Extended warranty - they collect money and deny the majority of claims for repairs their warranty claims to cover. Ive seen bumper to bumper drivetrain extended warranty, yet 99. 9% of the time they refuse to pay when something happens, and when they do they will only pay for refurbished parts and 20/hr labor rate. Oh that CV joint is suspension not drivetrain, claim denied, that transmission control module is electrical, not drivetrain; claim denied, and so on. Even when it is something that is undeniably drivetrain such as a transmission, engine, axle, or drive shaft, they claim it is not covered under pre-existing condition or driver abuse exclusion.

Lots of Craigslist Scammers. here is the biggy. buyer sends you a Bank Check or Company Check for well more than the asking price, tells you to deposit the check and give the difference in price back to the transport person or someone else. Takes quite awhile for a check to clear completely, your bank may cash it but if its a BAD Check your bank will come back at you. I got one yesterday from a College Account, called the college and of course it was BOGUS. I like to play with the scammers and make them spend their money on overnight Fedex when they send the check. HaHa, Now the Scammer is out the Fedex Cost

When I bought my wife a new Sienna with all the bells and whistles the dealer offered an extended warranty, but would refund the entire price if you didnt use it by the end of the term of the warranty. It was a Toyota, so I knew I probably didnt need it. But if things like the electric sliding doors and the 6 CD disc changer went out, I knew they could cost more than the warranty. As predicted, the Sienna made it through the warranty period without a problem, and I got all my money back.

Worst cars I ever worked on were auction cars. Often dealers dumped the cars they could not fix or figure out at the auction. One auction car, every time I set the timing, it would be off again a few minutes later. Eventually figured out the cam was split in two, and the two halves of the cam were shifting back and forth where it was cracked. (Distributor driven off the back of the cam) Lots of nightmare stories on auction cars. Not that you cant find a deal, but its very risky.

Its better to buy a car from a dealer than an owner, atleast I can go back to the dealer if anything happens, but if he is the owner, I cant see the seller again even if the car breaks after 5 minutes. Dealers usually service the cars, they are required to smog the cars and follow the safety feature laws, but an owner is not. We sell our cars mostly when they start to give us headaches, so you are not safe because you bought it from an owmer.

Great video, especially the part about automatic transmissions. I have a 2008 Grand Caravan SE with 190, 000 miles and the original transmission. Oil and filter change at 105k (manufacturer recommended 110k) and another at 175k. Theres absolutely nothing wrong or off about how it performs. I have always driven the speed limit and never spun the tires. Easy does it, never in a hurry. Thats the trick.

Hi Scotty, just out of curiosity; have you ever had any complaints from your neighbors while you were working outside? Especially when you are burning tires with the Shelby and loud motorcycle. I really need to know what is like living next to a lively fellow like yourself. My neighbors hate when I work on my car outside but I always just remember if Scotty can do it I can too.

As far as Im concerned if somebody cant do something like changing oil or throwing on and already inflated spare tire or rotating their tires if they are not directional maybe they shouldnt have a car to begin with unless its a physical limitation or it involves a car with a manufacturer made it so you cannot change your own oil which clearly is a car not worth buying.
