Probably going to get one of those jump starters
Hey Scotty, I've left a few comments and I'm not sure if you've seen them... So I thought that I'd try here. I was wondering if you could share your views on the Ford Transit Connect, Dodge ProMaster, Mercedes Metris, Nissa NV? I am an artist and I need the space to transport my paintings and my pets, maybe a nap here and there between jobs.
@scottykilmer Hey Scotty, I’m looking at buying either a Toyota Tacoma or a F150(new or up to three years old) I’ll use it mainly use it for projects around my house, not many heave loads. That’s your thoughts? Love the channel and thanks !! 🇨🇦

I’ve had a 92 Corolla and it still last me with 428,000 km and it’s still on the road no serious problems I’ve only spent probably $500 on repairs in since I bought it thank you Scotty for the advice I appreciate and keep up the good work honesty and straightforwardness takes you a long way
That's nothing, your car can go a lot longer
I would’ve kept it a lot longer but I gave it to my nephew
My hilux has 950k km mileage
My 02 corolla burns a gallon of oil a week unfortunately,that one died so i got a 98 which burned a quart of oil per week both cars have trashy parts and trims,but the le 98 is a little better imo but power steering just went out last week
Not to mention my pulley fell off leaving me stranded
Watching this from the drivers seat in my 04 Corolla on break at work. Best purchase I ever made!
Nice!
I got 278k delivery miles out of mine before selling it. Only thing that ever went out was the starter at 238k. Took 15 mins. Loved that car.
I bet it has ice cold A/C
Sorry to hear that...
I agree! Wonderful cars!
I've been driving my 2002 Celica GTS 6spd manual for 18 years and currently has 393k miles. Still looks new inside and out and runs like a clock. The best Japanese car I've ever purchased.

My son was born today at 12:19. As soon as all the check ups and prodding were done, we sat down to watch our first Scotty videos together (outside the womb). My 8 year old daughter watches with me daily and I plan on doing the same with my son.
He can talk about this in a million different ways. I’ll still listen.
Totally agree! Scotty u r the best!!!
I have never been more tentative to a UA-cam channel like Scotty’s. Thanks for all the great info! You’ve saved me tons of money and given me lots of knowledge.
Hey Scotty, thank you for all the information and keep making gold.
hello and thanks, will do!
Hey Scotty, I love all your videos, and I also love when you review your customer's cars whenever they bring them to you to check out before buying or they need repair
German cars, just like American cars, USED to be good. 😪
A late 80s Mercedes will easily outlive any modern German car. 😅
Z fixation excessive tech and plastic parts.
They still are good. You guys are mixing up reliable with good
I had an 81 and an 89. Both were VERY unreliable, left me stranded, parts came off (tie rod), etc. Yes, both were bought new, both built in Germany, both arrived with factory defects and both had perfect maintenance.
@@wholeNwon that's unfortunate, but on the flip side it's not unusual to see them running around with over 300k miles. 🤷♂️
@@pawelodziomek4908 they cant be good if they are sitting in your driveway broken down though.
I've been there with a 5 year old 42k mile BMW, trans gasket failure. Let alone finding metal in the engine oil.😅
You don't need to buy a Christmas tree when you own a vw
Have you owned a VW? The only issues I have had with my three Jetta's is electrical - windows. That was it. None of my Jetta's ever left me stranded on the road.

@@joeychitwood6004 Just because you had no problems with your VW doesn't mean they're good.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What does that mean?
Scotty “get a mechanic like me”
Me “I don’t trust any mechanic except you”
Scotty, I can't find a mechanic like you!
You post in a wavy manner, for 59 years.
Just bought myself a 2021 Toyota Corolla today, traded in my 2018 Ford Escape, no regrets at all!
Love the channel. You inspired me to start my own channel. Keep up the good videos. You helped me start my own channel.

Scotty we love you, keep doing amazing job
thank God there are honest mechanics out there still, and people by extension. Thanks Scotty

I have a client, who owns a Camry that I have serviced since day 1, never been to the dealer, just passed 500k. It even has the original transmission!

Nice to listen to with all good info.
1:02 Why would you even think about buying an electric car from a company that can't even do electrical correctly in a gasoline car?
That is so deep bro
Because its hand made
The only Volkswagon I've been in was a Scirocco. It was a fun, tight handling, sporty vehicle. Friends with Volkswagons complain about the cheap plastics, and expensive repairs. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. I may do some repairs on one for my channel just to show people what can commonly go wrong with them.
I really hope you get to try one of those Gazoo (sp?) Racing cars, Scotty! I'd love to hear your professional opinion and review of such a boutique car.
Morning Scotty!!
Just want to share my experience on my 4 yr old isuzu mux. It has a 3.0l engine.
Thanks to your videos i managed to keep it running like a dream. GM's influence really sucks. Planned obsolescence indeed.
I just added an oil catch can and it prevented problems like intake and sensor problems on which costs alot to replace here.
Keep 'em videos coming., cheers from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Scotty! Do more mini documentaries! We love it!
Thanks for this!
By the way. Planning on getting a Toyota Vios made in PH or a Toyota Avanza made in Indonesia I think, and both 1.3 MT 2020s. They any good here in the Philippines? Thank you!
Scotty, I love the way you use those cat pillows for skullduggery!😄👍
What I love best about this guy, he here/in the garage trying to save a person a buck and fairly pricing his time.
Thanks for the Love Scotty!
Great advice from a great mechanic, thank you Scotty, I have made good car buying decisions because of you.
My 2008 KIA sportage still runs like new. Interior is like new. All the plastic and switches are like it just rolled off the lot. 200k, basically no trouble.
except KIA engines catch FIRE.

I have 2012 VW Tiguan with 120k miles. Couldn’t be more happier. Never had big issues. Just regular maintenance.
My previous car was Mercedes E320 2005 cdi (diesel). 285k miles on it. Still running like a charm.
I think it’s more about how you drive it then the actual brend.
Oh boy. I have the same model with 103k miles. Thus far, I’ve rebuilt the head, there’s low oil pressure, roof leaks, trunk jamming. The worst car I’ve ever bought.
Recently drove my 1999 Civic EX from Milwaukee to Phoenix. No problems at all even driving the the Rocky Mountains.
Just get a celica, never buy a car again
Nest video: why you shouldn’t buy a Celica
Booger McFarland
only 6 gen
Or buy a Camry, or a Sienna, or a 4runner, or a Sequoia, or a LX450🤩
my 91 celica was my greatest most reliable car.
I got one too.
A brand new one.
Yes you are not dreaming
Located at aisle 12 at the local Walmart store where they have those scaled down model cars. I think my will out last Scott's.
I bought an 06 Honda Civic, best decision i have ever made!
I bought a 09 back in Jan. did a full tune up and it runs like a clock. I bet I'll get 200k out of her, not bad for 6k cash.

I recently bought an 07 Ridgeline, great so far. My wife still loves her 93 Civic EX. She refuses to let me buy her anything else (except motorcycles).
@@upsidedowndog1256 A friend of mine has an 06 Ridgeline with 275k!!
A couple of years ago, my uncle owned a skoda Laura (He has a superb now along with other cars). On his way to work, he hit a pothole and that was the end of the front suspension. The tire that hit the pothole got swollen somehow and he had to drive that thing to work. It was one of the deadliest things he has done. In India these VW group cars are considered one of the safest. They may be in crash tests but they're not when it comes to stuff like this. Unfortunately, there aren't many Toyota models here in India. However we do have Maruti Suzuki, which is basically the Toyota here. Their cars are stupidly reliable. The maintenance cost of a Suzuki swift for 5 years is under like 300 bucks. Insane.
In unique circumstances, cars do rust in the desert. I read a story of a car sitting the desert for years. A person wanted the doors off of the car for the restoration of another car like it. However, the doors were rusted out. What had happened is that during dust storms, dust settled in the doors, eventually filling them with dirt. Then, when it did rain, the dirt would get wet and stay wet a long time, rusting the door out.
“Madman” love the pic you used lmao
Scotty, you couldn’t be more right. I own a Hellcat AND a few other cars including a Prius, and I make videos with both of them. They are a great pair of cars to own together.
I’m not even a mechanic but I so want that fancy scan tool!
My 2007 Jetta TDI goes like a top! Love it.
Scotty lol I love your videos. Your always honest been watching you for a while now.
My favorite mechanic👍🏽👍🏽
Even in sim racing, I drive only Japanese cars. No problems what so ever. Starts right up every time.
I’m surprised Scotty didn’t get rid of his American wife and get himself a Japanese wife made by Toyota.
He’s smart enough to know that any wife no matter where they originate are just endless money pits
@@MrThatnativeguy marry up like I did hahahaha rich farmer's daughter ;)
🤣🤣🤣

I think he should. He's probably the embassador of Japan because he loves Toyotas so much.
Funny enough, I have 2 similar cars.
A 2012 Seat Leon with a 1.4 TSI and a manual gearbox and a 2009 Lexus RX450h
I bought the Seat new and now it has 90000 miles
So far I had to replace the brake booster, Intake heat exchanger (it was leaking coolant into the intake), fix the turbo wastegate (extended the rod from the actuator by 1/3 inch), and serpantine belt tentioner and rollers (maintenance item)
The Seat is made in Spain, and yes it is less reliable then I'd hoped, it isn't a nightmare like I feared.
I bought the lexus last year from its original owner (he bought it new) with 140000 miles
There, I replaced the water pump (preventative maintenance), both rear shocks, front suspension bushings (I consider those wear items too)
Literally because of Scotty Kilmer I just bought my first Toyota ever- a 2021 V8 Land Cruiser beast. Last model year for the Toyota V8? I hope not but it’s looking that way. I wanted to get a new one before they disappear. Thanks Scotty!
Evening Scotty!! Cheers from South of Italy! Sei il numero uno! ❤️🇮🇹

Hey Scotty, keep up the good work. What do you think about GM and Honda new alliance? Can you do a video on that please?
Please make a FJ Cruiser video where you go hands on and talk about the good and bad. Great videos. Take care. 👋
I have a 2014 Jetta and I don't like it all that much. I'm getting ready to get rid of it before it starts breaking.
I have owned multiple Volkswagens & have NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES with any them. They have always been dealership serviced & each one reached 200,000 miles before I “retired” them

2011 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 SEL with an 6 speed automatic transmission

Same here, piling on miles and the worst thing that happened was a pre cat o2 sensor went bad

Hey Scotty I’m looking at a 1998 Volvo S90 with only 79,505 miles on it for about 2 Grand, what are your thoughts on this car? Any issues that were common for the 90s or so forth? Love to get an input, love your videos have learned so much - Keep it Up!
22 yrs ago made in Sweden. Electronics were basic. I know someone who has a 2000. Not a 25,000 a yr vehicle. He drives 8-10K. Still can find parts
Granted I do love German cars, however I can say that I've owned German cars for the past 3 years and I've never had major issues. Only minor things. My cars get regular oil changes and are correctly looked after.
Man it really does come down to the user. If it is appropriately maintained and genuinely taken care of many cars are good. User error is where people blame the cars for something wrong when it was not the cars fault.
@@NoOne-oe3co exactly. And my cars have always been over 10 years old, never new so it really does come down to how they're looked after. People expect a car to run forever without proper attention, or expect them to fix themselves haha
Mine were correctly maintained and were very unreliable.
@@wholeNwon new or used?

An 04’ Civic Hybrid.
Runs and looks like its new
I have a honda 15 years old and engine still runs like clock :) --- knocks on the wood --- I will not sell it until it completely gives up on me.
Update: if my next home has a big garage, I may keep my car as a back up vehicle :) I drove all around the US btw . Wife and I drove all the way from canadian border to mexican border, from atlantic side to pacific side. Honda definitely knows how to make loyal customers.
Btw my extended family and I owned various brands (I don't want to get into the details but from very high end to budget brands) honda and toyota make very reliable cars with very little maintenance needs. Just change oil regularly, put gas and you are good to go :)
I should have done the same. 2012 Civic 9.5 years old 350,000kms runs like a dream. Maintained it perfectly and it ran like new. Decided it was time to move on. Sold it for $3,800 uncertified

@@NoahPARK82 purchased in May 2011. That year they rushed out the new model
Just check engine mountings and seals every 50 thousand km, replace when needed, also do radiator coolant change every 50 thousand km. Those are not expensive, and you will be fine.
@ I agree. They don't need to be replaced every 50K miles
Japanese cars are better because they are made according to their customers tastes unlike American cars who only wants profit
Hi scotty, I hope there is a mechanic like you here in BC Canada
Scotty your right every time I see your
Videos. I’m also a mechanic now for over 24 years. One huge thing I see from customers is they do not want to do their basic maintenance. Don’t get me wrong I totally understand they are expensive these days. But if you do basic service work oil change . Fluid services . Spark plugs. Your vehicle will last longer. Just my personal experience. Keep up the great videos .

Guess I've been lucky! I have owned VW's the last 18 years with only needing to do routine maintenance. I love my TDi, great mileage. That said I changed my oil, timing belt and serviced the transmission in accordance with VW's recommendations.
Preaching to the choir Scotty.
The laughing pictures, hahaha
my advice is when you buy a used car make sure to put it on the list because the scanner will not tell you when the fuel filter was changed or how the gas lines are or anything like that yes you do have to put a scanner on it to find out the air fuel ratio
I was in the market a couple of years ago to buy a sports car and had narrowed my choices to a used Porsche Cayman S, a new Mustang GT or a new Nissan 370Z. I went with the Z and have been totally satisfied with its performance and build quality.
Fancy scan tool plus cold ac. 😂
I rented a 2019 Jetta. Pretty bad for 17,000 miles on it.
I paid 50 $ at Gilson in biloxi ms. He did a Excellent job , it needed a alternator and the seller fixed it .I bought a 2009 Toyota Sienna. I love my Sienna
I own a 2012 VW Jetta 2.5 SE 99k mi, absolutely love the little black car. I’ve had it only for a year, since it had 75k mi. It’s a 9-year old car, spent all of its life in MN and now WI, but has no rust whatsoever. Interior intact, no problems that were the car’s fault so far except that once at 92k mi I had to change the leaking valve cover gasket and the spark plugs (but those were due anyway). I did buy it with a history of auctioning for $6300. I saw the damage on the auction pictures and know it was auctioned off for $4300, so that wasn’t a bad deal considering the auction fees and the repairs made (all cosmetical). I only bought it because I had to make a decision fast (within a day or two) and my only other option for that kind of money was a plain Jane red Civic with 135k mi, 60k more than the loaded Jetta. I knew I wasn’t planning on keeping it forever, so I’ll probably sell it somewhere between 120-150k mi. Yes, I do plan on upgrading to a Toyota or Honda SUV in the future but I think calling VWs “horrible piles of junk” is relevant only if they weren’t taken care of by their owners even though they were made in Mexico.
I got a 1990 camry. Only 160 k. Love it super reliable

Scotty, did you work with an orchestra, if not you should, they way you wave your arms could give rise to some good tunes. I love your videos but you've never spoken about a Honda HRV which I have ,it's a 2001 model and just replace the cambelt and pulley, what a job.
I totaled my 2009 matrix twice... (high school) smoked pounds of reefer in it, no two tires were the same and Toyota’s reports came up clean, traded it in no problems
Scotty, you are One of the rare persons who says the thruth about German cars, they are pieces of hopeless. Grettings from Swiss
Could you enable auto-cc on this video, please? I'm deaf and it's just more accessible to everyone.
My first car was a 1998 ford escort with 160,000 miles. Had regular maintenance done. Drove it for 6 months, the a/c compressor seized and my serpentine belt was ruined (luckily nothing else broke 😅). Got a 2000 Honda Civic ex with 198,000 miles that had regular maintenance done: timing belt change (at 150,000) miles as well as other crucial parts that should be change by that time. Still runs like a dream (it currently has 207,000 miles). Only parts I had to change, were the shocks. They were the OEM ones that came with the car from the factory😂😂😂 (solid shocks if they lasted 200k miles). *If you're planning to buy a old civic (92'-00', get an alarm installed; costs $200 to get the part with installation, by Best Buy)
Scotty, what do you think of the Toyota CH-R? You have a lot of videos; I don't know if you've talked about them.
Are they any good? Should I go for one or save for another 2 years and go for a RAV4?
Thanks!
“LEAN MANUFACTURING PROCESS”
kaizen
5'S Japanese
I'm reading up on Toyota and Lean Manufacturing, and they created a game changer that has left the rest of the world racing to try to figure out how to even catch up. Create a process that produces a high quality product that you can sell for cheaper than the competition while making more profit per unit? I think the learner has become the master and won capitalism.
@sploofmonkey yeah, you right, Edward Deming created circle quality.

"Elementary, my dear dumb, dumb!"
RIP Harvey Korman.
We had an old 1965 German made Beetle. It was mothballed when the last of reliable former dealer mechanics died and my go-to parts store of volkswagen parts has closed down. My issues before were usually electrical as it runs on 6V then converted to 12V. Its always electrical.
I have a 1997 Jetta trek... Still runs like a champ..... But it's true newer vws just don't hold up as they age.... But older ones they can run forever if you maintain them... Oil changes etc...
What about Lexus made in Canada???
You might want to check out how much the parts cost vs the Japan made model. My NA built Lexus RX 330 has headlamps that are outrageously expensive compared to the Japan made model. Also I have a towing prep package and the parts for that are way more expensive. I had no idea until they went bad and I had to replace them.
Jaguars make great lawn ornaments 😂🤣 thanks Scotty!! Be safe in our crazy times 👍🏻
Good Evening Scotty!
evening!
Hey Scotty, my family has owned 3 vws and 3 Lexus (lexi?). Both have been good car brands to us. Never left us stranded. Right now I have a 2010 Golf with the 2.5 5 cyl and it’s got over 260k with just general maintenance. But you made a point once. If you buy a German car, make sure it’s made in Germany. My golf is. Most Americans that have issues with VW’s are the ones made in their Tennessee plant. Americans just don’t know how to make german cars.
the germans will find a way to over-engineer electric motors too
I'd rather say "overcomplicated"
@Grizzly Reaper Well actually neither one, I just like simple, reliable cars that I can easily work on. Unfortunately the german cars I owned (except Mercedes 190e) were everything except "reliable". But I'm sure a very succesful self taught mechanical engineer like you don't care about that😂
@Grizzly Reaper tesla can do more for less i8 n Porsche suck to much and can't do much
@Grizzly Reaper just cause its german doesn't mean is better lol or foreign
You say that now because Japanese cars haven't gotten there yet. Years will pass by and you'd be the same person praising your lame Japanese car after they've waited years to adopt technology the Germans have progressed from. 😋
Imagine seeing a laughing scotty as the animal thats laughing 😂
We're following your advice and looking at Toyota Highlanders, thinking about a 2020. The used ones we're finding aren't that much less. Would you stay away from the hybrid for an extra $1500 and the potential for more repairs/battery issues down the road? Or just keep it simple, buy more gas and go regular? We're retired and hope to keep it for a long time but I sure do love good mpg. Thanks.
got a 2020 highlander in july it's been the best car multiple cross country trips get about 40 mph highway and 36 in the city
