I have a friend from Fujian, China. And my mother's side of the family is from Cuba. We sat down and talked about communism once over dinner. We both learned quite a bit. Turns out there are different "flavors" of communism. Scotty it right, China is basically a capitalist country with a dictator at the top, but they also have, supposedly, some kind of parliament or legislative body as well. It is a weird setup, looks like China is just a quasi-communist country today, somewhat different of how the country was run 30+ years ago. Probably when the Soviet Union fell, communist China kind of fell with it I guess. But that hasn't stopped the Castro regime back in Cuba of keeping the people poor and on the brink of starvation. If a cab driver in Cuba makes $10 USD in a day shuttling tourists around, they take like $8 and leave the driver $2 for gas so he can work the next day 😆🤦🏻♂️😭. My friend assured me, the Chinese would never put with an economic system like that.
Scotty Kilmer - HEY SCOTTY, I’ve been trying to get my comment seen for a while. Is a 2004 Saturn VUE with 160,000 miles for $1,000 a good reliable car? I’m a senior in high school and need a cheep reliable car.
@V S those ford sho Yamahas are beasts, especially the older ones, boxy during the fox body days they were actually under rated because they were faster And had more power than the 5.0,i had one spank me in my 92 5.0 auto, it was a 93 stick sho and from off the line, roll, even if I got a head start, that beat up sho always caught up, always got me off the line or slowly passed me on a roll race. And when we shut down (in Mexico off road of course) at 120ish, or less it was always at least 2 car lengths or more ahead of me. Sho was old, beat, stock. GT has cold air intake, and a chopped up exhaust. But was that slouch of a auto sadly. Curious if they made a auto sho during those years, if so I wonder how it would of turned out...
My Mk7 Celica was fine up to 135k miles and then got crashed into by some thugs and started leaking coolant and the mechanic didn't know how to fix it and bleed it correctly (lots of videos on youtube on how to do it) so I had to get rid of it after more damage (not by me) but up until then, if you change the oil with good oil regularly and don't thrash the car, it was one of the best cars I ever owned!!! 😪
I bought a brand new 370Z back in 2010 and drove it for about 10 years with just oil change and zero visit to the dealers for maintenance. The only thing I replaced was fuel pump ($400 to replace). Other than that, ZERO issue. Such a solid, fun, and reliable car.
I dont think people realize what a blessing the 350Z and G35 trims are. They've been kept relatively similar over the years which means tons of readily available parts and lots of common problems and troubleshooting found.
xeong5 lmao maintain an STI? LMAOOOO MAINTAIN an STI maybe because one thing breaks and then when you fix that two things break and then when you go to fix those the car doesn’t crank
I miss the 1990's and early 2000's Maxima's. Those were great, fun, reliable, vehicles. Hard to believe that 20 years ago Nissan was seriously competing with Toyota and Honda.
JUST 20 years ago ??? 20 years is a long time. I always hated nissans, whenever I look at cars, I always look at the steering wheel. If the steering wheel sucks, the car usually sucks. Nissan and ford steering wheels always sucked.
I have a 2012 Nissan 370Z with 3.7 L V6 and 76k miles and haven't had any problems. I always use fully synthetic oil with quality oil filters. I recently had the automatic transmission fluid flushed by a Nissan dealership. I love the car. It rides and handles great. Almost all the miles are highway miles. I used to drive it every day to work 110 miles/day. I've never driven it hard though. I love it and am always getting compliments from people.
LOL I knew if I kept watching you Mr. Scotty I'd run into one these videos about my 370z. I love watching you and I can take it. I'm just happy you're honest and help us out! I have a huge insecurity of being scammed by mechanics because I'm a woman but you have helped me soo much.
Owned a 03 Altima 3.5 automatic and that car was a beast. Drove it like I stole it fill 180k miles went 1st gear finally went out. Now own 2005 xterra with 145k and is built proof, only minor standard repairs needed. Just did full suspension replacement and feels like a sports car again even though it's an suv. Amazing car
I own a 2005 G35 sedan with 150k miles and runs great. Only had issues with camshaft/crankshaft sensors which was solved with a 10mm socket. Something about those old 3.5 vq motors. They're friggin bulletproof!
I own a 2008 Nissan Versa hatchback that I purchased new in 2007. Except for a couple of minor accidents and regular maintenance, it's never spent a single day in the shop. It's been amazingly reliable and durable, even the interior looks almost new. I know it's 'just' a Versa, but it's by far the best car I've ever owned.
2011 Nissan Versa bought in 2013 with 30k. Always did regular maintenance and actually took care of the car. No major mechanical, electrical, or transmission issues at 182,000 miles.
I recently bought a 99 Nissan Altima with 130,000 miles on it....it's all beat up on the outside but it runs like a top! It seems to have a very well built engine ....
I have an ‘11 Altima. Bought him in ‘12 and he’s been good to me ever since. Keep my fingers crossed he’ll last me another year, year and a half if not longer.
lamar chapman hope so! I don’t drive him much I about to hit 110k miles. Might take longer given the current world situation. So I hope he stays kicking cuz I definitely do not want another car note any time soon.
This man is the ultimate car expert! Listen to him. On Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Canada, Nissans are selling like crazy thanks to a very long established aggressive car dealer. Many folks have spent their hard earned money buying these cars. They will be extremely disappointed in a few years. My husband and I will stay far away from any Nissan car or SUV. Thanks Scotty!
Had a '85 Nissan King Cab with the NAPSZ engine (2 plugs per cylinder) no issues, ran great for 15 years, until wrecked. Nissan is a shadow of its former self and probably in its death throes especially with Renault/Peugeot .
I had an ‘88 I inherited from my dad that he bought brand new. I drove it until about 450k miles until I screwed up the transmission myself in 2002. Someone offered us a lot more money than it was worth so we sold it. That guy put in a new transmission and it’s still running today with the original motor and that transmission he put it
Nissan trucks have always been good. My 09 Xterra had no issues with 200k miles. Had to replace a wheel bearing and a window switch and nothing else. My 2014 Xterra is just as good.
Honestly the Nissan Maxima in my eyes are the the most reliable in the whole manufacturer you don’t see many problems with them other then the 2004-2006 models
Everyone is shitting on Nissan but what about the 350z, 370z, Altimas (with the 3.5 v6), Maximas, g35, g37, q40, and q50(2014 and 2015 models only) that all have the VQ engine that for years has proven itself to be extremely reliable.....**besides some of the old g35s and 350zs with the oil sucking issue**
I have a 2006 Infiniti g35 with 122k miles on it. I've owned it for half a year now and have only had to replaced my drive belt and replace the clutch (when I first bought it). Other than that no problems.
My 2008 v6 6mt Altima coupe just hit 230,000 miles and still can out accelerate most vehicles out there! ... and I’m still on the original clutch! I added a 2019 370z for the summer this year - manual of course!
He said a few months ago the 350Z was the last of the Z models that was well made. The pre 2002 models seem to be well made automobiles. You still see those early Altimas and Maximas on the road.
Best Nissan, 96 to 2004, Terrano/Pathfinder, particularly, the Diesel Engine version, push rod, solid cast iron, with small Turbo, (amazing economy) & had the Skyline GTR Transmission, & Nissan Patrol axles, very bullet proof. Rest of the mechanic's very simple.
There's a 98 Nissan Sentra that an older lady owns down the street. I've been thinking about asking her about selling it. In western Pennsylvania and garage kept, I really want it. That GA16 engine is bulletproof.
I had 2017 altima, it never gave me any issue, it was running like a charm, just traded it in for acura mdx. May be the altima i had was a particularly good unit, I heard alot about problems with nissan cvt transmission but I did 100k kms ( 62k miles) never had a single issue with it.
He is RIGHT!!! I had an '03, my buddy had an '05 and another '05 SE-R. ALL had engines blow. My warranty paid for them to rebuild then I quickly sold it!!!! Xterra and old Sentra was good.
I don't know much about the Nissan Z, but if you're looking for an Altima, maxima or Sentra, the last really good years for those cars were 2003. Especially in regards to the Maxima. The 5.5 gen was the last good maxima.
My 1995 240sx/Silvia is running strong. 985hp 4wd rb26dett. Bought 2017 GT-R for 25k at an auction. Runs beautiful. I had 6 supras twin turbo and mr2s. The Ferrari looking one. There great cars. Smoke Bugattis and Ferrari
Have 1995 a Nissan sentra with 380000kms original engine and standard tranny never regretted although bought it from a person who abused it,still going on strong although being 25 yrs old
Mr. Kilmer I just want to thank you I'm watching your videos of cars to stay away from. When I shop for my first new car. Which I know will save me money and heartbreak later thank you!
PROUD OWNER OF ------> Mint Cond. Very low mileage (Under 110,000) Black on Black with Leather. MADE IN JAPAN. ( Last year) 2003 Maxima SE. 255 HP Has the excellent Auto Trans. Not the CVT garbage. Engine smooth as silk. Has a TIMING CHAIN. ( Yes, it's very quiet) Non smoker, no Pets, like new Interior. Box Stock Car does a 14.9 1/4 mile. Not too shabby. Paint all original, always garaged. Glistens in the sun !
And to prevent flat battery problems, install a flexible solar panel on your car roof, & using a regulator, connect it to your car battery. For winter, or cold regions, take the battery out of your car, & put insulation on the battery tray, & around the battery. It will remain at a constant temperature.
I do like the new Nissan style though, they need to update their transmissions, CVT is either hit or miss. I like how they implemented All Wheel Drive in the Maxima and Altima. Hopefully there will be a AWD sentra and Versa!!
Nissan Frontiers and Xterras are good dependable trucks and their transmissions last forever... there's a lot of people getting 250K- 300K+ miles on them.
I had a Manual Transmission 1993 Nissan Sentra 2 door, that thing had over 300,000 miles on it and it just went and went and went. Started off as a 5 speed but eventually 5th gear quit on me, probably could have been prevented if I changed the fluid when I had first got it. But I was always just on the go so I never got to it. But anyways I saw that little car drive around town for about 4 years after i had it. The old Nissan’s are much better then the new ones
The best Nissan, that I will get, will be the 2008 Quest 3.5 S or 3.5 SE minivan, with the 3.5 L V6 engine with 240 horsepower and the regular five-speed automatic transmission with low-gear selection.
my 2014 maxima runs cherry...150k...but....you must change the trany fluid every 30k....and...change the external tran filter located behind the driver side front wheel
So are you saying 2010 Nissan's are still good? Because I have a 2010 Versa S. Fingers crossed that's a decent model Edit: Actually I have a 2011 Versa 😭
puffdaniel09 depends if it has a CVT, the older ones or newer ones are excellent vehicles. The new ones are solid too EXCEPT for the transmission. If you don’t mind replacing the transmission every 100k or if you change the fluid every 30k, you will get max life if you change the fluid that often
The 'old time' batteries for flashlights he's referring to are NiCad. They are prone to a "memory effect", if you charge them without completely draining them, it will start to "remember" how much you charged it and only charge that much, permanently. It has to do with "spikes" that would physically build themselves into the battery that cuts down the life. Make sure you DO NOT drain Li-ion (what's in cell phones and most modern electronics) - this is not necessary and can DEGRADE these kind of batteries.
scotty..the 350z and 370z's are excelelent.. they have very little recalls and they are strong as tanks..but people do abuse them.. the best thing is that they are pretty good to service..

He said a few months ago the 350Z was the last of the Z models that was well made. The pre 2002 models seem to be well made automobiles. You still see those early Altimas and Maximas on the road.
My man Scotty dropping content faster than I can hit the like button.😂🤣😂 Get some rest Scotty.
That Mercury Marquis is a heck of a deal. Those things are supposed to last as long as any auto you can find.
Best Nissan, 96 to 2004, Terrano/Pathfinder, particularly, the Diesel Engine version, push rod, solid cast iron, with small Turbo, (amazing economy) & had the Skyline GTR Transmission, & Nissan Patrol axles, very bullet proof. Rest of the mechanic's very simple.
There's a 98 Nissan Sentra that an older lady owns down the street. I've been thinking about asking her about selling it. In western Pennsylvania and garage kept, I really want it. That GA16 engine is bulletproof.
I had 2017 altima, it never gave me any issue, it was running like a charm, just traded it in for acura mdx.
May be the altima i had was a particularly good unit, I heard alot about problems with nissan cvt transmission but I did 100k kms ( 62k miles) never had a single issue with it.
They have warranty of 100,000miles
That's nothing for miles.....I'd hope anything would go 62k miles
..that doesnt mean anything
you're popping up faster and faster on my feed Scotty !!
gizmo no it pays better to talk about cars than to fix them
He is RIGHT!!! I had an '03, my buddy had an '05 and another '05 SE-R. ALL had engines blow. My warranty paid for them to rebuild then I quickly sold it!!!! Xterra and old Sentra was good.
Xterra with manual can last forever
Great advice. We need one of you in every town
I had a 2015 Nissan Vera Note one year ago and so glad I got rid of the car even with low mileage
My favorite Nissans
1. R35 GTR N Attack
2. R34 GTR Z Tune
3. 350z
4. 370z Nismo
5. 240Z
“A Capitalist dictatorship.” Best three-word description of China I have ever heard.
I don't know much about the Nissan Z, but if you're looking for an Altima, maxima or Sentra, the last really good years for those cars were 2003. Especially in regards to the Maxima. The 5.5 gen was the last good maxima.
I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima with only 124,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.
I have a 1998 with over 280k on it!
Runs great!
Then a g37 is a reliable car good to hear that
I haven't have any problems with my Frontier. Never had any problems with the xterra or the maxima.
Cars to buy from Nissan are
370Z
G37
GT-R
G35?
My 1995 240sx/Silvia is running strong. 985hp 4wd rb26dett. Bought 2017 GT-R for 25k at an auction. Runs beautiful. I had 6 supras twin turbo and mr2s. The Ferrari looking one. There great cars. Smoke Bugattis and Ferrari
Have 1995 a Nissan sentra with 380000kms original engine and standard tranny never regretted although bought it from a person who abused it,still going on strong although being 25 yrs old
Mr. Kilmer
I just want to thank you I'm watching your videos of cars to stay away from. When I shop for my first new car. Which I know will save me money and heartbreak later thank you!
Love my 2008 Nissan 350z Nismo.. reliable and built like a tank.
I have owned a 74 260 Z and a 78 280 Z. Both pale in comparison to my 94 Celica.
Last Datsun I had was a 1600 Roadster...
Great fun car... but I was great and fun back then too...
BartRicky omg! Imagine what that would be worth in mint condition today! So many Datsun’s rusted out in the States
PROUD OWNER OF ------> Mint Cond. Very low mileage (Under 110,000) Black on Black with Leather. MADE IN JAPAN. ( Last year) 2003 Maxima SE. 255 HP Has the excellent Auto Trans. Not the CVT garbage. Engine smooth as silk. Has a TIMING CHAIN. ( Yes, it's very quiet) Non smoker, no Pets, like new Interior. Box Stock Car does a 14.9 1/4 mile. Not too shabby. Paint all original, always garaged. Glistens in the sun !
And to prevent flat battery problems, install a flexible solar panel on your car roof, & using a regulator, connect it to your car battery. For winter, or cold regions, take the battery out of your car, & put insulation on the battery tray, & around the battery. It will remain at a constant temperature.
I do like the new Nissan style though, they need to update their transmissions, CVT is either hit or miss. I like how they implemented All Wheel Drive in the Maxima and Altima. Hopefully there will be a AWD sentra and Versa!!
Nissan Frontiers and Xterras are good dependable trucks and their transmissions last forever... there's a lot of people getting 250K- 300K+ miles on them.
Are you kidding? Tge Xterras transmission are garbage.
My pathfinder is going strong from 06 with basically no major issues
"As Always; Thank you Very much for Blessing Us all. With GREAT INSIGHT
I got a 01 Sentra se and 05 maxima se my dad have a 05 Altima my uncle has a 02 pathfinder
Congrats Scotty. You finally got your Celica advice correct!
thank you for the tip mr JOHN LENNON
Rather than make cheaper cars, companies should just reduce the range of vehicles to reduce the total number of different parts they need to make...
I had a Manual Transmission 1993 Nissan Sentra 2 door, that thing had over 300,000 miles on it and it just went and went and went. Started off as a 5 speed but eventually 5th gear quit on me, probably could have been prevented if I changed the fluid when I had first got it. But I was always just on the go so I never got to it. But anyways I saw that little car drive around town for about 4 years after i had it. The old Nissan’s are much better then the new ones
I have a 2000 Nissan b15 with an sr16 and manual gearbox, 380,xxx kms and is still like a glove. The older Nissan's really were better.
The best Nissan, that I will get, will be the 2008 Quest 3.5 S or 3.5 SE minivan, with the 3.5 L V6 engine with 240 horsepower and the regular five-speed automatic transmission with low-gear selection.
Old Nissan cars like 240sx, sentra se-r and d21 truck are all fun.
YES!
1993 D21 4x4 king cab v6 5-speed owner here.
@@BLKSTONE4WD Nice! I have a SR20DET s13 myself
my 2014 maxima runs cherry...150k...but....you must change the trany fluid every 30k....and...change the external tran filter located behind the driver side front wheel
I believe every car make and model has there own issues
Older Altimas are not my cup of tea. I’m better off with my B14 200SX SE-R and A33.5 Máxima SE both standard. Overall fun cars to commute
Best Nissan right now is the Frontier
The ones without CVT and the Pre 2010's one's are good. Nissan after 2010 is just been disastrous
Since Renault they’ve been trash. The 2004 maxima non cvt is JUNK too for example.
My 2010 Versa non CVT original engine and automatic transmission has 204,000 miles and still truckin!
I got a 08 altima 2.5 with a cvt with 230k and runs great so it really depends
@@missioncodez I had a 2001 Sentra gxe automatic, took it to 240,000 miles with little drama. Next to my Camry it's the most reliable car I ever had.
So are you saying 2010 Nissan's are still good? Because I have a 2010 Versa S. Fingers crossed that's a decent model
Edit: Actually I have a 2011 Versa 😭
The 2020 Nissan Sentra looks great.
Wildforthecats Yeah, in the shop
Hmmm, I don't know about that...
Keye Haze Upcoming Scotty videos, “I Was Wrong About Nissan.”
I miss my '82 Datsun pickup.....
But it rusted away before too long .......
Scotty Hello from Florida 🍊!
Hi honey!
Good Nissans to buy:
Titan, Frontier, NV Vans, GTR, 370Z, and any other pre 2003 Nissan
JMGaming12 what do you think about a Nissan Maxima?
puffdaniel09 depends if it has a CVT, the older ones or newer ones are excellent vehicles. The new ones are solid too EXCEPT for the transmission. If you don’t mind replacing the transmission every 100k or if you change the fluid every 30k, you will get max life if you change the fluid that often
Scotty should I buy a used 2016 Mustang Gt with 34,000 miles for $24,000 Or buy a used 2016 Tacoma with with 194,000 miles for $21,000
Scotty you answered my questions on utube I'm honored..sinc 455.........
So grateful for Scotty and this wisdom about cars💥
The 'old time' batteries for flashlights he's referring to are NiCad. They are prone to a "memory effect", if you charge them without completely draining them, it will start to "remember" how much you charged it and only charge that much, permanently.
It has to do with "spikes" that would physically build themselves into the battery that cuts down the life.
Make sure you DO NOT drain Li-ion (what's in cell phones and most modern electronics) - this is not necessary and can DEGRADE these kind of batteries.
You on a roll Scotty
Have a 2012 Maxima and it's been great. About to turn 100k
J Craig my 07 Xterra still runs strong too
I learn so much from you thanks 👍
scotty..the 350z and 370z's are excelelent.. they have very little recalls and they are strong as tanks..but people do abuse them.. the best thing is that they are pretty good to service..
Thanks for doing a really great job in your videos.
Scotty's the type of guy.................. Who would make a great operations manager at a Car manufacturing company.... Turn Nissan Around!
Surprising to hear Scotty recommend NOT buying a Toyota. Of course he made it clear that the Yamaha engine was the problem.
