I have went to my second dealership in as many days and both of the cars that I looked at had check engine lights. When I told the salesman of the matter, both times, the salesman seemed not to know that there ever was a check engine light. As if its not a big deal.
Actually im happy that they left it and didnt reset it only for it to come back later after I potentially would have purchased it.
My question is are check engine lights that serious? I know it can be a loose gas cap, clogged filter, etc, but a lot of cars seem to have this check engine light.
And can a mechanic inspecting a car tell if a check eninge light has been reset prior to sell?
And why dont dealerships know alot about their cars like when timing belt was changed etc.
Sorry to bother yall, but I didnt know anything about cars until 3 months ago and now I know a lot and may be a little too paranoid when it comes to buying a car
