tips: 1) run a vin check/carfax 2) ask questions (in description) 3) test drive in a variety of conditions 4) inspect the vehicle 5) take your time still watch the video though, very through insight.
@@peterk6674 Don't bother meeting him. there should be 0 reason a seller won't share a VIN. You can find a VIN of ANY car by a license plate - its not secret.

Yup. Always tell them you want to take it to an independent trusted mechanic for a used car inspection. Honest dealers shouldn't have a problem with it. If something comes back as needing fixing, you can ask them to take that money off the sales price.
My dad is a G at buying used cars and I grew up thinking that was the only way to do things lol I can’t comprehend buying a new car. My car currently- used from a private seller. Great tips. He for sure would agree with all of these.
Its always nice when other's are willing to help with the car buying processed. There's a lot to know and I was always grateful when I was younger to have help from others so I thought making this video may help others out there
I tell my students all the time that at a young age, new cars are some of the worst investments you can purchase because they depreciate so quickly. Once you drive it off the lot, you lose a lot of value. Inspections and test drives are crucial (car fax as well). Another interesting video. Thank you!
New Cars are always a worst investment, you literally gain nothing for decades. I ride an E-Bike to work. The bike was $900, the transit system would cost me $110 a month. That means in about 8.2 months my bike begins to save me money every single time I use it vs transit because now the cost of the bike is justified. If I ride the bike for another 2 years, I saved $2,640. vs Transit. If I walk to work, although it takes me 50 mins vs the bike's 16-22 mins, I pay nothing, I simply gain every single time I walk. If I walk for 3 years I gain $3960 in my pocket vs the bike. If I buy a used car that will last me 5-8 years with minimum up keep for around $2,500 same as with the bike, I have to wait a certain time frame until I gain from it. That time frame vs the metro is 22 months until I gain, a little more due to gas. That means after 2 years every time I drive my car vs the metro I save money. Now try that calculation with a car that cost $25,000 brand new. You literally NEVER gain from it. I refuse to by a new car until I make so much money that analysis is irrelevant to me. But as of right now, I'm NEVER getting a brand new car. Even when I hit my first goal of $100,000 a year, I'm buying a FJ Cruiser used and riding that out. But my first car right now, I'm going cheap. I'm more than halfway to my financial goal. People are just scared of buying a car from a Private seller because the car lots and things make it seem like they are the authority in the car market and that you SHOULDN'T go to a private seller. I know there's risk, but with basic knowledge and being smart about it, paying $3000 for a used car from a person vs $8000 for the same car for a lot makes way more sense. What doesn't make sense is paying $18,000, $25,000, $40,000, $60,000 for whatever car, never gaining back from it when most average folks don't even have a salary that justifies that purchase. They think "Oh I have good credit, so I pay $200 a month for my car so I'm good" But their salary is $50,000 a year, that's a stupid investment to me when a car is that much of your salary. I wouldn't even by a $50,000 car with a $120,000 salary, that's too much. God forbid you get hurt or sick or such and have that cost hanging over your head, it's a risk. People have no problem seeing low cost used cars from a seller as a risk, YET they don't see high cost new cars from a dealer as a risk? make it make sense. Life is not perfect and things ALWAYS happen, therefor any huge cost that lingers is a risk to you which includes your house, your car, outstanding debts like credit cards. Having huge cost lingering long term is more of a risk than a cheap car from a private seller, so ask yourself why you're scared of THAT more than what I said.
Better off buying certain older used cars like I did : 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 cabrio with 32k miles, paid $18000 and sold it 2 years later for $24k . Bought a 94 mini cooper for $16k,kept it a year and sold it on BAT for $22k. Bought a 64 caddy for $16k ,kept it a year and sold it for $16.500. Bought a 17 Dodge challenger 16 months ago for $30k all in at a dealer and sold it for $23k yesterday so that wasn't profitable and my last new car purchase where I'm taking a bath.
@@tommak6516 rather buy used. You could literally get a vehicle with less than 100miles as long as it's more than 0 and will it sell for way less than a new car. So yeah rather buy used
@@tommak6516 I told myself that but circumstances change and a new car loses value very fast. With a lien it’s hard to get rid of and assurances are not always there. Personal experience I had the transmission go out on a 2 year old car I bought new followed by several wheel bearings before I sold it for under kbb after an error popped up that could have been the onboard computer. Pandemic saved me because I managed to sell that car with rolled over debt a couple years later for about the same I paid for it.
Great video, thank you. After watching this, I've gone from fearing the process to actually imagining that I could make buying a used car a financially wise decision.
I like the idea of asking questions and not being afraid to ask questions - especially by having them see you as a person so you can understand any issues that you get into. I really like the way you do your descriptions! They have so much value (same as the video). It's a great way when let's say I was going to buy a car that I could refer to the description to see those questions. These are great tips! I really like the way you talk about these topics. You really add a more people feel to it so if feels like a friend is giving me this advice. It really feels like a fireside chat.
Crazy thing is, a lot of used car dealerships will pose as a private seller and try to sell the car that way. I'm sure you still got a better deal than buying new!
Great tips here. It's true that many factors come into play, when you buy a car. For us, the most important thing is trust: whether you buy from a friend or from a dealership. Then you still need to do the regular 'work' (Carfax, etc.) Thanks for sharing. - ✨ *Your Awesome Friends at The S'witty Kiwi Show* 🧡
LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!!!!! Tips on TIPS on TIPS!!! I actually got a car that was totaled but I did it on purpose, got a 2017 Honda Accord from an auction for $5K put another $6K into it and now I have a less than 40k mile car that is almost new for less than 15k. Would not recommend to anyone who does not know their way around a car though or know mechanics personally that can help do all the repairs. But it is a great way to save a nice chunk of change
Car auctions are a seriously great way to get a good deal. But like you said, you have to know what you're doing and can be a time commitment. Sorry about your car!
Love used cars I bought and sold 4 so far. I really like the explanation of how to phrase questions! You really have to dive and be so Thorough when dealing and buying, which you explained! Great vid 👍🏼 thank you sir!
You for sure HAVE to. You just can't trust things at first glance. I've sold a lot of cars in my life. Hot wheels were all the rage in middle school! haha (just a joke) Thanks for your support!
Financial Lift fr! I love going in there with my ramps and makita 1M Lumen flashlight 🤣 and picking that thing apart and offering a price 30% or so off Man your tips are really good! Like someone who has never done this can really get a good grasp, make a check list from this video, and really make a good purchase Keep it up!!
The few times I've spent decent money on a car, I take my time with it. Most of the cars I buy are insanely cheap so I take the chance. Quick spin around the block and make the trade. Best car I ever bought, I got it for 250 bucks and it needed the front end rebuilt. Overall, I'm about 50/50 with that.
I actually buy most of my cars from private party. Mostly I go to upscale neighborhoods. This kinda provides a sense of security that this person has most likely kept up with the maintenance schedule
That's for sure a great tip, especially when you consider that not everyone even puts their cars online for sale. Some people just put a sign up and you'd only spot it if you were in person.
@@financiallift6185 I’m looking to buy a mercedes e350 at 100k miles. The service history seems good, and I got a mechanic to check the car ‘only break pads are worn’ so this can be fixed. Would you say this is too risky an investment to go for a 100k mileage Mercedes E Class 2014 plate??
Awesome! Also personal tip and preference but don't assume that the owner changed the oil unless you have proof. I always change it regardless because they may not remember accurately when they last changed it. Kind of like if I sold you a pair of jeans and said I washed it. Are you going to take my word? Probably best to wash them
@@financiallift6185 thats the plan. I'm taking it to my trusted mechanic to give me a run down on its state. Its a 2003 with only 80,000 so I'm hopeful!
Well glad I could help! And best wishes to your son. First car is always such a thrilling experience! Wish I would have treated my first car just a little bit better. I cared for it mechanically for sure, but aesthetically, I got a few stains on the seats...
The biggest issue I find is most sellers are not willing to have their car inspected by your mechanic at their shop (where car will go up on lift). Most sellers don't even want to know if there is major problem with car. For this reason, you have to be really really patient and only even consider buying used car only if they allow your mechanic to inspect car at his shop.
My parents right now are debating if they want to buy a new or a used car. They've always bought new cars, but I argued that getting a used car can be more money-saving. However, there are a ton of risks with a used car, that you've covered in your video. Def need to be very thorough with the car history
Superb video. I find trying to find the right used car is very tricky. I’m trying to find an NB or NC Miata with limited slip differential. However the best private sales I’m finding are on cars that don’t have that option. Would it be wise to buy a car without lsd and then add on an aftermarket one?? I live in New England and I think as we get closer to fall, I should be able to get a good deal on a Miata. Most people ask WAY too much for their car. What methods have you used offering a lower price?
I just looked at a corolla.. seller story didn't make sense. It was previously his uncle's car. But when I asked how long he has owned it, he said a few months. So why would he sell so soon? He also told me he didn't need it because working from home now. So why did he but it, especially when he claimed to have another car? Then he didn't want a mechanic to look at it.
Glad I could help! If any codes pop up, just google it and I pretty much bet that someone will have explained what it is, what to do, and the overall cost to make the repair
Great information, A lot of great tips, in the UK the cars have to get a yearly test called an MOT, and is a great way to find out information about second-hand cars. 😀
Check out various forums to read up common issues with the make/model/year of the used car you're interested as well. Then when inspecting the car, you can pay closer attention to those known problem areas.
This is our next big purchase. We moved states and we decided to wait to get a new used car in Ohio versus Illinois. We are now starting to look but not at the point of inspecting just yet but will be in the next 6 months or so. Thanks for such an awesome video for me to watch before we start the buying a new to us car.
Great pointers -- if you ask a lot of questions and they start demonstrating negative body language...they may be hiding something from you. A smooth used transaction (car or anything else), is one where the seller is more than willing to answer any question of the prospective buyer.
Thanks for advice! Can you recommend where is the best place to find used cars from owner? Ebay and cars is not a best way and there is to many dealers there.
Loved it! Another great video with awesome content. Love your videos! Keep spreading positivity and impacting other peoples lives my friend. Keep up your amazing hard work! :) 🙂🙂
Question?! Pls answer !ASAP! If buying from a private seller from a different state, can I change the title on the state where I’m currently leaving or from its original state ?!
What if the car is financed? For example, if the car is financed what do you do? Do you purchase it and then put the lien in your name? If the car isn’t financed and is paid off do you purchase the vehicle and just get it in your name to transfer ownership? Do you also have to have a bill of sale?
Had a question. I sold a car recently, he comes back a couple days later asking for money back. The buyer also test drove the car and checked it, also offered a obd2 scanner for him to see himself. Is it still possible for him to get the money back but i dont want to?
I'm interested in buying a particular car, but the name of the person who is selling the car is not on the Title of the car. This person said that he just bought it from some else, but change his mind about keeping it. It does not have registration or plates. Thank you, in advance for your reply.
I'm slowly looking for a different vehicle, I have a 98 Buick regal and, it's been through alot One winter, I left a window down and it damaged the back seats badly, plus I had a tow, and the area where they hook is badly damaged, It was towed to a Firestone, and they said I needed a new battery, so 2 months later I pop my hood up and the covering over the Motor is gone, makes me wonder what else was taken, So I think women out there like myself should take photos of there car or vehicle, and if it had to have work done check it afterwards, at least then you will have photos, I didn't do this so I have no proof, but I will never use the Firestone ever again, in Taylor M. And I really don't care for Car fax, a salvage title in Michigan, is orange.....Nice video & tips Thanks👍
This is a dumb question but I haven't had a car in years and never bought one on my own. I saw a couple I was interested in on Craigslist. The description said it comes with plates/tabs title transfer and registration paper work, so no need to go to the DMV. But the picture shows no plates on the actual car. So can I even test drive it?? None the less drive it off the property and take it home?? Lol. Is it just a simple matter of screwing the "plates" up there that the owner said it comes with??
Well, they can sign the title over but you will always have to take the title to get a new one under your name. So keep that in mind. The plates, could be a toss up. Some people take it off and stop paying insurance if the car is sitting in a garage or if it's like on their own property like a farm. That being said though, this could be a stolen car too. What I'd suggest is before wasting your time, ask if they'd be willing to show a driver's license and proof that their name matches the name on the title. And then run the VIN online and see if it's reported stolen. Otherwise, depending on where you test drive, yes I'd put the plate back on.
My 17 year old cousin bought a 2007 Lexus IS350. It looked beautiful and shiny when he visited the private seller and bought it. The following few months though? Huge expenses. He needed a new water pump, new suspension, some new abs sensors, and a new PCV valve and and MAF sensor. He ended up spending what was left on his savings to make the car up and running good again. He regrets buying it so suddenly instead of getting an inspection.
@@anthony1776diaz oh yeah just be sure to ask a lot of questions and if you can bring someone who knows about cars and can be there to inspect it and also ask questions of their own. Also, I have an 08 IS250. She ain’t a 350 which is better but she’s still a beauty. You have good taste in cars .
I'm trying to buy my first vehicle I found a really good deal on Facebook marketplace but I don't have my driver's license how do I get it home legally without plates
I’m looking to buy a 08 Ford Expedition for $5500 with 225k on the clock…clean title..one accident where airbags didn’t deploy..it was a lease..most the miles are highway miles from what I was told..two owner vehicle
Hi I’m trying to buy a used car from a private seller but he saying he needs my cash or check to bring to his bank to get the title released ? I don’t know if should do that
good video! was going to look at a car from a private seller online (offer up) and his VIN reflected a salvage record with a nasty photo of it but yet he said it only had a small dent in the front grille, the whole front was totaled, he never did answer me on OU once I presented that info!
Great Video! Looking at a 2010 scion, 108000 miles, seems mechanically ok but going to have a mechanic look at it tomorrow, did a short test drive, seemed ok but he said he did repaint it for some reason I forgot, I will ask again tomorrow, he was asking $5800 , why should a private sale yield more than carmax or vroom? they say $3500
Hi so I'm a single mother of 4 and I have no knowledge whatsoever on cars and I'm looking to purchase a 2010 Honda Pilot EX-L with DVD entertainment system at 167,310 miles for $9,500 from a seller and I think I might be getting ripped off because at 1st he said $13,00 on an 11yr old vehicle but when I said no he placed the vehicle on CarGurus for $8,995 and when I called him and said something to him about it he said he'll give it to me for $9,500 fees and warranty included..... I don't think I want to get the vehicle from him now but I'm desperate because now my 4yr old will soon be going to school and now all 4 of my kids are going to need me to pick them up and drop them off..... What are some ways for me to find a private seller and am I getting a good price on the Honda Pilot??? Please help me I do not know what I should do or how I should get started 🤦🏾♀️
If I were you, I would ask around for a man that fixes his own cars, and knows what problems to look for in a used car. Take him with you to inspect the car and ask appropriate questions. Do a Car Fax on the vin prior to looking at the car. Offer to buy your friend lunch or pay him to come with you. Don't go by yourself.
This is great! Cars are such a time and money sink and spending a little more time asking question and thoroughly testing the car (through driving) to make sure the car is actually in good working order. But I didn't know that more than 70% of all car sales are used...but I think that makes sense.
So, this is quite a new situation but the owner of the car im trying to buy has the Registration and Bill of sale still signed from the person he bought it from since this whole pandemic prevented him from registering it and is selling the car to , VIN check up doesn't show it was reported stolen should I still go through with it? My state doesn't require Title since the car is over 20years old. Only registration and bill of sale is required
And its becuse of dishonest private sellers that I put up with dealer fees, addons, and paperwork so when something dose go wrong its less likely to fall on me. NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD.
Its sad but you are very right! Unplugging the battery to reset the check engine. Covering issues with cheap paint. Never changing the oil until right before you sell. All while asking for the top of the line private seller price as if they took good care of the car. Plenty of crocked people. That's why I make these videos to help normal honest people that don't know much about cars.
Don't put up with that either. Watch Kevin Hunters videos on fake dealership fees and add on that you don't need to finance at ridiculous rates (if at all)
@@jaredpatterson1701 LOl just becausse I said I put up with them dosent mean I pay every single cent they ask for. I breake down the cost of EVERY add on down to the penny before I agree to anything. usually takes me 8 hours from start to finish to buy a car from any dealership I have been to. with the exception of Tesla.
@@Hypurian1 I’m on the fence between owner or dealer purchase . May I ask what kind of warranty they give you or for how long ?. And have you ever had to use the warranty . How costly was it . ?
I am buying my first used car and probably private sale. I have learned a lot by pulling reports. And have learned how valuable it is to spend the money. So far 4 for 4 cars I was about to buy had problematic history. And for 3 of those the owners are shocked because they bought the car from a used dealership that did not have to disclose the problematic history (Florida). I’ve seen two cars with rolled back odometers, one rebuilt the person knew but appeared to be avoiding specifying it was rebuilt and one car that had been in a major accident when it was a rental 2 months after buying sold at auction and the new owner who drove it for 7 years did not know the seriousness of the accident. Three buyers where directly misled by the dealer that sold it and one appears to have taken advantage of the person being a new immigrant to sell a car whose odometer was rolled back well over 100k miles. I have not gotten to the stage or seeing the cars in person but I have gathered if vin checks out I will probably invest in a mechanic to check out the car for me.
@@albertcasper310 carfax and auto check. Sometimes one has more information Thant he other. At least one seller was deceptive. They showed a good auto check report but the carfax showed the odometer had been rolled back.
Bought an old car once. The worse purchase of my life. Some of these points would have done me good. Question: What year would be your don’t buy for a vehicle? - like what’s the oldest year car you would buy and would never pass that year
Well a few things, 1) when you take more than 10k out of any bank, you'll have to fill out this disclosure form. Doesn't mean that you can't do it, just letting you know that this is a tool banks use to prevent illegal things from happening but MANY have had to do this for car buying. 2) Be caution of how you give the money to the owner. I personally would have the person meet at the bank once you've already test driven the car and agreed on the price. That way, you're not meeting a stranger in a dim light parking lot that knows you're carrying a large sum of cash. People get mugged that way. 3) are you asking money from the bank, or you have this money, because if you're wanting a loan from the bank, that's different and is a different discussion. Hope this helps and happy to respond more
Man i learned more in this video than i did in hs. Ty op. I do have a follow up question: My mechanic doesnt make house calls and works 35 miles from the car im interested in. The car is owned by a senior couple (the wife) who had surgery and cant drive anymore apparently. The craigslist ad says she was 90, but the husband (over the phone) said she was 75 with leg surgery, so thats a red flag for me.. the car (pictured in the ad) looks immaculate and under 100k miles for a very good price so it seems a little too good to be true. I originally asked if he would be willing to meet at my mechanic so he could check it out, but he said hes old and doesnt want to drive or go anywhere.. i have an appt later this week to check it out, and am going to ask them if i can take it to my mechanic, but i dont want to offend them by somehow asking wrong. Is there a routine way to go about this? Im assuming i need to offer some sort of collateral, but im weary of handing over my ID or offering too much/little of a deposit
No problem! If not for having a family with car knowledge, I'd been lost on my first purchase as well. So two things 1) you touch on a REALLY good thing which is to look for cars from older people or in rich neighborhoods. Yes you'll get people that are snobs and over value their car but you can find a good deal because elderly people typically have a car with minimal use so the age may be old, but it has low miles and is in good condition. So the price isn't too sus to me. Same is true with the 90/75 thing. They're old. Typo doesn't surprise me. 2) that being said, I would proceed AS IF YOU'RE MEETING A 30 BUFF STRANGER. so if you wouldn't feel comfortable meeting alone, then don't just because you assume they're elderly. I always meet in public places but if they're insisting they're house, scope out the area before you get there without telling the seller and have a second person with you and text a third person where you're going and when you left/get back. If you don't see the car there, peace out. If you feel good, I'd still call from within your car, for the old man to step out and meet you at the car. No old guy, peace out. I seem paranoid but honestly no car is worth your life or a traumatic experience. With the mechanic, they SHOULD be willing to either let you take it yourself with no deposit, or the old guy goes with you. Have to make another comment. Stay tuned for part 2 haha
For me, when it comes to the money exchange, I would ideally have my friend in a second car with the money. Or be close that I can go to a bank or something. So, the giving a deposit thing, no way. Then they KNOW you're carrying cash or at least assume you have it. I've tested driven plenty of cars from private sellers and almost all, surprisingly, let me drive it around without them and without a deposit or anything. A picture of you ID would accomplish the same thing right? You can replace an ID for 50 bucks, so why would that stop anyone from taking off with the car. So, if he's not willing to go with you, and really not willing to let you take it to a mechanic, I'd back out of the deal, or play hard ball on price. Ok you don't want me to check it out, knock $1k off then. At the end of the day, living with a bad car and sinking money into it, is way more painful than having to wait a few extra weeks to find the right car and seller. Let me know if you have any more questions. Happy to help and best of luck
ive found a mustang 113k miles 4cylinder 2.0 turbo the guy says he drives it daily says he does regular maintenance on it. and ask me to make an offer im out of town atm so i told him once i get back in and sell my current car ill come give it a test drive and give him an offer after that. i think i may offer 2000$ because well im 18 dont have much money but could offord it but will be willing to pay more than 2k no more than 2700$
True and appreciate the correction. I will say though not uncommon even in the auto industry to hear people say VIN number. Just like in finance you hear people say IRA account, which I'm also guilty of from time to time. Oops!

What about buying with a money order and what about type of bill of sale paper work ?
tips:
1) run a vin check/carfax
2) ask questions (in description)
3) test drive in a variety of conditions
4) inspect the vehicle
5) take your time
still watch the video though, very through insight.
This list was so helpful. Did screenshot to bring w/me while car shopping this week. Thnx!

unfortunately the same risks exist buying used cars from some dealers, nice tips!
100% true. Many people don't realize it though
Plus used dealers only give restricted and limited guarantee. And it’s always the part that breaks that is not covered by warranty 🤪
Yup. Always tell them you want to take it to an independent trusted mechanic for a used car inspection. Honest dealers shouldn't have a problem with it. If something comes back as needing fixing, you can ask them to take that money off the sales price.

New Cars are always a worst investment, you literally gain nothing for decades. I ride an E-Bike to work. The bike was $900, the transit system would cost me $110 a month. That means in about 8.2 months my bike begins to save me money every single time I use it vs transit because now the cost of the bike is justified. If I ride the bike for another 2 years, I saved $2,640. vs Transit. If I walk to work, although it takes me 50 mins vs the bike's 16-22 mins, I pay nothing, I simply gain every single time I walk. If I walk for 3 years I gain $3960 in my pocket vs the bike. If I buy a used car that will last me 5-8 years with minimum up keep for around $2,500 same as with the bike, I have to wait a certain time frame until I gain from it. That time frame vs the metro is 22 months until I gain, a little more due to gas. That means after 2 years every time I drive my car vs the metro I save money. Now try that calculation with a car that cost $25,000 brand new. You literally NEVER gain from it.
I refuse to by a new car until I make so much money that analysis is irrelevant to me. But as of right now, I'm NEVER getting a brand new car. Even when I hit my first goal of $100,000 a year, I'm buying a FJ Cruiser used and riding that out. But my first car right now, I'm going cheap. I'm more than halfway to my financial goal. People are just scared of buying a car from a Private seller because the car lots and things make it seem like they are the authority in the car market and that you SHOULDN'T go to a private seller. I know there's risk, but with basic knowledge and being smart about it, paying $3000 for a used car from a person vs $8000 for the same car for a lot makes way more sense. What doesn't make sense is paying $18,000, $25,000, $40,000, $60,000 for whatever car, never gaining back from it when most average folks don't even have a salary that justifies that purchase.
They think "Oh I have good credit, so I pay $200 a month for my car so I'm good" But their salary is $50,000 a year, that's a stupid investment to me when a car is that much of your salary. I wouldn't even by a $50,000 car with a $120,000 salary, that's too much. God forbid you get hurt or sick or such and have that cost hanging over your head, it's a risk. People have no problem seeing low cost used cars from a seller as a risk, YET they don't see high cost new cars from a dealer as a risk? make it make sense. Life is not perfect and things ALWAYS happen, therefor any huge cost that lingers is a risk to you which includes your house, your car, outstanding debts like credit cards. Having huge cost lingering long term is more of a risk than a cheap car from a private seller, so ask yourself why you're scared of THAT more than what I said.
@@drjonesey5 Well Said!
Better off buying certain older used cars like I did : 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 cabrio with 32k miles, paid $18000 and sold it 2 years later for $24k . Bought a 94 mini cooper for $16k,kept it a year and sold it on BAT for $22k. Bought a 64 caddy for $16k ,kept it a year and sold it for $16.500. Bought a 17 Dodge challenger 16 months ago for $30k all in at a dealer and sold it for $23k yesterday so that wasn't profitable and my last new car purchase where I'm taking a bath.
Always buy used! Never brand new. Learned that very young
Agreed
Always buy new, and keep the car 10 to 20 years. Then you know the history of the car first hand.
@@tommak6516 rather buy used. You could literally get a vehicle with less than 100miles as long as it's more than 0 and will it sell for way less than a new car. So yeah rather buy used
All the cars I want I have to buy used
@@tommak6516 I told myself that but circumstances change and a new car loses value very fast. With a lien it’s hard to get rid of and assurances are not always there. Personal experience I had the transmission go out on a 2 year old car I bought new followed by several wheel bearings before I sold it for under kbb after an error popped up that could have been the onboard computer. Pandemic saved me because I managed to sell that car with rolled over debt a couple years later for about the same I paid for it.
Great video, thank you. After watching this, I've gone from fearing the process to actually imagining that I could make buying a used car a financially wise decision.
😂 right
GREAT TIPS! i took a lot of notes as i am looking to buy a used minivan .... THANK YOU!
I like the idea of asking questions and not being afraid to ask questions - especially by having them see you as a person so you can understand any issues that you get into. I really like the way you do your descriptions! They have so much value (same as the video). It's a great way when let's say I was going to buy a car that I could refer to the description to see those questions. These are great tips! I really like the way you talk about these topics. You really add a more people feel to it so if feels like a friend is giving me this advice. It really feels like a fireside chat.
If anything a responsible seller would respect it and know you are serious about buying.
I got my car from a used dealership. I probably would have gotten a better deal if I watched this video before hand! Great tips!
Crazy thing is, a lot of used car dealerships will pose as a private seller and try to sell the car that way. I'm sure you still got a better deal than buying new!
@@financiallift6185
So true .
Great tips here. It's true that many factors come into play, when you buy a car. For us, the most important thing is trust: whether you buy from a friend or from a dealership. Then you still need to do the regular 'work' (Carfax, etc.) Thanks for sharing. - ✨ *Your Awesome Friends at The S'witty Kiwi Show* 🧡

I actually got a car that was totaled but I did it on purpose, got a 2017 Honda Accord from an auction for $5K put another $6K into it and now I have a less than 40k mile car that is almost new for less than 15k. Would not recommend to anyone who does not know their way around a car though or know mechanics personally that can help do all the repairs. But it is a great way to save a nice chunk of change
Car auctions are a seriously great way to get a good deal. But like you said, you have to know what you're doing and can be a time commitment. Sorry about your car!
Love used cars I bought and sold 4 so far.
I really like the explanation of how to phrase questions! You really have to dive and be so Thorough when dealing and buying, which you explained!

Thanks really appreciate it. A good portion of my family have a solid auto background so I owe it to them
The few times I've spent decent money on a car, I take my time with it. Most of the cars I buy are insanely cheap so I take the chance. Quick spin around the block and make the trade. Best car I ever bought, I got it for 250 bucks and it needed the front end rebuilt.
Overall, I'm about 50/50 with that.
I actually buy most of my cars from private party. Mostly I go to upscale neighborhoods. This kinda provides a sense of security that this person has most likely kept up with the maintenance schedule
That's for sure a great tip, especially when you consider that not everyone even puts their cars online for sale. Some people just put a sign up and you'd only spot it if you were in person.
True . I ask for the cars maintenance record . No record no buy

Awesome! Also personal tip and preference but don't assume that the owner changed the oil unless you have proof.

This was a very informative video my bro! Ill definitely come back to this vid before i buy my next car 😁
Glad I could help
The biggest issue I find is most sellers are not willing to have their car inspected by your mechanic at their shop (where car will go up on lift). Most sellers don't even want to know if there is major problem with car. For this reason, you have to be really really patient and only even consider buying used car only if they allow your mechanic to inspect car at his shop.
So true
Absolutely, my mechanic doesn't look at it I don't buy it
Great explanation mate! I just actually bought a car from a dealership but the tips you shared are very valid regardless :D
I need to eventually do this once I'm done with public transit. Great video bro!
Very helpful. When potentially buying a car from someone, is it OK to ask them for the VIN number before you go out to purchase it?
My parents right now are debating if they want to buy a new or a used car. They've always bought new cars, but I argued that getting a used car can be more money-saving. However, there are a ton of risks with a used car, that you've covered in your video. Def need to be very thorough with the car history
I mean, there is something to be said about peace of mind. That's why I think certified pre-owned can be a decent in between option
Superb video. I find trying to find the right used car is very tricky. I’m trying to find an NB or NC Miata with limited slip differential. However the best private sales I’m finding are on cars that don’t have that option. Would it be wise to buy a car without lsd and then add on an aftermarket one?? I live in New England and I think as we get closer to fall, I should be able to get a good deal on a Miata. Most people ask WAY too much for their car. What methods have you used offering a lower price?
Hi,. a seller is not willing to share VIN. he is insisting that I can come visit take a look myself. should I be concerned?
Wow this guy is good.
Best advice Ive heard yet
I just looked at a corolla.. seller story didn't make sense. It was previously his uncle's car. But when I asked how long he has owned it, he said a few months. So why would he sell so soon? He also told me he didn't need it because working from home now. So why did he but it, especially when he claimed to have another car? Then he didn't want a mechanic to look at it.
Thank you so much! I did not know about OBD devices. Just bought one and looking forward to using it.
Glad I could help! If any codes pop up, just google it and I pretty much bet that someone will have explained what it is, what to do, and the overall cost to make the repair
Excellent advice thank you very much for sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it. Please continue to do so I really need your expertise.
Great information, A lot of great tips, in the UK the cars have to get a yearly test called an MOT, and is a great way to find out information about second-hand cars. 😀
Interesting, in the US, only some states have that yearly inspection and others don't
Check out various forums to read up common issues with the make/model/year of the used car you're interested as well. Then when inspecting the car, you can pay closer attention to those known problem areas.
This is our next big purchase. We moved states and we decided to wait to get a new used car in Ohio versus Illinois. We are now starting to look but not at the point of inspecting just yet but will be in the next 6 months or so. Thanks for such an awesome video for me to watch before we start the buying a new to us car.
Best of luck! and sincerely hope some of these tips help!
Crisp and clear. Thank you very much.
Great pointers -- if you ask a lot of questions and they start demonstrating negative body language...they may be hiding something from you. A smooth used transaction (car or anything else), is one where the seller is more than willing to answer any question of the prospective buyer.
Totally agree, body language is a lot hard to hide even for people that are self aware of it

Question?! Pls answer
!ASAP! If buying from a private seller from a different state, can I change the title on the state where I’m currently leaving or from its original state ?!
What if the car is financed? For example, if the car is financed what do you do? Do you purchase it and then put the lien in your name? If the car isn’t financed and is paid off do you purchase the vehicle and just get it in your name to transfer ownership? Do you also have to have a bill of sale?
definitely good information !!!

Had a question. I sold a car recently, he comes back a couple days later asking for money back. The buyer also test drove the car and checked it, also offered a obd2 scanner for him to see himself. Is it still possible for him to get the money back but i dont want to?
I'm interested in buying a particular car, but the name of the person who is selling the car is not on the Title of the car. This person said that he just bought it from some else, but change his mind about keeping it. It does not have registration or plates. Thank you, in advance for your reply.
Excellent advice!!!!
Yes this is the best way to get a deal this is what I do too!!
Well, winning a car on the price is right might be a slightly better deal!
Mazda cx5 signature model 2021 with 2.5k miles on it , how much should it worth be ?
I'm slowly looking for a different vehicle, I have a 98 Buick regal and, it's been through alot One winter, I left a window down and it damaged the back seats badly, plus I had a tow, and the area where they hook is badly damaged, It was towed to a Firestone, and they said I needed a new battery, so 2 months later I pop my hood up and the covering over the Motor is gone, makes me wonder what else was taken, So I think women out there like myself should take photos of there car or vehicle, and if it had to have work done check it afterwards, at least then you will have photos, I didn't do this so I have no proof, but I will never use the Firestone ever again, in Taylor M. And I really don't care for Car fax, a salvage title in Michigan, is orange.....Nice video & tips Thanks👍
This is a dumb question but I haven't had a car in years and never bought one on my own. I saw a couple I was interested in on Craigslist. The description said it comes with plates/tabs title transfer and registration paper work, so no need to go to the DMV. But the picture shows no plates on the actual car. So can I even test drive it?? None the less drive it off the property and take it home?? Lol. Is it just a simple matter of screwing the "plates" up there that the owner said it comes with??
Well, they can sign the title over but you will always have to take the title to get a new one under your name. So keep that in mind.
The plates, could be a toss up. Some people take it off and stop paying insurance if the car is sitting in a garage or if it's like on their own property like a farm. That being said though, this could be a stolen car too. What I'd suggest is before wasting your time, ask if they'd be willing to show a driver's license and proof that their name matches the name on the title. And then run the VIN online and see if it's reported stolen. Otherwise, depending on where you test drive, yes I'd put the plate back on.
Also I'm happy to help and that wasn't a dumb question. Everyone learns at some point so these types of questions have to be asked at some point!
Thank you for an informative video 👍🙂

My 17 year old cousin bought a 2007 Lexus IS350. It looked beautiful and shiny when he visited the private seller and bought it. The following few months though? Huge expenses. He needed a new water pump, new suspension, some new abs sensors, and a new PCV valve and and MAF sensor. He ended up spending what was left on his savings to make the car up and running good again. He regrets buying it so suddenly instead of getting an inspection.

Hi so I'm a single mother of 4 and I have no knowledge whatsoever on cars and I'm looking to purchase a 2010 Honda Pilot EX-L with DVD entertainment system at 167,310 miles for $9,500 from a seller and I think I might be getting ripped off because at 1st he said $13,00 on an 11yr old vehicle but when I said no he placed the vehicle on CarGurus for $8,995 and when I called him and said something to him about it he said he'll give it to me for $9,500 fees and warranty included..... I don't think I want to get the vehicle from him now but I'm desperate because now my 4yr old will soon be going to school and now all 4 of my kids are going to need me to pick them up and drop them off..... What are some ways for me to find a private seller and am I getting a good price on the Honda Pilot??? Please help me I do not know what I should do or how I should get started 🤦🏾♀️
If I were you, I would ask around for a man that fixes his own cars, and knows what problems to look for in a used car. Take him with you to inspect the car and ask appropriate questions. Do a Car Fax on the vin prior to looking at the car. Offer to buy your friend lunch or pay him to come with you. Don't go by yourself.
Keep it up bro!
I respect the bro code
This is great! Cars are such a time and money sink and spending a little more time asking question and thoroughly testing the car (through driving) to make sure the car is actually in good working order. But I didn't know that more than 70% of all car sales are used...but I think that makes sense.
I guess it makes sense when you think the same car can be sold multiple times as used, but only as new once.
I'm going to buy a used toyota soon
Awesome!
So, this is quite a new situation but the owner of the car im trying to buy has the Registration and Bill of sale still signed from the person he bought it from since this whole pandemic prevented him from registering it and is selling the car to , VIN check up doesn't show it was reported stolen should I still go through with it? My state doesn't require Title since the car is over 20years old. Only registration and bill of sale is required
And its becuse of dishonest private sellers that I put up with dealer fees, addons, and paperwork so when something dose go wrong its less likely to fall on me. NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD.
Its sad but you are very right! Unplugging the battery to reset the check engine. Covering issues with cheap paint. Never changing the oil until right before you sell. All while asking for the top of the line private seller price as if they took good care of the car. Plenty of crocked people. That's why I make these videos to help normal honest people that don't know much about cars.
Don't put up with that either. Watch Kevin Hunters videos on fake dealership fees and add on that you don't need to finance at ridiculous rates (if at all)
@@jaredpatterson1701 LOl just becausse I said I put up with them dosent mean I pay every single cent they ask for.

I’m on the fence between owner or dealer purchase .
May I ask what kind of warranty they give you or for how long ?. And have you ever had to use the warranty . How costly was it . ?
I am buying my first used car and probably private sale. I have learned a lot by pulling reports. And have learned how valuable it is to spend the money. So far 4 for 4 cars I was about to buy had problematic history. And for 3 of those the owners are shocked because they bought the car from a used dealership that did not have to disclose the problematic history (Florida). I’ve seen two cars with rolled back odometers, one rebuilt the person knew but appeared to be avoiding specifying it was rebuilt and one car that had been in a major accident when it was a rental 2 months after buying sold at auction and the new owner who drove it for 7 years did not know the seriousness of the accident. Three buyers where directly misled by the dealer that sold it and one appears to have taken advantage of the person being a new immigrant to sell a car whose odometer was rolled back well over 100k miles.
I have not gotten to the stage or seeing the cars in person but I have gathered if vin checks out I will probably invest in a mechanic to check out the car for me.
How did you find out all that I formation of the vehicles?
@@albertcasper310 carfax and auto check. Sometimes one has more information Thant he other. At least one seller was deceptive. They showed a good auto check report but the carfax showed the odometer had been rolled back.

Bought an old car once. The worse purchase of my life. Some of these points would have done me good. Question: What year would be your don’t buy for a vehicle? - like what’s the oldest year car you would buy and would never pass that year
What if it’s $17K.. ? Do I have to go to a bank and ask for it, and give that amount all at once to the owner ?
Well a few things, 1) when you take more than 10k out of any bank, you'll have to fill out this disclosure form. Doesn't mean that you can't do it, just letting you know that this is a tool banks use to prevent illegal things from happening but MANY have had to do this for car buying.
2) Be caution of how you give the money to the owner. I personally would have the person meet at the bank once you've already test driven the car and agreed on the price. That way, you're not meeting a stranger in a dim light parking lot that knows you're carrying a large sum of cash. People get mugged that way.
3) are you asking money from the bank, or you have this money, because if you're wanting a loan from the bank, that's different and is a different discussion.
Hope this helps and happy to respond more

Is $800 good for a car with 94,000 miles?
who here pays $500 to inspect a car?
Yea no fuuccckkk that 😂😂
Man i learned more in this video than i did in hs. Ty op.
I do have a follow up question:
My mechanic doesnt make house calls and works 35 miles from the car im interested in. The car is owned by a senior couple (the wife) who had surgery and cant drive anymore apparently. The craigslist ad says she was 90, but the husband (over the phone) said she was 75 with leg surgery, so thats a red flag for me.. the car (pictured in the ad) looks immaculate and under 100k miles for a very good price so it seems a little too good to be true. I originally asked if he would be willing to meet at my mechanic so he could check it out, but he said hes old and doesnt want to drive or go anywhere.. i have an appt later this week to check it out, and am going to ask them if i can take it to my mechanic, but i dont want to offend them by somehow asking wrong. Is there a routine way to go about this? Im assuming i need to offer some sort of collateral, but im weary of handing over my ID or offering too much/little of a deposit
No problem! If not for having a family with car knowledge, I'd been lost on my first purchase as well.
So two things 1) you touch on a REALLY good thing which is to look for cars from older people or in rich neighborhoods. Yes you'll get people that are snobs and over value their car but you can find a good deal because elderly people typically have a car with minimal use so the age may be old, but it has low miles and is in good condition. So the price isn't too sus to me. Same is true with the 90/75 thing. They're old. Typo doesn't surprise me.
2) that being said, I would proceed AS IF YOU'RE MEETING A 30 BUFF STRANGER. so if you wouldn't feel comfortable meeting alone, then don't just because you assume they're elderly. I always meet in public places but if they're insisting they're house, scope out the area before you get there without telling the seller and have a second person with you and text a third person where you're going and when you left/get back. If you don't see the car there, peace out. If you feel good, I'd still call from within your car, for the old man to step out and meet you at the car. No old guy, peace out. I seem paranoid but honestly no car is worth your life or a traumatic experience.
With the mechanic, they SHOULD be willing to either let you take it yourself with no deposit, or the old guy goes with you. Have to make another comment. Stay tuned for part 2 haha
For me, when it comes to the money exchange, I would ideally have my friend in a second car with the money. Or be close that I can go to a bank or something. So, the giving a deposit thing, no way. Then they KNOW you're carrying cash or at least assume you have it.
I've tested driven plenty of cars from private sellers and almost all, surprisingly, let me drive it around without them and without a deposit or anything. A picture of you ID would accomplish the same thing right? You can replace an ID for 50 bucks, so why would that stop anyone from taking off with the car. So, if he's not willing to go with you, and really not willing to let you take it to a mechanic, I'd back out of the deal, or play hard ball on price. Ok you don't want me to check it out, knock $1k off then. At the end of the day, living with a bad car and sinking money into it, is way more painful than having to wait a few extra weeks to find the right car and seller. Let me know if you have any more questions. Happy to help and best of luck

Hi,. a seller is not willing to share VIN. he is insisting that I can come visit take a look myself. should I be concerned?
