I thought you were supposed to fill your tires based off what the car model recommended (found on the door panel) and not the max pressure of the tire itself?
I just bought a used vehicle and the first thing I did was to drop and replace ALL of the major fluids. I even brought my OBD2 scanner and checked for major fault codes right in front of the previous owner before buying.
honestly, looking underneath the engine, you are going to find a LOT more. under the hood check the oil, make sure it's not milky. wipe the trans oil on a white paper towel. look UNDER the car. look for any rust. look for wet spots. if it's soaked all over, don't buy the car. if you are payer lots of money, lets say over 4-5 grand, GET A PRE PURCHASE inspection. and lastly, look into the MOTOR you are buying, and the transmission. every car is going to have it issues. I recommend buying honda or toyota.
@@kuengyal23 Yeah--right. Toyota 3.0 V-6 Infamous for valve seat recession and head gasket failure. 90s era Camry 4 cylinder..Oil gelling (sludging) issues which Toyota actually admitted to. Certain Honda engines.....valve issues requiring replacement of cylinder heads. Ive repaired vehicles for over 50 years. and I know the actual facts..because Ive repaired those turds.
@@donreinke5863 can we blame the people who own them and don’t service their car on time. Cuz I have a 2000 series Land Cruiser Prado running 25 years with almost 400,000 kilometres on the clock and still drives like a beast 💪
@@kuengyal23 Uh.....no. The issues with the 3.0 V-6 as well as the Camry 4 were a result of design flaws and engineering mistakes. Toyota refused to recall the V-6s but if a customer complained enough, they would give them one head gasket replacement at the dealership. Of course, they never publicized this. Im currently rebuilding an engine for a 1977 Ford that has a documented 378,000 MILES...not mere kilometers. It finally wore out. I see NO Toyotas or Hondas that old still running. Being in the auto repair business for 5 decades, I dont buy the Toyota/Lexus hype I know better.
Best thing to do (easier said than done) is to have a trusted qualified mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection. They can point out any current or potential problems to keep in mind when buying a used car.
