BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS BIG JAPAN CAR LOVER HERE I RECENTLY BOUGHT A JETTA 2015 JETTA 2.0 THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE CAR HAD A HARD TIME IN THE MORNING STRATING TOLD THE DEALER THEY SAID BRING IT IN GAVE THEM THE CAR FOR A FULL DAY THE SAID THEY COULDNT DUPLICTAE IT GAVE IT BACK TO ME KEEPS HAPPENING SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AND MAKES THE NOICE OF THE CRANK AND TAKES A WHILE FOR IT THE START FEW SEC LONGER THEN USUAL ALSO IT HAPPENES SOMETIMES NOT ALL THE TIME THEY CHECKED BATTERY SAID IT WAS FINE NO CODES NO HIDDEN CODES THEY CANT TELL WHAT IT IS CANADA BOIII HERE KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDS MAN
NAME IS BASH
@@user-kd2zd9in5x You done the wrong thing buying a VW they are crap & cost heaps on parts to fix them & they do not like aftermarket parts ,if you use them they set codes straight away Do what Scotty says get rid of it ASAP.
if that's got the Triton engine 5.4 v8 run, you will pay 6k to replace the engine that was a crap engine that sludge build up is a major issue
@@user-kd2zd9in5xwhy yelling lmao
The Scion was marketed to the young generation and the old generation ended up buying it, instead.
Older generation? Yup, I bought one 😂
Same thing happened with the Honda Element.
@@davidnivison9915 👍Square is in. A box is the most efficient way to carry things around.
@@Michael-yi4mcI loved my little toaster.
But the time you put any options on them it was cheaper to just buy that Camry and just accept having a 4 door car. 😂
My daughter has a 2009 Kia Rio. When we bought it, I did some research, and found that this era of Kia and Hyundai is a sweet spot for these 4 cylinder cars. The engine was improved, and they did a lot to improve the automatic transmission. It now has 155,000 miles and it runs smooth, doesn't burn oil, and the transmission still shifts great. I think that the car was well cared for, which makes all of the difference, but it was at a reasonable price, and available during the pandemic so we bought it.
Thy are good, till the engines give up. Try to get them replaced. NO PARTS AVAILABLE
Yep, my 2009 Hyundai Elantra is the best value vehicle I've ever purchased in the past 44 years.
How it’s cared for over its life is critical. Frequent oil changes is one key. People tend to overlook the importance of fresh oil.
2012 sonata. Sold the car at 240,000 miles. Original everything. Full synthetic oil and tranny fluid exchanges
2009 was good but 2010 were better! They switched from the timing belts to chains
The belts broke every 60k miles or sooner and blew engines!
The 2011 switched to horrible GDI engines and they blew mulitiple times before 100k miles and Hyundai only gives 1 engine per car 100k mile warranty
My 2010 sonata GLS
Gave me 280k miles trouble free with just reg maintamce!
And women I sold it to 2 years ago now is still driving it and just had to replace the radiator she’s at 344k miles a few months ago!
I wish Scotty lived near me. Hes a rare kind of mechanic.
He has the potential to be the first billionaire mechanic off youtube😹
1. Ford expedition
2. @6:30 kia forte
3. @ 13:30 scion tc
Thank you
Thanks for the list!
I bought the scion xB the boxy looking one. Standard shift. With 100,000 miles on it 6 years ago. Now I have 310,000 miles on it and all I have done is oil changes, and tires. Original clutch, brakes radiator alternator. Hasn't missed a beat.
awesome, I'm looking to get an xb at the moment but the only ones in my state seem like the 2nd gen. and I hear the 2nd gen burn oil like hell
Good for you! What year? How much then?
Who's car is that clean inside after 15 years?? Wow, look at that headliner, immaculate!
Mine😊, 2013 expedition xlt 4x4 , gets washed inside and outside 2x a week minimum
Scotty, 100 more years to your life. May you live longer than EV cars!
Lol he will he takes good ol conventional oil HAHA
😂 Scotty will 😅
An EV's lifespan isn't that long. Lol.
They'll live up to Nov 5th
He already has. There are already dead EV cars out there
Great info Scotty thanks
I bought a 2005 Ford Freestyle for 1800 bucks 2 yrs ago. It had 182,000 miles when I bought it. Now it has 234,000. Doesn't use any oil, change it every 5000, doesn't leak anything. Has tons of pick up and runs great. I'd like you to look at it someday Scotty. She's got a few small dings. But runs like a charm! And all original but the rack n pinion, and air conditioner. They were replaced. Gets 23 to 24 mpg on highway, 17 to 18 in town. Not bad.
I love how people say it is all original "except for" No vehicle is all original they wear parts out even with all the regular maintenance done & tyres wear out. The only vehicle that you can call completely original is one purchased & then put into storage & never driven.
@@LesReeves There's no such thing, parts are only meant to go so long. As long as the engine and trans are oiringal that's what people usually mean
I mean if a car has 150-250k miles or more og engine and tranny id say it's pretty original especially if car is still looking mint. Every other part is expected to break at some point in time. @@LesReeves
Scotty thanks always good information.
NO WONDER WHY YOU HAVE ALMOST 7 MILLON SUBSCRIBERS...... BECAUSE YOU ARE GREAT !!!!!!!!!. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOU ARE CRISTAL CLEAR CLARITY. LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!
Once again, Scotty, another great video. I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer bought in December of 2007 it has the V6 engine 4.0 and has 130k miles on it. I has been a great car this December it will be 17 years old and I love it. I had very few problems radiator was leaking and the thermostat casing that is garbage is plastic
From a personal experience, the Ford Expedition is an excellent family car.
As Scotty put it, it drives like a dream…just close your eyes on the gas consumption thing and you probably have one of the best cars in its category .
You have heard of it?
I love my Kia Forte, 2013 model. Great mileage, plenty of space in the cabin for my wide shoulders. I've had a Corolla and a Civic previously and felt somewhat squished next to the driver's door. But it runs like a champ. And it's paid for!
I bought a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT new off the showroom floor and never, never had a problem with it except fuel pump twice. I drove it 258,000 miles till it just made a loud noice and quit running. I loved it… but couldn’t afford another new but would like to find a nice used low miles one day. I live in Utah and most used are trashed by now.
Nothing better than people saying “never had a problem” and then immediately listing all the problems it has had
I'm not so sure about the Ford vehicles with the 5.4 liter 3-valve V-8 but they could still be good engines if you change the oil religiously. It will not tolerate neglected oil changes
I have a 2014 5.4 3 valve. Time chain went out at 205,000 miles. Fuel pump replaced once. Still have it, engine being rebuilt now. Excited to get back. Driver side actuator replaced. No other problems. Bought it in 2915 with 11,000 miles. I drive almost all freeway.
I got a 2010 forte with 147000 on it still going strong I hated it at first coming from a 2009 EOS which ran good too until a 16 yo girl in an f25 ran a stop sign hence the kia I miss the luxury though
Your Celica was a real head turner in Australia they (with a manual gearbox )went like a scalded cat(sorry to cats) & looked good too even up to the last model.
never heard this slang from an Aussie yet lmao
Interesting 🤔 content Scotty different perspectives
I had a 2007. It was a great car. I always worried about the oil passage thing, but changing the oil early seemed to make the difference.
Scotty, my 2007 Expedition had a tendency to cook batteries. Even optimas. Never figured it out, but that's the one problem I had.
As always , great info 😊
Going from a Toyota Camry and Honda Civic to driving a KIA all because some idiots stole your cars. I would not be happy lol.
I agree with your choices.
Love you Scotty and all the info you bring, but people do need to know Scion TC is one of the most unsafe cars to have a car accident in. Death of the driver is very likely in an accident. My brother had one and has gotten rid of it bc he needed a larger vehicle. Maybe that’s why they stoped making them bc of accidents.
PSA: Those Expeditions with the 3V 5.4 Triton V8s can be good engines if they were maintained well, namely oil changes. That generation, 2007-2014, *only* had the 5.4. Cam-phasers, "2 piece" spark plugs, timing guides, and weak oil pumps are just some of the issues that plague this engine. It's not necessarily the cars fault that the owners are negligent, because most of the major issues of the 5.4 can be remedied through routine 3k to 5k oil changes. However, buying one of these at a corner lot with 3, 4, or more owners in it's history with 150k miles is a straight up gamble. You can put new phasers in but a lot of times mechanics just recommend a new engine.
I had a 2009 f150 with a 5.4 new and I sold it at 100k miles, I ran it hard and it was running like crap at that point. Got a 2016 with a 5.0 and I've been taking better care of it, runs great, I hope it lasts to 200k miles, at 113k currently.
I got a 2013 xlt expedition and it's at 145k miles. Bought with 84k on it. I maintain it like crazy with oil etc. I did the lock out kit for the motor. But ford should of had to replace all the 5.4 motors
It's not negligence it's piss poor design and execution. My neighbor is a wicked mechanic and has a 2008 f-150 with the triton. The amount of work he's put into that engine to keep it running goes well beyond routine maintenance.
Who cares how many people don’t drive a standard, I’m driving mine and that’s all I care about. I can’t stand statistics and polls.
Scotty talking good about a Ford.🤣
I remember he told us to stay far away from GM automobiles lol
And a KIA.
If you ever sell the Celica please set off some fireworks. You have the best DIY Car University in the world. Learn as you go and no room board or tuition. Must listen up to gain knowledge. You are the very best, Thank you!!
The EPA killed affordable sedans and non trucks.
$19G's isn't a lotta money today, but back then it was allot of money !!
Dirt cheap used to be two weeks pay for a beater. Over the past 10 years the population has increased but the Census does not indicate the two million driving without a license. That train wrecked the used car supplies.
Ford Explorer? Never heard of it. Wow. How does Scotty find these cars no one has ever heard of? KIA? Another one I have never heard of.
Most of the vehicles stolen in HI, are Toyota trucks, any model. Highly prized.
Where can you take a stolen car on an island and get away
@@JamesMcMullen-wj8rs on a ship to asia or the mainland US
This should’ve been released under Scotty’s classic channel
That tiny scion does not need 18" tires. It would handle much better, stop shorter and get better fuel economy with 16". Not to mention 16" tires are $150 per set cheaper for the same exact tire
Yea, it also doesn't *need* a TRD supercharger but the people who put them on don't give a toss about fuel economy. Also as far as handling and braking are concerned, 18 inch don't have a negative impact and lighter weight wheels are more important than their rim diameter.
I know. What's with 4x4 trucks that don't haul/tow/off road, and driven solo. Madness.
Only issue with scion like this one is in 06-09 they had the low piston rings that failed and burned so much oil! And it was mainly due to people not changing oil enough and letting them go 10k city miles between oil changes! (Not recommended) highway miles yes but not city
So have to be careful when buying one check the records and dates compaired to miles put on between dates to see if they’re highway or city driving
A mechanic turning into a marketing officer.
And/or a Chinese EV Ambassador.
I have a 2008. Only bad about it is mileage. I love mine.
Scotty with his scan too. It Takes the guess work out of it.
Ny 1995 Nissan Hardbody pickup V6 XE 4x4 gets the same milage.
Poor for today's standards, but figure in the cool factor.
Scotty, what year is the Ford Expedition that you checked out in this video? I'm interested in the best model year Ford Expedition.
They wont be dirt cheap for long, Scotty!
Scott I like Ford trucks & I'm looking around for a used one what are the best years or Toyota used used
My 2009 Expedition Limited, same rims, was $55,000 new, I paid $50,000. Currently 130,000+ miles.
Old Skool cars are the best
Oh God, do I know about emergency replacement vehicle, had a great 2010 Toyota Rav 4 (other than a bad tie rod and transmission (later one, my fault), but got in a wreck and lost it due to rust. Had to find a replacement quick, and unfortunately at the time, local used car dealers had a serious shortage of good used cars. Wound up buying a 2015 Chevy Trax (Uhhhhhh!), miss my Toyota so much, in it's shape, replacement value was still 5000 dollars.
Have two bmw x3 's one w 170k and the other 115k both drive fantastic.
Hello Scotty ,We have been listening to you for years we love ya bud!!! Made a big mistake drove in second gear to long up a hill didnt know it was in second sun in our eyes Music to loud and over rev the engine and engine stopped and wont crank over we tried to a breaker bar on pulley crank bolt wont budge at all on a 2005 Toyota corolla is it worth getting new motor if thats the problem might be trans ?? And alot of things underneath the car are newer shocks bearings brakes tires .... were in Utah ... Appreciate your input!!!Hello, Scotty ,We have been listening to you for years we love ya bud!!!

The Kia with the battery slightly low because of low usage, is a common dilemma for RV’ers. I have my RV on a battery maintainer which has really made my battery last quite a long time.
Scotty recommends a KIA??
What year is the Expedition?
I’m in the market for a 2004 430 Lexus convertible I think it might be a good buy these yea gas mileage is bad but I think it has the best v8
Reminds me of my 96 chevy express 3500.
Own one I've HAD trouble getting some parts.
Have a look at the death rate for these vehicles, that is why they are dirt cheap. Dirt is the key word.
I wish you sold cars I would definitely buy one from you.
Ive seen many if these broke down on the side of the highways. Rarely see a GM SUV broke down
Have you checked out a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0 xlt
your vids are good, pls make them longer💕💕💕
He's put out over 6 thousand videos, he makes 2 every day & a short..... he's 70 yrs old & says he doesn't have time for a vacation because he's too busy with UA-cam.
You want longer videos? 🤷
I would seriously consider an older Expedition provided it wasn't rusted out or had been seriously wrecked. And if it had the 3 valve 5.4 that's a hard pass. I'll just drop a reman engine or transmission in it and drive it for another 200,000 miles. I've seen them with a lot more than that and they were still running well.
Is Scotty recommending a Kia?
Maybe sloppy editing. I'm trying to cut him some slack.
Scotty. I still see PT Cruisers running on the road after 20 years. Might be the a good idea for a video.
This is the best suggestion I've seen in the comments in a while. Scotty absolutely loves PT Cruisers.
Scions were more sporty looking and or unique like the scion XB box looked like Honda element
They sold more scions due to looks!
All i buy is corollas and scions xa or xd
Hey, I got a green 2013xlt 4x4 heavy tow package😂..
Both cars got stolen So he bought a kia that u can steal with a usb cable 😂 not a very bright individual
LOL.
04 Navigator, 175k, no problems 13 mpg, I have a bad back, she's never let me down, and driving it, I feel like Iam sitting in my recliner at home!!So tired of Ford getting the short end of the stick, 4700, hundred bucks 2 years ago, never let it go..😊
Ford doesn't get the short end of the stick. They made good cars 20 years ago, their cars today are dumpster fires, but even toyota today is a dumpster fire.
Scotty the problem is circled on the first truck just look on the front grill 😅😅😅😅
How is Scotty still uploading videos from way back when he lived in Houston? Reload from 8 years ago?
I wound out one of my 69 roadrunners and the rear diff blew out the next day. That's whst you get flr going 80 in first gear. Wanted to change out the rear end anyway. It had a stock 295 rear end and yeah I went 80 in first gear.
Lol how did you go 80 in first gear? Did you have like 2.55 ratio rear and a tiny little first gear in the transmission or something? Cause gear ratios are what determine speed per gear which is why old mechanical speedometers have a pickup off the transmission.
Yeah, 80 in first. You can believe anything you want I know what I did.
are we going back to the future? and Honda said they weren't going to make the Civic any more (in 2021)?
Man that explorer looked awful low when he was looking underneath
Never had good experience with fords, especially 9nes with plastic fuel lines
Where are you located scotty??
Scotty Is it worth buying a 1959 Fury sport hard top immaculate in and out for $16,ooo.oo in 2024 ?
15:14 "it's all metal, it's not plastic junk"
......but it does have a used junkyard engine in it 😂
*an all metal* junkyard engine :p
WHICH V-8 does the Expedition have????
I sure hope they factor in that the transmission only has about 44,000 more miles left on it before it will need to be replaced.
Honda Civic sedans are being discontinued?
That Eddie Bauer Expedition was 60k in 1996. My step father bought one. Cars are such a waste of money
These Alzheimer’s videos on my feed are getting ridiculous
Don't worry you'll forget about them in a few minutes
19:21 - Honda not making the Civic sedan? Wrong, but showing a coupe - which is correct.
If you want to tow with a small car, it must have manual transmission. And the same is for sports cars.
Only sports car I've ever seen towing anything was a Porsche 911.
We have the Excursion. It’s a Little Bigger 😂🤣
Surprised to see Kia on his list of cars to buy. What about the new ones?
What, Scotty endorsing a KIA? Is hell freezing over?
I struggle to find a scion for a good price tbh
Scotty’s ideal car: 63 Fairlane with 289 and manual transmission
What about rust. Here in the rust belt you see newer cars with rust starting. They must be good for another 100k but the rocker panels are going. I'd say at least half the cars are rusting long before their mechanical death.
at first i thought that was scotty chirping second in the TC but than i realized he was in the passenger seat...
01:54 Sean Connery vs WHAT?? 😂
Imagine being a car guy on UA-cam and comparing a Toyota Camry to a Kia Forte?! A Forte should be compared to a Corolla.
Scotty recommending a POS FORD 5.4 , cam phasers make these junk
When Scotty move back to Texas?
Scion tc are good coupes you get a sporty look and good mileage on for it to be classified as “sport”
If t has a 5.4 3V. Run away from it. Trust me.
They still can get a couple hundred thousand miles. The biggest issue with them is their primary maintenance issues are expensive. Like their AC issues will have you taking apart the dash.
Wow, KIA has a good impression for Scotty? That's unbelievable.........
It's possible this is "AI Scotty". An imposter in fact. KIAs and Hyundais are Scotty's favorite "piles of crap."
This video was recorded between 8/2019 and 7/2020
$7000 sounds like too much, maybe $5000
