It’s cute that the body shop bothered to smooth both side of the headlight bracket to make it less noticeable but decided to screw it in completely differently on one of them

Sam this was one of the best quality videos about looking over a used car for panel gaps, paint imperfections and frame damage. Excellent work!

When I buy my next car in Florida I’m taking you with me. Lol. Great video.

Sam, I normally don't comment much, just give thumbs up, however I wanted to thank you for this video, common sense, but very informative. Thank you.

Great video, Sam. My $.02 from experience is NEVER buy a used car when it is raining. I misled one of my nephews and I still feel badly about it. Paint was absolute crap.

I love autotempest, havent bought anything from there yet but ive got my eye on a particular car and its probably the best place to go for that. Wouldnt have known without your help!

Hmm AMG car? I'm more of a BMW M kind of guy so I say pass. Can you pass the for sale ad over though? Asking for a friend.

Doug the type of guy crash his own car and tell everyone he got it from copart.

The people who say, “I would never buy a car that’s been in an accident” are absolute idiots. 99% of the time those cars are in better condition than their “clean title” counterparts.

Sam...you need a sl65 amg for the wife...I'm pretty sure she's your occasional who puts up with a car guy deserves the best

Cars were in a front end collision usually repaired with third market parts, it's possible to identify these parts because there aren't any OEM logos stamped on them. In the case of your fiesta st i noticed the bonnet and radiator support without ford logos on them. This is another thing to considered when to inspect an used car.

Glad to see the DXP Car is still here!!

2:48 That symmetry assumes that the openings are the same size on each side of the car... so that wouldn't work for an AMC Pacer where the passenger door is larger than the driver's.

I think you hit the nail on the head, people will tell you endless how they would never buy a branded title car, but in my experience as long as it wasn't bodged together and the sell is up front about the branded title, the discount is well worth it.

I can confirm that some ford models have come with some slight overlay from the doors. This is very present on my moms ford focus and my 2015 ford f-150 extended cab longbox.

Missing labels on the hood is a good sign to...normally hoods have the decal for engine size and other info and if missing also good sign. And overspray on other parts lol...not sure if youll mention em..later in vid..since im commenting halfway through lol.

That CLK55 is hot. I have a 04 e55 and my biggest surprise was the maintenance, or lack there of it. Everyone’s heard the horror stories but I’m here to tell you almost 2 years into the ownership and at 180k miles that as long as you take care of your car (ie regular oil changes etc) it will be fine. No regrets from me. I hope you buy the clk!

This video is brilliant for anyone buying a used car, even from a main dealer
