There was a car mechanic near me that had an excellent reputation. Was known as honest and capable. Always had business backed up. He retired and shut his doors but couldn't stay closed. Too many people asking him to reopen so he finally did. Good guy, good mechanic.
I had a mechanic like that, I was piss when he closed, he never opened back up, he was very old so it was getting close to that time so I had to respect that
I knew a mechanic who was so kind and generous that he barely charged for work - he taught me how to fix the car up and was a generally an awesome person. He was like that to other people too, and I just heard that an older person who he also helped, left him ALL his property. Karma.
Not karma because forgiveness overrides karma when a rotten person is forgiven, it's as if though no offense was ever made in the first place. God repays our good deeds and evil deeds. But when those we hurt, forgive us, God holds back the punishment that should have come to us. There still is a consequence though. But Love and forgiveness make karma powerless. Karma doesn't forgive and demands justice. Love and forgiveness can't exist if karma actually existed. Which it doesn't. That thing that you deceived people call karma, is simply God's vengeance and his justice and his mercy. When we are paid back for our sins, or for our good deeds, that's simply reaping what you sow. It's not karma.😃 God holds back punishment when mercy is applied.
I agreed until my daughter totaled my 98 Mazda pickup. Thankfully, she’s ok. Replaced it with a new Colorado, because used car prices are crazy right now.
"Not a fan of electronic parking brakes - but, what can you do? They're all going that way!" I'll keep my old car 'till they pry the steering wheel 'from my cold dead hand!"
I'm an old fart , probably be driving 30 year old cars till they pass laws against it . Working on getting a 38 year old one going for winter and 71 year old car for the summer . Let's see em GPS tracking these .🤠
I'm with you. I have a 45 year old car and a 57 your old car. I can plate and insure them both for a fraction of the price that I can plate and insure my 2004 GMC Yukon. If I run a historical plate they cost $30 and they're good for 10 years. If I put a plate on them that I have certified from the year of the car's manufacturer it costs $30 and is good for as long as I own the car. There isn't anything I can't fix on the cars. I have an extra engine so I can swap it into either car and rebuild the engines as I please for performance or as needed. I'll never drive anything new. It's just foolish. Spend that kind of money. My fast car has only ever been outrun once, that was by a ZO6 Corvette. I have the engine out of it right now, next time I see that guy on the road he will see my tail lights. All that money he spent will have been for nothing. And I have the satisfaction knowing that I built that car myself took something that originally had a 0 to 60 time of 12.5 seconds and made it have a 0 to 60 time of 3 seconds. All for a fraction of the price.
@@acquasanta6676 They'll figure out how to require it if they don't think your cell phone is giving them enough information. Could always wrap it in foil though.
My first car in high school was a used 2006 Toyota Corolla with 36,000 miles. My parents bought it for around $16,000 at a Toyota dealership. This was the year 2009. Never gave me a problem. I had over 250,000 miles in that car but unfortunately it was totaled in an accident 7 years ago. Toyota’s are really good cars. Just keep it clean, do proper maintenance and it will last.
Your parents bought you a $16,000 car? Did they put you through college too? I was Lucky to get a 10 year old buy here pay here for $2000 that constantly broke down and then got blamed for being the cause of it. And I had to pay for it. I learned how to fix cars as a necessity. I'm a working class slob. No wonder I hate this world.
well I did read something about them wanting to do away with the internal combustion engine all together soon as if they have a snowball's chance in hell of pulling that off.
It's crazy, three years ago you could have gone over to your local Toyota dealer and picked up a brand new RAV4 for what he paid, but at least he did right and buy probably one of the most reliable cars out there. Crazy times. Going to get worse. Noticed more difficult to get parts and they have gotten more expensive, don't get me started on the price of gasoline. Going to get much much worse, if you are still not aware all of this is by design.
@@robbflynn4325 oh dear. You're one of "them". You'd fit in well with the 6 or 7 idiots "occupying" the Octagon here in Dunedin, New Zealand. Yes, 6 or 7 - not hunded or thousand - just 6 or 7. Just goes to show how much of a minority you conspiracy theorists are.
I’m glad I bought my car when I did. It’s a Hyundai which I realize wasn’t the best choice. But, my thinking was I had a 1996 Subaru Outback that needed a new gas tank, fuel neck filler, etc. it had 330,000 miles and I bought it for $1800. I traded that in, and financed my 2020 Hyundai Accent. My thoughts are, it has a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I maintain it well, and plan to drive it into the ground. It’s a cheap car that gets me to and from work. I’m grateful I bought it before everything got so much more expensive. I get good gas mileage and I’m willing to pay the monthly payment so that I know it’ll start every morning. It’s not fancy, but it does the job.
You're lucky. Some dealership was trying to sell me a wore out 2016 Hyundai Sonata that a had fleet past (but when I asked them, they denied it) that already had over 100,000+ on it. A base model, with a red exterior, and white interior (I'm not a big fine on white/ cream interior). It had no new gadgets on the inside, and they were trying to tell me it was "a steal price" 😂😂 and literally wouldn't budge. It had already been 2 hours negotiating with them and the best the manager could do was take $500 off 😂 . I was really considering buying it until all they could "find" was a 3 year warranty for $5,000, the mileage within the warranty was a complete joke as well. I tried telling them to look again, and they told me "this is the absolute best warranty for this car." Yeah right. I took my money else where that actually wanted to do business with me. Never let a car sales person or their manager rip you over.
I paid just under 26K for a 2019 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab (22,000 miles). I live on the the Remote Tropical Island of Guam and we always pay more for everything. Considering everything, I think I got a pretty decent deal. New vehicles have a 3 month waiting list - we only have One(1) Toyota Dealership on Guam. I'm 67 yrs old and figure this is my very last "new" vehicle. Still have my 2003 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab and it runs okay, just in case.
Better be careful! That extra weight from your 2nd truck could cause trouble. "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Georgia Democrat Congressman Hank Johnson said.
@@captinbeyond Good to know. I feel like I did okay. Drove it around the island yesterday, put about 80 miles on it - I really love the truck. Feels like a brand new vehicle -vs- a used one.
Greetings from Europe ! I wish that more people in Europe would listen to you... People here keeps buying diesel german cars, because they are tricked by cheap parts prices, but the repair itself costs a fortune ! They are true money pits, you were never wrong about it ! Btw, Love your videos !
Not just the diesels, all German cars should be kept away from. Money pits... You have to ask how they can afford to give you a 'free' cup of fresh ground coffee, just for going in to book a service! Never again.
Whether you buy a car now or not, always pay cash for your vehicles. It feels incredible not having a monthly bill just so you can drive down the road.
I would normally agree but with inflation raging your dollars are worth more now than they will be 5 years down the road. So if you finance it at a rate lower than inflation you may come out ahead by paying with inflated dollars that have less purchasing power years later
I used to think it was good to purchase car cash also as for that I used to purchase everything cash and have to debt ..I didn't realize how important debt is until I tried to purchase a home and had no payment history..I have two vehicles that I own but can't get a loan
So after listening about this smart purchase, I don't know how the president has the power to make anything illegal next year. Are you scamming me Scotty?
Here in Canada, my mom purchased a 2017 Toyota Rav 4 last summer. Right now, that thing has appreciated about $5k. It has a little over 70000 km on it.
"They're Fords, that have to be worked on all the time." I know you love the Toyota company, but I have a 2010 Lincoln MKZ with about 150,000 miles. It still runs strong and the engine and transmission have never had to be worked on. It even gets close to 30 MPG on the highway after 13 years. Now that I say this, the car will probably fall apart like the Bluesmobile in the Blues Brothers. But for a $10,000 purchase in 2016, I'm pretty happy. My wife's 2012 Lexus RX350 has not fared quite as well.
My dad has a Ford pickup. Forget what exactly and the year. F-250 maybe. Anyways, still runs good. He only takes it for drive about once a month, and only a short ways. Battery has to be charged skmetimes, only problem.
I bought a four door hatchback Ford Focus in 2005 and it was my faithful car which rarely needed anything more than oil changes. I sold it in 2018 with 160.000 miles on it. Great car!!!
If your MKZ has a 3.5 liter V6 engine, and it has not already been done, get ready to spend $2,000 to replace your water pump, which is located behind the timing chain, requiring extensive labor.
I mean my honda civic has 360000 miles but the thing is it's not even special for honda. Though it is manual so it doesn't represent the automatic cars.
Granted I worked at the dealership and sold the truck to myself, but I bought my 2020 ranger XLT for $34,147 with my employee pricing. However, my truck STICKERED for $38,905. 40k for that Tacoma is unbelievable.
Wow I got my 2021 ranger a year ago for $31k. Xlt sport. Either way, I love the truck. Best midsize truck on the market. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine
@@roscoeschickenandwaffles6317 because it’s a great truck. You think they’re selling new trucks for $15k anymore? That’s what it costs. Jump up to a full size truck and you’re not paying under $45k. If you’re like me and all you need is a midsize then it’s a great buy
I bought a 2018 Avalon in 2020 for $20,000. It had 28,000 miles at the time. It now has 44,000 miles on it. Oil changes and tire rotations are all I have done to it. Absolutely dependable. Could possibly still make money on it but I really like it. Scotty has saved me money. He knows his business.
Thank you, Scotty. Hey. I just bought a 2003 Ford E-350 bus with a high top and extended rear for $300.00 And all I had to do was replace the transmission. And the Transmission only cost me $ 59.00 from a junked van that was brand new. It must have turned over because it had some roof damage and that was all. And it runs great. The most expensive thing on the van that I had to replace was the torque converter. It was almost $300.00.
I watched the whole video but I didn't see anything about the thumbnail about buying making a certain car illegal next year nothing was said about that I don't get it good video though
@@tonymanero5544 no, it's crony capitalism! In a true free market capitalist system, you don't have the government passing regulations to prop up specific Industries and companies at the will of the banksters!
I went to carmax once. I asked is that the best price you can give me?? They said Our prices are final we don't negotiate. I walk right out.. This was 6 years ago
That's their business model, but they do reevaluate prices on slow movers. If you ask they may tell you the next time that will happen. I know a guy who bought off CarMax and 3 years later sold it back to CarMax for much more than one private buyer and 2 other dealers were willing to give.
I have a 2010 RAV4 and I just love it. I've driven the newer ones, and I have to say that they have improved the noise issue. The new ones are a little quieter. Still wouldn't give mine up for a new one though.
For years I went to a local repair shop and they were always fair in their estimates and what they charged. Then when one of their service reps retired or was pushed out their rates became astronomical. I needed a hatchback latch switch replaced which I had already purchased myself. I told them I didn't have the tools necessary to remove the trim without damaging it and they charged me $130 to install it. I had been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and I know it didn't take longer than 10 or 15 minutes to install the part. It is the last time I will ever take my vehicle there again.
In fairness if you go to the mechanic for anything other than oil change and it's less than $ 500 then they let you off easy or it was a slow day. They make the money on the parts and labor. So they probably charged you more because you brought the part
Finding good mechanics seems to be getting harder and harder now. My mechanic that I trusted closed down and sold his business in the middle of the pandemic so I’ve been looking for a good mechanic. I’ve taken it back to the ford shop which is not the same as the dealership and they’ve done a good job so far but I would rather find a good mechanic just in case.
Body mechanics are becoming a thing of the past, they will not fix your car without going through a big insurance payment. Cars are being totalled over fender benders.
Took your advice and bought a used Honda instead of spending an arm and a leg financing a new vehicle Scotty. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. Going on a year now and I’ve learned a lot about my car, I love my little C-RV. Besides a power window motor replacement, a valve lash adjustment, and a new clutch master cylinder a week or so ago, she’s going strong! 💪 And now I know how to do all of these things for the future.
The fact that it turns off the parking brake automatically I think is fantastic. I rented a Mazda which required you to put the parking brake on anytime you park, then you had to maually disengage it every time you want to go somewhere. Pain in the butt. Homerun for Toyota on this one!
Nah, my 2020 Ford Escape and 2022 Pathfinder both do this too. It's not a Toyota specific thing. I bet you it's probably on all cars with electronically controlled transmissions i.e. cars that have gimmicky shifter knobs/dials.
I have a manual Mazda 3, the electric park brake auto releases if it’s set to on when moving off. If you are setting the gear shift to P, to park and leave the car, why wouldnt you not also set the parking brake? The transmission can only hold so much for so long.
Hey Scotty I’m from Nova Scotia Canada and I watched one of your videos yesterday and my car it was in the antitheft mode and I fixed it I watch your video thank you
I like the way Ford does is electronic parking brake, when you put it in gear it'll still keep the parking brake on, but the second you touch the accelerator it releases
Be sure to get one parts are easily available. Some discontinued parts can end a car. My 80's Dodges were the best US made cars I've ever had. Don't know if you can get an ECM for them today.
I’ve always been a mopar and Jeep guy . Took your advice in 2016 bought wife a Toyota camery only maintenance I did battery and just did brakes at 107.000 miles and they still had another 15.000 on them
My 1987 Ford Thunderbird had an automatic releasing parking break, and it was a manual parking break pedal. (Also had automatically dimming high beams, climate control, fuel economy readout, 6 way power seats, keyless entry, etc.)
Hey Scotty, You're AWESOME & you always say, when it comes to getting something fixed, "bring it to a guy like me".....WTH ???!!!,....there ain't NO mechanics like YOU !!!.....lol.....You NEED to start an on-line school - charge fair prices as we all know you would,.....you would make so much money you could start-up an automobile manufacturing company - cars/pick-ups affordable by the working class & they would last, just make with the necessities & simple looks like old-style military vehicles w/one color.......you wouldn't be able to make them fast enough w/ a 5000 employee force/plant.....that would be Awesome......you would probly be voted in as President of America before you know it !!!!
They make memory maintainers you can plug into the ODB port to keep you from having to reset everything after swapping the battery. If you have a jump box with a 12v adapter plugging it into one of the power ports will serve the same purpose.
I just bought a 2022 Mazda CX-5 for $34,900. MSRP was $31k plus the dealership added about $4k in taxes, licensing fees, lifetime power train warranty, etc. I figure since I paid MSRP, I should be pretty happy 😂
@@dang75790 normally, I would agree with you. However, where I live, anything of quality under $20k has on average 150k miles or higher. I didn’t want to pay so much for so little. And if I raised my budget to $25k, the quality cars were still 5years old and had 50k miles. So I decided to pay a little more and buy a car new. Plus I’m going to keep it for +200k miles. So it made sense for my situation
Enjoy your new car . Everything I read about the CX-5 is good . Don't even think about another car in the next 10-15 years . I drove my old Mazda MPV for 200,000 miles . Enjoy !
So a 2019 Rav4 has an electronic Parking Brake and Cruise Control controls on the steering wheel. But my 2020 4Runner Limited still has the old tried and tested foot pedal parking brake and the old school cruise control stock controls that haven't changed their design since the early 2000's. The 4Runner really is old school.
the steel wheels on some MGBs and early to mid-70s Ford ( Mercury Capris.....the german ones imported to the US were quite attractive. The latest Corolla hybrid uses alloy wheels covered with ABS wheel covers for fuel economy.
My first car was a 1976 Ford Elite. It had a mechanical parking brake that would automatically pop off when you put it in gear. I've owned 9 other cars since and It is still the only car I've owned that had that feature.
I work as an alloy wheel repair technician. I fix many bent aluminum wheels, front bends we can't fix as they crack everytime but bends in the back of the wheel fix pretty easy. Worst bend I fixed was over an inch out of round, no cracks.
I looked at a new Prius and the gear selector looked like a video game controller. The mpg though is remarkable if you don't mind sitting in a sardine can.
I bought a Camaro. Love it. I'm 51. Raised my kids, did my 👌 👍 in life. I supercharged it. The new lead mechanic had "Convict" written all over him I asked my Vetted mechanic to please 🙏 😔 don't let that guy work in my car. 4 months later, he ruined my supercharger install. And did all kinds of crap to the owner. I paid $1 for a background check He had 11 felonies and 22 misdemeanors. Currently he is a Fugitive from Justice!!!!! He stole a lot of money 💰 🤑 from the owner. Well, the owner was complicit with my problems.....so I got my car out if there. Then I called all the cops he was running 🏃♀️ from and called Snap On to get them their tools back.
NOTHING disappointed Scotty sinking to gaslighting headlines. Free speech is fine . Bigotry just isn't appreciated. People who are at NO risk of harm from society complain they can't abuse others anytime they want
At this point, Toyotas aren’t even worth it anymore. Even the beaters on Craigslist are like $5,000 for a 200,000 pos smh. As far as I’m concerned, best bargain brand rn is Ford.
4/7/22...I worked Sats + holidays + Summer vacation for my Daddy's glass/mirror business starting @ 14. Every day we would get a car 🚗 in there with a LEAKING SUNROOF....Then they started calling them "moonroofs" prob to get away from horrible reputation. GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, THEY ALL USED TO LEAK....even a tiny speck/hole in the rubber gasket or stopping & starting a new line of silicone or even age drying out the rubber....NOT to mention ppl not closing them tight. They improved over the years...but just like windshields & backlites, there is ALWAYS possibility of a leak.
I WALK into a Toyota DEALERSHIP and the waiting room was full of customer waiting for their Toyotas being repair. I was there to buy a part for my friend Toyota so scotty they all have their problems. I would leave the dealers sit with their new cars until the price come back down and believe they will drop like a rock
I love alloy wheels but you just made one hell of a great Argument of why the steel wheel is better. I am in Atlanta and the roads are not bad but some are . Thank You for convincing me to go steel wheel next time.
Was looking to trade my car in for a Honda Insight they had only one at the dealership they quote me a good price on my trade in but wanted $5000.00 over the manufacturer list price on the Insight ...there's no way not to get riped off.
My doctor was telling me he wanted to buy his son a 2000 Ford Explorer for 9K!!! He showed me some photos and I told him he was getting robbed. Car market is insane today
Just had one of these as a rental for a month while my other car was being repaired. I wasn't impressed. It was sluggish, overloaded with electronic garbage and didn't get very good.fuel mileage in relative terms. It also had a 10! Gallon fuel tank, the range was terrible. Ill keep the 30 grand.
I'm a seasoned USED car buyer...heres my formula: Shop from Craigslist pay cash from a PRIVATE seller, never EVER a dealer. Stick to well treated models at least 10 years old or have 100k miles. Price will be less if both are true. Watch YT videos on how to maintain & repair whichever car you buy. Avoid unserviceable models like BMWs of any recent vintage. Pre 2005 Mercedes are good as are virtually all Japan makes & many domestic as well. I drive 2 classic Benzes paid less than $5k each & drive them everywhere...using this method. You ONLY feel trapped into their overpriced options because the SALES INDUSTRY has conditioned you into a set of assumptions that cease being true the moment you question them.
I actually like the idea of electronic parking brake. In upper Mi, the mechanical e-brake cables always rust and they never work. Time hasn’t proven them yet but I think they will fare better to the elements than mechanical e-brake linkages
Scotty i am glad you are back doing these videos. Many of us rely on your excellent advice on how to do it yourself. or with your vehicles reviews like this Toyota. Welcome back.
I'm a Toyota loyalist but HATE radar cruise control! I finally figured out if you hold the cruise button down while turning it on, it'll go to normal cruise control as a over ride.... all better now.
2:39 so thats why people keep crashing into cars behind them… Should be able to select wether it turns off or stays on when put in reverse Because people will stick there cars in park as opposed to neutral fairly often and so it kicks the parking break off I hate all cars without a manual parking break or at least a backup manual lever for it
You've lost me. Why would the parking brake be engaged before selecting park? Also, it only disengages the brake when you are already in park, and pull the selector backwards towards you then in to reverse. Do you think that the brake disengages if you are in neutral, and you push the gear selector up past reverse, to park? Noooooo. It *only* disengages from the park position.
@@CadillacDriver car sat on a hill and you wont move for 2 minutes You stick car in park and engage the parking break and take your foot off the break Then to move you should put it in park and accelerate and when accelerating it should disable the parking break or when pushing in the break it should disable the parking break What i see in the video is you put it in drive and the car rolls backwards immediately in the event you forget to press on the break before selecting drive
@@commanderoof4578 no you're looking at it all wrong. Your foot *has* to be on the brake to move the gear selector out of park... The system is almost foolproof, and the only way it'd go pear-shaped is human error - just like a manual brake lever.
@@CadillacDriver out of every one i know that has rolled backwards on a hill in the past 6 years all of them where driving manuals So naturally im going to say modern ones night do that but the rest dont and hence let you roll backwards into other people or just roll backwards till you notice because no one is behind you
Newer Mustangs with manual transmissions will keep the brakes on until you engage the clutch to keep you from rolling back. You can turn this off. Older Subaru’s also had a feature called a “Hill Holder” that did the same thing.
The craziest car deal I ever did was trade a '67 BSA chopper for a '63 Pontiac SUPER DUTY. Aluminum bumpers, Factory 4 speed. Was very fast. At the time I didn't know what I had. Today, worth thousands......
Good idea, I bought a lease-return 2018 BMW I3 last year for $16,250. It costs one-fourth as much to drive as the Ford Ranger it replaced and the service requirement is practically zero. Terrific performance, so I dubbed it "the silent rocket". The most completely satisfactory vehicle I've ever driven, even better than my Porsche 928S. Hard to understand why some people cling to an old technology that's inferior in all respects.

Scotty My 72 Lincoln hsd auto parking brake release. It also had some gadget we didn't have a clue about. I ended up calling SVO out in Dearborne. They told me the car had antiLock brakes.

There was a car mechanic near me that had an excellent reputation. Was known as honest and capable. Always had business backed up. He retired and shut his doors but couldn't stay closed. Too many people asking him to reopen so he finally did. Good guy, good mechanic.
Ok
I had a mechanic like that, I was piss when he closed, he never opened back up, he was very old so it was getting close to that time so I had to respect that
What is ur point?
Wow what a good guy
@@averagejoe17769 was that worth commenting?

Not karma because forgiveness overrides karma when a rotten person is forgiven, it's as if though no offense was ever made in the first place.
God repays our good deeds and evil deeds. But when those we hurt, forgive us, God holds back the punishment that should have come to us. There still is a consequence though.
But Love and forgiveness make karma powerless. Karma doesn't forgive and demands justice. Love and forgiveness can't exist if karma actually existed. Which it doesn't. That thing that you deceived people call karma, is simply God's vengeance and his justice and his mercy.
When we are paid back for our sins, or for our good deeds, that's simply reaping what you sow.
It's not karma.😃
God holds back punishment when mercy is applied.

I'm with you. I have a 45 year old car and a 57 your old car. I can plate and insure them both for a fraction of the price that I can plate and insure my 2004 GMC Yukon. If I run a historical plate they cost $30 and they're good for 10 years. If I put a plate on them that I have certified from the year of the car's manufacturer it costs $30 and is good for as long as I own the car. There isn't anything I can't fix on the cars. I have an extra engine so I can swap it into either car and rebuild the engines as I please for performance or as needed. I'll never drive anything new. It's just foolish. Spend that kind of money. My fast car has only ever been outrun once, that was by a ZO6 Corvette. I have the engine out of it right now, next time I see that guy on the road he will see my tail lights. All that money he spent will have been for nothing. And I have the satisfaction knowing that I built that car myself took something that originally had a 0 to 60 time of 12.5 seconds and made it have a 0 to 60 time of 3 seconds. All for a fraction of the price.

My first car in high school was a used 2006 Toyota Corolla with 36,000 miles. My parents bought it for around $16,000 at a Toyota dealership. This was the year 2009. Never gave me a problem. I had over 250,000 miles in that car but unfortunately it was totaled in an accident 7 years ago. Toyota’s are really good cars. Just keep it clean, do proper maintenance and it will last.
They maybe reliable but my problem is getting my knees under the steering wheel lol at 7 foot tall.

I’m glad I bought my car when I did. It’s a Hyundai which I realize wasn’t the best choice. But, my thinking was I had a 1996 Subaru Outback that needed a new gas tank, fuel neck filler, etc. it had 330,000 miles and I bought it for $1800. I traded that in, and financed my 2020 Hyundai Accent. My thoughts are, it has a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I maintain it well, and plan to drive it into the ground. It’s a cheap car that gets me to and from work. I’m grateful I bought it before everything got so much more expensive. I get good gas mileage and I’m willing to pay the monthly payment so that I know it’ll start every morning. It’s not fancy, but it does the job.
My 14' sante Fe hit 220k so. There's a lot of hope. Lol
I actually love this Lil truck, against my will.
You're lucky. Some dealership was trying to sell me a wore out 2016 Hyundai Sonata that a had fleet past (but when I asked them, they denied it) that already had over 100,000+ on it. A base model, with a red exterior, and white interior (I'm not a big fine on white/ cream interior). It had no new gadgets on the inside, and they were trying to tell me it was "a steal price" 😂😂 and literally wouldn't budge. It had already been 2 hours negotiating with them and the best the manager could do was take $500 off 😂 . I was really considering buying it until all they could "find" was a 3 year warranty for $5,000, the mileage within the warranty was a complete joke as well. I tried telling them to look again, and they told me "this is the absolute best warranty for this car." Yeah right. I took my money else where that actually wanted to do business with me. Never let a car sales person or their manager rip you over.
They were trying to sell it to me for $17,000. After negotiation for 2 hours, the manager could only take $400 off. Not even $500.
I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent myself, 132,000 miles and change. NO breakdowns. None, nothing. It's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.
I paid just under 26K for a 2019 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab (22,000 miles). I live on the the Remote Tropical Island of Guam and we always pay more for everything. Considering everything, I think I got a pretty decent deal. New vehicles have a 3 month waiting list - we only have One(1) Toyota Dealership on Guam. I'm 67 yrs old and figure this is my very last "new" vehicle. Still have my 2003 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab and it runs okay, just in case.
That's a good deal

Whether you buy a car now or not, always pay cash for your vehicles. It feels incredible not having a monthly bill just so you can drive down the road.
I would normally agree but with inflation raging your dollars are worth more now than they will be 5 years down the road. So if you finance it at a rate lower than inflation you may come out ahead by paying with inflated dollars that have less purchasing power years later
Zero percent financing makes it easy.

I hear you Scotty, loud and clear.
"They're Fords, that have to be worked on all the time." I know you love the Toyota company, but I have a 2010 Lincoln MKZ with about 150,000 miles. It still runs strong and the engine and transmission have never had to be worked on. It even gets close to 30 MPG on the highway after 13 years. Now that I say this, the car will probably fall apart like the Bluesmobile in the Blues Brothers. But for a $10,000 purchase in 2016, I'm pretty happy. My wife's 2012 Lexus RX350 has not fared quite as well.
My dad has a Ford pickup. Forget what exactly and the year. F-250 maybe. Anyways, still runs good. He only takes it for drive about once a month, and only a short ways. Battery has to be charged skmetimes, only problem.
I bought a four door hatchback Ford Focus in 2005 and it was my faithful car which rarely needed anything more than oil changes. I sold it in 2018 with 160.000 miles on it. Great car!!!
If your MKZ has a 3.5 liter V6 engine, and it has not already been done, get ready to spend $2,000 to replace your water pump, which is located behind the timing chain, requiring extensive labor.
I mean my honda civic has 360000 miles but the thing is it's not even special for honda. Though it is manual so it doesn't represent the automatic cars.

Thank you, Scotty. Hey. I just bought a 2003 Ford E-350 bus with a high top and extended rear for $300.00 And all I had to do was replace the transmission. And the Transmission only cost me $ 59.00 from a junked van that was brand new. It must have turned over because it had some roof damage and that was all. And it runs great.

I had a mechanic who worked on my 2017 Chevrolet Cruze lt., very affordable - only thing is that he never kept his word on fixing my car in time
For years I went to a local repair shop and they were always fair in their estimates and what they charged. Then when one of their service reps retired or was pushed out their rates became astronomical. I needed a hatchback latch switch replaced which I had already purchased myself. I told them I didn't have the tools necessary to remove the trim without damaging it and they charged me $130 to install it. I had been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and I know it didn't take longer than 10 or 15 minutes to install the part. It is the last time I will ever take my vehicle there again.
for 15 mins work that is a high charge. £35.00 would of been fair.
So you're saying their labor per hour is $135?
In fairness if you go to the mechanic for anything other than oil change and it's less than $ 500 then they let you off easy or it was a slow day. They make the money on the parts and labor. So they probably charged you more because you brought the part

Besides a power window motor replacement, a valve lash adjustment, and a new clutch master cylinder a week or so ago, she’s going strong! 💪 And now I know how to do all of these things for the future.
The fact that it turns off the parking brake automatically I think is fantastic. I rented a Mazda which required you to put the parking brake on anytime you park, then you had to maually disengage it every time you want to go somewhere. Pain in the butt. Homerun for Toyota on this one!
You sound like a city boy.
What...I have to do it manually.😂😂
Nah, my 2020 Ford Escape and 2022 Pathfinder both do this too. It's not a Toyota specific thing. I bet you it's probably on all cars with electronically controlled transmissions i.e. cars that have gimmicky shifter knobs/dials.
What kind of Mazda? I have a 2020 CX-5, and it doesn't require you to use the parking brake. Mazda3 at work is the same.
I have a manual Mazda 3, the electric park brake auto releases if it’s set to on when moving off. If you are setting the gear shift to P, to park and leave the car, why wouldnt you not also set the parking brake? The transmission can only hold so much for so long.

*ALL* car companies do that; Audi's been doing that for over a decade 🙄

Every day we would get a car 🚗 in there with a LEAKING SUNROOF....Then they started calling them "moonroofs" prob to get away from horrible reputation.
GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, THEY ALL USED TO LEAK....even a tiny speck/hole in the rubber gasket or stopping & starting a new line of silicone or even age drying out the rubber....NOT to mention ppl not closing them tight.
They improved over the years...but just like windshields & backlites, there is ALWAYS possibility of a leak.
I have a 21 Corolla while my Focus is in the body shop and I absolutely love it, and it's only an LE 1.8L
Great vid. Toys are the best..own 3 and never an issue...well first was 80 ish so I need frame and floors but it was a beast...
You put statements in your headers, to get peoples attention to watch and never quite explain them. Very agravating.
I WALK into a Toyota DEALERSHIP and the waiting room was full of customer waiting for their Toyotas being repair. I was there to buy a part for my friend Toyota so scotty they all have their problems. I would leave the dealers sit with their new cars until the price come back down and believe they will drop like a rock
well, to be fair, im sure any dealership has customers waiting for repairs for any brand, they usually do their service and parts service there
I love alloy wheels but you just made one hell of a great Argument of why the steel wheel is better. I am in Atlanta and the roads are not bad but some are . Thank You for convincing me to go steel wheel next time.
8:42 it basically sits there and judges you like an angry mother-in-law
I just replaced our car that was t-boned with a 2021 RAV4 XLE with 800 mile for the same price. 28,900. Killer deal.
Did I miss the illegal part?
I think I did, too
Scott is someone we put trust in so a "come on" headline is disappointing... just saying...
@@pamartin some of the headlines make me watch the entire video and then I scratch my head and watch it again. So I guess they serve a purpose
We all did
Retired! Bought a ebike.
I'll never sell my 06 suburban 5.3. 203k. Best vehicle ever.
Was looking to trade my car in for a Honda Insight they had only one at the dealership they quote me a good price on my trade in but wanted $5000.00 over the manufacturer list price on the Insight ...there's no way not to get riped off.
That's why you got a good price on your trade. When that $5000 comes down, so will your trade in value.
My doctor was telling me he wanted to buy his son a 2000 Ford Explorer for 9K!!! He showed me some photos and I told him he was getting robbed. Car market is insane today
Just had one of these as a rental for a month while my other car was being repaired. I wasn't impressed. It was sluggish, overloaded with electronic garbage and didn't get very good.fuel mileage in relative terms. It also had a 10! Gallon fuel tank, the range was terrible. Ill keep the 30 grand.
Lol we had a 97 Rav and it felt like driving a go kart! Would be a great first car
I'm a seasoned USED car buyer...heres my formula:
Shop from Craigslist pay cash from a PRIVATE seller, never EVER a dealer.
Stick to well treated models at least 10 years old or have 100k miles.
Price will be less if both are true.
Watch YT videos on how to maintain & repair whichever car you buy.
Avoid unserviceable models like BMWs of any recent vintage.
Pre 2005 Mercedes are good as are virtually all Japan makes & many domestic as well.
I drive 2 classic Benzes paid less than $5k each & drive them everywhere...using this method.
You ONLY feel trapped into their overpriced options because the SALES INDUSTRY has conditioned you into a set of assumptions that cease being true the moment you question them.
I actually like the idea of electronic parking brake. In upper Mi, the mechanical e-brake cables always rust and they never work. Time hasn’t proven them yet but I think they will fare better to the elements than mechanical e-brake linkages
Yeah! little electric motors on the brakes, pelted by rain, slush & salt every winter, then heat-cycled every summer. What could go wrong? 🙂
In reality how many people actually use a parking brake everytime, they exit the vehicle. I see very few people using it unless on a decline.
Scotty i am glad you are back doing these videos.
Many of us rely on your excellent advice on how to do it yourself.
or with your vehicles reviews like this Toyota.
Welcome back.
Since 2017, Toyota has offered adaptive cruise control as part of Toyota Safety Sense
I'm a Toyota loyalist but HATE radar cruise control! I finally figured out if you hold the cruise button down while turning it on, it'll go to normal cruise control as a over ride.... all better now.
I love the new design of the Rav4
I hate the modern keyless crap and electronic parking brakes. But I have to admit the parking brakes have frozen up twice on my F150.
OK Scotty So, what’s going to be illegal next year?
Nothing, Scotty's just trying to get views.
Just found a 94 Corolla sitting in a field for 7 years owner gave it to me and got it running like a champ for under 700 bucks. Can’t beat that
2:39 so thats why people keep crashing into cars behind them…
Should be able to select wether it turns off or stays on when put in reverse
Because people will stick there cars in park as opposed to neutral fairly often and so it kicks the parking break off
I hate all cars without a manual parking break or at least a backup manual lever for it
You've lost me. Why would the parking brake be engaged before selecting park? Also, it only disengages the brake when you are already in park, and pull the selector backwards towards you then in to reverse.
Do you think that the brake disengages if you are in neutral, and you push the gear selector up past reverse, to park? Noooooo. It *only* disengages from the park position.
@@CadillacDriver car sat on a hill and you wont move for 2 minutes
You stick car in park and engage the parking break and take your foot off the break
Then to move you should put it in park and accelerate and when accelerating it should disable the parking break or when pushing in the break it should disable the parking break
What i see in the video is you put it in drive and the car rolls backwards immediately in the event you forget to press on the break before selecting drive
@@commanderoof4578 no you're looking at it all wrong. Your foot *has* to be on the brake to move the gear selector out of park...
The system is almost foolproof, and the only way it'd go pear-shaped is human error - just like a manual brake lever.
@@CadillacDriver out of every one i know that has rolled backwards on a hill in the past 6 years all of them where driving manuals
So naturally im going to say modern ones night do that but the rest dont and hence let you roll backwards into other people or just roll backwards till you notice because no one is behind you
Newer Mustangs with manual transmissions will keep the brakes on until you engage the clutch to keep you from rolling back. You can turn this off. Older Subaru’s also had a feature called a “Hill Holder” that did the same thing.
The craziest car deal I ever did was trade a '67 BSA chopper for a '63 Pontiac SUPER DUTY. Aluminum bumpers, Factory 4 speed. Was very fast. At the time I didn't know what I had. Today, worth thousands......
if people just stopped buying cars we would see better deals
Newer trade ins get higher prices due to this inflation.
Good idea, I bought a lease-return 2018 BMW I3 last year for $16,250. It costs one-fourth as much to drive as the Ford Ranger it replaced and the service requirement is practically zero. Terrific performance, so I dubbed it "the silent rocket". The most completely satisfactory vehicle I've ever driven, even better than my Porsche 928S. Hard to understand why some people cling to an old technology that's inferior in all respects.
That Rav 4 might only have to last a week to be the last car he ever buys, the way things are going....
Hopefully trump comes back in 2024 to fix the country, if there’s a country left to fix
@@lesterparker1594 Trump helped get us to this point, just like the democrats..American exceptionalism will probably kill us all at some point..We have so many existential threats closing in on us, it's really just, which one will get us first...
@@lesterparker1594 joe brandon and his marxists handlers want to destroy the country...this is all playbook ... FJB
@@nickmalone3143 the great reset. They can’t build it back better unless they tear it all down. “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy”. It’s not speculation. They’re literally telling you this and millions of people are too dumb to care
@@lesterparker1594 A lot of demonrats need to be jailed, and the complacent repukicans need the House and Senate. Gotta remember, do nothing repukicans is why this stolen election is in place, demonrat governors allowing illegals in is a crime, they should be getting indicted. Most of our government is corrupt. Trump would have the same problems he had the first time with the same corrupt politicians behind him.
Scotty
My 72 Lincoln hsd auto parking brake release. It also had some gadget we didn't have a clue about. I ended up calling SVO out in Dearborne. They told me the car had antiLock brakes. I live up on a mountain & it would stop on the way down in the snow and ice if needed . They worked great. The Detroit locker got it back up the mountain....
Mike
Scotty, I love your videos, very informative. Suggestion, Try decaf!!! Keep up the good work!
*Got my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant with 114k miles for $800. Ive had it 2 years and all ive changed is the water pump, battery, and starter. Thing is a tank!*
