Here's how you buys a used car from a dealer. Pick a model ahead of time. be prepared to pay cash. Research it. Get a good idea of the fair market value. Wait til the end of the month. Go check the car out, look under it for leaks, hook a scanner to it, test drive the hell out of it. Make a fair offer. If he says "no deal," walk, there lots of metal out there for sale.

here's what I find frustrating, people always say determine the "fair market value" but rarely explain exactly what that means and how you determine it. Is it trade-in value, wholesale value, average retail value, etc. And which car site should people rely on, KBB, Edmunds, NADA, etc.? None of the sites are consistent with their figures. I assume KBB is the worst because that's the one the car industry quote the most, so I figured it's slanted towards favoring the dealerships. That is the big missing piece of the puzzle that puts the consumer at a disadvantage, how to you get a reliable dollar figure on a car's "fair market value?" Personally, I've take the trade-in value from Edmunds and the wholesale value from www.vmrintl.com/ and get an average and use that in my mind to determine what is car is "worth" and use it as a benchmark to analyze the type of deal I'm getting. I have no idea if what I'm doing makes sense but it's hard to get anyone from the industry to share a better way.

@Nathan B Think about it this way. Instead of paying an interest bearing loan on a depreciating "asset" (cars are liabilities in real terms), make that car payment into an investment account for 5-7 years while you drive your current, debt-free vehicle. At the end of the term, you have the ability to pay cash for a car while putting less into it due to compounding interest. The more income you have, the more you can put into that account, and the more car you can afford. Rinse and repeat. This is a basic description, as many "wealthy" people have more complex investment strategies than a car-specific investment account, but it sheds light on how people can afford to pay cash for a car. Never borrow money for a liability. Borrow money for income creating assets (property, investments, etc.) which amplify your purchasing power. Money 101. If you truly make $80k a year in a local economy where the baseline is $40k, you should have zero problem making this happen. You just have to be willing to suffer with your existing car for an extended period to get it started. Ego vs. goals.

I make half your salary but could easily pay 10k cash for a used car tomorrow if needed and it wouldn't significantly deplete my savings. 7K is more than enough to buy a dependable used car. I would recommend a used Lexus ES, somewhere between 2006 and 2009. These cars are built in Japan at a time when Lexus had a very high standards of quality control. These cars easily go 250,000 to 350,000 trouble free miles.

A week ago i was looking at a 2017 toyota Corolla now i have rethink and do some research thanks for the valuable information 👍

I remember when I first started to finance was to help build credit. Biggest thing is the first time buyer and you get hit with that big interest especially if your credit is not that great. I knew that but researched the cars value and got it down to the price I wanted. Traded it in 6 mos later and cut that interest down a ton and dumped the negative equity as well. Plus credit went up and got something even cheaper and less on interest as well. Vehicle is a vehicle but credit is lke your financial report card.

I bought my 2006 Honda Ridgeline in 2017 for $200 above KBB value. It had 1 previous owner and they took very good care of it. The interior is mint, paint and body is immaculate, fully loaded with all the OEM bells and whistles. Never smoked in or abused for racing/off roading. It was also pampered at the dealership its whole life which is why I didn’t mind it having 160K miles on it. She still runs like new til this day

I had an interesting sale, but it ended up well. 2013 Fusion SE with luxury package for 22900 CAD and 11000 km. Both keys included. New value was 36000. Dealer owned, registered as a rental to get it from Newfoundland to Ontario and driven by the used car dealer. Had bumper damaged at 110km while at the dealership and it was repaired. Definitely regret buying the rust proof package, but all else really happy. Approaching 100000 km and no major problems.

If you're buying used then go with a certified preowned and check what's been done in the certification pack. This is coming from a salesman who sells certified preowned and other preowned vehicles. I make sure everything is done the first time, so my customer is happy!

Great video. I would add that no matter what you buy you should always walk out of the dealership. ALWAYS! Part of their game is to keep you waiting and take advantage of your lack of patience. 6-7 hours at a dealership and you will sign anything just to get out. It will also give you time to think things over and do more research. You won't see a dealers bottom offer on a vehicle until they think they'll lose the sale. It's also possible you could lose out on a car you really wanted but in the end it is worth it.

It's a 2018 Honda Civic LX Coupe and it had around 55000km on it when I bought it. I looked at the other Coupe models and I actually got one of the cheapest ones. I think with the taxes and fees, the car was something like 22000$. I pay less than 200$ every two weeks for the car and within a few years, I'll have the car paid off. Easy on gas, tons of great features, reliable, easy to drive, etc. It's actually my second car and the first car I've bought from a dealership.

I have sold used cars for a long time. I let people walk over our Doc Fee everyday. Also we don’t get to fix our cars at “dealer cost” sales is charged full price for anything done by the dealer and at other dealers that cost is actually marked up for the owners to show higher profits in the service department. Dents and scratches are taken care of by outside vendors and that cost is also marked up by the dealer. There is very little mark up in used cars so 9 times out 10 the best price is listed online. Don’t waste your time trying any of these tactics because you will see the business is changing. It is not in our best interest to sell you a car and not make some type of profit.

2:22 Kelly bluebook should be a no go for anyone as their own prices are inflated (because surprise surprise) they are owned by an automotive group named "Cox automotive/enterprises" which means, odds are they have financial incentive to inflate prices, More than likely they have their hands in everyones cookie jar.

5:24 thus proving if you never found the cigarette but you would have never known. Because there isn't any difference if someone did or didn't smoke in the vehicle especially with such little mileage, and once it has been detailed. Thanks for proving that.

Nice video. I would only add to go to your local credit union or your bank for financing first. You can always have the dealership try to beat their best rates.

Thank you bro

Thanks for this, I like the breakdown. Realizing at 35 that I'm sick of having a babysitter come with me to accompany me to mechanics and to buy cars, etc. I believe people have too good of intentions too often & end up paying for it. Make a role play video, LOL.... I definitely find someone to role play whatever challenge I need to do on my own to get my confidence up!

Great content and easy to understand!

If the only hint that the vehicle was smoked in, is finding a cigarette 4 months later, i would consider that Not smoked in.

Exactly! the whole offense to the smoking is burn spots and a lingering smell. if you don't have either there's nothing to be upset over.

WIZARDIRL yeah but he was upset because the dealer lied to him saying it wasn't smoked in when it was in fact smoked in

I’ve had two cars that had previously been smoked in in the past, and the scent completely disappeared within 2 months both times. In one of the cars, I could sometimes faintly smell it when I ran the ac, but it never really bothered me

I bought a 2000 Toyota Avalon which was driven 216,000 miles and I've been using it for 2 years. Best car purchase that I've made and I've spent about $500 in repairs but it's still worth considering the price I paid. I even like it better than 2018 Avalon that my brother owns.

Whole lot of info J. However valuable information. Thanks

Awesome photo the classic bmw at the start of your video 👍👍👍

So happy to have found your videos! Bought my first car from carmax with no credit history and was in a situation where I needed the car literally that month. Paying insane %13.45 interest on a 2008 impala that has nickle and dimed me after a year of driving it. A little bit past halfway into my financing contract and now with a good credit score and some money down I’m looking to trade in for a 2016/2017 civic. Unfortunately, many of us are in situations where we have to take that first very shitty deal. However, we learn and get ourselves to a place where our second purchase is much better deal. Hoping to have my second car within the next few months! Thank you for the videos, so much great advice that can be useful to every customer, whether new or seasoned.

Sierra Lambrini this happened to me. Wasn’t smart and drove off the lot with a bad transmission! Crazy interest and high Apr rate. Way more knowledgeable now

The picture of the car on fire made me not want to get a used car anymore 😂😂

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Great tips this is going to help a lot

Don't dream about revving that car engine you're about to buy, you have to revv up those credit scores first!

Luckily my cousin sells cars and only sells quality. It has been nice being able to show up, test drive, and leave with a decent vehicle that lasts me years. Only lemon was a Saturn vue... Never buy a Saturn lol. It is unfortunate though many dealers are selling vehicles that they know have problems but they try to hide them.

It’s always good to have someone in the family

I usually buy cars about 12 to 15 years old usually Toyotas, Lexus or Scions where the cars can get well over 200,000 miles or more for the life the engine and transmission and have timing chains or mesh gears for timing. I look for cars that have around 100,000 to 120,000 miles on them. I pay cash they are affordable usually in the 2500.00 to 6500.00 range in US dollars. These cars are in pretty good condition. I put bare bones insurance on them and if they get wrecked, I can get another one pretty cheap. When at dealer I usually offer to pay about 1/3 the price of the car and will settle if really want the car at 1/2 or 2/3 the cost of the car. Usually if your Used Car Dealer has brains (and they do) they will buy the car as cheap as the can and usually raise the price of the car three time the cost of the car. Then there are those other dealership that only have one price. I don't care for them they do have fair prices but I really like dickering back and forth over the price of a car. For me it is the fun part of buying a car.

Hey Mike. I'm driving a 2001 Rav4 with 233,000 miles on it. Started having transmission problems and had a retired Toyota mechanic look at it. Turns out it was only the trans computer that wasn't working right, but the trans hadn't been damaged yet. He sent it out to be refurbished, but they didn't fix it correctly, so he found one in a junk yard in Ohio and swapped it out, and now she's running great again. The #1 problem with the 2001 is transmission issues. I wanted to get 300,000 miles out of her, but nervous, waiting for something to happen. Some videos say not to wait for your car to die, but how do you know how long you've got? It's like timing the stock market. I like the idea of getting a less old model such as 6-7 years old, and they are out there, but I don't want to spend the money this year. I wonder if a dealership or used lot would let me drive it to my mechanic to look at it. I'm not really asking you a question, just commenting.

@@AgendaInMind That is pretty good mileage you got out of the RAV4. 19 years ago I had a Sonoma with a manual transmission the technology was new at the time for computerizing automatic transmission I look for a simple vehicle with a manual transmission back then and waited for the industry to perfect the automatic transmission. Research the market and see which models of car you are looking for has any faults or recalls for years you want. There are plenty of website you can find if you do a search. I believe the dual clutch transmission is something you would want to stay away from the industry is still having a lot of problems with this type of transmission. Good luck with your RAV4, and hope you get a good one when the time comes.
