Any car that runs and drives for $400 is a good deal.

Chrysler extended the warranty on those subframes, it may be coverd

Might wanna change the trans fluid on it. Those Jatco CVTs (Chrysler used the same ones Nissan did) need all the help that can get.

Meanwhile in Ohio a dude is trying to sell his 2007 Yaris with 300,000 miles for $1750....

These had a recall on the subframe, call your local Chrysler dealer with the VIN and see if it's eligible for a free replacement

The landscape in Vermont looks really nice and i think you made a good deal.. stay safe

Had a 08 Jeep Patriot, 2.4 is super strong and never an issue. BTW it is not a Fiat engine. It was designed by Hyundai as part of the Global Engine Alliance. It was the most reliable part on the Jeep. Everything not so much.

"uncle's on the phone he's trying to buy an air conditioner" why did that make me laugh a bit 😆

Nice little score there. I'd never be able to deal with rust like that where I live, I get mad at stuck bolts let alone swiss cheese holes lol

Great Deal! I would not recommend buying any CVT car, new or used. No matter who makes em. There all bad.

Is it junk? It was junk the day it left the factory! However, for $400, it's a gem!

Wow! You are getting better and better looking! I love that you're more comfortable in front of the camera now. Whatever you're doing is working for you!

I love your videos. You have such a great passion for fixing cars. My dad did it when he was younger.

Great videos.......thousands of miles away from me but love your enthusiasm for a challenge and a profit 👍🏼

I want to take a motorcycle on that hilly road!

As a Vermont expat unfortunately living in Florida, and someone who just found your videos. That mountain was Mt Mansfield and the road was Smugglers notch, which in the winter gets closed because, well you drove it, not to safe in snowy/icey conditions. I'm from the Williston/Huntington area.

That vehicle also came with a 5-speed manual. That would've been so much better

I live about 10 minutes down the road from smugglers notch, semis get stuck going through there all the time and they have to close the road. It’s quite the ride. It’s nice to see someone from around here making videos. There’s not too many great youtubers in VT, keep it up!

Another great score!! Yes, those cvt transmissions leave a lot to be desired...Nissan was a big user of them. For the price and putting in a little work, a profit should be easy!!! Thanks for the great video!!!

Smugglers Notch. Fun drive!! Was there last summer with my Outback. You a brave soul to bring Compass through there.

Easy answer is it junk? Is it a Jeep Compass? 'Nuff said.

Another great score hands clapping 👏🏻

That brings back some memories - my first trip to American I had one as a rental. I learnt how to drive a LHD car (I’m from Australia) in one down 2nd ave in Manhattan and out to Brooklyn. I’m sure there are better places to learn how to drive on the wrong side of the road, but it certainly encouraged fast learning!!!!

I really need to visit Vermont.... it looks stunning ...great video man . I like these real cars as opposed to the fantasy expensive stuff

It reminds me of driving the mountains in Arkansas. Beautiful country. Great video as always sir.

That road goes up the mountain. It is the road that people used to smuggle liquor when it was illegal. The road is called the Notch. It is closed on in the winter because plow truck can’t get up it. There are no tractor trailers allowed.

So many things going on in this video..,it’s a great video, thanks Rural. One thing is everyone thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. The seller “doesn’t know much about it.” How common is that. Seller likely knows exactly how expensive it really is to fix the subframe, etc. or that it only makes sense for a complete do it yourselfer to buy, but even then there’s bargaining room. Scenery was great. Thanks.

Seems like a pretty great deal. Nice work!

The Notch road scared the hell out of me the first time I drove it, but it’s such a fun one to drive. Never really have to leave second gear on the up hill

At first I was getting impatient to learn what's wrong with this Compass other then it was a cheap hyundai jeep when new. But I respect he was trying to get the views and compliment if buying and selling hooptie cars is his thing, he did pretty good with this car. Be safe and healthy when he takes that road trip cross country later this year.

Owned a 2017 Compass. The mechanic at the dodge dealership told the CVTs were only good in the Compass and not the Patriot. Go figure. Had for three years and never had any issues with it. The only thing I replace was a right rear wheel bearing. Really loved it.

Nice vehicle, you got a great deal!

Nice score! 👍 A little bit of TLC and you have some extra cash for the next Craigslist car!

Your uncles a good camera man he’s a keeper

Good job for not trying to low ball him and get a better deal. You already won brother.

I have a 07, over 200,000 miles. No issues other than I rebuilt the suspension. If you change the oil regularly, these last forever actually.

That’s crazy in Wisconsin that would easily sell for $1500 or more as it sits.

"Does the horn work?" *punches the horn 4 times* "Yep works"

That was State Route 108, otherwise known as the Notch Road. It's the best motorcycle road in the state, but it's unfortunately often congested with tourists in vans. Every single year (without fail), a tour bus tries to go up it (despite giant signs that say "NO BUSES, NO TRUCKS") and gets stuck. Look up "truck stuck VT RT 108" and you'll see what I mean.

I thought I got a deal on my 2001 mercury grand marquis for $2k back in 2017! one owner 84 year old lady sold it to me. she's mint !

Subframe rust on the engine cradle is a big issue on these and the caliber and patriot.

I love that road. Its called the notch road :) travel through there daily

I see a few of these come in at my workplace and most of the people with these usually only have them as cheap transportation. I wouldn’t own one myself because of the CVT

On these engines watch out for a common problem "going limp" its an issue with the electronic throttle body that'll show on the dash as a red lightning bolt icon. The repair is replacing the whole body but it seems like its running good especially up hill which is good. To test this is mainly is to rev the engines with some quick revs and the symbol would briefly come on. I know it doesn't seem like any issue here but I'd thought I'd share anyway if you were to buy another car with the same engine it's happened to me before and we honestly didn't know what was going on. Good Luck on this thing it seems to be a great buy

Great video!

I just Baught a 2014 Jeep Compass 2.4 with the Auto (not CVT) with 131k miles. I love it so far I just hope it lasts and is reliable

Wow nice roads I enjoyed that

I always love your Stuff . Just a real suggestion on this one . I’m fairly sure you don’t transfer all the titles to yourself first then sell them . But being it has a bad subframe and that looks very bad I would definitely fix it before selling it . If it sells and that frame breaks . The people will go after whoever’s name it was registered too . Lawsuit city . I do cars myself but I stay far away from any frame issues . Luckily that frame came be replaced rather cheap . But around where I live I can get those Jeeps all day for 300-400 bucks

You should definitely take this on your trip around the county

You ever been to Smuggler’s notch? It’s in Northern Vermont, went there a couple of times, I love it there. Beautiful views.

Good find 👍 and I always enjoy the scenery in the mountains on drives . We all know Jeep products have went to crap as far as quality and mechanical dependability the last 15 years , all of the V6 and In-line 4 cylinders are garbage , it’s really sad .

Hey! A new video, i been waiting.

Wowser, I only came here for the music, about time we are back on Vermont dirt roads.

We had one for a year and a half. Was a very useful vehicle but very bad rear suspension conception and components... Replaced all the rear bushig and they squeaked again two weeks after repairs were done... but for the rest... powertrain and 4x4 were perfect and it was a manual transmission ! It was a 2010. It was the one year only that had the newer interior (2011 and +) with the old exterior as your !

Funny, here in Romania works exactly the same way with inspections. If you go to the right inspection station, you pass.

Beautiful Vermont ✌🏻

Good lad, hope you turn a little profit on the flip. You seem to have proper seasons where you live.

Good job Sonia

You are a country Boy I love it do you aver work so hard your back hurts

The first thing out of mouth is "I know this thing is junk!" Then he starts to look at it and says "Wow, this thing is pretty good!"

I'm glad you didn't talk him down.

That’s a great deal you did good !

ahhhh notch road, that's the place where the tractor trailers get stuck up there 5-10 times a year even though it's clearly marked not to bring semis lol.. check to see if your subframe has been recalled on that jeep though, friend of mine had a patriot and they replaced it as of a year ago

Nice score but fix it right Before you sell it. The life you save may be mine. 👍

Can't wait for the repair video

Man replace that sub fram and you good! Motor good!

The rear subframe is usually the rust problem. These had even factory extended warranty to replace the rear subframe as it rusted so bad.

If you want the torqueflite transmission, buy the caravan, neon, ptcruiser

I love those cars I have a 2017 Jeep Compass limited got it new I love it as my spare car

Hey Vermonter, I love your content and have for a long time, I know your more of a gm Chrysler guy, but would you be willing to do a ford truck on your channel, I’d love to see that.

Real steal, I would go all the way and repair the paint and get the roadworthy, a nice little earner, well done! ps how many owners and service history?, can get a service printout from a jeep garage with presenting the ownership papers, just saying.

My state doesn't have vehicle inspections!😎👍 so if you could get any cheap vehicle like that with a good title and bring it here yer good to go!

I like the Impala next to it.

Nice beater!

I wanted to see more videos of this Jeep

I see roads like that mountain road on a weekly basis here in southeastern Tennessee. Hope you make a good profit bud.

A good buy 4 that price 👍

Good Jeep it is great car and cheap!

Other than the CVT it looks like a reasonable daily driver (Hate CVT's!!). Do the front wings (Sorry, Fenders) bolt on? If so a cheap replacement would be the route I'd take.

I bought a 2007 Chevy cobalt for $200. I drove it over an hour and a half home from Derby line with no exhaust.

I just bought my dads 1998 volvo s70 glt turbo last night and im pretty happy about it.

i own one of these, 2009 jeep compass limited (fully loaded). Mine doesnt have that crap CVT in it tho, instead i have the 5 speed manual that was available for all trims of this car

Someone will definitely pay 2,500 for that one. Good flip! -John W.

LOL, you live in VT and don't know the Stowe Mountain Road through Smuggler's Notch? When I lived in VT from '85 to '97, I drove it quite a few times and rode it on my Suzuki also. I recognized it from the video before you mentioned Johnson or Stowe. There is a mountain road that goes almost to the top of the mountain (not the road you were on through 'the notch'), it's not a paved regular road, and it's got more curves and dropoffs.

Thats the notch rd that all the 18 wheelers get stuck on lol can't believe its your first time over the notch

Btw I own a 2006 wk, had one issue where the oil light flashed and it was a loose oil filter. Don’t know if you’ll ever have that issue but thought it might help one day

Good call on the mask,Sir! Doing your part...

happy to see you wearing a mask

A damn steal! Don't care if it's fiat junk. (it really is about 95% all fiat), it's $400 a 2008 AND a 4x4 small highly desired SUV. (desired by everyone wanting a suv nowadays, especially smaller one and this fits that bill PERFECTLY!) . I'd love to keep it for myself if I bought it. But right now with these conditions where ppl are spending top dollar on used cars usually more than kbb. I'd have to flip it just for all that extra cash you would make. Awesome steal man. And THANK YOU for not trying to talk him down anymore or messing with him. Most ppl would have, and it's pretty sad to be honest.

Which I knew someone like you here. Been looking for a bit for a used car. Going to be my first car ever but I’m a noob when it comes to those so I’m not sure what is good and isn’t. If a bought something that failed then that’d be it.

Nice. You can get other subframe.

I would never consider buying a Jeep Patriot for some good reasons: #1 - it's a Chrysler product # 2 - it's the least expensive model Jeep offers #3 - it has a Jatco CVT transmission #4 - it has a reputation of "falling apart" as they age #5 - known recall on sub- frame #6 - no one will ever say to you " hey , that's a nice looking Jeep you got there"

Huge Score!

I live in NJ and someone would probably list that thing for like 3 grand down here and you got it for $400. Congratulations.

you got a SWEET deal

Do you end up putting the title of these flip vehicles in your name before selling them? I know depending on the state, it can be costly to move titles just for a quick flip on lower cost vehicles. Just wondering if you have to factor that cost into your vehicles.

in one of your next videos, could you explain the inspection thing? we don't have that where I live.

3:21 good song lol Iris-goo goo dolls

The Jeep looks nice tho ‼️🔥

great bargin!
