Scotty.. Is there a way to get rid of the start stop on my 2015 Malibu? Please help it drive me wacka doodle...
Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty love your channel! How do you feel about places like Drivetime or Car Right? They ditch traditional dealer rules and Drivetime seems to be pretty respected by clients who use them and they have an amazing selection. New school vs old school dealership just curious what you think!
Great advice Scotty! Thanks.
Hey Scotty Nissan versa or Chevy spark or Mitsubishi mirage

If Scotty ran his own cargurus the search engine would lead only to '94s Toyota Corollas
Or Celicas 😂👍
The Fett Man Or it would lead us to his garage sale.
Everybody would be pretty happy if they all bought old toyotas, hondas or Lexus which is what he would recommend.
Owned 2 Toyota, never again....noisy, cheap, plasticy piles of poo.
Or ford f150s

Turns out, they're not actually car gurus
SAVAGE!
@@thesparkster It's too bad they get all the jobs too. As long as they fit the stereotype of what a computer geek should look like, the employer hires them. I've been in the industry a long time and almost every company I've worked for has had senior level people (managers) telling me what to do who had NO FORMAL EDUCATION WHATSOEVER in the software field. I've had managers with Geography degrees, no degrees, etc. I worked at a place where the programming task was given to a network admin who had a 1-year certificate in network administration and NO PRIOR WORK EXPERIENCE AT ALL. I had a college diploma in programming + a university degree (BSc CIS) + a few years experience and the company gave HIM the job of programming and not me.

Scotty is one of a kind mate. 🙌🏻
I have used Car Gurus twice now and couldn't be happier. They were local buys so I scheduled a time to go look at them. Both times I knew what dealer was being contacted and I could have very easily contacted the dealer directly which I actually had to do with the second car. Consider Car Gurus a tool. Its a great tool to compare cars and see what options you are getting before getting to the dealer. Autotrader is the same as i have used them in the past.
I've also had nothing but good experiences buying cars from CarGurus. His info isn't even correct. They DO give you the exact dealership where the car is listed, and yes, you could contact them directly.
If you know what car you want, and know what dealers are reputable, it's great for finding cars. Best format.
Fax
Think about all the cars/trucks that have been in a flood. Buying a car/truck unseen etc. crazy😂😱
That's probably what the cars from the car vending machine are from! All floods! ..because they deliver the car to you! You see it when they drop it off in your driveway! Haha!
@@realcreature3D ask the dealer for a free carfax.
Certain states are popular for title washing. Be careful of cars that have been moved from state to state and only spent a short time in each one.
What I find funny is that the flood pic he used @3:38 was my anthropology professor at UH. 😂😂
Texes had flooded cars and you know what there's car vending machine cars that's from the Texas area watch out
I don't know about you guys and gals but i HATE buying a car. New or used, from the dealer or your Uncle Vinny. Just HATE the whole process.
I hear you bro
Yup
Forthed!
Try a monastery, cause they don't usually lie...
Jeff Eppenger: Then you're doing it wrong. Cargurus is a great help. Doesn't mean it does ALL of the work for you, but it's a very good guide. Plus, if you''re buying a new car, you should use your bank or credit union's car buying service. They'll get you a good interest rate and do all the work in negotiating a low price. VERY easy! But to walk into a showroom and talk to a salesman?! Not me!
Scotty's telling it like it is. Glad he’s looking out for us
Scotty doesn't like any cars.
I found my 2006 Ford Ranger on Car Gurus and traveled 70 miles out to check out the truck.
I like the convenience of the site but the dealer was somewhat crummy, and looking back I did overpay for the truck.
Good to hear real customer experience. Thank you! I hope your Ranger lasts forever!
@@hanskinslo326 I bought a 2004, and a 2008 Ranger, wish I still had them, driving a 2014 F150 now.
The calculated "fair values" of the vehicles listed on CarGurus are inflated. I found it useful to locate a vehicle rated as "good/great deal" and try to negotiate the price down. If dealer does not bulge, walk out.
Like me, you live and learn. Part of life.
Absolutely. The site is convenient, but you still have to do your homework.
Truecar has lost their way as well. They are 100% funded by dealerships. Keep up the good work Scotty!
*Stealerships.
Truecar is total BS. Signed up to look for price on a Subaru, within 10 minutes 3 local dealers are calling my cell phone, 10 MINUTES! I told the one guy we were gunna be there Wednesday. So we are at the dealer buying the car and i get a text from the guy at the dealership, he's in the back "web sales" somewhere, asking me something about still interested yada yada yada, I'm like, Dude i am here! right now! So i was waiting for this guy to come out of some hole in the back shading his eyes from the light of the showroom to say hi or something but it never happened. Yeah Don't use Truecar.
Truecar was an idiotic concept from the start....
Its not like you idiots are funding truecar haha who else would be paying them?
I used TrueCar when it first started and used it to get a killer deal on a new 2011. It was legit then but the dealers bought it and now it’s BS. Same with Consumer Reports car buying guide. $$$ is the root of all evil and in the car business there is a lot of $$$ to be made. The consumer is on their own.
I search for cars in my area. Then I contact dealership directly using their phone number. Then I go and check the vehicle out, speak numbers, and get the vehicle inspected with a mechanic's opinion on condition and price. Cargurus is basically a search engine, not a website for buying vehicles.
Absolutely right. That's the perfect approach to buy used car.
Exactly, I don't understand the point of this video lol.
CarGurus worked great for me. I weeded out a lot of crummy cars and found a great 2012 Honda Accord. It's been six months, no problems.
Have to agree with you. I found the van I wanted on CarGurus two years ago. Would never have located it without them. CarGurus is only a listing agent, I’m not sure Scotty understands that as he’s obviously never used them. Your not buying the car thru them. A lady friend of mine had the same results using them and found the car she was looking for last year.
@@jonathanhansen3709 sounds like Scotty has CarGuru confused with Carvana perhaps.
I disagree Scotty. Their site is great for comparing prices of different dealers. Then you go to the dealer in person to look at the car
Troy Jackson I doubt your legit , You posted your comment 6 hours ago and have 19 👍 . You smell like a used car salesmen . 💩
@@michaelhaulotte689 lol cool story brah
Michael Haulotte I used car CarGuru two years ago to find the Van I drive today. I agree with Troy Jackson it’s a great site. I’m not sure Scotty understands its only a listing agent, your not buying your vehicle from them. Your buying the vehicle from the seller. Like any other way you locate a vehicle your interested in, you can always check it out and walk away if you don’t like it. It’s obvious to me Scotty’s never checked it out.
I agree Troy. If you are looking for a specific color and options you can find the exact car you want. However I would never buy it sight unseen without a test drive. Find the car then take a road trip to see it.
I disagree myself. I found my 2015 GLA 250 on this site n drove to dealership and bought it. This was 3 years ago n I have no problems.
Car Gurus is the best place to search for the car that you want. but that doesn't mean all the cars are good because they are used cars and this will depend on your experience if you know how to buy cars or not. it's not car gurus issue, it's just a place where all the cars are listed. Thanks
I found my 2016 Mazda 3 through cargurus...and got a great price and had a great experience!
I bought a 2010 Subaru Legacy for my daughter's first car.
I thought it was an excellent deal and my daughter couldn't be happier. That was 2 years ago.

Matthew Wach - Oh, you caught that too! WTH is Scotty thinking??
Perhaps if he's going to mispronounce 'Gurus' like that, he should be using a "Car-ga-NET" to catch those deals!
Hahaha! This needs more likes!
Rev up your search engines!
Exactly!
I use it as a tool to find and locate vehicles. I found my 17 Camaro SS on a similar site and got it used for a great price (over a year later, some still arent as cheap)
What site ?
Scotty says don’t buy these used cars and don’t buy from cargurus or Carmax or new cars lol should I just ride a bike?
If you can do most or all of your errands with one, why not?
@@EMichaelBall time
"Their covering their own heinie" (waves his hands behind his butt) 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love you, Scotty! So funny and informative.
I use car gurus for searching then I go to the dealerships.....to look in person!
I purchased my '13 Accord EXL 4 years ago that I found on CarGurus. I went to the dealer, negotiated a price and am very happy with my car. I didn't buy it from CarGurus, but CarGurus pointed me in the direction.
same with me. got my 19 Civic EXL, emailed a bunch of dealers around me which was initiated using cargurus. didn’t actually use car gurus but the dealers pay to be on there. that’s how they make money
Today you need a college education just to buy a used car.
Just sell me a car where I can change the points,cap,spark plugs, rotor, ect and I'm happy. Kiss my butt for all this computer crap.
J Polar So , how is it in 1974?
Yes bring back cars that barely made it to 100k miles.
Common sense not college education
Recovering New Yorker much better than cars you can’t even work on yourself
just get a 90s civic
Disagree:
I used car gurus as a tool to check price, good deal, bad deal, high or low price, above market value, below market value, and personally think it's pretty good. Bought my 2012 Jeep Rubicon from their advertisement, but went to the dealer to check it out, test drive it and make up my own mind. Made the deal and drove it away. I would never buy a car sight unseen. Using their web site to find something I am interested in is good, and gives you access to most used cars in your area, new too.
Use them for a tool, but don't use them to buy your car, make that deal with the dealer or individual, didn't even know you could buy your car from them.
Better than Kelly Blue Book in my opinion.
Carvana is another one..Insane to buy a car sight unseen and have it delivered. Talk about the epitome of laziness.
They do not negotiate and their cars are overpriced. If you are looking for a Corolla with a CVT, buy one around the corner. If you are looking for a white Accord Coupe with manual trans, good luck finding one.
Love your videos, what you everyday. I have found 3 of my best deals on CarGurus...I live in small town east Texas but have had my best luck with CarGurus...
I used this website to find my son a jeep. He is correct. Most of the time, you never get a response from sellers.
marktxm, Yeah I used that site to find my Son too lol. :)
Ella Mone I love happy endings 😃
Iqm not buying the car from cargrus..iam buying it through the dealership...iam using cargrus to find the car..i dont understand the meaning on the vid scotty?
Big facts
Its about the ratings and price, did you pay attention to anything he said? Typically TH-cam video detractors don't even watch the entire video.
You also missed the part where its a third party referal service arrangement, Cargurus doesn't tell you exactly where the vehicle is and who is selling it and its almost all dealerships. Now sure its possible to get a good deal from a dealership....but unlikely, and while in some cases you could easily find out the who,what and where regarding the seller but not always. Re watch the video and watch the entire thing because you clearly either didn't or you didn't pay attention. Cargurus knows practically nothing about the vehicles listed and they have so many disclaimers that the sellers and dealers don't have to honor the advertised price or even still have a listed vehicle in their inventory when you arrive, and just like any only posting the product in person may not live up to expectations and this of course is all after you've presumeably paid them a small fee to arrange the transaction, idk about that last part perhaps maybe the dealership pays for that but I find that surprising and highly doubt thats the case.
@@JustinBobby-di9zt the same logic could be applied to any listing site such as zillow, truecar or even a newspaper. The due diligence is on the buyer to see the car before they buy
@@JustinBobby-di9zt cargrus does list the dealership..and there location and the car they have in inventory..i jus bought a Honda yesterday..i found the car on gurus..looked at the price..it was a good deal so i called them..bought it the next day..bro iam confused..all good!
I love car gurus but I never bought it online. I found the RAV4 I wanted and then I went and looked at it in person
Same here. Car Gurus showed the dealer name so I contacted them directly. Got a great deal on a used Nissan Frontier.
Yeah, that's how a listing service works. You are not buying from Car Gurus nor are they acting as an agent.
Knew a guy who went to CarGurus and ended with a Russian internet wife. ...roflmao!
Car Gurus market cap just went down to $2.9B after this review:)
Car dealers killer Scotty Lol
or less haha
bout the only thing that has gone down is the real estate in his neighbor hood. lol
What a strange video. He gave no real reasons to avoid using cargurus, other than they are a big company? that is irrelevant. It's merely a site where people list cars. All responsibilities of buying a used car remain the same, regardless of the site you use to find one.
I look at it like this: you have to perform your due diligence. Get the vin and run that using at least 2 different vin check companies, look at the car in person and drive it. Ask questions - if the seller seems put off by questions, walk away from it. Ask for service records - if the seller doesn't have them, walk.
Actually had a great experience with Car Gurus. Found my car and love it! Got my Camaro for almost 5k less than around my area! I did have to travel from Pittsburgh to Sterling ,VA. But totally worth it! Still love watching Scotty! He's a riot!
By choice? Do they do towing delivery third party with an extra fee?
If you use CarGurus, you have the option of checking the dealership's site and check reviews. If that's not enough, you can always check the BBB, and you should always check various free vin websites to look at the history of the car. I use CarGurus as a stepping stone rather than working through them to obtain the car. It's handy for that. But like you said, don't trust them for financing, or as a middle man between you and the dealership. And always, always be thorough with the car before buying it. There are check lists available online with a whole list of things to look for before taking it for a test drive, and what to look for during one. And you can use a basic OBD scanner to check for cleared codes, and apps that allow for live feed from the system which can be logged and reviewed once you get back to the dealership.
Of course taking it to a mechanic for a more informative scan before finalizing the deal is always smart. 👍
My experiences with CarGuru have been alright. I watch cars on there more often than not, then pick one, research it, and check for theft records, salvage, recalls, etc. before even considering contacting the dealership. They have accidents, and 'fleet' marks on the vehicles as well, which you can filter out. Often I also use Craiglists because sometimes you'll find the same car listed for less there. It's not all bad. Just wouldn't use it for more than locating a vehicle you might be interested in, and getting some base info on it.
How do you found out if it was salvaged
@@seanmorris1970yup how?
These companies are just capitalizing off of people's laziness. Same with the food delivery companies.
Some are lazy, others are busy. One single mom FB friend of mine sometimes orders her groceries online because she doesn't want to wake one of her kids up from a nap, and in that situation, I can't blame her.
Carvana is the one who does that. It's basically a vending machine and they'll bring the car to you. It's insane and completely shady.
that's why people get screwed over so much because they are to busy. make time no excuse.
What is the alternative?
@@maryreed2280 Treat your children as children and not your best friends.
HI DAD!!! you left me back in San Antonio, im still waiting for you to come pick me back up.
Take the bus Dad is busy.
have you considered perhaps he did it intentionally?
Don’t worry, he still claims you on his taxes.
u think ur dad leaving u in san antonio is bad, when i was around 4 years old i can remember sittin round watchin my parents paste my picture on milk cartons!
I like how Scotty's hydraulic press has become a storage device! Just like mine lol!
I have no idea what he's talking about that you cant see the information on the dealer. I just looked up a car right now and it gave ne the address and phone number without me having to send a message through the cargurus's site,
Scotty gonna bankrupt another company. 🤣
Apathetic Millennial then Toyota will write him a larger check😂
@@aundrayperkins9796 um...
I don't think any of em are very happy with him. He has said something about all of em though. My brother has been a mechanic for 45 years and agrees with him. Toyota and Honda are the best around for durability and reliability.
That's Scotty 4u , bankrupt companies is his thing lmfao haaaaaan👍👍👆👍👍
Not on this one. He is way off, and the comments reflect it. He is doing nothing more than losing subs on this one.
No way, no how should you use them! Used "cars" and "huge corporation" don't go well together!
@Margie....how'd u get so smart girl? luv it
Scotty the Mime 🤣🤣👍👍👍
Love you Scotty. Your hands look like you're in a bar mixing drinks.
Yay for the Publix cameo! (Coincidentally, an employee-owned company, lol)
I swear I live on CarGurus. I felt deep pain when Scotty said CarGurus hahaha.
It's a great site to make comparisons on the car you're considering.
so where the heck can I find a reputable dealer or a website to purchase a car from?
"You're gonna be driving for years!" *X's out Mercedes* 🤣🤣🤣
Rob that's our Scotty!👍👍😂😂
what i do is use cargurus to see what car i want and use the vin to see what dealer is selling it. i then go to dealer and get cargurus price because its better then the dealer price. I bought my car using cargurus and found it on offleaseonly and boom got my ride saving 2000 under market price.
I bought my truck from a private seller on CarGurus. I bought it in person and saved about $7k. Only had 24k miles on it.
I bought my car truck from a hillbilly in Arkansas and saved 12 thousand . It needed a new engine and had been slightly damaged in a flood but when I get it running I’ll come out a big winner.
@@mikecastellon3022 That's cool. Did he throw in some free meth? Just kiddin. Engines can found on ebay or elsewhere.
Also, be careful of those cars that are a few thousand off and say “great deal”. Sometimes the website says “no accidents reported” but you check the carfax and it has frame damage.
Stock prices going down 😂
Whenever checking the Google reviews for a dealership always sort by worst rating first, read those.
I bought my truck from car gurus. Best purchase ever. Its an advertising platform. Nothing wrong with that.
KGTHREAT I’ve been scared to buy I haven’t heard to much good things about it
I have searched their site for cars. Just to find out what is in my area and what the prices are. I don't care what a dealer paid for car as long as I get a good deal. I always check out the car and test drive it. I pay cash for cars and I'm not leaving without a title. Years ago I bought a car and it took them three weeks to get me the title. I can't wait I park on the street where if vehicle is unregistered it is subject to immediate tow.
I have used Car Gurus and love it just be cautious as with buying any used car. I find them much easier to compare used car prices. For me their app is great I have had no problems at all.
I found my 14 accord 6mt on car gurus, the dealership was great, I got a good price and the car runs perfect
Okay so don’t shop on Car Gurus. But Scotty never recommends or mentions where to shop at for a used car. 🤔
craigslist, kellybluebook, carmax, auto trader,
He talks often about private sales and mentions Craigslist.
@@saveyourhero3307 carmax is no good scotty once addressed them also possibly along with kellybluebook, craigslist is full of scams so have to be careful.
Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, and those other local sites. Never go to a dealership including CarMax. I bought a car from the dealership as my first, years later found out I got charged like $500 for title papers. My most recent car I got a 1 year ago, I got off Craigslist. Took the title to the DMV and switched the title for $30. The dealership charges people $500 for the same thing! I will try the never go to a dealership for anything aside from parts if I need to. Heck, they charge like $40 for a smog, but you can get it done yourself for $20. Also, make sure the car is checked by a dealership or a local shop in a pre purchase inspection and get it snogged before buying. If it all checks out, maybe buy it if you like it.
I used cargurus as method to find the cars I was interested in. I live in a smaller city and it gives me an easy method to search within a set radius. I found a car well priced went to the dealer and checked it out and bought said car. I'm happy with the site if you use it only as a method to search for inventory. I also had no hidden fees or charges.
vindicatorx he’s clueless on this.
I hear many people talk bad about the 1998 to 2002 Toyota Corolla for some oil issue, but I still see almost as many now than when they were new. I have two friends who have a 2000 and 2002 Corollas and have no issues.
they are talking about problems of 20 year old car.
how many 20 year old models do you see on the road?
I had a 1998 with a 3 speed that burned oil when I drive over 70mph. If I stayed around 60 there was no problem. My girlfriend's 1999 had OD and no problems.
JN DSTY - You’ve got to be kidding. Those things were literally everywhere in the early-00s, now I see MAYBE one a week. Many died because of faulty piston rings and an engine that drank oil like it was water. Decent cars otherwise. I liked em, but they’re a rare sight nowadays.
I love cargurus have bought 2 and still have them.
Got both cars checked by a mechanic before buying. Didn't pay no mind to the rating ... I listened to what my mechanic said .
CarGurus just a tool. Gotta use the tool God gave ya to discern the condition of the car yourself.
Good?
Agree with you. Scotty’s way off on this. CarGurus is just listing agent. You don’t buy the vehicle thru them, which is what he seems to be leading people to think here (or maybe he imagines it does as it’s obvious to me he’s never used them). I located my van two years ago thru them and had my local shop evaluate it for trouble. I’m still happy with my purchase two years later .
Agreed, this is the first time Scotty is wrong.
Yup, as respected as Scotty is, this just shows sometimes you gotta take opinions with a grain of salt
Ironically I spelled 'God' wrong.
CarGurus is actually a great site to use as a tool to see what's available around you. If you see something that interests you on there, go to the dealer's website and see if it's available at said price and go test it out in person.
Thats where i went to get my Car. GOT A GREAT DEAL!!! RUNS GREAT, HAD ONE OWNER AND THEY REALLY TOOK CARE OF THE CAR, WELL MAINTAINED AND LOW PAYMENTS
I agree, you just have to be careful.
Fred Hoffman j
Great video Scotty!!
“Wing, wing, wing, herro?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
juniyananajukyu LMAO!!
I just use Cargurus as a car locater tool similar to using the classified section of a newspaper or pennysaver. On the listing is the name of the seller, the address and telephone number . I then go to the dealer to test drive the vehicle inspect, run the vin, check the title and negotiate the price. if the car is too far away or I don't trust the seller I say thank you, I'll let you know
Are you serious right now? Can't buy a car from Carmax,A dealership & now car gurus 😳😳😳
Auto Trader has the same features and you can contact the dealerships yourself. A way better option if you are looking for a car.
What about Autotrader and Craigslist?
The disclaimers are true. I worked at a Dodge, Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram dealer for a month...And they jacked up the advertising price 8 to $10,000. It was a joke
Scotty ur wrong about this just like you were with carmax and their warranty plan. Cargurus list the dealers address and phone number so you could deal with them directly.
I've only used them to find a specific car I'm looking for. Went to the dealership, sorted, drove and priced it myself...I even got the address and number from Cargurus. That's it.
Same here
what you never want to do is buy a car from a guy who waves his arms around alot, never takes off his sunglasses, stands in front of a garage that looks like it has been maintained by a group of hamsters and screams versus communicates...now that is the one person you want to take a couple of steps back and say "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".
Good morning Mr. Kilmer, I just love soaking up ALL the knowledge you have about auto mechanics. Thank You!!! ☆Jay☆👍👍
Man just go ahead and do a "Why you shouldnt buy a car from anybody, take uber or lyft, or public transportation, and why your bicycle is unreliable, and why you should never use your feet to walk ANYwhere, and god lied to you about the real purpose of legs..."
WTH ??
Ask family members, friends, co workers about where they purchased vehicles and their experience. Do that.
The seller doesn't honor the price, you walk. I actually had good success with carguru finding a car. The site Carguru has nothing to do with the sale, they are simply advertising cars from individual sellers and dealers..
Car-garoos only exist in Australia
I like the way he pronounces guru's.......gooooroooossss
Scotty, you're accenting the wrong syllable: It is car GOO'roos
@The USS Johnston....u kiddin man....scotty can't even spell suttle er suttel er...well u get my not so subtle point!
Everyone of my cars over the last 25 years were bought by the mechanic who I trusted he asked what type of car I wanted and because he had the connections in the car trade he got me the best deal going and nearly every car he got me lasted for 200,000 miles my present car the last one he got me before he sadly died has 176,000 miles on the clock,so do what scotty says and get a trustworthy mechanic to help you and just pay him for his expertise
I found my current car on Cargurus. Of course, they never contacted the dealer, I did that myself. It's been 6 months, and it's still the best car I ever had. I love Mazdas.
Jelly Doughnut - What kind of Mazda?
@@drivedb7 2012 Mazda 3. It gets amazing fuel economy.
Jelly Doughnut - Is yours the SkyActiv trim? I had a 2014 Mazda3 which had the same 2.0L SkyActiv engine and my personal record was 43 mpg. Amazing. Sold it to try and get an S GT with the bigger engine, but I kinda miss that little thing!
@@drivedb7 Yup, it's a SkyActiv. My max has been 39 mpg, but with conservative driving I've been hitting 500 miles per tank. It's pretty impressive for a car that's not a hybrid.
Jelly Doughnut - I think Mazda wasn’t able to fit their new (at the time) 4-2-1 manifold in the older version of the 3, hence the lower mpg, but still it’s remarkable they were able to squeeze such impressive mileage out of an NA engine.
Do YOUR due diligence before bringing a valuable company down! Also, respond to criticism or your video is pointless sir. Without Cargurus , I would never have found so many great deals. It is for advertising only. CarVana and other sites are the site unseen rip off artists. Do YOU due diligence sir before listening to yourself talk and using your hands like an insane car salesman or crazy Eddie!!if you do not know who crazy Eddie is look at car salesman from the 80's Chicagoland area.
Thanks
hey scotty when do you clean your garage? maybe you will find things you lost years ago
keep the good work👌👌👌
none of this is accurate, literally none. car gurus is the place to compare the market and make sure you are getting a good deal, the address to the dealers are listed and car fax and vin is posted. like literally, why are you so skeptical, should everyone just ride a horse or is that ENTIRE INDUSTRY broken too? Did you not make your living working in the car industry? Do you not drive at all? Are you just that miserable with your life that you just tell others all cars are the devils work? come on man, people love cars. I KNOW you love cars or you wouldnt be preaching about them on youtube and getting money for it lol
The real guru has spoken.
Look mom! The neighbor across the street is yelling at his camera again. Quiet Billy! I'm trying to buy a car on car gurus. 😂
@@GO-cz7cl L0L XD
Scott is absolutely 💯 correct
Found my used truck on cargurus. Very happy with it. Got a great deal it runs great. Went and bought it in person.
I can't buy a new car.
I can't put gas in my old car.
Scotty got me walking everywhere. 🚶🚶🚶🚶
Hectic Erectic me too
Morning Scotty have a good day 🌝
morning!
I use offerup to buy cars. just bought a 05 Camry with a 100k for 3300 bucks excellent condition
I got a great Asus ROG laptop on offer Up. $180
I found a 2007 Chevy HHR, 5-speed manual with low miles through Car Gurus for $3000. It was a great little beater until my tail-gating wife totaled it.
Yep buy private but get an inspection first.
Usually they have the name of the dealer on the site for CarGurus. Maybe not how CarGurus want them to display it but they do, and I can just research the place and call them myself about the car I'm looking for. I don't pay any attention to the gimmicky stuff they have on that site like the ratings and what's good or bad, I find the car I'm looking for at the posted price, I go check it out using my own automotive knowledge, if I think it's a sound car, I buy it! Same with all the other sites. If the price ain't the same or lower, I walk outta there, that's their loss, not mine.
Why'd you have to put a perfectly good Kia on the thumbnail, shoulda used a Civic.
So from where to buy a car? seriously? Everywhere is now flooded by dealers. Facebook Marketplace, craigslist, everywhere. It is almost impossible too to find a good deal on a car that owned privately. I wish someone out there can come up with "Private only car sale platform" and requires the sellers to show a proof that they are private owners before they list!
Sounds like a solution to a non problem! Did people forget how to buy a used car?
@Waffeey....yeah...as well as how to cook!
