Wait, thats not the way a bond works. A bond is in an insurance policy. Ive worked for insurance companies that sold them. If the car dealer has a million dollar bond, it is not a pot of a million dollars that you can easily go to and get reimbursed if the seller doesnt give you your money back or fix the car. The seller doesnt deposit a million bucks some where. They pay a premium to an insurance company of an amount that is some small fraction of the bond value. Lets say 5, 000 or 10, 000 for that million dollar bond. If the professional car seller doesnt follow the law and do what theyre supposed to, you can take them to court. If you win but the seller does not have the money to pay you. Say they cheated a bunch of people and now the chested customers are all in line to collect. the seller goes bust. then you have the ordeal of filing a claim against the bond (really an insurance policy) with the insurance company who is going to lose their shirt on that bond, and try to collect from them. And if they dont pay then you can sue them. Which youll probably not recover your legal costs for suing either the seller or the insurance company. A bond is good but its not like it will make your ordeal of dealing with a dishonest seller a walk in the park thats not going to suck away your time and money. Theres no sugar coating on it.

I'm not so sure that you're right about that dealer obligation on the first vehicle. Normally if they knew this was a pre-existing condition then they would've sold it as is and this does resolve them of obligation in many states. There must be a buyer's guide on the window that states what, if any warranty it has. This is federal FTC law, but there is no federal requirement to even a 3 day return period. It's subject to being a dealer discretion offer and definitely varies by state to even get 3 days, let alone longer. There are several states that don't allow as is sales but here is the list of those states and I don't see TX on it. Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and the District of ColumbiaThere might be a warranty of merchantability that applies but you'd have to prove the problem existed which is usually difficult unless you have it in a written inspection report because you had a 3rd party inspect it before purchase and then if you did, why would you have bought it?

I wonder if there is any automobile manufacturer that doesn't make a weak automatic transmission. The woman I met in late 2001 who became my wife bought a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu from the Used Car lot at a local Oldsmobile dealership not long after we met. That car had 30, 000 miles on it then. In mid-2007 I traded the Malibu in on a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado at a Used-up Car lot. (A Used Car lot is at a New Car dealership. A Used-up Car lot are the trade-ins the New Car dealership sent straight to the auction. Between late 2001 and mid-2007 the Malibu accumulated 192, 000 miles. The only issues I had were replacing the intake gaskets twice within 80, 000 miles of each other, the master window switch set up for the driver's door and the light bulb socket assembly for the passenger rear tail-lamp. Now, my 2000 Silverado has almost 200, 000 miles and I ain't in any hurry to get rid of it

The other way to answer the question about the Canadian card at -15C is that no, wind chill does nothing to make a car colder than if there was no wind, if it has sat out long enough to already get down to -15C. If it wouldn't have gotten that cold yet, wind chill will accelerate the rate at which it cools down to -15C. Wind chill will also increase the amount of time it takes your defroster or defogger to become effective and how long it takes the engine to warm up unless you are driving the same direction as the wind. Having written that much, if it's not a terrible inconvenience then I would hook the heater up at -15C, but it doesn't get that cold here, does get as cold as -9C and I've never had any plastic cracking issues at that temp, though I don't have vinyl seats and am pretty gentle on a vehicle, letting the defroster get some heat into it before trying to operate it.

Hey Scotty, I can't believe I saved myself alotta headache with stiff steering wheel, I took my car to 2 mechanics and they said everything is fine, so I waited a few more days not working on it (delivery job) so I said I gotta follow Scotty's advice about with Seafoam Trans and there I did today. I followed every steps you mentioned on the video and now my steering work just like brand new. Do people ever thank you or I missed it? I know you have alotta haters but I'm sure you have alotta fans too. Btw I ordered your shirt and I'm gonna proudly wear it when I'm dashing or ubering

Scotty, I'm a couple of years older than you, disabled, living on Social Security, and can no longer do car repairs or afford another one. I have to make do with my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. which is running on 2 or 3 cylinders most of the time. I've had the injectors and coil replaced, and still get codes, rough running, and the check engine light is always flashing. It's all I have. It has the 6 cylinder, 2WD, and 330, 000 miles. Yes, 330, 000 miles i just wish it would run as good as it looks. Any ideas for this old goat?

It seem the German cars in the USA have much more problems that here in Europe. I have bought Audi, VW and BMW over my life and generally only have little problems over their lifespan with me. The only real issue I had was with a CVT transmission on a new Audi. I sold it straight away and never bought another CVT vehicle. Also there are plenty of ancient, scrappy Audi and BMW vehicles running around on the roads. I wonder why they go so wrong so quickly in the States?

Hi Scotty I have a 2016 outlander which is the bigger one 3rd row and I love it so far got a good deal with only 4500 miles on it. If you replace CVT fluld every 30k like you are suppose too it will hold up. I do my own oil changes every 7k with Pennzoil and a great filter as well. But yeah I know it's not a Toyota but for the price I couldn't go wrong. Has 40k now never had a issue. I drive it 80 miles a day 5 days a week mostly hoghway.

My mothers car has a vibration at 65-70 MPH, seems to come from the front, and it make the whole car shake. The wheels have been aligned, and the tires are balanced. If you have any ideas I would appreciate it, since the vibration/shake has been happening for years now and the cause has yet to be found(to be fair we have neither the money to fix, nor have looked into it very deeply.
