About a week after I got it I was cleaning it and discovered that the rockers on both sides were rusted front to back and the corner of the cab is rusted. Also had the timing chain issue fixed, low pressure fuel pump replaced, then around mid December it spun the main bearing so the engine was replaced, and now I had it for about a week after that and it needs turbos now because it's throwing P0299 and P0234. And like I said this is all while under a year old and with the truck have less than 78k miles.

I ended up getting rid of my 08 Expedition because of rust issues. Honestly, I'm kinda pissed about that. Mechanically, that truck was good to me. No major issues, and it ran fine. Less than 100k, and it was just rotting out ridiculously, particularly the rocker panels. I was considering putting money into the body issue until I put it up on a lift and saw the frame. Game over. I guess that's just how it is, but it seems ridiculous that a vehicle of that age developed those kinds of rust issues.

Toyota has that a problem with frame rot and they lost a class action lawsuit because of it. I had my 2005 Tacoma frame replaced and it cost $15,000 total + 3000 + rental car cost. The dealership paid the whole amount. Funny thing is, I bought the car used for $3,000, got it inspected a week later, and it sat on their lot until the frame came in 3 month later.

Very good video. Been there done that. A couple years ago I purchased a 2006 F150 from a Chrysler dealer's used lot. Within a couple days it started to knock really bad, missfire, and run ragged. I took it back to see if they could offer me any assistance. They said it needed a timing chain set along with new plugs and several other items to the tune of over $5000. I asked if I could trade it in on another vehicle. I was quickly told that they didn't want that truck back at any trade value. I took the truck to a Ford dealer and they gave me $3000 scrap value towards a new one. I should have bought new in the first place.

It is possible to buy a good used vehicle and it's also possible to buy a really bad new vehicle. Personally, I'd rather buy used as whatever chronic early life manufacturing problems it had will likely be resolved and you avoid loosing 30% value from just driving it off the lot. Just need to get used vehicles throughly inspected and always bring a code reader & flashlight with you. Alternatively, buy CPO w/warranty or do the Doug DeMuro Carmax thing - still cheaper than buying new.

The concept of "designed service life" is the problem theses days. They intentionally build things with a short service life knowing full well things will go bad at the end of warranty. And then they have the nerve to suggest their product is better or of higher quality than something built in China, Korea, or elsewhere because it was built in the USA. Its total bunk! I was floored when at a social gathering in the late 1990's, a Ford engineer told me that they build their vehicles to last 36 months without major problems. I questioned him to be certain i understood him. Bottom line was, they build vehicles to last 36 months. After that, major systems are expected to fail. GM and Chrysler are no different. I guess building things that go to the junk yard in five years is their idea of helping preserve planet Earth too.

I also was a Ford technician @ a Lincoln Mercury Dealership for 12 years and stopped in 2004. So this VCT is all new news to me. Time to get my 07 fixed and trade it in for a F-150 without varable cam timing. I need to figure out what year they did away with it. 2004-2009 5.4L and 4.6L had the cam phaser problem?

Some people health isn’t good enough back etc to be able to roll under it and it could be in a snowy area or muddy and they take the sellers word for it for some reason it feels reassuring when you buy from a dealer because you think it maybe more expensive but there held to higher standard but not always the case

NY may actually pass that. It must be rusted at a suspension attachment point, very specific language. Beyond that it has to drive in, not cracked in 1/2. Would definitely fail for the spring, and the parking brake because the grease will not allow it to work.

@Jack McAvoy Yeah, because basic maintenance really prevents a chassis rusting out - not. Where I live you need a roadworthy certificate to transfer vehicle ownership. One look at the front door and guard should alert to the POS being fit only for the tip. Bad ball joint, broken spring, leaking axle seal, no handbrake, and rusted chassis are all fails. The chassis rust means vehicle write off, no repair possibility.

"Especially family and friends..." You AREN'T joking. I ended up having to help break it to a woman that the Land Rover her relative sold her was basically garbage. Worn out bearings, varnish in the valvetrain looked like oil hadn't been changed in WAY too long. Vacuum leaks. (Including a faulty brake booster.) "Three-amigos" on the ABS/traction control, leaking tranmission fluid, brakes were shot, suspension rusted, it took so much work (fixed amigos, rolled in new bearings, suspension, brakes, etc.) before we were even willing to sign off on it explaining to the next owner it would need 'further work'. And this is what "family" will do to each other. Great video, as usual!

Great video and great advice. Coming from someone who inspects used cars for a living - i can definitely attest to the importance of having someone/somewhere you can trust. There is a lot of dishonesty in the used car business that tries to get passed off to my work place, i've seen every trick in the book when it comes to that. and I guarantee you they do not get re-sold. Having someone you can trust to look at a vehicle before you buy it is a must. You want that investment to last. And never forget - if it seems like its too good to be true - it usually is! However, i must say - the biggest offender i see is "lack of maintenance" I see cars with 100-120k on them and they are absolutely neglected inside and out. What would otherwise be a perfectly good car - needing thousands of dollars of work because the owners just ran them into the ground or didnt follow the maintenance schedule (pay me now, or pay me later!) I feel sorry for your customer and the fact that he is going to be devastated when he finds out the truck he just bought - just bought him. The frame issue alone is scary. I hope he is able to recover from his loss and i'm sure he has definitely learned a life-lesson.

Yep, I used my basic knowledge to the best of my abilities when I bought a new car a couple of weeks ago. I had a trusted garage check it over, and do a full service. I'm now having the timing belt changed, as there is no paperwork for it. A few hundred UK £ invested now, hopefully to ensure an engine that won't go boom a few months later! Invest a little to save a lot kinda thing. Mechanical items will degrade over time, but if you stick to regular maintenance you will have a reliable vehicle more often than not: or you can be stingey, hold back on maintenance and suffer abnormal, excessive damage later on. I think a lot of people now almost see cars as disposable items, drive them in to the ground with no maintenance, then sell or scrap them, which is a real shame.

"Find a mechanic you trust"...wow...Wish there was one. We have about 12 to 15 independent garages by me (within about 15 miles)...ALL have horrible reputations...I don't trust dealerships (and yea, I work for a car company, but the dealership service area is 'technically' not part of the dealership, and are a "for profit" entity). We have a quite a few "chain" places that do work as well, but I don't trust those either (I've had bad luck at 2 of them, and the others have horrible reputations for not doing the work correctly). When we were selling my old Fusion (2006) to our friends I told them "WE NEED TO HAVE THIS CAR INSPECTED" as it had 200k miles on it, and nothing done except regular service. They agreed. I told them, they should hear that it needed plugs (on a V6, that's an $800 job), a new alternator (it was starting to get iffy as I was having some charging issues, but it was a $1000+ job because you have to tear half the car apart to get to it), and more than likely a new battery (as it was 3-1/2 years old). I saw some tire wear that pointed to a ball joint (no big after 200K miles and driving on pot hole laden Michigan roads), it would also need tires since those tires had 50K miles on them. Anyway...the report for the "reputable" mechanic. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT....I told my friends he was full of it. He spent 30 minutes with the car and came back with "perfect". Fast forward 8 months...Plugs, 2 Coils, Alternator, Ball Joint, Battery, EGR valve (that wasn't changed when they did the plugs, so another $800!!!!), and a couple other things. I felt HORRIBLE...and I still do. I KNEW these things, and I told them these things were on the edge...but they believed the "reputable" mechanic...what's worse? That "reputable" mechanic is a master mechanic, and is a family member. They still think he didn't steer them wrong. :( Love your work, you seem to be one of the most conscientious mechanics out there. You, Eric The Car Guy, Humble Mechanic, and a couple others out there give me hope for the trade, but far too many of these guys are out to make as much money as they can, even if that means screwing the customers. :(

The fixes weren’t cheap but the cost of replacing the car would be the same or more than just fixing the car and having no payments.
