Seriously. My Jeep Compass is getting there, and I've already had to replace the throttle control, the A/C system (thankfully covered by the warranty at the time), and one of the CV axles is leaking... ugh. Worst purchase I've ever made when it comes to cars.

Take care of them and they last. My WJ is at about 238k on original trans.

Lol

@@hankrhill324 some ditzy housewife isnt going to “take care of” an ancient truck made by the world’s worst automaker. They need to drive a camry

i think this mechanic knew it was a bad vehicle simply because one of the first things mechanics start learning is what year make and model cars are known for which problems and which ones go the most miles . he is not a very wise person for doing that to a coworker at a school where he teaches auto mechanics . i could see how this can possibly get him fired from being a mechanics teacher at that school .

Wait a minute you just described my mother in law, Steve is that you?

@@Channel-JJ LOL, I'm Chris. But sounds like Steve is sick of hearing that crap too.

@@89Mirageman 👍

There's lots of cheap and reliable cars out there. Old Toyotas, Hondas, Buicks, Crown Vic (Ford), etc., etc., etc. You just have to find them. AND you just have to get a pre-purchase inspection before you buy the car.

I have a cousin that does this same thing smh

I have an 03 trailblazer I thought about letting it go for 1500 but I know I’m still going to get an asshole complaining after I sell it as if they don’t know they’re buying a 19 year old truck

Right, 15 years and 200,000 miles. You will have problems, expect them.

lol> She will next time, it's one of life's learning lessons.

A mechanic can overlook a mistake like anyone else I hate she says that like there is some guarantee in it because it's not , SMH 💯

not necessarily it depends on how well the car was taken care of. 200k miles is nothing now days. Also depends on the Vehicle manufacturer as well.

@@rodboijones7390 I had a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 w/Hemi. It had 189K miles when I traded it in. The truck was meticulously maintained, it looked good inside and out but it's inevitable for things to go south with that many miles just like I experienced with my truck. Your experience might be different but I speak from personal experience. If you buy a vehicle with 200K miles you are most likely going to have issues.

i think he lied and i think this mechanic knew it was a bad vehicle simply because one of the first things mechanics start learning is what year make and model cars are known for which problems and which ones go the most miles . he is not a very wise person for doing that to a coworker at a school where he teaches auto mechanics . i could see how this can possibly get him fired from being a mechanics teacher at that school .

@@marleonetti7 why would he put himself in an uncomfortable situation and his reputation on the line at his work place where he actually teaches? There was no issue at first, she couldn’t replicate her alleged issue in front of him nor could he replicate it in front of her.. perhaps she isn’t having her foot firmly on the brake when switching from reverse to drive? I’ve done that before when wearing heels in my own car it was truly user error, meaning me. when firmly applying the break switching gears there’s zero issues. buyers remorse in my opinion or unrealistic expectations. Who’s to say she didn’t hit a pothole or something on her way home causing damage herself? But when they are together in the car it doesn’t happen? I think buyers remorse. I don’t think there’s any bad intent on his part and he offered to help her but she herself said she JIST wanted her money back and refused his help.

@@Blueeyedjenn14 a mechanic of all people would know that even if a older used car seems to be running ok at the time its sold , it can have a problem at any time after they first drive it away and so i still think a mechanic of all people working at a school is unwise to sell a used vehicle to a coworker.

@@marleonetti7 of course unwise…. the old saying “never shhhhT where you eat” comes to mind and that’s why I couldn’t think why he would jeopardize his own interests, especially his career on purpose intentionally selling to a colleague… I have no dog in this fight, don’t know them and doesn’t effect me but I don’t see why anyone be dumb enough to be malicious - especially when he still offered to fix the car weeks/months after the fact to help her. We can simply agree to disagree, I was just simply sharing my two cents not worth half that, much like you did! Take care

No he's wrong and he found a way to get away with it

Exactly!

She thought she had a legit case. Go figure.

Exactly. She could have easily said get out and let me show you but she didn't. Just somebody else that wants a brand new car for $3000 smh.

I seriously think she expected him to be her personal repair man if anything happened since she worked with him 🤦

Who cares, she's black and all he saw was "ignorance."

Ha Ha Ha Ha...

Great idea!

☺️ YES! GREAT THINKING JOANNA 👍

Oh so good to hear these words.....he cheated her knowingly, since he was a mechanic.

@@sudhakhristmukti1930 no. As the judge said, when plaintiff test drove the car, it was fine.

Great idea because thats what my teacher did when i was in automechanics. We would actually fix peoples cars.

He does that's why the school moved the nurse's office next to his classroom.

@@Channel-JJ 😂🤣😂

He can see you! 👁👁 😂😂😂

@@ShabazzStone 😂🤣😂

You mean his smile?

She said tht for sympathy.

I was looking for this comment.

It didn't have any cash in the trunk but it did have a half pack of Winstons an old sock and a dead mouse, that's got to be worth something right. 😉

🤣🤣🤣🤣

👍

Lmao how did he rip her off she’s a grown ass woman she could’ve went somewhere else 💀 she ripped herself off

I challenge you to find anything running and driving for $3000.

@@mexicanspec Exactly! Most $3000 cars probably need another $3000 in maintenance. If she wanted a brand new car Jeep will sell her one for $40,000 lol.

@@89Mirageman I hated selling cheap cars. Somebody with $3000 has only $3000. The car has to be perfect. With a more expensive car if the car needs tires, they will buy tires. It was frustrating.

@@mexicanspec So true.

Not realistic what? Come on 15 years old with 200,000 shouldn't it be just like a new car 😂

The car should have been 500

Don't support those people, just pay their docking fee going back home

You didn't see the same case I did. When she test drove it, it didn't make any of those sounds. Also the mechanic she took it to tried to sell her new rear shocks even though they were new. What else on the list really didn't need to be done?

@@mexicanspec she sure didn't watch the same case...

All cars with high miles will need some work to bring to back to new car condition

@@residentgang489 my point is he knew since he's a mechanic and didn't disclose any of that to her or he's not that good of a mechanic.

Yes ....my thoughts exactly. He took advantage of her trust as a mechanic and co-worker. People are quick to rain heavily on the cheated person. It is the cunning cheater that must be shamed and blamed. For doing this, he lost his trust with someone he has to work with.He did this because she was naive and a woman. May divine justice get him.

So as a female mechanic, I’ll explain why you’re wrong. Things are sometimes hanging on by a thread and we as techs can’t see it because it’s internal. What works today, may not work in a few hours anymore. ESPECIALLY transmission parts. I noted that the mechanic she took it to didn’t explain why she was getting the clunk during shifting. He only mentioned things he could see. Which is a routine inspection. Diagnostics is something different and will require tear down.

Sounds like motor mounts to me. 9 times out of 10 I get people who think their transmission is going because they get a loud bang sound when they shift. It’s the motor slamming into the firewall.

That Hairline is super rough too!! Yikes 💯

The 04 was a great year for those cars but change that timing belt!

@@ProfessionalKenny thank u for that heads up! 🥰 I’m still learning this car.

If it was my car I'd have to take it to their mechanic and watch him check it over. For all I know they're just using my car to run errands and then bring it back after they're done saying they'll pass on buying it.

Even if you have a notarized statement from the UAF, Unicorn Association of Fairyland, saying it was blessed? 😆
