YouTube сувгийн хөтлөгч 2008 оны Saturn VUE XE AWD V6 загварыг 700 ам.доллароор худалдан авч, богино хугацаанд ашигтайгаар борлуулах туршилт хийжээ.
Автомашины дуудлага худалдаанаас урьдчилан харалгүйгээр худалдаж авсан энэхүү тээврийн хэрэгслийн зай хураагуур нь бүрэн цэнэггүй байсан ч цэнэглэсний дараа хэвийн ажиллах боломжтой болсон байна. Салон болон таазны бүрээс нь сайн нөхцөлд байсан нь худалдан авалтын давуу тал болжээ.
Нийт 200,827 миль явсан уг автомашиныг туршиж үзэхэд хурдны зам дээр жигд хурдалж, хурдны хайрцгийн шилжилт саадгүй байв. Хөтлөгчийн зүгээс бүх дугуйгаар хөтлөх системд ямар нэгэн доголдол, чичиргээ, гадны чимээ илрээгүй болохыг онцолсон юм.
Эцэст нь уг автомашиныг Galaxy Motors дилерийн төвд 1,500 ам.доллароор санал болгож, талууд тохиролцсоноор 800 ам.долларын цэвэр ашигтайгаар наймааг амжилттай дуусгажээ. Энэхүү үйл явдал нь эрсдэлтэй худалдаа ч зөв сонголттой тохиолдолд үр дүнтэй байж болохыг харууллаа.

For one American man, buying a 2008 Saturn VUE XE AWD V6 sight unseen would be the makings of a very lucky day.
When he bought the car for $700, this YouTuber must have known he was taking a risk.
The plan was to flip it in one day to make a big profit.
It was undoubtedly a tall order, but was Lady Luck on his side?
Buying cars sight unseen is a risky move
You don’t need to be a master of the deal to know that buying a car sight unseen is a gamble.
Sometimes it can pay off – as it did for this man who splashed $133,000 on an Aston Martin.
But it can also bring a sizable dose of buyers remorse, like it did for a certain Tyler Hoover with this Porsche 911.
How would things pan out for YouTube channel Auto Auction Rebuilds when he bought a 2008 Saturn VUE XE AWD V6?
Would this 2008 Saturn VUE XE AWD V6 be a dud or a diamond?
This car was purchased from Insurance Auto Auctions for a cool $700.
The interior and headliner was in remarkably good shape, but there was bad news yet to come.
And that was the battery, which arrived completely dead.
However, days of charging got it back into fighting form.
With 200,827 miles on the odometer, this Saturn had evidently been around the block.
A test drive showed that it still had a lot of life in it, easily reaching highway speeds and shifting smoothly between gears.
“The all-wheel drive system is fine. There’s no funky noises. There’s no vibrations,” the host commented.
“Look at the steering wheel. I mean, I’m going around a curve right now, but the steering is straight. Doesn’t vibrate in the slightest.”
How much profit did he make?
Here was the plan – he was going to pitch the car to a local dealership, Galaxy Motors, with whom he often collaborated.
He was going to ask for $1,500.
At first, Galaxy Motors offered $1,200, but he held firm to his original price.
Ultimately, they agreed to $1,500 and he walked away with a neat $800 profit.
That sounds like a job well done in our book.
