Thank you for these buying/inspection videos dude. Really helped me buying a used car.

BB****:

I was inspecting a used car and took it for a test drive. Opened the door and started the car. Drove excellent!

After spending a night in jail I realized the car wasn't for sale and I didn't even have a key!

ar*******:

- Check the tires for uneven wear and cuts/ bulges... Uneven wear suggests problems with alignment or the suspension

mc*******:

The car may still been abused to death without oil changes etc. No way of knowing for sure. Avoid sort term and lots of previous owners and get receipts for all parts and servicing.

Sa****:

Awesome video, Chris! Thanks for the tips! :D

Jo********:

Love your vids. One thing I want to add though when buying a used car from a private party: MAKE SURE THE TITLING IS IN ORDER. You can find a car that's a deal of the century, but if something prevents you from titling (and subsequently registering) the car in your name, you're seriously screwed. You want to make sure the person selling the car actually has the right to sell the car (ie, their name is on the title), and you want to make sure things like the VIN are 100% correct (even if two characters are transposed, the DMV is likely to reject the title). The first thing though is by far the most important because you can fix the second thing with the previous owner's help.

The problem is though that a number of privately sold cars in the used market are being sold by flippers, and to save (substantial) money on titling and sales tax, they'll leave the "Buyer" field on the transfer of title section blank when they buy the car and just never title the car in their name. Then when they sell the car to you, you can put yourself down as the "Buyer". No problems as long as you don't need a new title for whatever reason (VIN error, cross-out on title transfer, previous owner printed out their married name in the title transfer section when the title is in their maiden name, previous owner signed their name "Jim" when the title says "James", dog ate it, etc), but good luck tracking down the person the flipper originally bought the car from (and that's assuming the flipper didn't buy the car from another flipper).

You also have to be careful of titles with multiple owners, even if the seller is one of them. Make sure all listed owners are around and will help you should you need a new title or some other DMV issue comes up with getting the new-to-you car in your name. Last thing you want to deal with is buying a jointly-owned car from a disgruntled spouse going through a divorce, or buying a jointly-owned car from a son whose dad passed away but the son doesn't have any power of attorney documents.

Also, understand that some states actually have two-part titles: a "liened" title that the DMV sends to the buyer financing the car and a lien release document that the DMV sends to the bank. Once the buyer pays off the car, the bank sends them the lien release. The first part is absolutely USELESS without the second part, and A LOT of people who live in two-part title states don't even realize this (and wind up losing the lien release). So if you're buying a car from a two-part title state, make sure you have both parts OR that the title doesn't have a lien holder listed on it. Unless you're really, really incredibly lucky, a bank will only send a lien release to the person listed on the title/lien release. I've even seen situations where a bank that was listed as lien holder on a title hadn't been in business for years, and that's always an insane (and sometimes insurmountable, actually) obstacle to deal with.

Finally, be careful of dealers posing as private sellers. I've seen schemes where they'll put the dealership's name as "Buyer" on the title and then give you a dealer re-assignment form (or just fill out the dealer re-assignment section on the title) with you as the transferee. The seller will swear up and down that this is fine, that they've done it in the past, and that it's completely legit, but unless you're also a dealer, it absolutely won't work. So once the DMV rejects your title application because of this, you'll be forced to go through the dealership to get the titling done, at which point they'll likely slam you with several hundred dollars (possibly up to a thousand) in various doc and processing fees. They know your only two options at that point is to pay up or spend even more money suing them.

Really, the best way to protect yourself from all of this kind of stuff is to just go to the DMV with the seller and get the title transfer done before keys exchange hands.

St************:

Should have mentioned body panel alignment and gaps, paint tone consistency, wear on seats and steering wheel

Ca************:

Gosh I wish I saw this video when I bought my first car

st*******:

god bless you . you help alot

Wi******:

Yeah, the jaguar may be 3 grand, but pretty soon something will go wrong and it will cost THOUSANDS to repair. It's not a reliable car at all. That's why a 1999 Camry with over 200k miles is worth more than an 04 Jag...

We************:

What happened to the video about asking questions and test drive.

Gi**********:

I always check body panel spacing, can quickly show if the car has been in an accident and hasnt been repaired correctly

Si***:

08.43 Allways check if the tire has worn evenly. This could mean that the wheel is not straight on the car and so on..

iz**:

+ChrisFix .... you missed a big point with the body inspection. Always check the gaps between the hood, fenders, doors, and trunk to make sure that they align properly and there is an even gap between them. I walk away as soon I see that one of these gaps is wrong. At this point you know the part has been removed, for what reason, who knows, but I don't care to find out.

sa******:

another important check to do before buying a new car: check that there are no dead bodies in the boot of the car..

ro******:

Here's another great tip... when taking a look at a Jaguar X-Type, turn the other way and run.

To******:

No reason to inspect a Jag. Unless you are an electronic engineer well versed in automobile wiring & computers and, need something to do every Sat & Sun for the rest of your life.

A*:

Very useful, really interested in the call and test drive video

el**************:

When I bought and sold vehicles I would open the drivers door all the way then lift up on the door to check for play in the hinge. If there was play, and the mileage was low, I would suspect a rolled back odometer. Also look for excessive wear on the brake pedal/gas pedal. It is a very good idea to measure the paint thickness on the vehicle to see if any body work was done. Pull out the dipstick on the transmission and smell the fluid to see if it is burned. A compression test is very useful as well. Never buy used cars that young males owned. I preferred buying cars from older people, they are much more likely to service the vehicle. Younger people abuse vehicles.
