blame sellers because more often than not sellers don't ever get anything inspected or even simply looked over they just put the stuff up cheap and people jump at that because who wants to pay close to $100,000 for a generic family car these days when you can buy a cheap fixer-upper and ignore what needs to be fixed right then and there
Because it's too embarrassing to tell the seller that you don't know anything about vehicles. And if they're shady, most sellers would probably balk at the buyer trying to test drive into the nearest auto shop for an inspection.
"declined repairs and said he'd be selling the car" That sounds worrisome, if he wants to get his money back, is he going to disclose the screwed-up bushings or let the next buyer find out?
tbh he could get away with it even with disclosing the stuff because BMWs go for a decent chunk depending on the model even with broken parts and whatnot
I can't help but wonder if any mechanic has been accused of causing damage to a vehicle's frame or body when plucking chunks of rust from them: "Hey! that's what was holding it together! I was going to reinforce it with spray foam when I got home." 😆
@@DanielRemains What happens in those instances? Something tells me they get the police involved and are subsequently served justice then banned from the garage forever.
Buying a car from Facebook Marketplace without a thorough inspection prior to the transaction..... you might as well have sent that money to that Nigerian prince who emailed you for help.
@@61rampy65He promised you $5,000,000, as well? All I had to do was help him out of a jam, just this one time, and give him $10K, I would get the $5M after he straightens things out. I'd like to go on continuing to hope that it's true. Maybe our time zones are so far off, and that's why it's taken over 4 tears to receive it.
Sounds like someone tampered with the odometer! Unless that car sat more than it was driven. But typically, a car driven that little tends to be a classic or antique and is garaged!
Since they didn't say the year of the car(or i missed it) I work with people that don't drive very far, they have 20 yr old cars, daily driver to work and back, 30k miles on it. But they are rusted all to crapola in town roads are far more salted. I'm not saying my 29 yr old car isn't rusty but I don't have chunks missing and you can't punch the frame with a hand and bust any of it(besides busting your hand).
5:19 - I'll bet ya anything they had cloudy taillights and they tried the heat method to clear them up but put a little too much heat on them. Or they parked too close to the campfire while camping.
I've seen windows with reflective tint on houses cause death-rays that melt vinyl siding on their neighbors house with the sun hits just right and the reflected beam is semi-focused. I wonder if reflective window tint got another victim here
Those XF model Jaguars were just re-panelled & rebranded Ford vehicles from when Ford owned the company, .... .....so buyers shouldn't expect anything better!
That badly rusted Impala. That is why I go to all the trouble and work of rolling around on the garage floor Fluid Filming inside and out of everything I can reach on the underside, to try to keep it from getting that bad. I could swear, the newer vehicles rust as bad or worse than the older ones. The plastic panels keep them looking nice, and the paint stays shiny, but they are rust buckets underneath. The Auto makers have been making cars for well over a hundred years and apparently still haven't found a cost effective way to keep them from rusting to oblivion.
Why would you need to buy a new car if it's reliable and doesn't rust. Also, I'm convinced this is a conspiracy with the govt to salt roads. They dump salt here for flurries when the ground temp is 50*. And I mean DUMP. The road looks snow covered there's so much salt.
I've seen 5 year old Nissans with bad rust to where the sub frame needed replacement and this wasn't even in any rust belt states. I swear they build them already rusted
'eyy nice to see one of my wtfs in here. The Broken Control arm thing I never seen before, as it wasn't even rusty. Customer was still driving it, complained of clunking. So when I got him into the shop, I was surprised to see it was just... disconnected like that. No signs of damage other than just cracked off. still a factory control arm as well, so not like shoddy aftermarket part. No idea how it just... cracks in the middle like that. Keep up the good work! Glad to see your channel doing so well!
Those small independent used car dealerships can be worse. I once went to look at a rare sporty car at one of those used car dealerships because it was the only once I could find in my area. As I approach the car I noticed it had a failed inspection sticker because it had a cracked windshield and needed new brakes. But since I could do my own brake work I was not too worried about it. So I took it on a test drive and noticed it had a misfire. When I got back I was really hesitant. But the final deal breaker was when I got down on the floor to look at condition of the CV axles and noticed that the CV boots were both split. If the previous owner overlooked that much maintenance who knows what else it needed.
3:45 when you hold the pedal to the floor in a modern car, it activates a fuel pump cutoff, so yeah, you could crank it forever but it's never going to fire.
40k miles on it and it is already rusted to oblivion. It is amazing how quickly it can happen and seeing how easy it falls apart to finger pressure is terrifying; reminds me of rotten logs in the woods and not something that routinely hits 65 MPH on the highway
Yeah, pedal to the floor during cranking in most computer-controlled cars is "clear flood" mode and the ECU shuts off the injectors. So, you get a crank but no start.
These always make me either sit with my jaw on the floor or burst into laughter in disbelief. I particularly like the crunchy air filters with added ventilation to offset the dust-clogging.
"I'm just going to sell the car" Oh, nice, just screw someone else over.

If you're going to flag up the issues and take a hit fair enough though. On the odd occasion I've done that the odd time. I'd rather people know what they're letting themselves in for 😂
People need to get car washes with under carriage wash if they live in places that salt the roads. I live in the north east and my cars are 10 years old and barely have any rust underneath.
The melted taillight could be due to where the owner parks! Some buildings with high-reflectivity window coatings have been known to act as reflector lenses for the rising or setting sun.
The most important thing is always to make sure your car has bass to annoy everyone around you, Maintenance is expensive, pissing off everyone around you is priceless😂😂
Super tired after working lots of overtime and couldnt understand why the guy would invest in fish over maintenance ... time to sleep :) On second thought.. maybe we all just need a car-fish-bass? Not spilling the tank would make people either more safe or goofy dangerous ... Im getting car-bass
My daughter did not ask for my advice, she went to my ExWife who lives in Texas. The frame and floor pan broke in New Mexico. Car Fax was plain...flood car from Louisiana. Good side to every story! My Ex fronted her the money. I flew my daughter home and the car went out for parts
Steps to buying a vehicle: 1- purchase the vehicle. 2- THEN get it looked at! ** I've been doing this wrong for years!!!! I always inspect and then buy. My bad!
You never buy from Facebook marketplace if you are getting a used car from a lot of someone in the neighborhood always ask for a car fax. There has to be a point where the rust tells you that it’s time to junk it also how in the world did that tail light melt I’m suprised that didn’t spark a recall for that old model. Wonder what the next vid will be like and how many more people will say no to the repairs and just drive off.
I've got a friend who has looked a lot at vehicles on that Facebook thing. Almost every one of them was rusty or had a lot of undisclosed problems. I would never even think about buying a vehicle off of it.
My buddy bought (and fixed) an 88 Fiero that was hit by a train. Luckily, the train was going like 5 mph, so the damage wasn't so bad. Looks like the Caddy was hit at about 10 mph.
If they would use stainless steel in the areas that rust so bad it would only add about 2k to the price of a car but they don't want them to last. Rust is a great salesman. Remember when exhaust systems weren't stainless?
They used to hot-dip galvanize Audis, I think. If you think about it, on an industrial scale it makes a lot of sense because you can put together the frame with all the welds and everything and then just dip the whole thing. I wonder how much that costed.

I found a 2006 Toyota Highlander Limited with 138,000 miles on it for sale about a month ago. Facebook Marketplace Chittenden County Vermont. The small hole-in-the-wall dealer was asking $4,295, I offered him $4,000 cash and SOLD. Brought my significant other who knows a lot about all sorts of makes/models, and there are no issues so far. I miss the moonroof and 6-cd changer in my '10 CRV EXL, but I don't miss the lack of passing power!
For the last one it looks awfully similar to doing spark plugs and coils on a 2006 Ford fusion and the easiest way to get everything done is to take off the intake take it off and make sure you put all the bolts back
My guess is that he was annoyed at the engineers that planned that engine. Getting out a coil pack shouldn't be that hard, it should be easily accessible.
It’s a 3.3 Toyota engine. I just had to replace the plugs on mine. You have to remove the intake plenum to get the back 3 plugs out. What should be a 1/2 hour job is now a 3 hour job.
tbh most people selling cars just want them gone they don't care what's wrong with them and people buy cars cheap anyway so they get what they paid for in the end and also most of the time sellers don't allow inspections so of course it wouldn't be known how bad a car is
6:35 Bottle of water? I sincerely hope that any decade now the word of a completely new invention called 'fire extinguisher' will finally reach US of A.
Somebody tried to install an "electric supercharger" he got from Ali Express. A real supercharger takes a lot of torque to run via a heavy drive belt to move a heck of a lot more air than can be provided by a small fan with a light duty electric wire hookup.
8:16 like the Toyota 3.5 but the back spark plugs and coils on the transverse platform live there until something really needs to be changed. Its nice to see how optimistic the tech is thinking going at the rear plugs and coils without removing the intake is an option 🤣
@@gordonrichardson2972 we have the RAV4 not sure why it's tilted that far back, it would easily fit upright, the is300/350 sedans have the engine upright and longitudinal in a lower vehicle than the Rav so I don't know why
Front wheel drive traverse engine mounted cars are very nose heavy with too much of that weight ahead of the front wheels. So they are trying to shift weight to more behind the front wheel centers by tilting the engine rearward.
The last clip sounded like the dude was Jamaican and now I want Jamaican mechanic. Feel like he’d be really honest. “Oh there some bad juju going up on in here man!” 😂
Old timers trick, get some 5w30 motor oil and put it into a spray bottle, then wash the underside of the vehicle, allow to.dry, then coat all steel parts with the motor oil, no more rust and rotted frames. A little oil makes a huge difference.
The independent garage I use has always sprayed waste oil and waxol mix underneath all vehicles whatever work is done , my vehicles are done every 6 months. All are over 20 yrs old. No rust.
6:54 mine does that. It's a hyundai, which means it's a piece of $4 plastic gear-shaped coupling inside the steering column. From what I learned, there was a recall for this part which disintigrates after a while. I'll get it fixed eventually but the car sounds really rattly when I drive.
I'm glad I live somewhere where I don't have to worry about it getting cold enough that they have to salt the roads due to snow and ice. I couldn't afford to replace a car every 5 years or so due to that, and apparently, neither are a lot of people.
9:10 That right there is why I don't work on fwd v6 vehicles. half the engine is a breeze, the other half is nightmares physically manifested and put into an engine bay.
You take the bolts off, oops dropped one, where the (*&*^& did that go?!? Oh well, F it, I'll put it back on with -1, *starts reassembling* Oops, dropped another *starts looking for that now, hand holding last bolts loosens* There goes another, now I only have 1, argh!! *Slams hood* Hope it holds
Great video once again. I love the longer length. If my car was that rusted out, I would just scrap it and buy a used car. It’s really dangerous to be driving around when the whole underside of the car is rusted…
I just look at their profile pics and usually buy off older guys. Never had a problem buying 3 different cars that had no or very little problems and I live in the rust belt so I’m always asking for pics underneath and everywhere in between before I’m wasting my time heading out to some rust bucket.
"XF estates." LMAO. If you can show me a company that uses Jaguars as taxis in the US, and those vehicles reach 400K miles, I might reconsider my statement.
i'm thankfull that in my country not a single of these cars would drive on the road! You need inspection every 12 Month and when there is just a little hole or oil drop, your car gets no permission to drive on the road anymore!
Hope you enjoy the new episode! Submit your clips on our website: www.justrolledinyt.com

PPI is "Pre" not "Post" purchase inspection. Maybe all these buyers misunderstood?

Because it's too embarrassing to tell the seller that you don't know anything about vehicles. And if they're shady, most sellers would probably balk at the buyer trying to test drive into the nearest auto shop for an inspection.
Just my opinion, but the Jamaican mechanic needs to do the voice narration from here on out. 9:24
That would be awesome!

Could have been parked over grass; the ground's moisture can significantly accelerate rusting over time...

tbh most people selling cars just want them gone they don't care what's wrong with them and people buy cars cheap anyway so they get what they paid for in the end and also most of the time sellers don't allow inspections so of course it wouldn't be known how bad a car is
"where is the other pedal" 🤣🤣🤣
6:35 Bottle of water? I sincerely hope that any decade now the word of a completely new invention called 'fire extinguisher' will finally reach US of A.
that caddy looks pretty darned good for being hit by a train.
Somebody tried to install an "electric supercharger" he got from Ali Express. A real supercharger takes a lot of torque to run via a heavy drive belt to move a heck of a lot more air than can be provided by a small fan with a light duty electric wire hookup.
Gotta love those Ford HVAC repairs ✌️
>Customer Decline repairs
Yeah, so they can go sell it off facebook more than likely.
8:16 like the Toyota 3.5 but the back spark plugs and coils on the transverse platform live there until something really needs to be changed. Its nice to see how optimistic the tech is thinking going at the rear plugs and coils without removing the intake is an option 🤣
I read that engine is too tall for the vehicle platform, and the block is tilted down towards the firewall.
@@gordonrichardson2972 we have the RAV4 not sure why it's tilted that far back, it would easily fit upright, the is300/350 sedans have the engine upright and longitudinal in a lower vehicle than the Rav so I don't know why
I think the manufacturer is trying to get the center of gravity rearward.
Front wheel drive traverse engine mounted cars are very nose heavy with too much of that weight ahead of the front wheels. So they are trying to shift weight to more behind the front wheel centers by tilting the engine rearward.
🤦🏼♀️ Some people are just crazy when they think they can fix the car themselves.
0:35 This is how you do a budget build!
@0:36 That is an epic build…..guy’s a legend.
technitian notices home made cold air intake, unrelated to concern... he talks like if that was the most normal thing he saw all day.
The last clip sounded like the dude was Jamaican and now I want Jamaican mechanic. Feel like he’d be really honest. “Oh there some bad juju going up on in here man!” 😂
Old timers trick, get some 5w30 motor oil and put it into a spray bottle, then wash the underside of the vehicle, allow to.dry, then coat all steel parts with the motor oil, no more rust and rotted frames. A little oil makes a huge difference.
The independent garage I use has always sprayed waste oil and waxol mix underneath all vehicles whatever work is done , my vehicles are done every 6 months. All are over 20 yrs old. No rust.
6:54 mine does that. It's a hyundai, which means it's a piece of $4 plastic gear-shaped coupling inside the steering column. From what I learned, there was a recall for this part which disintigrates after a while. I'll get it fixed eventually but the car sounds really rattly when I drive.
3:38 It has a shadowpedal(tm) for accelleration, remember to keep the light on. 😂
I bet that 40 thousand km was parked on grass 😢
Miles, not kilometers.
I'm glad I live somewhere where I don't have to worry about it getting cold enough that they have to salt the roads due to snow and ice.
I couldn't afford to replace a car every 5 years or so due to that, and apparently, neither are a lot of people.
Being proactive is cheaper and buys some time.
@@larrybe2900 Nah, it can take 20 years for Michigan to rust a car into oblivion. By then it's past time to get a new one anyway.
6:42 the neglected 2004 Toyota Yaris I bought had a cabin air filter as bad as, if not worse than that. A new one made quite a difference...
9:10 That right there is why I don't work on fwd v6 vehicles. half the engine is a breeze, the other half is nightmares physically manifested and put into an engine bay.
4:20 what makes people think bringing in a vehicle in that condition is OK?
As a tech this happens so many times .... I tried to be kind and go around as much as possible but some times ....I say nope not today
I can't figure out how a person loses bolts while actively doing something.. You take the bolts off, replace the part, put the bolts back on.
You take the bolts off, replace the part, hey where'd they go
You take the bolts off, oops dropped one, where the (*&*^& did that go?!? Oh well, F it, I'll put it back on with -1, *starts reassembling* Oops, dropped another *starts looking for that now, hand holding last bolts loosens* There goes another, now I only have 1, argh!! *Slams hood* Hope it holds
Great video once again. I love the longer length. If my car was that rusted out, I would just scrap it and buy a used car. It’s really dangerous to be driving around when the whole underside of the car is rusted…
Whistling Duelling Banjos... send in clips with you whistling a section of that tune... Edit THAT together for hilarity 😂
3:42 just use that cruise control lever and you’re golden
Poor soul on that last clip. Why do they make parts of the engine that need replacing so hard to get to?!
Wait until the poor mechanic has to work on an Audi.
A Jaguar with 191,000 miles? That is incredible. How many of those were to the shop?
FB marketplace is never a good place to look for a used car. Too many scammers lookin to make a fast buck.
I just look at their profile pics and usually buy off older guys. Never had a problem buying 3 different cars that had no or very little problems and I live in the rust belt so I’m always asking for pics underneath and everywhere in between before I’m wasting my time heading out to some rust bucket.
lol that Jamaican at the last part lol, do yo ting me breadda :)
Love the explanations of each defective part. As a non-mechanic it helps.
Wait wait wait wait wait, stop, wait!!!! That rusted out Impala.... They changed the trailing arm?? The customer didn't decline repairs!!!??? :O
And just when you think you've seen it all, , , you drop a new video with more Makeshift repairs!🤤
Is deathtrap one word or two
are these vehicles safe to allow these customers to leave the shop in the dangerous conditions they are in ???
Customer declined all repairs.
haahahahahha i love this channel!!!!!
These people make me feel like im 200IQ
You know you got either a Really good or a Really bad mechanic when they tape up their wounds.
2:30 It's All Crust ™
Out of all the downright unbelievable things I have seen on this channel, nothing has been more shocking than a modern Jaguar with 190,000 miles.
Hilariously original. Meanwhile, plenty of XF estates used as taxis with over 400k miles on them. Keep peddling the myth though 😂
"XF estates." LMAO. If you can show me a company that uses Jaguars as taxis in the US, and those vehicles reach 400K miles, I might reconsider my statement.
They dont make them like they use to!! Just disposable crap
i'm thankfull that in my country not a single of these cars would drive on the road! You need inspection every 12 Month and when there is just a little hole or oil drop, your car gets no permission to drive on the road anymore!
Why would you even bother replacing the steering rack on a truck that rusted out????
Also no idea why he was gloveless, dude hurt himself due to improper ppe
