Hey guys. I try to reply everyone in the first hour :)
Maybe :)
Please make video about Czechoslovak cars. We have few interesting ones. For example MTX Tatra V8, Skoda 110 Super Sport (also known as Ferat), Skoda Felicia PickUp (special version was called FUN) or Tatra t77a (car with smallest aerodynamic resistance - 0.212)
Viral Vehicles i love you please heart my comment
How are you man?
Cmon bro
My favorites
"I know what I have"
"I don't need to sell"
"No lowballers"
Cody W my favorite is a rich man/somebody abroad was interested.
Maybe this isnt very common in america or europe but in my country every 5 seller out 3 says this.
@Gappie Al Kebabi what does any president or prime minister have to do with a private transaction? Buy your used cars from a well-known dealership franchise and always get a real warranty
"all highway miles"
"rare color combination"
"selling for a friend"
There is no way ANY vehicle is all highway miles. At some point, someone would have to get off the highway for something.
They mean mostly highway miles and it actually makes a big difference. That's of course *if* the majority of the miles are indeed highway. Think a car owned by someone who lives in the country vs someone who lives in a congested city. There will be a big difference in the condition of the engine of those two cars even if they have equal miles. If you don't think that matters, you don't understand engines.
@@dickJohnsonpeter
ok, it's still something they say
"Needs $20 part..."
True... the PART costs $20.
It's the $500 LABOR CHARGE to put it in that kills you.
not if you change it yourself.
@@robertedwardlee8227 not if you don't have your own garage and tools
@@user-yg4kj2mf1p not if your mechanical knowhow is absolute garbage.
@@robertedwardlee8227 Then it just sets in your driveway, half apart, for 2wks, 'til you get it done.
@@keithlowe1982 not if you have proper garage, where its nice to do stuff.
"Grandma owner. Only driven to church and back. Her right foot is shorter so she did not push gas pedal to the end. 400.000 miles. Clean car."
Sheesh!
Her right foot is shorter hahaha dead 😂😂😂
Written on a Challenger Hellcat listing.
@@fenn_fren if it's a lifted car with monster tires and your granny drove it I would be warry about it anyways cause your granny's a bit odd to be driving something like that around town
If a car has been actually driven by an old lady or mom you can expect the clutch to be ruined and the engine to have spent most of its time stalling at low revs (which means it needs a timing belt change for older cars).
The car my mom gave me for my university years had these things, although it did have ridiculously low miles on it, something like 85.000km (53000 miles) for a 9 year-old car. And my parents replaced the clutch and timing belt before they gave it to me.
Here, in Slovakia, sellers don't use "little old lady" instead use "it was old gentleman from Germany". Everything what is from Germany is level up
Lol really
@Gappie Al Kebabi in WW1 too so what? Italy was with Germany too. That time we was CzechoSlovakia (now we are 2 separated states). At the end of WW2 we change site and collaborate with ZSSR (Russia) a we have become part of them.
That's for sure. Everything that is made in Germany will always be considered better :P
*Deutsche Qualität*
Oh I see.. the same here in Estonia. Previous car owner was german with birth date 1932! :D
eh these "great quality germany" times are dying out.
we have so much bullshit around here.
even our politics are so fucked up right now, i'm considering to bail out. australia or something.
"One of a kind" always gets me. Oooh, you're so special for having your Nissan Altima wrapped in a color-changing green.
I saw a guy selling his 2014 base corvette for $80k because it was a "rare option combo." It was a bluish silver convertible with tan top and interior, and it looked atrocious. No wonder it was a rare spec
@@calincampbell5637 Yeah, rare does not necessary mean desirable.
Only driven on weekends. Translation: driven at track days and thrashed.
Never smoked inside. I literally laughed the seller in the face pointing at basically all of the materials in the car that looked like they were "smoked meat".
The guy who sold me my car said it was imported from three countries, bullcrap
@TsiG yep, better to buy it locally
When a car comes from Western countries (Germany for example) and is being sold in the Eastern part of Europe (Poland/ Ukraine, etc.) they tend to say that "The German owner cried when he was selling his car" LOL
'Tears of joy', ...maybe...??
Translation - The German owner cried when it failed the German safety tests in spectacular fashion, luckily I know a guy who can hook us up with a clean Polish certificate.
Had this guy say “you can test drive the vehicle after you buy it”
Hahahaha
There are people dumb enough to fall for that
What a clown
Runs perfect, needs transmission.
Low mileage for the year.
Salvage title but was just a scrape.
Flood car but dried out fine
Flood car you have to really walk away immediately
"No test drives"
Who would want to buy a 50k$ modded car without test driving it first
Bob I walk away if I can’t test drive they are obviously hiding a major issue
@@ryans413 no, not really, they just don't want any test pilots driving their pride and joy. I'm 99.9& sure that if you were to show the seller proof that you'r insured to drive his car he would be happy to let you take it out for a test drive.
That's the same thing i would do if i were selling a 50k car, i wouldn't let somebody random drive my pride and joy without proof of insurance or proof that they actually got the money to pay for the car
@@frmaciekF Insurance is the car owner's obligation and why should he reveal what he is able to pay in the first place? That would be a dumb idea. :)
@@frmaciekF it's impossible for someone test driving your car to be insured for your car. You buy car insurance on vehicles not people. That's why it's called car insurance. And how is the person going to "prove" they're able to buy it. A bank statement? That's personal info. A big bag of cash? You'd be dumb to pull out a big bag of cash in front of a stranger until you've negotiated a price and you're actually buying the car. If a person honestly seems interested in buying the car, that's all that's required for test driving.
"it never let me down once"
"not the best looking but gets you from point a to point b"
"I'm selling the car to get a bigger one" = "my old car is a piece of crap and I need to get rid of it asap"
Yep lol
Saw someone with a sequoia say that but what’s bigger than a sequoia??
@@reidheine8838 Nissan Armada ? ... School bus ?? Maybe ?
I once saw an ad, about some 200k km mr2, it was the highest trim, desc said ,,it had five owners, all were grannies driving it to the church". Yeah, all grannies drive a mid engine rwd sports car, totally. Dude wanted 12k for it.
Jurek Łopuszański haha 🤣 🤣🤣
Says "pristine condition"
Actually resprayed so many times, it's really 50 shades of white.
Let's not forget the teenagers who sell their sports cars and price gouge it to the heavens!
I usually see old men doing that with their corvettes
@@calincampbell5637 I've seen that a lot too. Then they try say "oh it's a special edition, its one of 20 made in this color combo and one 5 with these factory options." Oh and "no lowballers please"
I remember I saw a craigslist ad for a car guy said minor rear damage when it looked like it got hit by a semi
I got a freaking rustbucket the advertisement Said "it has a little bit of rust" i removed the floormat litturley holes in my "New" vw golf mk1
literally* sorry
Hmmm, mobile garbage disposal!
jk
Yo, u making it a sleeper?
Yes, Golf MK1 are known to be rustbuckets. Golf MK2 drive to the moon and back without rust with proper care.
@@mariekirpalova9329 little late reaction if all the rust has cured (not yet) it will be i have an order for an Audi 4.2 v8
I once saw a girl trying to sell a 2016 Nissan Altima on Craigslist who recently bought that car for her boyfriend (whom of which ended up breaking up with her) and was trying to sell the car. Sometimes you find sob stories on Craigslist.
Sounds ridiculous.
RickTrajan tbh, I did kind of feel bad but then again, I’ve seen sob stories like this before
"Car's imported from Germany! Previous owner cried when he sold this car!" "Previous owner chased it to the border!" A popular thing to say in a country where there's lots of imported cars, most of them after crash and with mileage reduced :P
the little old lady thing is confusing, have you heard how old people do manoeuvres? engine roaring away whilst trying to park. Rip clutch😅😅
When going to view the car if you get the "I warmed the car up for you" When you get there that usually means they are hiding something that's mechanically wrong with the engine.....stay away from it.
Learned that from my Automotive instructor.
My grandpa always says a car sellsman already lies to you if he says: "good morning"
Good morning mate, Your grandfather is a wise man
You forgot "Like New" or "Clean" quotes from scummy used car sellers
Never got the "clean" or like new, your selling a used car with 150,000 miles on the clock, nothing on that car is like new, maybe new tires, but that's about it, better to say everything in working condition
@@philfensome cleans fine a car can be clean all round
"If you message me asking a million questions you will get blocked."
It annoys me when they advertise the most basic things that pretty much every car has...."height adjustable head rests"
Arron Garner haha yeah! Stuff that’s been standard in all cars since 1942🤣🤣🤣
Power locks windows and mirrors like every car has those now it’s pretty much basic now
Yeah its annoying when your reading a description.
"Adjustable steering column"
"In car climate control"
Like, mate we aint in the 1950s now lol
It might not be common anymore, but "adult driven" always made me laugh. I remember my adult father doing burnouts down the street several times a week.
non runner but engine and trans in perfect working order

“Just one owner, a little old lady”

(late cringe alert)
I hate it when I'm searching on craigslist and I see a car for around $1200. When I read the listing it says otherwise. From $1200 to $5600 in just a few lines.
Go off of the lower price. If he gives you anything else tell him or her to "stop wasting my time!". I tend to find that if the price goes up like that it is a red flag.
@Gappie Al Kebabi it be like that sometimes
*You forgot the classic:* _"The car is full option!"_
Why is that annoying it's an information that will help u
@@stavrosbanos5876 Not really. I mean they are saying it is *full option* when in *reality* it's not.

Little old ladies are _not_ good drivers in Pennsylvania. Once an old lady made an illegal U-turn in the middle of a 4-lane highway. She almost got hit by a truck, me, and two other cars on the oncoming side. Me and the truck driver both blew our horns simultaneously.
Hahaha! "I have to many cars and this one needs to go"
Also
My ridiculous over price is the lowest, dont low ball me please
Here in my country you'll often find the term "vendo por viaje" which roughly translates to selling for trip. It basically means the seller is going on a trip (usually moving country) and wants to get rid of whatever he's selling as soon as possible. There's a rule that if you read this you should immediately run away as it's usually stolen stuff. Guess it's to make people think it is a limited time offer or something, I dunno.
I just love this channel! Feels like a casual conversation with your car guy friend! Keep up the good work man!
I hate when people say in the ad "I don't need to sell it". So why is it listed then? Why?
Owiko7 the one I really like: DONT WASTE MY TIME! Lol I guess I’m supposed to buy it without looking at anything else?
@@angeldesigns9064 Also when a guy has like a Quad and says "NO TRADES UNLESS ITS A NEW CAR"
Owiko7 haha seen that one to🤣🤣🤣
Patrick Angel my biggest pet peeve is when the advertisement has one picture, and it was taken from the space station
Or when you go to look at the car and the owner won’t shut up. Telling me everything they did to the car like it’s so suspicious like what you hiding
I hate when people say XXX,XXX miles is the sweet spot. If you are selling a diesel or a Toyota with 100K miles then sure that is great because they have a lot of life left.
"Drives and looks like new!"
**Has 120'000 Miles**
"MOT recently done"
**MOT needs to be redone in three month**
"Little scratch in front bumper"
**Complete front destroyed**
"Winter tyres included!"
**Profile is under limit, rims almost rusted away**
"MOT recently done" - Magically the huge list of advisories from last year have vanished.....
"Only driven to Church on Sundays"
“Minor oil leak” - head gasket was blown.
0:36 “1 careful owner. Never drifted just power slid”
"Previous owner was a 'little old lady'... "
Yea, ...

I had to chuckle at the "Replacement part is $20" line. Yeah, the PART is twenty bucks, but to replace it needs an A frame to remove the engine block from the car, a raft of specialist tools to crack open whatever the part is inside of and a day and a half of labour...
One phrase you used to hear a lot when shopping for a car (new or used) was "How much are you looking to INVEST" like I'm buying stocks or real estate. I used to laugh when a salesman said this. They didn't seem to like me too much after that.
I mean a rear main seal is normally arou d $15 just for the part, doesnt show what you have to do to actually replace it
rear main seal is quite easy to replace yourself don't make it look more complicated than it is
@@akwanet simple enough, you either remove the engine or transmission - though some vehicles those things are easily done, some are tedious.
I'm a used car salesman, my father in law and brother in law buy the cars and I sell them, they run the garage, I run the car forecourt, anyway, I try to avoid what you mentioned, I'm straight with people, especially with spares and repairs motors, someone else is interested, no one falls for that bul, regardless, always another car out there, and the little old lady, I've used that a few times 😂😂😂 dont work but it's fun to say, gives me a idea of how gullible people are, especially when your selling a range rover and they fall for it
"Mint condition only some battle scars" Typical used car seller
“My loss is your gain”
that burning impreza wagon was terrible to watch
@A real bisexual petrol-head i never said that, i just said i hate to see it since i love impreza wagons
1:41 a Cavalier and a Sunfire in a row
'No rust at all' until you check the online MOT history and it has failed on rust related issues
The car is accident-free. Little backstory. In Poland accident = someone got injured (at least 7 days treatment was required) in the collision. So the car might be "accident-free" but might have been smashed here and there.
Bimmer sellers - top-spec or full option and the car has only heated leather seats, cc and maybe big infotainment screen...like bro you can't top-spec because of some options are one or the other but not both.
in running condtion just needs tlc. or better yet dont have the time to work on it any more and need it gone
"just needs a tiny fix-up"
Translation" The engine is in pieces in the trunk
"Ran when parked"
Translation: It won't go
"Rare color"
Translation: Repainted or body panels ruined & changed
The "someone else is interested" it's just a way to sell the car faster it isn't forcing the buyer to buy the car.
These sayings are the worst. Most of the time I'm looking for a "fixer up" car that needs a little of work. So I can save myself a bit of money. I see a lot of scummy lines being used over and over again. What about these one's;
- "I'm selling it with pain in my heart" (Dutch saying)
- "I'm selling it because I just don't have time to get to it"
- "probably a fuse"
- "Clutch needs adjusting"
- "Needs a good wash"
- "It doesn't have MoT/MoT ends..., but it would pass no problem"
Ilias Lamari mechanics special!!!
Here in Romania, there are some sellers who also say that the car was owned by a doctor or a teacher who maintained it properly and only drove it to work and back. Such bullshit!
Also love your vids - keep up the good work!
I got a used car that really was owned by a little old lady and she had the interior detailed monthly. It was amazingly clean
Z John I desperately tried that! Old lady lived down the street from me with a beautiful 79 Cadillac coupe deville! It was white with perfect white leather interior and a original blue phantom top with 27,000 original miles in pristine condition that she kept in her garage. I offered her BANK for it a she wouldn’t sell. After she died it ended up going to her grandson cause his parents didn’t want it, he put 24 inch rims and a bad quality paint job on it, and six months later he was drunk and totaled it beyond repair and to the junk yard it went.
@@angeldesigns9064 That's a real shame, especially for a car that really is a classic! Some people just don't know what they have, either the original owner or the person that eventually receives the car, or both
Me too
Oh, that? That will buff right out. My _______ was going to do it, but they never had the time.
When I bought my Continental in 2002, it was from an elderly couple, where the "little old lady" had been the primary driver.
So, she is for real and a very sweet person. We stayed in touch and went back to see her in 2016, when she was 86.
It got me started uploading video clips, so she can see how her old car is doing. :-)
"200.000 miles. Right on the sweet spot"
They say that it’s in perfect condition even though it’s a pile of crap
Yep lol
"Owner was just a little old lady"
*Friccin monster truck with about 1000 hp*
*Someone wants to purchase your car*
*Removes 1320 Sticker from window*
*Removes Mexico keychain from keys*
"Been babied"
"Never driven hard"
Yup ran when parked was the words on the ad of my 1st car. A 1955 GMC farm truck with an Alaskan liscence plate marked April 1991. I got it to run May of 2016.
I like watching your videos, keep up the good work
" One careful lady owner"! Fourteen newly passed yobs!
"never raced" although sometimes this is true, it doesn't mean it wasn't drove hard, but you never know I guess
"mostly highway miles" guess that's less wear, but how do you know
"daily driven" I mean, I would hope it could be driven daily
Happend to me. When i bought my Wrx, he said "You can take it or *inhales* i can give it to the scrap yard. like TF?
More the what they say is what they do. Extremely cleaned, 10 minutes ago fully washed with soapy water still dripping is a total alarm ringer. I was offered one of these once. At the police inspection it turned out that the paint on the chassis number inside the engine bay was grinded for some reason, with the number still there. Needless to say I got the hell out of there
"Will sail through MOT" Why don't you MOT it then?
In case anyone doesn't know, the MOT is a annual test (most) cars have to have in the UK. It's no guarantee of roadworthiness but it's a good start.
In my country we got a saying he was driven by a old guy with a shorter right leg and he only drive it to shop when someone bull shit about the car he bought.
Hate to break it up, but some people think BMW is British because they think it stands for British Motor Company.
how does that even work? BMC? surely they at least think it's British Motor Works or something
Lol, the last one reminded me of my ex-girlfriend's VW Golf IV.
She bought it in 2010 (it was 12 years at that time!) with a very low mileage and in almost mint condition, from her grand aunt who - in fact - was a little old lady!! 😂
"Hasn't been detailed yet"
The most commonly used line at a car dealer ever!
When I hear "someone else is interested," I know right then I'm being ripped off. If it was such a good deal, nobody would need to say that to get a sale.
Nice vid bro
when someone says "was driven by eldery people" i always have vietnam flashbacks of burning clutches at 7.5k rpm
"That part is just $20"....well, a timing belt can be anywhere from $20 up to $50 typically....but unless you know how to change that yourself and re-time the engine, you're looking at 10x the cost of the belt MINIMUM to replace it....so yea "just a $20 part" can turn into a hell of a repair bill...
Low mileage: always be the most annoying things to buy a second hand car
You always see that on cars over 100,000kms. like yes, it's not extremely high, but if you're buying a daily with over 100,000kms, it's gonna have issues.
"First owner, dealer maintained"
aka The oil hasn't been changed a mile sooner than the schedule prescribes, the brake fluid is basically pure water, a few things have been 'fixed' and it's time to write the thing off before the engine and/or transmission shits itself.
The one thing that annoys me the most is when the seller says "All options for the model" and you clearly see there are missing at least 5. .....That's when I know I have to deal with a total imbecile, which don't know anything about the car.
Top spec, but what they don't tell you is that none of the optional stuff works anymore.
Thay say it has a tow package but the "tow package" is the tie down hook under the car used to tie it to a trailer.
"Never been used to tow" has an after market tow hitch fitted......
Another great vid!
Thanks!
Here in Serbia, infamous thing people do - since a lot of people work abroad is - selling a Mercedes with "my cousin bought it in Germany and maintained it there, all original, he works at xyz job in Frankfurt and gave me the car when he bought newer one"... If it is a Volvo, cousin would be in Sweden, a Peugeot would mean it was bought and maintained in France. Not a lot of Japanese or Korean car have this kind of sales tactic used on them, nobody would fall for it since very few people from Serbia live there.
Some sellers always say: This baby is upgraded with top tier engine parts. If they do say that. Ask if you could look under the hood and at the stock parts. If they deny. Walk away.
i did the "ran when parked" when selling my car less then a month ago. but it was just out of battery and the battery in the car was complete garbage. so the buyer brought a battery and it started like it had never done anything else
o we just had the oil and brakes changed this last year! pfttt the brakes actually hadn't been replaced in 3 years.
That depends a lot on the Nissan Sunny. the 90's Sunny GTI-R is already a classic and prices reflect this
Even the Titanic ran when parked. Doesn't mean it's a good value.
That's not even scratching the surface...
well either way what i tell them is: "I am here now and I am willing to negotiate, are we going to do this or shall I take my leave?"
I think we can all agree that the worst kind of used car sellers are the ones who don't even know what the spec or trim of their car is. Chances are, they literally don't care about their car or cars in general, and about 95% of the time they can't even present a full service history.
Car salesman after you bought it:
“You’re not gonna regret this”
My favorite: when they say "idk why it wont run" and it's a used volvo and I go unplug the MAF give them 500 dollars and drive it home.
my AC was only blowing heat I had to replace the valve flap that changed it from heat to cold air for about 60 bucks and it works great now
