    Vehicles filmed at Dealerships are For Sale. Make sure to visit the dealerships website for detail info about each vehicle. If your watching a video thats older than 90 days you can expect that vehicle to most likely already being sold, unless its a new car.
    FYI - Charleston Car Videos on UA-cam Started in 2011. Back in 2008 is when I started filming cars as a car salesman to give people a better way to see a new or used vehicle. Over the years I ended up selling over 450 vehicles from doing videos. Today 1000's of vehicles have sold from people watching my car reviews in America.

    What a joke, the car is a total wreck and he’s trying to make it sound like a winner. He just put tires on it yet says they are 17s and clearly they are 18s. Got warning lights out the ass and leather is all torn up. Tune up is an understatement, ass.

    I own one of these in really nice shape that I have kept up in mint condition. I like how fast these are and the reliability is good. To anyone who buys these, keep up on the fluid services and the car does not respond well to failure to keep up services.
    The example you have looks like one that would be good for someone looking for a running daily driver.
    One of the issues I always have with mine is struts breaking.

    Well if someone is revving it at 6,000 rpm, ignoring dash lights and running it while its on E. With break in attempts, then there are gonna be problems. Unfortunately this is the car that many will just let this happen to, because it costs more to keep than to buy.

      I agree. Beating on any car is plain dumb. I have babied our '09 RDX. 157,000 miles and going strong. Just glad the price of 91-93 octane has dropped. The colder it gets here in NW Ohio, the faster the mpgs drop. 19-20 mpg is about the best I can expect in cold weather.
