Why Not to Buy a Salvage Car - YouTube

rev up your engines, combo says should I buy a used car with a

salvage title, what is a salvage title thanks from Hawaii, not a good idea ever to

buy a car with a salvage title, a salvage title means this, an insurance company

totaled that vehicle, was either wrecked, flooded, stolen, smashed up, something bad

happened to it, then somebody buys that car from the insurance company really

cheap, so you're getting a car that was totally by an insurance company, and

insurance companies told them for very good reasons, they don't just ladi da

Oh well will total this one, we won't total that one, no when they really messed up

they told them, so it's never a good idea to buy those, the only way that it's good

is if you know the truth, like if you see one and it's got dings all over the roof

in the hood from hail damage, then an insurance company will total it, if it

was only hail damage the car could run perfectly fine, you'd just be driving

around with a car that's got a million dimples in it, Brant says a brand new Lexus ES

300H is it a good car to buy, their well-made cars, but like I always say I

am NOT a fan of hybrid cars, their technology is so high and when they do

break down it costs so much, I've had customers buy Lexus hybrids and loved the

car, until they got to be eight or nine years old, and when stuff started to

break, Oh man those parts were expensive on those cars, even something

like the switch for the electric windows the main one were like 400

something dollars for a little switch assembly, they are expensive as they age

I personally if I was getting a Lexus I'd get a non-hybrid, it's your money do whatever

you want with it, but just realize as it ages you're gonna have much higher

repair bills with a hybrid than you are with a non hybrid, Nicolas Provo says both

my front brake hoses blew after I hit a pothole,

how can this happen, well you must have a pretty old car, because the brake hoses

are made under a burst pressure that's supposed to be about ten times what

you're normally going to step on it you must have an old vehicle, I'm

assuming you hit a pothole and if it was a really deep pothole, it's gonna make

your tires go really down and then up and cram them in, that's gonna stretch

the hoses, and being old and having them stretched,

that's probably what popped them, realize your hoses are to let the suspension go

up and down and your wheels to turn and of course the most their ever gonna do is

you hit a big pothole and they're gonna go down, and then when you come up they're

gonna go up, and that could be enough to actually rip them and make them tear

when they're old, maxim kelly says hey scotty what do you think about learning

to drive a manual transmission, it's a good idea you know I mean I learned on

an automatic chevy and then I bought an Opel when I was a kid, I already have

my license, it took me five minutes to learn how to drive a standard

transmission cuz I already knew how to drive, in my father's generation where

they learned how to drive on a standard transmission, whoo wee man that would

have been hard to do, cuz getting the clutch, the peddle and the brake and

everything all set up, and you're learning how to drive, that's a hard deal,

but once you already have a license and you know how to drive, the best thing is

they all have hyrdaulic clutches and the shifter is usually on the floor very

smooth, they're very easy to learn how to drive, you can do it in an empty parking

lot on the weekend somewhere, it's the best way to do it, it's how I taught my kids,

the acerbic atheist says, how do I get smell

from spilled bong water out of seat, ha ha good look at that one, I found that

the best thing to do, that resolve cleaner that comes in a spray can and

red spray can, that stuff's pretty good, it's got I guess the same thing as that

oxy cleaner they used to advertise on TV, and it's pretty good at getting

stains and smells out, and what you can also do is, there are guys you can pay

they will ultrasonically clean your seats, and then they have really good

cleaners that can not only suck that all out, they can do it three or four times

they can have special ionic cleaners, that they'll stick in the whole car and

leave it there all night, full blast to try to get all the stench out of the car and

sometimes that worked quite well, I had people that you know threw up in cars

and stuff party people, and they left it overnight with the guys they left their

machines hooked up, the next day the smells were gone, y2k XZ says do you

miss the snow Scotty, well I was born in Niagara Falls and I miss it

theoretically, it looks nice but I don't miss working in it, I

don't miss shoveling the snow, cuz when I was

young nobody had a snowblower and my family is too cheap anyways, even years

later we were out there with a shovel shoveling it by hand, I don't miss

driving in it where people are sliding and smashing into each other, when I want to

see snow, I do stuff like get in a jet airplane and go to Lake Tahoe, last year

I went to Vancouver and went to Whistler I mean it was beautiful there, but I don't

want to live in it anymore, so if you never want to miss another one of my new

car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
