    I would pay you to come out and look at my 3 cars once a year to give me advice and make small repairs.

    Hey Scotty. I love your videos. I am looking to buy a used car and I'd like to hear your opinion. My options are a 2012 Infiniti G37 AWD, 2011 Camry v6, and a 2009 Lexus ES 350. Also looking at a 2011 Maxima with CVT. All priced about the same. What's your take on these models? Thanks

    If you ever dealt with someone selling used cars for a buck on Craigslist,should I worry if it works or not?

    just got a 2012 jeep wrangler sport from a well know dealership in my area with 81k miles
    so far after driving it for 2k miles it hasn't done anything weird

    I love Scotty's videos. He reminds me of the actor Dennis Hopper and Scotty knows A LOT about cars.

    This very simple check can tell you alot about a Car and how the owner took care of it.
    Check the condition of the Oil if it looks like it's been changed regularly.
    Check the radiator and make sure the coolant is a bright color and not rusty looking .
    And last but not least check the Transmission Fluid and make sure it's not black!If it has no pink in it?It will be very obvious the person never cared for the Transmission and if they never cared for the Transmission? then it will be very clear they never took care of the car!
    This is something nobody can hide and a Carfax can't provide just checking these 3 things can tell you everything about the car that you can't see and they can't hide it and if these 3 things are completely neglected?It's a clear sign to walk away from the car as the car is bound not to last and have future problems

    So this is what Steve Perry has been dping all these years……

    Also check carfax pay 40 when you are serious about buying car so anything youve asked the owner aligns with what their telling you. for example, if theyre telling you that they take it to dealer for maintenance it be reported.
