Hey Scotty, what was that book you mentioned in your last video? The one about a biography of a WW2 Tiger tank commander? Thanks.

[@tonymontana3742]

Dealers work together to drive up the price of cars. One dealer takes in a trade and he lists it for a ridiculously high price and then another dealer takes in a similar model and then he compares what's listed and then may go even higher or maybe 100 bucks less. So what you have is wealthy dealership owners creating a market, they can afford to put a huge price on their car and then wait. It's almost a form of price fixing.

[@shaun8702]

If you ring up a private seller always start by saying "I'm calling about the car you have for sale". If they say "which car?" They are a dealer in disguise or flipping cars.

[@issustaita]

Also is always better when they are the original owner.

Then tell the state you paid the sale price and keep any tax over what they have to tell the state about. Example, the price of the car was $8600 "marked down" to $8000 then they have all the figures and if you figure the sales tax it's on the $8600. I asked why and he said "oh that's how all dealerships do it." ??Illegal?? Ummm bye-bye Anywho, they charge the buyer so many fees. One guy I know, wanted to trade in his car.

[@David_Liu93]

Well DR is a great entrepreneur and stuff, but I don't get one thing. The used cars aren't that much cheaper anymore. I was shopping around for a simple Chevy in Calgary and you need at least 15-17k to buy a decent one not with 200k km on them. But at the same time you can buy a new Chevy Spark for the same amount of money or nissan versa. Yes, new cars do depreciate in value but if you plan to use them for 6-8 years it's not a big deal. And with a used car you can be never sure either. So you pay less (or same) but risk more...

Yeah, look out for pre-owned cars at dealerships - i bought a 4 y.o. car with low millage there, but it turned out the left door sill was bent and full of filler. It looked ok when i bought it, all the windows were made in the same year, it ran fine, I've had people inspect it, too. After the first winter, the noise from the outside became louder, and i could see moisture and ice on the inside(!) of the windows. A year later paint started chipping away at the bottom of the doors, since the door sills weren't properly aligned with them, and rocks coming from under the wheels did their part. So i had to paint the doors, though i still didn't know there was a bigger problem at the time. Finally only last year during service we noticed the filler peeling off under the car, and i knew it was in a crash. I had it repaired and painted properly with original parts, and then i sold it 3 months ago, at a modest price. The new owners should be fine now, since i took care of the problem, and it was properly serviced and maintained, but the new car i bought in december was not pre-owned, and i hope i'll never have to go that way again.

Do you have the mechanic check it before you pay for the car? I remember decades back I was selling a car and someone inquired asking if he can take the car to his mechanic to check it out. I didn't agree. Told him he had to bring the mechanic here. He was right not to trust any seller, but trust is a two way street. Why should I let a complete stranger take my car without paying for it? Sure I could go with him but why should I take 2-3 hours out of my time with what may be a no-sale? Better to wait for the next buyer, especially as my car was priced to sell.

At some point you're going to have to buy a car. So, although Scotty may be right, eventually you are going to be taken by some dealership or another. Figure out what you're willing to pay and stick to that. You don't get it, go to another dealership until you do. The more you shop around the more buying power you give yourself. Use what the other dealership offered you to your advantage, rinse and repeat until you get the car you want and the price your willing to pay. Otherwise you will feel like a loser. Just make an informed decision and take your time. The best thing is leave and wait for them to call you. They always do and then renegotiate.

Although this is good advice and will become more and more relevant as people move away from dealerships when selling used vehicles (hopefully with online postings, etc), as long as you do things correctly, do you research, and are careful, you can find some decent used cars to buy from the dealership. Buying from a private owner is always preferred, but quite often you cant find the perfect car from a private owner, there are still more used car dealership listings then private owner listings.

Extended warranty = insurance with stipulations that can essentially deem any repair as "normal wear and tear" not covered. Most manufacturer defects are already covered by government recalls.

[@coolcat6303]

I’ve had many types of repairs done & not once have I ever gotten my money’s worth out of an extended warranty. The average person would probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting their money back from one of these scams.

[@shane250]

That's not always true. I bought a used 2010 Santa Fe. My extended warranty already paid for a new alternator, a rental while it was fixed, a tow, a new control arm, and a driver door latch. I got the "Bumper to bumper" one, there's no time limit, only up to 180K Km. Paid 2500 CAD for it, and I'm on 156K Km right now (bought with 96K Km). So for me, it wasn't worth it unless something really bad will happen very soon (Total paid by the warranty was 1400 CAD), but if I had a European/American car than I'm pretty sure I would have broken even on the 2nd or 3rd year.

Best thing is to see what reviews or people say about the dealership. You can't constantly screw people and not hear about it. And take it to a trusted mechanic to get looked at. Usually there are lemon laws or a few rules/guaranty with dealerships... Theres zero with some guy who thinks his worn car is almost worth what he paid. Carsoup, carguru, and sites like that at least give you market value and tell u if its a good deal or not. Up to you to tell if its messed up. This video could be don't trust anyone... You shouldn't. Mechanics are probably just as bad, worked on a girls car and they snapped off all the wear bars on the brake pads. So the next it'd be rotors and all that...

I knew they were still making at least 1,500-2k profit on the car though based on what they would have given the person for the trade.

I bought my first car - used - at a dealership. A wonderful Audi 90, 5 years old. In good shape and in fact, there were only little costs in the next two years at the mechanic. I loved the car. I always had noticed some strange behaviour of the car, when getting into some tricky corners. A little oversteering, even at relatively slow speeds. I then thought it was my fault, as I was not an experienced driver and that car was just too much car for me to handle properly. Two years of loving the car, and then - one night - I didn't see a curve coming. The car didn't even react to try to take it. It lost the rear with the first touch of steering, it went on two wheels, then flipped over and I am thankful to the designers of the car and my personal luck, and all angels... because I came out of the wreck alive. It took me years to overcome the accident. I felt so guilty, that I wouldn't drive another car again. Some weeks ago I was invited to a meeting, where I had the chance to connect to a database of wrecked vehicles, and... I just wanted to know what had happened to my beloved first and last car. I found it in the records, found out that it was compacted and then shipped to Italy, from there to many other ports and ... probably it ended up in China. When I reached that point, I felt overwhelmed again by the guilty feeling, weakening me again, making me sad. So I leaned back and was about to leave the interface, when I catched something on the screen, that called my attention. It was the historical part of my car before I bought it. And... it was a horror story. Long story short. I bought a car, whose rear end had been smashed in two accidents. No wonder that the car could barely take certain, stiffer angled curves at relatively modest speeds. It was completely out of balance. I wished I had known you before I bought that wonderful car. I wouldn't have suffered the last 15 years. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, but I trusted the dealer. That nearly killed me. I loved driving. I want to drive again. Driving is one of those things that the elite hasn't been able to take away from us yet. Driving is special, a kind of meditation and cure (not always, I know). Time to be alone and somehow connected to the car. On the other hand, that car saved my life, not only because of its safety design, but also later. I started to walk a lot, ride bicycles... and have overcome serious health problems because I am relatively fit. Sorry for all that writing. It just popped out, hope I didn't offend, bore or insult anyone with my two cents. Kind regards, M.

Yes!! Forget what they are called. It's like a salvage title. They fix n fix and sell. Most insurance companies wont even cover. So now u have a car u bought n no one will insure. Messed up. So glad u made it out of it ok. I'm always looking at the engine, the undercarriage. Where it was parked for leaks. How many miles and how many drivers. Very important. A car with 30/40k miles is most likely 1 owner leased vehicle. Anything over 60, 2 drivers u have to be concerned how vehicle was driven. And also if it's used as a local vehicle (more wear n tear) or a hwy vehicle. I always hear hwy is better bc it keeps everything flowing and car not doing as much sitting 🙂
