I have been telling the E.V.Avangelists that when the batteries are worn out, you will be lucky to find replacements and somebody who will do the job for a sensible price. Which means most e.v. cars will be write offs at year 12.
@@MrChriss000 You mean if they don't catch on fire and explode first, right?
Hey Scotty random question . Old 1995 obs 7.3 to many to cold days and trying to start the truck, batteries are alittle low . To trickle charge do I have to disconnect from the engine ? And if not will it charge both batteries ? Thanks
Youch! If the prices are going down then so should the insurance! I just got my car insurance bill and it skyracketeered 30% over last year for the same coverage 😳💲💲💲💰💰💸💸
Wait until you see the 25 Forester ❤️❤️
Fun fact- CarMax was born from the finance side of Circuit City, the electronics store is long gone but the car financing business is still booming. People love debt.
True,and the rest of us that live within our means end up paying for their financial incompetence.

I bought my dream car from Car Max back in 2021. I did all my research about the car, including a comment from Scotty himself. It was a fair price for a low 8,300 mileage sport car with all the bells and whistles. The purchase was a breeze and they had handed over the keys to my new car with a giant bow on top. I'm quite satisfied with Car Max. It was a wonderful experience I'll never forget.
I bought a car from Carmax in 2015 and got a decent deal for a 1yr old used car at the time 20% off msrp.
But nowadays everything they sell is REALLY overpriced.
Im suprized they didnt low ball you at the in-store inpection after offering a high price on line. You must be a manger there at carmax trying to make them look good
I bought a brand new Subaru Outback for 28k in 2020. The next year it had 10,000 miles on it as was worth 34k when the car market went crazy. I sold it and used the 6k to buy a 2006 5 speed manual Outback. I’ve been patiently waiting for the market to correct itself and bottom out before I upgrade. I saved 600 for 3 years
well done, i lack the patience. had a chance to do the same thing, but i am a sucker for nicer, newer cars. well done you though for not falling for the trend or traps
Still goin with an Outback? I’m waiting for the same but can’t decide if I want a 2017-2019 3.6r or the newer 4 cylinder turbo xt models. Any opinions?
@@ninerknight5351I’m going to get a 4Runner or Tundra
@@ninerknight5351- Not a fan of turbos on small motors. Turbos are fine & fun on V8 engines. But on 4 cylinders, turbos make the tiny motor work harder than it’s suppose to. Not a good combo. Plus, most turbos are some type of plastic.
@ninerknight5351 I just bought a 2018 Tundra
I have a long-ago-paid-off 2007 Toyota Matrix and 2002 Camry.. both run fine, just wear & tear maintenance.. over 270k miles on each of them 👌😆

So why is ford and chevy still in business?
@@cactneirblind brand loyalty from some customers and government bailouts in the past. Just an observation.
@@cactneir living off past glory and the hard workof those that built their companies. If they continue to go in the direction they're going, they won't be in business 100 years from now. Toyota already sales twice as many vehicles worldwide as GM.

Hey Scotty, living in Sacramento, CA driving a 07' 5-speed Toyota Corolla as a commuter and a 13' Toyota 4Runner for occasional haling, towing, off-roading and camping trips. I saw a Rivan truck the other day being put on a tow truck and couldn't help but laugh as I drove past in my $2,000 corolla with 230,000 miles. Vast majority of people in California still drive normal ICE vehicles and that's not changing here anytime soon. Thanks for the amazing content, been watching every day for years!
Carmax gives you a certain number of days from the moment of sale for them to fix anything wrong with the car. AFter you buy it, take it to a mechanic for a full diagnosis, and then bring it back to carmax. They will fix everything for free, no questions asked.
I bought a Camaro once and brought it back 20 days later and got a Fuel pump, a purge valve, 2 window regulators and a new third brake light for free with no hassle
What about Carvana?
They were just in the news for selling stolen cars. Avoid them at all costs.@@dg7438
@@dg7438 Worst on the market. Do not touch them.
That's not true. I took my car back to Car Max to fix the problem. Got it back the same. I'm not asking twice.Its going back
Can't get enough of your videos Scotty. Eucational, entertaining and just too good all at the same time. Thank You, F.R. Schertz, TX
Greetings from the eastside of San Antonio I’ve been watching Scotty’s videos for 3 years and I’ve learned a lot
Scotty, I'm totally with you on those cameras! Glad they got rid of them here in Texas 🎉
I was saddened thinking he was gone! I'm happy you're ok u have been there helping me through the years and we appreciate you! I'm glad you're alive to say thank you!!!
Me too!
Europe has many cites and villages built around roads going back to horse and buggy days. So there are many narrow roads and small cars are more practical there. In WWII German prisoners of war brought to this county were amazed because when they traveled by train it took days to get across our county.
You nailed on the head by saying speed and red light cameras are just another tax.
I wouldn't even go that far. It's another way of them stealing.
Trucker here. Went to CA, EV’s everywhere. Get to Oregon today and within 10 miles in state see an ev. Oh, this one was in the fog, so they had lights on ,heat on, Fog lights on . Just shaking my head saying “don’t run out of juice, D A!,.. uphill too!
They want cleaner air.

Just purchased a new Toyota Camry SE and I plan on driving it til I go to meet my Maker.
I got an 07 Pontiac G6 GTP and 06 Kia Rio base. Paid cash for both. The Kia Rio got a good deal on it had only 57k an paid $400 for it. I'm holding on to them for a good while before I go out an buy another car n

That's true. THe only way to beat depreciation is to hold on to your car for a long time.
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.❤️
it's obvious.
a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance, it's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to stay poor
I agree but finding a professional for guidance ain't as easy as it sounds. cause I've been searching for one
Well I must say people are scared because there are so many unprofessional brokers out there.
I think I'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Marie wood
YES! that's exactly her name (Marie Wood ) | watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her
she is an expert and I'm just starting with her from Ontario Canada🇨🇦.
Got another one about license plate scanners and computers. A few years ago a toll bridge in Vancouver B.C. used license plate scanners and tolls were sent to registered owners. I live a 5 hour drive away from that bridge and my neighbour got a toll notice for his car which was in the garage here in the same town 5 hours away from that bridge.
I just checked their site. I don't see any savings at all on Camrys. They are as high or higher than anyone else.
Kudos to whomever does your video production. Your spicy commentary & the memes, graphics, etc. are a legendary combo, sir.
Carmax has always priced their cars above average price and now even higher. Where did you get the 50% less?
Referring to cooling economy and EVs. Realistically they may lose out on vehicles bought before the cooling down. But after that they will be paying lower prices to trade ins.
As a semi truck driver, red light cameras are beyond the worst.
Traffic lights are already setup for non commercial vehicles. They do not account for a 80,000lbs vehicle.
So when it turns yellow and we are passed the point of safe stop, we DO NOT STOP.
It is dangerous for 80,000lbs vehicles to stop abruptly.
Hence they always tell us to act like a stale green light is changing at anytime... Yet you can slow down all you want, it is still unsafe to slow down for a green, let alone slam on the brakes for a yellow.
You are awesome. You feel the pulse exactly of what's going on in the car world. Just subscribed!
I have a 96 Cutlass Ciera and 92 Gmc Suburban.

That fact about cars going for more than they were worth was true for all cars during the pandemic, not just electric cars. Carmax also has 0 Cybertucks for sale nationwide right now.
BEWARE of these Car Max cars. You can bet their inventory is bound to be filled with lemons.
they do not check for any issues on the cars... i know....
Exactly my sister in law buy a 2016 dodge Durango n it’s had 68,000 miles on it. Now last month the transmission went out! It’s still sitting some auto repair shop til this day !
My mom bought a BMW z4 with electric power steering problems so she returned asap to car max.
Yeah, just sold a car to them with a transaxle that needed to be replaced, can’t turn the wheel more than 180° from center. Wasn’t anywhere in the online quote to enter in that info, so we marked it as “other major issue”. When we brought it there, they didn’t even ask about it and gave us the money… felt bad, but we tried to tell them, they just didn’t ask us for more specifics
@Flufficatfish thats insane. I guess as long as it is not safetied the liability is off them. Crazy
EV's are just glorified Golf Carts.
In 2023 I sold my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Sport, 6 cyl. 2 wd, with 236,000 miles on it for $2,500. Scotty is exactly right about depreciation. As I recall I bought that car new for $24,500 so, it had lost a whopping 90% of its value when I sold it.
That’s 22 years mate
Used to like Carmax many years ago. Their cars were cheaper than many dealers and you knew exactly what the cost was going to be. They no longer have any competitive advantage.

In Sac CA I bought a used 2016 Prius in Jan 2020 before the pandemic shut everything down. It had 94k on the clock, but was a single owner, meticulously maintained. I bought it from the dealership that originally sold it for $17k. Gas was about $3 per gallon then in CA. During the pandemic gas prices went down and the value of my Prius went down. But post-pandemic gas prices skyrocketed and remain high in CA, which has boosted the value of cars like the Prius. I put about 20k miles on the Prius and sold it last month for $15.5k to a private buyer, only $1.5k less than I paid for it 4 years and 20k miles ago.
That has everything to do with the dollar having less buying power than it did a few years ago and nothing to do with gas prices.
@@eggsinsideme In CA it has to do with gasoline prices. We pay $1 per gallon more here on average and 53-mpg Priuses are worth more.
@@andrewbird57 I’ve lived in California and all across the country. Cars are cheaper in California. More inventory and competition than most elsewhere.

EVs are a silly fantasy. Well said, Scotty.
Agreed.
@@andyblank4157 Thank you.
EVs aren’t perfect for every application, but they are exceptional for many. My wife drove 22000 miles in the 12 months after buying our EV; we saved $1800 in fuel over our 35mpg Camry in that time, and the car is fun to drive with a ton of options for about the same price as the same year Camry with fewer options.
Calling them a silly fantasy is, well, silly.
@@jesse5235just do not think you are saving the environment or reducing carbon emissions by buying one, owning one or driving it. That is a mistake. Nice car?
Save 400 a month in gas with my ev and every time I drive friends and family around they smile, the acceleration never gets old.
Here's another problem, what are they going to do about all of the batteries that came along with those unwanted EVs??
We made the decision to keep our 08 Versa....$1600 in welding, $200 for a windshield, and probably another $1000 to get the brakes done for the safety sticker. We know the car, so why would we buy another used car, or waste money buying new. See you in 5 years to see how it turns out. :)
Man I saw a Facebook post. I thought this man was dead 😂was coming to give my condolences
My boyfriend said the same thing and I started crying 😩😩 until I came to fact check lmao
EVERYONE, Scotty is still with us.
I watch Scotty every day. So knowledgeable so entertaining. Great presentations. AND no, I did not know the circuit city back story. Wow.
Those cars came from Florida after the flood,,,,, these cars are flooded cars ,,, because it's legal to sale the car 🚗 in another state legally...

scotty killer always just keeping it real. love you man. just honest, no nonsense information being delivered. thank you killer!
I remember those small Toyota's. We used to laugh at them on the way to school. The shift level was sticking straight out from the center of the dashboard.
PGE raise price in CA to 72 cents per KW on peak hours, that's the same price as gas to charge that stupid thing and as soon as the warranty is gone on them EV their car price cut in half
We knew this would happen!
Drove a rented Model Y from CA to TX and back. Wonderful, smooth experience. But since gas is so much cheaper outside CA and Supercharger prices (30-40cents) was same as home electric, I calculated my cost per mile savings at 1-1/2 cpm MORE than if I had taken my V6 Mercedes (which I have done many times.). The Model Y made it a great trip but I think the fuel cost savings of the past is over. If electric mandates ever become reality, “they” will have you by the groin!
…cost per mile expense, not savings lol
The former circus city by my home in Roseville, Ca was replaced by Fry’s Electronics, then Echo Park which is equivalent to Carmax, no negotiation no haggle!
When in Hawaii last year…Couldn’t Believe the number of Teslas For Sale At car Lots All over there…
Finding parts will cost more to get them to Hawaii
I would think that one thing about them in Hawaii is the climate
is easier on the battery. Wouldn't suffer from the drop in life from cold weather sapping it's charge. Maybe?
They are trade in for the new model.
Scotty do a video on the new cheap toyota truck
That would be awesome! 💯 He would have to go off of internet information though because he wouldn’t be able to get access to one in the United States, at least not yet.🤷🏼♂️
As a Californian, the reason why ev sales are falling because the only people that buy them are wealthy high earners, working class people like me get gasoline cars for multiple purposes like taking kids to school, going to work, grocery shopping, doing laundry, for traveling trips to the desert, snow and beach. Plus we have a lot of good mechanics to keep fixing old cars.
"The canary is starting to pass out." 😆😆
scotty, you said you couldn't believe they were still in business the other day. that made my ears prick up. this is a klaxxon call!
I work in Santa Barbara California and what are they building next to my work I gas station called fuel Depot why are they building a gas station? If they’re gonna get rid of all the gas stations these people lie all the time don’t believe them.
Animation Domination !
Love it 👍
Funny about the speed cameras. There was one here in Killeen, TX for years. It caused more accidents because people would literally slam their brakes. Sooooo freaking true 😂 My friend got a ticket when it turned yellow while he was still in the intersection! It was definitely a bad thing lol
I wouldn't take an EV for free.
Take it and sell it to CarMax.
I would. Sell it for a deep discount to unload it fast. Then look for a half ways decent '98 and up Crown Vic, Marquis, or Linc TC. Hard to beat for a simple, durable, safe car that is almost certain to pass 300K miles w very little trouble. Unlike Camry and older Lexus, can be found fairly cheap due to many thinking they are not cool enough, or only 'old peoples cars' lol.
Police & taxi use proved they're safe & dependable. I'd even go as far back as the first gen of downsized ones from 1979-87 but their old age means not many nice ones around. I still see a few good running early and mid 90's examples, still looking good after 30 + years. Future special interest cars!
Do a story on NIO and their battery swapping technology.
You know Scotty is attracting young viewers when he has to explain the canary in the coal mine analogy!
😂. Love that last comment Scotty. The canary is starting to pass out- 😂😂
Australia is the WORST for all these revenue cameras. Hidden, the lot.
Every state here is like a junkie on the $$$.
Scotty still posting consistently keep it up
I wouldn't do it because there's an increasing number of cases buying cars from one of these places that turn out to be stolen, police confiscate the property, and that the money is a civil matter.
I hate to say it, but my family had great experiences with Carmax. My brother got his Ford F150 from them back in 2013 and still drives it. My sister-in-law got her Nissan Pathfinder from them in 2015 and still drives it. I had a seven-year-old Acadia from them that ran great. Butttt My new Toyota four runner runs better.

???!
I didn't get it, neither 😕
I saw that too and its a prank 😅
Scotty, CarMax has some good finds. It's the buyer's responsibility to choose. Since CarMax has so many different cars, you can find a nice car at a fair price if you do your homework. I bought a car for 18k that originally sold for 67k. The car has 37 thousand miles. I got a warranty for 2 thousand and the warranty is for 60 months or up to 75,000 miles. I have used CarMax warranties several times with no problems. In addition, CarMax gives you 30 days to change your mind and bring the car back. I have done it. If you don't believe me, I will bring my latest car on your channel and you can scan it. The car is damn near perfect. I have no affiliation with CarMax. I agree with you about those ridiculous electric cars. Fossil fuels are obviously better than batteries in every sense.
I have 4 cars. And only financing 1. A 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe. I personally think Plug in hybrid tech is the way to go. My wife and I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla. But thank God we didn't. Plug in hybrid. Best of both worlds.
Carmax is SHOCKING THE INDUSTRY!
Yeah with their silly prices..... lol they are smoking crack and only morons are buying cars right now😊
A speed camera intersection, Green means GO, Yellow means STOP, Red means STOP.
Carmax prices is still high,I almost bought Toyota Camry 2018 with 30k miles amounting to $23,800 this month while a new Toyota Camry 2024 AWD with less than 1000 miles $31,700
the combustion engine vs electric cars conundrum is reminiscent of the dawn of quartz watches in the mechanical watch era. disposable and unrepairable for similar reasons.
True, but in the end, all a watch has to do is keep time. I’ve worn Casio Calculator watches for 45 years. Still a fraction of dollars spent compared to a quality mechanical watch.
Thank you Scotty! I love when you rip on EV’s! 😂😂😂
“So, do red-light cameras reduce violations, and more importantly, crashes? The simple answer is yes. IIHS studies found that the introduction of red-light cameras reduced violations by about 40 percent. The institute also found that when comparing large cities with the cameras to those without, the cameras reduced red-light-running crash fatalities by 21 percent”
I was happy to get rid of my EV. I hated the Range Anxiety.
Perhaps more details would help your comment make sense. Was the EV an 80 mile compliance car and you live outside a city? In CA, even the lowly Leaf was suitable and even enjoyed by many EV early adaptors.
Trying to move too quickly to fully electric - Hybrids are the better option, and probably will be for quite some time longer during this transition to full-electric.
Well Said! Human nature is to want the new shiny thing and in America you can be rich and dumb as rocks at the same time!! Lol
What these automobile manufacturers do not seem to understand is half of our planet is still developing and the life's blood of that development is gasoline! I mean some farmers in the developing part of the world still us animals to plow their fields! The car makers are essentially cutting the choices for these people down to zero.
Yeah everyone is trying to '1-up' each other and going straight to EV and skipping Hybrids.
If you sell a car yourself you will have to sell it for less money than what a dealer is asking BUT you will still get more money then trading it in or selling to CarMax.
good luck selling a 60k car
@@TheUnofficialMaker I don't hang out in the 60k market but swim in the 10-35k waters.
Up here in the Chicagoland area there's carmax's all over the place I work for electrician supply company and I've been delivering to him they're putting up new ones
I just bought a 21 Scatpack Challenger from CarMax for 39 with only 25k miles! It’s manual too
That cyber truck reminds me of the VW Thing. Buyers thought they'd be cool, but... not.
Great videos! If cars had front and rear cameras... they would catch all the A holes on the road and be sent to insurance for rates to go up! Million dollar idea? 💡 Then we wouldn't need traffic cameras. 🤷
I never thought I’d hear Iowa out of Scotty’s mouth 😆
I really got a charge out of this video!
Scotty tells you always the truth not the politicians…
They also won’t outlaw camera tickets in Illinois for the same reason
Love the picture with the dog driving Scotty.
I understand that the sale of new ICE vehicles will be illegal in California in the future like 2035... It's a big market that will be replacing ICE vehicles with some alternative say electric, hydrogen, etc...
Not going to happen
A Wealth of information again. Thanks Scotty
Scotty, I currently have a 2015 Lexus RX 350 with 112K miles. I am currently renting a 2021 Nissan Titan S gas engine with 50K miles. I am considering buying this truck I am renting but am concerned about reliability. I have always bought Lexus in the past, due to their reliability and their minuscule cost of maintenance. How does the Titan compare in these regards?
Im hoping for a zero Gavin Nuisance by 2025.
I’m trying to save money to buy a new to me used car I currently have a 2001 Toyota echo with 241,035 miles I want to get an suv or a large vehicle with good gas mileage what would you guys recommend?

What about hybrids?
Scotty! Thank you for your work. I will push back on the cameras. As an American living in Europe and yes I love the smallness of cars, roads, villages, parking etc...and having the experience of learning how to drive on the autoroutes there was very instructive. They warn you when a surveillance zone is coming up so you can observe your speed. If not well its on you... Ultimately it does a few things, teaches people in general to be more aware and thus they will slow down overall on the autoroutes. Second, everyone abides by the "passing lane" rule. Use it to move ahead and get back! Merde! and lastly, it frees up the peace officers to attend to matters of greater importance. I am Tried and true red, white and blue through and through and love my freedom, and this just is a non issue for me who owns an M car! Love your show and your work has helped me narrow down a Toyota Tundra!!

All electric cars don't sound feasible. Hybrids do though. The energy is reclaimed by the batteries when you brake. And you use smaller gas engines and use the electric to give you a boost when you need it.
I just looked on their website in my area and I don't see them being anywhere close to 1/2 price. If anything, they are still badly overpriced.
Some towns and cities in New York have been proactive and pulled the speed cameras that they had used. They found that they just were not worth it. The cameras used on the New York State Thruway on the other hand are for charging the tolls and making certain that people get the bill if either they do not have an E-ZPass at all or have it mounted incorrectly in their cars. When the E-ZPass was only for the minority of drivers though we were required to slow to 10 miles per hour when passing through the dedicated lane. I got a warning letter from Albany for going 20 when I had actually come to a complete stop in the regular lane due the dedicated lane being out of order. Now that the booths are gone the recommendation is to slow to 40 in the interchange areas, but no one actually does except for conservative drivers like myself.
Remember when Elon Musk had a cameo in Total Recall? He played the Johnny cab driver and was driving Ahhnold around in a Tesla cyber truck on Mars 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

So spot on!
Is there a more stupid-looking vehicle than a Cybertruck? That "truck" is 14 feet of solid ugly.
Tucker 48 keeps going up in value - one sold for $2.9 million in 2013!
I hope those K Cars are not Killers like Chrysler used to make.
People especially TH-camrs keep knocking on CarMax. I always had good encounter with them. Sold my 2020 E convertible and 10 days later, it listed on CarMax for 1000$ more than they paid me; and looking to buy a Miata and CarMax has it right on the average priced by KBB. TH-camrs like to knock on them by showing used Toyota SUVs selling near new car price. However what they don't say is dealers are selling them at same or higher price. Market dictates what the price is.
Those Tesla owners were dumb enough to buy those trucks in the first place.
