Forum Member's : "How Do I"

I always recommend that its worth spending $50 to have a shop look a car over before spending the $$$.

I ask this question sometimes to the 'fools' (no dissing intended to you) that come into my shop AFTER they bought a used car....

"What made you think you were qualified to buy a used car" ???

I tell all my customer to bring it by BEFORE they buy it.

Even the seemingly intelligent ones go right out and buy first. I have NO PITTY anymore. I just fix them up and take their $$. (They paid for my new Mercedes).

My point is....I have been a 'Master Mechanic for 30 years, and owned 60 cars, and sold at dealerships for 3 years.

People buy used cars with NO knowledge of cars, and then cry when they find out they bought a piece of crap that's gonna take $1-2k to get in decent shape.
