What part of AS IS
Don’t you get
You don’t want any warranty
This is on YOU!!!
You didn’t get scammed
What a waste of time this video is
No sob story buddy
You take responsibility for what you bought then!!
I definitely understand how you feel. With that being said, I’m a dealer and have been one since 2015. I sell most of my vehicles as is. We have buyers guides that we have to put on every vehicle. These show what to look for and inspect on used vehicles. It also states you can have the vehicle inspected. I always tell my buyers if it doesn’t feel right don’t buy it. I use this as well when I buy my inventory. The biggest thing on buying vehicles is doing your due diligence.
So you want them to tare the engine apart on lot to find scoring inside the cylinder walls? Not gonna happen.
This is not a scam. You are well spoken and clear about your situation. But scam is not the word buddy. This is how the used car world is.
Your telling them not to buy Hyundai at the auction, so why did you buy a Hyundai?
Exactly,this is sour grapes. The son probably beat on the thing and it's someone else's fault. That's like if I'm selling a car on marketplace and someone buys it and comes back a month later insisting I need to give them their money back. Ummm NO!!!
@@sheiladavis2304lol I actually I had that happen. Sold the car on marketplace even put on the ad it was smoking and steaming from the engine.
Guy drove it with it smoking and steaming from the engine.(don’t remember what it was, was 10 years ago)
A few days later guy blows up my phone for a refund because it’s junk.
My guy you test drove it with it smoking, and I even said I think the block is cracked or something.
And you paid scrap for it haha
Buyer beware..buying an older Hyundai Kia is moronic.@@sheiladavis2304
When I asked a dealer to help me find a car, I specifically told him I didn't want a Hyundai or Kia because I knew they are problem vehicles. So did you. So, why did you buy it?
Victim mentality! Blames others for his inaction.
I got scammed by the thumbnail of this video. You bought a known problem vehicle from a used car lot and then went to the dealer and involved a third party before contacting the seller.
THAT'S 100% ON YOU!!
@@onetime359 moat dealers stand behind what they sell shit give a guy 48hour grace period for crying Outlook instead he was told to kick Rocks GTFOOH
@@roosevelthillscemetery we watched different videos apparently. No most used car dealers do not. Dude but a problem vehicle and you know what he got? A problem vehicle.
You didn’t get scammed, you failed to do your due diligence. You bought a used car as is from a used car dealer and you didn’t get a PPI or even bring your scan tool and scan it before you bought it. I’ve never heard of an “in house” warranty from a used car dealer not sure where you’ve come across that before even new car dealers don’t do that on a used car.
This is 100% all your fault.
Hey, I get your opinion. It's yours. But doing the right thing, if you're an upstanding business, should be at the forefront. Otherwise, everyone would be dishonest, and nobody would want to buy anything from anyone. You can't claim to be a respectable dealer, then sell crap. It doesn't work that way, or at least it shouldn't in my book. But I appreciate your comment, and thanks for watching!
No warranty at all I would have RAN away from that place
Agreed. Hindsight is 20/20. Thanks for watching!
You did not get scammed...! You bought a Hyundai, used...!!! Once the factory warranty expires, those things are garbage...!!!
Where's the scam u bought it as is
So a guy that supposedly knows cars goes and buys a used Hyundai from a used car dealer and expects it to be reliable. He doesn't even check if the OBD2 is emissions ready or has been cleared recently. Great way of getting lots of views and likes by crying about being scammed by another RUclipsr that is much more popular. If you truly cared about your kids you would have bought a Honda or a Toyota from the original owner and you wouldn't have a RUclips video to make. Lol boohoo 😂
It's NOT a scam when you don't understand what an "AS IS" sale is...!!! Wow & WTF...?!?
Exactly. I didn't do due diligence and now it's everyone's fault but my own. 😢
Craig is a weirdo that gets hair highlights to match his sunglasses and purses! Hey Craig do you highlight your c**t hair too?
This is damaging to the channel alleging the buyer got "scammed" ... When in fact they bought a $5200 car without any warranty, and when it broke, that is what happens...
To the author: if you have any respect you would change this title and name it "Why you should not buy a cheap used car without any warranty" ... That would be more accurate title, not this alleged "scam
m" ...
@@CasualXCars Exactly...! You actually understand "AS IS"...!!!
Why wouldn’t you bring a scan tool when you bought the car, you said you have one. And then you try and say you bought it for your son. Cmon man. Its your fault for not checking in out
I used to watch the Flying Wheels youtube channel. Because I watched his channel, I would never buy a car from him. I have seen that guy spray paint carpets, etc. I bet you he cleared the codes before selling the car. The funny thing is that he is very self righteous and arrogant.
You do have a lot of responsibility here though. I think you know that.
I certainly do know this. Thanks for watching!
Of course he knows, he just didn't want to have to admit it.😅😂
Yes u have to wonder if they cleared codes or doped the engine with marvel or something? But especially his videos always saying what a stand up guy he is and comments people call him crying wheels.....on the flip side he must know a junkyard or poss source an engine and help get the car fixed on the cheep...?
Someone from the lot HAS to ride along on a test ride due to insurance. Everyone with a little automotive knowledge knows Hyundais and Kias have throw away engines. They have lifetime warranties for engines at the Hyundai dealer. The used dealer did nothing wrong. $5500 is wholesale value on it. You could put a motor in it and still be under retail numbers.
Thanks for watching!
Exactly. But that doesn't bring all the views to his channel that putting, "flying wheels scammed me!"does. He gets to slander someone and benefit by doing so.
No insurance requires that specifically. I have never had that experience.
@12yearssober have you ever bought commercial insurance for a used car lot.? If you had then you would have run into that situation.
Check with some small local mechanics instead of Hyundai... We are able to get used motors, plus labor, plus some kind of warranty on some models for 1200-1800 bucks... Worth calling a few small mechanics to see if that's an option
I hear you. Thanks for watching!
50 grand for a truck that’s crazy
@@carquestionsanswered long story short he should of drove to NC to buy a car from you atleast yiu would stand behind the issue and make it right.
After Hyundai dealer checked the car out initially and told you you’re all set then later told you you need an engine they apparently are the scammers when they won’t replace it.
So you bought a 5k Hyundai knowing that they pop motors on the regular and feel the dealer scammed you? Knowing that it's as if you are your own worst enemy. Next time buy a Toyota or Honda and stop blaming the dealer for your ignorance. Oh and i don't even like Craig from flying wheels. But your on a whole different planet.
To each his own. But it's called customer service. I have friends that have these cars that have never had issues. It's a dice roll. Thanks for watching!
@@kalways_kustomsyou bought a car KNOWN for self destructing. Just like the Altima. You need to educate yourself. You literally bought a piece of crap, period.
Yep, I absolutely agree...!!! Anything from Korea is only worth the manufacturer warranty, once that's gone, it's time for the scrap yard...!!!
There were motor recalls from the dealership on some models look into that.
STUPID IS,AS STUPID DOES.
Really?? A 5500 dollar used car with a 3 month warranty? Where? No crying towel from me!
Yeah really. The best warranty you'll get is probably the CarMax 90 day
Dude, you didn’t get “scammed”. He’s a used car dealer and likely bought the car at auction. YOU failed. NOT the used car dealer!
The Flying Wheels guy has always come across as a shady used car dealer. A quick buck is all he's after. He's too busy trying to become a RUclips star. 😂
It sucks that this happened and regardless of it being sold "AS IS" they should've done the right thing,doesn't necessarily mean give you the money back but get you sorted in some way,I've been watching Craigs videos for a long time and it baffles me that he would do this,im sorry for the whole ordeal and it sucks that nowadays this is how most people operate!
Its sad but you knew that Hyundai is crap and you didn't get the warranty and bought it as is. If you sold a car to someone as is and you offer a warranty and they decline. Will you take the huge loss of a new engine?? Yo gamble and you lost thats life.
I hear you. Thanks for watching!
Crying Lying Wheels didn't get rich being honest😂
Sorry to hear you got scammed witch you did craig portrays him self as the best used car guy out there and customers are always trying to burn him.If you warched over the years the questable things he has done he once promised a used car to a nice family welll somebody came in i think they paid craig more money he sold it right out from undernearh them .. Then there was this family with a jeep wrangler that had body damage.craig ended up with alot money in his pocket.I think on the jeep job he should have gave the customer some money back he bragged on a episode how much he got from the insurance company compared to what it cost him ro fix of course the repair wasn't what the insurance company paid for and there's others.I think craig is a big cry baby complains about everything how bad he got it he always saying how the car buisness sucks left him comments many times craig if its that bad get out craig has alot of fanboys i notice a few of the comments definitely from some of his fans and any way you slice it you should be able ro make to your house with your used car you picked up that day with out the check engine light coming on.I don't watch craig anymore when he pop up on you tube now and then all i see him bragging about his million dollar
house in Florida or his 100000.00 dollar plus cyber truck
When German left Flying wheels, Craig seemed to be more interested in being a car youtuber than running his car lot. He bought junk cars for youtube videos and didn't fix them. He wanted to be like the other youtubers. Craig is a disaster in a midlife crisis. All Craig has done the last year is complain and make bad decisions buying cars and selling them at a loss. This video just confirms people should stay away from Flying wheels car lot. Since Craig moved to Florida, he just dumped it on that lady working there. RUclips dreams ruined Craig.
Very accurate assessment. Craig is a used car dealer that really wants to be an influencer.
Sounds like you guys know him personally... To me it sounds like a guy who admits he should have done his due diligence on buying a used Hyundai and didn't. Now it's everyone else's problem.
The funny thing is when you want it to be known as a Ferrari dealer by buying one or two used Ferraris and patching them up with rattle can spray paint and his detailed guy
There's a reason he's earned the nickname "crying wheels".
Firstly German was a hack job all rounder ! Secondly he bought and sold junk for RUclips views so they cost him nothing.
I believe Craig is running from lawsuits, to liquidate everything and move to another state something is wrong.
Craig is a joke but I don't see how this is a scam as this is a terrible car and driving one is like playing roulette
Thanks for watching!
I don't see anything that Craig did wrong...! Where's the scam...?
Craig is another sleazy used car salesman 😂 the guy is a joke.
That’s sucks! I was subscribed to his channel but I couldn’t handle his look at me and all my money attitude. Hope it works out man!
The p0420 code coming up right away is a sure sign that they just cleared the codes and sold it knowing there was an issue. It needed to run the catalyst monitoring test.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
THIS IS A CUSTOMER YOU FIRE! You want to be an expert when people are listening to you, and yet somehow easily hoodwinked. You don't want to spend what is required to have piece of mind (i.e. extended warranty or a newer car with factory warranty) and then go a step further and buy an AS IS car to get the cheapest thing possible. Cake and eat it too? This is the nightmare customer, more dealers need to fire you and let you just buy private sale.
Sorry to hear but where is the scam? You agreed to as is. Yes you did and refused aftermarket warrenty. Now you bad mouth them ? So then did you have mechanic inspect it? Use a scan tool ? How long was the test drive ? Did you go to them or call right when it happened ?? No you took it to the dealer without asking Flywheels. You want to get thier help you reach out to them first not having someone else take the car apart. You also knew they have engine issues you say. Most all small lots I delt with always have no warrenty's in the windows.
Shyster car dealer who pretends to be an honorable used car dealership.
Wolf in sheep's clothing. Thanks for watching!
It's not their fault though...! Hyundai does not produce anything good...! Once the factory warranty is expired, they're worthless...!!!
Note to General Public. 🚗 Please heed these dealerships warning.
🤑 If you buy a car from them "AS IS" and it's a LEMON it's ON YOU!
It is your fault and your problem. Read how many agree 💯 on that is. It is the buyers problem and fault.
So Now that you have been lawfully educated by these dealers what should be your response as a potential buyer when they try to sell you a car "As IS" ????
No thank you, keep your problem. Share this message and video with anyone considering buying an Auto "As Is"
You'll save them 💰💰💰 and aggravation.
It sounds like you scammed yourself. They are a "buy n sell" dealer. So if you got "scammed, they also got "scammed". Check your regular USPS mail, I am sure you will be getting something.
Your son sent me over to your channel, im an avid viewer of his. So sorry this happened, that’s a real shitty situation. I’ll definitely share this around with my friends.
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
Dude you sound like a complainer, should have done your own due diligence when purchasing, you seemed to know that they have engine issues and STILL purchased. In the future you NEED to have in writing on the as is for work promised. If you don’t negotiate then then stop complaining. Most and I say MOST smaller private mom and pop car dealers will SELL you a warranty usually from 2k - $2500. Nothing in this day and age is Free, ESPECIALLY if you purchase As-Is. “Caveat Emptor” stop complaining and move on.
As-is disclosure is being ethically, correct. Especially coming from a vehicle that has an engine with notorious oil consumption problems, and failing rings or turbo.
First things first!
I think Craig is a terrible car dealer and based on the crap he buys and posts on RUclips, I don't know how anyone would buy that shit in the first place!
Now
A scam is buying a car and then finding out the dealer rolled back the odometer!
A scam is finding out the dealer knew it had salvage history and washed the title and sold it with a clean title!
That's a scam!
You have $5200 for a used car.
It's not $15K or $10K, but it's still enough money to buy something decent.
You are a bike builder guy, I guess based on what I barely saw, so you have some idea about transportation.
You also said you did research on these cars and know they are junk!
Heck, they sell them with 10 year warranties for a reason!
You never mentioned the miles because that probably would make you look more of a fool!
As for test driving the car, I never let a customer go by themselves because I know what people like to do with other people's property and its a used car, not a new car.
I though would have asked to go for a longer test drive and on the highway.
I respect a 10 year old car and drive it accordingly so it will last. Unfortunately people don't think the same way.
Cars are like people, as they get older, things break. We don't know when they will break but eventually they do.
My neighbor was a health nut and told me that I wasn't taking care of myself as he went for a morning jog.
The next day he went for his morning jog and never came home!
Died of a heart attack on the run!
Shit happens, sometimes we have bad timing and it happens suddenly!
Deal with it but don't blame someone because they didn't give you something that they weren't obligated to give you!
Caveat Emptor
Learn that and make sure you understand it when you go before a Judge in court!
Also learn what defamation of character is!
I can verify Craig was busy on Labor Day. He had an appointment to get his hair highlights done to match his sunglasses then he spent the day on his boat so he couldn’t call you back. How many miles did this jalopy have? Is there a reason I’m missing as to why the lemon laws don’t apply?
lemon laws only apply to new vehicle purchases
@@GAM-TIME Depends on the state.
@@aaronbritt2025 What state has lemon laws for used cars?
It was purchased "AS IS" ... sorry, but playing Russian Roulette doesn't always pay off. WOULDA COULDA SHOULDA... You didn't win on this gamble. Please move on, painful lesson to learn.
I am trying to find the point in your story where you take the car to an independent mechanic for a Pre-Purchase Inspection BEFORE you buy the car? Skip the PPI it is 100% on you!
Man. That's too bad. But I wouldn't say you were scammed. You did, I assume, sign the Federal Buyer's Guide that said the vehicle is as is. That form also suggests you take the car to a shop to be checked out BEFORE you purchase or bring a mechanic. I don't believe you were scammed. I believe you bought a Hyundai and it had a bad engine. It was as is when the dealer bought it. And it was AS-IS when you bought it and it sounds like you didn't get it checked out before you bought it. I'm sorry it happened. It seems like Hyundai told you the car was good to go the first time so even taking it to a shop may not have detected a problem. If the dealer couldn't detect the problem after the purchase do you think they could have detected it before the sale? I'm sorry, AS IS means AS IS. It is unfortunate the car needs an engine and you aren't entitled to anything from the dealer. Scam isn't accurate. You got a car that had a problem.
Wait… so you knew the engines put in Kia and Hyundais are terrible, highly recalled and pretty much throw away motors. Proceed to knowingly purchase said terrible car with terrible motor, used at the end of its life for $5,200 (as-is). Had it diagnosed by the factory dealer 2 times, and then ran to RUclips to make a “scam” video on your poor decisions. Should I subscribe for more poor choice/victim blame content?
I was a dealer for 20 years. As is or not. You sell a car and the motor goes within a few days.
You have a choice.
Put a motor in it. Buy it back for the $5200. Or trade you out for a different car.. that is how I always did it. And it happened to me a few times !
I sold a blazer once. $6000
Motor went bad 3 weeks later.
I ended up paying $3500
And fixing it. That’s just what you do. As a dealer , Sometimes you take a Hit. Part of the game
Sorry that happened.
In the future. With a $5000 budget you have very few options
1.) older honda. 2.) older Toyota.
3.)the older Lincoln MKZ are great too as far as American made cars
The rest is junk..
@@joshuamac6616 Exactly 💯
not trying to be a hater but you bought the vehicle as is and your saying that craig from flying wheels scammed you the reason dealerships offer a warranty that you should buy when you get shit boxes like that. Flying wheels also was closing as craig was moving and again i have to take his side because we are only hearing your side of the story its not useful in any way because you bought a car that you obviously did your research on as you stated in your video that you know has problems then you try to say its the man who owns the dealership. i am not taking his side in fact i am trying to stay neutral but this video is honestly more of you ranting then evidence
😂 you literally shot down every one of your own statements about being “scammed”.
You’d come closer to being successfully sued for defamation than claiming being scammed.
The car was AS-IS and that's is what was signed. I would've taken the Hyundai before purchasing to have a local mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection. If the used car dealer wouldn't allow you to do than I would look elsewhere. Since you already purchased the Hyundai I would find a local mechanic that you trust and get a 2nd opinion. The dealership is always going to be the most expensive to get the car repaired. You mentioned in your video that Kia's and Hyundai's engines over time are not reliable then why did you even look at one in the first place? Probably could've found a higher mileage Toyota, Honda, and/or Nissan for $5,000 and may have been better off. Or just cut your losses clear the code and sell it to one of those large car buying places. They'll send it to the auction.
So you bought a car that is known to have engine issues, without a warranty, without an inspection, and took it for engine work and now you are hurting and want the dealership to take it back. The dealership didn’t force you to buy it, you accepted the terms of AS-IS.
Craig changed over recent years.
His Karma is always started coming back to him.
All his Whining is bringing him more negative shit.
He’s been experiencing Auction losses and buying depreciating items. now this will only add to his Karma list.
And I’d was gonna say buyer beware but their lack of calling back and then suddenly saying they’re not doing anything to help, yeah, that’s total BS.
Should’ve throw ya some kinda bone.
GodSpeed Man.
Never let them change ya 😎
💯 agreed. Let’s be honest. With Craig in Florida, I don’t see that place lasting 6-12 months. Especially him trying to do his own thing down there too. My guess was, he’s looking for a cheap property he can set up and get a FL Dealers License. Once that is up and running, he’s closing down his car lot in NH.
@@dj1698
Guaranteed. Leaving Lauren in charge was his first mistake.
Both of you are technically in the wrong. Craig sells junk ,he doesn't inspect anything ,when he does fix stuff it's half a$$. He underbids everything ,so only ever buys high mileage junk.Also they should have not started to talk about helping at the start.That's where they went wrong.On your errors ,you watched his videos ,you must have read comments ,plus all of the issues he has with buying crap cars with major issues. Purchasing a car from him was your first mistake.Craig won't care or learn ,so you need to take this as a lesson.
Also using the word "Scam" is opening you up to Libel claims. Don't get me wrong ,I think Craig is a scummy person in my opinion ,but if I was in his shoes ,I'd sue you. The word Scam implies intent to Defraud/scheme/trick by illegal means.I'm not sure his action show intent...Good luck Sir.
All these horror stories I would never never buy a Hyundai or a Kia product. They're worse than Chrysler products😂😂😂
I subscribe to Flying wheels but still think that Craig is a typical car salesman. But in the companies defence, you already knew about the Velosters in general having engine issues but still went ahead and purchased one. You then try and go back to the dealer to rectify the issue after not taking out a warranty which in fact wouldn't have been red flagged and the ounis would have been on the dealer not you if a claim was made.
You knew exactly what you were choosing and getting into so I blame you for this bud.
Im in no way affiliated with Flying wheels either. Craig seems to be a tool but in the end, you made the bad decisions.
Here's a short but long explanation of how I take your video and it's just advice so take it for what it's worth. This was painful to watch, I feel sorry for you and I also feel sorry for the dealer. I'm a dealer in North Carolina and legally Flying Wheels can't repair the car if the laws are the same there as they are here. Any vehicle sold "as is" has to be in fact sold "as is", if they offered to fix the car and did so then that is an "implied warranty" which in NC means Flying Wheels would have to warranty the car for as long as you owned it, no way out of it. Now as far as trading you back out of it that is totally up to the dealer, I'm sure they could work something out with you if you said that's 100% what you want to do.
I'm just curious how much time passed before you let them know it had an issue? If you let them know as soon as you got home that the check engine light came on before it made it home from the dealer then I feel like things would have been different for you. I know from experience that a customer will lie to a dealer way more than a dealer lies to customers. Buyers are liars, It's a sad but true fact. I'm definitely not saying you're lying but you have to look at it from the perspective of the dealer as to getting a phone call days or weeks later stating the car had an issue that started on the drive home from the dealership and I'm just now contacting you, sounds a little unbelievable. Again I feel like you're telling the truth about the car and situation but anything could have happened in the amount of time you bought the car and when you finally contacted the dealer, that's why it would have been critical for you to let them know as soon as it happened. It's a no win situation for the dealer either way and you should have requested to drive the car further than a mile or so at 35mph, go on a second test drive with the detail guy and put it through it's paces. Another thing is they offered you an extended warranty which you had the opportunity to buy but declined to do so because you had a predetermined mindset that the warranty is no good. If a dealer is "throwing in a warranty" or "including a warranty" on any used vehicle it has to be listed on the bill of sale because if not that's going back to an "implied warranty" and they never expire once the dealer repairs the vehicle. Definitely do not trust a dealer that says they are giving you a warranty and it's not listed anywhere in the paperwork. I'm sorry this happened and I watch Flying Wheels too and I do feel like Craig is an honest, understanding person but his hands are tied when it comes to repairing the vehicle. I'd try asking really nicely how you could trade out of it and get into a different, more reliable vehicle for your son. Not to pour salt on your wound but 5 minutes worth of research on Google would have made you run from certain Hyundai's and Kia's, a lot of them are ticking time bombs. It's just a bad situation all around, I'm sorry.
Hey, thanks for the comment. I’m his son, the one the car was bought for. It is a shit situation, but it turned around fairly quick. Ended up going with a 2024 Nissan Versa S Plus, warranty and everything. Was able to get about a grand or so trade in from the Veloster which is better than nothing. Definitely a learning experience.
@@iiTsFaded_ Awesome, yes definitely have to mark it up as a learning experience. Glad you were able to get something in its place.
@@CCMINC I am very much an auto enthusiast and want something nice but as The Rolling Stones say, you can’t always get what you want. This car is a good commuter for my 9-5 and is definitely what I need, but it’s actually grown on me. This’ll be my daily for the next 4-5 years and I’m more than happy with what we went with.
@@iiTsFaded_ cool, yes being a 2024 and under warranty you should be good to go for a long time. Definitely stay on top of servicing that CVT transmission, don't skip any recommended services on the transmission. It's definitely the achilles heel on most Nissan's.
@@CCMINCI agree 100% with what you said but I would take it a step further. Whatever the time frame for the trans fluid is do it sooner! Be ahead of the curve on that!
I am a subscriber to flying wheels. I would never buy a car from flying wheels.
I feel for you guy but you’re so wrong about everything. I’m a dealer, and dealers almost NEVER offer an in house warranty on any used cars. Dealers often sell 3rd part warranties. You bought a used car “as-is” and are upset that it broke? I’m confused. How were you scammed? You literally said in the video you knew Hyundai / Kia blow motors like crazy, yet you bought one anyway. Your next mistake was trading it in on a junk Nissan Versa. Your biggest mistake was making a video claiming he scammed you. You have no evidence you were scammed. I’d have had my lawyer serve you by the next day with a lawsuit pending. We’d be filing a defamation case at a minimum. You feel he owes you because you declined a warranty and bought a car with no PPI? $5500 is OK for him to spend because he can afford it? Listen here man $5500 is $5500 to anybody! You screwed yourself.
You bought a used car for $5,200...own up to Your decision. It's nobody's fault but your own!
5:39 maybe new Hampshire is different but 23 years in the auto business and I've NEVER seen a used car lot where the vehicles come with any warranty. Even 3mo/3000 or any. In Washington state at least EVERY used car is deemed as is no warranty expressed or implied. And of course they offer an extended but I'm with you those are a ripoff.
Like anything you buy as is, you assume the risk. I don't think the dealer did anything wrong.
Didn't weasel run to Florida ?
😂😂😂😂
Something don’t add up he liquidated his assets and fled the state. 🤔
Craig is definitely “flying wheels” now in Florida with all these hurricanes.
He probably moved there to be closer to his idol and future mentor Sam Crac. Wheels of a feather roll together.
I’ve been extremely suspicious lately of Cracs channel. He doesn’t release videos as regularly and almost every one of them is a super lucky find that was fixed with less than $1k. Its as if Copart has someone giving him the sweet heart deals. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on Coparts pay role as a salesman/influencer to help them hock their trash.
7:18 If you did previous research and found out that these cars have engine problems galore, why the heck did you buy one?
Because supposedly that year they had straightened out the situation. But after I purchased it, I found out that there was a certain VIN (early 15) that fell within that issue....which I overlooked. And going by Hyundai's info, the problem wasn't due to the recall.....not sure I believe that, but that's what they said. Thanks for watching!
@kalways_kustoms Thanks for your reply. If I might offer a few suggestions. One, rather than ask the dealer to make you an offer, be prepared with what you think is a fair price based on KBB as well as comparables in the market place (ie. Cargurus, FB Marketplace, etc.). Second, any dealer that is including a warranty isn't really doing it for free. They are just wrapping the cost of the warranty into the price of the car. Most likely, cars from dealers that include warranties will probably have the same model priced higher than dealers that don't include warranties. Third, decide what kind of car you want ahead of time by researching and watching RUclips videos. I think the Car Wizard does a great job with his "but this not that" episodes. I watch both review videos of the car as well as looking for videos of common problems with the car. Fourth, if the dealer offers a warranty for purchase, research that company and see if the reviews are good. Do it right there with the dealer and discuss any concerns you have with the dealer. If you buy a car that has excellent reliability like a Toyota or Honda, it will be FAR less likely you will ever need to utilize a warranty. That's all I've got for the moment. 😄
I knew this would be another person crying after not doing their due diligence.
You failed to have the car checked over.
I actually hope Craig sues you for defamation. This is a case he would win easily.
😂 at the end of the day they've been doing this. They've been tricking people for years you buy their cars and their trucks and then their engine or the transmission goes out on you and they don't stand by their products and people still buy their products. Worse when you don't know nothing about cars and you don't know nothing about what's going on with Hyundai.
What cloud are you living on where used dealerships offer 3 month warranty? Maybe a 24 hour warranty. If you’re lucky. 😂
Thats your PROBLEM lady....YOU bought a Hyundai!!!
you had a choke to walk away when the sale was as is or get an inspection on it before you bought
I don't think you do understand "AS IS". Even a PPI might not have found this problem. PPIs don't boroscope. The thing a PPI would find is the trouble code.
Thanks for watching!
He doesn’t understand “as is”
Cliff from barroom? Lol
As is" refers to a condition where a product or item is sold without any guarantees or warranties regarding its quality or condition. The buyer accepts it in its current state, with all existing flaws or issues.
And Hyundai are NOT known for being well built. AKA engines grenading, cars catching on fire, ect.
The uploader knew this but still bought one anyway, yikes!!
And FYI some used car dealers only give a 15 day warranty.
That's how it was with the car I bought about 3 years ago.
You test drove it, then bought it WITHOUT a warranty.
End of story.
Don’t be a busta, it’s an “as is” car.
Park it outside the dealership with a sign in it, detailing your justified grievance with them! Might put off their next mark.
The thought crossed my mind. Lol Thanks for watching!
It's not their fault though...!!!
@kurtisstutzman7056 If you sell a car to someone it needs to be fit for purpose! The fact that the seller of the vehicle has refused to accept responsibility for the state of it,speaks volumes. At the very least he should meet the buyer half way. Otherwise he is just a conman who obviously isn't bothered by his reputation. Who deals with a scumbag like that? Definitely not relying on repeat business! Here in the UK we have tradings standards regulation to prevent these cowboys from getting away with this kind of crap!
@@markbowen3638 Doesn't anyone understand what an "AS IS" sale is...?!? If you blow up your engine 5 minutes away from the dealership after an "AS IS" sale, it's 100% your fault, but this was three days later...!!! It's not a difficult thing to understand...!
@@kurtisstutzman7056 apparently not. It’s pretty sad how many have no clue.
Also, you may want to be careful with naming companies and publicly giving out bad reviews. People have been sued for doing just that.
Thanks for watching!
@@cliffvictoria3863 it’s not the bad review it’s the part where he says he was scammed that could get him sued. If he was smart (which this whole incident shows he not) he would remove this video.
Craig is filing court proceedings. Hope ya have a good lawyer bud!
@@TKsGarage1 Having a bit of a legal background, you hold yourself out to the public, the public can express any opinion on you and your business as long as it's not criminal. Sue all you want. The only people who win are the attorneys who get the billable hours.
This Flying Wheels guy is thriving off this drama unfortunately 😢
Couple of problems here ....
No.1 You bought a car that you know are problematic .... Why ? Why not something reliable ?
No.2 They didnt test drive the car, at all bought it, cleaned it and shipp it. (thats why i put at least a 200 miles on a car that i am selling)
BUT if it was sold with no inspection .... then its fishy .... why they didnt do the inspection ... they probably knew, it had a check engine.
It’s not a good look to play victim ESPECIALLY YOU, you know how it works. They’re honest, “as is” is “as is”. You explained that they did everything right. I won’t sub here.
cool story Mr Carless, roll tide I guess 🤷
After seeing your vid you have my sympathy and I came to the conclusion that Mr. Flying Wheels is a POS. As a dealer there is no reason that he would no be aware that Hyundai and Kia cars are noted for engine failures and he bought it at auction dirt cheap and probably knew it was junk. If I were in his shoes, I would have taken the car back and bent over backwards to make it right to the customer. Mr. Flying Wheels has lost any respect I ever had for him and I will never watch another one of his vids.
I may watch with sunglasses. He sold the car in bad faith
Boss you wrong number 1 you need to bring your own mechanic if they don't offer any warranty number 2 I won't offer any warranty either if I buy used cars in a dealer auction number 3 you wouldn't be making this video if you would've went with your own mechanic. Enough said.
The Brady Bunch taught me, when I was only 10 years old, "Caveat Emptor" or let the buyer beware. This is on you. Legally, they did nothing wrong, and sometimes crap just breaks. You buy a car at the auction that gets driven in and out at speeds less than 20. It is then driven at low speed to load it on a trailer, then parked on a lot and checked. Then you bought it. How would they know? It is more likely the last owner knew and ditched a problem. It is even possible the selling dealer at the auction knew or the wholesaler. Either way this is why you check things out and avoid problematic cars.
I 💯 agree with you, as I stated in the video. But you gotta stand by your product. It's a lesson learned hard for me. Thanks for watching!
@@kalways_kustoms I am a service writer. I genuinely feel bad that this happened to you. But, didn’t you say that you’d researched this car and knew that the Korean cars, both Hyundai and Kia are known to have bad engines, and you still bought one? Again, going off what you said in the video, it was known to you that they have engine failure issues, and you bought one any way.
Never buy a Kia all junk dealer should have taken it back for another car
Crying Wheels 😂 !
@@peterandrews955 That’s not how it works Pete. Ultimately the consumer is responsible for what they purchase. If they buy a product known to fail, they cannot be upset when it fails. Craig didn’t manufacture the car, why should he warranty it? You might be one of those folks that buy a car based on looks or performance rather than reliability and resale. If that’s the case then you choose your own fate. You have to be smart with your buying, don’t just buy it because it’s cool.
Doesn’t New Hampshire have a lemon law?? I’m not quite sure if that would protect you, but I would look into it
😂
You weren't scammed so stop lying about it. Scammed in a used car sale/purchase is when a seller KNOWINGLY sells a defective item, or lies about a known condition, and conceals said defect/condition. This didn't happen in your case. The seller had no knowledge of the issue and sold the vehicle AS-IS. If you wanted some form of a warranty you should have bought one. I don't know the seller, nor have any opinion of him (other than his videos are a bit cheesy IMO), but he isn't in the wrong here. Stop pretending otherwise and next time don't buy a 10 year old Hyundai with a bunch of miles and expect to get new car reliability and dealer support.
Yes he should have spent 8500 and bought a used toyota or Honda. Craig sold the car as is do feel sorry for the dad though as he was just trying to help his son out on the cheap. Sometimes it pays to spend the extra cash up front
Kalway taught me well in highschool
He is genuine guy
I stopped watching Flying Wheels six months ago because that guy loves to hear himself talk. He is the most arrogant guy on RUclips and boasts about the amount of money he loses from his ignorance in buying cars/trucks that have a reputation as C*ap, and have a bad reliability record, e.g., AUDI. The owner moved to Florida, spending more money on stupid purchases like boats, owns a Tesla Cybertruck, among other nonsensical vehicles, and talks about how honest he is. This video has proven otherwise, especially after he was moving from New Hampshire to Florida, and instead of giving a beautiful grand piano to the school or any other person who could have used it, he chopped it up and put it in the trash. Should say it all about this guy!
Yeah, lesson learned. Wanted to help a local business, and it bit me. Thanks for watching!
The schools or thrift shops won't take um. Too FN heavy
Agree 💯. Most arrogant guy ever!
This is why you get a PRE purchase inspection on a used vehicle!!! They didn't know but even if they did, , you could have protected yourself for a couple hundred dollars! Post inspections are funny especially the crying part! 🤣😂😅
Don't give up...keep pushing to get it fixed...you need to talk to Craig not the receptionist...I watched a video of his where something like this happened and yes he wasn't happy to have to fix the issue but they both settled on paying half to get the vehicle in question fixed. So possibly he will ATLEAST help with half the cost towards a salvaged motor! Don't give up! ❤ Give us a update...
Thanks for watching!
Any car you buy from a used car dealership can be a piece of crap.
Yeah this sucks you are not alone my friend I get it and feel for you it is another check on my box that people are not helping people and it is not hard to do at the end of the day Flying Wheels would have been better off leaving a legacy of helping people we should all think about this love goes a long way unconditionally just sayin.
Bitter party of one.😅
He will be contacting you as he is already getting message about being a scammer. I watch his channel regularly and he talks about all the bad customers in his videos and being he did not mention this when he always says transparency I feel guves creditably to you story. If you were just a bad customer there would have been a video on it
Definitely. I'm not that kind of guy, and it took something this extreme to make me make this video. It was made more to hopefully protect future customers, rather than retaliation. Thanks for watching!
@@kalways_kustoms As a car dealer myself I understand this happen out of nowhere with cars and you might have not know something was going to happen right after you sold it and I sell cars as is but if it breaks immediately you have to work with you customer. I had it happen once I offer to either take the car back or give them the profit I made off it towards fixing it they choose to take the couple dollars profit I made off it towards fixing it they were happy and I did not loose so it worked out for everyone. I you situation he could have gave you another car (swapped it out) with one he still made profit on, took the bad car ran it back thru auction he would have lost some money on it but the profit he would have made off the car he sold you should have evened him out. So he would not have made anything but not lost any (or minimum each way) and kept a customer and most like got a good review for taking care of the customer.
It was as is and you agreed. Both of you made an agreement you paid cash for a car. And his job. Was to give you a good car. Sadly he did not keep his part of the deal. Here is where ethics kicks in. Is it ok to take 5000 for a car thats no good just because he did not know its no good. No its not so at least meet halfway and return 2000 to him tohelp fix the junk car he sold him. That would be ethical .
They didn't scam you!!! You bought a notoriously bad car known for throwing engines especially used! Then you bought it, quickly after it did what's it's known for, you bought it knowing full well it had no warranty and then wanted them to fix it and buy you a new engine? How about doing some research on a good car next time! Sounds like you learned a $5200 lesson but it's honestly not the dealers fault it's yours!!!!
You purchased a nearly 10 year old automobile “as-is,” what more needs to be said? Nobody forced or tricked you into the car, nor did they force you to forego a PPI or scanning it yourself. You should also bear in mind the cost of the automobile and how no reasonable business would offer any warranty on any car of this vintage. Do you think you would have paid $5200 if it did have one? You also failed to mention the mileage in your video, please excuse me if you did and missed it. How many miles has this Hyundai accrued in its 9+ years? I won’t ask why not simply use $5200 as a down payment and make small monthly payments in exchange for the peace of mind in knowing that you’re covered because I do not know your financial situation. However, no reasonable person can expect any type of warranty under these circumstances and you were assured upfront that you are “on your own.” You agreed. In fact, even if the dealer did reimburse you for a brand new engine, it could open the door to future claims since they are agreeing to the warranty claim in the first place. What if they replaced the engine and next week your (fragile) dual clutch gearbox decides to fail? When would their liability end? When you say so! You gambled/lost, as you did when you decided to forego the temp tag/inspection and just “slap a plate on.” Interesting to note, you would’ve probably had more leverage when they went to inspect it and fail at their facility. They honored their word in selling you a product for a price that you agreed to when signing an “as-is” bill of sale. Call it a learning experience but this is how life is in the real world and you should not try to manipulate others to do as you wish by leveraging your hardships. None of this should be new information to you.
I hear your opinion. FYI, the car has 110,000 miles. Thanks for watching!
Yeah if the engine blows in a couple days, but he does remind me of a spoiled rich kid vibes, can't believe he is screwing over a customer, 😢
You signed the contract nobody owes you anything.
This is what you signed
(No verbal agreements will be honored by dealer.)
This vehicle is being sold as/is with no warranties, retums or guarantees expressed or implied. The vehicle has been inspected by the buyer and is in running condition. It has been discounted from its retail value in consideration of any repairs it may need. Upon signature and payment, the buyer assumes sole
responsibility, and liabiltiy and no way will the seller, dealer, and/or current owner any longer be held liable.
Exactly, it's just an excuse to use "Flying wheels scammed me!! In a thumbnail to get his own channel some views. When your buying a car like that you may as well buy it on marketplace. Nobody on their would give him a refund on it either. Especially because his son probably drove it like he stole it.
He is going to get sued by Flying Wheels for deformation
Thank your government, as a used car dealer we have to sell them as is, and we have to have someone go on test drives, I've had father and son try to race a Corvette with a dually diesel, and insurance requires it, plus, as much as we as dealers,would want to help you, once we break the as is veil, now ,we have implied a warranty, and then we will get sued for everything ! forever, thank the attorneys, and no fan of another dealer, but last I knew, the dealer did not build the car, plus, all cars are crap these days, lease a car and give it back when your done, I'd like to see the video of the dealer forcing you to buy the car
Thanks for watching!
No matter how cheap Hyundai. and Kia cars are I would never switch from Toyota to a lesser brand you should have just bought another engine for the corona. No matter how old the Corolla is. It's going to be 10 times better than owning a Kia or Hyundai.
Sir, you bought a used Hyundai. You seem like a knowledgeable guy, you should have done your homework first before you bought a Hyundai. Craig and flying wheels did nothing unethical.
Buyer Beware now more than ever. Worst economy in 5 decades. People keeping decent cars till they drop.
When buying a use car check out a site on that type of car for problems but you should have taken it to a mechanic to check out the engine and transmission it's the most expensive thing to fix
I fully agree. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching!
First if you watch FW RUclips they get many cars from auction. The car may pass their checks that are quick to then sell fast. If I buy a car as is I personally get it checked out. Best of luck regardless
It was definitely from auction. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching!
You said that you were aware that Hyundai/Kia engines are problematic. This is your fault for buying the Veloster, not Flying Wheels for selling it to you. BTW, why when businesses are successful do you consider them scammers? Is it because you don't have as many followers or you're not as successful?
Scammed? Where's the "scam"? You've wasted everyones time waiting for the "scam" part of the story...
He bought the car in good faith.
shut up, he got robbed
The scam is selling a broken shitty car under false pretenses that it's fine?
Bought a used car sometimes you win sometimes you loose. I think The dealer will look it over better than you when you trade it.
Sorry for your situation, but you really should have a car inspected before purchasing it. Especially when the terms are, as is. I don't know if the problems would have shown up or not, but as is and no inspection is just negligence.
A lot of insurance companies require someone to go with a someone on a test drive
To be honest you should have put a head gasket in the Toyota Corolla and been back in business for 100,000 more miles. It's more of a car than a Hyundai will ever be. And the Altima with its CVT would have also been a bad choice.
