I was looking for 4x4 to pull my boat. I went to large lease dealer. They had what I wanted. Sales person told me all about lease holder and what it had been used for. He then said we recommend you take it to a dealer and get it inspected. They took it to a dealer. Service manager at dealer called me and went over what needed to be fixed and expected costs. I declined the sale. Lease company was given a copy of the inspection, best $99 I ever spent.

[@ChevyDude]

I love to hear it. I was truly shocked 😱 with what happened to my truck. But glad we caught it and fixed it.

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

You paid $99 for that inspection. Why would you give anyone a copy if it, unless they paid for half of it?

[@davidpeters9343]

Another great video as always and I enjoyed this alot and once again that was some great information. Anyways thanks for sharing keep up the great work much love to ya mike have a good one take care god bless and I will see ya on the next one

[@Shawncombat]

I was going through my google reviews and I left you a 5 star review at Bachman Chevrolet mentioning you being amazing 6 years ago

[@scotthickam904]

Good points. Next time I will try to remember these tactics

[@EmilyBoehm-h7j]

Your videos are a true source of inspiration and wisdom. Thank you for your creativity and dedication!🏵🔷🏋️

[@youtoobe169]

So many people never take accountability for choices they made. It's always somebody else's fault.

LOL..lots of truth in that reply.

[@Fezzent]

I love how you always start the videos slamming your door

[@roycervantes1341]

Good morning Chevy Dude,,,,,,,,,Yeee Yeee 😃👋🙏👍😀

[@Tundra-pw2cu]

Can you trust a manufacturer certified (CPO) car that comes with the manufacturer extended warranty and a carfax without getting an outside mechanic pre inspection . The salesman say these cars must meet the standards of the manufacturer to be certified. For example a Toyota or Lexus certified vehicle.

[@dennissvitak5475]

#1 mistake is thinking a used car salesman has your best interests at heart.

[@paulwicklund5044]

Enjoy all the snow.

[@oranbooker1356]

Hello, I really appreciate your videos. I have a question. I've been looking at cars online to buy because I am not in a hurry and have time to find a good deal. I am looking to purchase a high-end car ,used 2 to maybe 3 years old. Back for a lease etc etc. There are some good deals out there. How could I get a per purchase inspection and the car is out of state before I purchase it to make sure all is good with the car? After the purch

[@OhioStateJK]

Chevy Dude can you just go with me when I go buy my next car please???? I HATE HATE the car buying experience!!!

[@XX-166]

Do your own homework.. the information is out there so become informed

[@sawyermartin4434]

Relax. You are WAY overthinking it. Do your research on what cars similar to what you're looking for are being listed & sold at. Go find one that you want to test drive. If it checks out, sit down & make an offer to buy the car. Sign your paperwork & enjoy the car. There is nothing scary about it.

[@XX-166]

@ ALWAYS get an independent prepurchase inspection. DO NOT TRUST ANY stealerships and their assertions on the vehicle you’re interested in.

[@manny4941]

Came across your channel Very good advice keep making more videos

[@ChevyDude]

Thanks. Glad to have you here.

[@MrGrand2000]

The problem with the ad ons such as window etching is that it’s already on the vehicle and they’re not going to remove it…

[@ChevyDude]

It does not matter. The add-ons that dealers put on the cars are so minimal cost that they are willing to take the chance and risk. Unfortunately, most people just go with the extra charges so if they have to give one or two away per month for free, it doesn’t affect them.

[@TheDespicablePatriot]

Bought my '21 chevy silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab 5.3 V8 for $29k out the door, only had 55k miles on it, single owner, babied to heck and had complete service records on it. Paid cash, so no car payment and I've got the title in my records folder. My one line in the sand was ensuring that the AFM was disabled in the truck because of the lifter failure issues. I got the build sheet for the specific truck which confirmed that the AFM was disabled. I told the salesperson that if AFM was enabled, I would have walked away, even though it was a great deal on my dream truck. You have to be willing to walk away even if it's the vehicle you really want.

[@Evil_Clown83]

Even if it was turned off in the computer, you still have those AFM lifters that are prone to fail. You'll need to upgrade to a non-AFM camshaft and get non-AFM lifters to be safe.

[@TheDespicablePatriot]

@Evil_Clown83 sorry, I should have expanded on that. The previous owner already replaced the lifters and camshaft back in '22.

[@watomb]

It’s the trade in period

[@jamesgreen5924]

There's not a lot of money made when purchasing a brand new car. On the other hand, used cars are a different beast.

[@andrewfincham8859]

What do you feel is a fair price for a PRE PURCHACE INSPECTION? It is DEF on my list to do.

[@biggums3368]

I've paid around 190 to 200. Worth it. I saved 10k on the whole deal 😂

[@larryr4456]

I hate when people do not research what car/make they want. They just go car shopping and look at whatever car looks good. If I was a salesman I would eat that up😂, people do your research before going to a dealer.

[@markmeger2455]

Please help. Dealer installed wrong oil filter destroyed my 2019 pilot. They want to install used engine from junk yard. I want new. What's my options. Thanks for your help

[@ChevyDude]

I'm sorry to hear about your situation-it's incredibly frustrating when something like this happens. Here's what I would do: Explain to the dealership that by putting in a junkyard engine, they’re introducing a lot of unknowns. You don’t know the engine’s history, condition, or reliability, which puts you at a much higher risk for issues down the road. Yes, a junkyard engine might fix the immediate problem, but it doesn’t restore the dependability and durability of your vehicle. Since this mistake was caused by their service department, the only fair resolution is for them to install a new engine. That not only fixes their error but also gives you peace of mind and lowers your risk of future problems. Put this in writing and make it clear you’re holding them accountable for fully restoring your vehicle to the condition it was in before their mistake. If they refuse, you may need to consult with a consumer protection attorney to explore your legal options. Stand firm-they need to make this right.

[@lisalamberton6486]

How do you negotiate with a dealership that is “no pressure” and salespeople won’t approach you-they don’t care if they make a sale or not?

[@kabloosh699]

Do your due diligence. Find the care you want on their lot. Research how much the going rate for that car. Figure out what you are ok with paying for that car. Have the ideal amount and the amount you will pay max for. If they won't sell it for that max amount you are willing to pay just walk away. Find out what the additional costs like doc fee is. Figure out if you want anything additional like an extended warranty. Usually better to just find some other 3rd party and just tell them if they want to match it or not. Get pre-approved for a car loan.

[@J002]

So with a PPI, you get an inspection before buying the car? Do dealerships offer that or is it you have to take it elsewhere first

[@ChevyDude]

Always use a 3rd party. My personal opinion a well respected independent shop is the best place

[@biggums3368]

3rd party like he said , and if they don't allow them.....run

[@agrippa1234]

So you're saying within your 10,000 car deals, if you saw someone succumbing to the pressure of the sales pitch you would back off and warn them so they didn't make a nervous/anxious buying mistake? That would put you in auto sales saintdom.....

[@XX-166]

HE WAS PART OF THE PROBLEMS HES DESCRIBING

[@mommamaria2895]

I would suggest.........if you are interested in a new vehicle of any kind.............get an honest pro like this to go with you to buy what you want for the price you want. It will be worth the money to pay a professional like this man, $200 (or whatever they will charger you) to go with you when you KNOW you are going to buy a car, but need the best deal possible. Let HIM do your hashing, knashing, and debatingfor you. You will just be there to sign the paperwork. This way, you've saved thousands over paying a knowledgable pro to go with you, and paying them a few hundred to save you thousands.

[@100percentjames66]

" avoid these car buying mistakes " " ... I.E. don't buy a vehicle from a dealership.

[@SmittyAZ]

Don't dealers know all of the 'tricks' their 'smart' shopping customers are trying?

[@Rontum]

You mentioned low balling your trade in. How do you negotiate that. I mean the first offer is that there best offer?

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

If they low ball your trade, let them think it's OK, then pull the trade at the end. Sell it yourself.

[@johnwest]

he's said in previous tips videos to go get quotes for your car from other dealerships (not as a trade-in, but just as a sale), so that you already have leverage when you talk trade-ins with the dealership

[@JonMurman]

I make it very simple. I Tell the salesperson I want to pay no more than $800 per month and it works every time. They come in at $787 for my Used Hyundai Elantra for 72 months and I got $3,000 for my trade!

[@sktouringsaskatoon711]

That doesn't sound like a very good deal. 787 x 72 months is just shy of $57000. Add the 3,000 trade in and you paid $70,000 for a used Elantra>?

[@JonMurman]

@sktouringsaskatoon711 I was making a joke. I'm a veteran of the car industry and know the business VERY well.

[@hishambourar1691]

Why on earth does this business remain so treacherous and unregulated!

[@TheIronChainMaster]

The majority of peoome putti g feeling over facts when it comes to car buying

[@SS-lt3mh]

I really dislike videos where the blame is placed on the buyer, the buyer enters your store expecting to be dealt with integrity and honesty. You make car buying very adversarial, and not honest. No one should walk into a dealership fighting to get an honest deal. Just have some integrity up front. Stop blaming the customer when blame falls squarely on a dishonest dealer. 💯

[@sawyermartin4434]

It is not as one-sided as you're making it out to be. Nothing in life is. Sometimes it is the buyer's fault, sometimes it is the dealerships fault, sometimes it is a mix of both. Use your head a little more.

[@SS-lt3mh]

@@sawyermartin4434the only fault is dealing with dishonest people, integrity is very lacking, you just proved it.

[@sawyermartin4434]

@SS-lt3mh Again, you are WAY overthinking the process.

[@raiden031]

I blame the customer because the reason dealers do what they do is because people are willing to pay whatever fees they tack on
