I’m sorry but that car should have been sent to the junkyard. That car would have failed NYSI.

Mike , to be honest with you I would never even try to sell that car with that rust on it straight to auction not worth the headaches

Wait, I missed the rusty car video. You sold that rusty Equinox to somebody for $4k🤣. That should have been parted out.

A big hello from a small town Thurles in Ireland 🇮🇪

Wow... you sell some used junk cars. If they have problems, dump them at auction. The body rusted car is not cosmetic and should have been totaled for scrap.

Welp bud....Look at that wall behind you. Obviously your a super car salesman because every one of those signature on the wall is a success story and those hundreds of signature outweigh the few bad experiences TEN fold. I mean....you started your own business from scratch not even two years ago. Your doing great!!

Have looked at several different dealers and found The Dude through my brother in law. I will not go to any other car dealer other than The Dude's. He has a customer for life. He is absolutely amazing and Grant is as well. Keep up what you guys are doing.

As a small business owner myself Peeples sense of entitlement frequently horrifies me. It is shocking how seemingly good people turn evil on a dime. You are doing the right things and you cannot control the evil of others. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.

You cannot honestly hold your head high with full knowledge of how bad the rust was on that vehicle. It should never of been sold onto another client.

It’s a small percentage though. You’re doing great and be happy for the positive business you have.👍

I’m with you. I sell used cars too and there’s always that something unexpected that happens and no matter how well you perform the inspections and drive them. It’s always something later down the road when the buyer shows up or recently leaves and experiences a problem.

Awesome job my friend.

Your wall is getting really full. Looks like things are going pretty good.

To be fair...I've heard about brand new cars having catastrophic failures after delivery. Of course, you have warranty support at that point. I worked for a rental car agency and one of our new cars...literally out for its first rental had an engine failure and had to be towed back to the rental agency.

Joys and fun of being a salesperson. Chalk those bad days up as experience. If you have times like those then other dealerships will be getting the same hassles.

I personally wouldn't sell a car with that level of rust. It may be satisfactorily safe, but I believe I would send it to auction, and let someone else deal with it. It's not a good perception, imo.

I would probably sell it at an auction, too, just because I know how people are. They can sign every acknowledgement imaginable and you can be 100% honest and they will still 9 out of 10 eventually come back and complain about it.

I bought an '11 Chev Traverse with 126k on the clock. BUT!!! I spent the time to crawl over and under it, checking everything I could. It had the timing chain tensioners done already. Car was clean, straight, drove and stopped well. After about 6 months, steering rack started to leak. Pulled it and had it rebuilt, put it back in and was good to go. My point is, I knew I was buying used so I knew I was taking a chance. But this car was LOVED by the previous owner and it showed!! THAT is what I look for in a car, did the other guy love this car?? That tells me a bunch about how it was cared for. I still have it, had to do a few other things to it but what a strong, nice driving vehicle!! Got almost 149k on it now, needs nothing. Point is, ALWAYS look for the love!!

Love your videos! (Tami F., your fan from Columbus, Indiana.)

Love your channel, I wished I lived a little closer to you, I'm about an hour and a half away, I would love to come help you sell vehicles. for 24 years I owned a small car lot in Michigan, outside of my full time firefighter job, I ran my lot exactly like you're doing. Had some minor issues like you have had, I hated letting people down, I would tell people its a piece on machinery put together with parts from hundreds of suppliers, and its driven up and down the road, things are going to wear out. After a few years I started buying off lease trucks and SUV's with factory bumper to bumper warranties. Life was so much better after that, if there was ever a problem (very rare) the customer just took it into the dealer for the warranty work. life was great!!

It’s amazing how many scammers are out there

As a service advisor for almost 20 yrs at dealerships one thing I learned is there is such a difference between new(used) and old (used ) just two different class of people. Kudos for you trying to branch out on your own. Best to stick with low milage 5yrs old or newer. Less customer problems. Good luck!

Buyer's remorse plus a dealer telling them the car is not safe to drive coming back frustrated/scared is not really surprising.......but like a lot of people who appear dedicated to their goals, failures leave a stronger legacy than successes.......

That’s why I prefer new over used. I totally know that you’re a honest person and want to make people happy with a used car sale. Even though you have done your best to make everything work on the vehicles. But buying a used vehicle is just that. It’s used and something can and quite possibly will go wrong. I wanted to buy a vehicle from you but I prefer new cars. Plus you didn’t have what I was looking for. Heck, the Cadillac dealerships didn’t have any in stock. So I bought the only used one they had. Month later, I’m in/out of the service center for weeks getting an engine light fixed and still getting a shuttering fixed in the transmission. Am I mad at the dealership…no. I bought it fuller knowing that something might come up. They are doing their best to fix the problem. You just keep doing what you are doing. You’re a good person and we need more people like you.

I bought a brand new 2022 Colorado with 4 miles. That thing had a shudder from 1st to 2nd gear when cold. After warmup, it was fine & dealer said it was normal. The A/C compressor sounded like it would explode at any moment... And again, dealer said it was normal. I did not have a good experience with GM & needless to say, I traded it for another Ford. No more GM for me.

Thank you for your videos. I have a question for you. I am in the market for a now car and desire to buy a Chevrolet compact car. Do you have any suggestions as to what to purchase in the 2022 and newer models?

I like how you have explained the low percentage of bad things that could come with a used car.

Compared to the quality of new cars it can't be much worse.

Someone who has just bought a car will never believe it but sometimes used cars just mess up the first time right after the sell. I sold a buick one time. I had been usi g it as a peraonal car and put around 10k miles on it in the 6-9 months before i sold it. In fact, the guy was waiting for me at the lot to look at a different car when I drove up in it. It never had any mechanical issues in the time i drove it. However, the transmission went out a week after he bought it. I made it right but people are going to believe you knew it was bad when you sold it more often than not even though you had no idea.

You said it had slight rust when they traded it in, no, it was rusted junk, the Chevy dealer was right it was a dangerous vehicle especially if it was ever hit, it would of crumbled like burnt toast.

Gmc 460 trannies are very common for going. Just did mine in my 08 sierra. Got off lucky knowing people at the transmission shop and a good mechanic and allin it only cost me 2450 canadian

Where I live the police in cooperation with the highway traffic safety board do road side spot checks for road worthiness. I can honestly say that Eqinox would be taken off the road if it was stopped at a spot check. You would be given an order to repair it within a specified time and it would have to be inspected to be insured again. My friend had a chevy truck with a very small amount of rust on the cab corner and he got a must repair notice. It's different regulations in different locations. I would never take another car like that on trade.

You had 1000 Corvette on order, but you wanted your own dealership!! Welcome to the real world of a small used car dealership sales. If you try for the brass ring, you take the risks and headaches!!

Should never have sold the Nox. Sone cars are just not worth the money.

Back in 2020 in the beginning I had to get a new car because my 2001 Hyundai accent trans was going. So my dad and I went to a Toyota dealership and we got a pre-owned certified 2017 Toyota Yaris IA. My dad wouldn’t get no vehicle unless it was under warranty. Also I got the vehicle at 35 thousand miles, 20 thousand miles later my car needed a new transmission. Thankfully we had the warranty because they replaced it and all I had to pay was $100 deductible.

Aura is great…they also have software for computers as well, VPN and AV.

Here In England that car is dangerous on the road man

You know your cars and run a well established reputable business. I may use your dealership when I purchase my next SUV. Will need it shipped though.

States should simply require all used cars be sold with a 3 month/3,000 mile engine and power train warranty the all these mechanical returns would be solved. As for body issues like rust I don't know what more Chevy Dude could have done. Not selling anything like that in the future would be wise. It tarnishes your reputation.

I would never buy a Chevy Equinox. Yes, I like the vehicle. I used to work at Disneyworld and Chevrolet is a sponsor. All our fleet vehicles were Chevrolet. Every year , the engines had to be replaced because we drove a lot. When travel, I prefer to drive cross country. I can't afford a new engine every year. I prefer the older trucks. Both Ford & Chevrolet. Back when vehicles were made to last, and one just replaced a part and the vehicle was good to go. 😊 😮

The Equinox wasn’t a Canadian issue. There was a massive recall on the 2012 models (I had that year) and maybe more, to fix a knowing issues with the possible of rust on the doors due to poor welds. I had mine fixed and no issues, my guess was the owners of the one you took on trade never had the recall work performed.

Didn't the Chevy dealer sell cars CPO? Maybe start including warranties on some cars in the price. Trial basis would be a good start.

I was the opposite, was a Honda guy and I still like them but my GM has held up so, so much better despite twice the mileage. I did get a 2015 Camry and a 2022 Tacoma and I was extremely disappointed with both of them. Easily the worst vehicles I ever had.

Would it be accurate to assume that a used car at a dealership is generally of lower quality than a used car at an independent store like yourself? I'm curious if dealerships are more picky/take less risk... or if they are just better at hiding flaws.
