0:00:02 > 0:00:08- 'Now on Top Gear, can we learn to sell used cars?'- Test drive a car and you get a free pony ride.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'Can a car be sporty and economical?'
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Oh, what happened to saving the planet? TYRES SCREECH
0:00:14 > 0:00:18'And Tim Allen rips up our track.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:29Welcome to Top Gear. On this show, nobody will find true love, nobody will find their real father,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32but if you like cars, this is where you belong.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37I'm Adam Ferrara, that's Tanner Foust and this is Rutledge Wood.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And this is a Honda CRX. Back in the 80s, they made three versions of this.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The HF, which got incredible mileage, over 50 miles to the gallon.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49The DX, which is what I bought when I was 17.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53And the car that I really wanted, which was the sports version, the SI.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Honda's got a new coupe that they think combines all three,
0:00:57 > 0:01:02affordability, sportiness and fuel economy, into one single model.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09'San Francisco, famous for its bridges, outdated modes of transport,
0:01:09 > 0:01:14'Crayola stores, and home to some of the steepest city streets in the world.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18'The perfect place to test Honda's new compact.'
0:01:21 > 0:01:24This is the 2011 Honda CRZ.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27The letters stand for compact renaissance zero,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31which is a new-age way of saying, "We've been down this road before in the 80s."
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So is this the new CRX?
0:01:36 > 0:01:42'Now, the Honda CRZ looks great. It's a foot longer and four inches taller than the CRX
0:01:42 > 0:01:46'but it does maintain the same basic wedge shape.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49'It's got a racy front end, a low centre of gravity,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53'it's got a stick shift so you know it's a serious driver's car.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57'And the price? Well, it starts at just a little over 19,000.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02'The interior has that arty hipster feel in a mass-produced Honda kind of way.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04'Lots of shiny buttons and electronics.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09'There's just two seats, and behind them is a weird space
0:02:09 > 0:02:13'with a sign on it that says, "If you sit here, you'll die."
0:02:13 > 0:02:17'But here's the most surprising thing about the car. It's a hybrid.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21'No, seriously, it is.
0:02:22 > 0:02:29'Honda has set out to break the mould of boring, hemp shirt wearing, hydroponic plant growing hybrids
0:02:29 > 0:02:31'with this sporty-looking ride.'
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Every time you see a Prius on the road or an Insight, you think nerd-mobile.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43'Well, in this car, it doesn't look like a hybrid. I mean, it looks like a fun little car.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50'So, how fast does the CRZ hit 60?'
0:02:53 > 0:02:5626 miles an hour in first gear.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Now 36. Boy it's a rocket ship.
0:02:59 > 0:03:0249, 50.
0:03:03 > 0:03:0950. 50. I'm bored.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13'This is a cruel joke. A car that looks this good shouldn't be so slow.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16'It's like being locked in a room with Eva Longoria
0:03:16 > 0:03:18'but all you're allowed to do is watch her play sudoku.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23'But it is a two-seater, so you must be getting, like, 1,000 miles per gallon, right?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25'I think you'll be surprised.'
0:03:25 > 0:03:29If you want to save the world, you should probably just buy one of these,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31cos a Prius will get 50 miles a gallon.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34This CRZ will get 37. But...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Can the Prius do that?
0:03:38 > 0:03:44'Finally, I found the key to the CRZ's chastity belt.' How you doing? It's a hybrid.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49'What Honda has done is given us three different driving modes that will dramatically change
0:03:49 > 0:03:52'the way the car drives, unlike the buttons in the Prius and Insight.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57'At the flick of a switch, it's like you're back in the CRX SI.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01'In fact, you can reach 60 miles an hour in just eight seconds.'
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Can you feel that? That's the electric motor kicking in, giving you 56 extra foot pounds of torque.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14'So it seems like the perfect car for someone who wants pretty good gas mileage
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'but isn't quite ready to give up on life.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19'But we needed a challenge.'
0:04:21 > 0:04:24To see if it can stand up to the rigours of city life,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28we're going to run it against something even greener. Bicycles.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34'But not just any bicycles. Nope. We'll be racing two pro free-ride mountain bikers
0:04:34 > 0:04:37'who know San Francisco like the back of their hand.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42'I'll be racing them to settle the question, "Has Honda succeeded in making a hybrid sporty?"
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But since I don't know my way around town,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49the producers have been gracious enough to give me a navigator.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- Hiya, pal. - Hey. Of course, a guy from New York helping me around San Francisco.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Look at this. How hard could it be? It's a grid. It's a foggy grid. We got this.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03'The race would cover 13 miles.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05'From the starting line here at Twin Peaks,
0:05:05 > 0:05:10'we would wind downhill through the streets of San Francisco into the Warehouse District,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'up and down the hilliest part of the city
0:05:13 > 0:05:17'and then along the waterfront to Fort Point at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.'
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- You ready, paperboys? - We're good.- Go!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24That's cute. Keep pedalling! You're going the wrong way!
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Whoa!- Adam, get in the car!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34'It was clear that the paperboys were going to play dirty.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38'They took the early lead.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44'But we had 13 miles and San Francisco's steep hills to reel them back in.'
0:05:44 > 0:05:48What are the chances we can lose to two guys on bikes? We're in a car.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Yeah, but we're in a hybrid. - This is a sporty hybrid.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- It's got a six-speed. - A hybrid with six-speed? It's like putting a spoiler on a golf cart.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02'A mile in and we still hadn't caught up with the bikers.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06'I didn't know whether to blame the car or Mrs Doubtfire's driving.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:12- No, there's shift points.- You're killing me.- There's shift points. - I don't care. Push sport and go!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14All right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Bikes are in the park. Come on, let's go.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29'Finally, we got them in our sights.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'Now it was time to see what the CRZ was made of.'
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Where are they? - There they are.- Holy crap!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Get in the bike lane! Does this go any faster?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh! What happened to saving the planet?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48'We had taken the lead. But in the excitement, Adam's map-reading went south.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Uh-oh. All right, we're at Castro.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Two guys in a two-seater hybrid. We should blend in just fine.- Mm.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It clearly is a colourful part of town.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Long live the rainbow. Looks just like your dash.- It changes colour for different moods.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- You have a mood dash? - Yeah! Like, if you're in economy, it's green, like now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Give it a little gas, it turns to blue.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22- And then if you really step on it, red.- All right. I want to see nothing but red. Come on, let's go.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26'Adam's diversion had set us back
0:07:26 > 0:07:28'and the bikers were racing ahead.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33'But I was still confident. Perhaps too confident.'
0:07:33 > 0:07:37You want to run them? It's a hybrid. I know you're in an M3.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I'm going. - TYRES SCREECH
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- See, look at that smile on your face.- You got a little bit. - You ever smiled in a Prius? No.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- You ever smiled in an Insight? - Nope.- No way.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53'Five miles in, we hit the warehouse district.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56'And there they were.'
0:07:56 > 0:07:59They're right there! Go, go, go!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04'Since they seemed to know where they were going better than Adam, I decided to follow them.'
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Oh, crap! - You're not going to make it!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13'Bad idea.'
0:08:16 > 0:08:20'We were halfway into the race and the paperboys had the edge.'
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Can you see them?- Yeah, they're around.- Keep your eyes peeled.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30'The bikes might be able to hop, skip and jump their way through every shortcut,
0:08:30 > 0:08:35'but there was one thing they wouldn't be able to trick their way out of.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- 'The hills.'- Wow!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- They're never going to make this. - Holy moly.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Oh, that's them. - Get it red. Get it red!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Bye, fellas.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55'The race was ours cos they just had legs
0:08:55 > 0:08:57'and we had sport mode.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Oh, man, it's like Six Flags! Hold on! Your wheel, dude. Your wheel.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08'The hills turned out to be fun and we were back in the lead.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11'But Rutledge was easily distracted.'
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Look at that.- What? - The car shut off.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Foot's on the brake, I put it in neutral, we're at traffic lights, car shuts off.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- So we're saving gas. - Yes. So maybe that is kind of cool.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- And it starts up when to step on the clutch?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30'Downhill, the 12-year-olds had the advantage.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:35'Uphill, we had the edge. Or we would have
0:09:35 > 0:09:39'if Rutledge didn't stop every time he found something he liked about the car.'
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Check this out. It's got hill assist.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47Watch this. Take my foot off the brake, the car doesn't slide. Then we go.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54'I was loving the CRZ. It was the perfect car for a city like San Francisco.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58'And I mean that in a good way. We were attacking hills, spinning tyres,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01'whilst still getting around 30 miles per gallon.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06'This was a race and I was going to win it in a hybrid.'
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- I'm sure.- Where? - Right here, right in front of you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- Hey, Adam...- OK, OK.- ..the shortest distance between two points... - Is a straight line.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Not this!- You're really not helping.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Oh, they're behind us!- Well, don't let them get in front of us.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30They're hitting the car!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32They went down the stairs!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Man!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44'The bikes were just ahead of us, but we were leaving the hills.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49'And the finish line at Fort Point was only a mile and a half away.'
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Look, look! Bridge in fog. - Yep, there it is.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58'Our confidence was at an all-time high.' We're going 35. There's no way they can go that fast.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Look at that wind! - Wow! Look at the kites!
0:11:06 > 0:11:07There.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Take the hill. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I don't see them.- Come on! - Come on, come on.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Don't look to the right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:37 > 0:11:42You guys got absolutely beat down by the BMX Bandits.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- Yeah.- First off, they are mountain bikers and they are some of the best in the world.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Second, it was in San Francisco. They need to rename it "The City Of Stop Signs." Ridiculous.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56The car did everything it was supposed to do. There's nothing wrong with it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00It's everything great that the original CRX was.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's got the HF, that's the econ for the good mileage.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08The normal, which was like the DX. And then the sport, which was the SI. This is a hybrid was attitude.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Like RuPaul. - LAUGHTER
0:12:11 > 0:12:13The CRX was just better at all that stuff.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The HF got 50 miles to the gallon instead of 37.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21And on the other side, the SI was actually, like, a quick car that you wanted to have.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- This I don't think has any of that. - Well, you're getting all three of those cars for one low price.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- And they all suck. - LAUGHTER
0:12:31 > 0:12:38Did you know that in the US, the used car business is a third of a trillion dollar business every single year?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Now that is a lot of cash, and it gave our producers an idea.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Could they turn us into used car salesmen to get a piece of that action?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49To find out, we took £3,000 of our own money and bought a used car
0:12:49 > 0:12:51which we would then try to sell at a profit.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Whoever made the most money was the winner. Simple. Or so we thought.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00'Glendale, California
0:13:00 > 0:13:04'may not be what you would call a classically beautiful part of America.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07'But they've got the boulevard of cars.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10'60 dealerships in just ten blocks.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15'That's more toothy smiles per mile than the Great Barrier Reef.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20'It would be the perfect place for us to learn the used car trade and make some cash.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24'This is Bobby. He's a used car salesman.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27'He was also naive enough, I mean, kind enough
0:13:27 > 0:13:29'to let us use his lot as our base.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31'This was going to be easy!'
0:13:31 > 0:13:35So I'm in a competition to sell more used cars than Adam and Tanner
0:13:35 > 0:13:39and I've got tons of variety here and let me tell you why I'm going to win.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Because I've been flipping cars my entire life.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Ever since I could drive, it was, "How much can I pay for that and how much can I sell it for?"
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But selling used cars is all about knowing your market.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So let's pick this car. This is a Mazda3.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56It's a good car, it's sporty, economical. So who would I sell that to?
0:13:56 > 0:14:02Well, it's not a huge car, so I would say someone under six feet tall with short children.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The United States. Germany.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Japan. It's Epcot Centre!
0:14:08 > 0:14:11The BMW 3 Series - for girls with wealthy parents.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15If you're the kind of person who's confused about everything in your life,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I've got the answer for you. Dodge Caliber.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21If you're having a mid-life crisis on a budget, this is your car.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You know, if Elvis had lived, he'd drive a CTS.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28You want incognito? I have it. The Chevy Malibu.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Looks like a rent-a-car. You know why? It was!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34If you're a middle-aged man with an over-controlling wife,
0:14:34 > 0:14:382005 Mini Cooper, reduced, best price, under 40,000 miles.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Look at that price. 6,999. And that's just one year in maintenance.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- HORN TOOTS - Hey! We're selling everything.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51'We sat down with Bobby, who gave us some of his trade secrets.'
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- This is a right-now business.- Yeah. - Cos once they leave here, there's at least about 100 dealerships.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Your odds of getting them back are not very good.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05So once you find out their needs and wants, then you just focus on those.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09When you go in the back, "Let me talk to my manager," there's nobody there, right?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- No, there's somebody there.- Bobby! - It's usually the next room...- Bobby!
0:15:13 > 0:15:19- There's someone there.- You don't go to the bathroom, come back, "Sorry, nothing I can do"?- Sometimes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23When I look at you, I notice two things. The pen and the Bluetooth.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Will those make me appear important?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Cos to me, it says, "This guys sells cars".
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The pen is just a writing utensil.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Does promotion work? Like a promotion... Free hotdogs, let's say.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43That seems to bring people in all the time. Action creates action, you know?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Action creates action.- Mm-hm. - Action creation action.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- What's some other lingo we need to know?- There is an ass for every seat.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54There's an ass for every seat.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- That's what you should... - Or a lot of ass for one seat.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03'First things first, we needed cars to sell.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06'However, Bobby's were way too expensive for us.'
0:16:07 > 0:16:12'But he told us that there was a car auction going on where we could find some real gems.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15'It wasn't quite what we were expecting.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19'Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this was not.'
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is cash only.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You must come and pay in full for your vehicles by 2pm.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37'It turned out that most of these cars had been involved in crimes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42'The good news was, the cars started at 350.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45'The bad news was that none of them were very good.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49'So we needed to save some cash to fix them up and to market them,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52'or at least find a way of distracting potential buyers.'
0:16:52 > 0:16:57An old Prelude. Has keys, will run.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Automatic.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04High school graduation ribbons on the dash, that's so sad.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Ooh. Now, see, this one's got an added bonus.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09There's two baby seats in the back.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I like the Pontiac. It's clean. Look at the interior.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Nice and clean, no cigarettes, no cigarette burns, no bullet holes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Wow. They haven't even taken the CDs out of this thing.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26That's about all it's worth, though, is the ABBA CD in the back seat.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31The Lexus I like, the Pontiac I like. But they all go late.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- I've got to find something.- They always put the better ones late. - I need something early.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Now we're talking.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44914. So this replaced the 356, you know, as the Porsche.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Wasn't the most popular car. Looks like maybe it burned a little bit, but...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Wow. This is rough.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Are you really looking for a car? - Yeah.- No kidding? - Yeah, I got to find one.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Something like this, what would you pay for it?- No more than a grand.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- So if you paid 1,000 bucks for this, cleaned it up, what would you sell it for?- About 15.- OK.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09The nice thing about it, though, is it's simple. Porsches are simple.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14It's just got a little four-cylinder in there, not a lot of electronics, nothing to go wrong.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16This thing could be a runner.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I also like this Acura. The body looks clean.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23The interior... The front seat's clean.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I can't see how many miles on it, but it does run.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think this is the car that I want.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31But...
0:18:31 > 0:18:37..too many people are looking at this car right now. I need it to spit some flame or some smoke or something.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Make some gestures like that, like it's bad. Like this.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Er, I think a couple of people saw that.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51All right, I'm going for the Lexus. I tried to throw everyone off the trail.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I know it's the last one, and that's risky,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57but it's the nicest car here, and I need a nice car to sell.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Ladies and gentlemen, here we go...
0:18:59 > 0:19:04'The auction was just beginning. It was going to be a while before our cars were up.'
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Sold. 620 going twice. Last chance. Sold.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10400, going twice.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- 'Finally it was time for my car to be auctioned off.'- Porsche 914.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18'I had hoped I'd convince other interested people that it was a dog.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22'We only had three grand each and I needed most of that to fix up my car and market it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26'Early signs were bad.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28'Clearly my plan hadn't worked.'
0:19:28 > 0:19:311,550.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3316. 16.
0:19:33 > 0:19:351,650. 1,650. 17.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- 17. 1,750.- These guys are just going freaking crazy on it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:421,800. Going to go once.
0:19:42 > 0:19:441,800 going twice. Last chance.
0:19:44 > 0:19:471,850. 1,850 going to go once.
0:19:47 > 0:19:491,850 going twice. Sold.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- 1,850.- Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:541,850, are you kidding me?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- How did it go? I didn't see. - Er, I bought it.- At?- Great!
0:19:58 > 0:20:05- 1,850.- American?- Yeah, not Canadian. - Wow! That's a lot of money. Who was doing all the bidding?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- I don't know. It was like a dance party around the thing. - We were behind you.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- It was hard for the guy to see our bids.- Cos I was up at 1,600. - You were bidding?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- It's a great car! - That was you, you bastards!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17'The Acura was up next.'
0:20:17 > 0:20:191987 Acura Legend.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23White in colour. Brought in for unlicensed driving.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I have a 400 opening bid.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28410. Looking for 420. 420. 430. 440.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- 440. 450. 460. 470. 480. 490. - 'Things were looking good.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37'My 1987 Acura Legend managed to slip under everyone's radar.'
0:20:37 > 0:20:41870 going twice. Last chance. Sold, 870.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45'Adam and I both had cars, but Rutledge had put all of his eggs
0:20:45 > 0:20:49'in an 18-year-old Lexus basket. It was the last lot sale of the day.'
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Lot number 51, 1992 Lexus LS400.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56'He has to get the car at any cost to stay in the competition.'
0:20:56 > 0:20:59450. 5. 550.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- 6. 650.- 'Unfortunately for him,
0:21:03 > 0:21:09'he wasn't the only one who was interested in driving around in an outdated Japanese Mercedes.'
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- 950. - 'As the price continued to rise, I was there to provide support.'
0:21:14 > 0:21:17You have to get this car! You have to get this!
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- 2,350.- That's it. Go! - That's too much.
0:21:22 > 0:21:272,350 going once. 2,350 going twice. Last chance. Sold. 2,350.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Ooh!- 'Finally, we had our cars.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35'Rutledge had blown through almost all his money.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38'Tanner spent 1,850 on his toy sports car.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41'And me, I only spent 870,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46'which meant I had 1,230 to fix it up and promote it.'
0:21:46 > 0:21:51I'll be honest, I've never been a Lexus owner before, and it feels good. I feel fancy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54You shouldn't be an owner for too long. You have to sell it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I think the important thing to do now is get the hell out of this neighbourhood.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03'The auction rules dictated that we couldn't drive our cars before we bought them.'
0:22:03 > 0:22:07'So the 15-mile drive to the lot was the first chance we had
0:22:07 > 0:22:09'to get to know our investments better.'
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Wow.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18This is sketchy.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I can't find first gear or reverse.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I'm telling you right now, I cannot believe we're going to get on the freaking highway.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29The air conditioning works! Shift's pretty smooth.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Ride's pretty nice. It's comfortable.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'm going to make a fortune.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38'At £870, my car seemed a steal.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41'And there were a few unexpected extras thrown in.'
0:22:41 > 0:22:43She smoked.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49She smoked pot.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Oh, yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:22:53 > 0:22:58'Over in the Lexus, the extra £1,500 Rutledge spent on his granddad car
0:22:58 > 0:23:01'made the drive a little less eventful.'
0:23:01 > 0:23:05It feels great! They put a lot of effort into this car.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09They started working on the idea of the LS in 1983.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14The project took five years and I think it cost just over a billion dollars.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18That's a lot of engineering just to make sure the car did well on the American market.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Come on, baby. Up to speed we go.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32This is so dangerous. A giant freaking gas rig almost running over me.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36You know, you never realise how big the other cars are out on the road
0:23:36 > 0:23:41till you're driving a small one. Good lord, we are going to die.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46No, no, stay there, Mr Motorcycle Cop, stay there.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Why you got to get out now?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51There's a joint in the ashtray and it's not mine.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I swear to God, officer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- Thank you. - There are a lot of great things about this car, don't get me wrong.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09It's known to be one of the better handling 70s sports cars out there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Part of it is the mid engine. The engine is packed right in here.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's a boxer engine, so it sits really low,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18it's really small and flat and lightweight.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And the car only weighs 2,100 pounds completely wet.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Performance-wise, it's really not bad.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Take away the fact that it doesn't have a transmission or first gear or reverse...
0:24:33 > 0:24:37..and you've got a car that you might be able to sell.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43'We made it back to the car dealership where we had the night to make our cars more saleable.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:50'Sales day had arrived and now it was time to sit down with Bobby, our professional car salesman,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52'and lay out our marketing plans.'
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- It is a sedan, it's a family car. - Mm-hm.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I thought, "OK, I've got to reach everybody" so I'm going to have a barbecue.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05- Everybody loves barbecue and it always gets everyone's attention. - Second, free pony rides.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Nothing wrong with that, either. - Are the guys on lot going to clean up the poop?- Yeah, probably not.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- What if I give them barbecue? - They might actually do it for that.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20I was thinking about bringing some models out. What do you think about that?
0:25:20 > 0:25:25I think it's a good idea. It'll get a whole bunch of guys on the lot.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28By the same token, you may piss off a whole bunch of women.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32But as long as you accomplish what you want to accomplish, that's all that matters, right?
0:25:32 > 0:25:39- Which is...- To sell the car. - Yeah. With the models around, I might forget that.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- So I want a big advertising, marketing strategy.- OK.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- I want to get the guys that spin the signs.- Yeah, a sign spinner could work.- And an airplane.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Kind of a big airplane pulling a banner.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58So what if they get something they could do everyday, like a reward for buying a car.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You know, like, "Buy a car...something."
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Just to get them in. And then I'll steer them to the Acura.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- That could definitely work. Good luck.- I appreciate.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10'Time to sell some cars.'
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Gentlemen, I am, er, completely perplexed by what you are wearing,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18but this is what a car salesman wears if he wants to sell cars.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're like a salesman, only smaller.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Thank... OK.- Like a shoe salesman.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Thank you. I just got these shoes, actually.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- You remember that sad little white 914 that had potential on its own? - Yes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Well, feast your eyes...on this.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39- It's a sad orange 914.- No, this is excitement with some wheels on it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42What did you do besides paint it a ridiculous orange?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46It's painted in a factory orange colour that did come in the '74 914.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48It's got a new steering wheel and a new shift knob.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- That's all you did?- That's all I had to do. It is just a cherry.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Why is it pointed that way? - For convenience.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- Really?- Yeah.- That seems weird. We just backed our cars on.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06- Why wouldn't you want to show people the front?- It doesn't have reverse. - What?- It doesn't have reverse.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11- It has no reverse?- Yeah. - You're going to sell a car with no reverse?- At least it's orange.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- I can coast it down the ramp. I figure we're fine.- That's your plan?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18All right, peace, Gandhi, what do you have under your cover?
0:27:18 > 0:27:24- Are those wood shoes?- Yes, they are, my friend. It's part of the overall genius of my marketing concept
0:27:24 > 0:27:27that will sell this car.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Behold! - BELLS JINGLE
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Huh?
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- It's green and bells.- It's green and bells. This is it! Serenity, my friend! Stress-free motors.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44All I had to do was paint it green, the colour of the Heart Chakra, clean out the inside,
0:27:44 > 0:27:49take the tampons out of the glove compartment, get rid of the drugs in the ashtray and we're ready to go.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- I'll sell this thing like that.- I hate to tell you guys I trumped you,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57but we know I bought the nicest car at the auction. We know that much.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04- Well, you know it. - The most expensive car.- But wait till you see...the stealth Lexus!
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- It's flat black!- You ruined it! - It's like the stealth bomber.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12You're the only one of us that bought a decent car to begin with and you trashed it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17- What are you talking about? I threw a great set of wheels on there. - He spray-painted it!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Tinted the front turntables, the tail lights. - There's hair in the paint, Rutledge.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- I spent a little bit more... - It's not his.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28..on the car than I should have, so I didn't have money for a paint job, so I had to rattle-can it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33- What exactly is your market for this thing?- I'm going after the family.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37I don't want to give it away, but let's just say it's free
0:28:37 > 0:28:39and it has four legs.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45- It's 9am. You know what that means. - Car time, baby. - Doors are open, time to sell.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48'And time to put our marketing plans into action.'
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Stress-free motors, it's supposed to be effortless, so spin the sign effortlessly.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Big smile! That's it!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Free pony rides!
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Test drive a car and you get a free pony ride.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Does that say, "Buy a car, punch a clown"?
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Yes. It's brilliant. Think about it. People will read that and go, "What's that all about?"
0:29:10 > 0:29:13'And Tara was working the barbecue grill.'
0:29:14 > 0:29:17'My marketing plan was a bit more obvious.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19'But got results.'
0:29:19 > 0:29:22OK, I'll bring Tanner in for you right now.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25'And got me my first customer of the day.'
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I'm Tanner, by the way. So this is it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33The keys are in it. Let me just grab something out of the showroom and climb on in.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Ooh, that was frightening.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01And now it's time to put a big star in our small car.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Our guest tonight, whether he's making a blockbuster film or a hit TV show,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10the first question he asks is, "What kind of car am I going to get to drive?"
0:30:10 > 0:30:13And now he's here on Top Gear. Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Allen.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Oh. Ahh.- First off, welcome.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Thanks.- You are car guy royalty.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- This is huge to have you here. We're excited.- I'm delighted to be here.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- I get to drive cars all morning! - Yeah, what a good gig!- Great gig!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39A lot of people associate you with hot rods because of Home Improvement.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- On the show...- Well, they're fools!
0:30:42 > 0:30:48- They're liars! - Well, on the show, you guys built the '33 Ford Roadster.- This is true.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- A '46 Ford convertible?- Ohh!
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- And then your wife Jill on the show, you crushed her Nomad.- I didn't.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59We got more letters over that... We had 50,000 letters and guys calling,
0:30:59 > 0:31:05- "That's- BLEEP.- We're going to kill you. We're going to hunt you down..."- For a Nomad.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- I go, "Number one, fools, I'm not an idiot. I own that car."- Right.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12It was a Bel Air that we went to a junk yard and painted to look like it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15We're not going to smash a Nomad.
0:31:15 > 0:31:21I gave that with a signature, by the way, with Leno, to the firemen after 9/11. We auctioned that off.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- How cool. - APPLAUSE
0:31:24 > 0:31:29Growing up in Detroit, what did Woodward Avenue represent to you guys?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well, it's a mile... If you haven't been to Woodward Avenue,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36they have the Woodward Cruise every year, I'd go if you like cars.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's a straight road from Detroit to Pontiac, Michigan,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41literally, every mile there's a light.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46It's a drag strip and 60 Minutes did a story on it,
0:31:46 > 0:31:51but before that story, it was the best drag strip in the country cos it's literal, real racing
0:31:51 > 0:31:55and the better racers are the guys who can power-shift, no clutch.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00That was the best time to grow up, because all of our dads worked at the car companies.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05They'd go, "What's winning out there?" "Man, that 383 Mopar is killing everybody."
0:32:05 > 0:32:08"Yeah? Well, we got something at Chevy. Try this new 427."
0:32:08 > 0:32:12They were pumping out hot rods and letting us drive them. It was wonderful.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15396 Porcupine Head Chevelle, that was the one that was...
0:32:15 > 0:32:20That killed everybody. And then 455 Goat, eventually that became the king.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25And 383 Roadrunner, a guy had a 383 that was the fastest damn car.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Now, you've had a lot of people build cars for you.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Right now, you're building a '55 Ford Customline.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- It's on its way to being gorgeous. - On its way. It looks a little geeky and homely there.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41I'm going to put a jet black paint job on it and it's got Thunderbird parts,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44a GT40 motor, a custom race chassis.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48It's going to be a little lighter than the current GT40 with more horsepower.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51And it's going to get great gas mileage. Not!
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- LAUGHTER - I feel terrible. Every time I bring this up,
0:32:54 > 0:33:00I have an older daughter, she says, "Jeez, Dad, you have anything that gets over 11 miles per gallon?"
0:33:00 > 0:33:05I went, "Er..." I have an 1180 horsepower HEMI
0:33:05 > 0:33:09that I got in a '56 Ford pickup. It gets 0.9 miles per gallon.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- LAUGHTER - 0.9!
0:33:12 > 0:33:16I have a shop in Burbank, the gas station is a mile away.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I can't even get it to the gas station. - LAUGHTER
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- So how did the Suzuki compare? - Oh, I don't know.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26I don't want to offend Suzuki cos they make great bikes and I'm sure they worked hard
0:33:26 > 0:33:31and this car is an affordable thing, but it was embarrassing to drive up and see what I was going to drive.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37- You thought we were kidding? - Kidding, then I get Serg or Spike or Sludge, the faceless guy.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Horribly disfigured. He took the helmet off in the car.
0:33:40 > 0:33:46- The Stig...- Yeah, he's got three eyes and his nose, he was hit. Terribly disfigured, yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Well, do you guys want to see his lap?- ALL: Yeah!
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Let's check it out.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58A good launch in the Suzuki, into second.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Easy on the throttle, easy. Don't try and kill anybody.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- How dumb can a person look? - LAUGHTER
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- You loved that helmet, huh? You look really good in that.- Geeky!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12You think the helmet makes you look like a bigger geek, or the car?
0:34:12 > 0:34:17No, me. Just, I look at pictures of me and I go, "Who's that old man?"
0:34:18 > 0:34:21BLEEPING / LAUGHTER
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Pretty smooth.- Oh, throttle, baby!
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- HE LAUGHS A little wide.- BLEEP!
0:34:33 > 0:34:39OK, heading out on the back stretch. What kinds of speeds do you think you saw there?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- About 50, 55. - HE LAUGHS
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Around the hay bales, it was like Alfred Hitchcock, all these birds out there. What was that all about?
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- The crows loved you out there. - There was crow crap everywhere.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Here you are turning into the esses.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Looks really nice. All right, coming into the last turn here.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- Really pushing it, and across the line! - APPLAUSE
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- Some pretty good times up there. Where do you think you're going? Are you heading to the top?- No.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20You think you're going to be underneath Buzz Aldrin?
0:35:20 > 0:35:25No. I won't be under Buzz, but I needed to know what I had to get at. That's easier for me.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- Tim Allen, you did it in one minute...- Yeah.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33..44.0!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- That means the other Detroit boy, Kid Rock... - Kid Rock. This is horrible.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48We could loan you a Suzuki and you could practice but then you'd be driving a Suzuki.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'll buy one. I'll buy my own airbase.
0:35:50 > 0:35:56- There we go. There we go. - I will beat them!- Let's give it up for Tim Allen one more time.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Tonight, we're seeing if we can cut it as used car salesmen.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08So far we've each bought a car from auction, given it a quick makeover
0:36:08 > 0:36:12and come up with a marketing strategy designed to attract the right buyer.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Yep, so far, so good. Now all we have to do is sell them.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21So, Dad, you guys in the market for a new family sedan?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25You may not want to lick that as I just sprayed that yesterday, buddy.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29How about this, you guys buy the car, talk to your dad,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I will let you take the pony for a weekend?
0:36:33 > 0:36:39'The near death experience broke the ice between me and Patrick, and he was ready to make an offer.'
0:36:39 > 0:36:42We could sell it now for 2,900.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46We're a little ways off, I think, of what we are looking for.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48OK, how far off are we?
0:36:48 > 0:36:53Well, I would be looking to spend about... No more than ten percent of that.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56So 290?
0:36:56 > 0:37:00He loves the pony. You love the car.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- What do you say, do you want to make a deal?- 'Rutledge was starting to feel the strain.'
0:37:06 > 0:37:11It feels like you're saying you don't like me and my tie and my car is terrible.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Your tie's OK. I'm worried about the shirt.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17'But activity on the lot was starting to pick up.'
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- What do you think of that? - Looks pretty good? Not bad at all.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25I like this. So you finance bad credit, good credit...
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Good credit, bad credit, it doesn't matter, I'm sure we can work it out.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- There's an ass for every seat, Diego. Don't be afraid to be that ass.- OK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- How's it going?- Good, how are you? - Good. I'm Tanner. - I'm Todd, nice to meet you.
0:37:39 > 0:37:46- OK, so we're going to turn right.- So this does need a lot of work here.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I want to show you this gorgeous black Lexus over here.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52We are ready to go, my friend.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I like it already, I like it already.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57It's not too pretentious, it doesn't say, "Hey, look at me."
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It says, "I got a Lexus but I don't need to brag about it."
0:38:00 > 0:38:06'We each had a potential buyer. Now it was time to close the deal.'
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- What if I told you you could have that car...- Mm-hm.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12..for that price?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Take a look at that number. Tell me how that sounds to you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- This car we have listed at 3,300. - Mm-hm.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- What number would relieve stress? - What are you comfortable paying?
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- And what's the number we're at? - With the quirks and everything, I can do 1,750.- 999.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- That's only 1,200. - Cash! Cash.- 1,200 cash.
0:38:33 > 0:38:40'While Adam and Rutledge were pushing papers, it was time to close the deal with my ultimate incentive package.'
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- How are you?- Good, how are you? Are you buying a car?- Er...
0:38:45 > 0:38:49I can't do it for 1,200. Thanks for stopping by.
0:38:49 > 0:38:56- Excellent.- Pretty eyes. - Oh, thank you.- Are you from here? - Yeah, round here in LA...- Nice!
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- 1,699 is not bad but here's what I had in mind. - You want the pen again?- Yes.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06- You girls are looking good, I'll give you that, yeah.- We would look even nicer in your car.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10If you can do this number, it's a done deal.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Right now. I'll go to the bank and get you that money.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17How about another 50, and we can close it up?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19How about we split it? 25.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- I'll take it.- We got a deal. - We got a deal.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27You guys need to be making the deals here. Exactly!
0:39:27 > 0:39:30'The girls had done their thing.'
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Thank you. 'It was time to make the deal.'
0:39:33 > 0:39:36So you were at 1,750 as is,
0:39:36 > 0:39:41I say make it 1,900 as is and it's yours.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Let's split it, 1,850.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- Done.- All right.- Yes!
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- APPLAUSE - That's pretty impressive.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56Now, they wanted me to inform you that I disposed of the marijuana in my car immediately.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02- OK, so I bought my car for 1,850. - Mm-hm.- I spent the rest of the three grand on the paint,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05the steering wheel, the shift knob and the girls.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10I was left over with, what is that? 1,150, I guess is what I lost.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14And you lost money? I bought mine for 870.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I put 536 into paint and marketing, and I sold to for 1,450.
0:40:18 > 0:40:24- I made 44.- Wow! That's pretty good! - APPLAUSE
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- That's pretty impressive. - That's pretty good.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- What?- Hm?- And...
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- I wasn't as much concerned with the profit.- Really, Mr Krylon?
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Well, let's see, I paid 2,350 for the car and then I'd spent about
0:40:42 > 0:40:46400 or 500 in crap.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51You know, all told, at the end of the day, I got...
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- ..no money for it. - LAUGHTER
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- I'll give you 20 bucks.- You'll give me how much?- 20 bucks, 25.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03You know that's weird, sir, cos we're going to sell this car today, right here. Look in your wallet,
