Don't buy from Carmax. Had a car I purchased in Buford GA. Bought a 2014 Ford Focus ST. Had 50K miles for 16 grand, was a great car. I jacked it up, and it was full of rust underneath. The battery terminals were corroded, the hood latch was rusty, and it smelt a little funny. Pulled up the rugs and low and behold, white rings of what looks like dead mold underneath the floor mat. I returned it and got my cash back with their 7 day policy! Never again! Don't even trust a dealership! I now drive a 1995 Ford Escort Wagon with a 5 speed. Payed 500 bucks for it and I'm as happy as I can be. Scotty knows what he's talking about.

Very good video Scotty. My used car was under $1000 so if anything bad ever happened to it (water damage, major tranny damage...), I would just sell it for scrap value and buy another cheap one. It runs well and so far only thing I had changed on it were new rear brake rotors and new rear brake pads. Other than that it runs fine and even came with a nice new big battery. Cold AC too. What a deal! Oh yeah and some 6x9 three way speakers installed in the rear deck, a used K&N air filter, 1 replacement used tire in front, and a subwoofer will be going in the trunk over the winter months. What I really enjoy about the car (other than the low price and cold AC) is the manumatic tranny. If I have a slice of pizza in my hand, I use full automatic, otherwise I shift the 4 gears myself.

When my father bought the car from the auction, we did a full service overhaul of it. New spark plugs and wires, Engine oil, Transmission oil and filter, tires, shocks, etc. Then the power steering started to leak. New front end. Then coolant and engine oil started to leak. So we got new gaskets and a new radiator. Then the car had no brakes. New brake lines and brake pads. Talk about a lot of work! And it’s almost 200K miles.

Then close the cocks and proceed to fire her up. Always a delight to follow you Scottie.

Years ago a customer with a limo company bought a gorgeous dark blue late model Lincoln that had been pulled out of the ocean on the east coast. Took the gamble at auction, knowing that fact. He thought he had scored a great deal when he was able to get the water out of the engine and get it started, and it ran great. Body was gorgeous, engine and trans were fine, and everything worked. Well, if you have ever seen what salt water does to copper wires and connectors and other electronics.....this car was loaded...with power seats etc. etc. I remember when after a few months the trouble started....I found wiring harness connectors just disintegrating and crumbling away...after a while word got out about the car, and the Ford dealers in the area would not touch the car.....he couldn't find anyone who would touch it.

Girlfriend: Honey! Your car is flooded. Me: You are joking, you don't even know what a carburator looks like. Girlfriend: It is heavily raining outside and the car is literally in a pool of water.

If it's going to flood, and you own a Volkswagen or Chrysler, park it on low grounds. 😋

You're such a part of my day Scotty that when i heard of the Houston floods you're the first person I thought of and worried all the way up here in the Pacific Northwest. (My family lives in South Texas) lol.
