Keeping your running Old used car is smart.
I agree but Unless repairs are more expensive than what is worth and the mileage so high it’s an actual loss. Repairing a 5k car with 5k of repairs is not a 10k car, at least insurance will screw you over if stolen/crashed.
@@manoloprprthose repairs may give you a few more years and if that’s the case, it might be worth it.
5k used cars usually need 1k to get everything up to snuff
Agreed, but sadly it’s that time for me to get something new
I've worked on so many rusty cars here in Ohio and I'm done. I've been buying new every 3yrs since 2019. Yes, I have a payment but having absolutely no issues since 2019 has been worth it
Same issues here in Pennsylvania. I daily an 07 Fusion to work. I love it, it's easy on gas and all that stuff, but I don't know how many more times I can patch the rocker panels.
I had an opportunity to buy a new high trim suv for less than a mid size suv.
So you have done it once.. aint you sumthin
Great observations on that F-150. Somebody dogged that one LOL
Thanks Jason for your honesty. That’s why I like this channel
Thank you
I completely agree with your view on used vehicles.
During Covid a used Tacoma was the same as a brand new. Was a no brainer.
I always buy new. I keep my cars for a long time..Ive leased before when I could not find something I wanted and that worked out good.
Thats why I always buy brand new but base model or lowest trim.
In May I bought a 22 Nissan Frontier S (base model) 4x4. It was a Certified Preowned with less than $20k. Truck was in immaculate shape. $25k OTD with remaining of 7yr, 100k warranty.
I did a little miscalculation on my finances this year, paid off my house but it drained my savings account. No big deal as I had no other bills beside utilities. Then my car broke down and the cost to get it going again just wasn’t financially worth it. So I financed the truck. I didn’t have any another mortgage payment just for a vehicle. So I went used but at a price that’s comparable to what the truck should be MSRP from factory.
But those were the times we were in 6 -7!months ago.
Bought my 23 tacoma gold certified used. Bone stock. Underneath is clean, no scratches or dings, bed is clean.
Believe it or not there are people in this world that can afford nothing but a used vehicle.
By time you pay taxes and higher interest rate the used one cost more. If you trade in towards new one it cancels out sales tax on new one
I was looking at a used 2024 F250 Tremor with 1,800 miles. I had warranty concerns because the owner had equipped it with a heavy duty front bumper. The salesman said the Ford dealership had done the work and it would not effect the warranty. It was a certified vehicle which is crucial at that price. I didn’t catch that until you explained it. Keep up the good work, your knowledge and expertise is a true safety net…
Thank you. Glad you are enjoying the videos
Excellent presentation Jason! Very informative. Thank you for sharing.
I've bought 18+ vehicles during my previous years. A few brand new and most were used / pre-owned "for cash"!. For me, I look at a vehicle's build weakness after 3 years usage, vehicle's engine/tranny weakness and analyze from there. Let others "flush the weak parts out". smiles. I also look at weakness and determine if I can make better than factory myself - like remove Auto stop/start engine, Disable AFM, add better side mirrors, add better shocks, raise higher off the ground (to be gentle on the bad back), etc. etc. Most of my bought vehicles last 10+ years. My one current vehicle is 14 years old and it's still doing great. My other current vehicle is 4 years old and I plan to keep for another 10 years. And yes, I change my own engine oil / filter, change my own air filters / cabin filters, my own headlights / wiper blades and grease my own underbelly moving parts. I even swap my own summer to winter tires. I even do my own brake (brake pads, rotors, cylinders) replacements. Only thing I contract out is Krown Rust Proofing its underbelly "every other" year. Every year is a waste! Saved monies allowed me to send 2 kids to university - each of them got double diplomas - for their Plan A and Plan B careers (and both are now doing great in life). Yes. Vehicles are expensive to buy, maintain and fix. Pick wisely to start. After sales, the more you do yourself the more dollars you save (for more important things in life - like your kids future)!
I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you. Only bad thing for me is I’m Canadian so prices you mention are different and more expensive here.
Thanks. Yep the prices in Canada are alot more than here.
July 2024 bought a 2006 miata. The previous owner had put new transmission pan gasket new valve cover gasket new sway bars new fabric convertible top and new matching tires. Original glossy paint.I am the eighth owner. Looks and drives virtually new. Great Carfax. $8900 and trouble-free. Good deals can be had!
I’m 65, I’ve bought new two times, and never financed new or used , no major issues at all,with used .
Warranty is everything with the disposal able cars made today. You sir are correct!!
I purchased a used 2010 Ford Taurus with 37k miles in 2013 which was a former rental. I still own it today (155k miles) and have only had two minor repairs under the hood: the oxygen sensor and the high-pressure steering hose. It purrs like kitten still. Best car I ever owned.
My grandparents always bought new, but they drove their last car for 33 years and their last pickup for 30 years. By that time they are able to pay cash for the new vehicle. My grandpa always said don't buy someone else's wore out junk. Used vehicles that are wore out with 200,000 miles people want close to the price of new. It's a no brainer.
That interesting. I just bought a used 21 f150 Lariat with 32000 miles. It cost me about 20,000 less than buying new and I do all my own maintenance. I have a 5 year warranty. I will drive it past 200,000 miles. I prefer to buy used like new.
PS I would agree with you on the newer used vehicles these days. Most of the newer vehicles we saw while looking, even 1 to 3 yrs old, was unbelievably thrashed and ill maintained. Did not used to be that way in years past.
Yep times have changed and repairs are too expensive and cars too complex today
I have owned 8 vehicles my entire life. All used and paid cash. My current vehicle I have had owned for 12 yrs and do the maintenance and most repairs myself. However, my next vehicle will be new and I will buy for cash. With today's vehicles, I want the factory warranty and want to ensure it has been maintained correctly.
Can 100% understand that
seen the prices of used in HD segment and would buy new 100%
Man you're spot on Jason with the worn tires
Crazy isn't it
Got 06 Corolla and I fix it my self 👍
Finding a used 2015 - 2017 F-150 5.0L 6 speed is a great find
In my hurricane prone area with flooding, buying used is a crap shoot. Many flooded vehicles end up on the market with no damage history.
@@barthutchison4207 excellent point. Didn't even think about flood vehicles
Everything is relative. Bottom line, if you find a quality used vehicle that has been taken care of, you’ll always get better value. The challenge is finding a good one. I’ve bought used the last 3 cars and have been fortunate to buy solid ones. I like owing the top trims but don’t like paying the premium so I buy a year or 2 old vehicle with less than 30k miles and pay base model price for a premium trim vehicle.
I've helped several people run the numbers and sometimes it's the same price or actually cheaper to get brand new.
@@shannoncasper8670 yep agree 100%
As is- no warranty, means no deal as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want to back your product, I don't want it. People always say to me "well you work on your own cars, so what do you care?" I care because more than likely, if you are not willing to back your product for even a few months, than it's likely been rode hard and put away wet, and will be a massive problem.
Factory warranties are always still in effect if it’s within the age and mileage of the warrranty. Who cares what warranty the dealer offers, I only care about the factory warranties. If you buy a vehicle with 15k miles on it then you have all the factory warranties. Now, buying a 6 year old vehicle that’s out of all factory warranties is a gamble that I wouldn’t want to take personally but in the end the factory warranties don’t disappear because it’s a used vehicle.
Completely Agree.
I look forward to your daily posts, always I formative. Thank you
Thank you
I have been preaching for years NOT to buy a used up vehicle. Buy what you can afford to pay off in 3 years. Or all at once if you can.
Nothing worse than having to make payments and having an expired warranty, with a pricey systems failure. Now you have to pay out twice. On the note and on the repairs.
If all you can afford is a Toyota Corrola, so be it. One needs to find the difference between wants and needs. One needs a ride to work. One doesn't necessarily need to be in a GT Ford Mustang to make that happen...
Agree
BIG THANKS MR SAMKO , IVE NEEDED A USED CAR VIDEO , THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION, GREAT CHANNEL KEEP IT UP.
This is a GREAT video Jason. I was in car sales for a short time and you’re exactly right. People pull up and see a shiny used car and think hey that’s nice and it’s used so it’s cheaper. And there’s no damage listed on their inspection. Must be great! But two things: like Jason said: you don’t know the WEAR on the vehicle. The tires might not be flat but were they abused. Not rotated properly. Is the drivetrain not broken but was it rode too hard. Things that are totally unknowns. And the other big thing: the markup. Dealers love putting you in used vehicles because they Jack the price up of almost every trade in they get. Dealers are like magicians… they’ll have you looking in this hand so the dirty secret in the other hand is not revealed… to put it simple you might ‘widdle them down’ a full thousand dollars! … while they have 6 grand of markup in that vehicle. Aka they’re making 5 grand more than that vehicle is actually worth (and that is IF there is no lurking issues with the vehicle)… I was scammed by the very dealership I worked for trading in for a used vehicle and it took me a long time to realize it. Ever since then I highly recommend buying new or leasing new. Markup in new vehicles is (usually) way low and you know there is absolutely no concerns about the vehicles wear and tear AND you have a full bumper to bumper warranty to back you. New is the only way I’d go unless it’s a great deal or bought from an independent party
Excellent points and agree 100%
It’s after watching these types of videos that I wish I was older and had the opportunity to buy a truly reliable vehicle new and maintain it. Unfortunately, there aren’t really many options for a 20 year old especially with all the extra precautions needed to buy a used car.
I live in Arkansas. Always buy my trucks used with low mileage
You definitely have a point...
My world war II era dad used to say, when you buy used you're buying somebody else's problems and he would NEVER EVER buy a used car. At 62, I've bought mostly used cars throughout my lifetime, being careful with my choices. However, I finally got stung. We just bought a super clean looking 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium from an older guy who claimed he was super thorough with his servicing (retired engineer!). Carfax showed virtually no services because he said he'd done it all himself. Made sense. After buying it, we discovered he had carefully concealed the fact that it had been leaking oil, and I mean from EVERYWHERE you can imagine! Including the rear main seal. My mistake was doing my own inspection and not having a reputable shop do it. Obviously, no warranty from an individual, but I guess my only consolation is that we paid about 4 to 5,000 less than a dealer would have charged for the same thing. I think the older severely cracking tires should have been a bit of a red flag to me!! Still not convinced we should have bought new because we paid cash and a new 2024 version of the same would have cost way over double what we paid.
@@steved0603 sucks you had to go thru that. Alot of shady people out there
Toyota wanted us to change the oil every 10K. I still change it every 4K
Very good job. 10k is way too long
I change my oil every 4K miles. Chevy has the direct injection so changing the oil at 4K mile intervals is worth the money.
Smart! I change mine every 4k...owners manual says 6500....that's just way to long imo....that's in my work truck....my work truck has 320,000 miles on it and still running good!
I bought 2005 Civic in 2007. I was looking at it and my dad noticed there were some little, hard -to-see scratches on the plastic piece by the window button. My dad said I bet that is from a little dog. So, we “guessed” lol that the owner had a small dog that rode in the car with them. From that we “guessed” it was an older person and I bought the car!
I always buy new because the cost difference isn't large enough to consider used. I'm also very particular about maintenance and with seemingly everything modern being a turbo and loaded with electronics, I don't want to chance it.
@@Xandil agree
Bought a used 2020 Ranger. Saved a lot by not going new. 27k miles. Can't spend 50k on a new truck, it's crazy these days
The truck could be out of alignment on the front and the tires rotated to the rear or worn so uneven on the front that they were recently replaced, with the rear being original.
Agree that buying 2-5 year old cars is risky nowadays.. CPOs generally cost more than “used” but some manufactures have pretty good warranties and you may get lucky and find a really low mileage current model year CPO that was a dealer loaner or whatever (with a better than new warranty)
Dealer loaner is worse. It’s practically a rental car. Easily has hundreds of “owners”.
As the saying goes…most vehicle accidents happen on the showroom floor. Buying used always makes more sense. Either certified preowned or buy an extended warranty.
If you are buying late model, low mileage vehicles the dealer warranty is still valid and interest rates are the same as new.
The back tires like that Ford truck may be caused by heavy loads and towing. I was looking at a truck one time that had the same thing--they even re painted the trailer hitch to try and hide it. No telling what the transmission condition was...
Every oil change for me is also a tire rotation. F150 in this video says no tire rotation
Same here!
I bought 8 cars /trucks in my lifetime .. and all of them have been brand new. I shopped for late model used ones but always find the best deals on new ones. Some I have bought at the end of the year and I wheeled and dealed .. and even had to travel 1-2 hrs away from my local dealer .. but I got excellent prices with 100% warranty and never got a lemon. I maintained my cars very well and most make it to 200k or 300k plus miles .. as I drive alot. (a few were totaled in accidents) at a young age. A brand new leftover with a big discount, low interest rate is your best buy.
Agree
Used to me is almost a bad deal across the board for any newer vehicle. I own two used vehicles one I've had for nearly 17 years. It was the first vehicle I ever bought and 4.5 years old at the time. It's been an amazing truck and I will never sell it.
My new truck will be brand new. You proved your point even further by that F-150. That's a 2015-2017 F-150. It's nearly 10 years old and those trucks cost way into the '30s if they are lower miles and in good shape today. You can go buy a brand new one that's so much more modern with a full warranty for in the 40s to '50s. I have found that 10-year-old vehicles are still so expensive.
I don't know of many quality vehicles that people actually would like that are much less than 20 to 25,000 now. Most vehicles are 30s to 50s. Very very difficult to find a quality vehicle for a reasonable price unless you find a unicorn. I've been blessed to find two unicorns which I still own them, but that's not the norm and I'm not looking for a needle in a haystack for my next truck lol.
Picked up a 2022 ram1500 laramie 4xr4 with 5.7 hemi for 37 OTD with 43k miles. Got the factory mopar bumper to bumper warranty for an additional 5yr 70000 miles warranty for $4900
Congratulations on a great truck
@ thank you!
Any used vehicle I’d research for problems, If a relative or friend was selling it I may take a chance on a used vehicle, but most of the time I wouldn’t and I’d buy new. For me used has too many surprises. The warranty maybe over on used.
We love your videos jason
Thank you
Bought a used 2019 Tacoma from rust free zone soon as I got it whole undercarriage was sprayed with fluid film and Telwax looks new
Perfect
I got a used Jeep 2 Door jeep 2018 JK Willy with 63,500 miles. The deal went through it they put $3000 into had it inspected they said it needed new tires because they where loud. Took it to my friend to inspection I got for $20,000 it was mint under it. My nephew works for jeep he look up history of it and only had one recalled on always served by jeep. They are good deals out there. Plus it was the last year for steal jeeps.
Congratulations on your new jeep! Sounds like a great deal on a great vehicle
@ look at a lot of them got lucky found a nice last year Jk they made 2 million hopefully they got it right at the end.
I love your videos!
Thank you
Thanks for the info.
You rite brother I brought my 2015 Buick lacrosse used with a warranty it's been a good car when I got it had 77k miles on it now it has 161k on issues I had was wheel bearings one on the front and one on the rear and the boot on the drive shaft was leaking grease cause it's all wheel drive my warranty cover that I had it almost 4 years no money out my pocket yet also brought a 2008 Chevy trailblazer 12 years ago with 70k miles on it I had to replace a few small things that goes out on them and front wheel bearings I'm on my 3rd set but the truck has 301k on it now I drive it to work everyday still going strong cause I know what look for I'm driving my vehicles till the wheels fall off
Perfect
Its possible the uneven tires could be that two of the tires were replaced at different time window. Why? That is another guess.
Possibly. But I'm bettingnit was burnouts and donuts
The trick to buying used is buy from grandpa who keeps his vehicle in the garage.
I agree 100% I don’t buy used myself and the vehicles cost more sometimes than a new vehicle or the same tires might be new on the front of that truck. Maybe they had front end issues and it wore the tires out weird which means even more problems I like new cause I break my stuff in proper the brakes the clutch the engine everything.
@dominica2765 yep I much prefer new or used from a person i know and trust
10k mile oil changes? HELL NO!
@@mudman242001 very well said
I can never go back to buying used given that people typically don't maintain their vehicles
Agree 100
Where i live in Michigan there are so many trucks with mud tires that never even see a dirt road. Mud tires are generally softer tires too, which would amplify the wear on the front tires with the majority of the weight being on the front tires. Skip 1 rotation on the pavement princess, and trade it in when the dealer gets it and rotates the tires, suddenly we have an abused truck no question? Please
Come on really. You tlreally think that is from not rotating..lot of great tire wear info out there if you want to research it a bit
@Jason-Samko you are the expert on all things vehicles..
I brought new and used, the problem with new is fixing it under a warranty.
Domestic always robbing thier customers nothing new lmao 🤣
I always made extra payments whether new or used.
Ironic you mentioned vehicles coming from Canada. I've a number of these in our area N.E. Ohio. I wonder what's up with that?
It was a problem in Michigan as well. Has to do with where and how they export import them across the boarder
Regardless of manufacture recommendation, i always change my oil every 5k
Agree 100
Can find some decent deals from Ford on there Gold Certified Used Cars. The 23 f350 DRW I'm looking at comes with 84 months or 100k miles powertrain warranty it's the only used truck I've found with more than 3 months of warranty. Only $6,400 for the premium maintenance package for 84 months of service. Looked at new but would have to pay quite a bit more and I could only get the very bottom of the line Trim and about 8-10k lbs less towing capacity.
Paying 30 or 40 grand is not a used price imo especially with no warranty. We bought both our vehicles used Scion xb 2006 10grand Ford f150 2010 13 grand and still own them and we take excellent care of them.
why do you only go on the car lot when there closed
So I don't have to worry about filming customers on the lot or interrupt sales guys showing trucks to customers. I have amazing relationships with almost the dealersbi go to and make all my vehicle reviews at those dealerships. I do these types of videos after hours or on Sundays out of respect for the dealers and customers as well as to make it easier for me to not have to edit or avoid areas where people are on the lot
Unless the dealer selling it has done the service on it they will not no if has been served good
The truck would have been hard no because it has eco boost. But your point is taken. Closely inspect, check for leaks, see story car fax provides, dont buy a new generation of model most importantly for me is to buy a reliable vehicle after researching common problems with that model and focusing your inspections there.
Never buy more vehicle than you should. Especially used because this isn't the time to shop for what you want but rather what you need. "Look at this nice limited edition, somebody else already took the financial hit". Except over the last four years somebody plus their kids, and whoever else, beat that thing into the ground. Never warmed it up and then smashed on the gas to get to work. Threw it into reverse and then dropped it into drive without first stopping completely. Now who is taking the financial hit?
I haven't bought used in 20 years because I'm sick of paying for other peoples neglect. If you must buy used then really try to buy from somebody you personally know and trust.
@@Scroll_Lock agree 10000% exactly spot on
Why do u like being at the dealerships at night time?
@phillipmorton6020 so I don't have customers and sales guys walking in and out of my video and I can wander the whole lot without fear of interrupting people. It quiet and easier.
I don't know how other people think but if I see a Trailor hitch on a SUV or Truck, I don't want it, because I assume the Transmisson and engine were worked hard that shortened its life span, and I would not buy a newer vehicle with a lot of mileage even if it was in excellent condition and the book price said it was worth what was being asked, Because even if something is well taken care of
and they say miles don't matter on newer vehicle, it does to me, because wear is wear, another thing that makes me pause is if a Hyundai or Kia dealership have a nice used one owner Toyota, Honda, Mazda vehicle on their lot for sale, it makes me wonder why someone would trade down from a vehicle renowned for their reliability and build quality for one with a worse record , makes me think the last owner had problems and gave up on that brand, because most of the time people are brand loyal and will trade in for another at a Honda, Toyota dealership
@@bluemouse5039 great points
I would only buy a used vehicle if I personally knew the previous owner and knew how it was treated. Other than that, no thanks.
@@shannoncasper8670 agree
Hey Jason, its Jason here. Every automotive manufacturer has its gems and its garbage. Do your research. Here's a few tips... Never buy anything with a "Cam Belt" or "CVT" or anything from any manufacturer with a 3.7 liter . There are many, many more. But im not going to tell you. Do your research and earn the knowledge for yourself. Also the newer Toyota cars and trucks are not the same as they used to be. Back in 80's, 90's and 2000's when they used "Grade AAA" parts and tolerances were much tighter. Today grade B parts are used and they don't give a shit about longevity. Bad designs and terrible quality.
Noooo those are the new drag radials tires you wear down yourself.......😂 Whatach call Micky stickys aka you makem Sticky😂
Carfax is only as good as the reports it gets. I had a vehicle that was crashed and it was never added to carfax and showed clean no accidents.
My local dealer has 18 used 2023 Nissan Frontiers. Doesn't the original factory warranty transfer on 2 year old vehicles? I've been considering an SV or Pro4x. Prices on them range from $27k for an S model..up to $36k for Pro4x with 9000miles. Still thinking about it lol..
Yes fsctory warranty does and the cpo warranty applies also
You can not always tell the maintenance on a used vehicle
@@rickyarmstrong9267 very true
Every 3000 miles or 3 months for oil changes on my vehicles
Perfect
@Jason-Samko especially on my 2000 ford mustang gt convertible
All I've ever owned is used stuff.. but if you're only saving 8g on a 40 plus thousand vehicle why would anyone buy used?.
i thing everyone has bought a new car and gave way to much for it and now no one needs a car anymore ,
Your gonna spend thereabouts of $10k to fix/maintain your car/truck after a couple years or north of 100k miles
Or your gonna pay $10k more on the new one with sticker prices or finance rates
Either option you wanna pay now to fix or
On the back end for new not not escaping it
Like he said in another of his videos they all suck now! Choose your suck! lol. 😆
Well said and agree 100
Also, my same 2024 gladiator goes for 39k in Mexico. What a ripoff
Warranty is like insurance when you need it they will say oh it doesn't cover that
First to comment… 🤙
Carfax is only accurate if the insurance company paid for the collion repair. Body shops don't have to record private party repairs
Use is all 60 % of people can buy these days
Worse yet..it has 1 quart of oil in the crankcase
No warranty???... No sale to me😊😊😊😊
Pretty weird video. Don’t buy used because some cars on a random dealership you’re at doesn’t have warranties? Also, used car interest rates have nothing to do with some conspiracy for “people to get money out of you.” It’s because the collateral on the loan is a higher risk to the lender.
I change my tacomas oil every 5K miles, fuck 10K
I drive calmly and smoothly, change oil twice a year.
We will likely own in for 10 years.
So it makes sense to buy new.
fool to buy brand new why pay depreciation, buy off lease that are 2-3 yrs old with warranty
It could also be that like me only buy two tires at a time and want to put the new tires on the front for safety
For safety put the best to the back on all vehicles. I think they may have been trying to stretch a dollar and put the less worn out ones to the rear to stagger the replacement cost.
Buying a used vehicle to save what? $4,000-$5,000 for the unknowns to remain? No, thanks.
Just buy a cheap, safe, and reliable vehicle. $400 car payment is very reasonable until it’s paid off and once it is……maintain it as much as possible. Who wants to chance high probability of used car issues? I know I don’t. I work too much to take time off of work.
@@sweetsteven217 time off of work running to repair shops is a great point as well
@ yup. Especially, in my industry. I can’t tell you how many men miss work within 6 months because of “car issues”. In our world, you lose approximately $250 a day by not show up.
No warranty. And you spend thousands of dollars for something that is not really worth it. Something with a bunch of sensors that mechanics with poor skill never will figure out the issues.
