Too bad I'm moving out the city 😃
SCOTTY...... , NOW you are TOTALLY Agree with me about HONDA cars SAME in Reliability as TOYOTA
Do you recommend the 2021 Tahoe
I get 40 on a EG hatch. Thats reality. D1600 single cam non Vetc. So be it.
I wouldn't buy a ford v8 if you paid me. FE series or the M series or the triton. Give me a break.
It’s funny when he says salvage yard and a Chevy dealership image showed up
Salvage yard, junk yard, that's the cue for that Chevrolet dealership photo. Always. Haha
😂
True love of Chevy
I'd honestly put Chrysler there hahaha just my preference. But Chevy it is
Religously calls GM, Chevy, Fiat, Dodge, etc Junk. Lol

you forgot the Woof
And Scotty forgot about the Ford Fiesta.. Indestructible and cheap both to buy and maintain.
He doesn’t even mention the Corolla
@@RinrvUSA I had a Ford Fiesta that was a POS and it was brand new .
One of my cars is a Scion tC. It's 16 years old and zero problems.
I think Scotty should start a "Honest Mechanics Association" and bequeath certifications to members so customers know their mechanics are "Scotty-certified".
Best idea I've heard in a long time!
He's good but way to opinionated
Yeah he should do it and keep it exclusive
@@brentwendt2249 scottified
@@DylanL69 it's okay to have opinions. The honesty is what is important and what many value from Scotty. It's also what we want in mechanics!

@Eye Patch Guy what about nissan and mazda
@Eye Patch Guy yea what he said🤨👆🏾 ....but Nissan & Mazda from 90's are excluded....those still going strong if u took minimum proper care of em.
And the baby would be right!
great so when you haul your kids in your BMW your 2-year old says from the back what an endless money pit, should have got a Lexus....
If I were Scottie, I would rent a commercial yard or industrial zone to do this business to impact Neighbours the least, cos Scottie make so much money they he affords it without a sweat!!!!!
I have a 92 Camry with 190k miles. Bought it for $600. Girlfriend hates it which sucks for her since I’ll likely have it for another decade.
Wow!!! That is awesome Tyler ,wish i could find a steal like that here in El Salvador. Take care of that car you will have it until 300 thousand miles easy.I had a 1986 Toyota Camry poo poo brown fuckgly car from the outside and it was Diesel too😂but that car was a warrior ,no lie i had 684.... miles and the body was all rusted -didnt pass inspection anymore and had to get rid off.Engine and trans still perfect
You should not be driving 1990s car due to structural safety of the vehicle. Unless you are extremely low income, your safety is valuable.
@@Gstunfisk ok dude whatever you say. Go lease some new plastic garbage every two years so you and your poodle feel safe.
@@tynado1173 what’s wrong with a new V6 camry
Somehow Tyler, I think the car will outlast the girlfriend in your life.
I have a 2007 Scion; it's got about 82,000 miles on it, and it runs like a clock. It's very sporty and just wants to move... terrific little car-and you can't beat it for the price... not then and certainly not now. Thanks for confirming my preference for this vehicle.
I had a Scion TC for a couple years and absolutely loved it. Drove it for 125k miles without a single issue. Toyota quality 🤟🏽
Scotty, your teaching is beyond words. You have billions of students listening everyday.
God bless.
i'm not even car crazy but i still find his videos interesting, mainly with what cars/models are reliable or not
dunno about billions but i sure do love him
Million.
@DeadlyButSilent2 please take your negativity elsewhere, this is a car talk channel not an opinionated religious channel.
@DeadlyButSilent2 go outside
I tried activating Closed Captions and an error message popped up saying, “This host speaks body language” 😂
The Scion tC was a good car, most people where upset with the horsepower output from stock. But they’re fun little cars I had a 2007 and the only problem I had was a squeaking sound coming from the clutch which is a common problem but a little lubricating oil solved the issue. Only other problem was the plastic around radiator started to become fragile and break off easily but the car took a beating and still ran like a charm. Hopefully they remake them in the future with better options lol if they’re plan was to market to young people they need a car with a minimum 300 HP cause young people like me like to go fast all the time 😂
Hardest working man on TH-cam right here 🤜🤛
He will do this until the day he dies. ‘Retirement’ isn’t in Scotty’s vocabulary.
Bought a 2011 Honda Fit with 70,000 miles. It's an awesome car. Perfect for towing behind an RV.
“Salvage yard” *shows Chevy dealership* I’m dead
You new here?
I got a 2007 Scion tC and I absolutely love it!!! Got 124,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Just change the oil every 3-5 thousand miles and drive it no problems yet!!! Does alright in the snow to.

Scion TC was a great little daily driver. Lost it in a car crash when an 18 year old rear ended us...
Rip:(
Lost my 08 civic few months ago. 😭
Scotty did you know that mechanics everywhere are using your videos to diagnose stuff, true story !!!!
I did too
0:00 Honda Civic
6:40 Pontiac fiero
17:23 Scion tC
The Japanese knew how to put in that quality where it counts the most. The seats are cheap. Its overall just feels like an economy car. But those lil toy engines run until the cows come home. Engine and drive trains where built bulletproof.
Wildly US military quality gurus taught them after WWII
When I was in highschool around when Scion started taking off, we all thought of Toyotas as grandma cars. I'm guessing that's why they named them something else.
I love driving a standard. every car I've had since I was 21 has been a stick shift
As someone driving an old 2006 scion TC, it's a great car, only had minor issues and original tranny and engine still going strong. Still looks and runs great. Even an 2006 has more HP than the new honda civics (non-turbo)
Scotty... Scion was a brilliant piece of marketing. They wanted to give youngster people something identifying with the younger generation. In 2004 _ 2006 Toyota sold a lot of the TC xB cars. We all knew they were Toyota and that was a plus. I used xBs for several bands I was in and we hauled a lot of gear in them. I was a charter member in Nashville's chapter of the Sicotics. We had about 90 cars in that club and Toyota dealers sold us all kinds of mods. I personally think the Scion branding was a pretty smart thing for Toyota to try.
I like those XBs. Hard trying to find a good one where I am though. I looked at one that had some kind of oil leak and they were also being shady with prices. Ugh.
Had 220k miles on it but didn't look terrible. Windshield was cracked all the way across it though. :/
There's one a hour from me that has some paint issues for $3500 has over 200k as well.
@Adolf Hitler How ? Lol that's a damn good price
I actually sold my 2011 Tc for an 2017 86 a month ago.(I've always wanted an frs/brz/86). Man, what a BEAST of a car. I had it for 6 years and bought it at 75k miles. Other than regular maintenance, I've only had to change out a failing blower motor (which was like $60 and took 10 mins to replace). I plan on buying a 2.5 gen Tc in a few years because I do miss that car sometimes.
The tC is slept on
Youll be lucky to find one. I don't see scion tc s for sale...
Nice profile pic
At 1:59 Scotty you can go to a Salvage Yard for used Honda parts shows image of a Chevy Dealer
How lucky was this guy, to take Scotty Kilmer on a rip and bang first gear Revlimiter LOL goals.
Yeah at like 5 mph
In your home town, lots of people have a winter car, pre rusted, rear wheel drive and snow tires on ‘em. Your summer car? Fieros, Corvettes, mustangs or whatever.
I live in central CA near the coast. Seven years ago I bought an 88 Fiero V6/five speed in Mankato, MN...flew back and drove it home, swinging by northern Idaho to visit my brother, who also once owned an 88 Fiero......which, incidentally, was the first one I ever drove. This 88 has an unusal history. Because it was the last year made, the dealership displayed it on their showroom floor for seven years and then the owner took it as his own personal car, moving it to Florida and driving it there only when he was on vacation. When I bought it, it had 20K on it, but now has 57K. This is my third Fiero and have driven them exclusively as my driver almost 300K altogether since I purchased my first one in '89.......32 years ago. My other 'car' is a Honda ST 1100 motorcycle and, I turned 80 eight months ago.
Seems like no matter where I go, someone comes up to me wanting to chat with me about my Fiero. Course, that also happens when I drive my 58 GMC 3/4 ton pick up.....so, I'm used to it.
You woudn't, by any chance, like to buy a compact ski boat with a Pontiac 400 in it, would you?
When I bought it in Idaho, it was part of an estate sale and had been in storage for 10 years. It is a fast boat and really needs to be ran on a big lake, like Shasta, but that is 300 miles from here and it has been almost ten years since I've had it on the water.
My wife and I have lieved apart for over 12 years, but now I'm selling out and we're combining households 210 miles north of where I now reside.

why tf would you want a rwd for the snow? so you can easily kick the back end? i have only driven 4wd awd and fwd in the snow
@@fpscanada3862 I drove in snow plenty as a teen with a Camaro, RWD and no traction control Loved it. Fun all day long. As an adult in multiple FWD cars, one a VW, the rest American....I've tried it repeatedly, and nope, I hate it. I don't like the feeling of losing traction and steering at the same time with an FWD. On snow days now, the 4WD Colorado comes out to play for the commute.
Bought a used Scion Xb for $6K the other day and I couldn’t be happier!
How many miles

@@zerrot5302 you got yourself a great deal! The Scion Xb is a pretty quirky and unusual vehicle, and I'm a big fan of those type of vehicles. Plus, Toyota reliability
2011 Scion ! ... I'm Shocked he's reviewing it! That's like a BRAND NEW Car to Scotty!
Hi Scotty, I’m trying to arrange to meet you before you leave Rhode Island, hope to see you soon!
I love when Scotty does videos on older cars from the past. It's good to know that some of the older cars are still good purchases to this day. May want a little beater car one day at least I have knowledge and which ones are good and which ones are bad. Scotty! Keep doing these types of videos they're very informative, love it!
Not the fieros
great observation
My 2016 scion tc is a fun little car. Manual, handles great, nice stereo, reliable, and practical with the large liftback.
The Corolla I bought in 2003 is still going strong with over 300k miles with only minor maintenance.
I bought a 2003 Corolla for $500. It had a sh**load of miles on it, and has never failed me. It is just a backup for me.
Look up repair history on your scion will definitely make you want to sell it
@@DylanL69 never had much of an issue on my Scion TC. Runs great and the parts are Toyota and where I live are cheap parts to get.
@@learningchannel3850 the engines don't last on those will run good for a while the crap out on you
@@DylanL69 mine is on 402,000 kilometres and the engine still works just fine. Maybe that is true for some people but the thing does the job. One of the best affordable cars from my perspective anyways.
my 1999 chevy/Geo Prizm just clicked 400K miles on original motor&trans.
Well that is a rebadged Corolla...
Scotty great vid. I had 2002 pontiac sunfire 2.2 non ecotec. I got 500,000 miles and never separated motor. Just upgraded car. Miss that little car. Very cheap to repair.
my mom still has hers!
I have a mr2 it’s a totally different experience driving a mid engine I enjoy hearing the engine noise and fun
I've had my 2010 TC for over a decade now. I probably owned 10 different cars over my life and can say that TC is far and away that best one I've ever owned. Absolutely a hidden gem of a car.
how would you compare Scion to a Civic in terms of reliability? I know aftermarket for Scion is pretty limited, so stock vs stock I'd like to know. Debating on a 11-15 civic or 11-16 TC. Both coupe obviously. Do you drive an auto or manual? I can do both, but would like to know how auto lasts mileage wise, thanks!
@@dbzownz12345 I would say they're pretty similar. The Scion tC is basically a Camry shoved into a coupe. I've had mine for 10 years. It's got just over a 100k miles and automatic 2010 model. I've only had to make one repair for it which was a pollution sensor. I also threw 2500 into recently to give struts and a tune up. It's been an absolutely great car. It's a Toyota product if you wash it regularly and change the oil often it will last you a long time. I assume most people think they're throwaways because they're not in production anymore but they are definitely a hidden affordable gem. I would say the only downside is they're not great in the snow.
Thank you so much for all the knowledge and advice in your videos Scotty!
I ended up buying a AWD RX300 that needed a valve cover gasket and transmission fluid change for under 3k, I did a few other things as well and now ride in reliable luxury for as long as it runs :D.
182k Miles
I just bought a 2006 tC with 23k miles for $8k, August 2021. I bought it based primarily on Scotty's recommendation in this and a few other videos he's made on the tC. Still smells new inside, unblemished outside. We'll see how far it goes.
I had mine 10 years 190,000 miles later the thing has given me no problem really reliable car just replaced all my shocks,struts and sway links,and it drives like a new vehicle !
Take care of it you wont regret it
@@michaelreta3960 yupp I've got mine to 230k with no issues
Love my 1996 honda Civic, right now it's in the paint shop getting a new coat of paint.
Will last forever. 96 or the 5th generation Honda's are unbreakable.
got the civic it out of the paint shop two weeks ago, well it was stolen last Thursday...
In Buffalo NY there used to be a car rental company called “ Rent A Relic” . That old Honda would have been at home. They went out of business a long time ago-but I don’t know why....
My 1995 Dodge Ram 3500 5-Speed manual with the 12 valve Cummins was 7,000 bucks in 2008, had no issues with it!
Yes and you probably won't because Chrysler actually built tough reliable easy to maintain trucks in those years 👍 It's about the same story for all the top three American car manufacturers
You avoided their transmission problems with a manuel
Not to mention you could trade it for a 2021 gasser if you felt like it 5hese days! I did the same and bought an old 01 duramax, that's my baby. Drive a camry for my commuter
I've got a 93 d150 automatic single cab long bed with the 5.9 magnum. Its got 200k miles and has been sitting for a few years now but when it was running it was the fastest old pickup around. It would take off so fast. it beat a modern stock camaro with a v6.
@@nicholasgerardi553 they didn't have trans problems back then
Wow, the exhaust on that Fiero sounds awesome!!!!
Evening Scotty, I hope you’re enjoying yourself and having a great day so far.
evening and thanks, you too!
I remember seeing a 86 red fiero at the dealership in 1986. I told my dad I wanted that car when I turned 16. I was only 8 at the time, so that never happened. I wanted a firebird by then!
if a stick VERY hard to push in clutch
Just as well then🙃
Fieros were crap anyway be glad you didn't get one
I bought a 2010 scion Tc as my first brand new car off the show room. In the 8 years I had it, and after 60,000mi I never had a single issue. NOT ONE. It was my cute “bubble car”. Named Lil blue.... I was honestly sad when I traded it in... also it kept its value pretty well. 🚙
What did you trade it in for? Another Toyota?
Why’d you let it go ?
Ive been driving a Scion xB, "The Toaster", for a while, pretty fun, and a standard, runs great too
Did you get it new? How many miles I've been looking for a XB. Love how much room they have in them
My friend has a 2009 Scion xB with 160,000 miles. It may look really dumb but it’s a great vehicle that’s extremely reliable.
@@icecreamjunkie6790 yeah, getting rid of mine now at 270k miles
@@goodiegoodygumdrops just refound my comment lol. My mom bought it used at 13k miles and its lasted up to 270k miles. Only issue now is that the rims are rusting through so my tires keep going flat XD
I was expecting Scotty to crawl into the back of that Scion and open the hatch asking people to "ring that bell".
hahaha
Yessir Scion tC I got me a 2008 Scion tC for 3,700 and she runs great
Look up repair history they anything but reliable

@@kevinluna6182 nope i ended up getting a mazda 6 2014 for $6k. It was salvage but got it at only 80,000 miles and its been good
Honda does make one of the best engines in the world. My 2001 Honda Accord Value Package has 308,000+ miles and it’s still runs good.
My 2006 Scion tC was my favorite car. Easy fix ( other then the front shocks). I miss mine
The same engine in the Fiero is the same engine that the postal service uses, and they still catch fire to this day. Quality! Also fun fact about postal vans: they get about 9 mpg.
The Yota MR-2's are still one of my favorite looking cars 😍 Look like mini Ferrari's
The first car I bought on my own was a Scion XA . Put over 200k mi on it and sold it years later for over 5 Grand. Was such a great car, never a problem.
Some day I feel like I'm gonna be driving through Tennessee and I'm going to see tho fences on Scotties test drive strait a way and just stop like I'm having a flash back and realize " holy shnike scotty should be here soon!
Drive by Fort Campbell and you may find it
I still love the little subs Scotty throws at cars with the icons on the video "Oh well you know, it might last a couple weeks" and shows a Mercedes...
Both the Honda and the yota at the end were beyond special
Hahahahahahaha no they weren't the fiero was more special
I had that same 94 civic in a sedan model with the 1.5L VTEC. Had a 9 gallon tank & I'd fill it for 20$ & get 40 miles per gallon. Only thing it ever needed was an oil pan gasket.
I love the fiero. My dad had a fiero it was fun driving very low riding car.
They were horrible
I had a 85 GT/Manual new Yes they were fun and build quality was legendary.
The Scion brand was branded towards young person accessibility. But it was also a concept in ordering one vehicle one model no extra's no take aways. They all where the same the only choice you got was manual or automatic and then hit the aftermarket magazine for customization. Toyota figured by 2012 that with the advant of the cuv craze they didn't need the brand anymore so they reabsorbed it.
The funny part is they wanted to attract young people, but old people loved them🤣
He can find a decent back seat at a salvage yard. Looks like a great project car, fun to fix up🥰🚘
I worked on the project to dismantle and dispose of the Fiero GM plant in Massena, NY over 20 some years ago. I shipped hundreds of railcars with waste material from the site to landfills out in the western US. Seeing the car in the video brought back a lot memories of that job.
Got brand new 2006 scion tc instead of honda s2000. Now 226k miles , still take me to work everyday . Best decision ever..
Why would the S2000 have been a bad buy? And the engine in the S2000 is legendary, unlike the boring toyota engines.
Lol..I like s2000 but scion tc more practical and 10k cheaper. I was a college student, don't have money to spend on weekends car..
Nope look up the repair history they suck
This man is so passionate about mechanics!! He’s like a walking library about véhicules
I have an '09 tC that I've had since 2014. I've only done oil changes and a battery replaced in 2016.Oh one thing Scotty, that is a ram intake that doesn't really pull cold air into the engine. A cold air intake has a pipe going down to the driver's side fender. I thought a Fiero had more horses than that.
I have a 2010 ive had since 2014... Same here. I love them....best car ive had.
Got an ‘09 also. Favorite car I’ve ever had. 170k and I’m trying to make sure it lasts, but the air handler causes rough idling and is making the car hard to start. Trying to justify it.
@@Micmoves I changed the plugs and wires, also am using mid grade which gives the combo a boost.
I still have an original 2005 Scion tC. Zero issues. Saved my life a couple of times too. One of the Top 10 cars ever made.
*FACTS*
I’m thinking about buying one
@@trustme7660 can't guarantee if it's used. I bought mine new. Actually ordered it and had it built. That's what they did back in 2005.

I miss my 2001 Firebird. I wish they would bring them back. RIP Pontiac.
That camaro firebird conversion is kinda dope tho
I had a 87 Berlinator Camaro when I was 16 and it lasted me over 300k miles lasted me all through my sheetmetal apprenticship. I drove all over New England. Finally sold it when I was 22. I still got a Grand. Wish chevy made vehicles like that still. I loved that thing
My brother in Florida has a 87 Fiero with the 3800 in it. Going to check that out next week. My 2006 Scion TC is still going strong and I recently did an engine soak with MMO (2.4 liter) to help out with the sludgy piston rings. So far so good. And I had a Civic Si back in the 80s. All bases are covered.
😂Scotty i want that Honda😂
Fax
3 years later $428 due to inflation xd
He def jizzed talking about that Honda😂
Why would want that slow pos
I had a Civic and a tC. Both Great cars! Reliable, sporty and good on gas.
Hey Scotty make more of these videos please we love them so very much
will do thanks!
Yes that's why I stopped watching a different car video when Scotty notification came through🤓 👍
My mother and I like speed she used to race in the Powder Puff Derby. I used to street race a retired undercover car from Five-0 in Honolulu, a '70 Challenger R/T with a 440, 6pack And other modifications, Including suspension. Also, a stock '74 Grand Prix, 400-4 V8. And last but absolutely not least, a '76 Buick Le Sabre 4dr sedan with a 455 V8, with a Rochester M4MC 4 brl carb. They just never knew what hit 'em with this one.
I didn’t forget to smash that like button Appreciate y’all Scotty all day long. I really like your sense of humor. Keep it on the straight and narrow.
Scion tC was an awesome release. under $20k for a six speed with six disc cd changer, moonroof in back and sunroof in front, 18 in wheels, light up cup holders...
Small coupes are under constant intimidation from big pickups and Suv's.
I see plenty of compensated tools crowding me, as I drive my itty bitty GM J.
Just got 2014 Scion TC with about 108k miles. I love the car so much. Very roomy seats with a bunch of cargo space since it's hatchback. The car looks better, more sporty and stylish to me compare to most of the coupes in the price range. People say Horsepower is the turn off, but as a guy who owned V8 with over 300HP before this one, the TC is not that bad as they say in speed. Not crazy for you to race it, but fun enough to enjoy daily driving. Plus, saved me tons of gas money. Wish Toyota didn't discontinue the model though. I like coupes because of their styling and hatchback made it everyday practical.
I test drove a 2015 White Scion TC with the manual the other day, only $11,000 CDN, fun car to drive, biiig Blindspots, lol, deal didn't work out but I would have bought it ... fun to drive!
Ive had one since 2014 luv it..... It's been the best car I've ever owned lol....
I LOVE my scion.. i moved my entire apartment in it.. no moving truck in just a couple of trips. Runs like a dream with 30 miles per gallon on the highway and im sure i have over 200,000 miles to go. Love Toyota cars!
good to see that old timer still having fun ! XD
I bought an '81 Mercury Bobcat (fancy Pinto) as my first car back in '96, & processed to buy several cars & minivans between $500-1k up until say 2005 or so & it seems like the days of the $500 car you can legally & reliably drive are behind us. Sure that Honda is a beater but I'd buy it for $500 in a heartbeat! You could likely replace the seats & interior for $100-200 from pretty much any salvage yard.
Me hitting 20000 rpm in my 96 F150, "Don't worry its got the straight 6."
I own a Fiero, It's been sitting in Minnesota ( me in Florida ) for 12yrs going on 13. New Engine ( less than 500 on it) , 5 speed Trans/Clutch, Breaks, Tires, everything worked including Lights.. Can't get anyone to go get it for me.. Plus now, sitting so long, it will need to be gone over. Also thinking of having it converted to Carb.
Probably be cheaper to buy another one but here in Florida, they are still getting $2,500 or More with over 100,000 on them. I only paid $850 for mine because it threw a Rod while the dealer was parking it in back for me to get it the next day. Drove it 16 miles on 3cylinders. 8 miles home and back a week later to take it to a Garage to have fixed.
Hey Scotty, I drive a Corolla, but it would be nice to see recommendations on reliable cars from brands other than Toyota and Honda or the Fords like Crown Vic, etc. There could be cheap and reliable vehicles from the likes Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, etc. It would be nice to see other options, I'm pretty sure they're not all junk. Greetings!!
Kia & Nissan reliable? lol
As a fiero owner you do not hear about them EVER. Very excited when I saw haha. And yeah the fiero is the most fun car I've driven. It's a neat car.
Love this man!!
8:21 - That is my single most used method of explaining a diagnosis, a repair, a break down, a part failure, a car sell, a car buy, a nice car, literally everything that is cars, can be describe or explained with that single sound, the almighty FART SOUND !!
“FU KING SMOKE SHOP” - That sign made me laugh way too much. 😂😂😂
I have that same engine in my Del Sol... rebuilt it and the transmission and clutch 6 1/2 years ago...
Runs like a charm... Super easy to work on, cheap to fix, cheap on insurance and fun!!
Here since my Nissan is acting up😅
Scotty told you not to buy that lol
What model Nissan?
@@TheCarnivoreSoprano 😆
@@DarthVader-1701 2007 Nissan Versa sl
@@Tatiannenaddin The Versa does not have the reputation of being one of the best Nissan cars that's for sure. It seems that around 2007 Nissan cars took a huge drop in reliability.
About Honda distributors: I had a 1978 Accord with a bad distributor. Dealer said their distributors don't have bushings. I asked if he knew anything about friction. He tried to sell me a new one for $160. I fixed it with a couple of bronze bushings I got from an electric motor repair shop. Cost $0.50 and ran for another 5 years.
Cool story lol
I love these videos because im trying to look for my first car
Same
I'm looking for my second car since my first car is totaled
Good luck aiden I’m sure Scotty can help you I learned a lot from Scotty even though I know a lot about cars myself never bought a car that went wrong on me I always bought them cheap sold them for more because original owners didn’t know what they were worth and sold them bought new ones which is fine so they didn’t care to sell them for cheap and people like me who need something cheap and great go buy them in Canada we have a lot of cheap cars used and for cheap good price in Ontario specially in Toronto we have used cars all over the place very busy city and cheap most people drive new cars or newer ones
You shouldn't spend any more than $3,000 for a first car, because the less money you pay for a car, the less college or trade school debt you need to take out. Student debt is no joke; a lot of people my age can't buy houses because of it.

I’ve had a few 93 civics… they are solid beasts back then. I now have a 17 year old Volvo and I love that one just as much.
I've been driving a Mercedes W123 as a daily driver for 13 years, I paid $500 for it 🙂
I paid $1 for my w203 it's a great car
Went to buy an Isuzu PUP for $200, and I saw a Fiero. long story short, we got both for $1,000 BIG ones.
Ringed the motor and honed the cylinders on the Isuzu, then sold it for $1500!!
Had to replace the clutch, and the heater core. The interior was super clean, and the white paint compounded out. Driving that V 6 was fun, especially on the twisties. I daily drove it for over 2 years, with no repairs. AND, the pop-up headlights even worked!! Ended up taking a $3600 offer from a guy building a kit car.
Imagine driving a dude in your car and he keeps roasting it on film
It’s an honor if it’s Scotty roasting 😂
I’ve had my scion tc m/t for 16 trouble free years. Such a cheap car to own. I will be trading it in today for a bigger car. It crushes me that I have to get rid of a perfectly fine car. But I have to play the good dad and get a car big enough to haul the family and their gear around.
Got a manual 06 tc which i bought new and tbh i feel i can still get like 15 yrs of life out of it, and ive been very negligent with it, needs new sus like 3 yrs ago. Excellent everyday beat up car it has hold the abuse
I’m about to buy one how is it maintenance wise

Bought a 82 Accord for $50 in 1993, drove from Dallas TX to Chicago area by way of the Atlantic ocean and I pulled off the freeway in Savannah Georgia and it idled very rough, pulled off the distributor cap and found the bearing shot in the distributor, made it all the way to nw Indiana where I found a junkyard distributor for $50. Drove back to Dallas and sold it for $750... good car...
