WHY I Was CALLED OUT by A YOUTUBER - Did I Unknowingly Scam Someone with a Faulty Hyundai?

Hyundai and Kia are known for bad engines The Smoke Have recalls and may even have a class action law suit against them. In this video I sold a Veloster that ended up needing an engine. How would you have handled it?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I know everyone was waiting for this... Here's my take: Dealers buy loads of cars from auction. Dealers have no way of knowing when a car is going to break down. We do our very best to make sure they are good to go but sometimes one slips through the cracks. Even a great car can break down with no warning. The buyer came down, haggled the price LOWER than advertised, refused a warranty, did not do a PPI, and even claimed in his own video he knew Kia / Hyundai were prone to engine failure. He signed the AS-IS disclaimer then calls Flying Wheels out for "scamming" him?!?!? What planet are you from?!?! And the part I love the most is when the purchaser says in his own video Craig has plenty of money so Craig should pay up $5500. Ummmm, $5500 is $5500 guy! So because Craig can "afford" it he should eat it? Sorry man, nope! Then I heard he traded in the $5200 car for a Nissan Versa and took $1k as the trade value! This guy is not of sound financial mind. Sorry not sorry. I feel he was calling FW a scam to get clicks / views.

A neice of mine in 1992 gave her 1988 Toyota to her sister and bought a shadow America made by Dodge. She asked me what I thought of her new car. I said if you realy wanted to know you would have asked me before you bought the new car. She asked me again. I said you gave away a better car to your sister than the one you bought.

You are so right!

[@CWBinNC]

This is exactly what's wrong with this country today. This dude just made an entire video stating Craig's case for him, pointing out all of the red flags he saw, and that he knows there's no warranty, and yet he's still the victim, and accepts no personal responsibility. Unbelievable! What an A-hole.

[@BenDearing]

The government is telling everyone they are the victims. No accountability .

[@common_c3nts]

They told him to give a discount with no inspection and then failed to do his own pre-purchase inspection.

[@freedomisnotnegotiable]

That’s this generation we have they make decisions and than something goes wrong and they blame it on the others. People go to car dealerships, want to buy a car they cannot afford closely, the car salesmen does his job and sells the car, then they drive of the lot and two days later they make a video saying the dealer scammed them and know they have $1600 car payment. Who decided to sign the paper? Fallen generation, this dude is the perfect example!

[@thetechgenie7374]

The problem is car sure have not even been sold to him in the first place. They sure have driven it at least to make sure all drive cycles were completed. All cars if codes are cleared need to complete a drive cycles to test components and emission components completely. Without that you can't guarantee car is in good working condition period. They need to make it right and give a refund, or repair it. The guy didn't even make it to inspection place before the dreaded " catalytic converter below efficiency" code popped up which means ECU codes were cleared and drive cycles was not fully completed and unfortunately engine been likely running rich due to likely misfiring dumping fuel into the catalytic converter overheating it and now needs to be replaced. Plus find the reason the engine running rich in the first place? They sold him a already screwed up car and need to make it right if he has integrity and take it as a expensive leason learned to do a long drive at least 75 miles to ensure it completes all drive cycles and is actually good to good. I assumed he would know this by now?

The guy seems knowledgeable enough to know exactly what he was buying and getting into. He knew Hyundai has many mechanical issues, he knew there was no warranty, and he was offered a 3rd party warranty. I've had several experiences with a 3rd party warranty. None of them were bad. I even got a brand new transmission. This is a guy who was being cheap and has buyer's remorse.

Exactly. I owned 2 Hyudai cars. First one, bad engine (after I sold it) covered under warranty. Second one, bad transmission at 98k covered under warranty after waiting 3 MONTHS. Then, bad ECU not covered at 102K. Never buying a Hyundai/Kia product ever again. They come with a 100k powertrain warranty because you WILL need it.

[@datacipher]

Red flags he claims: 1. they told him they had a lot of interest in the car (lol) 2. Somebody came with him on the test drive (lol). 3. They told him there was no warranty. Unreal. I have dealt with sketchy dealers… nothing they did was sketchy.

[@ernestoortega2692]

You did not scam the guy. He declined the warranty, he knew it could have engine issues, and he knew it was As-Is. Even the dealership checked and rechecked things. It is sad that he ended up with engine trouble.

[@darthires9506]

It's easy to decide who is truthful, and the buyer sunk himself with his own words!

The guy bought a Hyundai used with no warranty. That’s all that needs to be said end of conversation.

[@tobygray497]

As a car dealer in New Zealand, we are not allowed to sell used cars as is with no warranty. Even 20 year old ones. They are all covered by what is called the consumer guarantees act and people can complain many months after purchase about faults, and the dealer is legally responsible to fix them. There is no set time period but must be what's considered fair and reasonable. It's a crazy system and very hard on used car dealers making small margins, who have to stand by them post sale.

[@CharleB-sabres]

That would be tough to make money, selling 20 year old cars and having someone abuse it then come back and have you replace major parts.

[@1maico1]

@@CharleB-sabres It's how most of the Western World is. In the UK the statutory minimum warranty would be 3 months on a used car from a dealer. Any problems and they fix it or refund. If they refuse they would be taken to the small claims court for breaking the consumer rights act.

[@markmansel9899]

Nah, he did his research. He even states these cars are known for bad engines and bought it anyways without warranty. I don't fault the guy, when you look into what these shitty used-car warranties cover, its ridiculous. I probably would've done the same. He has a right to be angry, but to call it a scam is where he falls flat.

Also clearly with the way the other dealership he took the car to checked out the car sounds like their were lying to him aswell. Saying the clearing inside the motor did not call for. A warranty recall, that sounded like quit a coincidence after the second time. The car a s still driving Ike doo-doo

[@cyber8east]

People just plain blank become the devil when they are at loss and accountability is scarce in our society today. GEN Z is the worst at this and some millienials too. The guy wanted a cheap car and didn't get any warranty and he has to take accountability for signing off on that deal not go out and defame another person just to get his money back, which can be seen as extortion, pay me or I will cause you headache. Petty people. I am with any business owner that is honest and stands behind their product but no owner should be responsible for a product that was used and the client customer bought AS IS and is now proporting that he was scammed which is a dishonest and evil. Keep doing what you do Craig, you're an honest man.

I want you to know that I am a dealer and I recently went though this with a 2016 Santa Fe with only 149,000 KMs (Here in Toronto, Canada) I gave the customer the vehicle with a perfect engine making no noise whatsoever. 1 month later customer calls me and tells me the engine is blown. I highly recommended the warranty. (WHICH DEFINITELY WORKS AND IS NOT A SCAM) the customer declined the warranty. It is now in Hyundai awaiting a decision from Hyundai Canada on whether the engine will be covered and replaced by Hyundai. Moral of the story. Don’t blame used car dealers for manufacturer issues. ESPECIALLY when the customer is fully aware of the common issues. Every manufacturer has issues. What do you expect us to do, stop selling cars??

@@Lokey_8664 let's say his mechanic did clear the codes if any, for the sake of the argument... it's not ethical but is not a scam per say if you sign a sale contract that state the vehicle is being purchase AS-IS, which means any problem the car may have out the door which can be with 5 miles or a 1000 miles the seller don't have any responsibility. And that makes his scam claims against Flying Wheels a defamation case (a very easy one to win btw since the claimer provided a lot content against himself in his video). Now a bit of common sense... every car nowadays above 100k nor below 5000 dollars is a ticking time b__omb. You may be lucky and don't have any problems or you got what you paid for.

Like I told him in the other video, P1326 is a code hyundai took from diesel engines and made their own rod knock code. The problem is with how they implemented the system by taxing the knock sensor to determine spark knock from rod knock. It's sad anyone has to deal with it, the engine is probabaly fine honestly. Hyundai should stand behind their product and replace the engine or find a tech that knows that they're doing. That knock sensor sits so close to the fuel rail that it can pick up the vibrations and sense false knock. Glad you made the video Craig, I didn't see any wrong doing on your part and you even answered my question in this video.

[@robertandrews5656]

I agree with you. If he had any reservations he should have backed out and not bought it or bought it with a warranty. If you are looking for a bargain you need to do your home work first. You takes your chances.

I sell used lawnmowers, and I sold a mower to a guy in spring. This mower was thoroughly run tested, and passed the sell test by me. After the sale the buyer messages me 3 days later saying the mower won't start. I told him to bring it to me next morning so I could look at it. He never showed up at the proper time, and I had to message him back saying I cannot wait all day because I had a job to go to. He messaged back apologizing saying he had personal business to deal with so we agreed on another day. Well that day came, and he never showed up again. Then he wanted to bring another mower over to me to look at which I really did not wanna deal with because i am not a repair business. I just dont want the hassle. I later found out that the guy buys used mowers for his landscaping business. Personally I did not know if the mower did not start due to abuse by him or something I missed. I immediately blocked his ass due to the fact that he used the mower for a business, and I did not need him bringing mowers for me to fix. Not worth the headache

Bought a Veloster for my daughter a few years ago from a businessman in town. It was his daughters. No noises, no lights on dash, no codes through OBD2, clean oil. Seemed to be a good car. 800 miles later it shot a rod out while going down the highway. Took it to my local Hyundai/Kia dealer, it was the main bearings that had failed. There was a recall on them if motor was less than 150,000 miles, ours was. They put in a new motor, noticed the catalytic converter was bad as well, put a new one in at no cost. Long story short, when you buy any used car from anybody it's a gamble. Luckily Hyundai took care of us. She still drives it daily, has another 40k miles on new motor.

Normally driving them home and back sets them all to ready (it's 100 miles of highway speeds round trip) but sometimes it does take 2 trips. I have no problem with a request like that.

[@MrSlowestD16]

But he wouldn't know that if he bought it sight-unseen at the auction.

[@davidashcroft4852]

Craig, I have been a car sales person and a car buyer. I understand both sides. I don't understand how negotiating a price means there is absolutely no help if the engine had a major problem. I have bought many cars and I have never been told that due to negotiating a price, I have bought the car as is. I expect the dealership has checked out the car to some point. So though I don't think you scammed anyone, I do think for maintaining a good reputation, you should have considered trying to do something to help the purchaser out. Calling you a scammer isn't appropriate. However, I recommend you go after those that purposely scam you but take the high road in a case like this.

[@AndreiStrukov]

We have a huge and reputable new/used dealership in Maine that sells cars "as-is" dirt cheap. If you find the car you want among those older vehicle and want it to be inspected or come with a warranty - you need to be ready to pay extra....

[@jeffreythompson1866]

I'm with you, Craig 💯. In my research & experience, Nissans have been garbage ever since Renault bought them out in 1990. You know those dreadful JATCO CVT's. So this d'bag is already looking for junk. Secondly, I side w/both you & Lauren for even offering the Volster at a price I'd call more than fair; given the Korean brands long and infamous history of early catastrophic engine failures. He wanted an even cheaper price, so he ADMITTED HE KNEW he wasn't't getting a warranty. In conclusion I think both you & Lauren acted with perfect professionalism & courtesy. So it's you & Lauren 💯.Best of luck in your new ventures, and I look forward to your appealing & informative videos!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻👍🏻

He went to the hyundai dealer and the dealer cleared the vehicle... not sure how they check the bearing clearances for the recall but maybe they messed something up and he should be going after them for that engine. You did everything right. Either they are trying to scam you or the Hyundai dealer screwed something up that caused it to blow.

My takeaway from all this is never ever buy a used car unless the dealer gives you some kind of in-house warranty. If you see "As Is" run away as fast as you can.

[@ctobias1984]

No used car Dealers “give” anyone a warranty. You have to purchase it.

I've said it before on this channel, having owned a used car dealership for 24 years, and doing my best to buy nothing but the best, sometimes a bad one shows up. after a couple bad ones in the first few years, I completely changed it up, I bought nothing but SUV'S and 4x4 trucks, all off lease with full remaining bumper to bumper warranties. I never had another issue after the sale. I bought theses already front line ready, brought them back from the auction, washed them and out front for sale. Also, did anyone else notice the dealer plate hanging on the wall behind this guy in the video? I think this guy has scammed a few people in his day. Work hard and keep up the honest work Craig, good luck!

[@bentong8]

bruh.. a used Hyundai, no inspection, as-is, and a veloster too which is known to be driven hard by previous owners. well....

[@Sie84yv]

I own a Veloster and understand the risk of owning a Hyundai outside of warranty, so I bought a warranty that has paid for itself just using it once and still have 30k miles left on it. Had I turned down the extended warranty, then I'd be the only one to blame when my car in evitably breaks down

[@georgescarvids]

Craig, you did what you could. I've been in the car business 20+ years and, I think you handled the situation the way it should have been handled. I did F&I for about 10 years of my career and one thing I told my customers "If you buy this vehicle AS IS and it breaks, it is you taking a risk not the dealership" and make them well aware of the risks involved in not Protecting your vehicle Mechanically. He knew the Hyundai/Kia engine issue and still decided to gamble by not taking the warranty. This is 100 Percent on him. Craig, you make a point about driving everything and the fact you can't. So last December I transitioned out of management to a Small Independent lot with multiple locations (I have 37 on the ground currently). I drive a car from the lot home (40 miles one way) and I do my best to drive everything a couple days but, even I can't drive everything before it sells. Used cars at the end of day do used car stuff, all we can do as dealers/salespeople is try to offer the best product that we possibly can.

Me putting a used engine in a vehicle in a situation like this would eat my profits up and not make anything in the long run while I wasn’t losing my ass like the customer would be.

I took those on the chin no problem to keep my name clean and have customers come back in the future which they did. This Sam situation would cost the customer double and people buying a car in this price range usually can’t afford that.

Been there myself 50 years ago. Bought a clean looking car, mid-range miles and within 1000 miles the crank pulley spun over the drift key and ruined the crankshaft. Like you, the seller felt bad but wasn't taking the car back. He worked at a dealership and his contribution to helping me out was simply to get the maintenance dept to fix my car (at my cost) and extending to me his employee discount for parts and labor. This buyer assumed all risk with the purchase, no one made him buy the car. Chances are that no matter where he might have purchased a $5000 car a same or similar situation could have occurred. Just look at other YT posters who have had major repair issues with brand new factory vehicles today. Frankly, just looks to me like he's wanting to build his own YT channel by trying to hurt yours.
