Seven big mistakes from the video: (1, most important) Not having a private mechanic, (2) Ignoring CARFAX check, (3) Choosing looks over mileage, (4) Not budgeting for extras (such as insurance), (5) Not choosing either a dealership or private owner, (6) Going for a fully loaded car, and (7, least important) Making a rushed decision.
Nice
Great advice on how to spend half of your life to buy a car and waste sellers time
thanks for saving me alot of time
👎🏾 to much pauses. Drive stop drive stop without getting to the point.
💯
Cringest intro I ever seen in my life ngl
HAHA LOVE YOUR SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES ON YOU KEEP SAYING ITS COLD AND HOW YOUR WANTING TO BE IN A WARMER CLIMATE WITHOUT SAYING IT~
You are not focused. Too off topic. Could not finish watching.
Great tips, enjoyed this very informative video and the relaxing setting in the countryside and in nature was a welcoming change from the busy hustle and bustle of the city, didn't know there are black squirrels around. Muchas gracias. The following comments are my opinion only. I'm not a mechanic, lawyer, or work in the vehicle industry and I'm not looking for subscribers. You should always check out everything for yourself, especially when making a big purchase. Fancy chrome doesn't get you home. Having a private mechanic is great, but I don't think it's totally necessary. An alternative to this is to just tell the seller, or better yet have it in writing in the sales contract that before you buy the vehicle you demand to have it inspected first by a reputable service station of your choice, that way your only spending $200 to 300 hundred pesos or less if you can get the seller to agree to pay half instead of who knows $2000 to $10,000 for costly repairs later. Although like this concerned and smart señorita previously mentioned, you're going to have extra costs like vehicle insurance, maintenance, and extra costs like winter or summer tires, AMA or vehicle towings or flat tires or out of gas or breakdowns on the side of the road to consider as well. I prefer buying from a dealership because they need repeat customers and if they burn you, they will get bad publicity. They want to avoid this to get good feed back and good customer reviews or it will hurt there next chance to sell a vehicle whereas a private person may or may not care about their reputation and just may want to get rid of a vehicle or sell it fast to the first sucker who comes around which might be poor you. Also, dealerships offer some warranties and exchange or return vehicle options/programs while a private seller will not and it's buyer beware or all sales are final with them. You will not likely be able to return the vehicle from a private seller deal and get your cash back unless you had something in writing before you purchased the vehicle. Of course not all private sellers are the same just like not all dealerships are the same either. It's always good to do your due diligence before you hand over hard earned cash to the seller. Do they have more happy customers then unhappy customers for a dealership. Check out the BBB and it's ratings if the seller/dealership report to them. Does the seller look desperate to sell and does he or she try to put high pressure on you to buy it today, this could be a sign they just want to get rid of this vehicle fast. I like the suggestion this señorita gave, which I also do, wait on it, or sleep on it, if its really important to get that back up camera, then tomorrow you will know if it's a necessary evil or it's just a fad or thing you will hardly ever use in the future. She also had a great suggestion on going with low mileage (ie. miles in the USA or kilometers in Canada) rather than choosing high end features like leather seats and stitching. Hence my comment previously about Fancy chrome doesn't get you home. I would like to add also, that it's also good to note how often was the vehicle serviced, if ever? If a vehicle has higher mileage but it's been regularly serviced say every 1 to 2 years is going to be a huge bonus over a vehicle that has never been serviced but has lower mileage. It's like having an cautious senior lady driver versus a young teen head banger and smoker that has one of those boom boxes you can hear a mile down the road. Which one would you like to buy your vehicle from, the conservative old lady who always takes her time parking and always away from all the heavy traffic or the heavy metal rocker who doesn't care where they park and lets everything bang up against the vehicle and who also has a heavy foot and races everywhere. If your a teen heavy metal head banger and smoker and you have the best looking and well maintained vehicle in the neighborhood, then cudos to you, I take my hat off to you. And if your reading this and your a lady senior driver with a heavy lead foot and you like your loud heavy metal music and terrorizing your neighbors is your thing, then, there is still hope for you as well. Another good tip, while at the dealership, see if you can take the vehicle on a solo test drive, some dealerships have let me do this and you don't feel so pressured to buy and you can really get a better feel for the vehicle and more easily pick up on any quirps or hickups of the vehicle and determine if it's right for you. By doing this, you will more easily notice if something doesn't feel right about the vehicle. Does the steering wheel want to pull to the right or the left while driving on a strait a way road, if so, this could mean the vehicle needs a front wheel alignment or it has been in a previous accident, does it leave any fluids on the road while it's parked, could mean costly seals to replace, is there any knocking or ticking sounds under the hood or in the engine, it could mean costly engine repairs sooner or later. Another good thing I would suggest, if buying from a private seller because a dealership would have already done this if they are reputable is check at the registers or licensing agency to see who is on title on the vehicle or who is the registered owner and if there is any liens on the vehicle. If the person who is selling you the vehicle is not the person on title, this may be a red flag because you could be buying a stolen vehicle. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If your buying from a private seller, make sure the vehicle has no liens on title because the bank could be coming after you if the previous owner had a loan that they didn't pay off in full. This is why it's important to have a good written sales contract that protects you and to do your due diligence. Hope I have made sense and I have helped someone here before they made a big purchase or have made costly mistakes that are not so easily reversed later. Dios te bendiga, mi amigos y mi amigas
I have searched a lot in pei, dealers they didn’t have my budget cars… none of it… so I forced to do a private buy. I almost buy one a Subaru forester 2.5 2016, that car is however great treated by the only last 2 owners.
thank you for the video, However could we please get in to the topic now.
You are welcome. I am not a car person and I need a break between takes to organize my thoughts, thanks for the feedback though.
How do u get the car checked with a mechanic without purchasing the car? The dealership will not let u take the car right?
Most dealerships will let you take it out of their garage on a fee that will be refunded once you bring the car back, some places are better at it than others. Make sure you ask beforehand so there are no surprises.
Enjoy your vehicle Eli. And belated Happy Bday!! Didn't want to bombard you on Instagram! Nothing but open roads ahead for you. Safe travels.
Aww, thanks Johnny. I appreciate it!
Are you single?
It was awesome watching this,it also gave me insights on getting a used car! Thank you and also enjoy your car😊
Aww that's so sweet, thank you for watching :)
Me encanta tu estilo😎⭐👋
Love your videos could you give me a rough estimate of the additional cost. I Should be coming to Canada soon and was looking to buy a car there
Thanks for watching :) It really depends on the car you buy and the insurance, but I would say anything around $500 CAD or more.
My friend please cut to the chase .Thanks for creating the content but please so it more efficiently
My Mazda has 382,000 km on a CX-5 and virtually no engine work has ever been done to it.... combination of regular maintenance and using Amsoil and bitron.... sometimes I just wish it would die but in spite of it not this is the first time we're going to upgrade to an Acura MDX LOL.
That's why some cars are more popular than others, they just take a little bit of owner's care and they last a really long time. Good work on your car!
thanks for your video, it really helped for a newbie who are just recently looking for a used car.
I'm so happy to hear that! Best of luck with your search :)
Your extra information is eeally not necessary. So just lustening to the first two is more than enough.
Get to the fucking point!!!!!!!!! Daaamn
Lmao, a car that you looked at today and want to sleep on it, someone looked at it yesterday and slept on it, so come tomorrow and look and another car and then sleep on it. And keep doing it over and over again untill you your health is not suitable for operating a motor vehicle
Right on time, I'm looking for a car in Toronto
Thanks for the tips !
Amazing!!! Best of luck with your search and don't make the mistake I almost made th-cam.com/video/DveeATtDhXM/w-d-xo.html
You just wow
Good.
Stratford! :-) I used to work at Balzac cafe 🙏💕☕️ thanks for helpful video 🚙
Thanks for watching! Such a sweet spot downtown :)
feel bad for you buying a nissan with all their issues
I was Born in Stratford
just want to confirm something so even buying a used car from ford/toyota or any other car manufacturer you need to get it checked by a mechanic??? dealerships can also sell broken cars just like a private sellers? I'm confused. Thanks for the video.
Hey, thanks for this question. Many people would tell you that when you buy a used car from a manufacturer, you're doing a safe deal because the manufacturer is interested in you not bringing the car back for warrenty, etc. But speaking to mechanics I know, they say it's always better to get them checked by your trusted mechanic.
Let's take the example of the first car I wanted to buy which was a Chevrolet with a turbo engine, the car was in mint condition and a manufacturer would have told me that. But my mechanic told me that those turbo engines are great when the car is new, but tend to cause a lot of problems down the road. So I trusted my mechanic and went for the Nissan Rogue.
I hope that helps :)
I wish ,but cut out and get to point👉
Thank you for the very nice share, I have to say you are very charming
You are too kind, thanks for watching!
Love from Singapore
Si exciting! 🎉❤🎉
Good job for not posting the link to your previous video
Wait, I did! Did you watch it on your phone? Sometimes they don't show up when you watch them on your phone :/
Hola
Helpful tips for choosing a car
Glad you think so!
Just want to say 100,000 miles is not the same as 100,000 kilometres. Miles are the bigger numbers so 100,000 kilometres or even 200,000 kilometres on a vehicle is not a bad thing that’s barley anything. For example 100,000 kilometres is only 62,000 miles. So 200,000 kilometres would be 124,000 miles.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!
you should patten that!!!!!
Maybe you can get a noble prise too!!
@@dkrawk8309 it’s true Miles are the bigger numbers so 200,000 kilometres is barley anything cars just broken in that’s only 124,000 miles. If a car can’t hit 100,000 miles it’s a peace of crap to be honest.
@@ryans413 lmao. Miles are bigger NUMBERS?
So 124k Miles is BIGGER than 200k Kilometers?
200k is END of most of vehicles life span.....like where is You getting all of these "truths" from????
How many cars have you driven/owned/bought/sold/worked on in your life?
@@dkrawk8309 yes 1 mile is farther then 1 kilometre. So a car with 200k kilometres has driven less distances then a car with 200k miles.
@@ryans413 I'm amazed by your knowledge!!! You should be a mastermind of the world!!
Love from melbourne
Hello to Melbourne!!! 🎉
Break a leg 🍗
Thank you!!! 😊
Thanks for the tips =)
You bet! Thanks for watching :)
Can you offer me some advice?
Have a 2014 Camry SE V6 with 170,000 km (not miles).
I want to approach the dealer that has a 2014 Corolla LE for sale asking $12,300 or so.
I looked up the going price for similar camrys on Autotrader and their selling for $16,000.
How should I proceed. In a normal situation, the trade in is kept secret unyil a price is negotiated on the car, but in my case I want to exchange, and even take a loss on the Camry.
Help!
.......juat make up a wild most nonsense story and present it to the dealer, make sure its a very long story. Dealer will give you possible deal
Could you share the contact of the mechanic that helped you?
Absolutely! 66 Rankin St, Waterloo, his name is Jorge.
@@ElizabethExpress , thank you so much. I thought he was in Toronto. Thanks though
Muy hermosa
