Thanks to you "Scotty" I bought my wife a Lexus RX350 2009 before prices went up during the Plandemic absolutely remarkable vehicle got a tremendous deal on it from a private seller with new tires THANKS AGAIN SCOTTY
You could have actually Googled this info. I Googled cars inexpensive to repair and maintain, and the Lexus came up. A lot of this info is found doing a Google search.
I had a 2005 Silverado with the 5.3L V8 . Put 340,000 Miles on it . 2 water pumps , 2 sets of brakes and 2 serpentine belts and it ran as smooth as new. The transmission had started to slip a little. Made in America. I almost forgot, 1 set of spark plugs and 1 coil pack. Drove it 15 years with under $1k of parts.
Thanks Scotty on the compliment for us Canadians . I actually worked on the new construction build at the Cambridge plant , not only do we build the vehicles well, but also the buildings that make the vehicles . lol 😆
I bought a 2015 350rx here in Florida with 43000 miles. I had a 2010 with 110000 miles that my brother in law wanted badly so I sold it to him and got the 2015 350rx last year for 23 thousand, a little high but they don't give them away! I will drive this car forever it is black with darker tan interior and looks like new. Drove a 2020 and the 2015 350rx to me drives better. Also have a 2009es with 130000 miles and just put a starter on it with surprised me but my mechanic only charged me $389.00 compare that to the dealer bid major difference! Love this channel watch every thing you do scotty! Keep it going !
My16 years old RX350 with 140,000 miles cost me almost nothing but oil filter change, brake pads and new tires. Round trip from San Diego to San Francisco and San Diego to Las Vegas twice a year with comfort and ease.
I am blessed to own one of 6000 made 2009 “Pebble Beach Edition “ RX 350’s At 185,000 miles on it, the paint quality Is unmatched. The fit and finish is still solid with the doors closing with only a slight touch. The interior seats are as nice as the one in this video. I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles using Mobile 1 full Syn. with no oil loss between changes. I’ll never trade or sell this car I love it that much! Thank you Scotty. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
I was a truck girl, even with a few health issues my 330 is a gem. Easy in and out, plenty of room throughout and comfortable. More bells and whistles than i need and everything works. I'm 72.
2010 RX 350, absolutely love it. Never going back. Will drive this one for a few years and buy another one and keep this for my weekend knock around vehicle
My 2006 RX400H that I bought from my father when I was 16, had 250,000 miles on it, I’m now turning 23 in 3 months, and the car has reached 370,000 miles. It was my hunting vehicle, as well as my dads before me. I have driven it to Canada and back from Minnesota, during a blizzard both ways. Colorado and back twice, and drove up the rocky mountain National park to 14,000 ft elevation 3 times. It has been out on frozen lakes with a foot and a half of snow many times. It’s also been a small-medium sized towing vehicle, hauling logs, a four wheeler, dirt, rocks, and many other things. As well as the many hours this car has sat idling before high school, after highschool, just hanging out with friends, and the many times it has sat to warm up during the winter before my dad went to work and I went to school. I have taken it to the same mechanics my father did and the worst “repairs” caused from the absolute brutal wear and tear my father and I put the “Mad Maxus” through was an axle. My father was involved in a couple accidents with it, never totaled and no one was injured but other than those repairs. The only things done to this car have been your normal full maintenances. It has served me well over the 6 years, 100,000+ miles, I have driven it, and the many places it has taken me. There is a mount that I think is broken and when I accelerate, especially on an incline, something bigger is jittering in the engine bay, and it happens when the hybrid system engages. We have come to the conclusion that we aren’t going to do anything major anymore to keep up with it and I just drive it like a grandma and hope it doesn’t break on me while I save for a new car. I do think the amount of hours on the road as well as idling on and off because of the hybrid, heavy use and slight abuse, is the reason there is the “jittering”, after 370k miles phphph 😂
Depends a lot on how you treat it. Drive hard and you're bound to have problems eventually. Drive gently and smoothly and it's bound to serve you well. I have a Mazda CX - 3 2018 model have done 163,000 km and haven't needed the brake pads replaced since I bought it new.
Pretty well put together these cars , we had a 1990 Land Cruiser Sahara in the family bought 2nd hand at 20 years old with 125,000 miles on it , 4.7 litre V8 auto , it ran like a clock and still drove like a beauty , a big solid SUV/station wagon with all the bells and whistles , a thirsty big girl and not sports car by any means, but a good family cruiser , put another 60,000 miles on , did nothing but service it , it still ran like a clock , we sold it because we had too many cars , and got the same money we paid for it. Kinda funny when you look at all these complex throw away electric cars, people buy them and sell them the next year for half the price.
got my wife one. 2000 RX300 143k miles for 2k i put a full tune, plugs coils and injectors. foe 1k. as new 3rd owner. Awesome best. mine is a GS300 1998 172k was driven hard. put in a jdm engin and trans. 3k. the best car I have ever owned. ho there the same color. Gold lol
I own a 2015 RX 350 F! Bought the car used 6 years ago with very low miles. So far it has been very solid. All I’ve ever done is change the oil ,tires and brakes. It is very smooth,very comfortable and very reliable. I would never get rid of it and watching your video just reinforces that feeling. I most definitely will not get rid of it.
I just left north park lexus in san Antonio as a technician. I can vouch for the rx350. Its very rare you will have a used car traded in with a check engine light light on & if they do most the time its a sensor
i had a toyota corolla for 10 years with 300k KM . the only things i change is aircon fan, aircon clutch. Never oil leaks, electronics never fail, engine, gearbox no problems. spare parts are cheap and labour cost are low as the parts are so easy to change and took little time. The only tradeoff is, it doesnt look cool, no fast pick up ( torque). if it is for A to B. It is perfect reliable, low maintenance car that can run on and on... Just my personal experience.
My 2020 Honda CR-V was made in Canada as well, specifically Alliston, Ontario. Like Toyota's, the Canadians do a good job manufacturing Honda's as well.
@@MBarberfan4life: Ditto. '05 Chrysler 300. Front windows locked in the up position. Can't tell if some mechanic glued them or if it's a computer issue. I don't think it's the overlimit switch because both locked up simultaneously.
@@MBarberfan4lifeIt depends on the car , over the years we have had a lot of cars from various brands , and definitely some brands cars are definitely better made , out of all the cars we have had , Toyota and Lexus have been generally a good peg or two above the rest , we’ve had 20 and 30 year old Toyota and Lexus models with everything still working including the electric windows 😊, as opposed to some other brands that basic items like electric windows, controls in general started to play up at about 7 years . In saying that , all cars regardless of brand will have issues at some time, but definitely some brands are overall built to last . And I think you can see that by the amount of repeat customers certain brands get. Lastly , you still have to do your homework, because mechanical trends over the years change , and some of the older simpler but refined technology was and is just better . My last car for example was a more basic big family Toyota sedan commonly used as a taxi in my country with everything you need with none of the gimmicky technology crap of today , it had a 13 year model run , so you know it had all the bug’s well and truly worked out, it’s now 7 years old , it doesn’t leak oil , it runs like a Beauty, and only had general servicing, NA 3.5 v6 , 6 speed old school conventional auto, it’s a good car that will see me out.
I bought my wife a 2013 RX-350 two years ago. The car is perfect. My daughter owns a 2015. I bought a 2002 sequoia in 2014. Paid 4k for it. My wife sold it for 6k in 2022. I own a 2007 FJ cruiser. Toyota is the smartest purchase you can make for a vehicle.
Toyota sienna 2006 194k miles starts up in 0 below 2011 ford explorer 172k miles still runs great also 2 Hondas and they lasted over 10years forget the mileage
My 2008 Lexus RX350 has 422,000 miles on it. I drive it everywhere. The only aggravation is the leaking front cover. Very small leak. Typical for any 2GR-FE. Just enough to stink sometimes burning on the exhaust. Not enough for me to warrant an engine out repair. Great car!!!
We had a 2919 Lexus RX450h, which is the hybrid version of the RX350. We got it because our daughter got one and loved it. The only reason we traded it was because the 2021 had an option for a bird’s eye view camera display as opposed to the 2019 backup camera only. We call it our $30,000 upgrade. We love this RX450h, just like we loved the 2019 model. I can see owning this for several decades. Seriously. Given how well designed and built it is, and how it performs with fuel mileage, more than adequate power, and being loaded with all the creature comfort option, it makes no sense to replace it. Ever. This is our first truly “forever” vehicles. As the RX450h is the same as the RX350 with a hybrid engine and motor, everything Scotty says about the RX450h is just as relevant. BTW, I love following Scotty’s posts. He is spot on.
I have a 2002 RX 300, 80K miles only, bought it new, what an excellent quality! I’m a retired mechanic, only had to change the front brake pads, rotor at 60K , changing oil, filters around every 10k. Since I’m in the California desert, no rust, everything looks clean, like new. Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed to drive a 22 year old car, but she feels and looks great, wouldn’t replace it with any new one😂
I bought a 2008 honda fit sport with 239,000 miles on it for 250$ . 2 years later 289,000 miles on it and i put new spark plugs and coil packs , tires, and a couple censors . Struts are next .
I had a 2007 Camry XLE with that beautifully engineered 2GR-FE V6. Sold it for more than KBB after 12 years and 278K miles on it. Still ran like the day it was made. Maintenance cost? 1x Alternator. The remaining MX items were wear and tear. I intentionally decided to swap out TX fluid at 170K and went through tires/brakes as needed. That engine was so darn good I decided to get a 2011 Camry SE in Bacelona Red with that same 2GR-FE. Found out a quick way to swap out coils/plugs that didn't require removing the intake manifold. Did on both cars in my garage. 2x cars=12 coils+plugs in less than 4 hours and filmed it all to share right here on YT. IMO I think the Gen 6.5 Camry is and still is the best looking variant of Camry. The newest Prius style might sway me as I've always said my next one will be hybrid and AWD. Toyota brought their game and I might just re-play the Camry card.
Scotty I think the Ford 350 Windsor owners wanted the 351 Cleveland. The Cleveland was by far the more powerful engine. I had a guy swap me for my broke down 1970 Cougar with the 351 Cleveland for a Windsor. I was 17 at the time and needed a car. He offered to do all the work of swapping the motors out, all he wanted was that 351 Cleveland in exchange. It put the engine in his race car.
My Lexus RX300 is the same way. Very reliable and comfortable. I have over 232,000 miles. Oil changes every 4,000 miles. My RX300 was made in Japan. I bought it from Private owner for $2,300. Old Toyoda will last forever 🐢🐢🐢🗽🗽🗽💯💯💯
I bought 2021 one last week, for 38k$ with 9k miles. Its a mid option it had all the option except from HUD and panoramic roof. I love this car, like brand new.
I owned a Lexus RX 350 2008 and loved it I sold it with 280,000 miles. My daughter wants to buy an NX model but under certified warranty. It’s expensive. Is it safe to safe one could buy one with that warranty and still be safe?
We have a 2008 RX350 with 182k miles. Nice ride, decent power, roomy for four. Have had the typical issues: dash cracks, rear drivers side window trim flew off at 155k. Replaced the ignition coils twice. Roughly 20mpg combined on 93 octane. It does go through brakes but it is an suv.
I had a 77 T Brig I bought off my uncle in 1987. It had the 351 Windsor. It had 206,000 miles when I bought it. I had it until 1989 when the engine went at 286,000 or so miles.
Looks like your driving that Tundra on Broadway near Art and Witte museums. I really like this video. Thanks for posting because alot of us go in blind when it comes to cars. It's a solid 👌
That Sequoia was a pretty good find for $5,000. It has almost 200k miles on it, but it should last another 100k at least, and the amount I drive, that would last me until I expire.
Hey Scotty, do you think my 2023 Toyota Camry LE hybrid was a good buy? I traded my 2020 Malibu LT off for it my extended warranty probably paid out 15k worth of repairs for that car. I just want to know if I made a good choice
Purchased a Lexus ES 2010, last summer and after a few months the car starting jerking. The mechanic said it was the transmission. It only has 94,000 miles on it.
Dear Scotty, I got a "wonder car", lasted 16 years so far with just the basic maintenance. "Lucifer" is a 2008 Pontiac G6. Before this one, I had Buik, Ford and GM all of them were in and out of service with all kinds of problems.
Saying no maintenance is wrong! If you maintain it you dont need to fix it often. I bought a tacoma and it wasn't maintained properly I got it done and what a difference. I'll keep it from now on
Mazda tribute 2001 6 cylinders. Paid $800 for a used one. Put about $2000 in 6 years for wear/ tear. I had 170K on it and now 223K. I think this is OK! WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A BUDGET , THIS WOULD DO FOR NOW😪
My wife and I own a 2004 Ford Focus with 214.000 on it. Yeah, we have had to spend $1500 on a catalytic converter and (this is the killer!) $500 for a thermostat. But that's it
I have a 2005 RX330, with 190k+. It has never had a problem. We just changed the timing belt. Replaced the fuel pump and that’s all. Change the oil every 5k. Just as good as the RX350. Oh, it still has the original Lexus battery. Can’t be it.😅
Scotty, our 2013 RX350 (105K miles) needs new spark plugs soon. We were quoted over $1000 from a couple of places. They say the location of spark plugs in RX is pain the rear to get to. Is this correct?
That is correct. You have to remove the intake plenum and possibly even the windshield cowl to access the rear plugs. $1000 is still high. A decent mechanic should be able to do the job within two hours and the parts are not expensive. Replacing the 3 rear coils while you're back there is not the worst idea.
It’s take about 2-3 hours to change spark plugs.. i change for my friend about 6 months ago 😊you need to take front wipers and motor of the wiper and take of the inlet manifold to get the back spark plugs
My 99 Corolla CE that I bought brand new, still purrs like a kitten. Mechanic to does my oil changes etc, just told me a few months ago that my car will survive me! lol Never regretted my purchase.
Scotty I took your advice and put 505 CRO + 505 CRF in my gas guzzling V8 - 2003 Ford Expedition 5.4L Triton. After changing the oil and finishing off the tank over the following week I refilled... and my "Mileage until Empty" reading jumped from its normal 340 miles to 444 miles. Is this possible???
I bought a 2014 Lexus is250 fsport from a Lexus dealer with 107k miles and the radio gps stopped working six months into me owning it. Haven't had music in ages
You can have an engine and transmission that last forever, and that used to determine vehicle life. But now, a bad computer, video screen or intermittent wiring gremlin can make an otherwise healthy vehicle too expensive or unreliable to keep. Even an expensive AC repair can kill it.
When I parted ways with my '07 Saturn Aura 3.5L V-6 199K miles, my wife likes the Acura '06, AWD MDX, so we got that 140K miles. I did replace the after market audio with the factory so I could have some, I just wish I was better than 12 something MPG.
Love ya Scotty, thank you for always giving people the truth. I actually live in South Carolina so pretty cool you mentioned my state. I definitely gotta agree with you when it comes to Toyotas. I like Hondas and Mazda's too personally. Love what you do giving people the truth and making the world a better place. God bless you man.❤️🔧
I had a 07 Mitsubishi lancer from 2010 to 2022 put over 220k miles on it then it finally took a dump on me no major repairs needed. I guess thats not on the level of these vehicles but i would get a Mitsubishi again in the future.
Scotty, I'm considering soft top SUV's. Would like to have manual transmission. Jeep Wrangler JLU vs Ford Bronco. Durability is a concern. What are your thoughts?
Scotty I know several people that have used the GMC 4.3 Vortec motor and have gotten over 400,000 miles and still running just fine. Enough with the Toyotas already
Scotty , love your videos! Not sure when this video was made but that RX350 can’t be 11 years old! That body style is 04-09, I own a 2011 RX and a 03 ES. Love them!!
I was given a 2005 Toyota Sienna 180,000 miles. Blew a head gasket within 5000 miles of us owning it. What causes a head gasket to blow? I checked coolent levels. I was hoping to get 100k out of it anyway being a Toyota. I own 2 other Toyotas

It has served me well over the 6 years, 100,000+ miles, I have driven it, and the many places it has taken me. There is a mount that I think is broken and when I accelerate, especially on an incline, something bigger is jittering in the engine bay, and it happens when the hybrid system engages. We have come to the conclusion that we aren’t going to do anything major anymore to keep up with it and I just drive it like a grandma and hope it doesn’t break on me while I save for a new car. I do think the amount of hours on the road as well as idling on and off because of the hybrid, heavy use and slight abuse, is the reason there is the “jittering”, after 370k miles phphph 😂
Amazing!
1. Lexus RX350
2. Toyota Tundra
3. Toyota Sequoia
Thanks bruh
Thx
Depends a lot on how you treat it. Drive hard and you're bound to have problems eventually. Drive gently and smoothly and it's bound to serve you well. I have a Mazda CX - 3 2018 model have done 163,000 km and haven't needed the brake pads replaced since I bought it new.
Pretty well put together these cars , we had a 1990 Land Cruiser Sahara in the family bought 2nd hand at 20 years old with 125,000 miles on it , 4.7 litre V8 auto , it ran like a clock and still drove like a beauty , a big solid SUV/station wagon with all the bells and whistles , a thirsty big girl and not sports car by any means, but a good family cruiser , put another 60,000 miles on , did nothing but service it , it still ran like a clock , we sold it because we had too many cars , and got the same money we paid for it.
Kinda funny when you look at all these complex throw away electric cars, people buy them and sell them the next year for half the price.
got my wife one. 2000 RX300 143k miles for 2k i put a full tune, plugs coils and injectors. foe 1k. as new 3rd owner. Awesome best. mine is a GS300 1998 172k was driven hard. put in a jdm engin and trans. 3k. the best car I have ever owned. ho there the same color. Gold lol
My 2002 rx300 got 272000 miles. Very reliable car. Just pay attention on shifter cable bushings. Got mine fix today. You can look up on TH-cam.
My rx300 lexus runs strong and smooth @270k , regular scheduled maintenance ❤ goes a long way .
My 2002 RX 300 has 215K miles on it , own it for 20 years still runs great with no issues. I am always Lexus RX fan
I own a 2015 RX 350 F! Bought the car used 6 years ago with very low miles. So far it has been very solid. All I’ve ever done is change the oil ,tires and brakes. It is very smooth,very comfortable and very reliable. I would never get rid of it and watching your video just reinforces that feeling. I most definitely will not get rid of it.
I just left north park lexus in san Antonio as a technician. I can vouch for the rx350. Its very rare you will have a used car traded in with a check engine light light on & if they do most the time its a sensor
i had a toyota corolla for 10 years with 300k KM . the only things i change is aircon fan, aircon clutch. Never oil leaks, electronics never fail, engine, gearbox no problems. spare parts are cheap and labour cost are low as the parts are so easy to change and took little time.
The only tradeoff is, it doesnt look cool, no fast pick up ( torque).
if it is for A to B. It is perfect reliable, low maintenance car that can run on and on...
Just my personal experience.
Can't beat Lexus. Worth every penny.
😂Lexus can't be beaten bur can be stolen
What about the new ones
@@HolyPelvisPresley Yep, even the new ones.
Scotty, I really appreciate ya. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and don’t plan to stop as long ya pop em out 😊
My 2020 Honda CR-V was made in Canada as well, specifically Alliston, Ontario. Like Toyota's, the Canadians do a good job manufacturing Honda's as well.
First thing I want to know about any car is whether it connects to the internet. For me, NO is the desired answer.
I can't stop having trouble with powered windows. People tell me to get with the times, but some technology is awful or awfully built.
😂😂😂😂
Lol nice priorities
@@MBarberfan4life:
Ditto. '05 Chrysler 300. Front windows locked in the up position. Can't tell if some mechanic glued them or if it's a computer issue. I don't think it's the overlimit switch because both locked up simultaneously.
@@MBarberfan4lifeIt depends on the car , over the years we have had a lot of cars from various brands , and definitely some brands cars are definitely better made , out of all the cars we have had , Toyota and Lexus have been generally a good peg or two above the rest , we’ve had 20 and 30 year old Toyota and Lexus models with everything still working including the electric windows 😊, as opposed to some other brands that basic items like electric windows, controls in general started to play up at about 7 years .
In saying that , all cars regardless of brand will have issues at some time, but definitely some brands are overall built to last . And I think you can see that by the amount of repeat customers certain brands get.
Lastly , you still have to do your homework, because mechanical trends over the years change , and some of the older simpler but refined technology was and is just better .
My last car for example was a more basic big family Toyota sedan commonly used as a taxi in my country with everything you need with none of the gimmicky technology crap of today , it had a 13 year model run , so you know it had all the bug’s well and truly worked out, it’s now 7 years old , it doesn’t leak oil , it runs like a Beauty, and only had general servicing, NA 3.5 v6 , 6 speed old school conventional auto, it’s a good car that will see me out.
I bought my wife a 2013 RX-350 two years ago. The car is perfect. My daughter owns a 2015. I bought a 2002 sequoia in 2014. Paid 4k for it. My wife sold it for 6k in 2022. I own a 2007 FJ cruiser. Toyota is the smartest purchase you can make for a vehicle.
I currently own a 18 year old Toyota corrolla 1.4 vvti - the goal/ dream car is a 2007 Lexus IS250 auto, I'll get there eventually 🤞
Still driving my 1995 Lexus ES 300 114, odd miles runs great..
Toyota sienna 2006 194k miles starts up in 0 below 2011 ford explorer 172k miles still runs great also 2 Hondas and they lasted over 10years forget the mileage
My 2008 Lexus RX350 has 422,000 miles on it. I drive it everywhere. The only aggravation is the leaking front cover. Very small leak. Typical for any 2GR-FE. Just enough to stink sometimes burning on the exhaust. Not enough for me to warrant an engine out repair. Great car!!!
I just bought an 07 RX350 with 295k on it for $3,200. Best vehicle I've ever had hands down and I've had showroom new before.
I nave a 2006 RX 330, 137000 miles love it
I have a Mercedes 190 D 40 years old Everything works as the first day. First colour on the car. It’s my daily driver.
We had a 2919 Lexus RX450h, which is the hybrid version of the RX350. We got it because our daughter got one and loved it. The only reason we traded it was because the 2021 had an option for a bird’s eye view camera display as opposed to the 2019 backup camera only. We call it our $30,000 upgrade.
We love this RX450h, just like we loved the 2019 model. I can see owning this for several decades. Seriously. Given how well designed and built it is, and how it performs with fuel mileage, more than adequate power, and being loaded with all the creature comfort option, it makes no sense to replace it. Ever. This is our first truly “forever” vehicles.
As the RX450h is the same as the RX350 with a hybrid engine and motor, everything Scotty says about the RX450h is just as relevant.
BTW, I love following Scotty’s posts. He is spot on.
Brought a 2016 for my wife in 2023 after we had a 2016 in 2021 that gor totaled... Loved both of them
Bought a 2010 Lexus RX350 in 2022 and have totally satisfied despite the age
Scotty what do you think about the Lexus RX Hybrid, still a great buy or are you recommending only the fuel type (petrol or diesel)?
I have a 2002 RX 300, 80K miles only, bought it new, what an excellent quality! I’m a retired mechanic, only had to change the front brake pads, rotor at 60K , changing oil, filters around every 10k. Since I’m in the California desert, no rust, everything looks clean, like new. Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed to drive a 22 year old car, but she feels and looks great, wouldn’t replace it with any new one😂
Always learning something new.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤❤
The LEXUS RX330 is stupid good.
I bought a 2008 honda fit sport with 239,000 miles on it for 250$ . 2 years later 289,000 miles on it and i put new spark plugs and coil packs , tires, and a couple censors . Struts are next .
I had a 2007 Camry XLE with that beautifully engineered 2GR-FE V6. Sold it for more than KBB after 12 years and 278K miles on it. Still ran like the day it was made. Maintenance cost? 1x Alternator. The remaining MX items were wear and tear. I intentionally decided to swap out TX fluid at 170K and went through tires/brakes as needed. That engine was so darn good I decided to get a 2011 Camry SE in Bacelona Red with that same 2GR-FE. Found out a quick way to swap out coils/plugs that didn't require removing the intake manifold. Did on both cars in my garage. 2x cars=12 coils+plugs in less than 4 hours and filmed it all to share right here on YT. IMO I think the Gen 6.5 Camry is and still is the best looking variant of Camry. The newest Prius style might sway me as I've always said my next one will be hybrid and AWD. Toyota brought their game and I might just re-play the Camry card.
2014 IS250...125k and smooth as silk
My Lexus RX400h has 256k miles and still going strong💪
Did you ever change the hybrid battery?
Once. Around 200k
The Japanese are building some decent vehicles. I have a Korean made Kia that was made in 2011 and it has been an excellent vehicle as well
Scotty I think the Ford 350 Windsor owners wanted the 351 Cleveland. The Cleveland was by far the more powerful engine. I had a guy swap me for my broke down 1970 Cougar with the 351 Cleveland for a Windsor. I was 17 at the time and needed a car. He offered to do all the work of swapping the motors out, all he wanted was that 351 Cleveland in exchange. It put the engine in his race car.
I have a 2014 RX350…145,000 miles ..I go car camping in it on the weekends…Lexus is crazy reliable 💪🏻
My Lexus RX300 is the same way. Very reliable and comfortable. I have over 232,000 miles. Oil changes every 4,000 miles. My RX300 was made in Japan. I bought it from Private owner for $2,300. Old Toyoda will last forever 🐢🐢🐢🗽🗽🗽💯💯💯
My parents owned a 1991 Lexus sedan with 450,000 miles on it and it still ran perfectly. Unfortunately, the car was destroyed in a hail storm.
I bought 2021 one last week, for 38k$ with 9k miles. Its a mid option it had all the option except from HUD and panoramic roof. I love this car, like brand new.
Kinda hard to wrap your mind around the fact that you will most likely not have to work on your car for the next 10 years or so isn't it?
We just got a 2009 toyota highlander. Has more pickup and rides better than my 2020 ford explorer work vehicle.
I owned a Lexus RX 350 2008 and loved it I sold it with 280,000 miles. My daughter wants to buy an NX model but under certified warranty. It’s expensive. Is it safe to safe one could buy one with that warranty and still be safe?
We have a 2008 RX350 with 182k miles. Nice ride, decent power, roomy for four. Have had the typical issues: dash cracks, rear drivers side window trim flew off at 155k. Replaced the ignition coils twice. Roughly 20mpg combined on 93 octane. It does go through brakes but it is an suv.
If I had enough money I'd probably get a Lexus too. As it stands I got a Mazda3 instead. Hopefully that lasts a while.
I had a 77 T Brig I bought off my uncle in 1987. It had the 351 Windsor. It had 206,000 miles when I bought it. I had it until 1989 when the engine went at 286,000 or so miles.
Looks like your driving that Tundra on Broadway near Art and Witte museums. I really like this video. Thanks for posting because alot of us go in blind when it comes to cars. It's a solid 👌
That Sequoia was a pretty good find for $5,000. It has almost 200k miles on it, but it should last another 100k at least, and the amount I drive, that would last me until I expire.
G’day from aus I’m currently driving a 93 Mitsubishi Magna 260000 kilometres drive’s like new none of your new cars are built this good
I just love this subscription. This guy tells you like it is. He's super great
Hey Scotty, do you think my 2023 Toyota Camry LE hybrid was a good buy? I traded my 2020 Malibu LT off for it my extended warranty probably paid out 15k worth of repairs for that car. I just want to know if I made a good choice
You 100% made the right decision.
HMy 2010 Dodge journey does not burn foil, has 236,000 kms smooth automatic transmission, original 2.4L 4 cyl engine
Purchased a Lexus ES 2010, last summer and after a few months the car starting jerking. The mechanic said it was the transmission. It only has 94,000 miles on it.
Dear Scotty, I got a "wonder car", lasted 16 years so far with just the basic maintenance. "Lucifer" is a 2008 Pontiac G6. Before this one, I had Buik, Ford and GM all of them were in and out of service with all kinds of problems.
I qatch your videos which are very helpful. I live in the Caribbean.
Saying no maintenance is wrong! If you maintain it you dont need to fix it often. I bought a tacoma and it wasn't maintained properly I got it done and what a difference. I'll keep it from now on
Mazda tribute 2001 6 cylinders. Paid $800 for a used one.
Put about $2000 in 6 years for wear/ tear. I had 170K on it and now 223K. I think this is OK! WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A BUDGET , THIS WOULD DO FOR NOW😪
5:50 Scottworth seeing Lexuses everywhere
My wife and I own a 2004 Ford Focus with 214.000 on it. Yeah, we have had to spend $1500 on a catalytic converter and (this is the killer!) $500 for a thermostat. But that's it
My Lexus RX 350 20 years old 180,000 MI works perfect
I have a 2005 RX330, with 190k+. It has never had a problem. We just changed the timing belt. Replaced the fuel pump and that’s all. Change the oil every 5k. Just as good as the RX350. Oh, it still has the original Lexus battery. Can’t be it.😅
Man tempted to get a 24 rx, but that twin turbo is scaring me away
Agreed these are some good cars for average civilian use.
Scotty, our 2013 RX350 (105K miles) needs new spark plugs soon. We were quoted over $1000 from a couple of places. They say the location of spark plugs in RX is pain the rear to get to. Is this correct?
That is correct. You have to remove the intake plenum and possibly even the windshield cowl to access the rear plugs. $1000 is still high. A decent mechanic should be able to do the job within two hours and the parts are not expensive. Replacing the 3 rear coils while you're back there is not the worst idea.
It’s take about 2-3 hours to change spark plugs.. i change for my friend about 6 months ago 😊you need to take front wipers and motor of the wiper and take of the inlet manifold to get the back spark plugs
if you live in South Australia close to my house I will change it for you
My 99 Corolla CE that I bought brand new, still purrs like a kitten. Mechanic to does my oil changes etc, just told me a few months ago that my car will survive me! lol Never regretted my purchase.
Scotty I took your advice and put 505 CRO + 505 CRF in my gas guzzling V8 - 2003 Ford Expedition 5.4L Triton.
After changing the oil and finishing off the tank over the following week I refilled... and my "Mileage until Empty" reading jumped from its normal 340 miles to 444 miles. Is this possible???
I bought a 2014 Lexus is250 fsport from a Lexus dealer with 107k miles and the radio gps stopped working six months into me owning it. Haven't had music in ages
You can have an engine and transmission that last forever, and that used to determine vehicle life. But now, a bad computer, video screen or intermittent wiring gremlin can make an otherwise healthy vehicle too expensive or unreliable to keep. Even an expensive AC repair can kill it.
My 95 Explorer exploded. I had it 8 years. 255k miles. So cute. Now what car should I buy? Fam says HRV. Not enough power for me. Civic?
Scotty (or whoever), I love the little pics you put in the top right corner!!!
When I parted ways with my '07 Saturn Aura 3.5L V-6 199K miles, my wife likes the Acura '06, AWD MDX, so we got that 140K miles. I did replace the after market audio with the factory so I could have some, I just wish I was better than 12 something MPG.
Love ya Scotty, thank you for always giving people the truth. I actually live in South Carolina so pretty cool you mentioned my state. I definitely gotta agree with you when it comes to Toyotas. I like Hondas and Mazda's too personally. Love what you do giving people the truth and making the world a better place. God bless you man.❤️🔧
I had a 07 Mitsubishi lancer from 2010 to 2022 put over 220k miles on it then it finally took a dump on me no major repairs needed. I guess thats not on the level of these vehicles but i would get a Mitsubishi again in the future.
Scotty, I'm considering soft top SUV's. Would like to have manual transmission. Jeep Wrangler JLU vs Ford Bronco. Durability is a concern. What are your thoughts?
Scotty I know several people that have used the GMC 4.3 Vortec motor and have gotten over 400,000 miles and still running just fine. Enough with the Toyotas already
Scotty , love your videos!
Not sure when this video was made but that RX350 can’t be 11 years old! That body style is 04-09, I own a 2011 RX and a 03 ES. Love them!!
Old skool is always the best
I was given a 2005 Toyota Sienna 180,000 miles. Blew a head gasket within 5000 miles of us owning it. What causes a head gasket to blow? I checked coolent levels. I was hoping to get 100k out of it anyway being a Toyota. I own 2 other Toyotas
Evertthing needs "Maintenance"!Cars ,People,Homes You name it!
Not a fkn Ford ranger
Scotty should come up with a list of cars that run forever
I wonder if a 2023 Ford Explorer XLT would make the list.????
