Always, ALWAYS..when buying new or used, no matter what deal you got..you WILL get bombarded by friends and family who claim (after the fact) that they know a guy, who has an Uncle that uses the barber on Main St...who heard there is a place, that could have saved you a lot of money.

Why is buying a car like a drug deal

Also always remember you can walk away. A lot of people feel pressured into buying things usually off their own emotions or others. Do what is right for you financially 👌.

Hey, the nice thing about buying a used car in Utah is that the blinkers will always be brand new.

If the salesman says they will get you a second key or floor mats, etc. Get a "Due Bill" and make sure it states what they will provide after sale.

I think bringing someone along is always a good idea. It’s much easier to stand one’s ground if an issue arises when having another person on your side.

Saved around $1000 after after watching this video. I went straight to the dealership and used your tips to negotiate a used car. Thank you so much!

Those 708 dislikes are probably from all auto dealers...they mad as hell!

May have already been mentioned, but be careful with the carfax the dealer provides you, we once had a salesman give a carfax sheet for the same model of car, but, when I checked the VIN, it was not the same car.

Here's how you buys a used car from a dealer. Pick a model ahead of time. be prepared to pay cash. Research it. Get a good idea of the fair market value. Wait til the end of the month. Go check the car out, look under it for leaks, hook a scanner to it, test drive the hell out of it. Make a fair offer. If he says "no deal," walk, there lots of metal out there for sale.

Always check the oil first. If it’s low..RUN!

I remember when I first started to finance was to help build credit. Biggest thing is the first time buyer and you get hit with that big interest especially if your credit is not that great. I knew that but researched the cars value and got it down to the price I wanted. Traded it in 6 mos later and cut that interest down a ton and dumped the negative equity as well. Plus credit went up and got something even cheaper and less on interest as well. Vehicle is a vehicle but credit is lke your financial report card.

If you're buying used then go with a certified preowned and check what's been done in the certification pack. This is coming from a salesman who sells certified preowned and other preowned vehicles. I make sure everything is done the first time, so my customer is happy!

Car buyers should be aware that there is so much more potential for a dealer to take advantage of you on the used car side vs new car.

I bought my 2006 Honda Ridgeline in 2017 for $200 above KBB value. It had 1 previous owner and they took very good care of it. The interior is mint, paint and body is immaculate, fully loaded with all the OEM bells and whistles. Never smoked in or abused for racing/off roading. It was also pampered at the dealership its whole life which is why I didn’t mind it having 160K miles on it. She still runs like new til this day

I got a very good deal on my first car, it was a 4 year old Toyota Yaris and 16K miles. It also had a built in sat nav, parking camera ans bluetooth, everything was working perfect and still is. No repairs so far and it looked as good as new for a 4 year old

Enjoy the video! Did I miss anything??

I'm in the market for a 2008-2014 Tahoe and I'm going to make the finance person at the dealership watch your video in front of me. Then we'll negotiate. And then we'll watch it together one more time just to double check if I missed anything. I appreciate the video bruh.

Got a 2014 chevy cruze (That was a rental) from Carvana with 12k miles on it. 2 years later, it has 32k~ miles. No problems. Financed through a credit union, never the dealershit. With a 5 year loan I owe 3k less then it's current trade in value. woot woot.

Please do your research when buying a used car and if you found this video useful, give it a thumbs up. Thanks. And here's a link to my favorite auto lender, Lightstream Loans if you want to check them out. bit.ly/auto_loans_ls

I had an interesting sale, but it ended up well. 2013 Fusion SE with luxury package for 22900 CAD and 11000 km. Both keys included. New value was 36000. Dealer owned, registered as a rental to get it from Newfoundland to Ontario and driven by the used car dealer. Had bumper damaged at 110km while at the dealership and it was repaired. Definitely regret buying the rust proof package, but all else really happy. Approaching 100000 km and no major problems.

Great video. I would add that no matter what you buy you should always walk out of the dealership. ALWAYS! Part of their game is to keep you waiting and take advantage of your lack of patience. 6-7 hours at a dealership and you will sign anything just to get out. It will also give you time to think things over and do more research. You won't see a dealers bottom offer on a vehicle until they think they'll lose the sale. It's also possible you could lose out on a car you really wanted but in the end it is worth it.

Cool vid. Something I like to do is always tell them, “I’ll think about it” and always have them pursuing you until they drop the price more. Something else I like to do is have a friend or family watch from a distance and then call me pretending to be another salesman from a different dealership saying they’ve agreed to my offer. I’ll then act excited and tell them “I’ll be right over to pick up the car”. At this point, the dealership will probably fall to their knees begging you to stay and they’ll drop the price even more

I have sold used cars for a long time. I let people walk over our Doc Fee everyday. Also we don’t get to fix our cars at “dealer cost” sales is charged full price for anything done by the dealer and at other dealers that cost is actually marked up for the owners to show higher profits in the service department. Dents and scratches are taken care of by outside vendors and that cost is also marked up by the dealer. There is very little mark up in used cars so 9 times out 10 the best price is listed online. Don’t waste your time trying any of these tactics because you will see the business is changing. It is not in our best interest to sell you a car and not make some type of profit.

I have to say, my 99 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe and I bought it in 2000.. it was a rental and aside from regular maintenance it's still running.. Though in my opinion the engine seems to be lasting longer than the car

A week ago i was looking at a 2017 toyota Corolla now i have rethink and do some research thanks for the valuable information 👍

I bought a car from a used car dealership back in April. So far, I'm loving there car and have had no problems with it. It's a 2018 Honda Civic LX Coupe and it had around 55000km on it when I bought it. I looked at the other Coupe models and I actually got one of the cheapest ones. I think with the taxes and fees, the car was something like 22000$. I pay less than 200$ every two weeks for the car and within a few years, I'll have the car paid off. Easy on gas, tons of great features, reliable, easy to drive, etc. It's actually my second car and the first car I've bought from a dealership. Really nice and fun car and I plan to drive it until it dies.

My first car was a 65 Pontiac. It had been smoked in but I didn't care, I was a teenager with a car, heck, I didn't even care that one of the back doors had been smashed in, I was just glad to have a car. Boy, times were different, weren't they?

Just one side note**** just because you found a cigarette butt in the car, doesnt mean it's been smoked in. They can get stuck to a shoe. Most people throw their cigarettes out the window anyway

Honestly stressed the hell out because I’ve been reading and doing research and on Wednesday I go to (hopefully) get my first car. I’m so nervous but I’m really excited and I love your videos (and your face). No big business words, very easy to understand and non biased.

Based on my own experience, I would advise anyone looking to buy a used car to find a brand that is very reliable. I switched from a Mercedes to a Lexus and have saved thousands of dollars over the past several years. It is the cost of owning the car over time that is most important.

Check the windows while seating inside. The tar from cigarettes will acclimate on the inside of the windows

11:20 "Now at this point the salesman is not going to love you, but you're too far into the game for them to lose the sale." Well said. Its all in getting the best price.

Dude...great, thorough video. This isn't a fun process, so I really appreciate getting to learn more about it. I also appreciate that you didnt talk down to your viewer in this either. This is something I barely know anything about, so I really appreciate the help!!

We have purchased two large SUV’s that were both rentals from Colorado, and we have had zero issues. We would not hesitate to buy another.

This is a topic that is a must know for everyone! I even made a video about cars. I think it is critically important to get right if you want to get ahead financially!

I love the engine run time idea. Especially on a diesel pickup

If the only hint that the vehicle was smoked in, is finding a cigarette 4 months later, i would consider that Not smoked in.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Can I please take you with me to go car shopping lol

That is invaluable information for anyone about to buy a used car. You really covered everything without unnecessary waffle. Concise, accurate and articulate.

Carfax can tell you if it's a southern vehicle that was originally sold in the south and owned primarily in the south, or west for that matter. Probably means it hasn't been exposed to a lot of salt on the roads.

1000% agree with bringing the car to a mechanic to have it looked at. I have been looking at a 2017 mustang gt and the dealer said we did a billion point inspection of the car and blah blah blah... so my mechanic found a leak between the transmission and the transfer case so now they are fixing it.

I had to pause the video halfway through to give people watching this video the real information, there are some truth to the things that you’re saying but I’ve been in the car business for the better part of 10 years now and the information you’re relaying most of it is not wrong but grossly overplayed and some underplayed. First of all you’ll always be able to tell if a vehicle is smoked in whether it’s winter or summer, they’re clearly was no smell in the car that you bought and when you found that cigarette but you got upset for no reason, if there’s no smoke smell then there’s no reason to worry about whether the car was smoked or not. You put a lot of emphasis on minor things like this but skip over the fact that disclosing whether a vehicle was a rental or not is the law, But rental cars are some of the cleanest and well-maintained that I’ve seen in my experience. What you fail to realize and maybe it’s because you’ve never rented a car, but people treat things that they don’t own much better than the things that they do own. Rental cars are maintained daily and you suffer serious penalties if you mistreat a rental, my advice would be to find a clean rental car and that would be a much better deal than a one or two owner because you get the depreciation of a car being a rental with none of the risk. Maybe we treat our cars better here in Canada but in 10 years of experience this is undoubtedly true. So you’re Playing up a lot of really unimportant details but then down playing one of the most important details when buying a used car, a branded title is a serious serious issue I would stay the hell away from a branded title car even as a dealer. But your only advice is to just check it out a little further? You skip over one of the most severe issues a used car can have, Branded titles whether it’s a salvage, rebuild or a lemon is probably the worst thing that you can buy. I’m not trying to shit all over your video, and undoubtedly I’ll get some heat because I’m not the famous guy on KZfaq but I do have a lot of experience and I can’t let innocent people get mislead by false information for the sake of some internet views and ad revenue. I’ve come back to edit this after watching the remainder of the video, I’m wondering what type of dealership you’re thinking these people are buying from, tires and breaks are part of a safety test done by law, Not a lot of these people are buying wholesale junkers, and dealers price accordingly to the cars condition. I think you’re setting a lot of people up for a negative experience. Lots of what you said I can stand behind but most of it is irrelevant if you’re buying from a big reputable dealer, and that’s the key point to this response. You’re saying a dealer but a lot of these tactics are better suited to a private sale or some side of the road crappy used car lot. Not a large scale reputable dealer, and I think that is going to cause a lot of people trouble. The best advice you can get when buying any car is find a dealership with great reviews, find a salesman you can trust and treats you well. Or ask for a referral from your friends who have had positive experiences. Stop making car buying unnecessarily complicated and scary! Also the people need to know you yourself are not in the car industry, you’re a financial advisor and that does not make you qualified in any way to speak on the inner workings of sales, negotiation, or the automotive industry. These are completely separate fields.

I usually buy cars about 12 to 15 years old usually Toyotas, Lexus or Scions where the cars can get well over 200,000 miles or more for the life the engine and transmission and have timing chains or mesh gears for timing. I look for cars that have around 100,000 to 120,000 miles on them. I pay cash they are affordable usually in the 2500.00 to 6500.00 range in US dollars. These cars are in pretty good condition. I put bare bones insurance on them and if they get wrecked, I can get another one pretty cheap. When at dealer I usually offer to pay about 1/3 the price of the car and will settle if really want the car at 1/2 or 2/3 the cost of the car. Usually if your Used Car Dealer has brains (and they do) they will buy the car as cheap as the can and usually raise the price of the car three time the cost of the car. Then there are those other dealership that only have one price. I don't care for them they do have fair prices but I really like dickering back and forth over the price of a car. For me it is the fun part of buying a car.

2:22 Kelly bluebook should be a no go for anyone as their own prices are inflated (because surprise surprise) they are owned by an automotive group named "Cox automotive/enterprises" which means, odds are they have financial incentive to inflate prices, More than likely they have their hands in everyones cookie jar. Cox has been doing shady shit over the last decade and KBB should not be taken seriously.

I always buy used... never sucks.. I prefer my vehicles not to depreciate as soon as I buy it. Great Video!

I bought a 2000 Toyota Avalon which was driven 216,000 miles and I've been using it for 2 years. Best car purchase that I've made and I've spent about $500 in repairs but it's still worth considering the price I paid. I even like it better than 2018 Avalon that my brother owns.

Don't dream about revving that car engine you're about to buy, you have to revv up those credit scores first!

You’re one valuable person on this earth. Always know that 👌💪

I bought a used 2002 BMW 525i 6 years ago and it still runs like a champ with minimal issues.

6:57 you could always stop by an autoparts store during your test drive and have them hook up a code reader. some computers will throw codes that do not show on the dash. and be conscious of the fact that if a battery is disconnected for some time then the computer hasn't had time to identify certain codes. this is why you can no longer get through inspection by simply disconnecting the battery and clearing the codes. there is a cycle time.

Buying used will save you money . Every car depreciates no matter what kind is it . Unless its a Toyota Tacoma . Those trucks hold there Value . Financing is easy as long as you are a 690 and up you should be under 5% depending on the term . Also be sure all your credit cards are not maxed because BANKS will give you a bit higher of A.P.R . Car insurance isn’t expensive as long as you have a clean record . If your buying a sports car then be worried about insurance lol .

So happy to have found your videos! Bought my first car from carmax with no credit history and was in a situation where I needed the car literally that month. Paying insane %13.45 interest on a 2008 impala that has nickle and dimed me after a year of driving it. A little bit past halfway into my financing contract and now with a good credit score and some money down I’m looking to trade in for a 2016/2017 civic. Unfortunately, many of us are in situations where we have to take that first very shitty deal. However, we learn and get ourselves to a place where our second purchase is much better deal. Hoping to have my second car within the next few months! Thank you for the videos, so much great advice that can be useful to every customer, whether new or seasoned.

In the past, I bought a used vehicle and must have done every thing wrong possible. A hard lesson but I took the knowledge forward.

5:24 thus proving if you never found the cigarette but you would have never known. Because there isn't any difference if someone did or didn't smoke in the vehicle especially with such little mileage, and once it has been detailed. Thanks for proving that.

You gave good info, and I know that you spent a lot of time making and editing the video. That's why I gave you a "like."

I so wish that I would have seen this last summer when I bought my Jeep. I made almost every mistake that he mentioned. Turned out to be a great car, but I overpaid and the salesman LIED about it's service history, which I obtained through another dealer. Plus, I did the maint. myself a few weeks later and found original cabin filter, gross oil filter, etc.

There are individuals out there who will find you the car you want. I don't know what they're called but my whole family and some friends have used this guy and he finds great deals and he finds exactly the car you want within a 50 mile radius of wherever you are. It's amazing!

You can get smoke smell out of vehicles. As long as you dont burn the seats or whatever you can make it like it had never been smoked in. I've dealt with plenty of vehicles that had smokers as previous owners and never have a problem getting it back to normal.

I’m in the middle of trying to buy rn so your videos are helpful af✨✨

I get it. Thanks Jason. The saleslady was against me taking a decent test drive, so I finagled a trip to my personal mechanic, which gave me an unsatisfactory road test AND there were some real faults (like the blown radio & a tire nail in the unfixable zone ++) that definitely x'd the car off my list.

Have any used car inspected, by an independent mechanic of the you are choosing from any affiliation of the place of purchase. I worked with a Young Lady in Florida whom purchased a used car. The car kept breaking down. One night after work on a Friday her car broke down 1/2 mile from her home...in 2003 sadly she has never been seen again.....have at least $500.00 for inspection for about 5 cars. If the car fails the inspection. Go to another choice on your list. It if you can afford minor repair work subtract a $1000.00 from the price. Don't become emotionally involved with the and don't take the salesmen word on the repair. Have it inspected!!!!!

I just bought a Hyundai Sonata hybrid last week... 43 miles to the gallon, 2014 68000 MI... This car is awesome!!

After going to 1 Kia dealer and calling a bunch others, I decided to buy one through Carvana. The car will be at my house in 2 days. Vast majority of the reviews saw were good so I will update after the process.

Took a 2019 Nissan Frontier for a test drive and just after leaving the dealership, I noticed the fuel gauge was below empty. Drove back into the dealer and told them to keep the truck. Asked me why. I shouldn't be worried about the fuel when I want to see how it handles. Learned my lesson and told the next dealer if the fuel was below 3/8 full I wouldn't drive it. Left that dealer too.

Bought a 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT used. It now has 150,000 miles on it, and runs great.

Wow. I am hoping to buy my first car at a dealership in a few months and had no idea what to do/expect and came across this video. Thank you so much!!! Will have to watch more of your other videos to get educated!!!

My honda dealership let us test drive a subaru Wrx for a whole week 😂😂

Thanks for your support your answer makes me feel more secure

Here’s a link to my Car Buying Playlist if you wanna watch more :) kzfaq.info/sun/PLOmIpJDqCR-L6xTFH83iG-hGK9aDpy17r

Going to look at a used car tomorrow this was very helpful !! 👍🙏

I’m a manager at a Nissan dealership and I like watching videos like this once and while to get an idea of what customers are researching before they come into the dealership. This turned out to be a really good video and a lot of the information you gave was correct. I usually use those things that you said when closing a deal with a customer, like showing them what the average person has paid, using Truecar or Edmunds. All the information is online for customers to see so being transparent is the best policy. Here in LA the competition for used cars at the auto auction is tough and the margins are a lot less than 10%, you’d be surprised. Most used cars we lose money after we get them certified from the manufacturer because the guidelines cost a lot of money(for example paying $300 for a new key because the last owner didn’t give it to us or removing aftermarket tires to get it back to stock). We make up for the cost with financing and selling manufacturer extended service contracts that can help save money on future repairs. I hate when customers come in to offer cash. I’ve had people drive from Nevada, San Diego and every San Francisco to get a deal on a used vehicle because we price below market average but it just hurts when they pay cash. Some customers we make money on and some you lose money on. I enjoyed your video because your are giving accurate info on what to expect and look out for when buying a car from a dealer but not bashing on the sales people. We’re normal people who want to make a fair living too and sales is great to have a great working environment and talk to people from different backgrounds that you normally wouldn’t meet and have the opportunity to gaveconversations with.

Nice video. I would only add to go to your local credit union or your bank for financing first. You can always have the dealership try to beat their best rates.

You can also get sedans much cheaper now as most people are buying SUVs. Attempt to stay away from cvt transmission when possible. There reliability rate are in the shitter.

Most knowledgeable video on used car buying i have seen.

I’ve been looking at a 2014 Cruze with 80k and this was the perfect video. Thanks for the video

Omg, I'm so stressed

So informative! Thanks for your wisdom. This is the best video on this subject I have ever watched!

Just finding a cigarette butt in it doesn't mean it was smoked in. My wife doesn't smoke in her car but she also doesn't throw the butt on the ground. That means that sometimes it ends up in a pocket, which it can fall out of, or she put it there to throw out later.

My wife had like 10 owners. Should I be concerned?

I went to 2 different dealerships looking into buying a used vehicle and neither one of them wanted to negotiate. I was told by the salesman that the price shown was the lowest they could go. I told them there is reason to continue talking if they did not want to negotiate and they let me leave.

This is a super super super late comment for something like this video but heres a few tips I can offer anyone looking to purchase after I the majority of my younger years were spent working in the business! Buying a new car is vastly different from a Pre-Owned, so I wont focus on that right now. First, KBB is so so far off it isnt even worth looking at. Black book clean wholesale, plus or minus a few hundred dollars, is a good idea of what the dealer is going to own the vehicle for after their shop costs. They will often market the vehicle somewhere around NADA clean retail and most likely only have 500-1000 of wiggle room in this day and age. Always request a CarFax and check the VIN as well as ask for the Dealer’s RO(Internal Repair Log). Make sure you test the brakes for vibration and the transmission to see if it slips when you test drive. No dealer will mind if you take the vehicle to your own trusted mechanic as long as you dont keep the vehicle too long or cause any damage. If a vehicle has history from being up north, also ask if they can put it on a rack for you in their shop to check for rust/leaks. ***The best deal when it comes to reliability is going to be any brand’s Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles OR a vehicle that originated as a CORPORATE vehicle(listed on CarFax), a vehicle from out of the US, or a manufacturer buyback(Just make sure they provide a 1-2yr warranty at no cost to you on these).

Ok. I sell both new and used cars at a large dealership. First most of the comments on this are false just as a rule. Secondly don't buy a car from a dealer. Lastly you never EVERRRRR "got the best deal on a car possible." The store owner always has a pack. New or used.

Jason, thank you so so much for such a useful video. You are the genius in what you are doing. Your video is like a guide, an instruction that covers and explains everything an inexperienced buyer needs to know. I am looking for a used car, really can't pay more than 200 for a loan..I have so many other issues in life..and my old car broke. I am a female with kids. After watching your video I at least know where to start.

I want to buy a used car. Some one advised me on getting a loan from the bank in the form of a certified check and look for a set price. And work around the dealers financials. And just pay for the car directly to the bank.

Thanks so much for educating us in plain, simple to understand presentation. You provide awesome content for those who are clueless and essentially we are all clueless. Best wishes

Don’t ever get a used car from any used dealership. Because most people don’t have good credit so your paying high interest rate. Next thing your 5k car is 9k . Plus the role the car right from the car auction . And if you get a car spend the extra 100$ to have a car mechanic take a look at your car . ✌🏼

I like this guy! He is giving some great tips!

To add to this, get a used car that is backed up with good history of reliability. In that case, I highly recommend Toyota or Honda as the best used car in the market. Dont go for European cars for used car because they cost an arm and leg just to maintain and often they break a lot. I have a 2005 infiniti G35 with 192k miles and still running good with little maintenance and repairs. I also had a 2012 vw jetta which is a problematic car to begin with and I regret buying this car. Good thing I have bought extended warranty in this car because of the repairs I put on this car. Eventually I traded it in to a 2010 scion xB and by far more reliable and also by miles a lot affordable to maintain.

Good advice. I appreciate your presentation delivery: straight to the point and without any overly dramatic emphasis.

I've bought a Nissan that was a rental it was is extremely good condition never had a problem

Great video! Well made, concise, to the point, and great presentation of the advice. Thanks!

I've bought 3 cars since 2014: New 2014 Dodge Avenger (2014) Used 2016 Chevy Cruze (2017) Used 2014 Jeep Wrangler (2019) I was bent over at the dealership with the Dodge. The salesmen didn't care whether I was getting a good deal or not, he just wanted a sale. I just kinda went to "look" and left with a new car and 3X the payment I had. Did zero research. Told myself never again. Bought the Cruze from CarMax. Got pre-approved before buying it. CarMax was a solid experience. My wife loves the car. So by the time I got around to buying the Jeep Wrangler, I was ready. I walked in with pre-approved financing from my credit union. I had a number in mind as to what I wanted for my Dodge (it took me 4 years and an $8k paydown plus paying for the price of the vehicle in principle and interest on the loan to refi it where I could manage it and maybe trade it in) and confidently went in. I was looking for $5800, which wasn't unreasonable for a '14 with 86k miles on it that was in really great shape mechanically and was kept clean. I took it to the car wash and vacuumed it out prior to going to the dealership. So when they came in from briefly looking at it and said they'd give me $4k for it, I told them "no", that it's worth more than due to its condition. So the manager "drives" it on the lot and magically adds and additional $1400 to the trade in value. It's close enough. I make above average income, but my credit has been suffering (thanks to the first Dodge car loan), so I got a single digit interest rate (mine was close to 18% for the Dodge the first time) and a payment only $100ish more per month financing over twice the amount I owed on the Dodge. I looked everything over: the Carfax, the recall repair paperwork, the inspection documents. I asked the guy to explain everything to me even if I knew what it was. Worked out for me. We took the Jeep from SC to NJ a few weeks later for the Holidays and had no issues.

Carfax doesn't always give you truth about accidents that the car had. I tracked a 1997 Cougar I used to own and I had 2 wrecks in and the insurance paid to have it fixed. I eventually traded for AWD SUV. I told the dealership about the accidents and repairs. When I tracked it on CARFAX at 6mons. and 1 year later, it never showed having any accidents. The first repair was done by a National Body Shop (Carstar) that was recommended by the Insurance Company, the other accident was by and Independent/Local Body Shop. So I don't who was supposed to report the accidents (Insurance Co, Body Shops, or Dealerships), to CARFAX, but they never got reported.

I bought a used Mazda from a Dodge dealer because of a great deal. It was obvious that the employees were trained SALESMEN and not trained CAR salesmen. I learned to always get the car checked by a mechanic. After just a couple of weeks after purchase, the paint ran off the right front fender. The Dodge dealer said take it to a Mazda dealer to see about the paint warranty. The Mazda dealer literally took one look at the car and said it had been in an accident but they would check for frame damage. Testing showed it wasn't Mazda paint on the fender. The Dodge dealer agreed to repaint the fender but I even had to have them redo the original job. They gave me a loaner and the battery died. The replacement loaner's battery died, too...

I call BS on the bad treatment of cars by drivers who rent them. What do you do differently? Do you race them? Ignore speed limits? Take curves too fast? Slam of the breaks all the time? Gun the engine at stop lights? What do you do to them?

The picture of the car on fire made me not want to get a used car anymore 😂😂

Actually, most cars lose 40%-55% in their first 3 years. Proof? Just look at residuals and research prices on 3 year old cars.

Awesome tips. Im looking for a used car this summer. Im more confident walking into a dealership. Thanks 👍
