You should look at that before you buy the car most of the time I check to see if it's even or not that shows if you have a bad tire rod or needs a wheel alignment
Most important things to check Oil and all fluids Engine performance and sound Tires and tread ware Suspension and handling Brakes and brake noise Electronic controls everything Lights including fog lights Transmission dose it shift Latches door locks and hinges Weather stripping Battery including fuse box Engine belt and tensioner Engine belt accessories Windows must roll down Mirrors have to work No check engine lights Underbody needs to be checked No rust or leaks No broken components If it’s a truck look for spare tire If it’s a car check the trunk Make sure the vehicle got the tools to Jack the car up and to take the tire off Those are the things I look for
I would also check tire tread depth and wear, brake and clutch fluid moisture content and replacement, coolant ph level and coolant flush, replace spark plugs, check fuses, capacity test on battery and check suspension components for wear. I would also start a maintenance log with date and mileage of when a service was performed. It’s also helpful to write down torque values and part numbers with desciptions of any maintenace items that get regularly replaced for history and for future reference. It makes buying the same items easier especially if you have multiple cars that you maintain.
I would also check brake system and replace the fluid, change coolant and get new front wiper blades. Checking tire tread and change fuel filter were mentioned before. Oh - and be aware of timing belt life.
I actually spent like 500 replacing my fuel pump, fuel lines, starter, all the spark plugs and a couple of coil packs in addition to a hand full of relays and fuses i pick and pulled. Spent about two weeks testing wires all throughout my camry trying to figure out why it bogged out and died when i put it in park. Turns out the water pump had been broken and that in turn cause the timing belt to die and i had no idea. A great thing to have when buying a used car with higher mileage is a diagnostics tool you can get at harbor freight for under 40 bucks.
@@Waterbugjay oh man I don't even have a car yet and all this stuff is really intimidating, These things that you mentioned, are they high maintenance? I want to learn more but don't know where to start looking
I was thinking the same thing about timing though it needs checked no matter if its a timing belt or timing chain. Belts are cheap to replace. Chains not as much but if your used car has 100k miles or more it might could use a new timing chain, tensioner, chain guide bolt, hell might as well do the camshaft sprokets and chain guides. And on a lot of cars the waterpump is inside with the timing assembly so change that too. Also the front crank seal and valve cover gasket is good to do at the same time. No using old gaskets
Another check is the spare tire area, make sure you have all the parts. I bought a car and then put a load int he trunk and noticed the floor was sinking in. Checked it out and no spare tire or jack tools.
Change all fluids you don’t know when it was last changed • oil •coolant • transmission fluid •brake fluid • differential fluid • Power steering fluid • transfer case fluid • washer fluid You can also change •filters •brakes • and spark plugs
another DIY : after vacuuming the interior is to shampoo the carpet and seats (if cloth) that you can rent . Just be careful with a wand that has rotating bristles on cloth seats .
Great tips! I had a 2.0 Golf GLS. Easily the WORST car I ever owned. Had to get so many unique and special tools for it but I’m optimistic by thinking I expanded my tool collection! Lol but it serves its purpose of being a daily I didn’t want to mod and it worked ! Just super unreliable
Great tips. It's also important to drain and fill the ATF, which hopefully was checked for its condition before purchase. The auto transmission is a very pricey system and needs fluid replacement for a reasonably long trouble free life :)
You'll need spray adhesive and a plastic panel disassembling tool. Step 1: put the aforementioned stuff aside, remove the old saggy headliner and throw it away. Step 2: buy a new one that is in actual proper condition. Step 3: mount it in.
Bruh I just bought a car and I bought new filters for it. The intake filter had a huge hole in it and the cabin filter... There wasnt a cabin filter... check the filters yall.
2 year ovner of 2009 used car teaching myself :P even used car can be amazing if u bought from good driver also outside inside can look like a new car with good maintenance not talking about driving it :D
Oooh please. My Car got painted 2 Years ago in pure Black and since than, I always washed it with the Brush and there are no scratches. Stop acting like the Brush is the pure evil, just because the Internet is saying that.
the brush leaves swirls but those are easily removed after polishing. I would assume it's better to use the brush the first time you wash the car after buying it to remove any larger dirt contaminates on the paint. It really isnt an issue as he hasnt fully detailed the car yet.
hey everyone, I'll be buying a new car soon and I would love some tips. the three cars I'm thinking of are either a BMW E30, E36 or E46... apart from the generation I know I want a coupe 320i (or higher). I was wondering if anyone here has experience with those models and knows about problems or whatever, all tips are helpful! since I will modify it (NOT a full blown drift car or anything, just a nice street car..) getting aftermarket parts will play a role in my decision. maybe people from europe (also where i'm from, which explains my english xD) can tell me more than american viewers but I thought it might be worth a shot!
The E46 have massive issues with rotting rear axle mounts - also the early ones have electronic gremlins. The E30 is overrated and got to expensive by time. I would go with the E36 325i. M50 iron block instead of M52 aluminium block using irreparable nikasil liner. But that is personal preference - the 328i M52 is also used a lot for impressive turbo builds.
Here's a tip: If you have your heart set on buying a beemer, be sure to have a LARGE amount of cash set aside for maintenance and repairs...and you will need it. Owning a BMW ain't cheap!
Lmfao I haven't done any of those things and I've already put 2k miles 😂😂 and the shit that's sitting in there (plugs/wires and oil) is atleast 3 years old. My first paycheck I'm doing all that, plus getting an exhaust cause my cats took a shit.

If you care about your paint at all make sure to never use those brushes at the car wash
AJHedges it's his daily so he probably doesn't care
t4teeee Yeah I know I’m just saying for other people
i wouldn’t even use it on my shitbox grand cherokee
Don’t even use that shit at all. I had a black Malibu and scratched the trunk with one.
Make sure to wash it regularly and wax it helps the paint 100% last longer
You forgot to include checking the tire tread wear. Very overlooked.
You should look at that before you buy the car most of the time I check to see if it's even or not that shows if you have a bad tire rod or needs a wheel alignment
You shouldn’t have bought the used car without looking at the tires. Same can be said for most of this stuff.
Most important things to check
Oil and all fluids
Engine performance and sound
Tires and tread ware
Suspension and handling
Brakes and brake noise
Electronic controls everything
Lights including fog lights
Transmission dose it shift
Latches door locks and hinges
Weather stripping
Battery including fuse box
Engine belt and tensioner
Engine belt accessories
Windows must roll down
Mirrors have to work
No check engine lights
Underbody needs to be checked
No rust or leaks
No broken components
If it’s a truck look for spare tire
If it’s a car check the trunk
Make sure the vehicle got the tools to Jack the car up and to take the tire off
Those are the things I look for
@@asherq8646 Looking at yes but fixing the issue is different. I doubt anyone looks at the cabin filters either.

Listen to this man. I just paid 900 for a timing belt and water pump replacement

@@joel3683 When you get a car get a service manual it will have almost everything you need to know about the car covered
I bought a car at night, I highly recommend that you don't do that hahaha. I didn't get to see the wheels very well but I needed up replacing them.
My brother did the same. The Car ended up having leaks

Never use a broom ah the car wash on your paint if you want it to stay nice
cleanup the gunk out of PCV valve system, change the PCV if necessary. Just did that on my mk4.

I found my jeep's auto lock key fob under my back seat by the amplifier a few months after i bought it! So yeah, good advice.
Wow, didn't know about the CABIN AIR FILTER...a MUST CGECK for sure...thank you Sir !!!!!
Solid reminder of all the things that I need to do to my car this year XD nicely done!
How about fuel filter?
Great tips. It's also important to drain and fill the ATF, which hopefully was checked for its condition before purchase. The auto transmission is a very pricey system and needs fluid replacement for a reasonably long trouble free life :)
Check brake pads , fuel Injectors and spark plugs aswell
make a video of how to fix saging head liner
You'll need spray adhesive and a plastic panel disassembling tool. Step 1: put the aforementioned stuff aside, remove the old saggy headliner and throw it away. Step 2: buy a new one that is in actual proper condition. Step 3: mount it in.
I would also change all the belts
Oil
Brake Fluid
Coolant Level
Washer Fluid
Air Intake
Cabin Filter
Spark Plugs
Ingnition Coils
Engine Cleaner Additive (fuel tank type)
Intake Valve Clean Out
Convert most Halogens to LED
Tire Preassure
Battery Condition
okay, what about starter, alternator, and brake pads?
Things to replace:
Car
I switched my manual transmission fluid to synchromesh when i bought my mk4. 140k without a MTF change.
Bruh I just bought a car and I bought new filters for it. The intake filter had a huge hole in it and the cabin filter... There wasnt a cabin filter... check the filters yall.
sometimes the builders do not put in a cabin filter, just to save a few dollars...
You should have checked fluids BEFORE buying a used car.
wheel bearings and brakes suspension components engine mounts belts and pulleys. to name a few.
2 year ovner of 2009 used car teaching myself :P even used car can be amazing if u bought from good driver also outside inside can look like a new car with good maintenance not talking about driving it :D
Axle tie rod suspension steering bearings ect who will look
I bought a 1 owner pre certified/all records 2009 CC ran great until it didn't... with NO warning timing belt/chain jumped blown motor
The brush.. really??
Captain it's just an old Daily... who the fuck cares. The Paint is not polished or anything, so what's wrong with thd Brush?
Project _ R Everything
Worries about documenting scratches, scratches it. #ohwell
