Two Things To Do After Buying a Used Vehicle
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 10. 2019
- After you buy a new used vehicle, It's important to make sure it's in the best condition possible. This means both protecting the paint so it can last as long as possible, as well as performing all of the service interval maintenance items to ensure it stays reliable. I bought a new to me, 2015 F150 and I took it to Automotive Aesthetic to get the paint clean and protected with a Ceramic Coating. Then I went down to Florida to visit Mack Motorsports who performing an extensive list of maintenance items. Know I can drive my truck for the next 80k miles knowing that there should be no issues and all I'll need to do is change the oil.

I would do maintenance before cleaning, so car won’t get dirty and oily while maintenance
Wafi 31 he got it serviced before detailed I believe. It’s a Florida truck and I think that service shop is in Florida
trickytrick in the video description he says he went to the maintenance after the detailing.
@@ZelniteMH Truck is clearly paint corrected in the maintenance portion. So you are correct.
There’s something to be said both ways. If your having the maintenance done by a shop I might encourage you to detail it prior... I’ve been working in and around shops for a while, and if an owner takes care of his car then the people working on it will treat it much differently.
But coming back after the maintenance is done to, as some would say, dial it in- is important!!
The other way of thinking is doing maintenance first! Haha
No ones wrong!
the cleaner the engine is the . easy is to look for any damage cables or stuff that is in bad shape inside the engine no old grase or coolan
"This vehicle was very well maintained by a Ford dealer"...30 seconds pulls out an engine filter darker than night
Ford service intervals are a JOKE. Apparently the interval for all the drivetrain fluids is 150k miles! No thanks!
@@GearsandGasoline 150k miles is wild, no way. Congrats on the truck!
@@GearsandGasoline Ford QuickLane tech here, the recommended service intervals is actually 80k on those F-150s. Some of the cars they recommend 100k, but I'd personally do that shit every 50k myself and my dealer (chain of dealers in my state) recommends those fluids every 75k. I'd recommend new cabin/engine air filters every 3-4 oil changes and change the oil religiously every 4000-4500 miles. Our customers who do that have the longest lasting trucks. Just the other day I worked on a 2012 F-150 with the 5.0l in it that had 290,003 miles on it. They're great trucks. The highest mileage beast I've ever worked on was a 2002 F-350 7.3l Diesel, 524,059.2 miles. The truck had never had an issue, other than a couple minor leaks. Not even half a quart of oil between changes. Ford does make some of the most reliable vehicles out there, and they do make some piles of shite, like the Escape, EcoSport, Fiesta, and the Focus. Also, the smaller EcoBoost engines are trash. The 2.0l and 3.5l are the only decent ones. But the 2.7l, 1.5l, and 1.6l Ecos are all trash. Take care of the truck and she'll last you a good long time without any trouble at all. Also, those air filters get black really quickly. Just thought I'd add that. I've seen them go black in as low as 15,000 miles on those trucks. You wouldn't believe how bad the diesels go through them.
@@enlightenedrenegade472 the 2.7 EB is a great engine! Don't try it!
@@DRII-yv1yt I have personally seen a 2.7 Eco with blown piston rings at 49,000mi. And it was taken care of. And not ripped on or abused. He had fuel in his oil. He ended up junking a 3 year old truck and buying a 5.0 and he's already put 35,000 trouble free towing miles on it.
You know a channel is good when they can make a simple topic like this so interesting
PeteM i can truly say they make some of the best videos on CZcams lol
I think you mean make an ad. I don't mind them doing ads but don't treat us like we are idiots. Just tell us you wanna do an ad for this shop
Interesting for the dull witted or someone with a personal stake in this ad.
1:04 looks like pulling up to a los santos customs in GTA
I usually drive in while the door is still down
“That’s should do the trick”
"What can the best mechanic in LS do for you?"
GTA 7 graphics
Brian Vargas what graphics mode? Lol
"Was very well maintained before he purchased it by ford" Took out air filter that was probably a factory one from 2015.
My thoughts exactly....
Agree. Cleaning/chaning air filter every 3-6 months is a must
Actually, no. I'm a Ford QuickLane tech, and an experienced one at that, and that right there is a Motorcraft air filter, not a FoMoCo factory filter. The factory ones are white. The replacements are yellow. The part number is FA-1883, actually. What I'm surprised by is that they didn't take the cabin out and replace it. But those air filters will start to look like that after about 5 months on those trucks. I work on at least 7 Coyote F-150s a day (just like this guy's truck) and a lot of them come back within a few months for a new air filter. That truck does sound like it was well maintained. Ford usually recommends doing a pan, gasket & filter transmission fluid service, spark plugs, and coolant flush at 100k. They also recommend inspecting the drive belts, cooling hoses, and just a thorough check in the engine bay at 100k. And then obviously replace anything that needs replacement. Ford's service intervals on the F-150s are a little weird. I'd never take any of that to 100k. I'd do all of those things every 50k. It's cheap enough. And my 2010 Fusion is about to hit 150k, so I'm gonna change the manual transmission fluid, spark plugs, and flush out the coolant pretty soon here. Can't hurt.
@@enlightenedrenegade472 I have a winter beater volvo 940 and it has 280k miles on the clock and still original AT trans oil and diff oil. Replacing stuff at 50k just sounds little hysterical.
Ford Motor Company marketing BS calls it "lifetime fluid" the Diff/Trans schedule is 150k KM or 93k Miles. Check this out: czcams.com/video/WaPJJ3hUHN0/video.html
For anyone that might be asking, the detail on the truck with the ceramic coating costs $1685. Prices vary drastically depending on the type of detail and the type of vehicle.
Gears and Gasoline so where are you guys located and where can I get this done in St. Louis.
Gears and Gasoline this was my first time watching a video on your channel, it was excellent thank you. I’m currently in the market for a used F-150. How much did all the maintenance work cost, P&L? Thanks again.
What soap did you use in the foam cannon?
Thanks for info
How much was the truck and how many miles now?
Dude my car wasn't even that clean when I bought it new.
Mine didnt even have a air filter and its twin turbo so that could've gone bad
New cars are very dirty. It is important to clay bar a new car to get all the rail dust out of the paint. Car paint care done right is very time consuming but worth it if you plan on keeping the vehicle.
What did you get? LOL
FIRST thing u should do when buying used car is maintenance
Fly high Daniel ♥️
These ads are gold, they better be paying you guys more than a free car wash lol
mark safronsky shoot, there’s a place where I live that does ceramic coating with a 5 year warranty for $900 imagine how much they charge for a full detail like they did to his truck PLUS the ceramic coating? I think a free detailing is probably a fair trade all things considered
@@OneStarVic That price is outrageous
@@dorkultra not it's not that actually really cheap
@@dorkultra detailers gotta get paid for their work, you know
@@dorkultra Detailing and coating a cars take over a day. It's a good price considering the labor and warranty.
Very well maintained by Ford dealership (10:26).... pulls out air filter.....
It was a motorcraft filter though :/ Ford service intervals are self deprecating.
I would rather service my car THEN detailed it
Honestly that's the way to go if you are on a budget. Plus you can do engine oil change and all by yourself and save a bit of money too
@@v8_sami you think this guy is on a budget? Hes loaded
alexander1485 he obviously wasn’t talking about him
Palm Coast Adventures bruh, this detailing costs like $1800
Just watch Chris fix
Is it just me but do these videos about cleaning and detailing cars always make me feel soft and gooey inside
Thanks for choosing me!!
Do you have a coyote or ecoboost? 🤣
alexander1485 probably the 2.7L ecoboost lmao
Pmike404 2.7 is faster and gets better MPG. Oh and more reliable.
@@maxboya 2.7t more reliable than 5.0 n/a v8? I doubt it
@@maxboya the ammount of issues and also motors that have been replaced in 2.7 F-150's is insane. working at ford non of us would ever tell anyone to buy a ecoboost ford, especially the 2.7. 5.0L is a much more reliable platform.
I was thinking about exactly what to do while buying a used car when this was uploaded
pancake With Syrup good for you
pancake With Syrup okay
I’m also a huge advocate for preventative maintenance, it’s great to see someone using their platform to say spend the money on quality parts and do the work before the car breaks down, especially if it is a daily driver
there should be an asterisk at the end of the title saying "*if you have the money"
I'm sure all of G&G viewers live paycheck to paycheck. Myself included.
DIY😉
A few utility accessories would be very helpful too. Some molded floor mats and steering wheel cover, and tint to drop interior temp in a hot day.
I just want to say thank you for all your content! You guys make amazing detailed videos. I’m always excited to watch everything you post!
Been subbed for a few years now and there has been no shortage of amazing quality content videos! Yall deserve everything you got and everything you'll get!
Water pump and Timing belt are my first two things to worry about. However after that then a detailed cleaning comes.
So buy a car, and spend the same amount into cleaning and maintenance
how much that truck cost in US?
SheetFiber4488 $25,000-30,000
Crack Demon woah. In my country it’d cost around 250-300k 😂
@@justanothercarguy7134 thats in US dollars
@@SheetFiber A good condition used 2015 F-150 5.0l Platinum can still run $35,000-$50,000. They're reliable as all hell, they're strong, and they're actually extremely luxurious trucks, if you'll believe it. Platinum trucks will go for insane amounts of money but I've never heard a dissatisfied customer in my experience working for Ford so they must be pretty damn worth it.
Was not expecting to see Daniel from Automotive Aesthetic. Brought a smile to my face. He was one of a kind. Exceptional job as always from those guys.
This was the nicest and most informative videos I've ever seen concerning cars in like...forever.
Gears & Gasoline, more like Cut & Buff, amiright?
Love the content as always, Bens!
I just bought a 2015 F-150 earlier this year and I've loved it so far!
Y'all make my Saturdays with this videos. Keep up the fantastic job
Back at it again with the killer quality videos guys! All of your content rocks!
This is awesome. I'd love if you kept making videos on your truck, strange enough. Keep us updated.
Is it just me or does 1:08 look like the exact scene from gta when entering los santos
Always loving those Automotive Aesthetic videos! Keep ‘em coming!
Congratulations Ben! Hope you enjoy it all the way through.
He already put 7k miles on it after buying it just a month ago?! Damn! He must drive a lot
He was talking about doing cross country trips with it
Lol I but that on my car within a year lol I don’t drive that much
For me even if the oil was literally changed the day before I got it I’m gonna change it so I know what’s in it
I love it when a vehicle gets "the works". I guess it just makes me happy to see a vehicle being treated with the proper respect.
You guys really need to make more videos with the guys that detail the cars. Very enjoyable
6:50 and 7:35 there’s quite a beautiful yellow gem seen in the reflection of that gorgeous Ford paint.
How do you *lose* power on a tuneup?
I'm thinking the ECU had to do some re-larnin' to the new components. Curious what it would be after a few days more of driving it.
This is sooo good. Every time i hear Automotive Aesthetic, i like fangirl inside because a well detailed vehicle is the best vehicle. BUT, maintenance items should be done first yet i understand why he had it detailed first: Maintenance items are easier to see if undercarriage is at least clean. But everytime, you guys make the best car topic vehicles. I thank you guys!
Roush exhaust and JLT intake on that. puppy and the Coyote will SCREAM!!! Stoked to see a truck on. the channel. keep up the sweet content!
Wish that detailing shop was closer to where I stay.
M D we had a type R come down from MD last week:)
Buy a used car? Step 1: $4000 in paint correction, more than I typically spend on my cars. lol JK; love the content. Thanks
Just do it yourself in 2 days
Who says we don't come here for truck content? I love this ! I'm currently truck shopping and torn between a low mileage pre owned truck and a first Gen. Raptor
I needed this video I just bought a new(to me) car yesterday and I pick it up Tuesday
I think you should first do the repairs and then get it cleaned
The question everyone is wondering now is how much did you spend on all that? 😳
The maintenance for parts alone would maybe be close to $1000, and the detailing is AT LEAST $1000
It's an ad so I dont think it cost them anything
@@AbdulALMadhee hopefully
@@toad3222 what do you mean by hopefully..it's a sponsored video by these companies..they didn't paid. But the truth is everyone else should pay for that and that's the thing
@Palm Coast Adventures i meant everyone else who WANTS to do that..has to pay..
Love you're film style and documentary style videos! Keep it up
Dang! Automotive Aesthetic does excellent work!! Way to bring that finish back to life!
Here I am just sitting, wishing I had the money to do all of these replacements up front after buying my car just recently.... Guess it’ll just all have to add up eventually.🤷🏻♂️
Fr I'm lucky to change every fluid when buying a car. I at least do the oil change though.
G&g in 10 years: My million miles truck
I also just bought a Ford Vehicle 'Ford EcoSport'... I really get inspired by your videos. Your entire team is great 😍
I’m think I’m going to buy a Focus XR5 turbo when I get my licence in 2 weeks and I really appreciate this video
Money bags with a platinum!! 💰 jk, but seriously, I work at a Ford dealer and the 15-17 5.0 F150s are a very good trucks, they went downhill in 18... but this truck will last you forever! Congrats!🎉
Thanks! I wanted that 6 speed and not the 10 speed!
@@GearsandGasoline I can't blame you!! The six speeds are unkillable! You'll get lots of life out of it! 👌
I had a 10 speed as a rental and I was not impressed with it at all.
How did the 18's go down hill? Are the dual fuel injection systems unreliable?
@@coltonsanford9759 The injection system is fairly reliable on them so far but the main concern with them is ford swtiched to a plastic oil pan for the 18 model year. These pans aren't worth much and they leak from the factory (5.0s go through them almost every second oil change) but Ford is trying to figure out a soloution to this as we speak. The worst and most concerning part with them is Ford switched to a new/different laser cutting system for the blocks and now the 5.0s eat oil, every 5.0 does past the 18 model year but its just how much, Ford has a TSB (technical service bulletin) for this issue and if the truck burns more oil than what is allowed, they get a brand new enigne block basically (and in some cases a whole engine). So if your gonna buy a new F150 buy a 3.5 ecoboost, the 2.7 liter motors are not good at all either 😅
That’s amazing, it looks like a freaking forza game.
its amazing how much detail is in this process
Like @PeteM Said This channel knows how to make simple topic so interesting, exciting and enjoyable in every second that makes you you don't want to skip any details in the video. That's why I love this channel
Meanwhile, the check engine light on my 97’ 7.3 has been on for so long, the light went out. Still has the codes, but it won’t show on the dash. Been well over a year lmao.
@1:03 "what brings you in today"
"Whats wrong with her now?"
F150 is a tempting muscle truck! Especially hands over to you guys, that truck is so lucky.
That is the most cared for and spoiled and reborn F-150 in the world. Beautiful truck!
I laughed when they said we lost peak power even after they took out that dirty ass filter lol
what if u find a dead body in the trunk?
You now can use the Car Pool Lane
Truck videos are now relevant to me, I just bought a 2016 Ram 1500 so I can tow and not beat on my STi all the time
This makes me REALLY want my ST professionally detailed and paint corrected. I bought it used at 38,000 miles and it's not terrible, but it's seen better days
How much does a detailing like that cost?
@SirCaptainSlowly I'd understand doing this to a sports car or a luxury car, but a truck that is going to be on the road every day as a work horse in all types of horrid conditions? Makes absolutely no sense. The only thing i'd do to this truck is add paint protection film to the front bumper to help against stone chips and that's it.
@@ARDEN440i I was thinking the exact same thing. It defiantly looks way better but on a vehicle you are going to daily drive and put that amount of miles on, I see this as nothing but a waste of money.
@@ARDEN440i I use my Tacoma for everything work related. Hauling bikes, trailers, wood, engines, project car parts. Still detail it, usually monthly, sometimes weekly. 5 years in and it still looks, feels and drives better than new. There absolutely is a point, it's called pride of ownership.
@@carter240 I mean if you're in a financial situation where you can afford 1k+ detailing jobs on your truck monthly and weekly, then you do you.
@@ARDEN440i its called doing it yourself. The cost for the tools will be the same as if you paid someone else to do it but then you have them forever. You're also not doing a 2 stage correction every week. The point is, taking care of it will go a long way for many many years. I've never once felt the need to buy a new truck because the one I have still feels new. That in itself has saved me thousands. Too many idiots owning a truck for 2-3 years and sell it once it "feels old" when all it needed was a good cleaning.
Literally replacing things just cause
Those brake had a lot of life left in them
Yar Nunya you're a stupid moron. Brakes aren't a set mileage item. When they're worn, you replace them whether it's 10,000 miles or 100,000 miles. I'll guarantee you with the age and mileage of that truck and as much material there was one those pads that those brakes were put on pretty recently, not the factory. He's just as super spoiled rich kid that buys stuff just because he can.
When all the parts and labor are free it's easy to replace everything. If these dudes actually had to pay for things like this it would be a different story.
And content like this is the reason why I'm subscribed and the notification bell is on.
Finally, I wish Automotive aesthetics would do an own CZcams channel with detailing videos
How much did this all cost tho
More than that I think but he got it for free
This all looks extremely expensive 😆
So satisfying to watch
This was super informative, I’ve been holding back on a color correction on mine
after buying that truck you should take your cousin out for a date to see nascar and eat burgers
How much would it cost me to clean a car like that?
DaC4po find your nearest detailing shop! It will really depend on the car, demand, and the job they provide that will factor in the price. Could be as cheap as $100 from your local automatic car wash that also can do some sketch detailing, or well over $1k with a ceramic coat layer included
@@OneStarVic thanks. asking cuz i dont have a car yet but its a near future so i just wanted to have an idea
@@herobrinenuno you dont need to detail your daily to this extent. This detail is well over a thousand dollars. Get your vehicle mechanically sound before you clean anything.
@@Turshin i mean id probably do it after taking care of the mechanical stuff and then just once every 5 years or something like that
This video made my weekend. Well done guys
I love to see people take care of their cars.
reliable: gets Ford anyways
Love my Ford trucks. Never give me any problems.
No trouble on my Ford truck either.
Very helpful information thanks
Thank you for getting the 5.0 that’s awesome.
Literally one of the last things i care about in a used vehicle would be paint
I halfway agree with you on that, if I’m buying a older project car or anything for that matter under $10k idgaf about paint but if I were to buy a slightly used truck for 20-30k the paint better be damn near perfect while its under 10 years old
You’re obviously not a car enthusiast
Step one: maintain
Step two: detail 🤦🏻♀️
So satisfying to watch..
Glad to have a Ford truck on the channel. I'm a huge truck guy so this was cool to see. Time to go get a VMP supercharger put in that puppy. Reliable, useful and Fun.
Ben: “I wanted something reliable”
Also Ben: buys a Ford
Ever heard of a Toyota Tundra???
Jesus Christ its a truck not a McLaren
It's the most expensive vehicle I've ever owned
Its a mp12-4c
Oh fuck yes another automotive aesthetic video, I really enjoy watching those it's so satisfying.
awesome job as always really enjoy your videos guys!
made a video so you could get some free stuff for your car :)
Wants something reliable.
Owns a boosted Subaru, buys a Ford 🤔
I see 30+ year old Fords on the road every day. I've never seen a Subaru over maybe 10 years old.
Idk why I like rewatching this video so much
Literally buying a new to me car today. Nice timing
you got to love these americans like, "i opted for the 5liter v8..." like mate my 318tds is 1.7 diesel and it is expensive!
Wow, thats a beautiful truck.
Great video. Excellent advice
Nice job! hope the truck is good for you
I'm running a 2003 f150 fx4 crew with 212500 on the clock. Puts a smile on face every time I drive
Totally different truck
@@Turshin that I know but Ford is Ford is Ford plus with the coyote would be a blast
Congrats. Awesome truck
Modern engines are designed to handle getting wet. THANK YOU!! I spent 2 days on my turd IS300 5 speed just cleaning the engine plus interior and it’s a 2004 model! Purple Power that engine and don’t be skurd!!
Tip: Don’t let the spark plug holes get wet. It WILL make your Miata misfire.
Please keep the F150 content coming. We get small pick ups (think Tacoma) only in my country.
Love it! Thx 4 this great content
