and
16:13
Speaker 5: so it gets complicated if that's not what you have done,
16:19
Speaker 5: and if you're out trying to solo and do it
16:21
Speaker 5: by yourself. You can get in a position you don't
16:26
Speaker 5: want to be and you have no one to call.
16:28
Speaker 5: And as these larger stores get larger, and yes they
16:32
Speaker 5: say they're going to buy cars, let there be a
16:35
Speaker 5: situation or a problem and see how much.
16:37
Speaker 4: Attention you get.
16:40
Speaker 5: I at Least I have commercial property and I just
16:43
Speaker 5: ended a lease with Trust. I least trust, which is
16:47
Speaker 5: a large bank. It's a national bank. We just ended
16:51
Speaker 5: and when they left it, they didn't leave the building.
16:55
Speaker 5: I would say any condition that I would left it.
16:59
Speaker 5: They shortly leave it and CONDI they got it. So
17:03
Speaker 5: with some phone calls and pushing, they came and removed
17:07
Speaker 5: some other items. I'm still not happy about what I'm
17:11
Speaker 5: gonna have to do. Was caught to clean up. But
17:13
Speaker 5: that's okay. I'm a big boy. The other company I
17:16
Speaker 5: at least too, is a national health care company. They
17:20
Speaker 5: are ending their least because they've been bought out by
17:22
Speaker 5: another national health care company. But all of a sudden
17:25
Speaker 5: now is when they sent me the termination notice, they
17:29
Speaker 5: had to give me ninety days. As we get very
17:32
Speaker 5: close to the ninety days, they realized they needed that building.
17:37
Speaker 5: What for a while longer well. The company that I
17:40
Speaker 5: could not ever get a hold of to end at
17:43
Speaker 5: least to do the walkthrough. All of a sudden they
17:47
Speaker 5: needed me.
17:47
Speaker 4: Oh hey, hey, look here we are.
17:49
Speaker 5: And started calling, and I finally got a hold of
17:54
Speaker 5: someone that that we were okay, we could, we could share.
17:58
Speaker 4: I mean we could, we could talk.
17:59
Speaker 5: I think we're on the same page because I gave
18:02
Speaker 5: them an extension. But the lady I was talking to
18:07
Speaker 5: start talking over me and telling me what they're going
18:12
Speaker 5: to do and how they're going to pay me, and
18:14
Speaker 5: their lease had finalized, and I just let her go
18:18
Speaker 5: through her spill because I couldn't get a word in.
18:20
Speaker 5: I me every time I broke my mouth, she was
18:22
Speaker 5: talking over me. And you do that with me, You
18:26
Speaker 5: start telling me, I'll shut down on you and then
18:30
Speaker 5: you'll figure it out. And so how, somehow I intercepted
18:36
Speaker 5: an email between the lady I was not communicating well
18:40
Speaker 5: with and the guy that I would think I was
18:42
Speaker 5: communicating well with was She says he just won't return
18:46
Speaker 5: my cause.
18:47
Speaker 4: And I thought, imagine that.
18:51
Speaker 5: I've called you for six months over the property IX
18:54
Speaker 5: because you've not paid them. Goodness, But that's okay. We
18:56
Speaker 5: got that resk because I found somebody that liked to talk.
19:00
Speaker 5: And if you can talk and we can understand each other,
19:02
Speaker 5: we're going to be good. Let me speak and then
19:04
Speaker 5: you can speak, and we're going to find the happy
19:07
Speaker 5: meeting point. But when you take that ball and you're
19:10
Speaker 5: gonna tell me what you're gonna do with my building.
19:13
Speaker 5: And I think people gets caught up in selling their cars.
19:16
Speaker 5: They make the invite of the national company into their world,
19:21
Speaker 5: you know, into their world, their little space on Beech
19:24
Speaker 5: Street in Charleston, West Virginia, to sell mama's car. And
19:27
Speaker 5: then here comes the big boys and they'll come in
19:32
Speaker 5: and start dictating, and you catch the right person, they'll
19:34
Speaker 5: overwhelm you and then they take all this information from you.
19:39
Speaker 5: And once they're gone, they have all your information. And
19:43
Speaker 5: that's where I once again, I'm different. There's not gonna
19:46
Speaker 5: be information stored in a computer. It's gonna be you
19:49
Speaker 5: and I. And if Grandma is involved and we have
19:52
Speaker 5: to get a fire of attorney or someone's past, and
19:55
Speaker 5: I've done that, I've went to the house. I went
19:57
Speaker 5: to many houses. Now, I can't tell you how many
20:00
Speaker 5: houses I went to with circumstances that involved let's just
20:06
Speaker 5: say illness, death, divorced situations that we all have to
20:11
Speaker 5: deal with we do not want to deal with. So
20:14
Speaker 5: we got to slow it down because there's emotions of aldiness.
20:18
Speaker 5: I mean, I can show you a text or my
20:20
Speaker 5: phone a person thanking me for going to their mother's
20:24
Speaker 5: house because it was the last raw, it's the last car.
20:29
Speaker 5: And we I did a follow up. I said, is
20:31
Speaker 5: she okay? And he said, wonderful. It will work out fine.
20:35
Speaker 5: I don't think it would have worked out fine without
20:37
Speaker 5: that one on one were sitting in that living room.
20:41
Speaker 5: And I've done that and I'm accustomed to do that,
20:44
Speaker 5: and I feel like it's my obligation I pay back
20:47
Speaker 5: to society all those that helped me along my journey.
20:52
Speaker 5: Gentleman owns a fireplace store in Cross Slane. Steve has
20:55
Speaker 5: been there for gosh, I don't know, forty or fifty
20:58
Speaker 5: years longer than I was in business. He was one
21:01
Speaker 5: of the last customers we sold a car too. And
21:04
Speaker 5: he called me last week and he said, is there
21:06
Speaker 5: anybody doing what you did and that little niche you
21:10
Speaker 5: had because I have an employee And I said, no, Steve,
21:13
Speaker 5: there's not not like the way I did it because
21:15
Speaker 5: I didn't chase price. I wanted quality, and I said
21:19
Speaker 5: that's that. Unfortunately we have drifted away from that. And
21:24
Speaker 5: once again I was small and I was like the
21:27
Speaker 5: house flipper, but I didn't go by.
21:29
Speaker 4: The cheap stuff. I bought the good stuff.
21:32
Speaker 5: So when you got the house, the plumbing didn't leak
21:34
Speaker 5: that I missed things.
21:35
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it did.
21:37
Speaker 5: But you had a really good cetubrations in your car,
21:39
Speaker 5: and really good set ofators are in your car. And
21:42
Speaker 5: there was where I stood different. And I think in
21:45
Speaker 5: me buying cars, where I stand different is that I do.
21:49
Speaker 5: I am a person. You know, I have connections in
21:52
Speaker 5: this community. I have connections with this radio station, and
21:56
Speaker 5: so I want to represent what little bit and I
22:00
Speaker 5: have left to me in buying cars. I'm going to
22:03
Speaker 5: treat it like I did day one. So I think
22:08
Speaker 5: that's the difference when you get out to it, because
22:11
Speaker 5: it's crowded. It's very crowded out here, and we buy
22:14
Speaker 5: car lane.
22:15
Speaker 4: That's right.
22:16
Speaker 3: And you've been doing it longer than anybody else and
22:19
Speaker 3: still can operate in that low overhead specialized area, which
22:23
Speaker 3: really is what gives you an advantage. Not only the
22:25
Speaker 3: depth of knowledge that goes back nearly forty years or more.
22:29
Speaker 3: But also just the fact that you can operate on
22:32
Speaker 3: your own time, doing your own thing, making the right situations,
22:35
Speaker 3: which which is very unique. It gives you that ability
22:38
Speaker 3: where you can operate only where you're comfortable, and that's
22:40
Speaker 3: very appantageous not only for you, of course working in
22:43
Speaker 3: your retirement, but the people that you choose to do
22:45
Speaker 3: business with. That only helps them. Yes, there's no question

Speaker 3: about that. Let's do this. Let's take a break. If

26:42
Speaker 9: of them. We're going to do this for you. We're
26:44
Speaker 9: going to take care of you. And he just sent

28:13
Speaker 10: four at Hurricane on the southwest corner. It is a

Speaker 10: tremendous automobile lot. Do you know what that operation's all about.
28:23
Speaker 10: I'll listen on the radio. Thank you, Thanks Richard.
28:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's co Part and co Part is a national
28:30
Speaker 5: chain that does liquidations of mostly totaled vehicles. In other words,
28:37
Speaker 5: let's just say you are an automobile accident. They totaled
28:40
Speaker 5: your car. They will pick your car up and that's
28:43
Speaker 5: the closest co Part and they take them there and
28:47
Speaker 5: co Part runs a salvage auction. In other words, you
28:51
Speaker 5: can go on line as a dealer and buy and
28:55
Speaker 5: that maybe as an individual. I don't exclusively say dealer.
28:59
Speaker 5: But I am stood with Copart and I could go
29:02
Speaker 5: down there. And it's not that I can't remember if
29:06
Speaker 5: I've ever sent a car there that I bought that
29:08
Speaker 5: was deemed wrecked or totaled.
29:11
Speaker 4: But he's right.
29:12
Speaker 5: It's it's huge, and he's exactly right in the location.
29:17
Speaker 5: And it's called co Part.
29:18
Speaker 4: But it is a national.
29:19
Speaker 5: Company and they do liquidations, fire car bent on, fire,
29:25
Speaker 5: flood or just an automobile accident. But that's the name
29:29
Speaker 5: of the company's coat. It's called co Part. Hey, you
29:32
Speaker 5: called the right guy to find out. Larry knew what
29:34
Speaker 5: it was.
29:35
Speaker 3: By the way, Larry Dawson, you can get ahold of
29:37
Speaker 3: Larry if you have any questions things that we talked
29:39
Speaker 3: about on the show. If you're looking at maybe selling
29:41
Speaker 3: a vehicle, threes are four five, four five zero two
29:43
Speaker 3: one one. Threes are four five, four, five zero two
29:46
Speaker 3: one one For Larry Dawson, he buys cars.
29:48
Speaker 5: Still tell you a quick story, and it happened right
29:50
Speaker 5: here in this station. The Mayor Winfield is a very
29:54
Speaker 5: good friend of mine. Unfortunately he lost his father. Father
29:59
Speaker 5: had a truck called me about evaluation. I shared with
30:02
Speaker 5: him what I thought went by city hall there set
30:05
Speaker 5: the truck. I wheeled in there. I was going to
30:07
Speaker 5: the farm. Called Randy and he said, hey, I just
30:09
Speaker 5: don't leave up. I'm just like two minutes away.
30:12
Speaker 4: Pulled in.
30:12
Speaker 5: He and I talked, had a nice truck, and I said,
30:17
Speaker 5: my neighbor, which is rich the realtor, is looking for
30:23
Speaker 5: a truck for his stepson.
30:25
Speaker 4: Said here's his number. You might call him.
30:27
Speaker 8: Now.
30:28
Speaker 5: I have nothing in this, okay. And other than my
30:32
Speaker 5: neighbors said hey, here, I want to find a truck
30:35
Speaker 5: my son that you know, and I said okay. Then
30:37
Speaker 5: I saw the mayor's and I thought, well, I'll put
30:38
Speaker 5: these two together. Well, as I was telling this story
30:43
Speaker 5: about a month ago, and I mentioned rich Therilder, Richie
30:47
Speaker 5: Klein and the mayor and the truck. There's a lawyer
30:53
Speaker 5: and Timmy Lafon heard it me talking about it in Charleston. Well,
30:57
Speaker 5: he's our city attorney, I said, on the board. And
31:00
Speaker 5: well in Winfield and Nitro, so lawyer Lafawn calls Mayor
31:07
Speaker 5: Bart and says, hey, that truck. He said, I want
31:10
Speaker 5: to you know, I want to buy the truck. And
31:12
Speaker 5: he said, well, how do you even know about it?
31:14
Speaker 4: Larry Dawson.
31:17
Speaker 5: So if you share with me, I might share it
31:20
Speaker 5: with someone else that's a Byron. Then once again I
31:23
Speaker 5: have nothing in this now. Mayor Bert sold the truck.
31:26
Speaker 5: It was his father's and Lawyer la Fawn bought it
31:29
Speaker 5: which he needed for whatever reason, and Larry was the messenger.
31:35
Speaker 5: Larry worked free on that one. But maybe Lawyer Lafawn
31:39
Speaker 5: or Mayor Bart will have one next time that I'm
31:42
Speaker 5: going to be able to buy. Actually, I pulled in
31:45
Speaker 5: to uh gus, I've got look in the truck and
31:47
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, somewhere I know somebody.
31:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, I might buy that truck.
31:51
Speaker 5: And Randy doesn't even know this that I pulled in
31:54
Speaker 5: there the second time only to find this story out
31:58
Speaker 5: that I think his name is Tim Lafawn. Is Larry
32:01
Speaker 5: Lafaun's brother or cousin was brother. I think Larry's a
32:05
Speaker 5: retired auto dealer, but he You never know when you
32:10
Speaker 5: when you share information, especially with the old car guy,
32:13
Speaker 5: the old guy that hangs around tutors.
32:17
Speaker 4: I'm that guy now. Now, one thing I'm not gonna be.
32:19
Speaker 5: I'm not going to be the guy that gets on
32:21
Speaker 5: the fake book and complain about everything. I just laugh
32:24
Speaker 5: and take a pretty picture of Pickings, West Virginia.
32:27
Speaker 4: You know, and put on there. But that's what I do.
32:30
Speaker 5: I'm kind of the information highway, kind of the car guy.
32:33
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna try to sell your car. I'm gonna
32:35
Speaker 5: try to buy your car. And if I can't buy
32:37
Speaker 5: your car, I might know somebody wants to buy your car,
32:39
Speaker 5: and I can't buy them all, especially today, you know,
32:43
Speaker 5: I'm just a one on one guy. Normally I spot
32:45
Speaker 5: a car and and uh, over the years, I have
32:49
Speaker 5: a rollodex full of dealers that one dealer that might
32:55
Speaker 5: excel in buying this one certain brand or one certain
32:58
Speaker 5: price French car I know here right, and then I
33:01
Speaker 5: have the lower end guy and the higher end guy.
33:03
Speaker 5: And so it's all in my mind. I mean, if
33:06
Speaker 5: I cracked my head hoping one day all these little
33:09
Speaker 5: cars are going around, I'm gonna bleed out in cars.
33:12
Speaker 9: Well.
33:12
Speaker 3: One of the things that really strikes me when you
33:13
Speaker 3: talk about this though, you know, back in the you know,
33:15
Speaker 3: when I was growing up and when people wanted to
33:18
Speaker 3: you know, they had their car they paid off. Maybe
33:20
Speaker 3: it was their kid's car that they finally paid off,
33:22
Speaker 3: or or the older sister gave her younger brother her car,
33:25
Speaker 3: and then he decided he was going to sell that
33:27
Speaker 3: to turn around and buy another car. Whatever it might be,
33:29
Speaker 3: that this stuff used to happen all the time, and
33:31
Speaker 3: there was nothing to stick a sign in the in
33:33
Speaker 3: the in the windshield. Maybe you would ask a friend
33:35
Speaker 3: of yours whose dad owned a local business if you
33:38
Speaker 3: could pull it into the parking lot there or something
33:39
Speaker 3: like that and put a phone number on it for
33:41
Speaker 3: people to uh to give you a call to be
33:43
Speaker 3: interested in the vehicle. Absolutely nothing wrong with that in concept,
33:46
Speaker 3: there's nothing wrong with it today. The problem is is
33:49
Speaker 3: number one, the people that are out looking at that
33:51
Speaker 3: car aren't necessarily the person that needs the car. They're
33:53
Speaker 3: they're looking for numbers of people to call, and then
33:55
Speaker 3: they're going to come and get you and try to
33:57
Speaker 3: broke her a deal with you. And they're going to
33:58
Speaker 3: try to pin into this, and pinion to that and
34:00
Speaker 3: and and try to talk you into something because they're
34:03
Speaker 3: gonna be dangling a you know, where they're claimed to
34:05
Speaker 3: be a check in front of you. Who knows if
34:06
Speaker 3: it's going to clear or not, but that's what they're
34:07
Speaker 3: going to claim. It's it's less authentic than it used
34:10
Speaker 3: to be. It used to be the person that calls.
34:11
Speaker 3: It was the person that wanted the car, and that's
34:13
Speaker 3: who you still are. You're still the guy that wants
34:14
Speaker 3: the car. You're not trying to act, and you're not
34:17
Speaker 3: trying to to, uh, to be the bigger company that's
34:19
Speaker 3: coming in and taking all the cars. You know, I
34:21
Speaker 3: got to have them all. You know, you're still acting
34:23
Speaker 3: on a on a one on one basis. You are
34:25
Speaker 3: exactly that person that if you're contacting that person because
34:28
Speaker 3: you want the car. And it's just different in that
34:30
Speaker 3: way like it used to be, rather than today where
34:33
Speaker 3: people are trying to well, let's go get all the
34:35
Speaker 3: cars and we can bring them on our lot and
34:36
Speaker 3: we can sell them, and then we can put a
34:38
Speaker 3: little bit of money into this and sell it for
34:39
Speaker 3: this much more and so on and so forth. It's
34:41
Speaker 3: just and the expansion of it being bigger, it's made
34:44
Speaker 3: it less authentic and uh, it's harder to find the
34:47
Speaker 3: solid deals.
34:49
Speaker 5: You probably are aware of this that these scammers or
34:57
Speaker 5: telemarkers can sp I don't know if this is the
35:00
Speaker 5: right word. They can spoof the number to make it
35:03
Speaker 5: look like the phone call is originating from whatever business.
35:07
Speaker 3: Hey, they can make it look like it's coming from
35:08
Speaker 3: your own number. Yeah yeah, oh yeah, they can do
35:10
Speaker 3: whatever number they want.
35:12
Speaker 5: In the last day's or earth of anyone, we have
35:17
Speaker 5: to use this thing called a funeral unfortunately. And I
35:21
Speaker 5: want to leave this vegue because this happened to a
35:25
Speaker 5: friend of mine that they got to follow up call
35:28
Speaker 5: from the funeral home. They thought they just used.
35:33
Speaker 11: Needing immediate payment, and an immediate payment was made out
35:39
Speaker 11: of maybe not having all their wits together at that moment.
35:45
Speaker 4: Same way with.
35:46
Speaker 3: Wow, that is how disaster is that somebody who's going
35:49
Speaker 3: through such grief?
35:50
Speaker 4: And then oh my goodness, so you.
35:52
Speaker 5: Better be careful when you reach out and then they
35:56
Speaker 5: contact you back.
35:57
Speaker 4: Now, how do you know? How do you know? That's
36:01
Speaker 4: the company with me?
36:04
Speaker 5: You can take You can get a cell phone number
36:06
Speaker 5: that I've had since nineteen eighty nine. You can google it.
36:09
Speaker 5: It will show you my house. I'm not going nowhere,
36:13
Speaker 5: And that's what I try to slow people down. Once again.
36:17
Speaker 5: I can't buy them all. I'm not going to try to.
36:19
Speaker 5: I just get one here and there and have something
36:22
Speaker 5: to do. I've helped so many people. But be careful
36:26
Speaker 5: when you reach out, especially.
36:28
Speaker 3: When you give your Yeah, if you're online and you're like, oh,
36:31
Speaker 3: maybe somebody wants to buy my car. Because all they're doing,
36:35
Speaker 3: I mean, this is isn't real secret, but they're just
36:37
Speaker 3: collecting your information, putting it on a list and selling
36:40
Speaker 3: it to people. That's why suddenly you get one hundred
36:42
Speaker 3: email contacts and phone numbers you don't recognize calling in
36:45
Speaker 3: stuff like that. You just voluntarily gave your information to
36:49
Speaker 3: a list broker. I mean, that's the bottom line what happened, and.
36:52
Speaker 5: They sell off. People are intriggued when they have conversation
36:56
Speaker 5: or if they google one thing like cowboy boots. Maybe
37:00

37:02
Speaker 5: many times it will pop up on your phone. Oh yeah,
37:05

37:14
Speaker 5: and that merchandise it could be different than what you
37:17
Speaker 5: think it is. And you know, there's temptation. That didn't
37:23
Speaker 5: pt Barms say there was a full born every.
37:25
Speaker 4: Day, and you got to be careful.
37:28
Speaker 5: They know the weakness and they you know you can
37:32

37:35
Speaker 4: It will tell you my age.
37:37

Speaker 5: You know, where do you become a week in life
37:51
Speaker 5: or the end of it? And not only mentally, but physically.
37:56
Speaker 5: And I think sometimes maybe a lot of times, that's
38:00
Speaker 5: taking advantage.
38:01
Speaker 4: Other Oh sure it is.
38:02
Speaker 3: There's an entire industry out there that's, as we speak,
38:05
Speaker 3: creating customized fingerprints for basically every single person you meet
38:09
Speaker 3: everybody else. And I don't mean like actual fingerprints, I
38:13
Speaker 3: mean your digital fingerprint. What you'll be able to do
38:15
Speaker 3: is you'll be able to you know, how all this
38:16
Speaker 3: data that we give people are supposed to be anonymized.
38:19
Speaker 3: You know that you can't identify anybody. Well, what's going
38:22
Speaker 3: to be happening soon is you're going to be able
38:24
Speaker 3: to match up specific tailored ads and things like that
38:27
Speaker 3: for a particular person. I mean you see that more
38:30
Speaker 3: in a general sense now, but I mean this kind
38:33
Speaker 3: of data that's being collected and being sold off not
38:35
Speaker 3: only to commercial companies but to the government and stuff
38:38
Speaker 3: like that. It's basically soial security data, your IRS data,
38:41
Speaker 3: your medical data. I mean all these things are now
38:43
Speaker 3: being tied into one location and people can buy that information.
