I work at a dealership, and a older gentleman came into today using this checklist to purchase a vehicle from us. Thought that was pretty awesome!

11:33 Chris: "Can you pop the hood?" Owner: *sweats intensely*

Where were you 30 plus years ago when I was making all the mistakes? I do hope young people see this amazing free guide, it’s easy to see why you have so many subscribers.

"Hey, video boy. It's been an hour!! Do you want the damn car or not??"
-
You say "if you see this walk away" I hear "if you see this you are justified in lowballing the hell out of your offer and listing all the issues to the seller"
-
that guy was probably shiting bricks hoping chris didnt find nothing wrong with the car.

Thank you Chris...I believe this video helped me save ~$30,000 today. I watched this video last night (among others of yours on used auto buying) in preparation to look at a low mileage (<40,000 miles) 2015 Toyota Tundra Limited near New Orleans, LA. We drove ~2.5 hours one way to look at that truck. After getting there I started your check-list...opened up the oil fill cap and there were thin films of white, milkly oil near the opening...inside the cap itself was white sludge like oil too. After that, I also found the power steering pump leaking fluid while it was idling. We left the truck there and just came home. Just wanted to say thank you. You make great videos and I believe you helped me and my family save lots of cash today.

Kudos to the guy for being so chill. Not many people would do that.
-
after watching this I feel like need to walk away from my own car :)
-
If the seller doesn’t slap roof of the car don’t buy it’s a scam
-
-
My tip: fender and trunk lid bolts are usually painted matching the car's colour. If the bolts are scratched or unpainted, its an obvious indicator that that pannel has been changed or tampered with.
-
My tip: kick the tyres so seller knows you’re serious
-
The Seller: "So, are you going to buy it?" Chris: "Naw"
-
A good tip is to find out how long the car has been for sale. If it has been for sale a long time (over 2 weeks), it is either over priced or there are significant issues with the car. This can help you get a much lower than asking price.
-
The car seller told me that if the car was in good condition, he wouldn't be selling his car to me.
-
This video literally saved me from wasting 10k on a car today. Thank you dude!!
-
A+ on your production quality, man. No BS, no filler, no tacky 30 second intro, and all high quality delivery on solid info. You deserve every subscriber and view you get. Thank you!

4:16 - That's not a frame cross member, that is the bumper absorption beam. It is meant to bend like that upon impact and should not affect the frame unless the impact is severe (at which point you'll have more than just that beam pushed inward). They can be replaced with relative ease.

Do people do these checks when buying a used car from a dealer because I want to make sure of my purchase so I am literally going to be doìng all of these. I will have my flashlight, paper towels and everything in my handbag 😂
