Where did you buy your scanner from im trying to get the same one
WHERE YOU FIND THIS TRUCK AT SCOTTY. $14,000. TRD
Hi Scotty
Hey scotty just curious you had a video on not buying Toyota vehicles and had a good opinion on this Toyota so I'm confused what do u think about Toyota I personally would never buy a foreign car but that's me just wanna get ur actual opinion
Where in the world did you find a 4x4 4 door Tacoma with 100k for 10k they have already doubled in value. That truck is 20k plus. Easy
The fact that 1990s vehicles are considered old or even classics makes me feel old. Definitely the last decade of simple purpose built durable reliable trucks in my opinion anyway.
I hear ya… but I feel like a classic
Esp if 50+ and they say ‘my mom/dad are getting old’ then find out you’re close to same age. 🙄 An older friend gets grandparents are same age. Oops. But a younger friend’s Grandfather sees a woman 30 yrs younger - her sis dated the uncle. Healthy family. 🤣
When I got my driver's license back in 1993, I got a '68 Buick Wildcat that was 9 years older than I was and it certainly was old then! I managed to keep it 8 years and I needed to subscribe to Hemmings Motor news for spare parts as they were already inexistant in junkyards around here! I still have mid-1960s Buicks but I stopped driving them daily years ago! And now my daily driver (a 1993 a Toyota SR5 pickup that I bought 15 years ago) is older than my first car was in 1993. People talk to me about it in parking lots as if it was a unique vehicle. They made millions of these and for so many years that there were still plenty on the roads until recently and to me, they never felt old as they were brand new and out of my reach when I got my driver's license! I have to admit they are getting rarer around here! I'm even thinking about storing it for winter now!
Most new truck are great.. just super expensive.. all new pickups on Job sites getting work done everyday..
Credit union said the 2000 tacoma is antique 🤦 idiots
I was never much of a car person growing up, but I’m certain that if I had someone like Scotty as an influence, I would be! The passion for the subject is downright infectious. I only found this channel less than a week ago and I am so here for it. :)
Gotta get a fun car to drive. The addiction will get you!
Been watching him since he got here since the beginning of youtube awesome mechanic 👍❤️
You got some many great videos to watch. Get used to “endless money pits”😂
one of my best....lol "useless pile of junk" lol :) @@ianwalters11
I just gave my 1990 Toyota hilux 4 x4 to my son which had over 300,000iles and still runs great.
The best cheap truck to buy is the one you can afford😂
Yep😂
Truest words ever spoken lol. Doesn't get more logical than that
😂😂😂 Also true 😅
Facts
Or the one that is paid for.
Right when we needed an update scotty comes in clutch
Here in Los Angeles that TRD would cost about 20.000 thousand. I've been looking for one. Plus the gas mileage on those are very bad. However it's going to last forever 😊
Another great video by Scotty, took me back to memory lane with hardbody Nissan 👍🏼
I set the playback speed to 75% on the last video because I was trying to read Russian subtitles and forgot to switch back when I clicked yours. Scotty sounds hammered. Lol
I live in Maine with lots of rust. Last year I picked up a rust-free '05 GMC Sierra Crew Cab from North Carolina for 10k. Put another 5k into it, suspension, 2" lift kit, new radio, few small fixes and other things to make it pretty. They're so easy to work on.... This thing does everything a new truck does for a fraction of the price.
Keep up the great work Scotty! Love your videos.
You ll love that GMC...i have an 08 sierra 4.8 liter no afm or vvt...just plain...its great.
The wiring behind the dash of my mom's 2005 Tacoma V6 PreRunner sparked a fire and the truck was totaled... we spent almost 1/2 of the insurance settlement check on a solid rust free one owner 2002 SR5 TRD Off Road Access Cab V8 Tundra. She loves the upgrade and a nice chunk of money in her pocket
Im not sure i would have bouggt the same truck of the same era after hers burnt
@@richsweeney1115 Why not?
The fire was most likely caused by rodents, or the previous owner removing an aftermarket sound system and reinstalling the factory head unit
1996 first year Vortec in OBS. Solid engine. 225K miles, still running strong.
We absolute love and appreciate you Scotty!
Just bought a 1991 Hardbody 4X4 4 cylinder with 94,000 miles from an elderly woman, only paid $500 bucks! I have less than $500 invested in maintenance so far. Happy as can be with this truck!!!
That same truck in Georgia would be asking at least $17,000... and it would be sold in a week.
Same in Ontario Canada. Used car prices still high.
Glad to finally see a hard body on one of Scotty's good truck videos! Love my 1991!
Like my 2017 Nissan Frontier 4x4. Got it in 2018 had 17,000 miles on it. 6 years later only 29,000 miles and it's been a great truck. And it's paid for. Finally lol
I just traded my 01 Tundra at 282,000 miles in for a 2011 Tundra with 64,000 miles. That thing ran and woulda ran for years to come. This video makes me miss it
It's honestly been too late to buy a reliable used truck for about three years now. They're either gone in minutes or priced at quintiple their value. At some point people started realizing they don't make 'em like they used to.
I wished I lived closer to Scotty so he could constantly repair my Toyotas.
Any 2x4 truck is a better truck to buy. Because the drivetrain is the simplest out-of all vehicles
+1 for Toyota trucks! I've got a '94 T100, and the frame is rock solid & looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The 3.0L V-6 isn't the greatest motor, shitty fuel economy, but overall the truck is bulletproof and it's served me very well.
My 02 Tacoma is a rust machine
I had a 2011 same thing. 6 speed stick. Awesome little truck
I bought a 2015 2.7 Tacoma during the sweet spot of the pandemic where people were shitting their pants and vehicles were sitting on lots too long. Paid 11K for it, 140K miles and it had a custom snugtop worth around 5-6K on the bed. 😎
You paid too much
10K what a deal...Here people sell Tacoma 2005-2008 like 10K....And 2012-2016 like 20K LOOOOL.....in Mexico
@@650tonyd in other words i can sell it now for more than I bought it for hope this helps 😘
Man wish I could buy one for that price now, I bought a 98 tacoma 2.4 in 2020 for 3,400 with 160,000 on it, nothing to brag about but its my daily driver and it is really good on gas. I love it. I want a new Tacoma now but can’t afford it 😂
@@chevyridah7p99 I just bought a new 2023 Tacoma 2.7, what a difference in the 2011 Tacoma I traded in. Love that truck!
Hey Scotty, I had a 1995 C3500. The AC clutch stopped engaging. I fixed it by removing one of the spacer shims. Apparently over time the electromagnet that engages the clutch weakens and removing at least one shim allows it to grab being closer.
bought one of these brand new in 1987 $7,000($156 a month nothing down) 4cy. 5 sp. 2wd the only option was a/c it had 8 spark plugs which was unique back then had plenty of power. was a great truck. those were the days.
The square body chevy pickup truck, suburbans and k5 blazers are also going up in value, along with the square body dodge pickups, ramchargers, old broncos 1978-1996.
I believe the "exploding Firestones" were due to Ford engineers recommending below rated tire pressures because a certain Ford SUV model liked to rest on the side of the highway with the shiny side down. Personally saw several of them in this position.
That recall incident was so notorious, they made references to it on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" during that time.
»"Here's your damn Schwinn back¡ Repair totals are $89.95, will that be cash or card?"
»"... I didn't order the Firestone tires."
The Firestone tires in the 1970s and 80s earned the reputation of exploding quite honestly. I had two cars that came with Firestones, both sets separated and came apart prematurely while they still had plenty of tread. I haven't bought a Firestone tire since and never will.
Nice solid truck bro 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I have an 04 Tacoma with 320k on it. Only big maintenance I’ve done is timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket replacement. These are great trucks. Hopefully my 2020 3rd gen Taco will last like this one.
(Nissan Hardbody) Yea that's the exact same kind of backseat that was in my dad's 1996 Chevrolet S10 extended cab. Crammed was an understatement
I bought a 2013 Civic SI coupe for $14.5k with 100k miles, not cheap but im very happy with it. All old Hondas and Toyota’s are the best.
Picked up an 03 Dodge Dakota quad cab with 95k miles for $8k and it was in good shape despite being in Colorado for most of its life. V8 engine in a midsize means it could tow if needed but on the highway it eats miles with its large gas tank. So far have put 65k miles on my own with about another $5k in for some fixes, maintenance, and tasteful mods. Old trucks can still treat you good.
I personally would never pay $8k for an old dodge..there are so many other choices.. i like the dtyle if the 03 dakota and durango, every dodge ive had, has had a rebuikt tranny putin before i got it..last year, a friend i was working for gave me a running 95 dakota 4 door, v8 4x4.. i made a bad trade trying to help someone wo had kids, i traded it for an 07 5 spd outback, which i ended up selling, i could have fixed it, but i didnt even have the money for parts it needed shortly after i got it. It was the only time ive screwed myself on a trade
If I come across an F-150 with the 300 straight six, manual transmission, and it was in good condition, I would make an offer.
Best used truck video you've ever made Scotty!!
Hey Scott, That Tacoma had just started to go, there is a absolutely fantastic rust STOPER. It works, " Extend " by Loctite. I brush mine on. There is also a spray. I started using it in the 80's. It works, I still own a car that i used it on 25 years ago. No rust. I started painting cars in 1986. If used correctly it really works.
What's the correct way to use it then
Notice us senpai
I’ve got a 93 hardbody I’ve got 2 grand in it it’s got 285 000 miles and has no rust n runs like a champ no power steering but I love it if I want fancy I drive my 08 tundra with 200000 miles drives n runs like brand new
My old 86 blazer is now worth a fortune.
I have one of those. Love it. I'd buy another just to have in stock. In fact I'm going to.
8:14 that sideways backseat in the Nissan is an awesome idea 👍
GMT400, SOLID LIKE A ROCK 💯🤙🏻😎
Divide mileage on vehicle by yrs driven to get avg. Gives idea of use. Obv hwy vs non, total owners, weather from area it’s from etc are key too.
I sure do appreciate a guy that takes the time to clean up his truck and get it looking good.
Scotty deserves a UA-cam award
Scotty, I have a 2002 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 with 130,000 miles and it runs and drives excellent. I keep up with all the maintenance. Are there any issues that I should be concerned about? I did have the manifold replaced this year due to some kind of leak… it is a plastic manifold.
87 pick-up sounds pretty good to me. Wish I had one.
Cash for clunkers killed off many great fantastic vehicles. Countless rock solid Suburbans and Yukons were surrendered for garbage like the Chevy Cruze or Chrysler 200s. So sad.
I like how the ol 1st gen Tacoma popped up and I own one so one being on this video makes me happy
I just got a 1996 toyota tacoma 2wd, and if you want a reliable truck for cheap you can find 2wd first gen first look tacomas for 5,000 or less pretty often that take some work. So if you are willing to do some work and want a truck, early 2wd first Gen Tacomas are a great choice if you are broke and dont need 4wd but need a truck
Sometimes I wonder if ole Scotty is fibbing about those prices. No way that taco is $10k
if it is, it's probably the 2.7L 4 cylinder and a manual transmission with an "accident" reported on it.
usually these prices are listed on the the hot-swap sites: carvana, car guru, etc. the same sources that'll sell you a hunk of junk at 10k instead of a more moderate price.
@@admin11093 that'd be an exception to the rule, not the rule itself.
They exist, I do not need one but found 3 for sale locally
Yeah it’s a 20 yr old truck for $10k that’s $8k too much!! The more people pay for them the more they ask!!
@@thevashfan12392 I was thinking the same. Probably a salvage titled truck.
Those sideways back seats in that Nissan are hilarious
That Tacoma was a steal! Easily woulda sold for double that in California.
Why can’t cars be simple anymore. Computers aren’t nothing but trouble in cars.
Because most people don't want a car, they want a cell phone on wheels.
I agree on the Nissan hardbody/Pathfinder/Terrano. The 3.0 liter V6 is bulletproof. Only worry is the idiots that dont realise that the engine and oil filter takes just about gallon of oil. 3-4 k miles max between oil changes.
92 chevry 103 miles when i got it.
16 yrs later 208 miles and going strong.
I have the same 86 Nissan truck I do miss it
I've owned hardbodys for twenty years. In Colorado. The frames rot like crazy if your in an area that uses mag clhoride.
Hardbody?? The body metal is the thinnest sheet metal ever put on a truck or car! That said the drivetrains are rock solid, the traction on the 4x4s is amazing , many came with rear posi stock. Parts are still available and fairly cheap. 400k and 290k trucks still don't use oil.
Haha, you're 100% right about the sheetmetal. I worked at a Nissan dealership when the hardbodies came out. Our sales guys jokingly referred to them as lardbodies because exterior panels were so soft. Other than that they were good trucks.
We don't use salt as in rock salt, in Colorado. We use mostly sand and mag chloride. Yeah, mag chloride will rot out your car, but it takes a lot longer.
I have one of them 1$t gen 2003 Tacoma 4door TRD, Sitting in my garage, 150,000 miles one owner
I have an '03 Tundra V6. Bought it when I lived in California. Its got 230,000 on it and its been coast to coast and everywhere in between. It's never let me down. Ive had to throw some money at it the last couple of years but so what. I plan to give it to my son in a couple of years when he gets his license.
That Chevy Pickup must have been a Grandpa Truck. Well cared for.
I have a 1988 Toyota 2wd pickup Carbureted 4 cyl with a 4 spd manual that gets 31mpg.
That 96 chevy still has a box full of modules got to get 94 or older they only have a hand full to deal with😉
Those are the original Nissan chrome rims the optional aluminum ones looked like they were on the lunar moon rover with the big triangle
Great truck’s
The dash board and instrumentation, on the nissan hard body, is very similar, to the GM trucks, of the same time. Almost identical.
What is really happening is the value of the dollar is eroding faster than a Chevy in the rust belt.
Scotty is uploading videos daily now nice
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
@scotty, I’ve been following you for almost a decade now. I watched the above statement within your comment section!! I am happy for you
1995 WD21 Pathfinder. Just getting around 279k miles. Needs work but engine still strong.
I have a 99 Silverado with 180k. The ac doesn’t work, Horn doesn’t work and the electric mirrors no longer adjust, but every time I need it, it’s ready to go.
Has Scott talked about the dodge getting rid of the hemi? Replacing wit the hurricane turbo?
My 03 TRD Tacoma has 300k miles and runs like a sewing machine. I gave $10k for it 5 years ago and regularly get offers for that amount. 4x4, v6, extra cab, 20mpg. I’ll never sell it.
I could never get a great like you did. I don't have that kinda luck.
Ok weird thing Scotty. I have a 1996 Celica and a 1987 D21 aka hardbody. My last name is also Kilmer. We must be related even if it is 40 generations ago 😂
The 2006 TRD I have the paint is wearing thin it's down to the factory primer..
My high IQ CaliFOREIGNia State employee, retired, tells me to use OTC rattle cans to paint the truck..
It's only because she some of the top quality paint work I did working for a company that sold and repaired
Jac-ob-Sen and other brands' turff equipment.
I would strip down old outdated equipment, clean with purple cleaner, which will etch the surface and provide a great bonding surface..
Once cleaned I used Wallylands brand 98 cent cans of primer and black paint..
For the factory orange, I used the factories canned paint..
Once done, the manager couldn't tell which one was factory or my work..
Sad part, he sold them as new equipment...
Not refurbished..
A reel head that was worth $250 used, he sold for $1400 as new..
Took over all time for one head 2 hours..
Times 5 heads.
Parts and labor total was $350, for a profit of $4,000, which he pocketed because they weren't in the inventory..
He paid my time and parts out of pocket..
I love these videos.
The Nissan hardbody…. YEAH!!!!!!
Bought a 2010 SR5 2.7 5 Spd. Base model in 2017 for 12K w 124K...at my age it's the last wheels I'll buy, but that bench seat is punishing...
Technology and reliability is such a hard thing to find the perfect medium. Subaru figured out how to make a very reliable car. And then they put a radio in it that makes the car breakdown.
I've had great luck with my subaru, but it's 20 years old
2001 - 2007 GMC 2500HD Duramax.... million mile truck hands down
My 93 K1500, 230k, AC still works. BUT the little deflector door, in the Dash, is not working. AC goes wherever it wants.
Age of a vehicle matters not in Michigan when it comes to insurance.
Evening Scotty 😊
As an owner of a 93 ""Hardbody" also known as a D21 or 850 to a windshield shop...strange... I would disagree about sticking to a v6. My 4 banger K24E is only 10 less HP than the V6. I wanted to V6 swap it but when I found out there wasn't much difference in power that a good exhaust wouldn't make up for, the work wasn't worth it.
Love the standard transmission
What are your thoughts on the 4th gen Mazda B-Series trucks are they as good as the Nissan?
😂😂😂 Power Steering sounds like a Goose 🦆 Honking Away. 😂😂😂. Hey you backed into my mailbox 📬 and knocked it over - Come Back Here You Swine. 😂😂😂 I Love your humor Scotty 🙂
I have a '96 S 10 Blazer 4X4 with a 4.3 V6. I've had it for 14 years 153K. Turn the key and you're off. I like it.
Is it possible for you to get your hands on a Hilux champ for a review on that man?
I bought a one-owner clean 06 Taco 4x4 for $10k.. I love it...
I put 286k on my 94 GMC Sierra 5.7 and had 14 yrs. I then bought another GMC Sierra 5.3 and had it 14 1/2 yrs with 132k miles. I went to purchase comparable GMC truck again & was $64,680 plus plus plus. Almost 70k out the door. Went & bought a new 2023 Honda Ridgeline AWD V6 that tows my 18 1/2 ft Ranger bass boat for out the door $42,645.88 made in Alabama. Told GM I’d been a customer for 49 years. They priced themselves out of my league.
A 4wd first gen tacoma with only 100k miles will be over $15k in my area
If you were to buy a full size truck 2015 or newer what would you choose?
Don't want or need 4 doors on a truck. Trucks are for hauling, not taking the family shopping. My "crew" can drive their own truck to the job. I am not a taxi.
Best truck to buy is a 1994 Toyota Celica
California CARB is making it almost impossible to get early 90's chevys smogged.
Hey Scotty. Do you like anything from Dodge or Chrysler?
Absolutely love seeing cars older than myself get their proper share of TLC
