If a warning light has been disabled it won't turn on at all where as it should always come on at first to indicate that it is still functioning.

I'd say that's a one-sided test. I've seen cars that don't flash the check engine light upon startup, so seeing it proves that it works. If it doesn't light up, then it's indeterminate, and you need to bust out the scanner to see if it's working but stupid or broken

Recently went to a Honda dealer with my son to look at a 2019 Honda Fit Sport used with low miles my son is 21 and a ASE certified mechanic . It pulled hard to the left after test drive we popped the hood and noticed the car was repainted the front Bumper was replaced and you can see slight over spray near the rubber parts , also he heard a rattle when turning the steering wheel only way that will happen is if they replaced the air bag . After looking further it had a chunk taken out of one of the wheel beads the car was in a accident they acted like they didn't know this happens at the high end Dealers as well not the mom and pop shops .........it was a year old with 12-15k Wolf's in sheep's clothing out there

What we believe is that it was a lease return and the person that was on the lease got into an accident and they didn't report it to Honda they had it fixed at an independent body shop and then when the lease was up they turned the car back in and the Honda dealer didn't check that car in properly.

The undercarriage was taken apart and all skid plates, frame, painted and undercoated. Bushings, brakes no cracks, rot or squeaks. Tires 32s have a couple of years left . I feel like I got a very good deal. Also I feel I got to it just in time to save the runner from neglecte. The couple had back to back babies it was the wife's truck. They are the 4th owner! Car fax records came back perfect. I also ran the vin through a app . Perfect also telling me it should have 225,000 miles and a buy from owner owned 8,500. He was asking 7,500.00 All I had was 6,000. Good deal! In the beginning perfect truck 4 them 2 kids. His plans were to keep it. He restored undercarriage and 2.5 body lift, tinted glass, touch screen stereo, nice basket on top. I planned to do all this on a stock runner got lucky. So all these babies bought Suburban. 4runner sat. Needs painted roof and hood. This is the only must Roof. Surface rust from basket. Galactic gray metallic. Engine compartment dirty. Dust everything. Oil quart low, radiator low .interior filthy spills sticky. I love to detail. It looks bran new now .I'll have it painted this summer.

Scotty, great tips! I'm 34F that had my dad look at any car I'm buying through the years. I now have 2 daughters of my own that I'll be helping buy cars in the very near future. My dad lives pretty far away now and these tips will not only help me buying a "new to me" used car right now, they will help me with my daughters. Some useful information I can pass on to them for their future kids too!

I've been watching Scotty for a while now so I started to listen to him. I went to a Ford dealership to buy a used Pontiac vibe (same platform as a Toyota Matrix) with 65k miles they had posted on their website at a reasonable price. After a lot of negotiating they would honor the posted price only if I took their in-house financing, no cash purchase allowed. Bunch of nonsense. I remembered Scotty's advice then and there "never buy a used car at a dealership". Great tips Scotty, keep it up!

@user-vz2et1sg8c 4 жыл бұрын

Cause they would make 2 times the money on their interest rates. if you wanna buy a car from dealership get a loan from the bank directly with your own financing set up. DO NOT get the dealership financing, its a scam and they will rip you off.

Couldn't you take the financing then just pay it off at once next week. They can't stop you from doing that.

I NEVER buy a used car from ANY dealership. I've warned my father in law time again about used cars from these places and he's gotten ripped off, repossessed and lemons more times than I have fingers. I finally got him to buy a friend of mine's car because he was leaving the state and simply could not take the car with him . He only paid 500 dollars for it and he got a steal !!

Back when I was looking at cars I saw this nice looking FRS, as soon as I started the vehicle it was blowing white smoke (this was during the summer mind you) and the salesman said "that's only because it hasn't been used in a week". The end of story was I ran as fast as I could from that dealer.

Good advice, Scotty! I have completed many of the ideas that you suggested for buying a good used car (for myself and others) over the years. But, the previous owner disabling the error codes had not occurred to me. thanks for your tips! Another tip is sound while driving the car. Turn the stereo off and open the windows when driving and accelerating. Often you can pick up higher speed sounds when the car is driving that didn't show up when the hood was open and the engine was running at idle. Thanks, Scotty!

The first I notice about a vehicle here in Minnesota: if it's really rusty, then turn away as that's a sign of bad or nonexistent maintenance. 2nd thing I check is the underbody and the frame. 3rd thing I check is if it hesitates, walk away as it could be an o2 leak or an engine problem.
