Here is part 2 of the 4 part used car inspection video this one covers the interior inspection as you can see this car has quite a bit of 'junk' and dog hair in it but things like this can be cleaned, chances are that the car that you're looking to buy will be cleaned out but maybe not even so you should do a thorough inspection of the vehicle that you're looking to by after all it's your money.

In part 3 I cover the under car inspection and to be honest you may not be able to do this part on your own however I feel that even if you aren't able to do an under car inspection you can still learn a great deal during a test drive which will be covered in the next video. I would like to once again stress that it would be more than a worthy investment to take the vehicle that you're considering buying to a professional that specializes in the vehicle that you're looking to buy as this would be your best insurance against any issues you might find yourself stuck with after the sale.

Well we have reached the conclusion of the Used Car Inspection series and in my opinion this is probably the most important video in the series. I feel you can learn more from a test drive than just about anything else that I've covered so far so be sure to take the vehicle you're looking to purchase for a thorough test drive to really shake it down before you commit to purchase.

As I said in the video I've been asked about this video for some time and I was happy to get the opportunity to make it. Now that I think about it however I did not address ABS systems in this video however the Subaru used does have ABS. I'll probably make that amendment in a future Re: video. For the most part however this is how I do it ABS or not.

Used Car Buying Guide & Tips
In this video I go over the basic checks, and practices that one needs to do when buying a new old car. If you stick with this guide then you should greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck with a problem stricken car. Also, this video is intended to address the needs of a cheap used car. I say in the video between 1 and 3 thousand dollars. If you are purchasing a more expensive car you may also need to check into if it has a salvage title, or has it just been painted, and other things, but given the price range this video deals with, those things are not important.

I, Jordan, assume no liability for anything you choose to do to your car, before, or after watching one of my videos, including this one. All DIY repairs, or modifications, you perform to your car are made at your own risk. Sometimes, even if you've done everything the right way, you can destroy, or damage, a piece, or part. You must understand this; part of doing a repair, and/or modification is messing up sometimes. Also, if for some reason, I do give incorrect instructions, and something breaks because you followed my instructions, I still will not reimburse, or pay, in any way, for whatever cost that may be incurred due to following my wrong instructions. Don't do anything to your car unless you yourself feel comfortable, & confident in doing so.

Do Not Buy Another Used Car Until You Have Watched This Video!
In this video, Sam from http://www.professionalfleet.com in Lansing Michigan is telling you what to look when your purchasing a used car. This is the first part of a three video used car inspection series. This is the most important because in a thirty minute drive you can find out so much about the car. You want to see if there is anything that the seller is trying to cover up. Usually nobody is selling a car that is in perfect working order so if you purchase the vehicle you know all the expenses ahead of time.

I'm pretty sure this one is going to draw some fire but I was asked and I've taken some time to respond in kind, in fact this is take 3 of this video, the first take I liked but then I read the Honda article and thought it really fit with the topic so I rerecorded it with some of that article included unfortunately there were technical issues and that video was scrapped so I then taped this one so by the time I got to it I'd already covered this material 3 times. That said I think it's an interesting topic and I look forward to your responses as I'm sure many of you have plenty to say on the subject, I'm already thinking about the Re: video to go with this.

How to Break In A New or Rebuilt Engine - EricTheCarGuy

http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
I'm sure there is more than one way to do this but this is the way that I was taught and it seems to work as intended. The idea is to make sure the engine is fully lubricated before you start it up for the first time as we know all too well what happens to an engine without oil, in fact I forgot to show me filling up the oil filter with oil before I installed it sorry. Feel free to add your tips and tricks in the comments.

Diagnosing Starter Problems- EricTheCarGuy

Once again I team up with BBB Industries to bring you the basic steps in starter diagnosis. If you suspect a bad starter you might want to run through these checks before you commit to get a new one, you just may find that you don't need a starter but rather some other issue is causing the no start.

Does Stop Leak Work? - EricTheCarGuy
http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
As technicians we all have opinions based on our experiences and sometimes the experiences of others, stop leak seems to be one of those things. In my experience it really hasn't done much for me and I haven't seen it perform any miracles but that's not to say that it hasn't at one time or another. I welcome your responses on this topic and look forward to hearing your opinions just be nice.

Whenever you have a no start condition when attempting to start your vehicle it's important to make the distinction between "no crank, no start" and "crank, no start" situations as they are treated differently. This video covers what I do when confronted with a 'no crank, no start' situation and in this case it's a worst case scenario so be sure to watch till the end.
