**The Used Car Market: A Baffling Mystery**

Kind: captions

Language: en

"We are still trying to wrap our heads around the used car market," says James, as he introduces himself and his colleagues, Jeremiah, Nolan, and Checkout Donut's new team member.

(yelling) "What?" asks Jeremiah, puzzled by the concept of used cars being sold for thousands of dollars less than their original price. "What?!" echoes Nolan, equally perplexed.

"It's not just a little bit cheaper," explains James. "I'm done, man. It should be a $10,000 car." He shakes his head in disbelief, while Jeremiah chimes in, "A hundred grand?" The team is clearly frustrated by the illogical prices they're about to discover.

**The Challenge**

Today, the Checkout Donut team embarks on a mission to torture themselves (and their viewers) by examining used cars and trying to guess how much they actually sold for. And, as they expect, they will inevitably get "really, really upset."

Their goal is simple: to provide an entertaining and informative experience for their audience, while exploring the complexities of the used car market.

**Meet the Team**

Join James, Jeremiah, Nolan, and Checkout Donut's new team member on this wild ride, as they navigate the ups and downs of the used car world.
