In Canada there is no enforcement of shady curbers who often roll back rebuilt speedos. Never buy a rebuilt, a unibody can be off a quarter inch square and cause many other issues such as drivability and suspension.
@@jeffreyerickson6766 I have a 2021 VW Jetta that I got 2 yrs back… 34k miles already driven… very solid had only the brake pad change during the 30k service but no other issues… very good fuel efficiency…. I fill it only once every 2 weeks !
Great video but you could have listed the tricks and fees the salsmen are using. I got screewd with etching fee and paper processing fee when buying a used Toyota at Ken Shaw Toyota
I do not know if I recommend buying a used car. (Especially from a dealership or even worse a used car salesman.) There's an expression when you do that, buying someone else's headaches. Because with a used car, you never know what you're buying. For instance, you don't know if whether or not someone played with the speedometer. It can also turn out that the car you bought is a lemon. If you want to go to court when that happens, you can, but it's a lot of rigarmaroo and there's a good possibility you may not win. Takes a while too. The best place to buy a used car is from one of these guys who repairs cars for a living with his own shop. For the most part, they're honest. Try to find out the guy's rep. Me I'm cheap. I checked which car has the most reliability and bought a new car that was recommended. I bought it with a stick shift because it's better and lasts longer than a manual. I've been driving the same car that I bought in 2005 and it's still going.
Remember that the highest paid employee at a dealership is usually the finance officer. That says a LOT. If you think you got an "honest" deal, you're very likely wrong. I always wince when I see people walking into the palatial buildings that many dealerships have. It doesn't even cross their minds to wonder who paid for them. Then there's dealer "service" and "free service" by people on the other side of your dollar.
But you voluntarily give your money to the marble clad banks like Bank of America, or Royal Bank of Canada, don't you? In return, they give you pitiful interest on deposits, high interest on money they lend you, and fees at every turn that were free, or a modest charge, only a few years ago. The big building is part of a "confidence game", impressing you with a sense of solidity and assurance in this supposed "august establishment". Likewise at a car dealership. As someone who has worked in Automotive Dealership Management... Nothing could be farther from the truth about dealerships. The dark cynicism, comments and laughter at "the tower", or in the GSM's office is all about greed. There is no thought about customer concerns. When you walk into a dealership, you are entering a shark tank filled with voraciously hungry predators. And you're entering with a big chunk of chum around your neck. BEWARE.
@@islanddon865 Well, you deposit your money in a bank with the assurance that you can remove that money whenever you wish. Is that similar to a car? I don't have the experience of confronting unusual fees or low rates of return because I bank carefully. I'm paid more than 5% free of state tax on a "sweep" account with free checking and was paid a significant amount just to open an account at a major bank with their knowledge that I would keep any low interest portions of the account depleted. I pay no transfer or other fees. I once considered buying an auto dealership so investigated the finances and operations carefully. I and my associates eventually decided that we didn't want to be in the business of deceiving or defrauding gullible people (and others).
