I just wanted to add.. as far as the windshield goes. Seals do NOT keep water out. They are purely cosmetic. The urethane holds the integrity of the windshield and keeps water out. The only way you would get a leak is if there was a missed connection in the glue bead or body seam issue. There would be other various reason for a leak. But just an example. Sunroof- same thing with the seal but it does keep debris somewhat out. The reason it would leak is if the drains are clogged and/or cracked. I love watching your videos! Very educational! Hope this helps others 🙂
The great thing about this series is how he shows the bad stuff vs the good stuff. Most other guys just verbally tell you what the bad stuff to avoid is, but you are just left to imagine what that stuff is supposed to look like. We have practical examples here.
Man you just changed everything for me! My old man RIP used to flip cars for a living as well anywho growing up he was tryna show me the game but I was too busy tryna be in the streets. Years later I see what he was tryna do. One of my biggest regrets not on the making money just the missed out time and memories with him had I listened. Love the content brother! If you’re looking for any old school vehicles I have a few, got a 86 Chevy blazer, 86 caprice classic, 86 suburban, 69 ford grand torino
Tell me about it my old man left me with 14 so yeah just thought I’d throw that out there since you actually flip cars for a living but hey it’s never to late to start right? Like I said these videos are helping out a lot that way I can have a better ideas of what price to put on them
@@BuddysDIY and yes Rest In Peace to the OG 🙏 my boy was a straight hustler from the get go an absolute expert at negotiating he loved tell me “watch this” and then chuckle
From all the years of fiddling with cars I had never thought of checking the seals. My dad bought a fairly new Skoda and when the first rain came the car got flooded. So people, CHECK YOUR SEALS
You deserve to have all the subs in the world bro. Just subbed, I love how you look for stuff but you go the extra mile to show us what bad parts might look like vs when they are new. Keep it up
I'm currently looking to buy a car so the timing of this video was on point. Also very nice and informative video. learnt a few things that i didn't know. Keep up the great work
I absolutely love this video creator, I like him more than ChrisFix, he is more thorough and explains this much better than ChrisFix. Definitely subscribing. Keep up the excellent work.
LOVE the vids but Buddy... @ 1:41 how you gonna block out only 1 of the 2 places showin the vin. Hehe, got a nice laugh outta it xD Keep up the good work & thanks for teaching us the ways.
Hey man keep on flippin! im in the process of buying a suv for my girlfriend and seriously i love the your videos.Its clear, simple and on point. You gained a new sub brother! i wish our trucks here in canada could be as rust free as yours haha. Here everything is rusted or welded by salt....
Buddy's Content is really awesome, even automobile nerd like me can easily understand what he is talking about. Thanks buddy, For keeping things simple and sweet.
Brother, first of all, this is a great channel! Don’t worry about views and subs, they’ll come! (I subbed btw) thanks for explaining your typical pre inspection routine!
1:00 actually it is super common for the hood and front bumper to be a little misaligned on these cars. There is not a ton of adjustment you can do to the hood and you have to remove and reinstall the front bumper if you want it to fit better. The rest of the seams should all be pretty good though, it seems to mostly be that front bumper that is a little wonky on most of them.
Hey Buddy, I am following along your 4 part inspection video series, and find it quiet helpful and easy to understand, as a non mechanical person. I cannot find part 4 of the series ? But in any case the knowledge I have gained from the first three videos has been quite helpful. 45 mins into the used car inspection I was carrying out today on a possible purchase, the sellers anger and irritation, and his pressure on me to hurry up ! was such that we parted ways after 45 mins into a likely two hour inspection I was determined to carry out, between checking the vehicle and paperwork, and test drive. But in that time, thanks to your comprehensive videos I noted blue smoke , on accerlation, from the exhaust, never a good sign ! alignments, spring, suspension issue on one front tyre, engine warning light not extinguishing. After a look underneath, an exhaust system that was corroded, a rusted hole in the petrol tank ! 'Its only £1500 pounds, what do you expect, he exclaimed', . That's a lot of money to me, along with a possible tax of £700, co2 emission's !, insurance, £ 400, repairs bills another £1500, so quiet a lot actually. So I appreciate your knowledge, and keep up the good work.
Hey Buddy, Im curious as to how you handle the title for cars you’re flipping, In my case I live in Florida and I believe that requires a dealers license to do. I know many people that just jump titles but Im wondering how you handle it.
we can see very clearly the difference between a caring owner of the bmw, and not so caring owner of the highlander, bmw owner took good care and made sure the dings and chips of pain wont cause it to rust, even if it had some minor issues, they've been atleast patched up and not left to cause even more damage.
Does hand held machines for CODE READING tell specific engine motor problems or even transmission problems? Or is that only able to be diagnosed when a mechanic opens up the engine?
If you get a cheap one it’s usually not very specific. However, you can usually google the code it gives you and get much more info. You can find what issues usually throw that code and find some fixes that helped other people. Hope this helps
Get a pre-purchase inspection from a mobile mechanic! It’s like $100-$200 and you’ll usually get your money back in documented issues you can use to bring the price down I followed videos and the mechanic found like 8 things I missed 😂
I bought a 2005 CLK 500 Mercedes, that doesn't have a key, I watched the Jeep Commander video,where you programmed the key with a OBD 2 scanner,can this be done with right scanner for the Mercedes-Benz?
I love the channel and appreciate all of the knowledge you share. Just wanted to let you know the plastic Around the windshield that’s called a moulding, not all windshields have them. They are cosmetic. The urethane adhesive underneath the glass keeps it sealed from air and water, with our without the moulding.
Where do you sell your cars from do you have a lot? Friends/family lot? Your driveway? And how many cars without having a dealers license can you buy an sell a year? Bought my first car to fix and flip just not sure how to grow
The stuff in the video doesn't really matter, so what if it has rock chips, or a little bit of rust, you can fix that for cheap. I'll say firstly you want to inspect the person selling the car, if it is the owner of it and had it for a long period of time or a reseller. If its the first I'll ask if/when it changed the timing belt/chain on the car and if it has a service history of the oil changes. That's the main causes of engine failure...
I would love to see you do a radio change from the manufacturer standard radio to a tesla touchscrean in a 2007 jeep grand CHEROKEE start to finish, as well as upscale seat change, i am upgreading my car and would love to see how you did it so i can do it step by step, love your content, i am new sub and so far I'm invested. Thank you so much.
are fender bends easy to fix or they have to be replaced? mine is aluminum, and its bent outwards a little, can something like that be fixed easily by a shop?
I went to go see a 1995 z28 camaro the other day it was very moldy inside and when I checked the undercarriage it was too rusty for the miles on it... walked away when I slid my finger across the tail pipe and came back black and oily
This is good for cars but on trucks, especially older ones your going to spend almost all of your time looking underneath. You can look under a truck for 5 minutes and be amazed of the rust you can miss. Being in the salt belt sucks.
I have a opportunity to look at a car that's been in storage for a year. It's 500 or best offer. 9 people are interested in it. How do I get him to let me try to crank it over when somebody else already said they would buy it in the comments on marketplace.
Great video mate!, just wondering do you own a car dealership or do you just flip cars through facebook marketplace, kelly blue books etc. Be nice to do a video and show us the process of advertising the cars, how to sell them and what not to etc. Great video keep it up!!
The end brings up a question. I have an older camry and when i start it a little smoke comes out the back... what can that mean and what can i do to fix it?
So it's just a little smoke it's probably condensation. That's not big deal. Not if it's a decent cloud then it could be a head gasket failing. A little smoke upon start is okay. If it's constant then that's no bueno. Of course when it's cold out there will be a constant stream of smoke and that's okay. But I'm sure it's just condensation in your case. If you want you can send me a video on my instagram account and I'll tell you forsure
my truck has 166,000 miles on the dash but look up my own truck in vehicle history and it has a maintenance record of 331,000 miles. Do you think I was scammed? or the page could have been wrong Thank you

You rly think?! Better than the car flips?!
Yes buddy ...flipping is entertainment for majority of us but this is really useful
But as you might have noticed, flips get you views
@@BuddysDIY This is more useful. Flips are informative and entertaining.
How did you fix the door stop on the highlander? Pretty sure you didn't include it in your highlander flip video.
What a channel!!

Where do you sell your cars from do you have a lot? Friends/family lot? Your driveway? And how many cars without having a dealers license can you buy an sell a year? Bought my first car to fix and flip just not sure how to grow
sir do you have document process on cars u flip? like deed of sale, something like that

It would be amazing if you could find pages like Keller Blue book and car history for Europe market:) Nice content, keep ti up!!!
I believe CarVertical is available in Europe, not totally sure though
when you covered the vin you left the other vin right under it at 1:40

Hey man to buy, fix and sell cars as a full time job. Do you need a dealer license ?
I’m pretty sure you don’t. You would if you were buying from an auction but not from random people
9:50 Pretty sure you need to have the tires off the ground before you do the movement test.
You can test it when it's still on the ground like he showed
Would you recommend this specific car for other people? Reliability wise
