I explored a Chicago auto auction where cars listed as Vandalism damage were actually totaled due to bullet holes. Each car tells a crazy story but one question I kept asking myself was, why were these totaled? Could they be fixed? Ok, that was two questions but watch until the end to see the worst one of all.

What's up guys welcome back to another episode of legit street cars and welcome to a wonderful day here in the chicagoland area? So a lot of you guys know that i live in chicago we're very well known for really good pizza, beautiful skylines, super low crime rate. Wait, no, that's not right! If you guys aren't from here. You know that chicago has a bad reputation for crime, and i've noticed that at the auction we've seen a big uptick in cars totaled out due to vandalism. So i found quite a few very, very interesting.
Vandalism, cars here at one of the largest auctions in the entire country, so we're gon na check them out because some of them, you can't really tell from the pictures why they were even totaled out, so we're gon na do that right now, but first i have One of the no it's the biggest announcement ever coming on my channel and since the youtube community posts only get seen by like one percent of my viewers, i will be making this announcement first on my instagram and facebook page and that's at legit streetcar, so legit Streetcars on facebook and on instagram go follow me. Their huge channel announcement is coming okay, so we have quite a few really cool cars to check out today. This is actually not on my list, an x6m, so this was not totaled out due to vandalism, but let's just take a quick, quick, peek, yeah yeah, that's why it was totaled out, not not the best of condition here. This is seeing better days.
That is for sure, but this guy right here, a 2019 audi q7. So a car that's only two years old, very, very valuable, very difficult to total out - and this was vandalized - and i see this a lot where you really can't tell exactly what total did. So. We have a couple flat tires.
We have something going on right here. This is some body filler, so a little weird, um, okay, okay, okay, all right! I did not see this in the pictures. Guys look at what we have here. That is, a bullet hole.
So this car apparently was shot and, let's see we got going on inside before i step in here, okay looks generally safe, it kind of smells like they were trying to cover something up. If you know what i mean but generally looks pretty clean, we don't have a cut up interior, so some of these vandalized cars will have all of the leather seats just sliced up the dash destroyed the radio, all sorts of stuff. What do we got here? Okay? We got the battery sitting in a little bit of water, yeah, okay, all right, so this thing was shot, but overall i just i mean i don't see just that totaling it out. There's got to be more to this story.
We do not have any keys to try and start this up, so there's a possibility, there's something going on with the engine. It's totally dead. Oh wait! A minute wait! A minute: okay, yeah! This is starting to paint a little bit of a picture here. So this is some kind of patch that someone put on here there's more filler in there, and i wonder if that was to hide something else.
Hang on. Let's see on the inside um, i don't see. Where anything did you guys catch it? There is a hole in the door panel from where the bullet went through, and i totally missed this during the filming of the video and you're gon na notice throughout this video that i have to be kind of a forensic investigator to figure out what has happened To these cars, so if you guys catch something that i didn't definitely let us know in the comment section exited unless they just replaced the door panel, but anyway guys. Oh wait a minute, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Oh look at this! Look at this. The bullet went in this way, oh and then it shot out the mirror. Then it shot out the mirror: crazy, crazy, wow all right. So this thing was involved in a shootout apparently - and now it's here at the auction, only 22 000 miles 2019. So, overall you know, i don't know how well this car was maintained, but this isn't a bad car to pick up.
It needs a little bit of work, but compared to other totaled out 2019 vehicles, not too bad so living in chicago. I don't really get to use my off-road ml55. All that much - and i know this isn't the most extreme off-roading in the world, but i'll take what i can get and look at this. We have an engine just sitting on a pallet looks like it may have just been ripped out of a what is this thing, an audi or a volkswagen? You can see right there pretty nuts.
What is this a chevy see you can identify all of the parts that are laying around wow wow. This is bad. All right, guys focus focus. We got the ml55 sitting next to a duramax bro dozer.
This thing is quite beastly. No idea why it's totaled, i don't know it's not on my list, though we're here right now to see this guy, a jeep grand cherokee, an srt grand cherokee, and this was totaled out due to vandalism as well. I saw a dent there on the passenger side, not enough to total this out. This side looks really nice 68 000 miles.
This is a really nice car. I'm telling you some of these vandalism. Cars are the way to go. Wow really, nice.
Let's check out the interior, okay, all right, looking good, it smells good, not trying to cover anything up in this one. This is a beautiful car. Beautiful hang on a second, it's probably dead. Ah, it's dead.
This was totaled out due to vandalism, guys so unless they destroyed the engine or something like that, i really don't understand why this is totaled out. We don't have any holes in it. It looks really clean. Even if this thing did need an engine, i don't think that's enough to total it out.
So not really sure this is quite the mystery okay here i may have found it. I may have found why this was totaled. Someone keyed it it's kind of hard to tell in the rain, but someone keyed this thing. So if they keyed every single panel, maybe they damaged the engine, somehow putting something in the gas tank something like that, but if it required an entire new paint job, maybe it'd be totaled out. I don't know this thing's still worth like thirty five thousand dollars. Forty thousand dollars something like that: it's a 17 with 68 000, so kind of a mystery here. But if this is a run and drive, it could be a smoking deal for someone. So i didn't know this was here: it's not on my list, but it says lost type unknown and it looks great.
It's got kind of a low tire right there. I think yeah this wheel looks to be kind of tweaked a little bit, so maybe some frame damage something like that. This looks just like the one that me and watched jr go saw about a year ago. At this same lot, i don't remember if it's the same one but very very similar and wow.
This thing this thing has got some serious modifications going on here. Someone spent some big money on this car. I mean, if you buy one of these things, new here's. Some accident damage right here and do all these mods.
It's like a hundred thousand dollar truck, especially with the diesel so yeah. Oh, this is all just oh wow, okay, you can see that airbag is blown up and this is completely twisted. So there's definitely some frame damage some big time frame damage. Look at that.
You can see that's bent yeah! This whole thing is tweaked crazy. Next up we have a 2020 scat pack charger vandalism, lots of mopars going on here guys little weird. A lot of these are getting stolen. You guys may have read about that, but 14 000.
Oh no, 1, 400 miles totaled for vandalism. What are these like? 50? Something thousand dollars. I mean to total. This out means that it's got to have.
You know 40. 000. Roughly in damage something like that, this is crazy. This thing looks to be brand new.
I mean it was just bought. Let's see, what does it smell? Like smells new smells new, there's some stuff taken apart over there we have keys cool interior. I wish you guys. Could smell some of these cars with me, this one's good, this one's good, but the other one's, not good, not good at all, let's see if it fires up with a thousand miles on it, vandalism what what okay yeah like they took some stuff apart here.
This thing was straight up stolen, wasn't it they cut some wires here? Okay, not really sure i got keys fires right up. This is insane fire's right up runs great, oh, sounds so good. Oh little alignment issues going on there, beautiful beautiful car all right. Another weird one here and wait a minute: it's so crazy.
Sometimes when i'm filming a car, i won't even notice that there is another interesting car in the background. Sometimes you guys point this out in my other auction videos. But what is this? We have an amg gt. This is a car.
I really really want. You don't really see this too often at the auction just kind of sitting out here, but this one looks to have been totaled out due to a wow, a pretty nasty hit right here. All right, let's check out the interior of this 34 000 mile amg gt, and we have airbag deployment some disassembly going on here and a perfect package 3.0 from manscape. What are the chances? What better time for an ad transition? This is the perfect package 3.0, and it comes loaded up with lots and lots of goodies good stuff in here.

It doesn't really get much better than that so check it out this one's funny. It was totaled out due to hail. Maybe a hail of bullets check this out. Oh man, this is bad.
This is bad anymore. Oh, this one looks like it. Oh yeah, this one skimmed the car and probably broke out the back window. Wonderful anymore.
What is this um yeah? I don't know. Maybe that was was that the one i don't know it. Skimmed the car broke out. The back window maybe hit the seats and then didn't make it out, or did it no? No, no.
It didn't hold on a second, oh, my gosh dude, i'm no forensics guy here. But what do we have at the top of this headrest? That looks like that looks like the bullet. So, okay, here we go bullet came in there skimmed this headrest. You can see right here, it's kind of hard to get the camera up there and then it hit the windshield there unreal unreal, but it was totaled out due to hail.
Yeah seems legit all right. We have another 2017 jeep grand cherokee srt. My friend just bought one of these. They are really cool trucks, really fast adaptive cruise control, big old brakes.
This one, let's see, are these the factory wheels. I think they might be, although i don't remember seeing them in this color - not really sure comment down below. If you know about these uh 48 000 miles kind of a cool color, you don't really see all that often look at the tires back here. Unbelievable someone was having a little bit too much fun um, but this one was totaled out again: vandalism, okay, something's going on here in the exhaust - that is, that looks to be an animal.
Probably an animal sitting in the exhaust nice very, very nice body seems to be in excellent condition. I am not seeing any key marks, i'm always afraid to open these cars. Oh this thing's got juice, it's got power. Ah, it smells just like the uh. The bullet hole audi. Oh yeah, oh yeah, you guys know what i'm talking about. It has keys. Oh man, this one's kind of nasty in here.
Let's see if it starts key fob push button to start. Okay, we got it come on baby break plus that yeah. I got it doesn't start okay, we still have the engine, don't know if it's blown or not aside from reeking and having ball tires, it looks to be in really good shape, so another mystery one 2018 lexus rx 350 totaled out due to vandalism and let's take A look here, it's looking pretty minty clean to me not seeing any real damage just yet seems to be the common theme today. Looking all the way around tires, all look good.
This thing looks really nice. Let's take a look. Okay, we have current tags sitting in the passenger seat, we have keys, we have a very nice interior, it smells brand new in here we have power. So let's start this guy up see what's going on, yep fires right up runs beautifully.
We don't even have any lights on silky, smooth, silky, smooth, runs beautifully. Totaled out for vandalism be on the lookout for vandalism. Cars people go inspect them. If you can, you can go to auctions too yourself and check these cars out in person.
This is a brand new car. For all intents and purposes, it looks phenomenal all right, so this is a 2021 range rover. So what are these things like around a hundred thousand dollars? It has 1300 miles and let's take a look at what's going on, so they keyed it. We got that going on.
That's an expensive fix, but definitely not enough to total out this type of suv. So let's keep on looking here. Ah an all too familiar sight. Today, a bullet hole, we got one there on the door.
What else we got here we have another one on this door. We have another one on the hood. Let's see anything else, any more bullet holes looks like some of the headlight broke apart. So we'll check that out we're gon na pop the hood and see what happened in there.
But let's see what we can see on the inside, oh here's, another one here is another one. Oh my gosh! This is nuts, so it wasn't listed as biohazard. So don't worry and they're very accurate with the biohazard listings. So none of the ones we're looking at today we're listed as a biohazard.
That's why i'm just kind of freely opening up the doors and uh yeah look at this wow, so they basically shot the dash it smells brand new in here. This is a 2021 someone. Just bought this and it got shot up. Let's see here, we go, there is where the bullet entered after it went through the door and oh look at this.
Was this stopped wow? This one was stopped all right range rover for using some quality material. This literally stopped a bullet cool got right through the uh. The plastic trim there, but couldn't make it through the aluminum door. Sill range rover, tough right there. Oh wait. Did they shoot the wheel? Oh they shot. The wheel too. Didn't really do much.
That could be fixed, you can have a wheel, that's been shot totally fixed powder coated and you'd. Never know it'd be an interesting listing wheels in decent shape outside of a bullet wound all right. So, let's see we got here, bullet came in, they were trying to shoot the engine and uh. So let's see here now that i am a forensic scientist, i am going to say that the trajectory of this bullet was over over yonder and where did it go? Maybe i'm not the best forensic scientist here.
I don't know where this went well. You probably won't see me on an episode of csi anytime soon, but here you have it another one bites the dust due to the almighty bullet. You guys want to see how i almost vandalized my own car. This is the coolant reservoir tank from the ml55.
I replaced it this morning. Actually, i got to add, probably a little bit more coolant um, but if you guys saw the off-road series on this truck, you know that before the 1 000 mile trip to michigan for the winter rally uh, you know that the fan went bad so me and Oj had to rig up a fan except it's powered by a switch inside the car. It doesn't come on automatically and i was moving. The fleet around the battery was low.
I'm like, let me just let this thing charge for a little while and then i forgot and i went inside and i showered and i ate dinner, and luckily one of my neighbors cameras picked up some activity by my house and it was smoke. It was smoke because this had blown out and the engine was smoking big time. So my friend drove by my neighbor messaged me i ran outside. I caught it in time.
Luckily, these kind of have like an overheat protection mode, so the engine died out not from being locked up, but because the temperature was just way out of whack. It shut off but everything's good. If any engine can survive a little overheating, it is the m113 and it's perfect. I filled it back up.
We have a new reservoir, we have coolant and i really got ta replace that fan alright, guys that'll, do it for today's video, it's starting to rain. Once again, so make sure to follow me at legitstreetcars on instagram and facebook to see my big announcement, something i'm very very excited about, and if you enjoyed this video make sure to give it a thumbs up share the video subscribe if you're new, most importantly, have An awesome day i'll catch all of you guys in the next one you.
If i had a shit ton of money to fix it with OEM parts, 100% would buy one of these cars.. but otherwise.. no
Methinks ya miss a great number of details with these damaged motor vehicvular anomelettes. Only since I seez a number of things that you never mentioned, although your inspection is real quick. Extremely interesting yard to cruise around and look at what is going on in yur world.
The hail damaged car likely had a couple more hail stones through the back window but the camera panned real fast and I'm not involved. If I was interested in buying it tho, it seemed like a lower impact was visible also & then I'd slowmo the playback there. The Audi with taped over repairs is a sweet one and that black Dodge challenger which U started – Nice!!
Mightβve got stolen in the thousand miles mightβve been put on by somebody else I couldβve been a lot so I got stolen add they didnβt want to deal with it they took the truck some money and ran you are
Well itβs still the car if we canβt find it after so many weeks I got a pay for it and then I get the car when I find it insurance company gets it in sales it to these places
Here. Let me help you. A recovered theft can be totaled if it was recovered after 30 days. The insurance company must pay it off after 30 days if it is not found. Lots of vehicles are hidden for 30 days or more and then magically reappear dumped somewhere.
Houston is almost even in stupid crap. The gun violence is way past normal. We all know who doing it.
On the Audi Q7, on the right side, you also see what looks like another patch on the center console near the seatbelt.
I was getting parts off a 2014 Malibu at a junkyard and found about 5 bullet holes in the windshield and several more in the passenger door. I was inside the car before I realized. Suddenly I was grossed out and got out ASAP.
LOL.. he sees a patch on door then opens it to see whatβs on others side.. then claims he missed that obvious bullet hole right in the spot he was suppose to looking in patched area..lol..dumb. Hey I tell u wag at.. take that same car and ride in the hoods and see who recognize it and shoot at it again while youβre driving ..and I bet money while youβre flooring it to escape gunfire I bet you want have a problem finding bullet holes lol
Such a waste to put that much horsepower on these new Dodge's especially when they're four doors
My uncle got his challenger skat pack totaled 1. Bc it was stolen and the insurance just gave him the money and it would be sent to be totaled 2. Bc when it was found the thief crashed it into a pole
The cars that don't make sense as to why thy were totaled out is probably because they were recovered after the claim was paid out and now the insurance company owns the vehicle so the next step is that it goes for auction for the insurance company to recover as much funds as possible.
