    In this video I took an neglected car that was very rough and needed a lot of work and after some long hours and hard work transformed it into something renewed and restored. I repaired the vehicle and it took some effort to get it back working but it was worth it. it was a great transformation

      @@hughoneill6555 Once I've gone through the car and im happy it's top notch I either explain I bought it needing some tlc or I say I knew the last owner via a friend (a little white lie I know to provide some confidence from the buyer, which either way won't make a dot of difference to the car itself at all in reality just makes them feel better) and they wanted to sell it on quickly when they bought a newer car. At the end of the day what ever the "story" behind a car any car has the potential to be a nightmare or a dream for the next owner because things go wrong or maybe not. All you can do as a seller is find and fix anything at that time and sell on a good honest car. And if you think a dealership or independent car showroom does anything differently you would be wrong. They may however offer a warranty which I bet 98% of claims are denied due to being "wear and tear" and therefore not covered.

    11:34 funny enough a cleaned engine bay on a used car is a major red flag for many buyers because it indicates that the car had some type of major mechanical issue that the owner couldn't solve. They try to clean up the engine to make it seem healthy on the surface but they might be hiding something like an oil leak or headgasket leak (although you'll notice these things with other signs as well)
