Thank you so.much for such an INFORMATIVE video!! Videos like yours helped me to be a more confident & wise car shopper. I'm in the southern part of the U.S & currently shopping for a used Highlander. I found a '16 Highlander with 87k miles at a Toyota dealer with the upgrades that I wanted. After I decided to walk away from the deal (because they kept changing the interest rates/monthly payment over 2 days of going there), miraculously they decided to sell me the car for $20k from $26k msrp with $0 down. I even got them to take off $998 that they claimed was to "recover" the car if it were stolen!! Another "bogus" unpsell cost. I believe I did a great job as a female (this was my 2nd day going to the dealer) & my husband wasn't with me at this time I stood my ground & told them that I would go back to the drawing board. I knew that if they didn't come down in price, etc., then that was a sign to me from God that the car wasn't for me. And it worked in my favor!!🙏 The dealer is also doing a thorough pre-purchase detail & inspection of everything as required by the law where we are. In addition, I still plan on bringing the car to an outside mechanic to look over everything even after they are done! This is dealer that sells 800 vehicles/mth which is high, esp. in our current market. Yet, I was still able to get the price, etc. that was right for me! The lesson I learned here is to be willing to walk away from a car when you like the features, miles, etc., when you believe dealer is trying to mislead/manipulate you in anyway. This way, they'll know you are not a customer that is going to fall for prey to their deceptions. The right dealer & car will fall into place for "your" best interests as it did for me!!

One of the most important is never ever tell them you are paying cash wait until you have and agreement in writing. That is the more important then anything he said. The dealer get a big kick back of a loan and he will reduce the price a little more. So never say you are paying cash just wait until everything is in writing.

Could you do an episode on "Certified Used Cars"? Do they really do an inspection or is it just a marketing technique to charge more?

It's good when you get to the point quickly!

1.pre purchase inspection 2. Dont rely on Carfax/auto chex. Google the VIN to see if the car was damaged. 3. test drive the car. 4. dont pay too much. check price guidelines. 5. Dont pay an additional reconditioning fee

Ray # 5 before number one actually. When you do your DD check and see what goes wrong and at what mileage! Then ask your mechanic to see if they have been done! If not use the cost of the expected repairs to adjust your buying price. You can do this by simply going online or just ask the service or parts depts at a dealership, what goes wrong at x miles on x year vehicle!

What happens if the used car dealership says they *don't* allow offsite pre-purchase inspections? I'm running into this a lot!

Check that the year that's listed on the inside of the door frame is the same year that's on the title. I got burned. Bought a 2008 Toyota Scion that was really a 2006. Don't buy cars that were from out of state. You can end up buying a car that was rebuilt titled in Florida but that titled got "cleaned" once it was registered in KY. Not everyone who works in the clerks office is honest. Some take kickbacks from car dealers. Always meet in the clerks office when buying or selling a vehicle so that you know that the title has no liens or any other problems. Clerk's office is often in the same building as the sheriff's office, so it's a safe place to count and handle cash. Clerk's office will make sure that the buyer has the car insured in their name before the title is signed. This protects you from legal liability which would occur if you did the transaction outside on your own and the buyer drives without insurance and gets in a wreck, and also ensures that the vehicle is titled in their name; they can't cancel a check. It's their baby now if the car breaks down or gets in a wreck on their way home.

You're entitled to forgetting something. You have so much information it's understandable😁

Could you explain the “how” of getting an inspection before buying a used car? Would you be asking the owner to hand the car over to you while you take the vehicle to your mechanic? I wouldn’t do such a thing if I were selling a vehicle. I don’t understand the logistics of what you are recommending.

@jgrothou

That's what I have done. I get to the point where we've agreed on price then I tell them that, as a last step, I need to have my mechanic do a quick inspection. I've never had any sellers that had a problem with it but maybe that's because I buy my used cars from dealers.

Would love to see your guys' take on used car dealer "document fees". What exactly do they entail, why are they not simply rolled into the sticker price of the car, and what fees are legitimate versus bogus. Thanks!!

Good tips. And remembering three out four from memory is excellent. I think my limit is two on average.

Enjoying the videos. I do have a great idea for you for your future video. If you can discuss the hummer loophole and how businesses can take advantage of 6000lb vehicles and how tax deduction for it works. From what to expect and real world numbers, to equity savings in the long run. I find the topic very interesting and I doubt many know of it

Without question, the MOST important thing is a PRE-INSPECTION using an expensive Scan Tool. I have a very good friend, who is a Certified Mechanic. He uses one of these scanners all the time. He charges $150.00 to perform the scan. If, there are any problems he can print out the items with problems. Then, he can tell me what it will cost to perform the required maintenance. So, the buyer can then take this information to the Dealership as a bargaining tool. If, according to the scanner, the "codes" indicate you need a combined total of $500.00 in repairs, then bring this to the Dealership's Manager attention. Ask if he is willing to repair or reduce the cost. These inspections ALWAYS pay for themselves, trust me!

Ray, my last 3 cars have all been CPOs...is the inspection necessary with factory certified vehicles? Assuming you ask the right questions and get a Carfax at the time of purchase.

Talk about CarMax. I bought a car from them and so did my neighbor. Both of us have been very happy with our cars and thought the deal fair. They say they give all their cars a safety inspection and a 30 day guarantee.

Good Video! Suggestions are very focused approach to buying a car and should be done if really interested in less stress and problems down the road. Once you have settled on car and price the independent inspection is absolutely way to go unless you purchase a scan tool or have a friend that has one to help inspect car properly.

Good advice about googling the vin. Ive done that and was surprised how much a car was passed from one dealer to another.

That recon fee is the biggest scam !!!! Some dealerships tag that on to the pre-owned cars around here in Phoenix

Love the "look on a Google machine" quote.

seems like a lot of work & a ton of things to remember. I'll just date someone with car to drive me around or they may even let me borrow their car.

If the pre-owned vehicle is at a major dealership, has low miles & is still under it’s factory warranty, then I’d personally pass on a third party inspection. Major dealers have a reputation to protect, so all of the junk is typically just wholesaled out. The used cars you (might) want to avoid are the ones at corner-lot dealers w/multiple owners, expired warranties & high mileage. Those cars are typically there for a reason..... sometimes it’s okay to pay a little more for a better car. I’ve said this a million times, but the less miles the better when buying pre-owned.

I have used Lemon Squad a few times. Back a couple of years ago, they did the inspection and the report either the same day or maybe the next morning. Now they take the order one day, the next day is the inspection, then the next day you are waiting and waiting and waiting. Meanwhile the car you are hoping to buy is still on the market. Now I am at the end of the day at day 3 and still do not have a report. DO NOT USE LEMON SQUAD!!

I googled the vin # on a 1987 Grand National that I was interested in and I got a listing from a local auto trader in California. I’m in Illinois and the car was in California the car at 27,000 miles in the Auto trader which the listing had expired it and the person had it on eBay with 27,000 miles on odometer but it didn’t have an original speedometer /odometer it was a GNX performance speedometer/ odometer but the car was real clean no rust but that’s because it was a California car. I spent the money and did a Carfax report and it shows that the car had 173,000 miles on it. When I contacted the guy through eBay and told him it’s funny the same car was in the auto trader and on eBay with 27,000 miles but the Carfax shows it has 173,000, well long story short he never contacted me back, and he never sold the car on eBay either. For all I know this car could’ve went around to 227,000 miles with the car being 33 years old. Buyer beware of cars especially in California they don’t show their age from salt. If I would’ve bought that and found out afterwords the headache I would’ve subjected myself to, having to file a lawsuit with this guy to get my money back. And the guy was selling it “as is” another tip off .I’m glad I spent the money on the Carfax.

Should I be cautious if the vehicles cost is $3000 to $4,000 less than others of the same model, year and mileage? This vehicle I'm looking at has 32,000 miles with an accident report stating the vehicle got hit on the rear passenger side of the truck bed.

Zac please ask Ray to re count one time that the purchaser got the better of Ray when buying a car(new or used) and how he changed his approach after he realised that he had been taken, cheers Michael

related but unrelated. would you do a segment providing transferable advise for making a purchase from a private owner vs. a dealership or online repository. i mean frame it as "here's what you would do at a dealership but here's how yu could get the same result since that may not work thru a private owner," that type of advise. with so many rentals hitting the market soon, people -- like myself -- are already including private owners as a purchase option. what are some do's and don'ts to consider (where possible)?

Great video but in regards to #4, how does one negotiate that fee away? In my area, there's only 2 dealerships that do not charge a dealer fee. (Of course, then they refuse to negotiate the vehicle price!) Every other dealer charges between $700-1000 in dealer fees & some have the nerve to also charge admin/paperwork fees of $200-300 on top of that. Pure rip-off profit by the dealers! Me, I've pretty much given up fighting those fees w/them and simply negotiate 'out-the door' prices. Doesn't solve the matter but makes me feel better about it all. I'm used-car shopping for my daughter right now so whatever advice you have to offer is appreciated.

Great information and thanks guys for keeping your videos interesting.

What is a reconditioning fee? I would like to know specifically what that fee is about ?

What if you dont have an actual “independent mechanic” but have a trusted Shop that have you built an relationship with , do the pre inspection on the car ?

Ray do a video on the test ride and to do and look for when buying a used car! Private sale buyers this might be a real helpful video!

The first you should not do is stand in front of Buicks. Just ask Scotty Kilmer why.

I can take a vehicle to my trusted mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection but only if the dealer allows it. Do you know of a dealer who allows you to take a vehicle off their lot? I don't. It only works if your mechanic can travel to the dealer's lot and not many will do this because it takes them away from their shop with their lift and tools. I guess the solution is to find someone with a mobile service that will do this.

@@lrac88510 I agree. My private owner purchases have been a great way to save money and an inspection from a trusted mechanic is a must. Like Ray mentioned, the only downside is any vehicle can have problems after purchasing it even if an inspection is done and it passes per your mechanic. If these problems happen on a vehicle purchased from a dealer, then you have the dealer to contact for help/recourse, plus they usually have a limited warranty like 30 day/1,000 mile warranty. With a private party, you are usually on your own and it's typically an as-is sale but can be worth the risk in the end. Take care!

Some of these “don’t do” items are grossly impractical. Getting the vehicle checked out by a mechanic before you buy. For this one to be even remotely feasible, the mechanic would have to be geographically near the seller’s location, and the mechanic would have to have a time slot available, at the buyer’s convenience, to inspect the vehicle. Also, what dealership (or private seller) is going to hand over the keys to a prospective buyer while the prospective buyer takes the vehicle “wherever” to be inspected? People simply don’t behave this way. The same applies to the idea that a good friend would be permitted to act as a proxy of some sort to test drive a vehicle that I might buy.

The mechanic I trust doesn't do inspecting the car for people. The "pre buying car inspection" business, that has mix google reviews (some good, some bad) charges high price and mileages. I don't know how to test drive with something like people use to say, feel the struts, go fast on highway (highways in my city used to have back up traffic)..like people say and can't find anybody to do it for me.

NO dealer wants a 90 day aged vehicle on there lot so if there sre year old plus models on there lot there going to provide all possible rebates and incentives instantly. NEW car dealerships hate the NEW car sales departments and the people selling for them aren't the reason. The painful truth is all new car sales reps dont care for lying back stabbing customers.

Thanks guys I really needed this advice!🙂

First off if you are buying a used vehicle from a dealers lot you are protected already for a short period of time and milage. Secondly if you are buying CPO vehicle from a dealers lot you are golden in your protection from future issues for at least a year or 12.5K. So why pay for a vehicle inspection??

What if the car is in another state...and u don't have no one to test drive it.???

I once asked a salesman if i could scan the car prior to test driving it with my scan tool. He was clueless. Had to explain what I meant. Then he went to talk to his manager. A few minutes later here comes their mechanic with their scan tool. As expected no codes were detected. Parked in a gas station during the test drive, connected my scan tool. Yes there were no current codes however scan tool says "RUN TIME SINCE TROUBLE CODES CLEARED = 6 HOURS +MINUTES +SECONDS". Came back to the dealer and told them i'm not feeling the car. Didn't bother to find out what the code was. I'm not taking a risk.

When we looked at the car it clearly had a significant amount of body work all around the car and the grill/front bumper had zip ties. Wow! For grins we drove it around the parking lot and it was even worse. We went to the manager and expressed our disappointment they would even allow this car on their lot. I had previously thought this dealer was ok. Be warned. Great info and appreciate your perspective. Currently in the market for a used car for youngest kid.

What did the manager say ?

I wish this video would have came out last week. I just bought one on saturday. 2019 camry with 19k miles. I assumed the car would be be covered under manufacturer warranty. Am i mistaken?

Edwin, it should indeed still be under factory warranty. Stay safe, Ray

If I’m buying a CPO with warranty do I not a mechanic to look at it.

I love when ppl always say have your mechanic check it out. What is this mechanic that I have. They all charge to much to even talk to and I would have to make a appointment.

Either know how to inspect a car, or pay for someone who knows how to. Try and bring a friend or family member that knows how to.
