princessrosie-83771 Was a fan for many years, enjoyed my personal contacts with Wayne Carini , but I was the last person in our Corvette and Ferrari clubs to watch the show. The objections include: overuse of superlative personal pronoun, inclusion of fees to make sales price look closer to the estimate ,and, the latest episode was the final straw. Congratulations on the sale of the STUTZ, well done and well deserved. But, the forced applause at Sardi's restaurant for the "world shattering announcement" was abysmal. Donating the car to a museum would've been world shattering news not selling it for profit. Shame as now I'm down to only three car shows that I can watch.
scottjtepper As interesting as the show is, it doesn't tell the real story about auctions. We've been told about the 10% premium to the buyer and the 7% to the seller. Are those premiums also charged to volume buyers and sellers like Carini? How about the ins and outs on reserve vs. non reserve cars? What is the cost difference to the seller when he has a reserve car? When won't an auction take a reserve car? Carini also fudges on prices. When he wants a car to sell for a certain amount and it doesn't, he adds on the buyer's premium to bring it up to his estimate.I suppose if Carini or the other big auction customers who show up on Velocity actually told us about with the details they'd lose their favored status as auction customers. So much for reportage.It would be nice if Wayne would learn how to pronounce "concours d'elegance" (there's no "dee" sound in there, Wayne) and stop saying "but yet." The word "yet" doesn't need a "but." Agggh.And one final thing -- despite all the cars Wayne supposedly owns and sells on the show, the cars advertised on his website for sale or that have been sold don't relate at all to the great cars paraded on the show.Bottom line is this is just another "reality" show which is from far reality.
nyjetsfabn I thought I was the only 1 who watched this show that realized Wayne Carini isn't a car enthusiast as he portrays himself to be. Every show does have him know every important person in the business. Every show has him drive and fly to these remote areas where vintage cars are for sale. Every show has a camera on him pace auction floors. Every show has him worry about his profit margins. Is his profit high enough for himself or his clients? The positive of the show is the displays of the rarities of some of the cars. I really like the old man mechanic. He can do anything. Now thats a car guy...The show should be about him. Not Wayne Carini's thirst of $$$ So if you LOVE Car Flipping and making $$$$ this is the show to watch.
newjunkees Wayne is not a car enthusiast...he is a profiteer. He is so full of himself that I wonder if he knows that nobody cares about him or his shop.....if you've ever seen him at a car auction you can see how much he really thinks of himself...ugh. He continues to find cars that he says he has loved all his life and has always" dreamed of owning one ." ever since "he was a kid "and in the next scene he then says... " maybe I can make a decent profit on it." Old ladies whose husbands or dying or recently passed away seems to be his favorite target. I wouldn't mind so much if he stuck to his " find em , fix em, and sell em" mantra. That would be keeping it honest.....but someone at the show seems to want to portray this guy as a do gooder along the way but he somehow just comes across as a pompous smarmy used car dealer.... Sorry Wayne!
