A YouTuber has opened up his own “car dealership,” selling vehicles for as little as 99 cents.

Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is known for his “Good Samaritan” gestures on social media, and on August 29 he opened his “dealership” where twelve vehicles were sold for amounts like $7 and $3.

The dealership opened for business, aiming to sell every car in the yard by the end of the day. The most expensive car on the yard was $13.

“What’s the deal?” a customer asks, before buying a vehicle priced at $12 for five dollars.

MrBeast humorously lowering his car prices by acting like the original price was high. One customer even received $1500 to take a car off the yard.

Customers were rendered speechless, and MrBeast even shed a few tears.

Three potential buyers sat in a car, with the last person standing getting a free car – but all three drove away with a new car anyway.

“This video was very special to me, and we impacted a lot of lives today,” MrBeast says. “We really want to continue doing stuff like this.”

Over $100,000 was spent on the project, which includes buying everything off the original dealership owner.
