Scotty what do you feel about electric cars being mandated by 2035 in California?
@scotty kilmer. This is a great info filled video. I'm eyeing a 2006 Honda Ridgeline.. 200k, I might hold out for the right Toyota Tacoma or Forerunner.. ummm think think think..
I purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry LE and it has 63,000 miles on it from the Toyota dealership and it’s a CPO even with the high miles. They offered me a good price and the engine starts right up and runs smooth.
My only regrets is that I didn’t notice it didn’t have a CD Player or Satellite radio..
I personally don’t put a lot of miles on cars, I work from home and I live in a small town that has everything I need.
My question is with the initial high miles, do you think at a later date will this bite me in the but especially if things change and I have to start driving in.
Also what maintenance should I get done at 75 or 100k so it will stick around a while.
Rust is car CANCER. Can't cure it- hafta cut it out. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Scott!
With all this free publicity u give to Toyota , they should take care of you paying some or at least giving you a free car every year 😂 thanks for the info and of course toyota is the best durable vehicle 👌

i think headquarters must give a gift him

Best comment ever.
Currently at 190k miles on my 20 yr old Corolla, had a colleague who complained about the ac being too cold 🤣😂
That can actually be a malfunction if it gets too cold.
No joke and it happened to 1 of my neighbors.

Volkswagens with 1.9 ALH TDI found in Jettas and Golfs. Not New Beetles because of the lack of working room. Excellent vehicles as long as it’s a manual transmission. They can go 500,000 miles on the original engine.

I bought a '94 Crown Vic new. It lasted me over 400,000 miles! What a car!
What happened to the transmission and engine ?
Wow! I'm the 4th owner of a 2005 Ford Crown Vic LX sport. It has 167000mi. The last owner added a few after market performance parts, Ford replaced transmission. It has a few minor blips but I paid $2900.00 in Oct 2020. If I get 40,000 miles I will be 😊.
couple years back i bought a 1996 lincoln town car with 206,000 miles, when i was done with it, i gave it to my pops with 350,000 miles, my current 08 crown vic is 223,000 miles, the 4.6L is a tried and true engine
@@infinity3jif that’s what I heard about 4.6 engines except spark plugs
“ ‘94 Crown Vic new” lmao

I bought a 2007 Lexus RX almost 3 years ago at 231,000 miles. My husband was nice enough to not state any concerns of his, lol. Today it's almost at 300,000 miles and I haven't had a single problem with it. Best car I've EVER bought.
How much did you buy it for?
@devine532 I paid $6,100 after taxes for it and it did surpass 300k miles last year!
@@loviereesimmons6437 still have it?

149,000 miles?! That's it? My 2015 Camry Hybrid XLE already has 240,000 on it. Purrs like a kitten! It's had the front wheel bearings replaced due to Michigan roads and the BLIS went out on the driver's side mirrors. That's it! 7 years old and 240,000 miles on it.
My 2008 Buick Lucerne- bought it with 60k on it, now has 267000 and still going strong, pretty confident it will hit 300k. Had to replace one coil, ignition module, O2 sensors, water pump, alternator. Its been a good car.
My dad’s 2002 Honda Accord has almost 400000 miles and it runs well
mine had 280,000 before a Family member crashed it. It did get a refreshed transmission, but even though the previous transmission was having issues the car still worked.
My 98 accord has 326k
Wow I hv a long way to go..mines has 234000🤣😅
270000 when I sold my Honda
My dad had a 1994 Nissan hardbody and it had 750,000 miles before engine broke
Lol, he's literally just going through the cars sitting in his driveway now.
Scotty is a sad case... he's been spotted going through other peoples driveways now. 😂🤣😋
Not a bunch of regular customers like he had in Texas.
I would gladly drive mine down to Clarksville , if he needs new material! God bless him.
@@labornurse I probably would too
Guess he practices what he preaches.
I saw this advice. In looking for a high mileage, majority hwy miles vehicle, rock chips and paint damage on front facing surfaces can be a good sign. Also look at the brake pedal, and if little or no wear on the pedal surface, that’s a good sign of mostly hwy miles. If the brake pedal looks worn, lots of stops and goes.
Dealerships that take used cars in trade on new cars know enough to swap out the old rubber on the brake pedal for a new one. It's used auto schyster 101. If. It's brand new in appearance on a 50k - 60k mileage car or truck assume that it's been replaced.
I've got 397k miles on my '97 4Runner. It has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. The original clutch wasn't changed until I had 325k miles on it. The original rear brakes lasted until 300k miles. Starter and alternator were replaced in the 240 to 260k mile range.
My Toyota is about 300k, should I change spark plug?
My 94' Celica has 338,000 miles on it and runs like a clock! NO RUST and the A/C blows cold as can be and that is a FACT.
Here in Belgium you the price of a Celica has skyrocketed the last years. I don't know why actually.
@@Elaba_ I suspect Belgian's watch a lot of Scotty. lol
Are you the original owner? If not how many miles did it have when you bought it
@@instasingingvids3529 This guy is a troll. He posts the same comment in every video
Wow , your a/c still works , that’s impressive
I never realized how good Toyota was until 3 years ago when I bought a Corolla. I haven't had one single issue and it still runs like it did the day I drove it off the lot. I will buy another for sure and soon for my wife and son.
Bought a Corolla new in 2010. It had 249,000 miles when it was totaled in an accident in 2019. It never had a problem, and only regular maintenance. The interior and exterior looked good as new. It broke my heart to lose it. I planned to drive it at least another one to two years, possibly longer.
I love that quote, and I will try to work it into some conversations going forward… “rust never sleeps!” Words to live by. And Scotty thanks for all the videos, you’re a great guy and a great source of info on what to buy and what to look for for your average person who isn’t a mechanic but wants to know more about their vehicle. Best to you in Tennessee!
Thank Neil young who is also a car guy
A friend of mine has a 2001 4Runner with 370K miles. I was floored when I rode in it. It is in amazing condition and it runs superbly.
When I drive my old WJ Jeep GC into the ground, I'm definitely getting an older 4Runner, or a Land Cruiser if I can afford it 😂. Those things are amazing.
@@Big_Red_Dork Love land cruiser but gas mileage 🙇🏻♀️
I have a 2005 Acura MDX with 227000 miles on her and she still runs great! All praise to the Japanese auto industry! 🤩
Have you had any issues with the transmission?
My brother has 2004 Acura MDX with 300,000+ still running.
2013 Honda Accord EX. For being my first car, I paid a little more than I wanted, for it being at 89k miles, but the thing literally looks brand new inside and out. I plan on taking care of it like the first person did, and hopefully it’ll run up to 300,000 miles or more! 😊 I bought the BlieDriver scab tool for $60 this holiday season, as well as a NOCO GB 40 1000 amp battery booster pack. Just getting a jump start on everything I’ll need 🙂
Thank you Scotty for all of your videos!! I hope you and your family are loving Texas!
My parents have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner with 280,000 miles on it and it was well taken care of. It runs better than anything newer that they had in the past 😁

Yes! All the same still
Impressive.. I hold strong faith that my girl will stay running like a champ if she can hit 400,000
That's my goal, doing everything i can to make that possible. I baby my girl to the fullest, treat her like royalty
That's really beautiful man.......you must treat her well. :)
When I hear of some vehicles going to 700K miles and beyond, I really struggle to believe it. xD
I think a lot of cars are capable of exceeding 300,000. My dad said 100,000 is just the breaking in stage. He drove his 1972 VW van for nearly 30 years, and over a million miles. The odometer just kept resetting itself every 99999.99 miles. 😀
How many times was the engine replaced?
Probably a 5 digit odo.
scotty walking in a random neighbourhood with a camera going to random cars: This is a 2007 toyota camry... and he has the magical toyota key that starts them all..
Agree. Bought the 3rd gen 4runner with almost 240k miles - and drove it from Oregon to Panama, taking it offroad, through nasty places. Never had a problem, just did maintenance and sold it for the same amount as I've bought it. Other traveler took it and it continued until they've totalled it. Great, great trucks.
Shame we can't have these in Europe. :)
Crown Vics, Grand Marquis. Love mine, 314,000 miles and runs like a clock.

Looks fantastic I've put about $800 in the car since I've had it. l love this car the best car I've ever ridden in it's like a dream floating in the clouds
Afternoon Scotty!
I totally agree with your recommendations for how to buy a used car, and when to run away from a money pit. The 3 owner high mileage used truck I purchased for relatively cheap off Craigslist 3 years ago is getting better with age. My 2007 Toyota Tundra hit 296,000 miles earlier this month, nearly 30,000 problem free miles in three years. Keep doing what you are doing, the information you provide is invaluable.
Tennessee suits you.
A guy across from where I work was trying to sell a Tacoma with 470k for $8k!? I’m sure Toyotas are good but some owners are out of control.
The prices for used Trucks have seemed to have doubled.
Used to be able to get a Truck with 130K miles for 4 or 5K.
Now its usually 8K into the 10Ks.
Even 300K trucks that used to be worth 3K are now 6 and 7K.
Go look at Carfax, cargurus ans other sites.
Yeh ..no
@@jonny15dk ikr i ain’t buying it if they don’t replace that timing chain
Yeah even here in NY there are a lot of sellers trying to sell their 94 Tacoma’s for 8k 😂
Wait until summer when gas goes up for no reason. They sell cheaper.
2010 Mazda 3, Nova Scotia Canada (high oxidation zone). Purchased with 92,000km in April 2014. Today it's at 499,000km (311,000mi). Best car I've ever had.
2015 Mazda 3 made in Japan. 60,000 miles in illinois. Auto Transmission completely blew with no warning. Never Mazda again.

I had a stick shift Yaris hatchback. Fantastic car. 200,000 miles and no problems. 10 minutes to change the oil myself. Great gas mileage.
My Stepdads 91 Honda Accord has 390k miles and is still pushing
Damn I salute him.......I wonder what the hell Toyota and Honda do to give their cars that type of life line. lol
Yup my 07 Camry is at 225k . It amazing that these car just run when you take care of them . Just keep your interior clean and shampoo your carpets , feels like a new car every day !
Did you buy it new? If so are there any areas to focus special attention on? I am thinking about camry.
Thanks for the update buddy😄
that ice pick concept is a new one. The one I have heard of is covering up the check engine light space on the dashboard with black electrical tape
hey Scotty! I bought a 07 CRV with around 225k miles on it. I took it to the Honda dealer to get them to do a quick check up before I bought it. There were a few minor things wrong with it that I was able to fix mostly on my own; with the exception on the AC. Turned out to be a relay switch and someone I know was able to fix it for me pretty cheap. Over 2 years later with almost 260k miles it's still running strong. Last tune up the dealership said that it's in really good shape despite the miles. I paid very little for a car that was almost 30k new and I can probably get 500k miles out of it. I live in TN so next time you're here let me know if you would like to include it in a video.
I'm thinking of getting an '07 Honda Ridgeline. An old friend of mine still has his from 2007 and it's still doing great! Plus I think the older Ridgelines just look nice and I like the features on it.
My dad bought a new Toyota 4Runner in 2000. To this day it runs like a beauty. And he’s never had one major issue. I’ve tried so hard to buy it from him and many others have tried to buy it from him. Great vehicle
Happy Thanksgiving Scotty and Family!
Right after you banged underneath the vehicle I saw a hole in the muffler. I could be wrong but I saw something.
Looks like Scotty's starting his own used car lot.
Used TOYOTA car lot please !
Thanks Scotty learned a lot from you . You explained sooo well . Ty
Great video Scotty knowledge is power👍🏼
When looking for my first car, I skipped the Hondas and Toyotas because “they cost too much for what you get”. For $1,500 I could either get a late 90’s or early 2000’s Civic/Corolla that had paint chipping/fading, and stains on the seats, or a 2005 Chevy Malibu with a perfect interior and paint job..... I should have went with the Hondas because that Chevy broke down 3 times after I owned it for only 5 months.
@Bobby Jackal yea I should have listened to my dad who told me to go for Hondas or Toyotas but all the Hondas/Toyotas looked like crap.
Neighbors wife: come see this new neighbor yelling to cars 😎

FELIS FUENTES-My car won't start. I don't know what to do. Call that neighbor Scotty
Excellent advice, as usual. Thank you!
Absolutely Love your informatibe Videos thanks for all the great info 😀 👍
As long as it’s well maintained I’m fine with a high mileage Toyota or Honda
@Moon Pie true, but how fast or slow the car wears out also depends on how well you take care of it. Any car can last as long as you take good care of it
Want to buy my 2009 Honda Civic? It has 175,000 miles. But still going strong! Just want to upgrade to something newer.
Mazda post ford also, rock solid cars
@@physio_bodybuilding oh yeah but the new 10-speed auto is really good
Justin 1 wouldn’t trust a Honda auto trans after 200K miles sometimes less

Hey Scotty! Would any scan tool tell you the actual mileage or just the high end scanners?
340k on my ‘99 Avalon. Original engine, trans, AC, every switch and button still works... good maintenance & still runs like new 💪🏻
@Jo Blow Awesome. Yes we do. I'd love to find a clean, low mile older Sienna. She's a keeper, I drive the wheels off it for work. Bought it with 55k and now at 305k. At this point really wouldn't want anything else for what I use it for and the more miles I drive the more money it makes me. Curious to see how long she lasts but for what I use it for I hope it runs forever. Just hope no one runs into me as even though it's super clean I'm sure the insurance would give me squat for it.
I drove almost 300k. Should I change spark plug? When did you replace the spark plug?
@@sanglee8981 I did them when I did the timing belt/water pump, etc service. You're supposed to do the timing belt @every 100k miles or so I believe. But the 1mz is a non-interference engine so I actually didn't do mine until 210k and haven't done it since haha.
@@sidefx996 thank you
My 08 Accord has almost 320k on it. I put every mile on it.
My 2010 Accord was running like clockwork when someone smashed into me at a stop sign and totalled it out at 240K. Would have run another 100K easily. Great vehicle.
Just read someone else had a 91 Accord with 390K miles on it and running strong......man Honda is beastly. In fact I'm staying at my mom's spot right now, I look out the window and see 5/6 Hondas all right there. lol

Just keep up the regular maintenance and that car will hit 350k no problem
Just hit 200 in my 03 accord. I was thinking about getting something else but just decided to go keep it rolling. Nothing really wrong with it, I just dumped a grand on coilovers and tires and ignition coils instead of getting into another car payment 🙃
1997-2001 and 2004-2006 were the best years for the camry!
And 92-96
I love your energy and keep up the funny interesting and informative videos
You forgot 00-05 buick lesabre and park avenue.
Had an 88 Oldsmobile with the 3.8L engine. Great car. They made them pretty well back then.
Rust never sleeps... That's why back in the day you saw the back window of the Chevy Vega being held together by duct tape.
My 2003 Trailblazer LTZ has over 371K. It affirms my belief that if you take care of the regular maintenance you avoid bigger problems. I believe it also helps to have a timing chain as opposed to a belt. All vehicles have their quirks and design flaws somewhere. It just cones down to what you are willing to do and what you are willing to live with. As for my 6-cylinder Chevy, she starts up great, still has cold air, hot heat, and often runs for hours at highway speeds.
The car that will last more than 300,000 miles is the 1994 Toyota Celica
I bought a 2015 Prius and joined the group there are tons of people there who got Prius with 200 300 and 500K miles on it
I'm thinking that soon one will pass up Musk's Corvette in space near Mars. Might be the first 300 million mile car.
if you look at the mileage on celica, it never changes.
How about a 2002 Celica GT with 153K miles? Would you recommend it? It's priced at 6500 bucks

My 2006 Toyota 4Runner has 285k miles and still drives great. Never been in the shop and only oil, brakes, and tune-ups performed in routine maintenance. Will eventually buy another one, but loving this truck built like and Mack truck, making it hard for me to part with it.
Good advice, thank you.

How come Scotty always says Chrysler products are bad. My dad has a 2005 Dodge Durango Limited with the 5.7L Hemi Magnum V8 with over 202000 miles. It runs smoothly and has little rust, but not on the frame. Its parked weekly in a dirt yard near water, which kinda was the reason for the slight body rust.
They like to made bad transmission cars. They all burnout before 100K miles. Get burned once and you lose a customer for life.
As someone who owns a 98 4Runner SR5 with 190k miles I appreciate the fact you’re talking about the 4Runner. I just wish mine was 4WD... I’d need it if I go off-roading or in snow covered areas. Granted I’ve been off-roading with mine but I got stuck when I was leaving lol.
Im thinking of buying one, no rust 270,000 miles $2500
Scottie you have been taking care of the last and current car I have Cadillac 07 currently Cadillac 2012 thank you 😊 you have been so great 😀
Hey Scotty where did you get that jacket I need to get one, you are the king of cool.
Got a 2000 Camry with the v-6 a couple months ago. 63000 miles. What a car. Old enough to be simple, new enough to be reliable.
Same! 2001 Camry v6 xle, 66k miles, driven by an old lady it’s whole life. Love it.
My 1st car was an 86 Toyota Tercel in 98. Rebuilt the carburetor & did standard maintenance. Lasted until I destroyed it colliding w/ a massive buck. 540,000+ miles & was still going strong. Quality👍
My 99 honda civic going on with 322000 miles. Original motor. With some work done as far as seals and gaskets.
And regular maintenance. Oil changes, plugs etc.
You rock Scotty!
Good info
Scoty in Tennessee, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family members.
Almost 2 years ago spent more than I wanted on an 06 Tacoma, but it only had 61000 miles looks and drives like brand new. Can do most of the maintance yourself.
257000 on my 2001 Sequoia Limited. No leaks. Shifts perfectly. The only thing going on is the Leather on the front seats is starting to crack.
Sequoias are My dream car. But you cant really get Them in germany
@@teddy42839 but you guys have the autobahn so I would say a sequia is not a big concern lol
@@skiddy527 the Autobahn gets more restricted each year and i give it five years until we have a speed limit :(
@@teddy42839 NOOOOOOO
The documentaries are nice, but videos like this one are the reason why I subscribed to Scotty's channel. (I especially enjoy the moments where his voice randomly increases like at 6:44)
Great Video!
This guy has almost 4 million subscribers,he must be really good 👏
I feel really sorry for that blue Camry. I hope your grandson will develop a love for it's maintenance.
Don’t forget the 05 Avalon limited. 350 K still drives like a new car, even has adaptive cruise control and air-conditioned seats everything still works
I have a 92 4 Runner in Ontario, Canada. Runs like new, but rusting away.
1999 Honda Accord 250k plus miles runs and drives great
Does anyone else hear that same bird in the background that was in his videos while he was living in Houston?? Lol
It was a spy by Toyota to check if Scotty was still loyal to Toyota outside of Houston
253.860 miles out of my 1994 chevy S10 , still runs great the front end needs rebuilding ,, all the bushings are out ,.
Glad I found this channel!
Only 150k miles and the interior looks like it's been through alot!! And uncared for like wow.
My 08 accord has 188k miles on it and I try to keep it at new as I can. Leather seats are still intact and the leather on the steering wheel is smooth now but man... that camry needs more love.
