Better help is a scam... look it up.
Wait till April wants a baby of her own you'll be back in the stirrups again
What you are promoting is morally wrong, you should be ashamed of yourself, but your greed is more powerful I see.
STOP PROMOTING BH!!!!
Weird. You got scammed. Again for the 75th time.
Funny how that works out like that...every time.
This is why I unsubbed and only watch when in recommended videos. Scamming himself outta views😊
Rinse and repeat
Definitely not scammed, called being cheap 😂😂
Welp If all u lot do is complain, try do better. Ye. Exactly. Quit complaining. Just takes energy.
Please don't do business with Better help. They were fined for selling people's private health information to social media companies. They are scum.
I mean most of the youtubers add are like that
@@Oldvehicle19That doesn't make it alright though
@@jacekjagosz I mean yeah your right it's ok I hate the ads because it sometimes I would never use
Betterhelp pays a lot for ads. Just don’t use them yourself.
Are you going to take over as advertiser? You do realize you’re basically asking him to make these for free, right? Are you self employed? If not, I’m sure the company you work for isn’t perfect. Did you quit your job?
Tried contacting you on multiple platforms. Im a certified tech for these cars and know pretty much everything about it. It's pretty easy to fix all your issues. Theboil leak may be a rear main seal. The motor unplugged is not what you were told. The issue with the touchscreen not selecting the blower motor is the hvac control module, but you still may have a blower motor issue.
As for a missing under pannel, its not missing. Nothing should be there. The wheel shake is caused by the bushings, very common issue.
Cool story, bro.
The problem is that this is how they’re you tube is so watched
They don't care about practically fixing anything, it's about milking it for youtube money.
yea i thought the touchscreen was unresponsive, a blower motor wouldnt cause that
@@joebauers6462 he said HVAC control module. That would do it. But once that is replaced you may still need a blower motor also.
Better Help doesn't tell you how expensive it is until the payment process. I'm disabled and live on a very low fixed income. I can't afford it out of pocket, and it isn't covered by heath insurance. The FTC also filed a lawsuit against them for selling people's private medical information. I suggest you drop them as a sponsor.
He probably won't because he needs all the money to fix these stupid cars.
Being scammed is how you make your living.
SHOCKED it wasn't perfect!
He makes these videos as a disclaimer to others out there to be careful with what you buy.
Correction- hoovie being scammed is how the wizard makes his living
True, but it seems like there's a little April Rose's affect on Tyler , I say this coz the presentation/script and the dialogues are a little different than before it's giving her vibes combined with Tylers
And a very good one.
Hoovie pretending to feel sorry for the new Fisker like he isn’t planning to buy the first Fisker Ocean he sees for less than 20k 😬
all I have learned from watching youtubers is that bring a trailer is a dumping ground for broken garbage that they wont tell you about
It’s called bring a trailer for a reason😂😂
Don't buy used car without a Pre Purchase Inspection. This used to be common sense.
They just post fancy pictures. They don’t actually know anything about what they sell, just hooking up sleazy auto dealers with guys that that have more money than sense.

You definitely need to report that seller to Bringatrailer so they can perma-ban him from selling anything on their site ever again. Scammers like that give their site a bad rep.
bringatrailer literally is for undriveable cars.
@@godsinbox It's in the name.
I assure you, they don’t give a rat’s ass. It’s their business model.
I'm sure he will. He had a similar situation a couple years ago on BaT where they refunded him all the buyer fees. That was on the big wing Mopar Daytona.
What part of "bring a trailer" do you not understand. Let is know and I am sure someone here will help.
That owners got some bad Karma coming their way after ditching this bad Karma.
Underrated comment of the year
I see what you did there 😅
Hoovie getting ripped off after shilling Betterhelp is karma.
Karma's a bitch
Lololol
I just did a blower motor on a Fisker Karma a few weeks ago... We were able to get a C6 Corvette blower motor for $150 at a local auto parts store, and it was a Continential that matched the original perfectly! I was able to get it replaced in about 1.5 hours of time upside down under the dash.... Enjoy!
There’s a company called Karma Automotive in Moreno Valley, California that bought all of the Fisker assets. They reassembled the assembly line and built the Karma Revero which was essentially the Fisker Karma with a new name. They updated some of the electronics and offered services to Fisker Karma owners to have software updated to eliminate the harsh lag on the touchscreen. I don’t know if they are still in business but they may be able to help with the lag issue.
Also I was told that suspension was built to pass crash tests and was purposely built to be overkill because Henrik had government loans granted to him and had limited time to get the car built and he wanted to make sure it was beefed up so it would pass crash testing. Henrik was planning on eventually reducing the weight but the company went bankrupt before that happened.
The company I work for sent me to the Karma plant in Moreno Valley to help get their assembly line up and running and I was able to drive one of those. It’s a weird car because it’s huge on the outside but very small on the inside.
It appears they're still open.
@@MikeCrisare they still building cars? I heard at one point they were going to concentrate on making components for electric cars and not build cars themselves but I just haven’t heard anything at all about them for several years
@@itsnevo8757 Don't know...website is up though.
Whenever the seller just so happens to be "out of the country" on a "business trip," DO NOT BUY!!!
Yes, you are buying “as-is” , “where-is” and “how-is”
Buying cars privately is “as-is”, there is no return policy.
@@FSXflyermaster Sure, but when there are 🚩🚩🚩 you can still walk away from a raw deal. But then again, that's our Hoovie! 🤣
He had already bought at that point!
There is the possibility of a lawsuit for "fraudulent inducement" in Florida. My observations are that the decline in Morals and Values in US appear more prevalent. The challenges for lawsuit, showing/proving seller was aware of the problem. Seller misrepresentation. Lastly there is easily accessible info about steps a car buyer should take to reduce risk/potential problems
“C7 corvette light controls” that’s a weird way of saying your Fisker has Pontiac g6 light controls 🤣
Ah yes, my favorite C7 year: 2012. Totally not a C6.
It’s not because that’s not a thing. 💀
A supercharged Pontiac is a sleeper.
@@webreakforsquirrel4201 G6’s were never supercharged.
That’s a weird way of saying your g6 has spark light controls
A blower motor out of a Corvette is the same one Fisker uses in your car. You also don't have to pull the dash out you can get to it from behind the glovebox. Water is pouring in around the cabin filter door but you can seal it up and stop the leak and it wont short out again. The motor should be less than $250.
20 grand? Should have paid no more than 5 grand.
I wouldn't pay $500 for this heap
@@alexanderstefanov6474 Good point.
It’s not worth more than its scrap value. $200-$300 tops.
hey, Hoovie, check the outside temperature sensor.
I had a BMW that showed the outside temperature as zero degrees so the computer wouldn't let the AC come on.
Turns out the outside temperature sensor (located under the front bumper) had been damaged.
Fixed it for $100.
And check if there is enough R-134a on the system...i bet, its gone after years of standing around... (The mechanic could have checked it in a minute..)
@@imresomodi4961 blower motor would still come on even without the compressor coming on.
Not if the computer went pffftttt.
Welcome to another episode of "Tyler got scammed by buying junk sight unseen on the internet!" 😂😂
In Tyler's defence, it wasn't supposed to be a junker. Only 16k miles with service records is promising at first thought, plus the seller didn't disclose any of the problems
@@Hassan-ww8jfTotally agree. Also, BaT takes scams like this very seriously and they should definitely be notified.
Can't trust BringATrailer. As seen with the issues with an Alfa Milano on Wizards channel, this Fisker Karma as well as a Fiat I drove with transmission issues that was not disclosed by the seller when they later put on auction, buying on the site is a too much a risk.
It also keeps us watching, if every car was perfect you wouldn’t
@@Hassan-ww8jf That's why folks with brains don't buy used cars sight unseen.
If you were driving all highway, it doesn't surprise me that it didn't make the advertised range. My 2017 Chevy Volt was the same way. The advertised all-electric range was 53 miles and for in-town driving, I'd gotten over 70 at times, but on the highway, the range dropped to mid-to-low-40s (for 75-80 mph). EVs are exactly opposite of gas cars in that regard. Because of the brake/coast regeneration, your city "mileage" is significantly better than highway.
Good comment. I forgot that.
Its not strictly because of the brake/coast per se, its because of the higher average power utilization on the highway. Higher speed = more aerodynamic drag, which is more important in EVs since they have very little internal parasitic friction compared to ICE vehicles.
@@GoldenCroc, that's a good point. 👍
I found an old forum post about someone bitching about a dealer in Toronto Canada charging 4 grand to replace a bad blower motor. the poster then had a dialog with fiskarphilly and said that the car was going from Canada to Florida. this was in 2017 another post on the same thread said the blower motor was the same as a Corvette one and cost them 225 bucks to replace.
Interesting...I wonder if it actually is the same car?
Parts are a fraction of the repair costs. To replace the heater on mine the doors have to come off to access structural bolts. To replace the blower motor, the steering column and EPS motor have to be removed.
@@davidelliott5843 in the same.post fiskarphilly and the fellow who said the motor was only 225 also said it took them 20min to remove the blower motor so not 3k plus labour is required for the job
Remove blower, disassemble, clean contacts, reassemble, refit, $0.00.
@@jaysmith3361 Not worth the effort when a brand new one is only $150 (they are from the C6 Corvette)... they are buried in the dash and a pain to pull out...
The “employee” was probably the owner.
I'd sue the guy.
That's why they call that site bring a trailer, because if you buy something it's not going to run, you have to bring a trailer to take it home
That's why they called it that originally. It has been years since BAT was a good place to find a reasonable project car.
They should disclose what to expect though at least in theory.
The terms of service states any known issues must be listed.
@@Beer_Dad1975how do you prove that the seller “knew of the issue”
I got banned from BaT for mentioning a car needs work while actively bidding on it.
Can’t make this up. New buyer said he’d fix but they dinged me.
5:22 I would say the car is pretty hammered for only 18,000 miles. Check out that A pillar.
Yea, not a chance it only has 18k miles, regardless of how old it is. Definitely odometer rollback. Zero carfax history from 2013-2017 (only 14k miles in 4 years??) and from 2018-2024....only 4k miles in 6 years? Right...
For sure. Check out the rear valance panel when it’s on the lift … bashed in and held up by hardware store sheet metal screws. In 1 spot they drilled about four holes and missed the frame each time and gave up made me laugh. Some real ghetto repair work.
Fisker: "Let's build a hybrid, they are better for the environment"
Also Fisker: "Lets make parts all over the planet and assemble it in another country, just like every other manufacturer."
I feel like "Never buy used from Florida" is a reasonable rule.
camgriffin5239 Or New Jersey.
Never buy new in Florida either. There is no state limit on dealer fees, most dealerships near me charge well over $1,000 just for the privilege of being ripped off by some arrogant d-bag salesman and finance guy.
What a great ad to avoid Bring A Trailer.
I bought 3 from BAT - been a few years since. Seems they got money hungry and just let anyone sell now unverified. My experience in the past has been ok, it's old used cars so I would expect some issues, but not a ton of undisclosed.
No, but its a good reason to avoid BAT user "FLCarguy69"
I definitely think the guy is scum, but if you know anything about cars you should know what cars to avoid/are money pits. You have to assume cars like this are piles of crap
Bring A Turd
It’s called bring a TRAILER. I always assumed that meant all the cars are shit, don’t run, and you’ll need a trailer. It’s in the name lol
One of my friend had his driver side mirror knocked on his old alfa romeo 156 and a/c stopped working. His mechanic fixed the mirror and told him that that mirror was where the outside temperature sensor was living. With the mirror and the sensor gone his a/c didn’t know what the weather was like outside and stopped working all together. When your a/c had a faulty reading of outside temperature i remember that incident from years ago.
fiskar is a prime example of how difficult it is to start up a new brand these days. Bricklin had the same issues back in the day.
I think the Fisker is prime for an LS swap. Call your buddy Rich Rebuilds.
I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s a lovely looking car for sure.
Thirding this. Hoovie needs help, all these hooptie scams are driving him to therapy! And what better way to help someone's sanity than engaging in an engine swap!
Yup I been thinking the same several of his cars are to expensive to be buying new engines it's cheaper to find a shop and do the LS swap.
Some might laugh but its going to be the cars future, regardless who owns it. Probably an easy swap, possibly a bolt-in considering its using a north-south GM engine now.
@@FrankBullitt390 Yea the challenging part would be replacing that horrible infotainment system and rigging up your own climate controls etc - but it is doable. It's either that or it'll be crushed in a few years.
Pull the actual blower motor and cross ref., I'm sure Fisker sourced off the self, reuse housing.
This
Or take it apart and repair it.
My shop neighbor has the patent on the lower control arm bushings for the Karma. I do the alignments on everyone he does. He works on the Fiskers from all over the nation. Odds are he has inspected or worked on your car.
Thank you hoovie for bringing down the resale values of used cars everywhere.... and rightly so
Scammed again, that’s strange. Car salesman are usually so honest.
I'm waiting for Rich Rebuilds to walk in.
It's crazy how you got scammed by the fisker owner and better help all in one video.

To be fair, that car and company were a scam from day 1 and still going at it today. And the fisker guy somehow still running around scot-free raising more millions for his next money pit venture.

But we all watched the video, didn't we??
Hes not upset the car is broken, he is upset people lie and don't take responsibility for their issues. Maybe the owner didn't know it was broken. but they should have at least had a discussion with him after finding out.

Hey Tyler, I always feel so rejuvenated after seeing your purchases - I no longer feel a plonker after my own purchases.
Good luck with it. That is a beautiful body style and fine interior. Hoping You can get it fixed.
honestly despite this car being a flop? it's a lot less trashier than the CyberDump
TI agree, the GM engine can be fixed, the AC is a question mark due to a lack of spares, either than that
is not so bad
I mean, that's a pretty low bar, but I hard agree lol
Great grammar.
Just FYI, this is not a "plug-in hybrid"! It is in fact a range extender EV, as in the gas engine is there to only provide electricity for the batteries. There is no classic gearbox or direct coupling between the engine and the wheels! It is in fact just an generator
Literally 🤓
Like a diesel electric train?
Like the first gen Chevy Volt.
I think it can use ICE motor for direct drive on front wheels together with generating electricity for the battery (like Honda hybrids),that's when it runs on "full power" of over 400 HP.
As an automotive engineer, palpable irony if not comedy, that Fisker created an automobile for 'exclusivity' based upon excessive complexity that proves to be a reliability catastrophe.
The automotive space is so difficult to compete in. If Fisker took the same beautifully sculpted bodywork and installed a Chevy LS 450 hp NA Camaro driveline it would be utterly reliable, much faster due to lower weight and be $20K+ cheaper at purchase, but it wouldn't be that exotic and hence there wouldn't be a need to market it at an elevated price or even be that special. So clueless people...sorry Hoovie, your business model is different from the average Fisker buyer...will buy a Fisker and scratch their dumb heads wondering why a car of this ilk at its pricepoint isn't reliable long term or worth anything.
I have a b207 ecotec engine (very similar to yours), and one thing that is guaranteed to fail and cause an oil leak is the pcv valve. It is a check valve with a rubber flap in it which dries out over time, this causes high pressure in the crankcase which creates oil leaks. Just replaced mine, you need to remove the intake manifold which is a pain in the ass but no more oil leaks now and the engine runs better. If you find the valve cover gasket to be hard i can almost guarantee the pcv valve is also in need of replacing.
The ugly electric truck showed you will buy anything, lol.
I’d never buy a car from a “representative”
A neighbor of mine had one of these. Every time he took it out it broke down. I don't know how many times I've seen him pulling out of the driveway, just to catch up with him stuck on the side of the road. That thing had more miles on the back of a truck than it did on the road.

If you take a flat-blade screwdriver under the tab and pull it up briskly, the tab will auto-remove without posing any future problems with disconnection. In extreme cases, Aqua Seal can be used to protect plugs when reconnected -- they should come from the factory this way, but that's a premium upgrade.
Can't trust Bring a Trailer anymore. Terrible. Never use that site again. I'm done.
The site isn't at fault. They had no way of knowing about the seller. The seller signed up in January 2024 only to sell this car. It is unlikely BAT will allow him to list anything else.
Always check the seller. Anyone who has just signed up for this listing needs to give excellent service or walk away.

Speaking of Lada… The same factory that built the Fisker Karma in Finland also used to build Lada Samara cars for the European market. And that Lada also had a GM 4 cylinder engine in it. Old Russian Lada engines couldn’t pass European emissions limits, so they got a 1.5 liter fuel injected GM engines for the EuroSamara
They also built the Porsche Boxster/Cayman
I had a Bosal exhaust on my 1995 M3. The original owner was Australian and brought the M3 here from Canada. I never did look into where Bosal came from or what happened to them. I did love that exhaust. There’s a video of me doing donuts in the m3 with it here on YT.
Good luck in the storm! Looks like the garage is about to get its first big test!
The blower motor is probably a GM $199 special
Blower motor: my Saab blower motor was seized due to water infiltration, I took it apart, soaked it in some magic sauce, and after a few days, it ran perfectly. I also found the defective engineering that let water into the motor and fixed that.
You _might_ actually get tips and tricks on increasing the battery range from the Chevy Volt forums since the battery pack in these I think has similar lineage with the first Chevy Volt prototypes (Continental/A123 Systems). You might be able to rebalanced the cells with GM tools, or another way they do it with the Volt is put it on blocks and just let it roll in Drive while in EV mode (without applying the accelerator pedal so the gas engine never kicks in with 1 mile of range left) and just let it fall below minimum state of charge for a time (which I guess also balances the cells without a visit to a dealer). My Volt with 90K miles has experienced about 6% in range loss although I rarely discharge it completely.
It is still… at the very least sensationally gorgeous! Thanks for the video.
Yes, it makes a spectacular static display.
Fisker, a good designer but absolutely never let him manage a company. He was hawking some "solid state" wonder battery to drive up the stock that was a complete scam as well.
It really is a beautiful car - did you notice the interior? That looked VERY modern for a twelve year old car. That Fisker dude really is a great designer.
I actually drove a HHR with the 2.2 and it had the same oil leak from the VVT solenoids. The stock ones would go bad around 100k miles, and the leak started when I replaced them. The new ones are a bit too small. On the HHR the oil just leaked down the engine and not on the exhaust so there was no smoke. I actually thought a little bit of external oil might be helpful against rust or salt corrosion. It was the real McCoy as far as I was concerned, haha.
Being able to spend 20k on questionable cars must be nice
When you work as hard and as long as Hoovie, you get rewarded. Hoovie probably has loads of debt. Are you still envious? What is wrong with being successful and sharing the problems with these cars with the world? Would it be better if Wizard and Hoovie were being supported with our tax dollars? Unable to pay child support? Really curious about your relationship with success and money.

Fun fact. Henrik Fisker was employed by Tesla to design the Model S. He quit , took the design with him, and launched the Karma at Fisker Motors.
Fun fact… most of what you said is misinformation. Tesla lost that lawsuit when it went to arbitration as there was ”overwhelming” evidence to the contrary.
I think Fisker likely designed a cooler looking model S, but probably thought it was cool enough for him to make money and quit.
More likely Henrik Fisker quickly realised that Elon musk is a vacuous incompetent nincompoop, and went away to design a better product.
@@matthewgodwin3050your assessment of Musk is accurate, but Fisker has so far not designed anything successful, at least not for himself
