Thanks to MyAirbags we were able to track down all the missing wiring for our Hacked Apart Safety Wiring in the Cheap Auction Cadillac Escalade. Let’s install it, restore our seatbelts, and tally up exactly how much it cost to repair!

You drive the car, not the title
What about your time and labor so I will say you didn't save much
Not worth the headache to save $10k and have a vehicle with an unknown record that definitely has at least one seat belt exploding front end wreck. If you are like Sam and do this for fun and have all the tools and experience and free time then go for it. Your average car buyer would lose money on this paying a shop to find and fix it all the issues.
hell yeah i would buy a car, knowing that it was repaired correctly.
What kind of scanner is that in the video? Thanks
I am late to the game, but the car looks great. Bought an identical one from my step mom after my dad passed. Yes, I would buy the car. Prior to the 2016 I had a 2014 that was sideswiped by a semi. $18k in damage. Fixed well and I bought it from my dad when we found the 2016. You do nice work, Sam, and I would not hesitate to buy one of your cars.
The only vehicles I would not be interested in buying after a collison is an E-car.My sister was involved in an accident in her Prius,the insurance company gave her 1/3 of the Blue book because as they stated: your battery shelf life is almost spent.
Luxury vehicle … 2015 premium, 27800.00 (I paid over 100,000.00 for mine) crash would not matter to own the luxury … only 30000 miles … great looks … fun to repair … no salvage title … I wonder what happened to the suspension links?! But overall you got a deal! I’ll buy it from you for 35,000.00
I'd buy this and others like it in a heartbeat.
A trick with the sway endlinks: with the sway still attached on the other side, jack the unassembled side up. It will keep the sway bar in place but compress the middle bushings. Bonus if you can jack it up by that endlink bolt.
Thats what i figured for numbers and lets be honest 10k is 10k. People cry for $20 so saving that much mustve felt great. Seems you lucked out on this purchase and lets hope it stays that way 😁
Yes
If that Escalade is still available, I would like to discuss buying it. Thank you
Great video, thank you for sharing. Ric
As long I was told it was in a wreck and the repairs was done correctly plus safe to be on the road again. If the asking price was like 30% below the current blue book value of one that's was not in a wreck. I think I might would be willing to drive a car like that for a daily driver.
So my friend I could have carfax .?
And still have a car like that one a real money pit??
Yes, I would take the discount.
Do a jeep wrangler 2006 or cherokee 2000…. Want to see what you do with rust and parts😂
It’s outrageous that you say the seatbelt hack is common trick. Attorney general of the state where that car can from should be tasked with finding those responsible for that wiring nonsense and putting them in prison.
I would by such a car only from you
I have the worst luck with cars new and used so all I can say is I try to avoid any cars with any problems? You seem to have gotten very lucky with that car maybe you just know more about cars than I do I just can’t take the chance.
The act of joining two metals with a metal alloy is called 'soldering'….not sodering….which is butchered English.
Great truck in the right color with some relatively easy and inexpensive fixes. Well bought ! Thanks for posting !
