  4. Check and measure the size of the gap between wheel and wheel-well-liner for all tyres. That gap should be same for the wheels at same axle (i.e. front-left = front right and rear left = rear right). Any mismatch indicates that that car was involved in a serious accident.

  5. Super helpful! I learned from Quora to use your fist to compare the space in the wheel wells, and sure enough, the car I was trying to buy had frame damage! Saved me a lemon

  8. Price ?? Ha ha 90 % of these never have the price, they just have phone number , mileage and a few specs details

    It should be bloody illegal to even display this without the price , oh and the No low ballers crap needs to end

    Nothing worst than wasting your own and someone else time when they can’t be bothered to price it because they always come out offended, even when it says make me an offer because they are going to be offended when I say your car is worth x amount

  10. I remember when this series first came out and I was waiting for each episode. Now, I'm in the market for a car after a hybrid battery failure. I can't believe I've been watching you this long!

  11. I bought a CPO Mustang from a dealership two weeks ago and turns out the differential has been leaking for months and the drift shaft is unbalanced. When I had it tinted the shop told me there was two small dents in the car as well. Crazy. Shit dealership for sure.
    Right now it’s in the dealership shop and hopefully they fix it for free or I’m going to sue them for malpractice. CPO should mean it has NO major issues other than regular wear and tear. Ill be using this guide from now on so I dont get fucked over like this again.

  13. Used this video for a college communication assignment. Been watching for years. Thanks for making my assignment easy and enjoyable.

  21. This was really helpful! What sort of things are you looking for during a test drive? I'm in the market for a used car now, and I'm not sure how to scope out a lemon during a test drive.

  23. Hi Chris, I want to say Thank you this video helped me buy my first vehicle when I was 21 through a car auction. I always look back to this video when I have family or friends who need help buying a used car.

  29. this is a good guide to inspect but you are looking at a car for a pretty penny price go to your trusted mechanic cuz u will see better oil leaks when the car is lifted up high
