      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.

    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.

    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…

    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)!

    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.

    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.

    • @roycemartin9068

      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.

    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...

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
