As a teen, I bought a 1990 Celina and took it to a mechanic because it wouldn't pass inspections. He told me the bulb was missing, got it for cheap, and the guy had just put the wrong oil in it. The joke was on him.😅😅😅

Seller: “just needs a new transmission sensor” Buyer: drives it home, checks under the car for oil change. Buyer: finds out he drove home without the transmission so now he cant move the car

The best thing is to ask the seller if they mind if I could have my tech check it before I buy it. If they object, DON'T BUY IT

I was born and raised in Detroit decades ago and taught by my dad that a car is basically like a screwdriver- merely a tool one uses to go from point A to point B and back again. He taught me that if you cant pay cash for the car you want, then you cannot afford the car you want, it's that simple. You dont take out a loan to buy a screwdriver so why would you take out a loan to buy any other tool?

this happened to me. i had a scan tool, but a cheap one. it picked up no codes. 80 to 100 miles after bought, check engine light appears.

I'mnew to this, this has happened to me. I bought a car last October 2021. The car looked absolutely fine and had no check engine light but after driving for 3-4 days all of a sudden check engine light appeared. It's a minor issue but still, people can scam you and that's when I learned from my mistake. I wish i had seen your this video first..

Wow thanks scotty, nobody was expecting you to warn us about a bad diag tool

Scotty, another scam is when you go to the dealer or independent these auto warranty companies buy your info to sell you a policy for repairs they claim they cover. It is irritating that our info is sold without our permission. My vehicle is 13 years old yet they say they they cover the repairs. Still I tell them HOGWASH.

I bought a chevy truck with CEL disabled. Doesn't come on at all. There was a trouble code after i bought it and it was just an 80$ evap canister. Replaced it myself. I was disappointed at first but had no problems.

Another new good thing to know. Thank you Scotty. Now I I have something say to a seller when I wanna buy a used or a classic car

reminds me of the old volvos that had wiring harness issues, used to just take the lambda bulb out 😂

Thank you Scotty! 👍❤️

Scotty knows best.

Yep bought a car way over the price it was worth but the problems with it aren't huge and ain't nothing I can't do. So whatever I guess. We didn't have a check engine light and didn't for a few days. Then it popped on and it was a $2 hose and an abs module. Which are easy fixes. Had to get new breaks and front rotars and I'll need shocks and end tire rods in the front. But the car has 200,000 miles it's a Toyota and it still has many more miles to go. I know enough about cars to know the engine was well cared for. Also it came with new tires. transmission fluid was nice and red and drive well. Also no signs of bad head gasket. Which in this Toyota would be a job but easier than the Mazda we had before.

Bought an excursion because it was a excursion and me being dumb I didn’t even test drive it. I was so excited to have one that I just bought it on the first day. Well I brought it to the mechanic and found out it would cost me $4,000 to completely fix it up

Taking the bulb out for the check engine light is evil. Black tape is better.

I take a scanner and rely on kbb for value…being a female, dealers love to try ripping me off…got my current vehicle dropped from $5000 to $3000..then another $500 off for paying in full without a loan lol….never put ur faith in the dealer telling the truth and giving u an actual deal…with the exception of a local dealer who is a genuinely nice guy…McCorkle motors in McCook Nebraska…Terry will put u in a good vehicle at a hell of a deal…u don’t find good people like him often

In early 80s Caddy V8-6-4 cars the dealers would take out the bulb because it would always come back on no matter what else was done to "fix" the car.

This man tells it how it is the truth and straight to the point

Bought mines with the bulb removed. Put that bad boy back in and shined for a good while before I fixed the issues.

YUP...REMOVE THAT BULB...SELL THAT PILE...THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT CHA CHING...DOLLARS...NOT YOU...OR THAT AUTO LOOKING SO NICE UNDER ALL THOSE LIGHTS...GOOD HEADS UP VIDEO BROTHER!!!

The other problem with cleared codes is that it stops throwing codes once you get the misfire, fuel, and sensor position codes. You could have EGR and Evap codes waiting to fail once the other problems are solved. That's why you can't give a definite price to keep the check engine light off.

You just told them everything I do lolol

Scotty, dammit you gave it away! 🤬

Scotty I'm going to look at a "99 honda crv 2.0" is that a good suv.... it has 89,000 miles

Hey Scotty love your videos! I watch all the time :) In my 07’ Toyota, I am aware of the burning oil issue, I have noticed about 1 qt between every 3000 miles (when I get the oil changed) Would you consider the engine worn, or simply the piston and piston ring issue is the only cause? 111K miles. How long in your opinion would perfect maintenance allow the Camry to last? Also, my check engine light came on for the catalytic converter. Would this be because of the engine burning oil? I live in Kentucky so it’s not required I fix it, but I sure hate seeing that light on :) Thank you for reading and helping! Stay strong safe and healthy!

@Mr371312

Common issue, loose piston tolerance from Factory. If you want to Stop oil burning you need new piston rings. And the oil burning then contributed to the cat getting clogged.

Always run a smog check first...fastest way to see if they disconnected the battery to wipe the codes.

My wife purchased a Corrola the seller put a peice of tape over the check engine light. Toyota wanted $4000 to replace the whole dash. So I went to another place and they just removed the tape for $80 and I bought a cat at a muffelr shop for $300

I just bought a scanner---Innova 5610. The companies vary on updates. Some are free, and some scan tool firms charge for updates. Hopefully my vehicles will live a few more years, so I won't need updates. (I wish we could buy new '65s---No computers to go haywire or bags, just nice reliable seat belts).

It's just the airbug light on, no problem, buy it😂

I bought my mustang from a mechanic and after only driving 70 miles a check engine light came on and it was for an evap leak and luckily I knew not to take it back to the mechanic. I’m 99% sure he reset the code and gave me a good deal on the car so that I would bring it back to him

The problem code got me. I had to pay for a new catt and flux pipe
