@@scottykilmer we know you'll never quit, you don't wanna become your grandfather at the end of his life (which was a sad story) keep on keeping on Scotty you're the best sir!
You don't want a car without airbags. Or a car that is welded together from 2 different cars. Or a car that has an engine that is going to go out any minute
@@slammedcc I would get a 2010 at least. Dailying a 97' anything is dangerous for you and the people around you. Please consider getting a newer car because it can really make a difference.
Scotty, this is easily one of the most useful informational videos you have ever produced. I recommend to anyone searching for a good used vehicle to save this video and re-watch it again and again. With your amazingly vast knowledge you very casually presented instructions on at least a dozen important subjects/aspects of used car analysis and purchasing. This is a 5-star 10-minute video!
I recently bought a 94 Toyota pickup. It’s got dents, scratches almost everywhere, every body panel is beat up, but it runs strong. It was overheating so the guy got rid of it. All it was, was a thermostat. 2 bolts, and a $7 part later, haven’t had that problem since. I drove it around for an hour on a 100° day, temp stayed normal. Let’s hope it keeps going
When I worked in a "junk" yard (we call them wreckers here), we triggered the airbags on purpose, because here in Australia, it is illegal to sell second hand ones.
i loooved my 09’ Accord. someone hit me in a hit and run and all it needed was a new passenger door and air bags. Total loss with the insurance company. if I knew what I know now I would’ve fought harder to keep it and repair it.
Same thing for me - bought my kid a '98 Accord EX from an elderly couple. Garaged, clean as a whistle w/ low miles,. fully loaded. She rear ended someone and insurance totaled it. I almost cried. Didn't find out until afterward that I could have kept it and had it fixed myself. That was 6 years ago and it still pains me.
My last new car was purchased in 1979. Since then I have bought nothing but salvaged vehicles and have saved a bundle. Doing most all repair myself certainly helps.
My 2018 VW Beetle was just totaled. In Virginia, they DO NOT have to use new parts. The insurance company (GEICO in this case) IS allowed to use used parts. Your state is obviously better than Virginia.
People rarely "fall" into good deals like this. Wise people step carefully, avoid the plethora of bad deals, then choose the only good deal they'll ever find.
@@ReaISouI Chevy is one of the best one can get, but it's a matter of opinions...very cheap parts and if you take care of them they will treat you right

I'm having Great luck with my repaired 2020 Civic, Don't be afraid of a little broken plastic , it's when unibody damage is done, then it's a no go for me. If the alignment is off and it can't be adjusted that's what you DON'T want. Make sure you have a Scotty like mechanic to check them out first ❗Because it's fun saving $ when you really can.
I'm a senior that has been saving silver to get a car. When silver hits $100 an oz ill be ready to buy. I'll be watching your videos to help me choose a good car. Thank you for all the hard work you do to help people like me.
As well as being able to inspect photos of the vehicle in damaged condition, you should also ask to see the damage appraisal that was used to total the vehicle. Avoid flood damage vehicles or rollovers at all costs.
I am looking for a house RN and would even pay extra to move into Scotty's vicinity! Just to have a straight shooter honest mechanic🤯 at least he has lots of content online as a consolation prize to viewers like me! Keep up the quality content!
I like those FRS: BRZ/ GT86s, fun cars to drive almost bought one. That’s a hell of a deal for $9,000. Even if was wrecked at one point in time. Looks like they did a nice job fixing it up.
He knows exactly how to make people not so worried about certain things, if your check engines not on and you don't feel anything wrong, don't worry about it
I used to wonder if it's a wise decision to vest in a salvage car as a track car You can put in aftermarket airbags or just put in a full 5 point harness without airbags
Good Monday afternoon to use Scotty hope you and yours are doing well today, I bought a few salvage vehicles fix them up and use them for a while they are good weekend projects!🧰🙌👍🍺
The only problem I have with used airbags concerns cars that get totaled before having an airbag-recall replacement done. If it were my car that needed an airbag, I would get a used one, but I would make sure I had the VIN of the car it came out of, and I'd check with airbag-recall database to see if that car had the replacement done. Other than that, I'd have no problem with it.
I just bought a used car from a Toyota/Ford dealership and during the test drive I told the salesman that the Airbag Warning Light was on and he promised to fix it. I called the next day to make a appointment to get the airbags fixed. I was told that they WERE NOT going to fix it because I cost to much. I spoke to 2 different attorneys and told the car dealership what I was told and THE DEALERSHIP GLADLY FIXED THE AIRBAGS AT NO COST TO ME. They had to have a different dealership fix the airbags, I was told by that dealership that it was $800.00 plus their labor charges.
I do keep my cars a long time. I still have my 1972 Chevelle I had in high school long time ago. I also have an old one owner Saturn SL1 series made in Spring Hill Tennessee. Pretty base car. No Electric windows, manual crank windows. Someone was going to buy it but she didn't want manual windows so I got the car and I definitely wanted manual windows. I just keep my cars, but I also maintain them. Never abuse them as I'm good to them then they're good back. That why I almost bought a salvaged fixed automobile because hell, when I'm done with any car, trust me they're all done with anyway.
actually, around 80% of Mercedes c and e classes in my country were American salvage vehicles that were brought and fixed then sold for a much lower price than dealerships.
Hey Scotty this episode was an awesome one. I learned a few tricks from you. Very funny too. 😄 specially with those pictures you show when you're laughing. Nice touch!!!!
Also own a salvage titled car. Sadly found out afterward since it was imported here from america, similair story here with the front end wreck, no serious issues so far other than cruisecontrol not working
11:01 *Guy walking by minding his own business.* Scotty: "$9,000." *Guy instantly disappears* Looks like the guy was too afraid to continue down the road, Mr. Scotty.
Should’ve made this last year lol I paid $1500 for a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and it got a bad alternator coolant flange is broken can’t seem to get it running lol
However, salvage or not, if insurance companies have a record of SERIOUS DAMAGE (that includes former airbag deployment) then your basic insurance may be significantly higher. Have your insurer quote you on any VIN, before paying for the car.
Its the same Cartype that you show us last Week.And they can make many Fails with the Airbag or the repair of the Accident.They can had hidden Troubles or simply Rust problems. I dont know the Laws in your Country,in my Country a hidden Accident ,is a reason to withdraw the Contract from the Seller anytime.If you had one Accident, the Insurance pay for the repairing and if you sell the Car,thats a sign of hidden Trouble, that you dont find out at a simple Testdrive.A Dealer would give you a warranty on that Car.But can that give you that Backyardrepairman and Seller?
Usually, with salvaged vehicles, issues arise a year or two down the line.. Most likely, at a minimum, the paint will start peeling, then electical, mechanical and suspension problems are sure to come. As always, I hope I'm wrong on this one
Usually when airbags are deployed, the insurance totals the car. Unfortunately, now that bumpers are plastic, they are easily damaged and are expensive to repair
What if a dealership sold you a car that only had “cosmetic damage” and you take it to another mechanic and turns out head gasket and cylinder head is cracked and there’s much more damage under the hood? I’m in this situation right now. They wouldn’t let me take it to a mechanic before buying the car and they pushed the car straight into PDI inspection. I’ve only had my 2017 Chevy Malibu with 44,000 miles on it for 10 days now and have only driven it three times.
Never let anyone push you into buying a car . You need someone with mechanical knowledge, to bring with you , when buying a used car . You may have some luck if you contact the Attorney General of your state and tell them what happened . many times that will help . Also contact a local TV station consumer complaints and tell them about it . The " Dealer " might not want the bad publicity on tv. but DONT wait Do something about it soon !
You should have walked when they pressured you. And, no inspection, no sale. I would consider legal action at this point, but as Jay Hockley says here, move quickly.
Jay good advice! I will do that! Bernie the car I had before, which I used to trade in, wouldn’t make it another two months. I am the only one with transportation in the house hold and I take several people to work. I definitely was pressured and naive to think that this dealership was going to put me in a honest working car when I was honest about mine. This is my second car and it was way newer then the last one so I thought I was getting a good deal. But it is currently sitting at the dealership and I’m waiting to hear back what they found compared to the other mechanics. Will be contacting a lawyer in my state tomorrow.
@@stephaniesmith4105 I feel bad about your situation, yes, move ahead and threaten legal action. Local media attention might help also. Good luck for a good outcome.
Good Afternoon Scotty, I really enjoy watching your show I am learning I think women should learn about cars there driving so in the future we don't get scammed by auto industry, I have been watching you since nov 2020 and I bought a 2004 Tahoe well I love it but i was on my own and i didn't inspect it like i should of my brain is in dumb mode right now going through a divorce and don't know any man that could of gone with me anyway I really have a fear of little cars and with me being on my own I wanted something i could feel safe i don't drive alot but ive tried to get the knowledge of this tahoe i fixed the back window which was a task but proud of myself now ive notice it's leaking i thought the oil so i bought a white sheet of paper put under the car and it's the transmission leaking now here comes the fear that I got screwed big time when i bought it it was night i had to take uber for the first time and stupid me bought it not knowing the history of it the guy said his wife goes to LA once a month and she loves it but they don't have enough parking and her parents just moved in with them and they didn't have parking well it hadn't been registered since 2018 i had to pay all that i paid what he asked 4500$ way over my budget then i took care of it now it's been spotting since i got it but i notice it is getting a more bigger i put transmission fluid in put white paper and it leaked alot out. can you please give me advice what i need to look at this is so scary to me cause i cant even live in it if i had know choice with spending all i saved for to be on my own this is why im really in stupid mode now 59 yrs old first time i ever bought a used vehicle and on my own now all my family gone i should of stuck with my bicycle .Thank You so much for sharing your time and knowledge to us.
I bought my 2014 Toyota Tacoma. It was salvage. It was only in water from bed to have the cabin. I have 4 door cabin. Soo all interior was brand new. So with 16,000 miles on it. I got it for $21,000
Good afternoon,Mr.Kilmer,thank you,for this very interesting information,regarding used cars! You explain so very well about cars and how a person needs to go about,buying,checking it out! Thank you,for this,segment,Mr.Kilmer.

Hi Scotty, from St. Louis...
I retired after 35 years at a dealership body shop. Trust me, it's the damage underneath the plastic parts that "count"

Even if you get a nice " Salvage " car , plan on keeping it long time because when it comes time to sell it , many people won't want
it .

Happy belated Father’s Day Scotty ...
Scotty should be running Everything he knows more about cars than anyone else is the business, and A good guy all at the same time!
Specifically, where do you look to find the brand of transmission?
Ask Google
Find the exact model number of your car (on the side of the driver side door usually) and research it
My Alfa 156 was throwing airbag code. The problem was withed with HiFi spray over the contact under the seat.
I haveno car, been a while since I turned a torque wrench.. but I watch these videos all the time.
That's a good looking car I'm gonna look into these even though I'll have to look at used but that's ok with me
Get it new
Insurance company do use used parts they even give body shops a list of wrecking yards that have the lowest parts prices_ Riverside collision Repair
Scotty you the MVP ! Super useful knowledge .

D-4S refers to the fuel injection system, which is made by Toyota, not the boxer engine, which is made by Subaru.
Should’ve made this last year lol I paid $1500 for a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and it got a bad alternator coolant flange is broken can’t seem to get it running lol
Ouch man
Fix it
Good price for small problem.
that's actually not too bad, as long as the engine isn't blown or something haha
So Scotty. What happened after you cleared the codes?
However, salvage or not, if insurance companies have a record of SERIOUS DAMAGE (that includes former airbag deployment) then your basic insurance may be significantly higher.
Have your insurer quote you on any VIN, before paying for the car.
This was an awesome video that stayed on topic way longer than usual. Super information dense. Loved it
Thank you Scotty.. from queensland Australia...💯💯💯
Its the same Cartype that you show us last Week.And they can make many Fails with the Airbag or the repair of the Accident.They can had hidden Troubles or simply Rust problems.

3:11 the dogs going crazy
Usually when airbags are deployed, the insurance totals the car. Unfortunately, now that bumpers are plastic, they are easily damaged and are expensive to repair
Scotty you should hire an apprentice to pass all your knowledge onto!
He's retired.
He has over 4 million apprentices learning from him. You are one of them.
The airbag sensor is also called a clock spring right?
What if a dealership sold you a car that only had “cosmetic damage” and you take it to another mechanic and turns out head gasket and cylinder head is cracked and there’s much more damage under the hood? I’m in this situation right now. They wouldn’t let me take it to a mechanic before buying the car and they pushed the car straight into PDI inspection.

Never let anyone push you into buying a car .
You need someone with mechanical knowledge, to bring with you , when buying a used car .
You may have some luck if you contact the Attorney General of your state and tell them what happened .
many times that will help .
Also contact a local TV station consumer complaints and tell them about it .
The " Dealer " might not want the bad publicity on tv.
but DONT wait
Do something about it soon !
You should have walked when they pressured you. And, no inspection, no sale. I would consider legal action at this point, but as Jay Hockley says here, move quickly.
Jay good advice! I will do that! Bernie the car I had before, which I used to trade in, wouldn’t make it another two months. I am the only one with transportation in the house hold and I take several people to work. I definitely was pressured and naive to think that this dealership was going to put me in a honest working car when I was honest about mine. This is my second car and it was way newer then the last one so I thought I was getting a good deal. But it is currently sitting at the dealership and I’m waiting to hear back what they found compared to the other mechanics. Will be contacting a lawyer in my state tomorrow.
@@bernieschiff5919 Yes, find a good attorney.
@@stephaniesmith4105 I feel bad about your situation, yes, move ahead and threaten legal action. Local media attention might help also. Good luck for a good outcome.
Salvage is not junk....salvage if fixable...plus...after is fix....gotta pass inspection.....a total car is only good for parts
Good Afternoon Scotty, I really enjoy watching your show I am learning I think women should learn about cars there driving so in the future we don't get scammed by auto industry, I have been watching you since nov 2020 and I bought a 2004 Tahoe well I love it but i was on my own and i didn't inspect it like i should of my brain is in dumb mode right now going through a divorce and don't know any man that could of gone with me anyway I really have a fear of little cars and with me being on my own I wanted something i could feel safe i don't drive alot but ive tried to get the knowledge of this tahoe i fixed the back window which was a task but proud of myself now ive notice it's leaking i thought the oil so i bought a white sheet of paper put under the car and it's the transmission leaking now here comes the fear that I got screwed big time when i bought it it was night i had to take uber for the first time and stupid me bought it not knowing the history of it the guy said his wife goes to LA once a month and she loves it but they don't have enough parking and her parents just moved in with them and they didn't have parking well it hadn't been registered since 2018 i had to pay all that i paid what he asked 4500$ way over my budget then i took care of it now it's been spotting since i got it but i notice it is getting a more bigger i put transmission fluid in put white paper and it leaked alot out. can you please give me advice what i need to look at this is so scary to me cause i cant even live in it if i had know choice with spending all i saved for to be on my own this is why im really in stupid mode now 59 yrs old first time i ever bought a used vehicle and on my own now all my family gone i should of stuck with my bicycle .Thank You so much for sharing your time and knowledge to us.
I bought my 2014 Toyota Tacoma. It was salvage. It was only in water from bed to have the cabin. I have 4 door cabin. Soo all interior was brand new. So with 16,000 miles on it. I got it for $21,000
If that car doesn’t give you more codes. Your good to go. Except you might get a code red when you see the repair bills later on down rye line
Your videos are super informative
