Hey Scotty, I bought a 2004 Mercedes C230 with 140k miles from a first owner (in solid condition for $4k) back in October and have been daily driving it 155 miles a day with no problem. When should I expect to see problems hahaha.
So a american mercedes worse then a eu mercedes?
thank you for uploading this video
Scotty do you recommend a 2016 c300 or a 2016 328i
Hey @scottykilmer I have a 2014 Acura TL with the 3.7 L engine with 90,000 miles well maintained. Anything I need to worry about in the future about this car? Or just keep doing regular maintenance on it and enjoy...?
The acid this guy dropped in 70s is still in effect
Dominic Magana LMAO
It revved up his engine.
Lmfao!!!
Or maybe he's just passionate about what he does.
@@emperorpalpatine1228 it's called sarcasm 😕
We need real honest mechanics like this man all over the country
Honesty is not profitable in our capitalist society. Honestly is socialism and unamerican.. 😏
I'd bet there's alot more out there you'd think. Nowadays the crooks get BLASTED online and via word of mouth. Do the research and go in with a little research and you won't get screwed
@@OBZRV82
Mechanics in this greedy country in a nutshell
Everything this guy is saying is his opinion based on his own experience. My cousins who are also mechanics, who have studied cars for a long time will tell you something else about luxury cars. You may be surprised that they drive BMWs they’ve bought from the auction every time I see them and those cars have been very reliable to them.
People put their opinions all over the internet. You have to speak from your own experiences, and everyone has their own experiences.
This guy is the Hickok45 of the car world. Thank you.
Bj 7Up Dunky I know who you are talking about
@@franciscojavierrayos me too. lol
Bj 7Up Dunky hygiene
He’s talking about a gun channel. Very popular older gentleman like Scotty but knowledgeable about firearms.
I understood that reference :D
Yo this dude got me on a youtube binge session, mans is easy to listen to and dropping knowledge out here... subscribed
Same
At first he seems like your crazy uncle but this guy knows cars
Me too
Same!!!!!!
rite tho 💯
Best used luxury car is a 1994 Celica and my wife's Lexus
I am shocked how he put a BMW picture instead of Mercedes
Scotty Kilmer's duplicate account detected. Reported.
everytime and both are cheap as hell, that 330 is not even a real luxury car it's a rebadged Camry.......fwd....lol
lmao 😂
I just got my wife a Lexus ES 350 for our 32 anniversary. It's a living room on wheels. Incredible car.
Hi, I'm a BMW owner. I also cry before these videos.
I have a 2000 Audi S4. We call it the "Cenote'," like the bottomless pits of South America!
What year?
Kovu The Great first car was e38 . Second car was Kia Rio. Now a 328i e90. Never going back.
I got a BMW 6-years ago. I was so happy to get it. It was a 325i. The very first problem i had was an oil leak. It was very annoying because they wanted so much money just to fix it. I sold the car and got a Lexus. I love it. Had it for 2-years.
@@2011Savere My BMW 330i is amazing was well maintained by previous owner ( a friend ) Online parts are Cheap enough, and with video tutorials out you can do most work yourself
Imagine walking through your neighborhood and you hear a guy yelling about his Lexus
🤣🤣
I just found this channel. Why is his talking so mesmerizing? I feel like I've been pulled into a channel black hole.
Jordan Taylor I been stuck here for a week 🥴
Yeah. I’ve been watching Scotty for well over 5 years and still have never owned a car.
You’re a gonner. Welcome to the family, Jordan.
After watching Scotty’s videos for the last six months I concluded that buying a used Lexus was the best choice. Pulled the trigger on an ES 350 last week. Great vehicle at a great price. Thanks, Scotty.
Scotty have converted alot of people, not just you and me. Thank god Scotty is not a cult leader or else 😂
+daniel gerber - Congrats! I think you made a great decision! It will last you a long time if you take care of it!
You were brainwashed, man...lol...Just kidding, I will buy a Lexus too in the next few years
That Guy You have no idea what are you talking about! Maybe you managed to kill that transmission, but Aisin are the best, both my cars (2005 Toyota Camry and 2011 Volvo S80) have those trannies and no problems. Volvo is a madness in any gear, a lot of torque and very smooth ride!
Srn C we have a 2016 RX350 and 2016 Volvo XC90, Volvo transmission are smoother, RX is quite jerky when gearing down when you put pedal down. Dealership said it’s normal..... our only complaint! Oh and awful infotainment on RX! Going to replace it with a chinese third party system so the china communist party can keep me secure
Lexus ES 300
2016 Acura RLX / or TLX
2003-2011 Lincoln
Lexus ES/ or 300 /350
Lexus ES or GS
What year of Lexus?
I think he means 2002 to 2017 or so ES and GS
Acura tlx is my fave i got a acura tl rn
Is 2016 es350 worth to buy over a 2018 camry?
3 grand for a Lexus with only 60k is a really good deal where can I find those prices lol
You think that's good I paid $150 for a 2006 ES330 it had like a hundred eighty thousand miles on it but absolutely zero mechanical issues aside from routine maintenance needed struts but runs outstanding.... that was three years ago I still drive it today
He probably bought it at an auction. You need a license for that. Or you need a friend with a license that buys it for you
Well, i got my grand marquis for 3,000 that has 71,000 miles
Scolio not the same
@@williamgomez5876 the point is,you can find anything if you have patience
My pops bought a 2002 es300 in like 2011-ish. He was so proud of that thing, and it was an awesome car - comfortable as all hell, interior still looked great, rode incredibly smooth while not being a boat, and the sound system was I think the best that I've experienced in a car. He's moved on to an f150, but I still miss the hell out of that old Lexus.
As a GS 350 owner, I have to agree with Scotty. My V6 has around 82,000 miles on it and is just as tight as the day it rolled off the boat. I love BMWs for their style and driver-focused performance (owned 3 different ones), but those things will crush your soul at the repair shop.
Bmws are great if you have the time and patience to fix them yourself, but like you just said, taking them to the mechanic is a nightmare. My dads mechanic owns around 8 cars(Mercedes and BMWs most of them), but according to him manual labor is usually the most expensive with those vehicles. Parts can be found at discount prices specially for the older models, so according to him, it's not really expensive for him owning all those German cars. Lucky him lol
@@akunamatatalopez3963 I have also heard from BMW owners saying that it's not expensive to maintain if you do stuff yourself. That person suggested to watch TH-cam videos on how to repair stuff yourself.
Can you please do a video on Audi's. Its been my dream luxury car for some time now. I need for my dream to be crushed so I can come back down to earth lol.
Second that.
They’re not bad as you can see of my profile pic my car is an Audi A8, quality is great never had a problem in over 4 years besides a break caliper and washer fluid reservoir
Audi isnt any different from VW. Or skoda or seat. Same cheaply made pieces of junk. Audi is just a luxury brand of the VAG. Its just more complex and the same compatible parts (audi, vw, skoda, seat..) cost alot more for no reason. Why on earth would you need a luxury car anyway? Drive the queen of england to work every dayor what? Jesus. Just buy a Corolla and save everyone from a headache >_>
2Str0k3 sounds like you’re mad cause you’re on a budget.. you guys and people like Scotty think everyone cares about reliability who cares maybe I have to spend some more on maintenance but Atleast I get all the amenities. I don’t think a 94 celica has heated cooled massaging seats or an amazing sound system or all whee drive you know you pay a little more you get a lot more
Audi’s are pretty good rn. My pop bought an A4 Quattro back in ‘99 and sold it in 2008, it was still running great and no issues (he just wanted a new car). He bought an Infinit FX35, had it for 10 years. Now he’s got a 2018 Audi, nothing wrong so far. So from my recommendation I’d say Audi’s and Infiniti’s are reliable as heck😂😂😂😂
Could’ve been a fluke I don’t know. We also had fords and Lincoln’s (Navigator), and they busted all the time. One of them was a complete lemon and ford wouldn’t even do anything about it.
I used to drive a 2008 Lincoln Town car when I was a part-time limo driver in Chitcago. What Scotty says is true. It was a great drive. I got 16-17 mpg in the city and 23-24 mpg on the highway. Why Ford stopped making them is a mystery to me.
The way Scotty talks reminds me of a neighbor that is really good with cars. And i'm from the asia.
I had a g35 for 15 years ran strong with no issues . Super reliable
Brandon Persaud my 2004 g35 had all kinds of problems, I think I just had a bad egg lol
My son drives a 2003 es 300 with 300k+ miles on it. You speak the trusty Scotty, that car still runs and drives like new
Vertigoat has he replaced the timing belt? I have one too at 142k and haven't changed mine yet
AusDaBoss 10 yes, twice. Just had it done before he left for college. It’s been in the family from day one, and has been very well maintained. The only thing that’s bothering me about it is the front o2 sensor is bad and it won’t come out of the exhaust manifold manifold. I suppose that’s a question for Scotty.
Vertigoat it is! And thanks. I'll get mine done soon
It drives like a wet noodle when new so not sure of your point.
mi ke maybe it’s your arms that are the wet noodles you’re feeling? 🤗
I'm do glad to see the Town Car on that list Scotty. I'm a huge fan of Ford's panther bodies (crown Vic, grand Marquise, and twn car) they are the best cars Ford has ever made
This man tells it like it is. I found your channel when I my V8 01 Lexus LS 430 had the trouble code for bad cats at around 200k miles. Spot on Scotty!
I love that your kitty is on the roof of the car behind you just chilling
That’s not his cat, its a stray waiting for dinner to come out of the endless tool pit
Rapid One It IS his Cat! You'll see it on many of his videos just walking around! Scotty loves cats!
Yeah, I love his videos, no frills!
Lol I noticed that lol
You've never seen a cat before? lol
3. Acura TLX/RLX
2. Lincoln Town Car
1. Lexus ES/GS
I would kick the Town Car off the list, it's not even in the same category as a Lexus GS or Acura TL. It's more of a bloated faux luxury car, I wouldn't touch those Ford's with a flagpole 😂😂
TheTramSquad Hmmmm a random TH-cam commenter or a trusted mechanics opinion? Tough call.
@@joshisajedi2461 Those Ford's are a headache with higher mileage, spark plugs seizing in the cylinder heads due to carbon accumulation will result in likely broken spark plugs. If that happens, your going to be up a creek without a paddle. Unless you have a Heli-Coil kit and the proper training to use it that is.😭😭 Those Crown Vic/Town Cars have the 4.6, there are multiple renditions of this engine. The later engines are effected by the design defect of the spark plugs. Also, transmission failure is routine with these Ford's, due to lack of scheduled maintenance usually. Interior build quality is not very good compared to newer Ford's either. They are somewhat reliable but are not exactly flawless 😂 I would stay away from Ford's in general, they are really shiny and nice on the outside when new, but they never really hold up well in my experience.
Non of those are luxury cars that someone really wants to drive, but more like compromise choice. Real hot cars like BMW, Porsche etc are left out by Scotty as usual - no surprise since his crowd is low to low-mid class who can't afford high maintenance cars. They operate on single concept of reliability equals best imaginable car lol. by that logic - bicycle is most reliable and cheaper to fix or even better not having a car is cheaper lol. Plebs
Thank u
Why did I have a feeling we were going to be told about Scotty’s Lexus ES that he got for his wife..🤔
Bought a ES 300 last September 2020. One owner and kept in a garage. Friends thought it was new. 81,000 miles. Service records were up to date. When I purchased it the water pump, idler wheel and belt had just been replaced. Paid 9,000 and am very happy with it. Love your channel.
Ok yeah. I failed to mention my ES300 Is a 2002. Exactly like your wife's car.
Old Lincoln town cars will last over 500,000 miles
Them and Grand Marquis
Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car. 4.6L V8 is a very good engine if maintained.
@Randy JacksonEverybody in this thread is correct. They are bulletproof cars and the suspension is a easy fix. Take the airbags out of the rearend and replace them with a set of $80 coil springs. Problem solved.
adventureoflinkmk2 I’m in my 2004 Lincoln town car now I have 590,000 miles now all I do is change the oil change the gas filter give it a tune up when needed . If you can find a Lincoln town car or a grand marquis with under 100,000 miles buy it cuz it’s a new car 🤪🤪🤪😎
The Lincoln rides smoother the any car ever made
5:47 I think some of ES are assembled in Georgetown Kentucky since two years ago.
This dude knows what’s up!! Thank you, man.
I’m going to let you know, Lexus is number one. Save yourself the headache. Get a Lexus, any of them.
Acura is second best in reliability and better because of vtec.
Welcome To The Madness I agree Toyota is number one in reliability Honda is number two you can’t go wrong with either one.
I actually just got a 2014 gs350 fsport 😍. Put that thing on sport+ mode, and it puts a smile on my face from ear to ear.
It does have a rattling noise, sounds like something loose underneath. Haven't gotten around to what is wrong.
I love Acura’s. I got two of em. They fix that transmission problem in the new Acura’s?
Diego Castillo I recently picked up a 14 is350 fsport. Sport+ is sweet but the car is awesome even on eco mode
I kinda dig these Lincoln towncars. They're cheap,look really good inside, feel comfortable, and even got stamp of approval from Scotty.
teicix Why would you want to drive that old boat? It is not luxury it is a livery car.
The Town cars are often used by car and limo services for airport pick ups and if you request car service. You can't miss them at airports. They look like mini limos and have an excellent ride inside. I always enjoy being picked up in one of these.
They have the engine str8 out of the gt mustangs. Aftermarket parts for them are a dime a dozen. Can beat the living daylights outbof sushi cars all day long.
@@williamkinn5959 dude,because it's cheap to get and cheap to fix.Some people like me just want a car to be comfortable and to drive without having to invest a lot of money in it.I don't mind that it drives like a boat.
@@williamkinn5959 because a car that drives like a boat is literally the definition of a luxury car. It's soft riding, has truly comfortable seats, and is as quiet as a church chapel. Jimmy, these are the three pillars of which every car must pass to be a luxury car.
This is one of the most accurate videos to date Scotty! Acura TLX or RLX both are priced great! People been sleeping in the Lincoln Towncar for awhile! And you can hardly ever go wrong with Lexus!
My old 99 Infinity I 90 was a great car. I bought it used with over 100k miles, drove it for years, gave it to my daughter who drove it for 6 years,and now my nephew has driven it for a couple of years. The key is finding a competent mechanic and staying away from the dealer.
You should consider one. I own a 2015 Infiniti Q50 and so far it's been perfect. At 31k miles the interior looks brand new. There are no signs of wear on the seats, or anywhere else. It's an amazing car.
Infinity, just like Nissan, isn't what it used to be. 99 Infinity is great, 15 Infinity is terrible.
@@georgedang449 that's disappointing. I think that's one of the best cars I've ever owned. And if I hadn't given it to my daughter, I'd still be driving it.
@@georgedang449 jokes on you. There's no such thing as Infinity. It's Infiniti. And if that's your opinion you probably should try one.
@@Ghost-my1tr It's a fact. Nissan quality and durability has been nosediving ever since the French takeover. There is more than a decade's reliability records supporting it.
Rev up your Panther Platform Lincoln Town Car/Mercury Grand Marquis/Ford Crown Vic
More reliable than any jag
Omar Tinoco don’t forget the sable. My 2008 sable has 250k miles and still running strong, and I’ve put over 100k miles on it delivering pizzas, still original starter and alternator. Only replaced valve cover gaskets, a transmission mount, and an output speed sensor, and then just regular maintenance (air filters, tie rods, struts, etc.) great car, most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned
+TheDrizzyKush 100,000 miles? That is fantastic because delivering pizzas puts a strain on a transmission with jack rabbit start and go and a lot of time spent with the engine at idle speed as well can overheat a transmission. No wonder they make such fantastic police cars.
this summer, ill go to find me a nice police crown vic, cant wait.
@@francoisuntel6238 There is a REASON you don't see a lot of crown vic police cars on the road, you imbecile. Is this crown vic stuff some religious cult thing? There is no data to support such claims of reliability, such anecdotes from imbeciles and Scotty himself.
I have a 1993 Town Car Jack Nicklaus Edition that I bought for $500 and I love it!
500 dollars worth of car! Can I get an amen
I have an 03 town car limousine lol
I have 2 BMWs that I work on myself. My 1999 328i is approaching 300K miles and it’s aging very well. It still drives like new and pulls hard.
DookB mines a 2016
Truth is unless you know your way around the vehicles and secure reasonable prices for repairs and maintenance any car will run well, but i feel like bimmers really started messing up in the 2000'a
U got any proof billy
2014 lincoln mkz. Best purchase ive ever made. Bought i used with only 17k miles. Gor it for 18k and they still gave me the 5 yr 60 mil warrenty. 30-35 mpg. Havent havd a single problem in 3 years.
Those are dope too
Nice but once you get into the higher miles expect a turbo to go bad but that’s it not to bad
Amen Scotty! As a former Acura employee and a regular car guy. Acura are def worth every penny. HALF THE vehicles that came in were either brand spanking new or had OVER 200,000 on them an they ran great. Such an amazing product.
"Old man car" love this guy
I own a 2012 panamera s and my wife has the 2010 cayenne v6 since 2016 no major issues only tires,oil changes and brakes and filters.
Never drove a Lincoln but I did drive the younger brother Mercury Grand Marquis and they were pretty nice. Tons of power too for a boat
Cameron Johnson I had a Grand Marquis before I got my Lincoln and they are almost exactly the same. The Lincoln just has more comfort features.
Town cars are great. Good power, reliable drivetrain, amazing ride. Can't feel a single pot hole lol
Honestly there are at least 8 choices here, not just one. Mercury Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car, Ford Mustang GT, Ford Crown Victoria, Ford Thunderbird (2V 4.6) and Mercury Marauder, Lincoln MKVIII, Ford Mustang Cobra (4V 4.6). There was also a FWD Lincoln but you should probably steer clear of that one. They aren't perfect cars but the drivetrain of all of them are quite similar. There are niggles (the airbag suspensions fail for one) but none of these cars hold their value like Scotty's Lexus ES300 AKA a Toyota Camry with leather.
I had a ‘00 And it was a bad car. Bad interior quality. Very primitive awful boatlike suspension that made the cars body rise all the way- it felt like it was going to go airborne at 80+mph. I drive a ‘90 Jaguar XJ6 now and it feels stable at any speed, it’s just as comfortable over bumps and can actually corner. Sad to think 80s European sedans have much more advanced suspensions than a car that was made until 2011.
@@freddyr439 if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I much rather have a Lincoln Town Car land yacht then a Jaguar, mostly because most Jaguars have junk reliability.
Those Town Cars are definitely tanks! I've seen several with 300K+ miles!
Mine had 550k before I sold it but still not in bad shape
My old 98 Mercedes E class was a BEAST. Took a huge beating and kept rolling.
King Ulysses I think MB changed dramatically in the quality after 2006 when the new body came out ...
@@lauranyc4966 Downfall started in 1992 with the W140 S-class. Only got worse as the tech got more complex.
This just sold me on buying the 2016 RC 350
Let me guess before I watch, mostly Acura and Lexus
Lincoln MKZ AWD!!!
Should that surprise you?
Reliability is what it is. They're known to do really well, have a ton of data proving it, and he's an honest guy, so of course it's no surprise.
You forgot Toyota 😂😂
yep, he is so late with his information. Genesis is number 1 right now according to JD Powers, with no problems. Lexus did not have a good start, remember the Vigor or the first 2 GS's, not good and none survived. Acura has patchy quality at best with Transmission issues, bad paint etc.... I think the reason he forgets Genesis is he has never had to work on one. just saying
As an Acura owner, I approve this video
TL owner, chiming in!
2005 TSX 6MT 240K miles, original clutch, runs like new, interior like new
I have a 2002 RL and I like it.
13 TL. What you got?
2010 and 2012 TLs - great cars
One of the best mechanics I've had the pleasure of knowing who's main job was going out to fix lorries or in the states semis, he always said never buy a BMW all you are buying is an over complicated car and a money pit to repair,he actually reminds me of scotty very honest and willing to help others with his knowledge, over 20 years I bought my cars off him and every one of them gave me over 180,000 miles and 2 gave me over200,000 miles and his philosophy was the same as scottys make sure they are serviced regularly and when buying make sure they have a full service history
My Uncle bought Lincoln town car back in 1998 and he still uses it to this day, it got 440k miles and he never had any major issue but he is the type of man that always take care of his things
owned bmw 7, 6 coupe, 5, and X5 . all are endless moneypits (some model are not as money pit as the other, but avg, prepare 10-20 k after 5 years or 20k miles.)
also owned 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser and 2011 Lexus LX570 . never had any problem after 90k miles
I've owned two 650i's and a 640i and all had the same damn issue... oil leaks, misfires and more...hung up BMW and picked up a 2018 Lexus IS250 and love it!!!!
@@Chiefs816 Only with no power or driving dynamic to begin with.
Gets you to point a to b with all the amenities and has plenty of pickup and decent mileage. All most people care about. My parent have a BMW, I've driven it, the navigation and audio system sucks, it's has a bit better acceleration. It doesn't actualy drive better imo, I'm in calif, you can't even go very fast here, it's all traffic
phillip ransburg ..yet you kept buying BMW, you obviously had a love/hate relationship with them
Lexus it is
OK after hearing this old man wax poetic about cars I'm going to hold on to my 2003 Lincoln Town Car
great cars. also the suspension is not as soft as people think as long as your sway bar links arent worn out.
@@1riqoispliskin Yeah, the only problem is too much gas consumption
Keep dropping content Scotty and I’ll keep supporting I love what you do keep it up! Thank you for your hard work!
I ran heating/cooling ducts to the rear seats to my 1965 VW beetle, it's now a luxury vehicle
I know a guy who has couple of those towncars for business. One has almost 300k miles and another one 800k!! And still going good)
The key is the maintenance... Engine oil every 5k transmission 25k ....@$ well the differential. .. that's it baby.
I was looking for a German until I started watching scotty and he scared me so I got a 2013 2wd Acura tl and I love it , all I gotta do is change transmission oil, brakes and sway bars
😂😂
GOOD CHOICE, BUD!
Shouldn't have scared you by telling the truth. He just helped you make a wiser decision.
@@southernbrew4252 yea my friend just told me it's gonna cost him 1000$ for 1 suspension for his 3 series
He’s right... you made the right choice: i leave in uk and i bought a VW last year with 96K on the clock since then there is no 1 F..***night I sleep properly always something wrong with this money pit. Here you can buy a 2005 IS200 2.0 petrol with less than 90K for £1,200 that’s my next car.

own a 16 tlx advanced with sh-awd. always felt my car was heavily underrated compared to 3 series, c class and a4... even to the g70. despite that i love every second of driving it especially with super handling even tho its not as nimble feeling as a 3 series. glad you appreciate the tlx scotty!
Hey scotty, I admire your videos! ive been wondering what the best hybrid vehicles are? Just wondering what your thoughts are on that.
An Acura, a Lexus and OMG a Lincoln!
A Lincoln!(gasp)
Will it be found on roadside dead?
Nope. The Lincoln Towncar is bulletproof.
Town Car is a high mileage champion...
Town cars are known for 1/2 million miles on original engines
Lincoln rules!
"Lexus V8s tend to break down with high mileage"
*1UZ-FE has entered the chat*
So true! We have a 1UZ with 140k miles, AND a 2UZ with 200k. Both have had no engine problems so far. Only thing is... you can't forget about timing belts as they are interference
I found that some Lexus/Toyota V8 are high cost to maintain as they age.
Especually ones with timing belt instead of chains.
Yeah bullshit. I worked on a 92 SC400 and the rotor inside one of the dual distributors failed horribly causing a fire and a bunch of other issues. It was hell to fix. I wouldn't touch one of those stupid things with a 50ft pole.
@@digitalkoh Timing belt jobs on those aren't too expensive if you are able to do it yourself, (dealers are a rip off though). I've done it on a 1uz and 2uz, each one was a few hundred dollars for all the parts... that's not very expensive over the course of 90-100k mile intervals
@@herbienbrian2 I don't have any experience with the first gen motors. The only ones I've ever worked with have been coil on plug...which apparently must be the more reliable setup then
How about a nice used luxury wagon???
I'm weird. I accept this. Just tired of the SUV apocalypse
They are more stylish.
Family estates give u space with preaty much no compromises in handling and performance
Lexus IS SportCross. Might be hard to find though, I don't think I've ever even seen one in real life! The Lexus CT is pretty wagon like
Ewwwww. Never will i buy suv. Hate it.
I'm glad Scotty approves of my RLX.
JAPAN loves you and i agree with you !
I have 165,000 miles on my 2007 Lexus IS350. The V6 engine is great.
how many Kilometers is 165,000 miles?
@@lindokuhlemathope5236 X1.6 =264,000 km
I have 251000 on my jeep , thats equal to 100000000km
Half of my country drives with 300,000+ miles 1.9 tdi engines :D
Wow, Scotty, I am really enjoying all of your TH-cam videos. You are giving me an education about cars that I really need too. Thank you.
God do I ever love this mans energy
He's got that, but he's that way all the time, I'd h8 working for him 😂
Scotty obviously ripping on the LS400/LS430. But he is certainly right, the V8's are harder to work on, but I like the power and style.
Hi Scotty- I’m a girl who never used to care about car stuff but I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos! You’re awesome l!!! Can you do a video on the best used SUV to buy? Thank you.
I have a Lincoln Town Car 2009 and I love it. Never any issues
I'm in the market for another car. Am here studying Scottys videos so I can make a great choice. Thanks Scotty!
What is love ?
Answer:
Love is a friendship inspires by beauty and truth, and sustains by loving-kindness;
The rule of friendship means that there must be a mutual understanding between them;
each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other.
Always using friendly and sincere words.
I love Scotty Kilmer's advice!
Thanks for the definition because I don't think that song by Haddaway ever really explained it.
I called all 3 before You began Scotty! Toyota, Honda and a Ford Panther!
I've had good luck with the N52 equipped (non turbo) e9x bmws. Not to mention they are very affordable and look great
Scotty is great with a tremendous amount of knowledge...but I think the Lexus LS 400-430-460 are among the greatest cars of all time
Honorable mention: Mercedes Benz w124. It's old but that's when having a Mercedes actually meant something.
It is a strong car but nowhere near the confort of a Lincoln
I have a W124 400E (V8)...222150 miles and No issues...
@@knightride9635 bullshit they're super comfy
Best car I ve ever owned. And also it was very comfortable
I love the W124 coupé.
You are so right about the Mercedes cars! They break down all the time!! My parents bought one of those and it was junk! Things breaking left and right!
My first car back in 2006 was 1994 Lincoln Towncar and I loved that car. It rode smooth due to the air suspension, had alot of room and I lived in one state and worked in another. The money I spend was mostly on oil changes every month or month in a half due to the daily high miles. I am thinking of purchasing another lincoln town car for commuting to work.
Scotty, thanks for posting your videos. You now have another new subscriber.
The Lincoln Town Car is a great choice for this list. I live in FL, where there are tons of retirees and big American land yachts. I often see Town Cars in very good condition, with under 100K for $2000-$3000. They're reliable, parts are cheap, and they built so many panther-body cars (and trucks, mustangs, etc.) with that 4.6L. I'd like to get one as a second vehicle, so I don't have to drive my work truck (an F150 with a 4.6L) all the time.
The 4.6l are garbage engines
@@DylanL69 How so? These engines are known to last a good long time. Personally, I've owned an Expedition and an F150's with the 4.6L V8, and they both ran for over 250K without issues. And I currently have a 1998 F-150 work truck with 190K and the engine is still running great.
Where do you see the most Lincolns? What cities in FL? I'm just suggesting that you buy one in good condition soon because They sell quickly where I live.
I see alot of them in the junkyard
@@DylanL69 Oh, is that where you work? No wonder you're so cranky.
Dude. Your so right....my 2009 Lincoln....I just got rid of it. 284,000 miles. One starter, several sets of brakes,replaced rotors. Nothing else. Nothing. Best engine ever
Been watching him since I got my first car watching all diy stuff.b7 years latern I'm still learning
I love the Town car! I have an 84 model as my daily for the time being and it is so comfortable and an absolute joy to drive. Definitely the best $500 I ever spent 😎
Both my Gs 430s (2002, 2005) have around 200k mi. on them. And they run like champs! I receive great pleasure in picking on any 2008 bmw and below.
Thanks for the post. Great video. 😂😂😂😂😂
My 2005 Ford crown vic lx sport is amazing. Only major repair was a water pump in 8 years that I have had it. Those 4.6 v8s are bulletproof.
I own a 2006 gs 300 , and you're absolutely right scotty i truly love that car
5:19 LMAO there is a cat on his car
U are the best of the best Scotty
God blessings
My grandfather owned a Lincoln Towncar. He loved it.
Thanks Scotty. you're still my hero.
a lot of lincoln are so underrated. the 3.7 ford v6 engines are great
I've owned an Infiniti M35x for the past 10 years and it's been great. Very powerful and handles like a dream. Except for changing the oil, brake pads/rotors, etc. it's been maintenance free.
I was going to go with a cadillac, cause I'm a fan of gm but after researching them I kept looking. I read nothing but good things about Infiniti and ended up getting a G37, so far I love it.
Infiniti makes good cars. Had a 05 G35 for a few years. Only problems I had were electrical like replacing the alternator or a sensor going bad. I'd take an Infiniti over all the cars Scotty chose.
Whoa! I think you just wiped out Road and Track, Car and Driver, Edmunds, KBB, and Consumer Reports with this one video! Thank you!
an honnest mechanic who is not affraid to voice his opinions. What a guy.
Heya Scotty . Would love to see your take on how Canada with our winters would affect your lists. Personally I find cars seem to die much faster here so having a motor that goes 300,000 miles doesn’t mean much.
You da man Scotty ,, long time fan ,,God bless .
Man great relief when I just bought a 2016 Acura TLX 2 days ago and the first car was just that. I got it with 13k miles which was a great buy
While reading the comments i started laughing at the hand and arm waving. It just doesn't stop.
