Scotty, I think you may have missed your calling. You really seem suited to being an orchestra conductor.
However I was a little confused are these three vehicles you should buy or not buy?
Oh my late father, taught me how to give squirrels a "bath" .... 👌😁
35mpg for a 200 horsepower engine and cvt transmssion considering it has variable piston stroke and just 3 cylinders is not that good actually
There are older cars with 200 hp and 35mpg and all wheel drive
What I know about Scotty:
1. His Toyota Celica
2. His mother in Buffalo
3. His cold A/C
4. His wife's Lexus
5. Scotty has wrenched for 50 years
Pay a mechanic like me to check it out
He’s got a friend named Bernie !
It'll make your head spin.
Scotty, my late Father in Law was an excellent "old school" professional mechanic for 50 years after finally retiring in the 1990s. He started his mechanic career as a Studebaker dealership mechanic. In the early years he owned Studebaker Hawks & Studebaker pickup trucks. After Studebaker went out of business he worked for two auto repair shops for over 20 years each. Just like your Grandpa, he loved Buicks and his favorite Buick was the 1966 Skylark with the V6. He never bought a new car from a dealer in his life but instead waited for a late model Buick come into his shop with a blown engine or transmission where the owner decided to buy a new car instead of the high cost of an engine or transmission rebuild and he would make a reasonable offer for the car and then rebuild the engine or transmission himself if possible. Otherwise he would buy a rebuilt engine or transmission and install himself. Of course this saved his Family tens of thousands of dollars over the decades which he invested in Chevron stock! Smart!
Nissan lifetime warranty... Been there with a used chevy I bought from a ford dealer advertising lifetime powertrain warranties on all used cars with under 100k miles. You have to take your vehicle to "qualified" mechanics for all the service, and/or phone into the warranty call center after every service to document mileage, service, product types, etc. P-I-T-A!! I change my own oil, etc. so the lifetime warranty was worthless. I feel it is basically a used car dealer gimmick. There are tons of ways for them to weasel out of funding the warranty.
I can't believe you say 4 wheel drive is useless. I live in Oklahoma with a 2004 dodge with 170 k with no problems, don't use 4 wheel drive very often for snow. When I need it, its priceless.
I almost bought a Nissan Rogue and went with a Rav4 limited instead and I am so glad I did.
Why are you so glad you went with the Rav?
Nissan's are crap. Call me stupid. I know; I am on my 3rd & LAST ONE.
smart
Service history records are great to have, but they do not always tell the whole story. You need base most of your vehicle inspection on how it drives, handles, wear and tear of use, listen for knocks all through the rev range. Look for sign of overheating, excess water jacket pressure, coolant colour, must be pink or blue these days. Check for corrosion underneath, chassis and brake lines. Check for excessive smoke, blue or white smoke from a hot engine is a fail. Check for sloppy gear changes, grinding etc. Check for engine oil, coolant, or power steering, differential, transfer case, gearboxLeaks. The mileage may be low, but the vehicle itself may have had a hard life. Just a few pointers there. Have fun.
I had a 2018 f150 and that thing was just bad. Five times the transmission had to be "reprogrammed" because when I would get out on the road it wouldn’t move. Press the accelerator as much as you want you ain’t moving. I don’t have that problem with my 2021 Tundra.
1. Don't ever trust warranties from any company other than the manufacturer themselves. I don't know about that dealership but 3rd party warranty companies that you buy your used car from will fight you on getting your car fixed.
2. I live in the PNW and it only snows a few times a year but I love having AWD so far despite the extras gas. Just bought a Lexus RC 350. Love having a sport coupe, that is a toyota, and has AWD. Not an easy combo to find.
I live on the coast in SC. It almost never snows. I still love having a 4WD. It is a heavy vehicle at 5500 lbs., but it’s paid for and I will probably have it forever. 06 Lexus LX 470. Not making car payments, but it does slurp down a lot of premium!
@@hedge313 Definitely! I just love having traction all the time!
I can't remember who I purchased extended warranties from in the past for used vehicles but I never had coverage issues when I needed to be funded for mechanical coverage.
I've had clutch, flywheels, radiators, water pumps, hoses, fluids, radiator fans, etc covered.
I' m sure in the fine print there will be a way for the dealer to wiggle out of the power train warranty. He will be charged for something if he has engine or trans problems
Yes you're right, Kia/Hyundai are the worst customer service for their car warranties. I would never buy a new car unless the dealership was customer friendly. No matter the length of the warranty.
Sold thousands of used cars.
When ask which car is best I replied, Toyota Camry if buying new. If buying a year old rental, buy a Chevrolet Impala. Both good cars but a year old Impala is half price. A year old Camey sells for almost a new price.
LOL @ Buick defying Scotty by bolting down the engine "beauty cover" so he couldn't rip it off & throw it onto a lawn, like he does in a 1/2 of his videos! :-D
He reacted by saying he didnt like that. It cracked me up.
A small act of vengeance by GM? 🔫🔥
I've heard that some these "beauty covers" on some vehicles actually do serve a purpose. My vehicle is a '17 and it's the first one I've ever owned that came with one. I leave it on, doesn't seem to help or hurt anything, but I do wonder if it retains too much heat? I have no idea. Vehicles didn't have them forever then all of a sudden automakers started putting them on.
@@mplslawnguy3389 good point now I'm curious myself. U in Minneapolis? Im in the twin cities too, hello neighbor
@@rell4474 Yes, howdy neighbor. Lovely Minneapolis.

Dude comments this on every video smh
I think sometimes it's not that mechanics are trying to rip you off. Some are crooks, but some just have limited experience or weren't trained well. We had a Sentra. Bought new. A couple of years in the car would stall out at stop lights, stop signs, basically whenever we would come to a stop, but not everytime. It was a head scratcher. Then the problem evolved into intermittent loss of acceleration. Again, unpredictable. Took it to Nissan. They had it for a week. Couldn't figure it out. I researched it using Chilton books and came to the conclusion it was a vacuum problem, but couldn't pinpoint it. My wife's Dad insisted he take it to his mechanic. He determined it needed a new transmission.
After I did all the common sense things like checking for vacuuming leaks and changing the fuel filter, the problem didn't get any better, until I started the car and put a screwdriver down the carb to open the throttle plate and the engine roared to life.
The Dad was pissed off with me because I didn't agree with his mechanic's diagnosis. The transmission is controlled by vacuum but so was the carb. Eventually we got the car towed to a mechanic MILES away who had it for a week. It WAS a vacuum problem. Three relays positioned between the inner and outer fender on the passenger side went bad and affected the distribution of vacuum. The relays were replaced. No more problems!! But it was a bad spot for those things to be. They were subject to the elements. Bad engineering.
This shop specialized in foreign cars in the days before computers. Took awhile, but the problem was solved.
Intermittent problems are the worst and you need a good diagnostician with experience to get to the root of the problem. As for the dealership, or auto centers, they work on a volume basis to make money. If your problem can't be quickly solved it's tough luck for the customer. A small time, local guy, or gal, with a good reputation is your best bet for good service. But in the end, it's a crap shoot. No one knows EVERYTHING. That is, except for SCOTTY! 😄👍🙏
On the Enclave, the owner put drilled/slotted rotors. I call them cheese graters. Yes they reduce brake fade but they chew up pads. These rotors are for track days which an Enclave is not built for.
A strange thing to upgrade 😅
My friend sells these Rogues and I can guarantee you most people do not know they are 3 cylinder TURBO!. I would not touch this car if they gave me a 10k discount.
Ford's use a transmission that has adaptive learning. It is ok if there is only one driver, but if there are multiple drivers, the transmission is setting itself for a heavy foot, and grandma gets in...it shifts hard and jerky. If it is grandpa's truck and grandson gets in and gets on it, the shift bands are looser and the trans will have slippage. Everyone who has a new Ford be aware.
Omg...my best friends first car in 73 was a 69 Buick skylark. What a magnificent car. The times we had in it, I'm surprised we aren't still in jail.
They were cool cars. My first car was a 69 Firebird Ram Air III 400 , in 1987.
too many options are not good. I love my old Pontiac GranPrix.. it always knows what gear to be in. 2008 3.8 L. great milage, peppy and dependable. What was wrong with keeping that? The engines don't go bad.. the transmissions just can't keep up with the torque available. Knowing that, I don't push my transmission.. and she shifts like butter. She keeps a constant rpm at any gear. GM really screwed up when they abandoned Pontiac. They lost a lot of talent.
My wife just bought a 21 Mazda CX-5 which came with a lifetime powertrain warranty from the dealership on top of a one-year bumper-to-bumper. I was quite impressed with that. Gives me a some peace of mind. A normally hate buying cars and don't trust anyone but that dealership really impressed me all around. Not to mention the $5k in service they did prior to the purchase (brand new tires, alignment, f & r brakes/rotors, new battery, filters, oil and fluids, computer update and they even had a couple very tiny dents removed from the hood). I was shocked!
Scotty out here scaring the family dog 😂😂
😄😄
I rented a Buick Enclave in 2014 while touring the US, drove many miles, beautiful car - LOVED it - No problems!
People who arent American ironically love Buicks more
It was a rental!! You didn't have it long
Lol a week or two, good longevity
@@richsweeney1115 Had it a month, put about 10k on it, yeah, it was new when I got it so .. ok, yes.
@@RemusKingOfRome I just figured it wasn't old enough to have issues, andi didn't think you had it long
It kinda crappy the last years Buick made cars they’re quality sunk.
My grandparents each leased a 2020 Buick lacrosse. My grandfathers lacross had so many recalls it spent more time in the shop then the road.
My grandma lacrosse didn’t have any issues until a year later at 6k miles the transmission went out without warning no slips or warning.
They got out of the leases and bought with cash a $47k dollar Buick Lucerne CXL car was a nice red with Crome trim.
Fully loaded heated and cooled steering wheel/seats
Ect…it was the last car they owned outright til they died 8 and 10 months later…both passed few months from each other.
When my aunts uncle and dad brought it back to Buick to see if they’d buy it back. They were only offered 14k dollars.
Of course they said no and thought it was a rip off..
For a car with only 5k miles on it. But after doing research the value was only 18k a huge drop from 47k cash purchase a year and 4 months prior.
They don’t hold their value
Buying new is always a waste of money....
GM is not one I'd lust after. We had nothing but problems from the 2000 and 2002. The trucks and the 90's cars were ok except for the trans after 200k.
The 99+ trucks seemed ok except for the abs module
95 Bonneville was fine. 2002 Bonneville was dumpster fire. So was the Alero. Ac failed in every car. If the AC doesn't work in the south the car is totaled. You'll be stuck to the seat. And stink ....
Buicks aren’t made like they used to. We got a 2005 Lesabre. 200k miles and it still runs. Any Buick or GM in general made after 2008 is when the quality started to go downhill . It’s unfortunate
Looks amazing and I'd keep it if someone gave one to me, however, my 02 Celica GT will probably be getting me down the road long after that will.
Love your free education. Thank you Mr Kilmer.
🤚 I’ve been watching Scotty Kilmer’s UA-cam videos for a Long time thanks a lot Scotty great job keep it up 👍
The newer F150 5.0's have port and direct injection. I believe that started with the '18 model year. I can also vouch for the reliability of the 6 speed. I have a '12, 5.0, with 239k.
New cars are made by the tenth cheapest contractor. They all fall apart from the tranny, engine, doors and suspension. Car and trucks are not made better today. They're much worse and doesn't that make you feel better ?!?
I admire Nissan ...nobody was using CVT only Nissan now Honda, Toyota and other manufacturers are making cars with CVT, and I remember back when car started to make automatic trans every body was not recommended automatic and now what ... They have a new model that used 3 cylinders engine to charge the batteries in a electric car is not hybrid or plug in, they said will do 90 mpg
Subaru made the first CVT.
Back in 1980 I worked at John Deere in their engine test cells and we had a 3 cylinder diesel that seemed to work well on the test stands. I'm not sure about actual real world running.
Aunt and Uncle just had timing chains done at the dealership 2015 Chevy traverse 102,000 miles $6000.00 and they used synthetic oil and changed it at 3000 miles.
Absolutely junk
the nissaan rogue's interior looks just like the Mitsubishi outlander's lol
Drive them with the overdrive off especially if you're towing that's what I learned about on my 1st Gen Tundra
I’ll stick with my 4T-60E 4 speed automatic on the 94 Ciera, with the 3.1 liter V6. Frequent oil and filter and transmission fluid and filter changes have it all still running great at 29 years and 2 months of age. Easy to work on, parts readily available. People gave up on these classic beauties because of a faulty wiring harness that cost $25 from GM Mexico ( $40 shipping ).
You r legendary 😅
Scotty, one thing I learned recently about Ford trucks was the engineered "Adaptive Learning Transmission": TCM in Fords. It's been around for a while, and has caused much frustration with Ford truck owners; especially not the original owners (because the TCM learns from the original owner).
I have a 2008, so I do not have one of these debacles.
Some who own the newer trucks should search for this and understand how this may impact them.
2007 Buick Lucerne 3.8 liter. 88k miles hell of a car. It’s my hoopty car I drive to keep my new Subaru Forester and GMC Sierra like new. Looks like hell but runs and drives great and gets as good gas mileage as my Subaru
🤚
Well it is definitely nicer than my Lucerne but I only paid $2200 for it.
2:40 Thats hilarious, he just seasoned it for them😂
I tow cars for insurance companies. Those electric parking brakes are so stupid. I still haven’t figured out a bypass for them other than throwing Dollie’s on the rear wheels. Such a pain!
Hold the button down for a while. We disabled ours. Easy on Toyota.
@@marshmower That doesn't help you if there is no power to the brake, such as after an accident or a dead battery.
They're one of the many stupid features automakers have decided that we "need", but no one asked for.
ALL that electronic crap in sophisticated cars are gonna freeze up or freeze-,out and there's nothing you can do about -it 😆 our Scotty is a freaking - history teacher!!!
Just leased (18 months) the exact same Rogue, colors and all for my wife. I too had the same issues with the 3 cylinder. Car rides Like a dream but I'm not sold on the reliability, hence the lease. Dealer didn't offer lifetime power train warranty. Might have swayed me to buy it. I'll see if they sweeten the pot when lease is up. I want to love this car, but that new tech is always in the back of my mind.
Scotty, what works here in western Washington against rats that like to chew up lines, belts, etc., is the stinky kind of Bounce dryer sheets -- the ones in the orange box. A couple of sheets under the hood are enough.
Wouldn't they catch fire possibly from the heat? Where to put them? I live in the same area.
@@calinator51 There are places to put them where they won't catch fire that are under the hood but away from moving parts. If you can't figure that out on your own, ask a mechanic.
Those lifetime "free" powertrain warranties offered by dealerships are a scam. They will do everything possible to deny your warranty claim because they would have to pay for the repairs and it could cost them thousands of dollars. It's just a marketing gimmick to sell vehicles.
I only seen 1 dealer do a lifetime transmission replacement but in fine print many parts I.E clutch or solenoids or pressure plate weren’t included but that list was long..on the doesnt include.
And also said after the first repair or replacement u had 90 day warranty so no more lifetime warranty
Wow, gotta read the fine print
My buddies brother recently had trouble with a Ram Italian Diesel, complete garbage/junk. He got rid of it for an F-350 Diesel to pull his boat, no problems after a year and a half. Go Ford #1
Scottys reaction when he took the Nissan out in traffic ,and didn't expect the power was great
😻
The back window cut is a new pinnacle!!!
👏👏👏
My neighbor has a Nissan Murano and the transmission went out at 120,000 miles.
I'm currently driving a 1999 Buick Regal. I bought it with 52K from an estate sale 5 yrs ago. At the end of '22 I passed 100K. I'll drive her till she dies. Only work I've had to do is cv joints, sway bar ties & new regulators for 2 front windows. I drive her daily doing Door Dash & Grubhub. Good old american built
The Buick used to be called the Doctor's Car..I tried to get my late parents a 1949 Buick in the late 90's it looked like something owned by Big Al...I had plans for that living room on wheels..they liked it but didn't bite.
Saying people shouldnt buy these and i cant see your point. Youre selling the car with everything you say. I want to know why i shouldnt buy it.
The electric parking brake is a safety feature that will automatically lock the brakes when a door is open to prevent the vehicle from moving !
And easy to disable. No way that tiny motor will last
If your vehicle shorts out and you lose power, no way to apply, or disengage the parking brake. It's a stupid idea.
Damn stupid technology.
@@petercollingwood522 there's nothing in a name. It's all copy cat. Well except for the actual quality. I look at the engine. If it looks like rough casting and has messy hoses and wires everywhere, I say pass. Look how neat and roomy some engine bays are. Look for smooth or consistent case finish. The difference between Japanese Toyotas and "ones made elsewhere".
Cayenne pepper also works well in the garden for keeping ants out, maybe even uncles, but for sure, ants!
Scotty!I agree with you on BMW cost of maintenance.I have a 2015 BMW X1 but I have to tell you that it is the best car I have ever driven.I have 143000 miles on it and I have to be honest that the car runs great and the Transmission is still smooth as silk..
Scotty I respect you but sometimes you talk clueless.f150 10 speed is very good transmission and people have 200k or 300k on this transmission.
I make sure to keep it in tip top shape all the time…It runs like a newer BMW due of course to the consistent maintenance.The worst things I have had to do to it is change the radiator,brakes,rotors and Alternator.
Yes Scotty! I love my Toyota Tundra crewmax limited 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 🙌
We love and appreciate you Scotty. You are a National Treasure and friend to the "little guy."
Is being six feet tall a "little guy"? If it is, I'm a Scotty "little guy", too. Lol!
Friend of a friend has the Nissan Rogue, fancy car, beautiful driver,
BUT
It’s been in the dealership repair shop 8 times, for many different issues, thankfully she bought the bumper to bumper extended warranty
But not,
As it did not cover the auto tailgate
That was $2200 to repair
I tested a 10 speed f150 in 2017. I didn't make it 1 mile and noticed some weird shifting. I drove it back and told the salesman something was up with the transmission. I could tell from his reaction. It wasn't the first time he heard that. I wound up getting a 6 speed 5.0 lariat. 40k miles later. It's still running and driving like a champ. It will spin the rear tires on the black top at 25mph pulling my 18' trailer. I average 17mpg on flat land.
I'm selling my 2011 Toyota Camry with 206,000 miles. I just replaced rear brakes and radiator. Asking $7000.
OMG! “Scottie’s pigs had a taste for cayenne pepper!” That was hilarious!
Wonder if Scotty ever had to edit out a video where he was filming inside an arm rest or trunk where some customer had something illegal. lol 😂
That spare tire had a subwoofer in it too. Bose puts those in the Mazdas as well
That 1.5 3 cylinder blows my mind. I got a 07 civic hybrid with a 1.3 naturally aspirated motor. Considering that nissan apparently produces 205 HP that turbo has to be half the size of the engine itself HAHA. All seriousness though I agree with your analysis, its probably gunna break sooner rather than later!
@@t.wx0 you realize he said an 07 civic lmfao that thing has been kicking for a long time
No body know it yet !! So will see it in 3 yrs, then others would copy it !!
Scotty, you need a cameraman! Your hand movements like the "π" number! A never ending thing! :D
I don't get why car companies don't make a simple dependable car. More additional equipment means more problems, and cost. It's like buying a seaside million dollar home, when you stay there 4 weeks per year. A vehicle needs to get point to point. Wouldn't you want a simple dependable car, than a car that keeps happening all the time.
Home mechanic can't work on most new cars, because it requires special equipment and knowledge of the vehicle.
6 speeds is all you need. Those 10 speed trans are junk. And you don't need 10 speeds period. These car companies are experimenting with your money! Just get past the warranty and then it's your huge problem. F that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.... That Buick owner's insurance COVERED THE SQUIRREL DAMAGE????
I want the name of that insurance company!!! Take my money!!!!
It's comprehensive coverage...like when a Dear runs into your car.😁
It's just like if someone vandalized your car.
Scotty is always on point. I would never buy a piece of garbage from Ford ever. They deserve to go out of business. Who sells the vehicle and then tells you to live with a glitch in the transmission because they don't even know how to fix it themselves? What a joke and embarrassment of an American car company. I'll stick with my 99 Z28 my '02 Trans Am. Tried and true American muscle. You don't buy a pickup truck for performance. Maybe if Ford focused on smooth transmission shifts instead of performance in a pickup truck the transmission might work a little better. But then again Ford's never got anything right. All their vehicles have always been garbage and they always will be. They don't know what they're doing over there and Scotty just proved it. Basically he said live with the glitch because no one can figure out what's wrong with it. So you just got to deal with it for 75 thousand dollars.
The shifter on the enclave looks like a BMW shifter
The Buick Enclave is a rebadged Chevy Traverse. The Traverse has the same camera in the rear view mirror.
Wonder if he ever accidentally smacks his wife in his sleep dreaming about making videos….. Your the man Scotty.
Ford 10 speed transmission even after a reprogram still shifts hard, skips, and hunts. This also has a sealed system. So no owner dipstick, not unless you warm transmission to 200 degrees, climb under truck with it running, get an 18mm wrench, and take the plug off and read some 4 inch stick. Oh it is next to the 500 plus degree catalytic converter. If you have a lift it maybe 20% easier. I think it wants it checked every 10k just to get you to the dealer.
So many great used cars in mint condition owned by grandpa on the market to be throwing your money on new crap designed and intended to break
Used cars are going to suck in the future.
Scotty, that’s not even a premium car, let alone a luxury car.
Looks like the person owning the Ford was in the U.S. Army infantry.
Remind me when the end of the world arrives to make sure the last video I watch is a Scotty Kilmer video! 😂 🙏
Been watching your videos to help me as I look for a car. I like Nissans so your opinion matters. In this vid I'm confused. You seem to like the Nissan Rogue but confused about the technology. That's fine but you still liked the car but labeled this vid "3 cars to avoid" so I'm confused 🤔 lol
I don't agree with electric vehicles at all. Not green technology the power comes from coal and natural gas mostly. Batteries don't last and are fire hazards, and what do you do with them when they die. Electric cars for local city drivers ok works, but for semi trucks and long distances, we need to push forward real green technology like hydrogen fuel cell technology, which will be better, and vehicles will last longer. This is real Green technology that won't kill the electric grid.
Hey guys question so how high should you generally accelerate RPMs from 0-60. I try to accelerate keeping the RPMs under 3000 at least to preserve the transmission. He accelerated straight to 6000 in that Buick. Is that something you should only do occasionally or shouldn’t hurt the transmission long term?
He did it to test the car. You don’t accelerate at 6000 every time you leave a light unless you want to pay big bucks early. The longevity will depend not only on the type(manual, automatic, CVT, Dual clutch), but how well it’s build. Generally you should only step on the gas when merging with highways, thats consistent with the typical wear and mileage that most vehicles. Never step on the accelerator hard with a manual when in high gear/very low rpm.
The combination of low build quality, increased complexity, choice-limiting CAFE regulations, and poor customer service requires buyers to be very, very careful. And demanding. I scratched Ford, GM, and Chrysler off my list years ago.
The flat spot on the steering wheel is for all the fat bellies to fit!
That shifter sure looks like the ones in BMW's
no "Rev-up your engines" intro??
Same with a Mustang 10 speed. Damn thing can't make up it's mind which gear it wants.
One car I would never touch or think about buying is a Nissan. Horrible transmissions. And now with an overly complex engine like this? Absolutely not.
I know people that have Buicks, and they love them. To each, there own Scotty on this one.
People who have family working for the dealer. I'm so done with GM. We go for made in Japan on the sticker.
@@marshmower so doI, but. My wife has a 14 escape titanium that runs like new. Ive never had a bad ford.. mine, my familys, freiends..they were all really reliable. Ford's and Hondas are my faves
I hope it had all the maintenance records .... You will never know how bad the last driver took care of it for all those miles?
All those miles on what?
That's not an SUV, it's a minivan with bigger tires
Scotty with the new videos always make my day better
I work for a car rental company, don't buy a Ford right now. They have the most recalls out of any other manufacturer in the fleet. I'm a big Ford guy and it hurts to say it but it's true. Any Toyota is a good buy right now. Only tires and oil changes
It's best summed up with the only vehicles any of us should buy today being Toyota / Lexus, Honda / Acura, and Mazda products. Everything else built today is absolute garbage.
I'd like to get my hands on those new Mazda cx90 with the turbo Straight 6
I don't drive anymore, and My Parents have a 2013 Nissan Altima. My Mom used to like Buick Century's and She used to like K Cars, but We got rid of them a long time ago.
Keep all these SUVs, drive them off a cliff. The cost is ridiculous. This is my view coming from driving a 20 year old Jeep Liberty with a 3.7l engine. For $1,000 I got a jewel, a little rough being 20 years old, but so simple anyone with a grade school education can drive. The Nissan I drove for a couple of weeks was a terrible experience. It is OVERLY complex. The Jeep is the epitome of simplicity. Benefits of the Jeep is that it is mechanically far more simple with parts readily available. Sure, it's no where as luxurious as these SUVs (really station wagons) but it does have leather seats, power steering, auto tranny, heater, radio/cd/cassette, A/C (currently not operational) and power windows, also not working properly. What do you expect for $1,000. Soon will get A/C working along with the power windows and that little pesky oil leak. But I will never get close to spending that kind of money on something that will have a limited lifespan. The Jeep is 20 and is just getting its second wind. The others will be broken into parts to be recycles. I'm ranting because the cost of cars in absolutely out of sight. Wish people would just keep their cars that are still serviceable and tell the auto companies to take a hike. I really would like to see these companies make cars cheap in cost like what they did last century.
My sister in law bought a 2003 rubicon liberty new. It succumbed to rust and engine problems within 10 years.
Those jeeps are junk when they age most of the time. What's wrong with a station wagon by the way?? I agree with keeping an older car ,ect
Would have to disagree with the new Rogue. They've really made the vehicle significantly better in comparison to the previous models. Sales wise, it's doing quite well and reviews are very positive.
I agree
21:43 that cackle made my day
i prefer truckd to have 4 or 5 sp manual trans my 99 explorer got 20 mpg on my 40 mile round trip to work 22 on long trip
ohv 4l 5 sp. easy to power shift. i buy another if ford made this again. i never will buy a 4cyl turbo truck
I though Scotty said don’t buy anything built buy GM built after 2000
The Mazda engine still seems pretty KOOL!!!
Good or Bad, I want to see ‘em in out board motors-marine engines!!!!
Scotty, thank you for sharing this information!!!!
OMG Scotty, this one is you're funniest yet. !
