Seems like this is just a small channel hoping to get a few views by starting drama with a bigger channel. btw you need to get better taste in cars, the fact you originally had the intent on buying an altima tells me all i need to know, buy a car from a company that actually makes decent vehicles and this wont be a problem

You bought a used car “as-is” and are upset that it broke? I’m confused. How were you scammed? You literally said in the video you knew Hyundai / Kia blow motors like crazy, yet you bought one anyway. Your next mistake was trading it in on a junk Nissan Versa. Your biggest mistake was making a video claiming he scammed you. You have no evidence you were scammed. I’d have had my lawyer serve you by the next day with a lawsuit pending. We’d be filing a defamation case at a minimum. You feel he owes you because you declined a warranty and bought a car with no PPI? $5500 is OK for him to spend because he can afford it?

You buy a car at the auction that gets driven in and out at speeds less than 20. It is then driven at low speed to load it on a trailer, then parked on a lot and checked. Then you bought it. How would they know? It is more likely the last owner knew and ditched a problem. It is even possible the selling dealer at the auction knew or the wholesaler.

[@flowhaus5402]

You purchased a nearly 10 year old automobile “as-is,” what more needs to be said? Nobody forced or tricked you into the car, nor did they force you to forego a PPI or scanning it yourself. You should also bear in mind the cost of the automobile and how no reasonable business would offer any warranty on any car of this vintage. Do you think you would have paid $5200 if it did have one? You also failed to mention the mileage in your video, please excuse me if you did and missed it. How many miles has this Hyundai accrued in its 9+ years? I won’t ask why not simply use $5200 as a down payment and make small monthly payments in exchange for the peace of mind in knowing that you’re covered because I do not know your financial situation. However, no reasonable person can expect any type of warranty under these circumstances and you were assured upfront that you are “on your own.” You agreed. In fact, even if the dealer did reimburse you for a brand new engine, it could open the door to future claims since they are agreeing to the warranty claim in the first place. What if they replaced the engine and next week your (fragile) dual clutch gearbox decides to fail? When would their liability end? When you say so! You gambled/lost, as you did when you decided to forego the temp tag/inspection and just “slap a plate on.” Interesting to note, you would’ve probably had more leverage when they went to inspect it and fail at their facility. They honored their word in selling you a product for a price that you agreed to when signing an “as-is” bill of sale. Call it a learning experience but this is how life is in the real world and you should not try to manipulate others to do as you wish by leveraging your hardships. None of this should be new information to you.

Any vehicle sold "as is" has to be in fact sold "as is", if they offered to fix the car and did so then that is an "implied warranty" which in NC means Flying Wheels would have to warranty the car for as long as you owned it, no way out of it. Now as far as trading you back out of it that is totally up to the dealer, I'm sure they could work something out with you if you said that's 100% what you want to do. I'm just curious how much time passed before you let them know it had an issue? If you let them know as soon as you got home that the check engine light came on before it made it home from the dealer then I feel like things would have been different for you. I know from experience that a customer will lie to a dealer way more than a dealer lies to customers. Buyers are liars, It's a sad but true fact. I'm definitely not saying you're lying but you have to look at it from the perspective of the dealer as to getting a phone call days or weeks later stating the car had an issue that started on the drive home from the dealership and I'm just now contacting you, sounds a little unbelievable. Again I feel like you're telling the truth about the car and situation but anything could have happened in the amount of time you bought the car and when you finally contacted the dealer, that's why it would have been critical for you to let them know as soon as it happened. It's a no win situation for the dealer either way and you should have requested to drive the car further than a mile or so at 35mph, go on a second test drive with the detail guy and put it through it's paces. Another thing is they offered you an extended warranty which you had the opportunity to buy but declined to do so because you had a predetermined mindset that the warranty is no good. If a dealer is "throwing in a warranty" or "including a warranty" on any used vehicle it has to be listed on the bill of sale because if not that's going back to an "implied warranty" and they never expire once the dealer repairs the vehicle. Definitely do not trust a dealer that says they are giving you a warranty and it's not listed anywhere in the paperwork. I'm sorry this happened and I watch Flying Wheels too and I do feel like Craig is an honest, understanding person but his hands are tied when it comes to repairing the vehicle. I'd try asking really nicely how you could trade out of it and get into a different, more reliable vehicle for your son. Not to pour salt on your wound but 5 minutes worth of research on Google would have made you run from certain Hyundai's and Kia's, a lot of them are ticking time bombs. It's just a bad situation all around, I'm sorry.

Hey, thanks for the comment. I’m his son, the one the car was bought for. It is a shit situation, but it turned around fairly quick. Ended up going with a 2024 Nissan Versa S Plus, warranty and everything. Was able to get about a grand or so trade in from the Veloster which is better than nothing. Definitely a learning experience.

[@CCMINC]

@@iiTsFaded_ Awesome, yes definitely have to mark it up as a learning experience. Glad you were able to get something in its place.

[@iiTsFaded_]

@@CCMINC I am very much an auto enthusiast and want something nice but as The Rolling Stones say, you can’t always get what you want. This car is a good commuter for my 9-5 and is definitely what I need, but it’s actually grown on me. This’ll be my daily for the next 4-5 years and I’m more than happy with what we went with.

[@CCMINC]

@@iiTsFaded_ cool, yes being a 2024 and under warranty you should be good to go for a long time. Definitely stay on top of servicing that CVT transmission, don't skip any recommended services on the transmission. It's definitely the achilles heel on most Nissan's.

[@Astrand1]

@@CCMINCI agree 100% with what you said but I would take it a step further. Whatever the time frame for the trans fluid is do it sooner! Be ahead of the curve on that!

[@herculanosousa4291]

It sucks that this happened and regardless of it being sold "AS IS" they should've done the right thing,doesn't necessarily mean give you the money back but get you sorted in some way,I've been watching Craigs videos for a long time and it baffles me that he would do this,im sorry for the whole ordeal and it sucks that nowadays this is how most people operate!

[@cliffvictoria3863]

I don't think you do understand "AS IS". Even a PPI might not have found this problem. PPIs don't boroscope. The thing a PPI would find is the trouble code.

[@richardpayne2625]

All cars around here are as is no warranty. All dealers put it on the window. $5200 is not alot of money these days.

[@T_Smooth_]

Don't give up...keep pushing to get it fixed...you need to talk to Craig not the receptionist...I watched a video of his where something like this happened and yes he wasn't happy to have to fix the issue but they both settled on paying half to get the vehicle in question fixed. So possibly he will ATLEAST help with half the cost towards a salvaged motor! Don't give up! ❤ Give us a update...

[@kalways_kustoms]

Thanks for watching!

[@ahmed18881]

So you bought a car that is known to have engine issues, without a warranty, without an inspection, and took it for engine work and now you are hurting and want the dealership to take it back. The dealership didn’t force you to buy it, you accepted the terms of AS-IS.

[@joshuamac6616]

I was a dealer for 20 years. As is or not. You sell a car and the motor goes within a few days. You have a choice. Put a motor in it. Buy it back for the $5200. Or trade you out for a different car.. that is how I always did it. And it happened to me a few times ! I sold a blazer once. $6000 Motor went bad 3 weeks later. I ended up paying $3500 And fixing it. That’s just what you do. As a dealer , Sometimes you take a Hit. Part of the game Sorry that happened.

[@joshuamac6616]

In the future. With a $5000 budget you have very few options 1.) older honda. 2.) older Toyota. 3.)the older Lincoln MKZ are great too as far as American made cars The rest is junk..

[@mattwar1356]

I’m calling BS on this comment. I’ve been in the car business for more than 20 years. I have never heard of a dealer spending $3500 to fix a $6000 vehicle weeks after it was purchased. If that’s how you do business, you would be out of business and 90 days.

[@AJHSVGTS]

​@@mattwar1356100% agree I call total BS on this comment

[@bigmatt503]

You weren't scammed. You purchased a 9 year old car with out a ppi. I also guarantee you signed "as is no warranty" document

[@devinchristiansen5785]

Buddy, as both a parent and a consumer who occasionally has to shop at this price range, I totally understand your frustration. However, throughout your video, you’ve actually explained why this wasn’t a scam. From haggling over the price, declining the warranty, and even acknowledging upfront that these cars aren't in great condition-all of that was clear before you made the purchase. Then, you said you took it to a Hyundai dealer, and they gave it a clean bill of health. I get that you're frustrated, but calling out this small dealer as a scammer just feels wrong. At the end of the day, it seems like you ignored common sense and the dealership’s policies.

[@ToobMusic1]

He knows all of that. He's just trying to gain viewers by naming a more popular KZbinr in the title of his video. I'm betting that it was all in his plan from the beginning. He's probably bought cars from other popular KZbinrs HOPING he could make this video but the cars didn't cooperate. 🙄😒

[@10JKUsah]

Ridiculous to say this is a scam. You knew and ignored every warning sign and the Hyundai dealer said there wasn’t a problem, this is completely on you.

[@pistols0216]

You signed the contract nobody owes you anything. This is what you signed (No verbal agreements will be honored by dealer.) This vehicle is being sold as/is with no warranties, retums or guarantees expressed or implied. The vehicle has been inspected by the buyer and is in running condition. It has been discounted from its retail value in consideration of any repairs it may need. Upon signature and payment, the buyer assumes sole responsibility, and liabiltiy and no way will the seller, dealer, and/or current owner any longer be held liable.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Exactly, it's just an excuse to use "Flying wheels scammed me!! In a thumbnail to get his own channel some views. When your buying a car like that you may as well buy it on marketplace. Nobody on their would give him a refund on it either. Especially because his son probably drove it like he stole it.

[@PristineMindset]

He is going to get sued by Flying Wheels for deformation

[@motorheadproductions88]

Kalway taught me well in highschool He is genuine guy

[@BOVMAN55]

You test drove it, then bought it WITHOUT a warranty. End of story.

[@tguerin5]

Buying used As is means it is now your vehicle. No fault of Flying wheels

[@dieseltech139]

This is why you get a PRE purchase inspection on a used vehicle!!! They didn't know but even if they did, , you could have protected yourself for a couple hundred dollars! Post inspections are funny especially the crying part! 🤣😂😅

[@victorsong8416]

No scam here bud. You bought an as-is car without inspection. However, these Hyundais can break down any time without any warning - even if inspected thoroughly. When you picked the car up was it running? Of course it was. As soon as you left the lot, it was YOUR burden, not the seller's.

[@mike_0213]

Any car you buy from a used car dealership can be a piece of crap.

[@torinobob]

First problem is you bought a 9 year old Hyundai expecting it to be problem free, which is just stupid. A Corolla or a Camry would have been a much safer bet, but it also wouldn't have been 5 grand.

[@RealAlfredoLuna]

I used to watch the Flying Wheels youtube channel. Because I watched his channel, I would never buy a car from him. I have seen that guy spray paint carpets, etc. I bet you he cleared the codes before selling the car. The funny thing is that he is very self righteous and arrogant. You do have a lot of responsibility here though. I think you know that.

[@kalways_kustoms]

I certainly do know this. Thanks for watching!

[@sheiladavis2304]

Of course he knows, he just didn't want to have to admit it.😅😂

[@johnrussell3869]

Yes u have to wonder if they cleared codes or doped the engine with marvel or something? But especially his videos always saying what a stand up guy he is and comments people call him crying wheels.....on the flip side he must know a junkyard or poss source an engine and help get the car fixed on the cheep...?

[@ToobMusic1]

Taking the time to dye vaporetto to make them look better is NOT a bad thing!! You expect a dealer to replace carpet?? You're smaarrrt! 🙄😒

[@VladimirKolombet]

As a car dealer myself and a Christian. I go above and beyond to help my customers after a purchase. I sell used vehicles with no warranties unless someone wants a 3rd party warranty. I can with confidence tell you that there's no dealer that would of ethically gave you a full refund. It sucks that this happened to you but you cant blame the dealer. We as dealers get screwed when we buy these cars at the auction. They sometimes break days or month after we buy them unexpectedly. The only difference is, is we dont go blaming the auctions. Cars break all the time, man. You have to take accountability and stop relying on others to fix your problems. You should of bought a new car if you wanted warranty. Used cars suck and break but we still sell them and people still buy them knowing all this. You knew you were risking it when you bought it. Take accountability, man, and remove this video because it doesn't look good on you.

Yes,but as a so called Christian wouldn't you have some compassion? Not in this all about me entitled,self centered world!

As is" refers to a condition where a product or item is sold without any guarantees or warranties regarding its quality or condition. The buyer accepts it in its current state, with all existing flaws or issues.

[@extremedrivr]

And Hyundai are NOT known for being well built. AKA engines grenading, cars catching on fire, ect. The uploader knew this but still bought one anyway, yikes!! And FYI some used car dealers only give a 15 day warranty. That's how it was with the car I bought about 3 years ago.

[@OneOut1]

You stated you knew Kia and Hyundai were blowing engines left and right yet you bought one anyway. And yet you still try to blame it on someone else ?

5:39 maybe new Hampshire is different but 23 years in the auto business and I've NEVER seen a used car lot where the vehicles come with any warranty. Even 3mo/3000 or any. In Washington state at least EVERY used car is deemed as is no warranty expressed or implied. And of course they offer an extended but I'm with you those are a ripoff.

[@anthonylarocco6763]

Not to mention Craig just lost $40,000 on that electric Audi and now probably about $50,000 on that Ferrari not to mention the Tesla truck that hes probably gonna take a $40-$50,000 hit on so that’s about $150,000 that Craig just lost on three cars, he actually is going broke like he said he is barely scraping by.

[@nicholastaylor1546]

The sad thing is if you say what is wrong with your car when you trade it in - the dealer will forget about the information you tell them and send it to the auction and some other person will get screwed

[@fredheddington5318]

When buying a use car check out a site on that type of car for problems but you should have taken it to a mechanic to check out the engine and transmission it's the most expensive thing to fix

[@kalways_kustoms]

I fully agree. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching!

[@gj4093]

You bought the car AS IS! You turned down buying a warranty to save you money even drove away on your own tag to save you money. YOU SCAMMED YOUR SELF PAL!

[@chaserivers4058]

[@davidjimenez7556]

😂😂👏🏽👏🏽

[@catalinalexandru9836]

You can try to go to a local mechanic to work on it. Usually the dealership just don't bother to do a propper diag or to fix it. It's easyer to say that it's needing a new engine instead fixing it. In Europe, we have this kind of problems regulary!

[@edwardcase6594]

So a guy that supposedly knows cars goes and buys a used Hyundai from a used car dealer and expects it to be reliable. He doesn't even check if the OBD2 is emissions ready or has been cleared recently. Great way of getting lots of views and likes by crying about being scammed by another KZbinr that is much more popular. If you truly cared about your kids you would have bought a Honda or a Toyota from the original owner and you wouldn't have a KZbin video to make. Lol boohoo 😂

[@ernestoortega2692]

You were not scammed. You bought it As-Is, you declined the warranty, you were aware it could have engine issues, the dealership checked it and rechecked it. It is unfortunate that the car ended up with engine issues.

Thank your government, as a used car dealer we have to sell them as is, and we have to have someone go on test drives, I've had father and son try to race a Corvette with a dually diesel, and insurance requires it, plus, as much as we as dealers,would want to help you, once we break the as is veil, now ,we have implied a warranty, and then we will get sued for everything ! forever, thank the attorneys, and no fan of another dealer, but last I knew, the dealer did not build the car, plus, all cars are crap these days, lease a car and give it back when your done, I'd like to see the video of the dealer forcing you to buy the car

[@richardpayne2625]

I don't understand, do you expect the dealer to be able to see into the future? If the new car dealer could not find it first thing how did you expect the used car dealer to know? As you said they are notorious for problems with engines. You should not have bought it.

[@stacydunning8975]

I used to manage an auto finance company. I live in CA, so the laws could differ, but had you bought their 3rd party warranty, I think this situation could have had a different outcome. Yes, the warranty company would have flagged the claim as potential fraud, BUT that would be fraud from the dealer, not you. I don’t think he intentionally sold a lemon, nor do you based on this video. The dealer and the warranty co would have to decide between the two of them who’s going to pay the claim. The warranty company has far more power than us regular people. Regardless of who ended up paying, I think you would have got a new engine. I’m sorry you’re in this situation… 😪
