You are a gem. Honest and informative. Wouldn't mind buying a car from you at all.

The last car I bought was at a small dealer and they just let me take on a test drive alone. It was nice to get to drive how I normally would drive without a worried salesman

[Beardalorian]

Why in the HELL aren't all car salesmen like you? I would buy from you all day. I stay away from dealers because of the salesmen.

You should have done this on one of your low budget cars, the ones that may actually have issues you can point out.

That transmission doesn't have gears, it a CVT. I test drive and look over a lot of cars for customers, friends, and family. I do a few more things. I look under the hood, make sure I don't see anything obvious, and look for any signs of rodents. I also test every single switch and button, and windows, and door lock switches, etc. I check all lights. Some of the HID headlights are insanely expensive. I look in the trunk. I take a quick look underneath to make sure it's not rotted and nothing is bent. I also run my finger along all the body panels and make sure the gaps are even. This will tell you most often if it's been in a major collision. I always drive a car till it up to temp and then check the exhaust a second time.

If the carfax shows a wreck, check for misaligned doors and trim. Make sure nothing rattles.

I’m a first time car buyer and I learned a lot from your vlogs. Thank you for your help!

I have been in sales now for 3 years almost 4 and I have to say I love what your doing for the industry! I hear horror stories all the time and teach my customers a lot of the same things you preach on for how to buy a vehicle! I work for a small dealership and im fortunate to work for a dealer with ethics who taught me the correct way to sell! Keep it up my friend and keep tearing down the stereotype of the car sales professional! We aren't all bad and it is a great profession! Thank you!

[melissawittman]

Thank you for all of your videos. I am a recent widow that needs to purchase a used car for the first time on my own. I feel more confident after watching several of your videos.

I think it’s important to also take a full circle at slow speed with the wheel locked to the left and then to the right both in forward and reverse. You can tell steering and suspension issues from that

[margieconnell]

This is the second time I’ve watched some of your videos. First I’d like to say to you and your family thank you so much for your service. It means a lot to me. I’d like to say also your videos are so helpful, upbeat, clear and concise. Thank you for your honesty.

Chevy Dude...I want to thank you for being so open and honest. I just happened across your videos by accident, and having worked 5 years as a Service and Parts guy, thought I'd listen. Very Impressed!! I do know what dealers do to make money up front and in the back. And it's nice to see honesty. I appreciate for several reasons: 1) I've worked the industry, 2) I know the tricks, 3) as a Marine, your son has clearly passed on the Honir and integrity we learn being in the Corps, 4) I appreciate you having been a Firefighter as I am currently a first responder as well (a detective). While I haven't owned a chevy since the early 2000's (currently own a 2011 Fors F150...wifes truck, and I drive my first Dodge....which I love....a 2002 Dodge Ram 4.7L with 214k original miles) I would drive from Texas to do business with you. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work. Ok, done rambling...👍🇺🇸

Just purchased a 2015 Toyota Avalon Touring XLS with your tips and I am in loooove!! I brought my brother in law who is a mechanic and gave me a seal of approval. I asked your 6 questions and negotiated smoothly and I want to thank you so much fkr your videos!!

One thing to check in the winter time, the air-conditioning. I bought a two year van. I didn't check the air conditioner. Summer came, I turned on the AC. It didn't work. That was a 500.00 dollar lesson.

[glennwisse]

Make sure the car was parked overnight. When the start it and move it, look for liquids on the asphalt. (Oil/rx transmission fluid /antifreeze.

[cherylmedeiros]

Can't believe you have a son old enough to be in the military! You look really young. Buy hey, that was some very good and important info! Wish your dealership was in Hawaii!

If you wanna know how to test drive a car in this video jump to 6:55 and stop at 14:40.
After initially backing out stop and inspect the pavement where the car was to check for puddles of any kind of fluids. Drive the car long enough until it reaches its working temperature. When you're back in the lot open the hood and inspect the compartment inside and underneath and check for leaks

[sidharthchand]

Do a prepurchase inspection if the dealer says we don’t allow it, walk away this is especially true for 10-year-old cars

[bobbypickle]

I believe a man is only as good as his word, and your honesty without a hidden agenda shows me that you stand by your word and are trust worthy. Thanks just for the honesty

open hood look for any leaks on hose connections. make sure heater works even in the summer, make sure alignment is good, open windows and listen for wheel/bearing/brake/engine pulley noises. Turn radio on test every speaker, play with everything in the car, every mirror, lights, seats and so on.
