people always ask me how do I buy a used car or used truck and not get ripped off. Or what you should look for when buying a used car. There is a lot of things to inspect when you are buying a used car from the dealership or even buying a truck from a private seller. In this video i go over all the tricks I've learned over the years on how to inspect a used car before you buy it and how to know if I'm getting a good deal or not on a used car. many people are hesitant on buying used cars because they don't know how to check a used car for problems. what to look for when buying a used car is all very similar for all pre owned cars. Having the knowledge of what to know before buying a preowned car is important for not getting ripped off. I try to make looking for things on a used cars simple and easy to understand for even someone who doesn't know much about cars will able to apply these tricks. with this video you can make a used car check list and make sure you're got getting a unreliable car. Getting a reliable used car is hard. Nobody can guarantee you will get a reliable used car but you can definitely do your best by looking over a pre owned car. Buying a used car with no problems does not always happen but i will go over all the things you should know before buying a used car from the dealership or buying a used car from a private sale! so lets check out common problems when buying a car! As well as what to bring when buying a used car. there are many things to check when buying a used car so let's get into it!

I just wanted to add.. as far as the windshield goes. Seals do NOT keep water out. They are purely cosmetic. The urethane holds the integrity of the windshield and keeps water out. The only way you would get a leak is if there was a missed connection in the glue bead or body seam issue. There would be other various reason for a leak. But just an example. Sunroof- same thing with the seal but it does keep debris somewhat out. The reason it would leak is if the drains are clogged and/or cracked. I love watching your videos! Very educational! Hope this helps others 🙂

@hut375 2 года назад

Hey Buddy, I am following along your 4 part inspection video series, and find it quiet helpful and easy to understand, as a non mechanical person. I cannot find part 4 of the series ? But in any case the knowledge I have gained from the first three videos has been quite helpful. 45 mins into the used car inspection I was carrying out today on a possible purchase, the sellers anger and irritation, and his pressure on me to hurry up ! was such that we parted ways after 45 mins into a likely two hour inspection I was determined to carry out, between checking the vehicle and paperwork, and test drive. But in that time, thanks to your comprehensive videos I noted blue smoke , on accerlation, from the exhaust, never a good sign ! alignments, spring, suspension issue on one front tyre, engine warning light not extinguishing. After a look underneath, an exhaust system that was corroded, a rusted hole in the petrol tank ! 'Its only £1500 pounds, what do you expect, he exclaimed', . That's a lot of money to me, along with a possible tax of £700, co2 emission's !, insurance, £ 400, repairs bills another £1500, so quiet a lot actually. So I appreciate your knowledge, and keep up the good work.

I love the channel and appreciate all of the knowledge you share. Just wanted to let you know the plastic Around the windshield that’s called a moulding, not all windshields have them. They are cosmetic. The urethane adhesive underneath the glass keeps it sealed from air and water, with our without the moulding.

@idzis4283 Год назад

we can see very clearly the difference between a caring owner of the bmw, and not so caring owner of the highlander, bmw owner took good care and made sure the dings and chips of pain wont cause it to rust, even if it had some minor issues, they've been atleast patched up and not left to cause even more damage.

@Sikeslikescars 2 года назад

1:00 actually it is super common for the hood and front bumper to be a little misaligned on these cars. There is not a ton of adjustment you can do to the hood and you have to remove and reinstall the front bumper if you want it to fit better. The rest of the seams should all be pretty good though, it seems to mostly be that front bumper that is a little wonky on most of them.

@dietpiediaries6287 3 года назад

Does hand held machines for CODE READING tell specific engine motor problems or even transmission problems? Or is that only able to be diagnosed when a mechanic opens up the engine?

@lesterparker1594 3 года назад

If you get a cheap one it’s usually not very specific. However, you can usually google the code it gives you and get much more info. You can find what issues usually throw that code and find some fixes that helped other people. Hope this helps

@cristianandrei5462 3 месяца назад

The stuff in the video doesn't really matter, so what if it has rock chips, or a little bit of rust, you can fix that for cheap. I'll say firstly you want to inspect the person selling the car, if it is the owner of it and had it for a long period of time or a reseller. If its the first I'll ask if/when it changed the timing belt/chain on the car and if it has a service history of the oil changes. That's the main causes of engine failure...

So it's just a little smoke it's probably condensation. That's not big deal. Not if it's a decent cloud then it could be a head gasket failing. A little smoke upon start is okay. If it's constant then that's no bueno. Of course when it's cold out there will be a constant stream of smoke and that's okay. But I'm sure it's just condensation in your case. If you want you can send me a video on my instagram account and I'll tell you forsure
