I buot a grand caravan new at that time with 3.6 engine 6speed transmission at 19.500 mile transmission went bad they fix it after 1 month later then at 30000 miles engine start to make a bad noise coming from lefters they fix it when I turn 59000 the noise came back. Never fix it I got red off it. No doge no garbage. Save your headic lol.
Scotty, you gotta peel the tires with that supra for your intro :) just a lil bit
@scotty Kilmer witch car company is worst Nissan or dodge
The only car that doesn't fail is a 1994 Celica...
The best thing about the Chrysler 200.... is that they stopped making them..🤣🤣🤣
I'm still scratching my head wondering why Chrysler is still in the market.
@@ruben2365 Same Here
Lol
@@ruben2365 Same about Nissan.... they are the Japanese Chrysler
@@leadnsteel1428 Amen total junk.
Imagine if Chrysler had the same energy for quality, as they do styling.
If they did that I'd still have 2 300C's.
Italian DNA
Very true, Chrysler has some very beautiful cars but sadly none of them will be around by 2030 yet 80% of corollas on the road today will still be around in 2040
Imagine if Chrysler made their other cars as good as the Viper
Boostang - not to mention all those Celicas.
Hello! I actually had a 2012 Chrysler 200, the same trim and options as this one. I recently had to get rid of the car because the transmission went out, but I did get to 196,789 miles out of the original engine and transmission! R.I.P. Channel
I revved my engine, unfortunately, it was a 4 cylinder Silverado hauling a camper van. It didn't end well.
I revved my Geo metro 3 cylinder once. Once......
I revved my focus 1.6TDCI... didn't go well
"Joey, you ever revved a 4-cylinder engine?"
venomSlayer293 revved mine but there was no power got a bad cat
I remember the days a Chrysler wouldn't start in wet weather. Ever since then I never trusted or liked them.
Why? The car only wanted to protect you from dieing a horrible death caused by sliding of the slippery road. 😄
The best was a 1968 Dodge Dart.I loved that car.
@@thomasmcmanus6575 Slant six or V8?
Sounds like you tried to drive my wife's old Grand Cherokee - if it rained, I'd have to go pick her up in my Silverado. If it was near home, I would drag it back to the house with a tow chain. I don't miss Chrysler products!
Slant Six.I also had a 1968 Road Runner. With a 383 motor. She was fast !
I’m sitting in front of a Chevy dealership right now and all I hear is Scotty screaming “junkyard”. Lol
steven facts.
Nathan I drove someone here and they’re about to buy one
@@thakiddmistic7610 tell him endless money pit
They're not even good for parts, so they're worse than a junkyard!
I wish I could talk to Scotty for real. Last week I convinced a friend to buy a Camry after she told me she looked at a cheap Cadillac and an Altima. He’d be so proud of me.
Your right Scotty my wife’s looks was super deceiving.
Aaaawwwww
Thanks to Scotty I switched from Chrysler to Lexus. Best decision ever.
That is like switching from expired lunch meat to a porterhouse steak.
@@hgonz14 I had a great Chrysler got 300,000 miles on it. The mechanic also said it was like one of 3 he’s seen over the years that lasted it was a 97 cirrus
I like Scotty’s “Live Free ir Die” sign. Classic just like his car.
Bryan Del Cid - Scotty may live in Texas, but his heart is in New Hampshire.
Pac1fic0 that phrase shouldn’t belong to NH. That state was ruined decades ago
Jaret Boston I agree that sign belongs exactly where it is in Texas.
Ummm, Alex, I'll take "Living Free" for $ 200...
No disrespect to the great state of Texas (25 in per capita income, 39 in education), but you boys have some catching up to do with the Granite State (10 in per capita income and 8 in education).
You can be a Chrysler fan. Till you own one of course.
My father's friend had a 1998 grand voyager 3.3 LE and it was a tough car. Idk it held up quite well for some reason.. at 200k miles with no problems.
Toyotas now aren't perfect either. Better but not perfect. A myth.
The Chrysler Viper is a pretty good car tho. They sold them as Chrysler in Europe.
I own 4. All run fine
I know a few people who've gotten 300k+ miles out of their Mopars.
I know many more who've not made it to 100k. I would love to be one of the lucky ones, but with unfavorable odds like that, it's not worth the risk for that amount of money.
Dual exhaust look at that, that's the best thing on the car
what about the green tree air freshener?
@@cptophers4626
Air fresheners are endless money pits. Lol.
Q: What do you call a Chrysler with dual exhausts?
A: A wheelbarrow
@@cptophers4626 yeah and the green tree air freshener but it's probably made by chrysler aswell
The way he said, “and it’s go dual exhaust look at that” is what took me out he is hilarious
4:08 It does start right up. I give 'em that.

Kushal Bhardwaj that’s because of the miles 😂
I worked in sales for a Chrysler dealer in 2014. A new model 200 had just arrived, and we were encouraged to learn all about the new car. Another salesman and I took one out for a test drive and were immediately underwhelmed. It was nowhere near a Camry, Accord, or even a Malibu.
I had a Chrysler 200 with over 200.000 miles and never done any major work on it oil change and basic tune ups that’s really it but never had problems with engine or transmission I also take care of my cars and it still ran like I first bought it at 2800 miles
You're forgetting this was $26000 before they threw on the minimum of 5k in rebates
thats correct, scotty doesnt tell you that
Ram trucks have been advertised as *"25% off"* for the past few years. You see a few suckers driving new ones, but I think most of the trucks have had their tires cemented to the ashphalt at the dealership.
If it weren't for employees, Chrysler wouldn't sell a car.
I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 Sport with a 3.6 engine. I drive it daily to work. 40 miles one way. I bought it with 88,000 miles for $9,800 dollars. Loaded car with leather interior. All power options. Windows, seats etc. I can honestly say the car has 148000 current miles on it. It has been a good car. As long as i have the maintenance done on time and correctly I have never seen a Chrysler or Dodge product that I couldn't drive well past 200000 miles. That is the honest-to-god truth.
Im thinking of getting one myself.
Me too
@@GFS695 as someone who's owned countless Chrysler products, I highly recommend something with a HEMI and the 8 speed auto in it. So basically a 2015 or newer 300, charger, or challenger. Those are incredibly reliable.
Any car will last as long as you take care of it
I have a 2014 S that just hit 100k. After 5 years . I can honestly say, it's quiet, comfortable. Fast as hell for a send and been reliable. The only think I would advise is checking the heat. Mine, as with. Ton of other chrysler products has a clogged heater core. Only one side of the car gets hear. Other than that. The quality of the materials, the quietness and the ride in my 200 have been awesome
So people actually buy Chrysler vehicles?🤔.... Yikes!! 🤦🏾♂️
retards in my country do
Bid Bidnanakowski meh most older cars with less than 160k miles will be fine, we’re talking about newer Chrysler stuff
The trucks are the real junk
Mostly single, strong independent women and old people....
@@roscoeelcocko1863 and Karen's
Scotty, i run a 2010 Chrysler Sebring and oddly enough its still running pretty good. 170k miles on it and the only issue ive had was a leak from my fuel cap. Drives fairly well, though everyone says Chrysler is bad and i agree but my car is running much better then other cars.
Similar "Anti-Chrysler" experience on the 1994 Dodge Intrepid - about $26K out the door ... ended up getting rid of it less than 4-frustrating unreliable years later and wisely going for a Honda Accord $26K out the door. Talk about night and day experience!!! Looks like Dodge/Chrysler is still churning out consistent(ly Bad) cars ... The 1998 Honda is still running great.
I guess you just have $26k to throw around every 4 years
Yup- I had a 1990 Dodge with the A604 that needed 3 rebuilds in less than 70k. Ended up going to small claims court (and won) over that pile of garbage.
That's funny I've never had any trouble like that with my 4 Intrepid's multiple family members have had them we've never had any trouble. On the other hand my aunt's Honda Accord had 2 motors and 4 transmissions haha.
I bought a used 95 Chrysler Concorde for 3k in college. Georgous car loved it untill it became an endless money pit and had to scrap it in less than 2 years
One of the worst cars I ever had was a 96 intrepid followed by a 06 Pacifica lesson learned
everyone saying “they sell because they look good,” am i the only one who thinks chryslers are ugly as HELL
SneakerKnockerz oh boy I feel sorry for my poor eyes every time a PT Cruiser passes by
They look better than what Ford and GM are putting out. All the foreign stuff looks the same, ugly grills, the same wind tunnel body lines, and weak power.
My dad used to say “Chrysler had lousy designs but good motors; Oldsmobile had good designs but lousy motors.” He was Chrysler guy through and through, after owning 3 Plymouth Dusters.
I have a 2010 dodge avenger with the 2.4 L 4 cylinder and 4 speed auto. (Same car, different engine and transmission) and I have 215000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Have had almost no issues. Not all their cars are bad.
I've heard that the dodge Avenger was one of the best cars ever made by Dodge, Fiat, or Chrysler. I take it you can agree?
@@donjuandinero I have only had this car so I can't speak on that. I know this car has been great and reliable.
scotty I have the exact same car but with the 2.4l 4cylinder It just recently rolled over 258,000 havnt had any serious issue.ive changed wheel bearings and decoupler pulley that's it..hahaha..but I've use Mobil 1 full synthetic oil its whole life and stayed on top of filter changes and stuff like that...
Smart man! If you are gonna take any car to that kind of mileage especially a chrysler your maintenance needs to be meticulous to have a chance! Congratulations on defying the odds and defining your own experience and path with that company. Your experience has been a good one despite the History and statistical data on them for nearly half a century. Let's see how long you can keep her running!
I have an '08 Town and Country with 104000 miles, simple maintenance and original trans and engine.
Same use of Mobil 1 in a 2008 Malibu LT2 V6. Excellent reliability at 203,000 miles.
I have a 2005 Malibu LS V6 and I'm at 267k miles. Super reliable.
The Pentastar V6 is Chrysler's best made and reliable v6 you don't see them crap out because they were actually built great like the V8's but their 4 cylinders I don't know how those will fair.
I’ve owned probably 10 or more Chrysler products over the last 40 plus years. A 78 Chrysler Lebaron, an 82 Dodge Aries wagon, an 85 Dodge 150 pick up, a 1990 Caravan, an 85 XJ Cherokee, a 2000 Grand Caravan, a 2001 XJ Cherokee and a 2012 Grand Caravan plus a few more. I think it’s all in how you service your vehicle and maintain them. In 40 plus years I’ve never had any major issues. And I’ve owned other brands also. A few Toyota’s, an Olds cutlass, a Chevy S10 and more.
not everyone change their cars in 4 years
Quite a car collection.
Its all in the maintenance. I have an 08 Town and Country with 104000 miles, still runs good.
That's questionable dude. I changed my oil and drove mostly highway, but it didn't stop my Sonata engine from seizing at 119k.
MattPSU02 With a Theta 2 mill you were right about on schedule.
I bought a Chrysler 200 with the 4 cylinder and now has 90k miles. Still drives like when I bought it at 30k. No major problems. Must have gotten lucky I guess.
Most people did not buy the Chrysler 200 new.
They were mainly sold to rental companies and people bought them used.
Plus you know people drive the crap out of rental cars.
I have had 2 Dodge Journey's with the 3.6 liter 6 speed automatics. Both had close to 200K with no motor or transmission issues.
But I made sure the schedule maintenance was done.
Your disdain for Chrysler cracks me up! 😂😂😂
Its based on the reality of the company for the past 40 years! They simply aren't engineered for the long haul!
@@gabevillarreal96 I disagree. I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 sport that I'm sitting in right now, it has 148000 miles on it. I bought it for $9,800 with 88,000 miles on it and I can honestly say it is a good car. I changed the oil over from a blend type oil to full synthetic 5w 30. The 3.6 engine runs good. The fact of the matter is very few people really do maintenance on their cars or take them somewhere to have it done. what happens simple they delay doing their maintenance.
Have the oil changed every 3000 miles or whatever that the manufacturer says. Rather they will get one done in six or seven thousand miles. that's the main reason why Chrysler gets a bad name. I have been a Chrysler fan all my life and I'll gladly buy somebody's Chrysler that they say they don't want because I've never seen a Chrysler or Dodge product that as long as I did my maintenance on time or had it done on time correctly that I couldn't drive well past 200,000 miles. That is the honest truth.

Go buy one, keep it long term, sell it then come back with your own cracked up disdain 😅🤣😅
@@rondellschuyler7074 CAR COMPANIES do not earn their reputation good or bad based on tbe general consensus of their customers maintenance habits or lack there of! That's a ridiculous statement. Basically saying that 95% of Fiat Chrysler owners are idiots. No! The problem is not the people its the ENGINEERING FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS YEARS! MANY PEOPLE MISTREAT TOYOTAS AND HONDAS AS FAR AS RUNNING THEM HARD AND SLACKING ON THEIR MAINTENANCE BIGTIME BUT THE VEHICLES WERE OVER ENGINEERED TO TAKE A BEATING AND KEEP ON FULL SPEED AHEAD! HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MAINTENANCE. NOW, MAINTAINING YIUR CAR CORRECTLY AND DRIVING IT LIKE YOU WANT IT TO LAST DEFINITELY HELPS BUT IT IS BY NO MEANS TBE PRIMARY REASON WHYANY COMPANY FAILS OR SUCCEEDS! THATS LIKE SAYING TOYOTA AND LEXUS EARNED THEIR REPUTATION IN THE INDUSTRY BY HAVING STELLAR CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE LOYALTY!?? NO! IT WAS THE ENGINEERING SINCE THE BIRTH OF THE COMPANY! THEY SIMPLY GOT IT RIGHT! CHRYSLER DID NOT! LIKE THE OTHER GUYS SAID....YOU GIT LUCKY BECAUSE THE DATA SAYS THE OPPOSITE! GOOD LUCK TO YOU SIR.

A friend of mine began his career at Chrysler as an engineer. When he found a major design flaw he went to the chief engineer and explained the issue. His boss told him not to worry about it. “We will engineer it in the field”. My friend quit shortly there after.
Sounds just about right ✅
I feel like total “price” is relatively meaningless anymore since nearly everyone leases - or finances for 72-84 months. I’ll keep my cash cars, thanks!!
shootr04 .... I’m 85 ... owned probably 12 or 14 cars ... none leased ... currently have a 2018 Camry LE and a 2020 Hyundai Elantra SEL..both paid for .....but I’m sure many if not most cars on the road are leased ... especially luxury cars.
One of my friends bought one one against my advice. She regretted it when the battery died and realized the wheel and the fender liner had to be removed just to replace the battery.
Awesome video Scotty. I just got a used 2016 f150 xlt sport with a v8 30k miles.
Scotty, you’re the only man I trust to declare a trunk “comfy”! 😂
Hey Scotty, when are you going to talk about that awesome 3.3L sludge maker Toyota engine? Oh right .. Toyota is so perfect. I had a Chrysler 200 and it was absolutely reliable. I have absolutely no idea where in heck you could buy a Camry for the same price as a 200... Seriously. You are a Toyota fan, I get, but seriously, you can't even compare. You could get a 200 for the price of a base Corolla, that's why. And 48,000 of city driving is absolutely awful for any car.
Selling you an economy car at non economy prices. Also is the same price as a Camry. Basically admits the Camry is way overpriced.
If I didn't have my '05 sebring (2.4l i4, 4-speed) and was looking into an affordable car, I would consider actually getting one. I've had great luck with all mine and my fiancee's chryslers (the sebring, '10 dakota (3.7l v6, 4-speed auto), '04 durango (5.7l v8, 5-speed auto), we sold our '97 t&c (3.8l v6, 4-speed auto) with 216k miles). If they're as bad as you say, I can pocket the savings from a Camry and itll financially balance out. In my experience, chryslers are only marginally less reliable, just keep up on the maintenance and it will last a long time.
my cousin had a 2013 with the v6, first the a/c went, right front window stopped working, engine starting ticking and leaking oil like mad, one night a deer saved her from owning that car any longer
2019-2020 Toyota Rav4's lower control arms are cracking and when they break you will lose control of your car. Toyota is aware of this but not notifying customers for another two months. Please mention this Scotty to your audience.
He won't
@@ak-47mob18 He will never call out Toyota.
I'm sure he will, Toyota is a great company, but they're not perfect. I mean it's only like 9500 of them anyway. meaning it was one of their factories probably here in the states.
@@ExcellsNT Yup. If Toyota is so "bullet proof" shouldn't have happened in the first place.
@@Magescuro they were built in the factory in Japan. The control arms were made in Japan also.
Is it just me, or did Scotty sound just like E-40 when he said "OoooOOoohh it's got dual exhausts, look at that?"
He totally did! Never expected an E-40 reference here. I tip my hat, sir.
GOOD RULE OF THUMB...
If you see a car on the Rent-a-Car lots. Never buy them. Ex: the 200's were all over Enterprise's lots.
Heated seats, LCD screens, and 84-month loans. That's how you move merchandise in the US of A.
If the government EPA didn’t make so many rules and regulations about gas mileage cars wouldn’t have to come with so much technical crap

Reminds me of my dad, a Die hard Toyota fan.
Chrysler products from the 50s and 60s were usually good.
Good at what? Leaving you stranded on the road lol
@@brianmorecombe2726
No worse than other products of the Big 3 at the time. I was there. I remember.
I had a 2013 200 Limited. I bought it with 48,000 miles and sold it with 67,000 miles. For me it was a great car. The performance was fantastic and I felt that I got a lot of car for the money I spent. I only had two abnormal issues during my ownership. First, I had an oil leak from the engine that was fixed under the powertrain warranty. Second, the hood developed a small corrosion spot near the headlight. The entire hood was replaced free of charge by Chrysler under their corrosion warranty. The only reason I sold the car was because I needed something AWD and with more ground clearance.
my mom's 2013 has that exact 3.6 engine. it hasn't given her a lot of problems even at 100k+ miles.
I have a 12 Dodge Avenger, same car. It’s been alright at 100k + miles
@Greg B my mom never checked the coolant and it was leaking a bit. one time i drove it and it overheated. didn't blow a head gasket, nothing warped, still runs damn good.
Chrysler is like Nissan. They have great designs that age incredibly well. They just are not built well.
Except Nissan is better...
Chrysler is JUNK, anything under the Fiat brands, it's all poop including Dodge, Jeep, Ram, all of it, cheaply made crap
(about 7 minutes in) "These cars also had problems with the Number 2 ... valve seats." Best use of a pause, ever.
All of Scotty's definitions of a great car:
A. Doesn't break down much
B. Aircon runs icy cold
C. See answer B
D. See answer C
Repeat
I have a 2009 Dodge Caravan with a 62TE transmission, and it seems to be in good condition, even at 187,000 miles. No work has been done to the transmission, aside from a fluid change. I even recently drove it to Utah from New York, and then back. From my own experience, the engine and transmission in that car are extremely dependable.
The 3.3/3.8 engines are much simpler than the Pentastars, and you've taken care of it, so that'll definitely help with reliability. 👍
Mostly exaggerations. I had 2 Caravans as service vans, one 2014 and one 2016, both over 150.000 KM, not single problem on transmission or engine . And sometime we had -40 here in Edmonton , Alberta.
93k miles.... id hope a car could live that long. I have a c-max hybrid almost at 300k miles
I'm sad because my parents bought me a new Bentley but I wanted a new Corolla. 😟
Or Celica
Fiat/ Chrysler is a horrible company.
PSA can only be an improvement.
I have a 2012 Chrysler 200 Limited with 100,000 miles on it. Its been great to me other than changing the brakes around 30,000 miles ago. Its a 4 cylinder compared to the 6 cylinder Scotty just reviewed.
6 cylinder is great too
That's funny, I've been driving my 2011 Chrysler 200 (4 cylinder) for about 100,000 miles with no major problems!
100k miles isnt much miles
@@SVTPalacios up to 131,000 now!
I like your comments about buying a Camry, I bought a brand new Camry se 4 cylinder in 2011 has over 186,000 miles on it, even hit a deer at 95,000 miles insurance fixed it. And it is still running strong
Isn't that the same V6 that's in the Charger you said wasn't so bad?
Scotty. I picked up an 04 Toyota solara for 3grand with only 100,000 miles to drive to/from work. Thing is absolutely amazing. Thank you
"It does start right up I'll give em' that!" 😂😂
I worked for a dealership chain that sold Toyota’s and Chrysler’s in North Dakota. For credit challenged customers, it was easier for them to get approved for a new Dodge/Chrysler than it was a Toyota. Toyota Financial Services wouldn’t (and probably still doesn’t) entertain many subprime deals.
On the other hand, banks like Capital One and Santander prefer Toyota’s over Chrysler’s on their subprime deals but the huge rebates on Chrysler’s make them easier to get approved.
Lol $2000? I wonder where scotty be finding these cars at!! Ill pay $2000 for that chrysler 200 lol
I'm driving the 200's direct ancestor, the Sebring. It's got over 200,000 miles on it, and outside of some early electrical problems, has served pretty well. Sometimes you get lucky. :-)
19 years, and 300,000 miles looks like my Chrysler just keeps going.
I have Grand Voyager 2001 with 2.5 CRD engine with 205k miles on it and still runs very good!
I own a 2013 Chrysler 200 so I was real interested in what Scotty had to say about this one. It's hard to take this guy seriously when I have 115k miles on mine and it runs, shifts, and drives great. There is one issue without a doubt with these 3.6 Pentastar engines from around that time though. I've seen hundreds of these engines come into the shop for for coolant leaks due to a crap design oil cooler. My 200 was no exception. Had to replace it at 99k miles. Chysler definitely should have put out a recall on it. Other than that....its been a great car with plenty of power. I do not recommend the 4 cylinder version though.
Chrysler and Nissan just don't make anything I would buy.
Bought a new 2015 Grand Caravan and at 7500 kilometres, yes 7500 km. Chrysler put a new engine in it under warranty. They convinced me then to never buy Chrysler again as the brand new engine was backfiring and running very rough but at least it wasn't ticking and knocking and stalling like the original engine was! Replaced it with a new Kia Soul one week later and it has been perfect, not one single problem. Chrysler..the Trabant of America.
Last time I was this early, Chrysler was still known for their good quality.
When was that? Mid 60s to mid 70s ???
The sedans are Bentley rip offs
Lmfao since when?? Literally every Chrysler product I heard of even the Hellcats have issues.
Boy you were an afterthought in your dads sack when that was happening you’re trying too hard for likes lmfao
Yah, I bought that Camry! 2015 Monrony says $26,000, but here's the kicker: I bought it as a lease turn in for $16,000 with only 14,000 miles on it. It was spotless! Let's see if I can make it last 20 years.
When is Scotty going to cover Toyota gas pedal problems. Oooops
Oh here we go!! I love it. Let's go!!
Most of the problem with the Toyota was that the people would bunch the floor mat up under the gas pedal, then when the driver would press the pedal down hard the pedal would get caught on the floor mat and would stay there when you would lift your foot up. Easy problem to solve, 1. Hook your toe under the gas pedal and lift it up. 2. Turn the key off, pull to the side of the road and straighten the floor mat! OR you could just remove the floor mat all together. About 50 years ago I had a similar experience when the throttle return spring broke on the truck I was driving, instant wide open throttle. I just reached out and turned the key off, opened up the hood, found the problem, bent the spring to form a new end and was on my way in about 10 minutes.
@@brucejones2354 yeah. 50 years ago you could look under the hood of a car, see something broken and fix it. Forget about it today's 4 wheeled computers.
steve Bradley How did you go about repairing them?
In almost all cases it had nothing to do with engine controls themselves, but because the carpet would get trapped under the pedal. So they used different fasteners to fix it.
My friend had a 2012 200 & had 0 problems with it. Just routine maintenance. Had over 100,000 miles on it when he got rid of it to get a newer car.
I'm shocked
My dad and mom both had 2014 200s, both used. My dads car doesn’t have any mechanical problems, the interior is falling apart for him. He just know how to work on cars pretty decently, so that’s probably the reason why its still lasting. My moms got rid of hers last year, but hers had all the mechanical problems. I mean they were both fun to drive, but definitely would not recommend anyone to actually own them. If you take care of your car it’ll take care of you
in the 1960s this guy was called John Lennon!
But the real Lennon owned a Chrysler Town & Country station wagon
I buy Chrysler because my dad worked on the Chrysler factory line for 20yrs and made a decent living that could provide for his family and put two kids through college. So I support Chrysler ❤❤❤
Guys just stop saying 1st 😂
First.
@@172-e5s They probably even do that in bed.
Primo.
It's too funny.
My dad has a 2008 sebring with 150k miles on it. No issues with. I got a 2016 200 with 40k miles. No issues
@3:33...."it's got a reasonably big trunk, its comfy inside." A comfy trunk??🤔
Sounds like someone describing Kim Kardashian
@@mrgarrison3516 haaaaaaaaa!!!! Well played sir!
Scotty does have a tendency to crawl into the trunks of cars
@@kickerbeat Very true!
I wouldn't be surprised if Scotty's trunk fetish leads to him actually sleeping in customers desirable car trunks 😬
I got a Chrysler 200 as a rental car back when I knew nothing about cars. Even then I knew these cards were a piece of junk. It took a full second for the engine to react to the gas pedal
Chrysler is always hated here, even though they been doing much better statically, even reliability last few years.
They all hate them because there old
Lmao, nah
Scotty I have a 2013 Toyota Camry Le with 61k on it . I drive 40k miles a year . When should I clean the throttle body and fuel injectors ? The Toyota dealer is recommending I do it .
Its a chrysler its junk!, lets fire it up... right away, ac blows cold, good pickup , excellent interior... Im buying Scotty!.
Geo/Chevy Metros were NOT made overseas. They were made in Canada with engines designed by Suzuki and made in Canada. I have a 99 3 cyl with 260,000 miles with at least 150,000 more to go with the same engine. Just make sure you change the Trans oil in the 5 speed every 10,000 miles. Not hard to do. I know a fellow who has a metro 3 cyl in his kit plane. He flies it around all the time at 4,000 rpms. Yes, you can still buy parts for them.
Last time i was this early for a video, Scotty was still a young mechanic
Had a 200 for a rental.
It was fun flooring the gas petal. 2 or 3 seconds later, the transmission would kick into gear. Then I'd immediately let off the gas. Car would shake not knowing what to do. 💩
Hey paints held up well.. spent most of its life at the mechanics inside.. instead of the open road 😂
“Look at that steering wheel, it’s wobbling all over the place” 😂🤣😂
Good evening Scotty
evening!
Bought my son a Dodge Intrepid about 18 years ago and the engine blew well under 100K miles. Even the junk yards would not pay anything for that car because they were full of Intrepids with blown engines. Basically scrap value. I will never buy a Chrysler product again.
Must have been the 2.7 L engine. If you didn’t change the oil, those engines would fail. The 3.5 L I had went 280,000 miles. Still running but needed too much maintenance to warrant spending the money.
I am pretty sure it was the 3.5 and the oil was changed per the maintenance schedule. If you got that many miles out of it, you are lucky.
What’s the best car for a teen Scotty?
toyota corolla
@@scottykilmer HAHAHAHA! That was gonna be my reply, beat me to the punch!
A teen Scotty? Now there’s a scary thought.
I’m telling you if your kid is somebody freshly out of high school or maybe a year or two and 1819 or 20-year-old and they have a job they can probably get a brand new Chrysler products or Jeep product. Or zero money down and establish for themselves credit history
Dare Toyota to be able to even match that they can’t and they won’t!!!!!
Honest to God
@@steelisthemeal
You're better off getting a credit card rather than financing a jeep or a Chrysler.
Coming from a guy that owns a 160k chrysler 200 and has replaced the radiator struts sway bar links air conditioner heater core thermostat twice. This is a terrible car. Waiting until the 2019 avalon gets cheaper then i will personally see to its scraping
Sorry there's more wheel bearings, trans cooling lines, blower motor etc
I am amazed it made it to 160k
Emagine if they made a 100🤣
They almost did. Originally FCA planned on selling the Fiat 500 in the USA under the Chrysler nameplate calling it the "100". 😂
I often wonder if they name their cars on the estimated monthly repair costs.
It would've been Chrysler's version of the Dart considering the 200 is an Avenger and the 300 is a Charger
You get a pair of them when your 200 breaks in half.
My 2009 Charger is a great car, very few problems over 11 years. Seriously, let see some spring for steering wheel that controlled the traction control.. A new dipstick for oil, as original was stuck hard in hole. Noting else comes to mind. The seat plastic on drivers seat is broken doesn't affect the seat as far as I can tell. I'm surprised how reliable it is.
ihad 2013 v6 changed iol every 5000 miles n tranmission drain n fill every 50,000 miles n have 240,564 miles on engine n trans maintence is key
I made the mistake of buying a new Chrysler, years ago when I was dumb. Never .... ever .... again. It imploded before 40,000 miles. No help at all from the company.
Not everybody wants a camery scotty (insert laughing horse pic) lol
I don’t know because you can get this car for really cheap now, and if you keep up with the maintenance, they can last more than 200,000 miles. It’s a good cheap car if you need it for work or your a parent. I bought one for $2,000 used at a dealership with 100,000 miles and it never gave me any problems. It’s not sitting at 150,000
The main problem with the 3.6 was bad heads. The casting in the heads are faulty and you’ll get a cylinder ... misfire code, which indicates you need a new head. They also have a little net/filter in the head that the oil goes through which clogs up and ruins the cams.
