[mindovermatter]

Buying a car off of a senior citizen is a good idea, probably not driven hard and likely not a criminal or scammer. That is if you don’t mind owning a beige Buick Century.

[ninjamaster]

Be a good guy. Flag scams.

Theres people scraping by who can lose everything just trying to buy a car to get to work.

[bwilliams]

Where on earth can I find a lexus with 60k on it for $4, 000? Jeeez what a steal

[samg]

"there's lots of dishonesty in the world" *shows a picture of the US capitol😂😂

[mycommonsense]

one more thing, make sure the vin number on the title matches the car's.

[chrisvance]

Don't forget to always pay attention to the lamps on the instrument panel. The cel should light up for a few seconds before you actually start the car . I've seen used cars with the check engine lamp removed . Nice tip if you don't have a scanner when looking at a car

[cliffordgill]

"I took my car to the mechanic and he said there was nothing wrong with it" BIG RED FLAG!!!

[LetsGetABag]

Who else watches scotty instead of cable? 😭🤣 I sat down with lunch "awh I guess a little scott want hurt"
Luv you scotty! For all the knowledge

Someone I know once went to check out a car from CL. The pictures posted were many and car looked in great condition. He gets there and it was on blocks, rotting, paint chipping etc. Seller says “the pictures are showing what it could look like”

[MrTruth]

4:00 ''And no Mercedez-Benz dealer is ever gonna tell you there is nothing wrong with your car'' ahahaha

[elmerfudd]

Scotty, hook those arms up to an electrical generator, save thousands in energy bills.

[marcelj]

I watched what the scammers do at Wal-Mart just before a sale...shine the tires...quick AC charge...quick battery charge...install a dealership license plate paper as though it came from a legitimate dealer...(they pretend that it came from a dealership)

[rustedratchetgarage]

Never buy the the old "runs good just needs a starter or just needs a fuel pump" cause ive seen people disable the starter or fuel pump to sell a car with a bad engine or trans mission or if it just needs a thermostat or radiator cause it gets hot well I'm most likly a bad headgasket and they are just trying to pass it off as a minor repar

[LH-zhiu]

Scotty you should do an undercover show on this topic.

[Ritalie]

Man this guy was put on Earth to explain used car buying. Thank you Scotty! Great video!

[paxonearth]

If you tied Scotty's hands behind his back he wouldn't be able to speak.

[EduardoVerastica]

There's a lot of dishonesty in the world. *Shows a picture of the government* 😂

[gndesign]

I have sold a lot of cars on Craigslist. You get the crazies and you meet the nicest people sometimes. Just part of the process.

[darwyndehnke]
