Scotty, a few videos ago you suggested an additive to run thru a car after replacing a PCV valve that was causing oil to get into the vacuum and air lines? What was that additive?
Alternatively, a Chevrolet Prizm! AKA Toyota Corrola. My 2000 Prizm has a little over 105k miles and only have replaced tires, brakes, battery, muffler and general fluids/filters maintenance 😊
My Grandpa had a 1956 Chevrolet Pickup truck that He tied the door shut on for years until My Dad got ahold of it with the welder one day. It worked like a new door when Dad got finished with it. My Grandpa is long gone now, but I still remember Dad fixing the door for Him.
Scotty once said : he only puts 600 miles a year on his Celica .. that's why the car lasts .. will it hold up if he puts a 10k+ a year ?? .. I mean , any car will last forever if you only put a 1000 miles a year ..
I bought a white on black 06 CVPI for around that price in great condition with only 104,334 miles (971 idle hours). With that many idle hours it's considered a unicorn in the used police car market. And if you do the math 134,334 miles + (971 idle hours) × (33 miles on engine per idle hour) you get 136,377 engine running miles. When I test drove it, it ran like a champ. Great performance and response, and was fast from a roll for a 4,000 lbs tank. When driving normal, "It rides like an old Cadillac." Now it has 148k + miles (1400 + idle hours), is still going strong, the a/c still works, and is still riding like an old Cadillac. So to me my CVPI was also a steal. No other used car can give you ride comfort, room, high performance, and can handle abuse like the CVPI. If you want an affordable, well built luxury car, buy a used Lexus. If you want an affordable well built car with room and comfort, buy any of the panther platform cars. If you want an affordable well built high performance car, with room and comfort, that can handle any road, and any style of driving, mine's aggressive, then buy a good used CVPI, you won't regret it.
That's awesome that your keeping it that long. One of my buddies bought a 2002 Subaru Legacy in 2005 and is still driving it and has no intention of buying a different car.
@@MyLifeThai371 Thank you. They are great cars. She had 61,000 miles when purchased. Happened to be my birthday when bought. It was a long & difficult search for a car back then. The more I see of what is packed into new cars, the more I favor & enjoy what I have. Never thought I would think that way. Very freeing & Blessed.
@@sleepyhollow783 yepp you are definitely blessed to have such a car that can last that long! I pray my Acura TL can make it up to those numbers or higher 👍🏽
The beauty of used cars is you can own multiple for a fraction of the price of a new car. The monthly insurance is much cheaper too! Nothing beats having paid off cars!
100% agree. I found a 13 Toyota Corolla on Fb marketplace for sale with 150k miles for $3500 and instantly bought it, huuuge win for me and insurance is super cheap
Yup..if you can't pay for it then really you csnt afford it..and when the majority realize this and not get a 60k car while living in a 750 a month apartment, the finances would be better
You hit the mail on the head. We have 4 vehicles paid off. 4th gen 4Runner with 221k miles, YJ wrangler with TJ frame and lots of upgrades, 2003 accord with lots of work done and a K swap engine, an a 3rd gen Cummins with 298k miles. Nothing like no payments.
@@killerkennyas Exactly. When I was younger I would do that, and there is no way I would ever make payments on cars. I own 4 and learned to fix them as much as I can.
I had a simple 2WD Toyota pickup with the automatic. It had 175K on it when I got it. I drove it another 30-40K and sold it to a fellow. Came across him a few years later and it was still running great with 300K. Original tranny!
At 61 yrs old I love my 94 Toyota previa AWD with 230k miles. Driving in Indiana with snowy pothole filled roads it's perfect. So check your ego save your money and listen to Scotty . He's a Man of wisdom 🤪
Got a 2007 Lexus GS 350 AWD and it has never disappointed me. Powerful, luxurious and smooth. Toyota really knows what they are doing when it comes to manufacturing these vehicles.
The only new car I have ever had is my 2018 Corolla SE. I knew the reputation for extreme reliability and to me it really has a nice sporty look. Four years later and it has not had one single problem! The only issue is that it rides rough on bumpy roads because of the low profile tires, but on the other hand, it corners quite well. I test drove a Honda Civic when I was looking at new cars, it was also nice but the Corolla was a little quieter and surprisingly it was a little smoother running in my opinion. I usually buy used cars to save money but at the time I was driving 60 plus miles a day for work and was tired of fixing my 06 Trailblazer every other week... I take good care of my cars and the Toyota Corolla has never let me down, it runs just as nice as the day I drove it off the lot!
I love to watch your channel, your exactly like my grandpa who owned his own shop in Chico California. Common sense is so missed, so hard to find these days, so Thank you for your assistance and time to help us all.
I drive a Toyota Avensis here in Ireland. In USA,it would be between a Corolla and a Camry....nice car,loads of extras. I know a guy who sold his Avensis couple years back,with 500,000kilometres on clock and its still going strong!! The only geriatric cars you will see on our roads are all Toyotas...says it all
My 2005 Matrix just hit 221K and it is an annoyingly reliable car. Minimal oil consumption, original everything except water pump and suspension. Even the axles and bushing are all original. I still keep it because I can drive it rough without worry about it. Maintenance is cheap as heck and I change oil myself.
So, what I'm hearing is that you are really ready to stop looking at it but because it is so reliable you would feel dumb? Lol... I had an old ugly 400k mile Camry that I drove hard for similar reasons. Ended up giving it away. Engine still purred, trans still good but suspension was bad.
At 4:04 he should have opened the hatch again so he could say.. "if you never wanna miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell" Gotta love Scotty!! He's da man 😂😂👍👍
Speaking of CV joints, I had a laugh yesterday Scotty when I was leaving the parking lot of a grocery store: There half on the road and half on the driveway into the store was a Dodge Caravan (5th gen) with it's flashers on and the passenger-side CV joint laying on the road under it! Never seen a car cough up a CV joint on the road before, wow.
Well, to be fair , it happenes to anything with enough miles. Even happened to my wife's 09 Honda fit 5 spd sport this winter , it was a pretty cheap fix though
@@Dakiraun Yeah, I'm glad it happened leaving my work, not on the highway on her way there, she picked me up for some reason that night, it could have been worse, because she went a few miles out of hr way to get me that night, if she hadn't had to, it could have blown in the highway the next day on her way to work, the extra distance she went that night, is about the distance the house is from the highway. I know I made that more complicated than I needed to. Lol
I did pop mine but was doing reverse donuts with my brother in the car after ten times around I was thinking of stopping but the car decides for me.....loved my z24
bought a 1966 F-250 Camper Special in 1988 for $350.00 (22 yr old truck at the time) still have it (now a 55 yr old truck) and use it when i need to pull a heavy trailer (about 8 mpg - 50-55mph top speed) looks like junk, but mechanically excellent shape
Hey Scotty! My 2010 prius bought in 2012 for $14.6k was 30k new. Used as a taxi it now has 340k miles. I retired 2 years ago. Any hybrid owner needs to find a good independent hybrid mechanic. I did, good used big battery $1200 installed, mine went to 60% at 210k. Front strut assemblies used 14k miles $150 installed, my left mount started making noise at 250k, etc. Used Hybrid parts are out there, my guy bought wrecked auction hybrids, stripped them and sold carcass. It will last me the rest of my life I think.
A Hatchback is probably the most efficient form factor of a car. Smaller footprint, a lotta cargo space when the back seats are folded and usually better gas mileage than a sedan and they are often faster than a sedan.
Im glad to see those cars still humming along. I had a 2001 Taurus station wagon, i bought it with 105,000, sold it at about 240,000 miles. It was $1800.00 well spent. I liked it a lot, but my wife got a new car and didnt want me keeping an extra car. I got her old one, and sold my beloved Taurus for 900.00. I did fix things through the years myself... muffler, ac compressor, cooling fan, fuel pump, and brakes every now and then. The guy who bought my car got it for punishment for his kid, for wrecking the nice car they got her. Cars are engineered to break, not last, despite what anyone may tell you. If you can manage to fix it yourself, or not get it to break, you've beat the odds. In this sense, Chryslers are the best engineered car on the road.
I bought a 01 Lexus es300 it with 79k, put about 5k miles already can’t believe how smooth it runs 20 years later!!! I’m not buying another car for a very long time Lexus gang
I have two noteworthys: A 1980 AMC Concord, 2-door, 258-six, the DL version no less! I have $2200 total invested in it...27,000 original miles. My second car I bought brand new and only car I ever ordered. A 1994 Pontiac Trans-Am, 6-speed, LT1, aftermarket Ram Air hood, all white, t-top, only has 17,000 original miles. Put 3 failed optispark units in it (they were unvented in 93-94 and when the got wet---phooey!!!! wouldn't work. ) I finally put an aftermarket MSD in and no problems since then.
I suspect that the thumbnail IS Scotty’s collection but he realized that if he went all Leno’s Garage, the government would come sniffing around with their handS out looking for taxes.
All my car problems stopped when i bought my first lexus RX 300 18 years ago .Then a Toyota prado 90 .Now i have newer models of both and still drive the older ones .Normal maintenance and petrol is all i spend money on and i have four reliable cars
I agree, Toyota and Honda made incredible cars. I drove a 1992 Civic 454,000 miles, then a 2000 Honda Accord 4 cyl. 409,000 before it burned a valve, then a 2006 Honda Accord 4 cyl. 360,000 miles. Incredible cars 👍

Lolol Scotty! This was so funny and I love your humbleness, that quality is beauty in a person…anyway, Your car is absolutely FAB!!! I drive a 1998 Honda Accord with a v6 and I’m in love with it. Needs paint but it all works and paid for too. 185000 miles,,It’s still worth what I paid for it and I have a chuckle at some people who drive new cars, I will never! I like my vacations twice a year and my investments. My husband just went on vacation yesterday and his 2002 truck started overheating, what a drag but we have the money to fix it because we live reasonably. We will wear our designer thrift shop clothes when we go to our mechanic. We have learned so much from your videos that you didn’t have to make. We have fixed many things on our cars over the years. Thank you for helping US! We enjoy your sense of humor too and your speech is in laymen’s terms is a blessing. Have a great day Scotty, agape!
Hi there. Scotty this past October I bought a 2017 Camry se for 16 and a half thousand. It had 74 thousand miles with only two owners and no accidents. The gas mileage is great and the heater is hot as hell in 20 below zero. I love my car. I will never buy an American car again. Since I bought my car the price has gone up to over 22 thousand with all the same equipment and mileage. I watch your channel pretty religiously and your advice is spot on. Thank you. See ya later. Take care and God bless.
My Mom had a Cadillac with leather seats, she used Oil of Olay facial cleanser to clean them. She had that car over 15 years, they still looked like new. She figured it would keep them looking young. Great idea!
Scotty, you should've commented on the Pontiac Vibe...the Matrix 1st cousin. I had one for about 12 years/150k, before I sold it. Mine was a GT manual trans. The clutch did have to be replaced, still a reliable, quick, efficient, and roomy car. I hauled a half stack Marshall Amp, guitars, etc, to gigs in the thing. I miss it at times.
In 1989, I was at the Toyota dealer meeting in SF when that Celica was introduced. A week later, the big 6.0 SF earthquake happened, causing 63 deaths.
I absolutely love my 2003 Matrix, bought it almost 2 months ago for only $1800! 170k miles, 5 speed manual, insanely fun car to drive. It's an awesome second car to have because it gets 35 mpg and my 99 Tacoma gets about 15 which I was daily driving until I bought the Matrix.
Scotty, thinking of buying a 2000 and up model Celica if i cant find a 94-95 model. What are your thoughts on the 2000 and up years? Fun story. My dad (RIP) had an early 90s model Celica, and rebuilt the engine and transmission in just 1 day. Still had time to test drive it with me with some sun shine left haha! We took it a dealership in TN that same week, and the dealership traded him a brand new cargo van with an upgraded stereo and a set of monster JBL speakers. Even handed him 2,000 dollars in CASH for the Celica. Less than 2 weeks later, a guy at the dealership took the Celica for a spin (probably advertising or for fun) but underestimated the spunkyness, and wrapped the thing around a tree completely totaling the car. Needless to say, he was fired, but that car was so fun to drive or in my case ride in, and it was also relatively easy to work on despite some of the tight spaces.
What you think 2007 Avalon v6 limited turbo or supercharger. Or keep it factory don’t want a bunch of head ack I’m thinking supercharger but don’t know best brand
Huh? Back in the day, cars were made of heavy metal & REAL metal bumpers. Today, cars have mucn thinner sheet metal & one of my two cars , a '97 Outback , has STYROFOAM w/ a piece of small metal under the front & rear PLASTIC bumper covers. ABS & AIRBAGS, I'll give you that, but I've owned cars from the '70s to the early '00s & I always felt safer in older cars ('70s) cuz they were more solid & didn't incorporate STYROFOAM into the bumper design. 😲😲😲
@@g5alive795 back in the day lots more people died in cars than today despite there being far greater numbers of cars today. Thoae old cars held up well in a crash but the passengers did not. Todays cars are designed to absorb the energy of an impact by crumpling thwre by saving the passenger. Cars of yesteryear were junk most rarely saw 100k miles.
I think the new Corolla Cross is a new version of the Matrix / Pontiac Vibe. The new Corolla Cross is built in the US in a new Factory in Alabama. Reliability should be excellent. Toyota uses all the Corolla mechanical parts; motor, transmissions, rear suspension, dash and so on. The car is available with 4 wheel drive (used from a prior Toyota), front wheel drive (with a rear beam axle from a prior Toyota) and will soon be available as a hybrid (hybrid system from the Corolla. The Matrix is alive and well (with a better looking body)
It was back in 2004, but we were looking at houses in Tennessee. The realtor had two Lexus cars. He drove clients around in the one with 250,000 miles and it was a nice car. I remember him commenting that it never had any problems. He had a newer one for personal use and preferred the older one lol. 90’s cars were the best!
Yep after around 2006-7 they went down hill fast, not all brands but most, sad time for petrol heads as we call ourselves in Australia. Sad times indeed.
I purchased a used 2019 Chevy Express in 2021. This is the first vehicles I've owned and a headlight went out. I looked on TH-cam to see if I could change the bulb out myself and there is a lot to take about and I know nothing about making those repairs. Checked around and the shops that can do it, cost as much as the Chevrolet dealer service department. $200 and change for one bulb. The bulb is about $44 i priced it at. The rest is labor. Big O said the bulb and $77 per half hour.
I felt the same way about my DOHC Ford Taurus 225,000. I had to part with it because a solenoid in the transmission was causing the Check Engine light to come on and it failed smog, but ran fine!
Man those smog tests are such a scam. I hate that for you. Here in GA you could’ve drove it until the wheels fell off. We’re still a free state, for now
@@lesterparker1594 same here in Florida. as long as it runs and drives and all your lights and all that stuff works nobody cares. There are a lot of old cars down here in the south Still on the road and in pretty good shape for the most part
This fellow Scotty is fun to listen to, and you learn a lot! I love this channel, Scotty and the channel are really great, and no one is passing me a brown envelope full of cash to say so ! ! !
Bought a 97 Toyota rav 4 with 125k for 600 a few months ago. I was vandalized. I fixed all the door locks, ignition, redid the exhaust, vacuum lines, spark plugs, flushed oil with liqui moly, swapped out the coolant bypass line since it was cut, added an oil catch can to reduce throttle body carbon build up, replaced the radio and all 4 speakers, EGR, sensors, swapped out intercooler from my 98 since it was brand new, swapped out a 1 year old alternator, and did the timing. Runs like a champ and is my daily now. I replaced the exhaust from my 98 that lasted over 300k and then scrapped it for 300. I bought the 98 for 200 lol. Toyotas are no joke.
I had a red 1994 Toyota Celica 5-speed. I had it almost 6 years but I had to trade it in when I had my 1st baby. I didn't replace anything in the Celica, not brakes, not a light bulb, nothing. It was my favorite car to this day because it was so reliable in my early 20s when u was in college. Now we are thinking of getting a Camry for our son.
Japanese are a totally different culture. It is all about QUALITY with them. I used to work for a company that exported to Japan and they would send a whole boat shipment back if they found something they didn't like in their spot checks
Yes, I agree. I lived in Japan over 12 years and they are meticulously picky. They will not admit any vehicle coming into Japan unless they comply with all safety rules and regulation to the teeth. In Japan they are very serious about annual vehicle inspection. It's not just smog test, like here in U.S.A. They will check from front to back, just about everything. Also you can't even drive vehicle on public road if your vehicle is missing something, such as bumper or even small damage to the body. Yes, sir, they are not playing around there. Here you will see all kinds of bums driving with damage or very dangerous vehicles all over the nation, that's because law lacks enforcement also.

Urgent request. 02 Honda Odyssey 3.5 w 243,000 MI I am traveling and had an issue. I pulled off the freeway , went to AutoZone and used their scan tool this gave me a code of p0303, cylinder three misfire. Secondary DTC cylinder 1 2 4 and 6 misfire detected. Print out States the faulty EGR valve. before replacing the EGR valve I went to O'Reilly and used their scan tool. This gave a code of p 0301 and a misfire in cylinder 1. Before buying anything I moved the coils around to see if I could get a different misfire reading and no there was no change as far as which cylinder was not firing correctly on the scan tool Seeing that money is tight and I don't want to keep putting different things on what would be your best guess based on the information provided. Do you believe it would be the EGR valve or something else. The car runs rough taking off from a red light, the car runs smoother once reached the optimum driving speed. I don't know if there's any truth to this but I was informed if I disconnect the EGR valve then I should notice the car returning to the smooth engine idle however this did not happen. Any input at all
I agree.They are horrible.Worse than an Edsel.I don,t care for the front of a lot of new vehicles.camry tundra a few more.The gm trucks and and tailgates are lost balls out in the high weeds.
You’re extremely humble. By now you could go out and buy a Ferrari, but you’re so humble that it doesn’t interest you. You just want reliable vehicles that work! I can learn a lot from you, I’m 29 and just bought a used 2016 Honda Accord lx-s with 83k miles. It’s the first car I’ve bought, my first car was a hand me down Volvo xc-70 that only ran for like seven months.
I always trust a mechanic with an old car. I’ve heard the best mechanics say the same thing Scotty says. They don’t want to work on their own cars. They are so busy with their customers cars which means they get a lot of business. Good mechanics usually drive old cars. I love it.
got a 94 camry coupe, cheers for old small toyotas! 28 years old and the ac and heat all still works great, power sunroof/windows still work, everything is original except for the battery and maybe a few fuses, and in my opinion looks and feels more sporty than most regular cars now days. so much fun to drive, so cheap to buy and own, so much potential for mods(trd made a supercharger kit for the 1mz fe thats in my car) not horrible on gas, and i still gap ecoboosts all the time(not that thats saying a lot, they’re ecoboosts and they’re made by ford so before not too long they’ll just break down while im whizzing by in my old toyota)
Buying used Toyota's for cheap is a good thing! I paid 20% of the original sticker price for my 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L about 4 years ago, and now I am considering buying a pristine, garage kept, one owner 1999 Avalon for less than 2.0% of the original sticker price. The only thing I am unsure about is the 3.0 V6 engine, does this engine have any known problems?
@@vw5056 That's #2 on my check list right after viewing the maintenance records, thank you. I would think 505CRO™ Oil System Treatment and changing the O&F every 4,000 miles would probably be a good idea if sludge is discovered. The owner has offered to allow me take it on extended test drive, and keep it overnight.
@@THEH2OMAN Really the only way to be sure is inspecting the cylinders with a camera. Car Care Nut, a Toyota specialist, did a video about a 2007 Camry that was burning oil and found the tell-tale marks in like two or three cylinders.

What do you think about lotus ending production of some of their cars?
Scotty, a few videos ago you suggested an additive to run thru a car after replacing a PCV valve that was causing oil to get into the vacuum and air lines?
What was that additive?
1994 means the Celica is 28 years and definitely paid for.
I have been proved wrong.

Alternatively, a Chevrolet Prizm! AKA Toyota Corrola. My 2000 Prizm has a little over 105k miles and only have replaced tires, brakes, battery, muffler and general fluids/filters maintenance 😊
One thing I have learned is that Scotty carries a lot of TV's and lumber.

i wonder why he needs so much lumber for...he's a mechanic...
And he has 50 Celicas parked behind his garage...you just know it 🤣🤣🤣

Probably lasts forever almost
Was it a Chevy 3200? Cuz I have a 56 pickup too:)

Scotty once said : he only puts 600 miles a year on his Celica .. that's why the car lasts .. will it hold up if he puts a 10k+ a year ?? .. I mean , any car will last forever if you only put a 1000 miles a year ..
@@mohalostath It will easily hold up with 10k or more because it is a Toyota and Scotty is a Master Mechanic.

I bought a white on black 06 CVPI for around that price in great condition with only 104,334 miles (971 idle hours). With that many idle hours it's considered a unicorn in the used police car market. And if you do the math 134,334 miles + (971 idle hours) × (33 miles on engine per idle hour) you get 136,377 engine running miles. When I test drove it, it ran like a champ. Great performance and response, and was fast from a roll for a 4,000 lbs tank. When driving normal, "It rides like an old Cadillac." Now it has 148k + miles (1400 + idle hours), is still going strong, the a/c still works, and is still riding like an old Cadillac. So to me my CVPI was also a steal. No other used car can give you ride comfort, room, high performance, and can handle abuse like the CVPI. If you want an affordable, well built luxury car, buy a used Lexus. If you want an affordable well built car with room and comfort, buy any of the panther platform cars. If you want an affordable well built high performance car, with room and comfort, that can handle any road, and any style of driving, mine's aggressive, then buy a good used CVPI, you won't regret it.
Same with my used 2003 Camry ,
$5k back in '07 now she has 180k and i love her.
I bought my 97 Camry new ($11000) . It's still my main transportation. I've done normal maintenance and it's got 410000 miles on it. Rock Scotty
Impressive!
Scotty’s horse laugh…I never get over it 😂😂😂
I never get over how much he loves that Toyota Celica lol
1993 Celica just hit 200,000 (miles). Now, it's really a game of how far can she go.
She's also my longest relationship, 2002 to present. 😄
At least you are conscious about it 😁😁
👍👍🤓🤓
That's awesome that your keeping it that long. One of my buddies bought a 2002 Subaru Legacy in 2005 and is still driving it and has no intention of buying a different car.
@@MyLifeThai371 Thank you. They are great cars. She had 61,000 miles when purchased.
Happened to be my birthday when bought. It was a long & difficult search for a car back then.
The more I see of what is packed into new cars, the more I favor & enjoy what I have. Never thought I would think that way. Very freeing & Blessed.
@@sleepyhollow783 yepp you are definitely blessed to have such a car that can last that long! I pray my Acura TL can make it up to those numbers or higher 👍🏽
The beauty of used cars is you can own multiple for a fraction of the price of a new car.
The monthly insurance is much cheaper too!
Nothing beats having paid off cars!
@@googleuser868 Good point! Also forgot to mention sales tax! I only paid $120 tax+title transfer for my beater Tacoma.
100% agree. I found a 13 Toyota Corolla on Fb marketplace for sale with 150k miles for $3500 and instantly bought it, huuuge win for me and insurance is super cheap
Yup..if you can't pay for it then really you csnt afford it..and when the majority realize this and not get a 60k car while living in a 750 a month apartment, the finances would be better
You hit the mail on the head. We have 4 vehicles paid off. 4th gen 4Runner with 221k miles, YJ wrangler with TJ frame and lots of upgrades, 2003 accord with lots of work done and a K swap engine, an a 3rd gen Cummins with 298k miles. Nothing like no payments.
@@killerkennyas
Exactly. When I was younger I would do that, and there is no way I would ever make payments on cars. I own 4 and learned to fix them as much as I can.
I had a simple 2WD Toyota pickup with the automatic. It had 175K on it when I got it. I drove it another 30-40K and sold it to a fellow. Came across him a few years later and it was still running great with 300K. Original tranny!
Wow,i dont really like new trucks that much.all i need is a aftermarket radio then im good
At 61 yrs old I love my 94 Toyota previa AWD with 230k miles. Driving in Indiana with snowy pothole filled roads it's perfect. So check your ego save your money and listen to Scotty . He's a Man of wisdom 🤪
That’s okay I still want an Arctic Trucks Toyota Hilux AT44 lol
I have fixed my car and learned a lot from Scotty thank you brother you have saved me literally thousands and thousands of dollars
Got a 2007 Lexus GS 350 AWD and it has never disappointed me. Powerful, luxurious and smooth. Toyota really knows what they are doing when it comes to manufacturing these vehicles.
The only new car I have ever had is my 2018 Corolla SE. I knew the reputation for extreme reliability and to me it really has a nice sporty look. Four years later and it has not had one single problem! The only issue is that it rides rough on bumpy roads because of the low profile tires, but on the other hand, it corners quite well. I test drove a Honda Civic when I was looking at new cars, it was also nice but the Corolla was a little quieter and surprisingly it was a little smoother running in my opinion. I usually buy used cars to save money but at the time I was driving 60 plus miles a day for work and was tired of fixing my 06 Trailblazer every other week... I take good care of my cars and the Toyota Corolla has never let me down, it runs just as nice as the day I drove it off the lot!
It shouldn't have any issues....4 yrs old, probably only has 100,000 at the most...
I love to watch your channel, your exactly like my grandpa who owned his own shop in Chico California. Common sense is so missed, so hard to find these days, so Thank you for your assistance and time to help us all.
Agree totally!! My wifes Corolla is 23 years old . The only items needing replacing were brake cylinders and hoses, all cheap, even here in Ireland!!
I drive a Toyota Avensis here in Ireland. In USA,it would be between a Corolla and a Camry....nice car,loads of extras. I know a guy who sold his Avensis couple years back,with 500,000kilometres on clock and its still going strong!! The only geriatric cars you will see on our roads are all Toyotas...says it all
The interior of your Lexus looks immaculate.
Absolutely beautiful.
Tidy and clean.
Shining wood panels.
Definitely, that car is well taken care of. It will last a long time.
My 2005 Matrix just hit 221K and it is an annoyingly reliable car. Minimal oil consumption, original everything except water pump and suspension. Even the axles and bushing are all original. I still keep it because I can drive it rough without worry about it. Maintenance is cheap as heck and I change oil myself.
So, what I'm hearing is that you are really ready to stop looking at it but because it is so reliable you would feel dumb? Lol...
I had an old ugly 400k mile Camry that I drove hard for similar reasons. Ended up giving it away. Engine still purred, trans still good but suspension was bad.
Don’t tell Scotty he will do the gawking laugh
1998 Corolla making six figures = laughing to the bank while ppl judge me 😂
I love your philosophy towards owning reliable and quality vehicles. Appreciate your knowledge.
At 4:04 he should have opened the hatch again so he could say..
"if you never wanna miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell"
Gotta love Scotty!! He's da man 😂😂👍👍
My “ new car repair videos “ ring that bell 🛎
I love the way he looks back at the camera after ringing the bell
Scotty for President please!🙏🙏👍God Bless you and your family!
Speaking of CV joints, I had a laugh yesterday Scotty when I was leaving the parking lot of a grocery store: There half on the road and half on the driveway into the store was a Dodge Caravan (5th gen) with it's flashers on and the passenger-side CV joint laying on the road under it! Never seen a car cough up a CV joint on the road before, wow.
Well, to be fair , it happenes to anything with enough miles. Even happened to my wife's 09 Honda fit 5 spd sport this winter , it was a pretty cheap fix though
@@richsweeney1115 Yeah, at least those are very cheap, and at super-low speed like puling into a lot, it wouldn't have done any other damage.
@@Dakiraun Yeah, I'm glad it happened leaving my work, not on the highway on her way there, she picked me up for some reason that night, it could have been worse, because she went a few miles out of hr way to get me that night, if she hadn't had to, it could have blown in the highway the next day on her way to work, the extra distance she went that night, is about the distance the house is from the highway. I know I made that more complicated than I needed to. Lol
@@richsweeney1115 Yeah, much luckier! On the highway, that comes with a huge risk of damage and/or loss of control. Glad everyone was okay.
I did pop mine but was doing reverse donuts with my brother in the car after ten times around I was thinking of stopping but the car decides for me.....loved my z24
When talking about the hub caps “when far away, they look perfectly fine! “ 🤣🤣🤣
Right? Lol he is hilarious 😂
This man is living a good life and aging peacefully. Like one music said, be a simple man.
Scotty should go full-time into making memes with his hilarious graphic inserts. Sense of humor on POINT!
bought a 1966 F-250 Camper Special in 1988 for $350.00 (22 yr old truck at the time)
still have it (now a 55 yr old truck) and use it when i need to pull a heavy trailer (about 8 mpg - 50-55mph top speed)
looks like junk, but mechanically excellent shape
My old Jeep Grand Cherokee has 458000 miles and just keeps going with very few repairs.I think it will out live me!
My 21 year old Camry still runs fine. As long as I can still get parts for it, I'll never get rid of it.
Hey Scotty! My 2010 prius bought in 2012 for $14.6k was 30k new. Used as a taxi it now has 340k miles. I retired 2 years ago. Any hybrid owner needs to find a good independent hybrid mechanic. I did, good used big battery $1200 installed, mine went to 60% at 210k. Front strut assemblies used 14k miles $150 installed, my left mount started making noise at 250k, etc. Used Hybrid parts are out there, my guy bought wrecked auction hybrids, stripped them and sold carcass. It will last me the rest of my life I think.
A Hatchback is probably the most efficient form factor of a car. Smaller footprint, a lotta cargo space when the back seats are folded and usually better gas mileage than a sedan and they are often faster than a sedan.
Scotty filmed that before the move to Tennessee! Welcome to the good state Scotty!
Im glad to see those cars still humming along. I had a 2001 Taurus station wagon, i bought it with 105,000, sold it at about 240,000 miles. It was $1800.00 well spent. I liked it a lot, but my wife got a new car and didnt want me keeping an extra car. I got her old one, and sold my beloved Taurus for 900.00. I did fix things through the years myself... muffler, ac compressor, cooling fan, fuel pump, and brakes every now and then. The guy who bought my car got it for punishment for his kid, for wrecking the nice car they got her. Cars are engineered to break, not last, despite what anyone may tell you. If you can manage to fix it yourself, or not get it to break, you've beat the odds. In this sense, Chryslers are the best engineered car on the road.
I bought a 01 Lexus es300 it with 79k, put about 5k miles already can’t believe how smooth it runs 20 years later!!! I’m not buying another car for a very long time
Lexus gang
I have two noteworthys: A 1980 AMC Concord, 2-door, 258-six, the DL version no less! I have $2200 total invested in it...27,000 original miles. My second car I bought brand new and only car I ever ordered. A 1994 Pontiac Trans-Am, 6-speed, LT1, aftermarket Ram Air hood, all white, t-top, only has 17,000 original miles. Put 3 failed optispark units in it (they were unvented in 93-94 and when the got wet---phooey!!!! wouldn't work. ) I finally put an aftermarket MSD in and no problems since then.
I suspect that the thumbnail IS Scotty’s collection but he realized that if he went all Leno’s Garage, the government would come sniffing around with their handS out looking for taxes.
Great video ! But you had me fooled with that thumbnail. I thought you had a garage full of cars that would make Jay Leno blush 😉
All my car problems stopped when i bought my first lexus RX 300 18 years ago .Then a Toyota prado 90 .Now i have newer models of both and still drive the older ones .Normal maintenance and petrol is all i spend money on and i have four reliable cars
But, do you have a purple grape car? I ask you. Lol. 😂🤠👍
I agree, Toyota and Honda made incredible cars. I drove a 1992 Civic 454,000 miles, then a 2000 Honda Accord 4 cyl. 409,000 before it burned a valve, then a 2006 Honda Accord 4 cyl. 360,000 miles. Incredible cars 👍

Lolol Scotty! This was so funny and I love your humbleness, that quality is beauty in a person…anyway, Your car is absolutely FAB!!! I drive a 1998 Honda Accord with a v6 and I’m in love with it. Needs paint but it all works and paid for too. 185000 miles,,It’s still worth what I paid for it and I have a chuckle at some people who drive new cars, I will never! I like my vacations twice a year and my investments. My husband just went on vacation yesterday and his 2002 truck started overheating, what a drag but we have the money to fix it because we live reasonably. We will wear our designer thrift shop clothes when we go to our mechanic. We have learned so much from your videos that you didn’t have to make. We have fixed many things on our cars over the years. Thank you for helping US! We enjoy your sense of humor too and your speech is in laymen’s terms is a blessing. Have a great day Scotty, agape!
Hi there. Scotty this past October I bought a 2017 Camry se for 16 and a half thousand. It had 74 thousand miles with only two owners and no accidents. The gas mileage is great and the heater is hot as hell in 20 below zero. I love my car. I will never buy an American car again. Since I bought my car the price has gone up to over 22 thousand with all the same equipment and mileage. I watch your channel pretty religiously and your advice is spot on. Thank you. See ya later. Take care and God bless.
My 1990 Celica GT lasted 292K miles when I sold it. Great car!
The thumbnail is nice
My Mom had a Cadillac with leather seats, she used Oil of Olay facial cleanser to clean them. She had that car over 15 years, they still looked like new. She figured it would keep them looking young. Great idea!
My wife has a 06 Corolla with around 170k miles. Still runs perfect. No issues whatsoever. 👍🏽
You're the king of baiting with your cover images!!! Got me again.
Been at my job for 12 years! There's a beat up red 94 Celica in the parking lot every morning. Always think Scotty is going to pop out of it lol🚗
Scotty, you should've commented on the Pontiac Vibe...the Matrix 1st cousin. I had one for about 12 years/150k, before I sold it. Mine was a GT manual trans. The clutch did have to be replaced, still a reliable, quick, efficient, and roomy car. I hauled a half stack Marshall Amp, guitars, etc, to gigs in the thing. I miss it at times.
He has a video on that.
In 1989, I was at the Toyota dealer meeting in SF when that Celica was introduced. A week later, the big 6.0 SF earthquake happened, causing 63 deaths.
I live 2 miles from the epicenter at Loma Prieta.
7.0
the thumbnail got me! 😅😅
I absolutely love my 2003 Matrix, bought it almost 2 months ago for only $1800! 170k miles, 5 speed manual, insanely fun car to drive. It's an awesome second car to have because it gets 35 mpg and my 99 Tacoma gets about 15 which I was daily driving until I bought the Matrix.
I might go this route. I have a 2012 Tacoma, but need a more fuel efficient car and would be nice to get a Celica or Matrix
@@Ricardo1030 Don't forget the Pontiac Vibe is the exact same car as the Matrix and can be had for less.
@@mescko Appreciate it! It'll be a hard choice when I'm ready to buy next year.
Nice find bro. Take care of it and it will last you 15+
Scotty, thinking of buying a 2000 and up model Celica if i cant find a 94-95 model. What are your thoughts on the 2000 and up years? Fun story. My dad (RIP) had an early 90s model Celica, and rebuilt the engine and transmission in just 1 day. Still had time to test drive it with me with some sun shine left haha! We took it a dealership in TN that same week, and the dealership traded him a brand new cargo van with an upgraded stereo and a set of monster JBL speakers. Even handed him 2,000 dollars in CASH for the Celica. Less than 2 weeks later, a guy at the dealership took the Celica for a spin (probably advertising or for fun) but underestimated the spunkyness, and wrapped the thing around a tree completely totaling the car. Needless to say, he was fired, but that car was so fun to drive or in my case ride in, and it was also relatively easy to work on despite some of the tight spaces.
Good ways to learn how to repair/maintain a lot of cars is to own a lot of cars
What you think 2007 Avalon v6 limited turbo or supercharger. Or keep it factory don’t want a bunch of head ack I’m thinking supercharger but don’t know best brand
One thing to consider is that, new cars are much safer in an accident. Something to consider.
Huh? Back in the day, cars were made of heavy metal & REAL metal bumpers. Today, cars have mucn thinner sheet metal & one of my two cars , a '97 Outback , has STYROFOAM w/ a piece of small metal under the front & rear PLASTIC bumper covers. ABS & AIRBAGS, I'll give you that, but I've owned cars from the '70s to the early '00s & I always felt safer in older cars ('70s) cuz they were more solid & didn't incorporate STYROFOAM into the bumper design. 😲😲😲
@@g5alive795 back in the day lots more people died in cars than today despite there being far greater numbers of cars today.
Thoae old cars held up well in a crash but the passengers did not.
Todays cars are designed to absorb the energy of an impact by crumpling thwre by saving the passenger.
Cars of yesteryear were junk most rarely saw 100k miles.
@@fixitallpaul4847 I feel quite safe in my 89 Mercedes 560 SEL , has an air bag, crumple zones, ABS, built like a tank and built to last.
Do not trust your life with 30 year old air bags!! They probably will not work after that Much time.

Some people driving a Pontiac Vibe don't realize they're driving a gift...same car, but the depreciation means you can get a real bargain!
Same car as what?
@@richeyrich2203 Toyota Matrix .
I think the new Corolla Cross is a new version of the Matrix / Pontiac Vibe.
The new Corolla Cross is built in the US in a new Factory in Alabama. Reliability should be excellent. Toyota uses all the Corolla mechanical parts; motor, transmissions, rear suspension, dash and so on. The car is available with 4 wheel drive (used from a prior Toyota), front wheel drive (with a rear beam axle from a prior Toyota) and will soon be available as a hybrid (hybrid system from the Corolla. The Matrix is alive and well (with a better looking body)
It was back in 2004, but we were looking at houses in Tennessee. The realtor had two Lexus cars. He drove clients around in the one with 250,000 miles and it was a nice car. I remember him commenting that it never had any problems. He had a newer one for personal use and preferred the older one lol. 90’s cars were the best!
Yep after around 2006-7 they went down hill fast, not all brands but most, sad time for petrol heads as we call ourselves in Australia. Sad times indeed.
I miss the 90s vehicles dearly!
Thank you Scotty ! It’s hard not to smile while watching your videos
Many smiles
Not just smiles , but good laughs too
Thank you Scotty, you make my life with cars easier. Your videos are entertaining which makes learned fun and easy. Go Toyotas. I have 2😀
I purchased a used 2019 Chevy Express in 2021. This is the first vehicles I've owned and a headlight went out.
I looked on TH-cam to see if I could change the bulb out myself and there is a lot to take about and I know nothing about making those repairs.
Checked around and the shops that can do it, cost as much as the Chevrolet dealer service department.
$200 and change for one bulb. The bulb is about $44 i priced it at. The rest is labor.
Big O said the bulb and $77 per half hour.
I felt the same way about my DOHC Ford Taurus 225,000. I had to part with it because a solenoid in the transmission was causing the Check Engine light to come on and it failed smog, but ran fine!
Man those smog tests are such a scam. I hate that for you. Here in GA you could’ve drove it until the wheels fell off. We’re still a free state, for now
@@lesterparker1594 same here in Florida. as long as it runs and drives and all your lights and all that stuff works nobody cares. There are a lot of old cars down here in the south Still on the road and in pretty good shape for the most part
Why didn't you just fix it...that wouldn't have been too bad of a fix..
Part with it over a solenoid for a couple hundred bucks? Hell no.
Glad Indiana doesn't have vehicle inspection requirements.

Bought a 97 Toyota rav 4 with 125k for 600 a few months ago. I was vandalized. I fixed all the door locks, ignition, redid the exhaust, vacuum lines, spark plugs, flushed oil with liqui moly, swapped out the coolant bypass line since it was cut, added an oil catch can to reduce throttle body carbon build up, replaced the radio and all 4 speakers, EGR, sensors, swapped out intercooler from my 98 since it was brand new, swapped out a 1 year old alternator, and did the timing. Runs like a champ and is my daily now. I replaced the exhaust from my 98 that lasted over 300k and then scrapped it for 300. I bought the 98 for 200 lol. Toyotas are no joke.
ME: "Hey Scotty how many cars do you own?"
Scotty: "Toyota"
Nice glad to see a early upload
Is anyone else wondering when Scotty is going to finally show us his Million Dollar car collection ?
I was thinking he might show a few classics that we all would enjoy seeing.
H E L L O !
His thumbnail did tweak my attention. His humor got me, this time (too).
He just did.
Showing the money he's been able to put in the Bank with both be kind of showy and the Video would only take a few seconds.
Good Stuff,Great Tips 😄👍🏿
Scotty's a mechanic not a mathematician. That's an (almost) 30 year old car. 🤣
Have you figured out that this is an older video yet?
Yes, looks like he made this vid in 2019
I had a red 1994 Toyota Celica 5-speed. I had it almost 6 years but I had to trade it in when I had my 1st baby. I didn't replace anything in the Celica, not brakes, not a light bulb, nothing. It was my favorite car to this day because it was so reliable in my early 20s when u was in college. Now we are thinking of getting a Camry for our son.
My 1991 Mazda 626 is like Scottys Celica. Never needed anything exept brake pads and oil changes. Made in Japan of course.
You have a 101 Air Borne sticker on your back side window. Did you live in Tennessee? If so where you on N Senseney Cir.?
Japanese are a totally different culture. It is all about QUALITY with them. I used to work for a company that exported to Japan and they would send a whole boat shipment back if they found something they didn't like in their spot checks
Yes, I agree. I lived in Japan over 12 years and they are meticulously picky. They will not admit any vehicle coming into Japan unless they comply with all safety rules and regulation to the teeth. In Japan they are very serious about annual vehicle inspection. It's not just smog test, like here in U.S.A. They will check from front to back, just about everything. Also you can't even drive vehicle on public road if your vehicle is missing something, such as bumper or even small damage to the body. Yes, sir, they are not playing around there. Here you will see all kinds of bums driving with damage or very dangerous vehicles all over the nation, that's because law lacks enforcement also.
this video had me cracking up!! loved the part where he was all like i've taken big screens home in this car.. and then it shows a picture of two people stealing a tv...
Scottys Car Collection, "TOYOTA(S)!" Gee, who woulda guessed. Ya Scotty, those new grills are "UUUGLY." 😲😲😲
Urgent request. 02 Honda Odyssey 3.5 w 243,000 MI
I am traveling and had an issue. I pulled off the freeway , went to AutoZone and used their scan tool this gave me a code of p0303, cylinder three misfire. Secondary DTC cylinder 1 2 4 and 6 misfire detected. Print out States the faulty EGR valve.
before replacing the EGR valve I went to O'Reilly and used their scan tool. This gave a code of p 0301 and a misfire in cylinder 1.
Before buying anything I moved the coils around to see if I could get a different misfire reading and no there was no change as far as which cylinder was not firing correctly on the scan tool
Seeing that money is tight and I don't want to keep putting different things on what would be your best guess based on the information provided. Do you believe it would be the EGR valve or something else.
The car runs rough taking off from a red light, the car runs smoother once reached the optimum driving speed. I don't know if there's any truth to this but I was informed if I disconnect the EGR valve then I should notice the car returning to the smooth engine idle however this did not happen.
Any input at all
If Scotty ever put his cars up for sale, the mad rush to buy them would injure thousands….🤡
That 'scowling front end' of the Lexus reminds me of a Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica!
I agree on the hideousness of the new Lexus' front grill, along with Audi. And the front of GMC etc pick ups! Big design failure IMO.
I agree.They are horrible.Worse than an Edsel.I don,t care for the front of a lot of new vehicles.camry tundra a few more.The gm trucks and and tailgates are lost balls out in the high weeds.
It seems to be the "trendy" thing to do lately. It's a major miss in my opinion
You’re extremely humble. By now you could go out and buy a Ferrari, but you’re so humble that it doesn’t interest you. You just want reliable vehicles that work!
I can learn a lot from you, I’m 29 and just bought a used 2016 Honda Accord lx-s with 83k miles. It’s the first car I’ve bought, my first car was a hand me down Volvo xc-70 that only ran for like seven months.

I always trust a mechanic with an old car. I’ve heard the best mechanics say the same thing Scotty says. They don’t want to work on their own cars. They are so busy with their customers cars which means they get a lot of business. Good mechanics usually drive old cars. I love it.

Beautiful collection, wow!
Buying used Toyota's for cheap is a good thing!
I paid 20% of the original sticker price for my 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L about 4 years ago, and now I am considering buying a pristine, garage kept, one owner 1999 Avalon for less than 2.0% of the original sticker price. The only thing I am unsure about is the 3.0 V6 engine, does this engine have any known problems?
I have a 2000 toyota avalon, engines are pretty Damm reliable and powerful.
That is one of the oil sludging engines. Inspect it good before you buy.
@@vw5056 That's #2 on my check list right after viewing the maintenance records, thank you.
I would think 505CRO™ Oil System Treatment and changing the O&F every 4,000 miles would probably be a good idea if sludge is discovered.
The owner has offered to allow me take it on extended test drive, and keep it overnight.
@@THEH2OMAN Really the only way to be sure is inspecting the cylinders with a camera. Car Care Nut, a Toyota specialist, did a video about a 2007 Camry that was burning oil and found the tell-tale marks in like two or three cylinders.
@@vw5056 Yes, I saw that video.Wasn't that car neglected in several ways? Anyway, I doubt I'll find any in this vehicle.
