Musto along with Camissa are a couple of my favorite guest. Just like houses its a great time to sell a car not so much to be a buyer
I'm glad you guys took the time to point out that the reason everything is so God damned expensive is because stupid people have access to credit.
Matt next time you're travelling please take a piece of closed cell foam to stick unde the mic! Great episode (again)!
Constantly thought my phone was vibrating lol. All good thanks for the pod guys
Thank You! It's annoying AF.
There's gotta be someone like vintage air who'll make you a banging aircon for your ferrari
Worked at Carvana for 3 years: Most of what said here is pretty accurate. It's all about having the inventory. Whether profit is made is not necessarily the objective. However the cars offered to use as the user are based on your zipcode so its harder than you think actually buy (find) a car on the site in cali if you live on the east coast zipcode. Otherwise they charge you 300+ to ship it (however that is much cheaper than the going rate of +$1000 to move a car cross country. Additionally Carvana is driving the market higher, they actually give high values for cars and they don't require anything more than pics and docs
I scored a 99’ Toyota Tercel for $1100. Fantastic condition. The cheap beater is hard to find.
Re: the discussion on EV carbon neutrality, Engineering Explained has done a video on that already...long story short, in general, EVs are still cleaner to produce and use, then using gas cars.
For sure. OK if you're moving from a late model economical ICE car to an EV and you only drive a few thousand miles per year, probably doesn't make sense bcuz EVs are somewhat higher impact to build than conventional ICE cars, but it is just _somewhat_ . EVs are also ~6x more efficient for each mile traveled vs ICEs fundamentally so if you put any sort of normal mileage on your ICE car, and/or drive a much older and dirtier ICE car, it's worth getting an EV environmentally. Plus even if you trade in a late model ICE to get an EV, that ICE is presumably replacing someone's older ICE and getting that off the road so there are still benefits down the line.
Then why do they cost more
I got an absolute shit pile 06 Subaru Outback from my dad for free so I could keep my GTI out of the snow. What a glorious time it is to be able to drive a car you don't care about to protect the one you do care about.

Great podcast, guys! I'll send you pics tomorrow of my new Toyota Rav4 Prime!
23:25 I feel personally attacked paying $600/mo on my 981 Cayman S with no warranty XD
That's a real problem. I suggest you go for a ride in it as a way to cope with the pain.
At least you have a fun car to drive. Now imagine paying $600/mo for an out of warranty Nissan. That’s when you have true regret. 😅
@@TML34 I think many of us have been there. :)
Great podcast with Musto! So true about trying to bring an old car up to today's standards. It's just not likely to succeed. Improve the basics and enjoy the classic car/muscle car experience, warts and all.
Yassou from Astoria park (just visiting today)
I love this show! I feel like I'm in the room with you guys.
Rav4 Prime... The most forgettable vehicle ever with 300hp :P
I love my 4runner. It's just reliable, and so comfy for the road trips, off roading and of course that 5th sliding window
I like the maverick, the size, price and I think it’s kinda handsome. I’ve never once been interested in any truck or suv in my life. Every car I’ve had has been a lowered Jdm.
Love these Musto podcasts, really enjoy his perspective on trading cars around
Have to agree with you about EVs. The world hasn't really dealt with the issue of E-Waste, we just dump our waste onto poor countries. But somehow the answer to the great challenge of global warming is to transform the automobile into a consumer electronic, and create more waste 🤷♂
Theoretically EVs should last much, much longer than ice cars. Far less moving parts and analog tech means increased durability. If we figure out battery replacement and recycling, no shot material waste is worse for EVs by any metric.
For every gallon of gas that weighs 6lbs produces 11lbs of CO2. How much of that 11lbs of CO2 is being recycled? How long before the EVs 1,500lbs battery weighs less than CO2 being produced? How long before the entire 4500lbs EV can be set on fire and melted with zero recycling before its less than the CO2 being produced?
@@gnoxycat How long before setting an EV on fire produces more CO2 than it was intended to save?
@@andrewdavid6054 Before the first 10k miles. After that its switches from being a zero emissions vehicle and crosses over to negative emissions vs an ICE car.
I dont know if there have been any cheap economy EVs in America or if theyd be of any use concidering the distances, but for a Metro Area car youll get a lot of luxury feeling from a cheap EV. Very little noise, no vibrations, quicker from a standstill to the speedlimit than any ICE car under 80 grand.
edit: make that 60 grand maybe, but an e-Golf will keep up with a Golf R up to 60 kmh.
The people who paid $50k over for a GT500 also paid $200k over for a house in LA in the 90's. They're getting screwed again. Not me, I had a few clean cars going into 2020, including a 2005 GTO that I bought new with just 34k miles (it's spotless) and I'm going to ride this out forever how long this takes. When the world wakes up from this nightmare, I'll buy something (I find the New Z car interesting, but I won't buy the first year of a new model, I can wait) new, maybe. I have no need to be the first on my block to have the latest greatest anything.
Amen brother!
Damnit Matt buy a decent shock mount. The constant noise every time you touch the table was driving me bonkers, seriously if you can afford a Lamborghini Countach fifty to a hundred dollars ain’t going to kill you. Otherwise an excellent conversation, love Mike Musto.
1:09:50 The story goes that Luca di Montezemolo had is arse handed to him at a set of traffic lights by a fiat uno turbo i.e (I own two, mk1 and mk2), and he wasn't pleased...........
You both have forgotten who your audience is. Middle class joes who have family’s to support and car payments to make. That first cocky conversation was a slap in the face. 👎🏻
Hi Matt. I’m in the digital media sales business and even I cannot appreciate 10 minutes of ads before reaching the content. Some restraint would be much appreciated. Great episode though!
Fantastic episode , wasn't the biggest fan of Matt's bongo drum solo on the mic at 1:17:48 though 😂
120 months at 18%; shoot, bru, I got a heck of a deal. Ain't that right Alu'xa?
9:47 start
I wanna see someone put a big block V8 in a Tesla Model S!!!😂
Stay away from extended warranties my dad had one for his 05 dually. It covered somethings but didn’t cover others. Plus most cars are 100,000mile don’t do anything except oil changes and maybe a serpentine belt but most people aren’t owning anything long enough to either out last the warranty or their trading in still owing on the last one and it’s transferred to the new car. Because they can’t afford to pay a mechanic or dealer to fix anything or don’t know how to. A window regulator from dodge is $350 before labor. Autozone $120.
My Dakota had a 3/36 bumper and 7/70 powertrain. My dads was 3/36 and 10/100k being a Cummins.
The Maverick has the 2.0 liter, not the 2.3 ecoboost
I almost bet the Mic was turned off, and the sound was been captured by the earphone. That would explain the tapping noises when it rubs on the sweatshirt.
I think the mic is on the wrong pickup mode, in order to pick up Mike's voice they just crank up the gain and the table noise just went through the roof.
@@syin111 don't get these fancy table mics. Sometimes they sound worse than a simple clip mic you put on the shirt.
Love the show. What hat is Musto wearing? I want one
I always love Musto on this pod
People love 4 runners to the point that it’s almost like a cult, I joined a 4 runner group on fb and these ppl swear nothing else in the world can compare.
And their right! …Besides the sequoia
"have to do so much to make it almost good"...
Stop hurting me. Also, Silver Sport are great folks. GN needs a BOV for the manual to work.
Musto needs to talk to Doug D about this. If you have enough cash to pay for a car in cash you take the loan and invest the rest. You'll make more money in the long run.
some people just love being suckers.
Wait, so you're saying that the ROI of the investment will outweigh the interest on the loan?
@@Storm762x39 if you get a low interest rate… no sense to pay cash when I can finance at 0.99%. On a $40k loan at 1% going full term is $1228 in interest….so IF you can make 3% interest annually on $40,000 ($1200 return) you will be ahead of the game after 1 year.
@@gickneorge I see. But as far as I know, interest on a loan in South Africa is more than just 1%
@@gickneorge yeah so in South Africa, the interest earned on money market is approximately 5.5%. Interest paid on vehicle loans is between 8% and 11%. So the investment here would have to be one that earns more than 11% which is going to be tough to say the least.
10:27 to skip qds
Great show, as always. EV lifetime carbon neutrality has come up as a topic on the show a bunch of times over the past year and I think it would be super helpful and interesting for you to invite a subject matter expert to discuss the numbers behind the assumptions. Thinking this would be similar to your awesome guest who briefed us all on AI tech.
All this talk about ADM and 84 month loans. I have thought about this a few times and it definitely might hit our economy in a few years once those cars start coming out of warranty/breaking down. Too much debt rolling around on the road due to such low interest rates
I have a 2018 GT350 base and I can relate to the clunkiness of it when driving it short distances. It’s just not happy until it’s driven for 20 minutes in a Georgia winter. My 97 Maxima 5-speed is so much happier on short city trips. And for a close destinations I can just keep it running in the parking lot while I’m shopping. Anyone that wants to steal it doesn’t know how to or want to.
Forsure. It’s a battle to go down the road to the grocery store in the stang bc it won’t even be warmed up yet. Just gotta take the long way 😎
That 430 6 spd will be worth more in 5 years even if it has 2k miles on it, so the owner could drive it, sparingly
Where is the TownCar? I'm interested!!!
You can find Grand marquis and town cars for sale in the range of 3500-4500 all day. They are some of the last cheap used cars that last. but the days of the 2-3500k toyotas are over. That 2500k camry is pushing 5k now.
Excellent to hear and see you guys just shoot the shit with each other. Down to earth (former) east coasters telling it like it is!
oh no table noises
😂
Oh, so that's what i was hearing in the background.
Based on Matt’s logic if you buy a honda you should finance it for 3 years max
Trade your car in to Carvana, buy the cheapest Lexus or Toyota you like and you'll be alright.
Dude got ripped on the 300 LOL, I pay $30 for a 2020 V8 300S in October or November 2020
And a V6 no less. Yikes!
@@TML34 I know right 😱 I got mine used with 8k miles and could sell it now for 7k over what I paid
4Runner interiors haven’t changed since 04
The EV thing man. Same thing over in Europia. People are actually convinced its free energy. My daily is an EV and I wouldnt go back but holy fuck if I hear "zero emissions" one more time...
I wanted a tacoma or 4runner when I was just buying a car a month ago. I wanted a truck but didn't want something gigantic like a 1500 truck. It towed a small camper and that's all I needed. The price just didn't justify it.
I miss seeing Mr Angry randomly around NY...
DWAC TOMORROW...
something like 80% of the materials in a battery are recyclable for new batteries, battery recycling will be a huge business in addition to the mining.
It's obvious fear is the best manipulator of man. It's been 2 months got to go get my next booster. Haha
Holy fuck I know
You don’t have to get one if you don’t want.
@@R17759 ur not understanding the situation. Some areas are mandating this just to live life. Thats not a choice. May not be a problem for u right now but if u understand history, it will soon be a big problem for u. Good luck
Manipulating people to do what, exactly? Do something for their personal and public health? Oh no!
@@R17759
You don't have to pull the rip cord when you jump out of a plane either, but its highly suggested 😉
That yeti microphone is going to get some mad tail in college.
Didn't you have a Manscaped sponsorship at some point? Help your mic out with it's bush. Jesus...😆🤣🤣🤣 *rimshot*
Engineering Explained did a terrific breakdown of how EVs are significantly more sustainable to manufacture compared to combustion. It’s not even close…
Yeah, using Tesla's own data.
@@gustavoflorio5383 Yeah, no. Using a breadth of data
From all the studies I've read, EVs and combustion engine cars are pretty close in overall carbon emissions, usually with EVs coming up slightly better. Mostly depending on assumptions on how the electricity (both for driving and the production of the car) is produced, and the assumed lifecycle of the batteries, which remains a big unknown.
@@Finnspin_unicycles The EE piece controlled for electricity generation method as well as disposal which is a known quantity. It also added the benefit of ground level asthmatic emissions from tailpipes which is of course zero on an EV.
Either way, it’s objectively more sustainable to drive an EV.
Talk to J.B. Straubel from Redwood Materials about ev recycling
It would be sweet if you could post to another video site as well. This platform is becoming censored like no other. We all gotta get outa here. Rumble? Odysee? Thanks, love your content, just want to watch it somewhere else if i can!
Man I really pity what you've been tricked into subjecting yourself to. I took 1 test when I was sick last Thanksgiving. Positive. Suffered though a but been fine since. I won't take another test. Hope you see the causation with your depression. Thank you, godspeed.
Nothing wrong with wanting to make sure you aren’t sick and avoiding potentially getting someone else sick too.
@@R17759 kinda seems like there is man.
Almost 10min of commercials at the beginning, now I remember why I unsubscribed to this channel before.
Ever use the fast forward button? It’ll change your life, man.
Its called skipping until you pass the commercials.
Tacoma was easy money in/money out over the course of 1 year/6500 miles. Got what I paid for it and it only cost me gas & insurance. Yeah the driving position is like sitting in a pool chaise but it made for a great camping rig
