What do you do when a car you sold has problems right after you sold it?
I recently sold this 2015 GMC Terrain Denali and the new owner called me about a problem shortly thereafter. I thought this vehicle would be problem free as it was serviced by me for the last, almost decade. Unfortunately my crystal ball must have been on the fritz. Now I am left with a dilemma: It needs to be fixed, but who pays for it?

Reassembling the Mustang GT rebuild after it returns from paint and fixing 31 years of broken stuff.

The 1993 Ford Mustang GT convertible project returned from the paint shop, and it is time to put it all back together. In addition to reassembly, there is a few things that need attention after 30 years on the road. The transmission leak, exhaust leaks, window motor, power top and door locks had nothing to do with the accident, but things break, and someone has been here before, so we have some...

In the long run that little bit of warranty work will be worth it. I'm always amazed how you can get those electrical connectors off so easily. For me it's a ride on the struggle bus.

  • @atikovi1
    @atikovi1 Před 2 hodinami

    In these cases, I’ve offered to give some cash back, like $300, but if the customer already took it to a shop and was told it will take $1000 to fix it, that might not work. I would offer to buy the car back, less something for the miles put on, like what the IRS allows, 65 cents a mile, or about $325 in this case. If they got a real good deal, they might decide just to take the $300 good will adjustment and keep it. If you can do it much cheaper, that would be the way to go, but understand, in the buyers mind that might be an open ended implied warranty for when the next thing on the car goes out.

    Always look at the condition of the fuse. If there is a silver spot on the plastic, there is a dead short. If the link just melted away, it is an overload. Note , this does not work so well with square fuses that have female connectors / color plastic body and clear window as the fuse link is too far away.

    That compressor had loads of room around it. So, why did you go through the process of replacing the whole compressor rather than just the clutch, and in place? There's no way of knowing if the used compressor will be noisy, and you have a pretty good idea that all that's wrong with the existing one is the clutch. Of course, I don't have access to that nifty AC service machine, so my first thought does not involve sucking down the system to do the repair.
