transmission fluid lol My car doesn't have a dipstick for it like a lot of other cars Never mind that your brake fluid is low look at the color of your brake fluid it's more important it shouldn't be dark

I own 2 Toyota's One has over 200K miles and the other over 300K miles and both run like new! What's my secret? I use car care software youtube/3LUayHH1yZA to monitor each vehicles maintenance schedule and remind me when anything is due for service I generally do all my own maintenance so I know it's done right :)

I was buying a car that was a manual transmission the guy didn’t want me to test drive it then to me it was a red flag I wanted to drive it but the guy said I’ll be in passenger he’ll drive it but I wanted to make sure it has gears 1 thru 6 I’m a car mechanic and I needed to feel the car transmission so I told the guy sorry I’m not buying a car that I can’t test drive So never feel the pressure on buying a car there’s more out there I had money with and still the guy didn’t want me to test drive it

THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOULD BE CHECKED WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND HOT
Comment from : The Ultimate Male

Well done! As a service manager at a dealership, you hit on everything that I’d suggest Calling any parts store to ask what the most common part for that car they sell is and what it costs to replace CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED! brYou got a fan! Thanks for the video, you know your stuff! Cheers
Comment from : Mark wilson

Hi, I’m trying to buy a car it’s 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, with 25k miles, but the tires, the wheels, and the inside part of every doors are pretty worn out So I got suspicious about the miles, is there any way to check what’s the real miles?

Comment from : Melanie In Saskatchewan

Me and my husband got tricked by some dealer I won’t mention here But now we are trying to trade that trash they sold us and well, we’ll make sure this time nothing is wrong with the car brbrIt suppose to be honest people working in car dealers but nope, they just care about getting the paycheck and don’t even care if you have an accident going out the dealer like happened to us No lights, no nothing in the panel but the car stop working on our way home… brbrSo, thank you

You can't check the transmission with out starting the engine for at least 10 minutes
Comment from : Hakim Harrach16

Thanks your awesome
Comment from : Cooldude101

Thank you for this information This was very helpful for me to purchasing my new used vehicle
Comment from : L F

Another tip for a buyer is to check the motor mounts by revving the engine until it hits the Rev limiter than drop it in reverse than repeat with drive drive 2 than drive 1 if you hear any noise at all the cars junk
Comment from : John Charles

Just bought a car off someone He drove it down to my apartment which I thought was him just being nice but in reality he was hiding the fact that the car takes around 10 mins of revving the engine in the morning to prevent the engine from stallingbrIt seems to be a pretty big issue and looks like we might have to scrap it after only 1 week br So my advice would be to make sure the car is cold on test drive
Comment from : Eoghan Doyle

Can you do most of these checks at a dealership? Like is it allowed?
Comment from : agent 49

if there is an engine cover, lift it off and see if there are any mice nest or droppings i bought a 07 Avalon that the mice started to eat the wire harness lucky there wasn't any mice left and the damage wasn't too bad also, check for a spare tire and jack funny how though items seem to be missing

Comment from : Chikku Wikingz

It's also important to look underneath the car and check the condition of its chassis Make sure its strong and not showing signs of rotting
Comment from : comer pickles

Very well done Thank you
Comment from : John Coll

The video was really helpful! Thanks! btw, Which car was that which you inspected?
Comment from : Roman Ayub

Will this OBD2 reader cause the computer to have to be resetted?
Comment from : Chris F

In addition to those 12 amazing tips here are my 5 cents Check under the vehicle for extreme corrosion, chances are that the car was sitting near the sea and salt air would have damage parts under it When the car is turned on put a white cloth close to the tailpipe of the exhaust for about 5 seconds, If you get bits of oil on it that will tell you that the rings of the engine are worn out and it will need an engine overhaul soon Some people say that if the milage is at 200K, it will need overhaul soon Look around the engine for oil leaks, if there are any, simply don't buy it

I'm 33 and never bought a car My parents bought my first 3 (I paid them for the payments)br Then got married to a controlling woman who made sure her name was the only thing on these types of investments br 5 years later now im divorced and looking to buy a car
Comment from : TheAceOfSpades

Another good thing to look at are the filler caps for the oil and the coolant The oil filler cap is normally located atop of the valve cover The coolant caps are typically located directly atop the radiator Take each one off and inspect the bottoms of the caps Someone selling a vehicle with blown cylinder heads or bad gaskets, will change fluids but will almost certainly forget to clean off the evidence from the bottom of the caps
Comment from : Josh Willoughby

Thank you Thank you Thank you I feel more confident buying a older used vehicle Now I know what to look for
Comment from : Dawn Schmidt

sucks that we even have to deal with this stuff, can’t they just make selling a terrible car illegal or have a penalty
Comment from : Geeoh

Make sure the vin on the car matches the vin on the previous registration or title Someone got me with that not to long ago, but if I had just watched this video first I never would have bought it in the first place

Are Chevy's cheap to repair? I mean like parts, and are tires and parts hard to get? Looking at 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LT Turbo in the near future and it's priced at $2600 Would prefer a Honda but not finding one I likje I know Hondas are very cheap to repair since all the parts are so mass produced

Get a pre-purchased inspection
Comment from : sidharth chand

On many vehicles you can't check the transmission level with a dipstick anymore, you need a diagnostic tester that supports that function Also check for any open recalls, crashes etc:

My older brother bought this car 2 years ago But he did not realize that he bought the car at a higher price Now he wants to sell it, but he is not getting a fair price for the car, which is why he is now at a loss

Don't call the stealership
Comment from : The Music Lab

God knew that we weren't perfect and couldn't have fellowship with Him or that we could save ourselves so He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life He got nailed to the cross for you He got whipped and hit and he did it all for you crucifixion was the worst death ever and He did it for you because He loves you Now because of what Jesus did you can have a friendship with God u can be saved u can be forgiven be reconciliated with God be freed and more Get right with God today 🙏Jesus is coming soon and we have to be ready

You smell the oil on the dipstick to check for fuel leaking into crankcase it won't help changing the oil fuel residue will still be there
Comment from : Richard King

Every used car is going to have something wrong with it You got to deduct the cost of fixing it on the buying price

Comment from : rodrick Ziggy young

I looked at a Honda Fit with 66k for $8,500 Driver really nice, smooth and straight Needs spark plugs and valve cover gasket, but front passenger door is where I’m concerned Noticed the side mirror was a little misaligned, then noticed the cover for side mirror screws was missing, then noticed the window doesn’t go down all the way, and that the wiring is getting in the way inside the door panel that looks like it had been removed at some point Dash panel up against the the pillar looks a little misaligned as well Car fax says no accidents, but that the driver airbag had been replaced, but didn’t look like it was due to a recall, at list not listed as such Also in the carfax, said right rear window was replaced, though it was the right front that didn’t go down all the way Do you think this has been in an accident and that I should stay away or if I get them to knock off $500 for the valve cover, spark plugs, and window, it’s still a a good deal? Thanks

Look up the car on the internet for any recalls or defects And also read the reviews on Edmundscom You should also read up on the engine and get familiar with its technology and specs
