Classic and Clunker: which one will you be driving?
Not all cars will be classics. Some could end up clunkers. I should know, I’ve owned a few
Other cars will be ignored by most, when they should be snapped up and celebrated.
This a unique buyer’s guide to the best and worst in used cars - old and kinda new.
So whether you need to buy a used car as your first set of wheels, you need basic transport, or you want to experience a different and affordable driving experience, hopefully you’ll find inspiration here.
Happy buying - and driving.

I just picked up a 86 mighty boy, looking forward to your video! Im clueless on mine lol th-cam.com/video/1eJ5o9CnNZI/w-d-xo.html
@@Waybeforethefame great to see the Kei love in the states - you have a great fleet
Love mine
Alan Jones? Shouldn't you be in court?
@@bluebird8004 hahaha that gave me a chuckle..
Legal for what 5 or 6 tonne max. So 14 tonnes is rediculous. There is NO excuse for this stupidity. I hope they take his licence and the rental company WILL be asking for a LOT of money. That chassis is bent
Hmmmm, it was a rental, it was like that already, insurance covers it : 😕😞
There was a dacota on a WW2 GMC truck chassis in Brisbane decades ago . I wonder if its the same?
@@Mercmad I'm not sure - this had International mud flaps, so perhaps it's on that platform?
i miss my 86 Suzuki MightyBoy
The dead bugs... 😅
@@_SGTM_ my co-pilot, always keeping watch
Where did you bought the horn pad?
@@KcContado-tn7zm I bought it on eBay from a wrecked car
What year is your mighty boy
@@debbright8915 it's 1986
No screws, the clip wraps around and holds its self to the black plastic part of the handle. Looks like your clip has broken.
@@general-9579 yes indeed, but a couple of screws fixed it
I would get some work on it.
A year oil change? Poor nugg, give it some love. For that heater line, put a loop hose on it instead of those bungs, it'll last longer.
@@Retro-Iron11 well it only hits the road maybe 10 times a year, so the oil doesn't see much action - but yes, it would degrade over time. Yeah I've had another car with a loop hose - but I'm wondering if there's a metal alternative...
@@classicandclunker Ooh, a metal alternative. That would still require joiners, twice as many, so even more points of potential leaking and the metal part would be extremely a fluke fit or custom.
Good old mazda, top tier pricing as usual. You can get a model Y for significantly cheaper and let's face it, these are just grocery getters and school drop off vehicles, can't fit anything of significance in the "boot", never to leave the city lines. That end one, eww yuck. Is that trying to be a porsche cayenne?
Missing mine even more seeing Yours is still running well
@@stevenewman3185 yes it's going well for 320,000 kms
Ford pos not worth it
I wouldn’t own one I not like at all I did test drive on all of them
Bet they drove like a slug with ultra conservative throttle response.
I've noticed that you have another car in your garage. Is it Fiat 126p by any chance?
@@dawidwozny6038 yes, it sure is - you'll find other videos about it on the channel
I wouldn't have payed that much if that were me I would have payed a lot less
@@samtucker1298 ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about rhubarb
How Australia manages to get these wonderful vehicles we never seem to get.
@@ralphbuschman3364 Probably something to do with the Mighty Boy being a "commercial" import here.. otherwise it might not have been approved. Australia and Cyprus were the only export markets for the SS40T
I may have just found a replacement to buy rather than a Honda Z.
I think he over payed if im to be completetly honest
Yes it is factory form Toyota
@@bigtimmy1133 see, I KNEW you would have the answer! It was pretty decent for high KMs..
Well built cars back then…these cars now are not worth the money
You aren't wrong in any way... I am perhaps a little jaded. I hope this taught you to be respectful and understanding of healthcare workers who deal with this sort of thing every day. Our attitude to driving in Australia is rivalled only by our asinine obsession with sports. It is what it is, it won't change in my lifetime. It's not hard to drive defensively, but I am the only one I see doing it (in Brisbane and Ipswich). Everyone tailgates, people barely pay attention and no-one has any patience. The most frustratingly common are the absolute wankers who do 90 in 80 zones and 90 in 100 zones... I seriously wish great harm on these people. I frequently find myself passing people who 2 minutes ago aggressively and dangerously changed lanes or cut someone else off. This is MOST people, the outliers are the people who drive at the speed limit (that means 100 in the 100 zone and 80 in the 80 zone and 40 in the 40 zone), between driving and dealing with the public in Brisbane, it is so hard not to have an extremely poor impression. Most trained dogs are better behaved than most adult Brisbanites... probably freer thinkers too.
@@user-um2uf9zq4c I agree with a lot of what you say. Many cars I drive don't have ABS, so I keep my distance from the car in front.. and often someone merges in front of me. Oh well, just got to adjust spacing.. I do wonder whether people think ABS means they can tailgate. One thing to consider: I once bought a new VW group car (in the 90s, pre GPS speed measurement) and wondered why everyone passed me on the highway. After getting an RACQ Master Check before the warranty ran out, I was told my Speedo was nearly 10% under the actual speed. From then, I did an indicated 109 in 100 zones. Perhaps the 90km/h drivers think they're doing 100? Doesn't excuse 90 in the 80 zone.
Thanks for sharing this, Its all too easy to make a simple mistake on the roads that has disproportionately negative consequences. You mentioned he was just down the street from home and had probably navigated that junction thousands of times without any issue, do you think complacency might have played a role in this crash?
@@FiestyFez Thanks for your comment.. complacency could have been a factor, plus I think he was in a rush and didn't want to be stuck behind my car
I can’t find this part anywhere except Toyota spares and it’s $55 + &40 shipping if you could find the part anywhere else can you plz write back
@@FancyIsAPro well I found the part on Amayama, but I'm pretty sure it cost about the same as you've been quoted
Great little yolk , you should slightly bend the top of the door inwards so it seals properly . 👍
@@JohnOBrien-v5z thanks.. yes I noticed it doesn't seal as well as the other ones I've owned
We learnt nothing here......
@@MrSwaggaMatic you need to learn to look for the added words "how to" if you want a guide......
@@classicandclunker what was the point of watching then. The bumper was literally removed ...why skip the process?! 🙃
@@MrSwaggaMatic it was for subs who want to keep up with the fleet - when I bought the car it had a big dent in the front bumper. "Before and after", basically. There's already vids on YT on how to replace it for the J31, although I mainly relied on a written guide from Googling it
Great to see, thanks for sharing, gear shift rubber boot 👢 👍
@@davidbarber5657 yeah I could do with a new gearshift boot, but not that worried about it.. I'm watching one on eBay

Hi! Which product did you use inside the water using the sponge to remove the sticky- yellow material from it? Any suggestions?

Please will you help direct me on my megane cabriolet, your video advising on how to change the regulator Will you please leave in the comments where to buy the regulators or the code
The only place I could find the Megane regulator was at a wrecker in Europe - they are not easily found, and the part is different to the other Meganes of the time. Sorry I don't recall the code, I just searched the same year Megane convertibles being dismantled - good luck with your search!
Hello there
Where to buy
I'm in love those look like fourdoor foxbodys and that ranchero
Which mechanic are you using for the x90?
I use Gerard from AutoDub. He's around Aspley but comes to my home
The motor is out of a Suzuki 800 hatch , Mighty Boys only came in 550 cc 3 cylinder ! I had on for years and i put the 800 cc 3 cylinder in too , same motor just bigger inside ! Then i worked out the Suzuki 1000 out of the swift fit and it had a 5 speed ! Was insane !
@@JosephCowen-fz8vj yes indeed, the F8B is a handy upgrade to the F5A. The even bigger engine would be interesting
@@classicandclunker I drove mine for years ! I wanted the Turbo 550 cc that came out in Japan
Wow so nice ❤ please can you do a long hard cold start? I love sound of cranking 😊
Ha, well that was the first start in weeks - it did pretty well
ITS TONY!
@@GamerBenYT But running on petrol, not vodka
Aww. :( fire edit tho. @dankpods should see this. AKA @garbagetime420
Smol car
I dont understand how to remove this
There are more detailed guides on the internet - but basically just loosen the roof rail at the back (behind the light) and then wriggle off the shade (screwdriver helps to release the central guides from the rail)
Looks good with the rear louvers on the back window.
