Used to work at a used car dealership and something I'd advise people to do is bring along a mechanic or someone who has experience with cars. Take the car for a test drive Atleast twice before buying it. Most of the cars we sold were just "fixed" to the point of you being able to drive for a few days. I remember some guy bought an X5 for 180k and a week later the gearbox had issues, the dealership knew about it but kept quiet

Well if you're going to buy an x5 for 180k something has to be wrong with it. Thanks for the advice though mate.

Great video as always🔥, my 2 cents on the mileage thing is that. If a car has a high mileage but with full service history, I will take it because it is proven to be reliable as all the parts have been serviced and the ones that needs replacing has been replaced... always go for full service history if you can.

This is very informative. I remember buying my first car (secondhand) at those dodgy dealerships and had engine light issue 2 days after buying it. Took the car back to the dealership and the owner told me to just ignore the engine light and keep driving the car as is. Before buying the car I was being treated nice and after buying the cars the entire dealership became hostile. DO NOT BUY CARS AT UNCERTIFIED DEALERSHIPS!!

When it comes to bumper gaps and incorrect bumper alignment, that does not necessarily mean the car was in an accident. 90% of all second hand cars for sale, will sooner or later have their front bumper removed at some point of time to have it resprayed due to stone chips. When putting the bumper back on, this is when workshops fit the bumper incorrectly and that's why bumper gaps and alignment is not how they're supposed to be. Good content though! Loving every video.

Good advice. I once bought an Opel Astra in 2004. It was sold to me as a demo at a GM dealership. A few months into owning the car, it would just stop and would not start. Each time I took it in they were fixing something. I travelled from Pta to Jhb for work daily. One day I got stuck in Jhb the car had to be towed in to the nearest dealer in Randburg. When I went to fetch it they said it was a gearbox, I got mad and asked them why would a car as good as new have gearbox issues I told them it's not the first time I got stuck with the car yet I bought it a few months ago. Then I took the service book and looked at it, to my surprise the car was not a demo it was used by Hertz Car Rentals before. From that info I wasted no time I shopped for another car and traded in the troublesome one. I had the car for 14yrs, it was a 1yr old model with under 10k mileage. It was over 200k when I sold it and the owner is still driving the car till today.

I don’t work for We Buy Cars but I find when it comes to used car dealerships they a the most transparent… I’ve bought cars from MasterCars that the dealer said had no issues and had 80 point checks done only to find out that the car burns soo much oil that it needs a engine rebuild or it needs a gear box change coz the synchros are gone and yes they offer warranties but it’s mostly third party and requires you to pay close 40% of the repair bill… buying used is taking a shot in the dark you can never know what you getting even if it’s a reputable company !!! But with the Dekra report you getting a lot of information irrespective of it being a marketing gimmick to you… your review has a lot of valid points when it comes to the bodywork of the car but also you fail to inform your viewers that a resprayed bumper could have been a minor scratch that was repaired you have to check inside the engine bay or boot in order to see serious damage . Thank Dr
