Bought a new 2020 Rav4 before the price went up. It is a basic LE model. No push start, no stop/start, no sunroof, no alloy wheels, which means less trouble in the long run. It is made in Japan (JT vin). With basic maintenance, it will run for a long time without repair.
I can’t believe I’ve been following you for 20 years!!! I was just thinking when I was a teenager posting on your question board everyday learning how to fix my cars!
A new study showed that electric vehicles actually have 80% increase in maintenance costs! Hybrids made by Toyota are so debugged so well their even lower than gas. I paid $1,500 extra for AWD on my 2023 Prius. Love it. Glad I didn't go with the Tesla.
Good evening Scotty! If we could harness your enthusiasm, it would power a whole city! Used cars are the way to go, I average about 170,000 miles on my last 5 vehicles and I paid between $1500 and $7500 (four of them were Toyotas). I've had my Solara up a buck and a quarter several times!
@jordonSEE I suggest you take a look at ProjectFarms undercoating comparison video. Oil was at the bottom of the list in terms of performance. Might I suggest Cosmoline undercoating 👍
If you want "zero" maintenance, then just walk. No gas to buy, not really much to break down, and heck, it might be good for you from a n exercise/health standpoint. And it's FREE. Sorry Scotty, there is nothing such as a "zero maintenance" vehicle. All cars required tires and brakes, at the least, and those are wearable items. I know what you mean though -- one you're not fixing left and right. Some of the items mentioned are not true though. For examples, rotors. If you drive regularly, they generally do not build up surface rust, and the ydon't rust away like Scotty says the ydo. Maybe after 20 years, but my Silverado which I drove hard a lot, had rotors for about 5-6 years, no rust. The only reason they had to be changed was because I would pull trailers that didn't have their own brakes (regular brakes, they had surge brakes but those are junk and don't help much). So the brakes experienced a lot of wear. Same for rust. Even after 11 years in the north (Illinois) the only thing that rusted was the very corner of the tailgate (only about 1" square). Anything can last if it's cared for, and likewise, anything can fall apart if it's misused or not cared for, Even Toyotas.
what do you think you said here you doofus? there's obviously no such thing as a car that requires ZERO maintanence. He's just telling us what to buy to on average avoid the most car related headaches.
I like a comfortable car.. but toyota's seats have gotten narrow and short.. and now in the later generation rav4 my head is way too close to the windshield and A pillar..
The first and most important 3 things to check are the underbody for rust and frame integrity, the underbody for rust and frame integrity, and the underbody for rust and frame integrity.
I purchased a 2013 RAV4 FWD three years ago with 76K miles, it has 109K miles on it now and the vehicle runs beautifully. I put Akabono breaks all around it and had to replace the valve cover gasket, it's been bullet proof. I drive in sports mode around town, eco on long trips, the RAV is an excellent machine.
@@s-man3684 yes I liked the rav4 exterior better and it’s drive train. They didn’t have many in stock so it would be a waiting game. The Hondas were readily available. The CRV hybrid comes standard sport. I think I would do that. I loved the inside of the CRV better. The space and comfort and quietness of the Honda made the mid level Toyota feel small inside and a little cheap. I wish the Toyota just used the Honda interior.
Yesterday, Scotty had a customer that traded an AWD rav4 for a Subaru because the Toyota AWD couldn’t handle Vermont snow. Perhaps Toyota AWD is not really that good.
The RAV 4 is indeed a big seller and very popular where I live on the East coast. I knew someone who bought a brand new one and an oil change package with it. The dealership refuses to change the oil less than every 10,000 miles and this is something that makes me worry. Also, this RAV 4 sure is loud for a new vehicle. Always hearing the motor idling from inside the cabin and some kind of high pitched computer squeal from the center console. They say all of this is normal but discourages me from ever buying one. The owner I know now has 35,000 miles on it after 2 and a half years and has NOT had any problems, so in fairness it has been a great vehicle for him!
Interesting. I have a 16 Rav. Limited. Quiet. Dealer oil package as well. 5000k mile changes no problem. Just turned 50k miles. Most importantly, wife loves it.
I think they all vary depending on the year and the way they are driven and cared for. My friend's is a 2021 and they swear up and down at the dealership you can go 10,000 miles between oil changes. I don't know about the noise, but it's definitely there for their model.@@davidiverson4072
my 2021rav4 limited hybrid is hard to tell it is running or not it is very quiet gets over 40 mpg and has as much quickness as my ram pickup when the hemi-engine
You don't want to power wash your car too often. It's moisture, plain and simple. You need to oil your vehicle if your state uses salt. Krown is an excellent solution.
With AWD, if your vehicle gets a flat tire, depending on the tire wear, you may need to purchase four new tires. Been there, done that. I'll stick with FWD.
That canadian code reader is under a hundred, would be less OEM given volume. So one wonders why when cars have all the data in them, and they have huge screens, why can't you just read it with the car?
I am partial to the Toyota's made in Japan. We had a RAV4 V6 made in Canada. (2011) With tons and tons of minor body issues before 80000 miles (unreal)
bought a used Nissan eNV200 for 11 grand (fully electric), doing nothing on it. and yes, of course the battery will catch fire and burn me alive while being locked in the car, but maybe I have a few more weeks until it happens
These rav4 under 100k are really low maintenance. Oil change, brakes, air filter(engine and cabin), tires, trans fluid drain and fill, front/rear diff drain and fill, coolant drain and fill. All simple to do.
Maybe down in Texas they don’t rust if he gets snow and use salt on the roads Toyotas or rust wagons like everything else they don’t last forever they rust away and I don’t know when the last time you visited a Toyota or a Honda dealership but you gotta make an appointment to get your car in there and get serviced because they’re so busy because you know what their cars breakbreak like GM Ford Chrysler, Hyundai, Jaguar, any other car maker, Toyotas and Hondas brake they do it all the time
Obviously you haven’t driven a Toyota. Yes, I drove a Voyager and it needed a rebuilt motor and transmission, both before 60,000 miles. And don’t try to say it was not maintained. It WAS! I drove a Caravan and it stalled if I was in line, like a bank. I traded it for the Voyager after one year because the dealer could not find a problem after repeated visits there.
I still wouldn't mind having my 2008 rav4. It was fuel efficient and i can beat my iwn 2019 chevy silverado off the line no problem. It was quick and nimble.
I like Scott s videos, learned a lot. However, new and used car market and its sales environment has changed after pandemic. Cars got more expensive and there is not the same flexibility, room for price negotiation. Like it or hate but it is a different environment now. When Scotty tells just walk away from fresh paint, there are other factors to consider in our days before u pull the trigger
if you watch autoline recently they have increased the new car price 40 percent on purpose....make more money by selling less ..that is the new plan...nothing to do with pandemic
In addition to my Rav4 we drive a $22,000 2011 Prius. We never have had a single repair, and to my husband’s friend who taunted him about the batteries na na na na na! Keep on repairing your Fords and Nissans! Oh….all are J cars, made in Japan!
Anti rust oil spray every year.... If you live in one of those crappy parts of the world where it snows, that's the best thing you can do to prevent rust.
The reason we fire fighters and first responders HATE hybrid and electric vehicles... the when the batteries ignite, we need a special powder to put them out or OCEANS of water. Water makes the fires worse if there aren't OCEANS of it. More than a firehouse can provide. The batteries are also high voltage and can kill a human in a split decond.
In Germany, they have a tool that measures the thickness of the paint. If it’s a different thickness on one panel or another, it could indicate a paint job/accident.
I thought it was a good way to check for it. If it’s a common tool, seemed easy to do, we should do it as well. Maybe some do, but I’ve never seen it before.
Absolute....in comparison to all other carmakers for example my one i reved this up to 5000 RPM (but only when its absolutely decent warmed up & when this amazing smoothly engine is with fully syntethic oil equipped, equipped ore full filed only) and the engine is qiet and smoothly as can be, absolutely no oil consumption, absolutely sippy sporty fast, if possible very great suspending even better than my wifes new 2021 rav4 wit its very solid firm almost stiff suspension, i don't like its still better robust feeling than the older Hyundai Kia up to 2018 but still a to rough "bony" suspension compared to the almost great limusine like confortable suspension. Only a 1980tees Cadillac does it beat. But the back then Cadillacs can't mess in all other things with this awesome Rav4. Since i refreshed this & that on my 2017 Hybrid Rav, i reached even over 50mpg with no no issues with normally driving behavior. In my case it's a really 4wheler Hightech car, who will issues less last for sure over many decades without serious problems. I have a very sensitive feeling for everything and this rav4 have a extreme Toyota typical smooth gear set, what with decent lubrication stuff can't realy wear out once u don't tune around nitro crap ect. I can yust recomend 2 car brands as the real best, for all around Toyota, and for truck's and pickups those Isuzu diesel trucks, off course Toyota pickups are really smooth Isuzu is more truck like rough, but extremely undestroiable😊 The engine is even more solid that Hilux ones and the rest is AISIN DENSO ECT EQUIPMENT 😂😂😂But 10k cheaper than Toyotas king cars.... Btw the rav4 up to 2019 is still better than the new oneok the look is simply matter of opinion, i like from outside both very much, the older looks more younger Hightech sippy like, the newer more solid, robust somehow truck like, both great but the newer have unfortunately more plastic, and unfortunately the very much more for your lungs poisoniusly direct injection. Older is still more healthy.
I'm waiting for a 2024 Rav4 Hybrid and will try to get it to 17 or 18 years. So I need to change the oil more often than the manual says { most people live in the "severe" category for changing oil }. And the first oil change will be at 200 miles, then again at 300 miles and each time I will use a 20 micron oil filter { they have 75% less engine wear over 10 years, than the standard 40 micron oil filters }. After the first 2 oil and oil filter changes, I'll change the oil every 5,000 miles and change the other fluids like a year or two earlier than the manual says { the manual is the BARE MINIMUM maintenance needed to keep your warranty valid but is NOT set up for you to get the longest life out of the car }. I will undercoat it as soon as I get it AND before each winter { I live in the salt belt and I've never had any rust on any of my cars at the 8 year mark, when I sell my cars, then buy new }. I'll change the transmission oil every 45,000-ish miles. and keep the battery filter clean so the battery doesn't overheat and have a shorter lifespan etc. I hope this helps anyone who didn't know this stuff was 100% important to get the longest life from their vehicle.
In 2016 I saw this 2006 Honda Element on display in a Honda dealer's lobby. I asked why they were showing a 10 year old vehicle. Well, a woman had traded it in with 445,000 miles and never needed to fix anything other than typical maintenance issues. And, the body was in pretty good shape too.
Seemingly so! That's A LOT of miles in 10 years. She might have been a salesperson or something. When my friend sold roof gutters and windows he'd drive 200 miles a day. @@MichaelTheophilus906
I bought a 2014 rav 4 xle. Had it about a year. Noticed that after a while oil level will get low. Had it checked for leaks and cylinders scoped for any damage. Nothing out of the ordinary. I believe it’s burning oil. Is this common with the 2.5 engine? If so is it worth fixing?
MAINTAINED Toyota's can last 2ish decades depending on if they're in the salt belt without undercoating each year, no maintenance has been done etc. Always have a car checked out before buying it along with the codes read.
Great stuff to know. Twenty to thirty minutes beforehand can avoid spending thousands of dollars afterwards, but you also need to know what to check out, and how. 👍🏽
My neighbor bought a new Rogue in Jan. 2023. It needed a new motor after 200 miles. She is 82 and the dealer wanted to know what she did to it. Rogues frequency of repair numbers are not great. She bought the Rogue because no Venzas or Rav4s were available. I would not have accepted it back after a new motor at 200 miles.
There is no zero maintenance vehicle but you can research used cars by model and year etc and a lot of Toyotas are pretty good still make sure you get a good year. Obviously tires, belts, oil, air filteres, heck even sliding doors if it’s s minivan always tons of maintance but sure you’re less likely it’s seems to blow a gasket on certain vehicles etc
Owning your own tools is "major in my book" (not a problem). UNAPPRECIATION" of your efforts and hard work is a bad habit in the workplace, this is why you have to familiarize yourself with State Laws that prohibit such foul conduct in the workplace especially" should this conduct become abusive/it's already harassing !🤨
I bought a 2009 RaV4 Sport Limited Edition, with Sunroof back in 2011 and it still runs well. Do the regular maintenance. I only changed the battery once and the tire as well. So far 95K and still runs great. Looking to upgrade for something bigger csuss of the family. You can never go wrong with Toyota. Si es Toyota tiene que ser Bueno😂
The only disadvantage of being older Toyota's like this one is that is has Toyota's outdated infotainment system that doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. If you want that, then you would have to replace the Toyota unit with an aftermarket unit that has Android Auto.
Purchase a pre-owned vehicle and enjoy cost savings. Upgrade your outdated system with Telsa style integrated screen guilt free! Cheaper auto insurance as well
I have to agree with you on those ugly looking tablet style infotainment screens. They look like an afterthought or that they were trying to copy Tesla. 🤢🤢
I am about to buy an used car in couple months, I wish I can take Scotty with me, so this way, no ppl can take advantage and sell me a crappy overprice car.
I bought same model but after that found little vibrations on 2 to 3rd gear. Any one knowa the issue or leave it like that or any thing i can do to fix? Its already done 240000 Km's
2 hours and 1,800 likes. Amazing! From the minute I Started to watch it, the count meter went up about 200 more as It ran, LOL, This guys has it figured out. Isn't this rig the highest theft vehicle?
Not too many legit decent ppl in this world anymore, i think most ppl that have watched scotty a few times knows hes prolly the most honest mechanic in the world, just seems like a 100% nice guy all around. I would definitely take his car advice over anybody elses out there.

That's gonna last you to 2040 no doubt if you want it still by then!

I can’t believe I’ve been following you for 20 years!!! I was just thinking when I was a teenager posting on your question board everyday learning how to fix my cars!
Might mention that driving on the beach in Texas is legal and commonplace. If you are buying a used car in Houston you need check for rust.
A new study showed that electric vehicles actually have 80% increase in maintenance costs! Hybrids made by Toyota are so debugged so well their even lower than gas. I paid $1,500 extra for AWD on my 2023 Prius. Love it. Glad I didn't go with the Tesla.
what study?
@@shooterracing research it yourself
What I am reading online is ev’s are cheaper in maintenance.I would like to know as in market for a vehicle. Pls share your source.
Just bought a 15’ RAV4 xle in June. Thing is a monster here in the snow.
Love the vids!
Cheers from Newfoundland Scotty!!
I had a Subaru for over 10 years , and never had a problem with the car .

I bought a izuso rodeo 15 years ago and still going strong never any issues with nothing ❤
The best solution for an all wheel drive, is a manual transmission, to control the vehicle better.
In Ontario we “oil undercoat” our Toyotas so they can drive in the salt, snow, and not rust! But you have to oil undercoat every year!
That's why I live in tropics

I work 30 miles from my house, no bus service. Walking is not practical unless you live in a city!
Good points. i think that compared to most other car models- maintenance for a Toyota is like "zero". i think that's Scotty's meaning
I just buy a used bicycle for $300
You’re explaining to a wise mechanic that cars require maintenance….. lol

They are common elec gauge density meters.
I thought it was a good way to check for it. If it’s a common tool, seemed easy to do, we should do it as well. Maybe some do, but I’ve never seen it before.
Absolute....in comparison to all other carmakers for example my one i reved this up to 5000 RPM (but only when its absolutely decent warmed up & when this amazing smoothly engine is with fully syntethic oil equipped, equipped ore full filed only) and the engine is qiet and smoothly as can be, absolutely no oil consumption, absolutely sippy sporty fast, if possible very great suspending even better than my wifes new 2021 rav4 wit its very solid firm almost stiff suspension, i don't like its still better robust feeling than the older Hyundai Kia up to 2018 but still a to rough "bony" suspension compared to the almost great limusine like confortable suspension. Only a 1980tees Cadillac does it beat. But the back then Cadillacs can't mess in all other things with this awesome Rav4. Since i refreshed this & that on my 2017 Hybrid Rav, i reached even over 50mpg with no no issues with normally driving behavior. In my case it's a really 4wheler Hightech car, who will issues less last for sure over many decades without serious problems.
I have a very sensitive feeling for everything and this rav4 have a extreme Toyota typical smooth gear set, what with decent lubrication stuff can't realy wear out once u don't tune around nitro crap ect. I can yust recomend 2 car brands as the real best, for all around Toyota, and for truck's and pickups those Isuzu diesel trucks, off course Toyota pickups are really smooth Isuzu is more truck like rough, but extremely undestroiable😊 The engine is even more solid that Hilux ones and the rest is AISIN DENSO ECT EQUIPMENT 😂😂😂But 10k cheaper than Toyotas king cars....
Btw the rav4 up to 2019 is still better than the new oneok the look is simply matter of opinion, i like from outside both very much, the older looks more younger Hightech sippy like, the newer more solid, robust somehow truck like, both great but the newer have unfortunately more plastic, and unfortunately the very much more for your lungs poisoniusly direct injection. Older is still more healthy.
Scotty, how about you have a video on Honda's CR-V or old Honda Civics DX 2002.
We just bought a one owner 2015 RAV Limited. Plan on keeping it forever.
How many miles? How is it so far?
Im buying one soon tooo!
I need to buy a car and I need Scotty to come with me lmao
I’d rather buy a regular gas car than an electric car. If an electric car catches fire, you’re done.
well...any car would be done lol
Super white hot heat 🔥 too. Electric doors no real switches, you'd burn to a crisp trying to get out.
No more likely to go on fire than an internal COMBUSTION engine, clue in the name.
Have it oil spray under and body panels
Not only the fire risk but if the government decides its time to run rolling black outs or worse it's game over for travel unless you have a horse.
I'm waiting for a 2024 Rav4 Hybrid and will try to get it to 17 or 18 years. So I need to change the oil more often than the manual says { most people live in the "severe" category for changing oil }. And the first oil change will be at 200 miles, then again at 300 miles and each time I will use a 20 micron oil filter { they have 75% less engine wear over 10 years, than the standard 40 micron oil filters }. After the first 2 oil and oil filter changes, I'll change the oil every 5,000 miles and change the other fluids like a year or two earlier than the manual says { the manual is the BARE MINIMUM maintenance needed to keep your warranty valid but is NOT set up for you to get the longest life out of the car }. I will undercoat it as soon as I get it AND before each winter { I live in the salt belt and I've never had any rust on any of my cars at the 8 year mark, when I sell my cars, then buy new }. I'll change the transmission oil every 45,000-ish miles. and keep the battery filter clean so the battery doesn't overheat and have a shorter lifespan etc. I hope this helps anyone who didn't know this stuff was 100% important to get the longest life from their vehicle.
How much is an average oil undercoat cost ?
$150-ish, depending on the size of the vehicle and where you live.@@wellnesscanceradvocate8564
Hey Scotty looking at 2022 Honda accord hybrid touring. I’ve heard that a hybrid battery can be a headache, how big is this headache and your opinion?
2012 4WD V6 RAV4 w/420+ thousand miles still running like new 👍
did you change the spark plugs?
In 2016 I saw this 2006 Honda Element on display in a Honda dealer's lobby. I asked why they were showing a 10 year old vehicle. Well, a woman had traded it in with 445,000 miles and never needed to fix anything other than typical maintenance issues. And, the body was in pretty good shape too.
Seemingly so! That's A LOT of miles in 10 years. She might have been a salesperson or something. When my friend sold roof gutters and windows he'd drive 200 miles a day. @@MichaelTheophilus906
I own a 2015 rav4 and it's the greatest reliable car I've ever owned. Only issue I have is the tire pressure sensor might be bad but that's IT
wait i thought i was the only one with this issue! i just bought a used one and the tire light was on but there was no problem with it
Toyota seats are not comfortable 😩 what does Scotty think of Subaru????
Subaru's are very good and reliable car.
That is why I bought a Honda CR-V. The seats are more comfortable than the Rav-4. I like the RAV-4, but I really like the CR-V better.
Used cars that are saveable are not easy to find. The govt is paying wreckers to dump them so even parts are hard to get.
I bought a 2014 rav 4 xle. Had it about a year. Noticed that after a while oil level will get low. Had it checked for leaks and cylinders scoped for any damage. Nothing out of the ordinary. I believe it’s burning oil. Is this common with the 2.5 engine? If so is it worth fixing?
2010 V6 RAV4 AWD, 261k miles..no complaints here 2013 RAV4, AWD, 140 SOMETHING thousand miles, no complaints
Thank you
Look on the bright side, you can roast marshmallows 😅
Is this car from Texas?
MAINTAINED Toyota's can last 2ish decades depending on if they're in the salt belt without undercoating each year, no maintenance has been done etc. Always have a car checked out before buying it along with the codes read.
How can I truly be sure of the Type of Damage, and How Much Damage, Was Really Done To The Vehicle Before I Decide To Purchase?
scotty plz tell me y u move ur hands in such way? please tell me
That beautiful description rivals Shakespeare, Scotty! 🤣 Weeks well spent mate. ;-)
Evs are not a good idea. There’s a reason why that market segment is panicking so badly and dead teslas just sit.
Mr. Scott Thankyou. When are you gonna get a free car for you to evaluate. They need consider cele😂brity car review. Keep up the good work ❤
Great stuff to know. Twenty to thirty minutes beforehand can avoid spending thousands of dollars afterwards, but you also need to know what to check out, and how. 👍🏽
Nice car, but ours only got 24 MPG. Not good enough for us, so sold it and kept our 2016 Prius v wagon!
Scotty I have a 2001 to grand marquis Adjust paddle do work and my abs lights on plus traction control is on
One year later and my 2010 bumblebee is stil running, better than ever now brother. 😉🙃😁😎
Camaro?
I still drive my 2002 Saturn sc1 ..541kms...NO rust ..!🤣🤣
Hi Scott. You will not like that, but my Naissan Xtrail (Rogue) is by far better than this RAV4. You are the best 😊
My neighbor bought a new Rogue in Jan. 2023. It needed a new motor after 200 miles. She is 82 and the dealer wanted to know what she did to it. Rogues frequency of repair numbers are not great. She bought the Rogue because no Venzas or Rav4s were available. I would not have accepted it back after a new motor at 200 miles.
@@lindap.p.1337 200 miles!!! What a bad luck !!! It's a factory default obviously. And it dosent mean that the Rogue is bad car.
😂😂😂
There is no zero maintenance vehicle but you can research used cars by model and year etc and a lot of Toyotas are pretty good still make sure you get a good year. Obviously tires, belts, oil, air filteres, heck even sliding doors if it’s s minivan always tons of maintance but sure you’re less likely it’s seems to blow a gasket on certain vehicles etc
Go to any toyota dealer its full of broken down toyotas being worked on u gotta wait a month for service
Yes, go to any hospital it's full of sick and injured people too, what's your point?
Owning your own tools is "major in my book" (not a problem).
UNAPPRECIATION" of your efforts and hard work is a bad habit in the workplace, this is why you have to familiarize yourself with State Laws that prohibit such foul conduct in the workplace especially" should this conduct become abusive/it's already harassing !🤨
used cars are just as expensive as new car
I bought a 2009 RaV4 Sport Limited Edition, with Sunroof back in 2011 and it still runs well. Do the regular maintenance. I only changed the battery once and the tire as well.
So far 95K and still runs great.
Looking to upgrade for something bigger csuss of the family.
You can never go wrong with Toyota.
Si es Toyota tiene que ser Bueno😂
I heard highlanders are great. Any opinions? I got a rav4 as well
Mr Kilmer, do you do car buying consulting?
Nice...but you didn't even look at the fluids😢
Sure Scotty!
Used car sellers worst nightmare: buyer shows up with Scotty in tow. 😂
The only disadvantage of being older Toyota's like this one is that is has Toyota's outdated infotainment system that doesn't have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. If you want that, then you would have to replace the Toyota unit with an aftermarket unit that has Android Auto.
Very informative, thanks for that.
Thanks for the info. I have a 2007 CR-V so I'm not concerned with infortainment. I just plug in my phone into the mini plug.
Purchase a pre-owned vehicle and enjoy cost savings. Upgrade your outdated system with Telsa style integrated screen guilt free!
Cheaper auto insurance as well
I have to agree with you on those ugly looking tablet style infotainment screens. They look like an afterthought or that they were trying to copy Tesla. 🤢🤢
...but those in the video sit at an angle that causes a reflection making them often useless.
Maintenance free 89 to 95 Chevrolet C-10 1500 best truck ever made
Sweet RAV 4. The Lexus there looks nice too.
I am about to buy an used car in couple months, I wish I can take Scotty with me, so this way, no ppl can take advantage and sell me a crappy overprice car.
No maintenance cars dont exist. At least not for long. Even a Toyota/Lexus needs an oil change.
I bought same model but after that found little vibrations on 2 to 3rd gear.
Any one knowa the issue or leave it like that or any thing i can do to fix?
Its already done 240000 Km's
Scotty...you can't beam me up ,but don't bring me down matey ........id pay double for a good used car over a new crap car 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Now big lots are stoppping EV FROM PARKING INSIDE. LOL. LOL
Lexus GX is ultra reliable
A friend bought a rav 4 with 30000 mi on it burns more oil than gas junk motor.
Cooked more than done or maybe over done ,with electric vehicle. 🤔
2 hours and 1,800 likes. Amazing!
From the minute I Started to watch it, the count meter went up about 200 more as It ran, LOL, This guys has it figured out.
Isn't this rig the highest theft vehicle?
Not too many legit decent ppl in this world anymore, i think most ppl that have watched scotty a few times knows hes prolly the most honest mechanic in the world, just seems like a 100% nice guy all around. I would definitely take his car advice over anybody elses out there.
Im from corpus christi, the only salt we would get is from driving on the beach.
TY for Sharing
Good Afternoon Scotty!!
Rust protect the car
Does Scotty work for Toyota? In his eyes they can do no wrong.
Toyota is that good
What is the Lexus exact type in the background?
