"This was $315,000?" someone exclaimed. "Are you kidding me?"
The room fell silent as everyone struggled to understand the situation. "Nothing makes sense!" someone cried out.
It seemed that no one had gained anything from this experience. The sentiment of frustration and disappointment hung in the air.
A voice chimed in, "I told you." The tone was laced with a hint of sarcasm.
The emotions were palpable as the group grappled with what had transpired.
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- This was $315,000?Are you kidding me?- Nothing makes sense!- No one wins here!- Yeah, I told you.You're gonna walk away beinglike, "That was terrible."- Car prices are stillabsolutely out of hand,and today we're gonna see how good we areat guessing actual pricesof actual cars for saleat actual dealerships.I'm joined by car view experts Thomasand James from Throttle House.Also, Jeremiah's here for some reason.I'm James, and this is- "The D-List."- We're going on tour!- June 10th through the 16th.- You can go and get yourtickets at Donutlive.com.- Do it.- We're hitting five cities inthe south west United States.- Get your ticket, Donutlive.com.And let's make this a blast.- I'm pretty sure Maxhas put together a listof actual cars, actuallyfor sale at dealerships,and each time is gonnacollectively guess the price.We're doing "Price is Right" rules,which means if you go overby a dollar, you're out.- I've never played this game before.I don't know "Price is Right" very well.And did you say you've never won?- I've never won.- I have also never won. Have you won?- Oh yeah, I've won every time.- Yes!- We're on the same teambecause our name is the same.One mind, one heart.- So between the two ofyou, you make one brain?- Correct.- That's one winner brain.- Next, first car.- Our first caris a Toyota GR86 Premiumbeing sold by a dealerin Arlington, Virginia.This is a brand new car.It's steel gray, witha manual transmission,and the MSRP is supposed to be $32,199.- I bet it's 64 grand.- You're crap at this game.- I got a feeling, I got a hunch.- I'm gonna trust you on the first one.- Okay.- The first one.- I think it's 20k more.- 20k more?- Yeah.- Really?- Yeah.- What's the weather like there?- Yeah, it's okay.I think the weather inVirginia is probably like...It's seasonal.- You know what? 20k more.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Okay, we're gonna go 52,199.- We'll go a dollar.- That wasn't what we discussed.(all laugh)- I'm a wild card James, try and keep up.- Hat's coming off.- The James' are already falling out.- So final answer?- One dollar.(all laugh)- The actual listprize for the GR86 was$42, 199.- We win!- Dammit.- See?

I'm counting.Four? Oh, crap.(calm music)- All right, our next vehicle isa 2022 Ford Maverick XLT inOrange County, California.This is all wheel drive, it's ecoboost,and it's painted hot pepper red metallic.The MSRP should be $29,310.- Everyone wants thisvehicle for some reason.- I like the idea of it.- It's the modern day you.- Is it?- To you. Yeah, you.- What are you saying?- You.I think 41.- 41?- American dollars?- Yeah.- Okay. Yeah.- $40,999.- Okay, yeah.- I think they're going for more.- Really?- Yeah, I do. I honestly-- Are you feeling brave?- I think they're going for more.- Okay.- But you know what?I already got off to a little rocky startwith a bad guess, so...- You've never been behind.- You guys did $40,999.- Yeah.- We're doing $41,000.We're going a dollar over.- Pretty scumbaggy.- I like it.(all laugh)- Are you sure you weren'traised in a dealership?- All right. You ready?- All right, sothe actual list price is$48,305.- Oh!Oh!- Really?- That's a lot of money.- That's a lot of money.- So this is a Fordand apparently, the consumeris not the only personwho's getting sick of these crimes.Auto manufacturers arestarting to fight back.So Ford, GM, Kia, Hyundaiand Genesis have allthreatened to stop sending carsto dealerships if theydon't stop taking advantageof the American people.- Amen.- Amen. There you go.- And Canadians.- This is a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime.- This is the secondfastest Toyota you can buy.- That's not hyperbole, by the way.- Maybe second quickest.- Second quickest.- Sorry.- MSRP should be $49,000.- Like, the problem is is that like,I wanna do a big number over 49,but then when I say a bignumber in my head over 49,it's like the price of aC-class Mercedes or something.You're going way up there really quick,so it doesn't make any sense.- Every time we play this game,we're like, bummed for the rest of the daybecause we finally have cool jobsand we still can't afford cars.- Oh dude, I'm goingin to the 80s, I think.- No! No!- That's a hundred thousand dollar car.- There's no way anyonewould buy that for $80,000.- I'm telling you right now-- I think you should guess in the 80s.- Shut up, James. 72.I'll meet you at 74 nine.- Okay, 74 nine.- All right, yeah.- 74 nine? 74,901.(all laugh)- You goddamn (beep).- It's just a taste ofyour own medicine, mate.- The actual list price was $96,442.- I told you, that's ahundred thousand dollar car.- No it wasn't $100,000.- Nothing makes sense!- Yeah, we technically all lose.- Yeah, no one wins here.- I told you, you're gonnawalk away being like,"That was terrible."- Seriously, do not ever buy that carfor a hundred thousand dollars.- It's still a RAV4.- That one gave me heart burn, dude.- Our next vehicle is aFord Bronco, Big Band Edition.- $250,000.(men laugh)- Now this is notthe highest trim option.It's got the 2.3 liter eco-boost.It's got four doors and it'sfor sale in Buda, Texas.MSRP, $42,000.- We just talked about ahundred thousand dollar RAV4.- Nothing is off the table anymore.- Nothing is off the table.- I tell you, at least 20,000.- But I already knew that, 'cause...- Yeah, one mind.- For your benefit.- Hive mind.We can communicate with our minds.$68,000.- Oh, all I hear is a bunch of pansies,because I'm going sky high now.I've learned my lesson.- You think so?- I've learned my lesson.These are sought after.Chip shortage, difficultto get.

Like, 180?- Yeah, I was thinking 180.Like, 180 something for sure.- Okay, let's go 183.- 183.- I kind of wanna take this sad energyand turn it spiteful anddo the one dollar over.- Yeah, 183 one.- What a bunch of buttholes.- I hate you guys, seriously.- What a bunch of just buttholes.- Absolute buttholes.- It's not me, it's the dealerships,it's bad energy.- The actual price, $198,000.- Ooh!- (indistinct)- See how happy they are?I can't believe that.- It's ridiculous.- That's ridiculous.- For our next car,isn't being sold in theUnited States of America.Actually, Brandford, Canada.- Okay, here we go.- Interesting.- This is a 2019 Corvette Stingray.It is pre-owned with 15,000 kilometers.It's black with red calipers,and it has an active performance exhaust.MSRP when new would have been about$73,000 Canadian dollars.- How many American dollars is 74,000?- It's like, 1.3, so it would be like,high 50s, low 60s.- You know exchange rate changes daily.- Oh shut up.(tense music)Nobody asked you.(all laugh)Nobody asked you.I don't remember asking you.- James, James. Listen to James.- Guys, get on the sameJames brain level, okay?You should already know-- I'm talking to James!- This is my alter-ego.This is angry James.I'm a happy guy.(all laugh)- Are we guessing in American or Canadian?- Canadian! God, yes, Canadian!- Okay.- Just apply it as aratio. Just do percentages.- Okay.- I mean, James, let'sjust do percentages.- 73, I bet it's $90,000.- Yeah, go on then.- You think that? I don't know.- No, it's more than that.- You think it's more?- Unfortunately. Under a hundred though.- Under a hundred?- Yeah.- Okay.96?- Yeah.- Yep.- Okay, 96.- Whoever wins this gamegets a million dollars.- Yeah, that's one RAV4 Prime.- Wait, what?- Actual price,$76,988 Canadian dollars.- So we went too high.- Thank God.- It's a used T7 Stingray.- Our next car is notnormally sold at dealerships,but a dealership in Lincoln, Nebraskagot hold of this Rivian R1T Launch Editionwith 164 miles on it.MSRP would have been $80,000.- I bet 120 grand.- Unfortunately, you're very wrong.- Really?- These are incredibly desired.No one owns them other than an employee.I would go 189,999.- I would say it's double.I would say it's 160k.I don't think it's that much.- Aah...Listen, I made the call lasttime and it didn't pay off,so I'm gonna leave this to you.I would say that it'sprobably more than you think,because as James number two said.- No.- That's right, you're James number two.- We are James.- We are a collective James.- Okay, as one half of the James said,these are highly desired,and I don't think any of themhave actually been deliveredto real owners yet,because every timewe've ever run into one,it's like "Oh yeah,no, I work for Rivian."- Oh man, that's good.- Why is that Rivian upthere? What's it doing there?- I don't know.- It's like an employee droveit, "Oh, I didn't make it,"and they left it at the dealership.- 155,00.- The actual price was(tense music)149 nine.(Jeremiah grunts)- This is a JeepWrangler Rubicon 392.This has 470 horsepower.It's being sold in Saco, Maine,with an MSRP of $77,590.- $110,000.- 110?- Thousand dollars.- That's a pretty good guess.- I know, Jeremiah, that's why we made it.- But I think it was a wrong guess.- What? My guess?- Yeah, I think it was wrong.- Why?- I think it's more than that.But I'd say at least 115, 110.No, they said 110.- So after all of that,your guess is our guess?- Let's go 119.- 119.- Actual price, $108,000.- Both over.- Well our next car isn'tfrom North America at all.This is a GR Yaris, 2020, used,from Letchworth, United Kingdom.- That's where you're from, Letchworth.- Yep.The first place in the UK he names,that's where I'm from.- This has 10,000 miles on itand it has the Circuit Pack,which adds stiffersuspension, 18 inch wheels,and torsen differentials.MSRP, £33,000.- So I've driven thiscar, lived with this car.- Really?- It's good, gets a lotof looks, very desired.But England is not ascrazy as North Americawith used prices.Unless this particular place is, you know,playing silly buggers,it's probably high 30s, low 40s.- Is that in pounds?- Yeah, yeah. High 30s, low 40s, pounds.- £42,000.- I'm going with thevariable that is Max here,and Max sometimes likes to throw in onesthat are exactly the MSRP- Oh my God.when it comes to used stuff.- Oh my God, oh my God.- Ooh.- So I'm thinking...And I'm trying to read his face over here.- This is dirty.- Smiling a little bit.- I'm getting a good vibethat maybe we should say 33.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.Oh look, he's trying tohold his face straight.- That's not fair. Youguys have a history.- Well, James is just...- He has also been here.Half of you have been here.- He's influenced by this James.- I work with Max a lot.And I have no idea what's goingon behind those cold eyes.- MSRP. We're gonna guess MSRP.- Yaris did not sell for MSRP.It sold for £38,333.- I said high 30s.- But we have one final carthat could break the tie.- Oh, we got a tie!(men groan)- The tie breaker, 3-3.- Oh my God, it's likeRedbull Mercedes, dude.- Our last vehicleis a Hummer EV Edition One.Being sold in Oklahoma.It's all white, has three motorsfor a thousand horsepower,an MSRP, $108,000.- This is the one that has a two over it.This is a crazy expensive car.- No, I agree. Yeah.- I would imagine, I would say double.I would maybe even say,maybe 125% mark up.(tense music)- Oh my God.Have you lost your mind, man?- What do you wanna say? 195?- Yep.- Okay.- Yep.- 195,000.- Oh, I feel sick.- I'd like to think thatthe people in Oklahomaare nice enough not to charge that much.- Yeah, right.(all laugh)- Well the people fromOklahoma are OK, right?(tense music)- Oh my God!- Even James hated that.(all laugh)- What do you think, 175?- I think that's maybe still too high.Here's the thing, if they've gone over,why not just go...- A dollar.- Yeah, go a dollar.- We're going a dollar.- Well, this car waslisted for a certain price,but they took $30,000 off.So the actual currentprice for this vehicle$285,000.- Holy (beep)!- What?- Is that what you said? 285?This was $315,000? Are you kidding me?(all laugh)That's insane!- It's so stupid!- That's insane.- Did we win?- Yeah, we won.- Hell yeah!Suck our butts. Suck it.James'.- Okay, this is for saleat Seth Wadley Dealership.This is a call to theOklahoma police department.(all laugh)- We have a criminal, we know his name,we know where he is on aMonday through Friday basis.- Go arrest him.- Get him in cuffs.- My car isofficially back from the dead,so naturally, we have brandnew Boost Creep shirtsto welcome it back.Boost creeps can be scary, I know,but they're perfectly harmless, I promise,so go get your new boostcreeps shirts todayat Donutmedia.com.- Thank you so much forwatching this episodeof "Dealers and EverythingElse" on Donut Media.Thank you guys for being on our video.- Thanks boys.- Where can people see more of you?- Throttlehouse.Just type it in.- Yeah, type it into the thing.- Write it on a piece ofpaper, throw it into the air.- You'll find us.- We'll put a link to oneof their videos right here,and a link to their channel down there.If you want his hat or my shirt,or Jeremiah's shirt, go to Donutmedia.com.I'm really excited aboutour merch.
