Don't even make Saturn's anymore so may be a challenge finding parts etc and why fix a car that has very minimal value without damage or even worse with damage!
Probable unpopular opinion, get that Mercury Tracer, it'd be fun to see vids on it on your channel, plus you just do NOT see those anymore and when you do they're usually rotted out beyond repair. This one's solid but in need of care, which gives it SOME redeemability lol OBVIOUSLY you'd be buying it for the entertainment value more than to actually make anything from it but still
My mom had one of those Ford Escorts when I was younger. It was a caramel colored stick shift one, a 94. I love these 90’s cars for nostalgia as well. I only remember hers running hot at one point lol
I can personally verify the story about the Saturn SLs. I worked for a former Saturn dealership in New Orleans for a few years, and the most common issues were people wanting to replace the SL2 motors with another SL2 motor and never thought to replace the transmissions in them. Randy's story fully checks out on the Saturn
Randy, I so enjoy your content. Even more now that you are showing and talking about motorcycles too. Shame on the people that put down others for the vehicle they enjoy, which is what makes you a great person to watch on TH-cam. You share and enjoy cars that I may not even look at twice, but you share your stories about them and bring some of these under appreciated cars back to life. Keep it positive and I will keep on watching no matter the type of vehicle.
I still remember the very first video of yours that I watched, it was the one with the orange Pontiac Aztek. I was hooked after that. Hope you're doing well and just want to say thank you for all the time you put into your videos.
Hey Randy. In Ohio if you get you license on a trike you are only permitted to ride a trike. It is a trike endorsement. If you get your motorcycle endorsement on a bike then you can ride a trike or a bike.
Got my fingers crossed for you on that Saturn Redline! Hope you get it. Would love to see it on your channel. I bet what makes that Ford Focus so special is the money owed on it. That Tracer just needs a trip to LLC and Maco and some work and it could be as good as new!
8:30 it looks like that amp is powering the door speakers, probably a really nice sound system in there, but that carpet should not be suffocating those amps like that
You should buy the Mercury it’ll be fun to see it come back to life and someday it’ll be a classic and it will be one of little left because people just throw them away
I've known a few trike owners that were motorcycle owners but due to physical limitations they had to give up two wheels. With the trikes they can still enjoy their riding.
You asked for comments on favorite bikes, many may laugh but I had a Suzuki Burgman 650, I thought it drove like a dream. Enough power to cruise the highway all day, always consistent and reliable, it was over 600 lbs, many features that are extras on other bikes are built in. Yes, it's a scooter, which really just means the motor is between your feet instead of your knees. Some don't think its cool enough, so be it. I bought it when gas prices were over $4, got rid of it when cars threatened to run me off the road.
My friends parents bought there 94 Escort wagon new they still drive it weekly I just saw them last week 341k miles they use it for groceries and taking there little dogs to the park
Randy I'm liking that saturn ion redline. I think it's worth fixing. Honestly it doesn't look that bad at all. If you can source the parts, that ion is worth it. Seems like a fun car
The Redline is a great car for us broke enthusiast on a budget 😂 Love them cars. I think the rear quarter might be difficult to find but very worth of a rebuild!!!
Cool vid. We had two 1993 Escorts with the 1.9 litre engine. Had the silver one from 93 to 2005, motor was good still but body rotted out. Then found a mint 1993 Sunrise Red one with about 25000 miles and kept that until 2013. Cool bikes too! 😎👍🇨🇦
Randy, the Focus has a "Little Buddy" heater on the dash...we used to use these for cold box development work. We would leave the heater on while the vehicle is being cold soaked so the windshield won't frost over when you drive the car out of the cold box into much warmer air. Maybe the defroster mix door is broken?
The 91 Escort was my Drivers Ed car in school. This one was in the early part of that generation since it didn't come equipped with airbags. It did have an after market passenger brake pedal installed.
I’d love to see that Mercury Tracer being saved. If everyone throws these away there won’t be any left sometime .... would be sad And it would be very fitting to the Tempo you just saved
I had a few of those 1.9 Ford escorts and I never had a problem with any of them. Changed the timing belts when they were suppose to be. Had over 300 thousand on them when I sold them and they were still running and driving great
23:50 You know, THIS is part of what makes your channel AWESOME… You gave us that back-story that for me I think is the cherry on top that would make this car GREAT content for the channel. It's your story along with your heart and personality - it's the whole package, dude. I'd say if you can get it for 500 bucks or less, go for it. The channel content alone could be worth it. Just a side thought (not that you would want to go down this route) but you could also cut the roof and turn it into one of your fun "go-cart" projects before scrapping it... OR, Indeed, get a cat for it, run it through Macco, etc. and send it down the road for a student who needs an economical car for 1200 bucks or whatever :-) Good channel content, regardless.
Personally like the Harleys but a Yamaha MT i dig too, not so much the racing models, to each their own, wouldnt be fun if we all like same right. Big Up!
Trikes are what you ride when you get old and two wheels aren't comfortable any more and you don't want to stop riding. Some states and provinces brand your motorcycle license as only for trikes/three wheels if that is what you got your license on. This includes side car equipped motorcycles.
In the 90's used to work at a bar and grill that delivered food. We had a couple of those Mercury Tracers for delivery vehicles. The engines in those were little rippers. We used to drive those things like we were running from the police.
The bar in the front is to make it look like the sable and to disguise it from the escort so people know that was the tracer. They never lite up they were just for show
Wow my grandmother had a teal 93 escort sedan except my grandmothers was in great condition garaged 40,000 original miles before it was totaled in a wreck last year
I'm like you, Randy, I like Miata's, To have someone pull up at a red light, and trash talk me, that's not cool, not cool at all. It's the same way with the gentleman on the Harley, he was enjoying his day, and some douche pulls up, and starts trash talking him. I wish more people would respect what people drive, or ride. I mean, they're enjoying their day, and somoone has to ruin it for them, make them feel bad. How would they like it, if someone came up to him, and started trash talking him for riding one of those sport bikes? You get the idea, people are rude sometimes. Thanks for the video, Randy.
Those Focus models from 05-07 and 08-11 were gold as good as any Civic or Corolla and cost way less. But dang, gotta be someone trying to find a sucker at 5k. "Com'n man".
I love the ford focus especially mine. The things I don't like about them is the horn and location of the transmission fluid check point and where to put in the transmission fluid.
I would love to see more Saturn's since I had a 97 Saturn SL 2 for years, it was a great daily driver. I dated a girl that had a 99 SL 1. Great little cars in it's day.
The Saturn would be a great project and interesting to watch. The Tracer, if it could be had for $200 or so max would be another one to see what the Auto Spa could do. Maybe do a little “home cooking” on the paint and see what happens.
Go for the Saturn Redline and the trike. Then you can do a personal side by side comparison of that compared to a regular motorcycle. The redline can be for the nostalgia and fun of it.
My friends girlfriend bought a Tracer brand new like the one you showed Hers Was Tic Tac Green thanks for another good walk around I love hearing your stories about different vehicles
now i have the performance version of the esport and i kept mine runnin ever since 2010 at the time my license was 4 years old so i have to renew it after a month of buying it
I agree with you 100% that’s not cool at all being trash talked like that, me personally motorcycles scare the shit out of me but I don’t shit talk people for enjoying them whether it’s a Harley or crotch rocket……as long as the rider is having fun and respecting the rules of the road then that’s all that matters…….I love your video content randy keep up the great work!!!
Randy that Saturn Redline would be a great car for the channel, doesn’t look too bad to fix and it seems like a very fun car
I remember these cars being advertised on TV when I was in high school
I thought they were the coolest thing out there I wanted one.
I miss Saturn!
I agree!
I was so bored rn , and here comes randy in rescue !
The Tracer would be a fitting follow up to the Tempo.
Yes get the tracer!!!!
Yes!
If you can get the parts, the Redline is a worthy contender.
Don't even make Saturn's anymore so may be a challenge finding parts etc and why fix a car that has very minimal value without damage or even worse with damage!
I would love to see the look on the guys faces at the Autospa when you show up with that Tracer. 😂
Probable unpopular opinion, get that Mercury Tracer, it'd be fun to see vids on it on your channel, plus you just do NOT see those anymore and when you do they're usually rotted out beyond repair. This one's solid but in need of care, which gives it SOME redeemability lol
OBVIOUSLY you'd be buying it for the entertainment value more than to actually make anything from it but still
I wife and I have had three Saturn’s in the past get that one fix it up you won’t be disappointed everybody loves them😘😘😘😘😘
My mom had one of those Ford Escorts when I was younger. It was a caramel colored stick shift one, a 94. I love these 90’s cars for nostalgia as well. I only remember hers running hot at one point lol
My mom did too. It was a white 2 door i think.
I had a purple 95 sedan 5 speed. At about 250,000 the trans just locked the front wheels without warning
Your content is always good and i think you are a fair and genuine human being
I can personally verify the story about the Saturn SLs. I worked for a former Saturn dealership in New Orleans for a few years, and the most common issues were people wanting to replace the SL2 motors with another SL2 motor and never thought to replace the transmissions in them. Randy's story fully checks out on the Saturn
Love the Saturn. Definitely takes me back to the 90s. I used to own one. I remember the advertisement too. "Saturn, a different kind of company"
I drive a 98 escort LX 230 xxx miles still rolling strong

DECENT!! Bubbles haha Trailer Park Boys is awesome
You killed me with the Bubbles “Decent!” comment 😂
Yes I would love to see that Mercury come back to life
Hey Randy. In Ohio if you get you license on a trike you are only permitted to ride a trike. It is a trike endorsement. If you get your motorcycle endorsement on a bike then you can ride a trike or a bike.
Always love your content Randy also including bikes walk around was a great thing,. Good work man.
Got my fingers crossed for you on that Saturn Redline! Hope you get it. Would love to see it on your channel. I bet what makes that Ford Focus so special is the money owed on it. That Tracer just needs a trip to LLC and Maco and some work and it could be as good as new!
Love how you respect others and call out those who don’t. Enjoying all your walk around videos. Peace
Many years ago we used to change the timing belt on an escort i n half an hour or less,they were great a to b cars
8:30 it looks like that amp is powering the door speakers, probably a really nice sound system in there, but that carpet should not be suffocating those amps like that
Not gonna lie I love the Co Part walk arounds. Don't care what you buy lol.
You should buy the Mercury it’ll be fun to see it come back to life and someday it’ll be a classic and it will be one of little left because people just throw them away
Your walk arounds are awesome! Buy the Mercury 😃😃😃😃
I've known a few trike owners that were motorcycle owners but due to physical limitations they had to give up two wheels. With the trikes they can still enjoy their riding.
That I can understand.
awesome video today Randy I like that Saturn Redline would be fun watching you bring that thing back to the road!
You asked for comments on favorite bikes, many may laugh but I had a Suzuki Burgman 650, I thought it drove like a dream.

That Saturns real nice fix it up for us
My friends parents bought there 94 Escort wagon new they still drive it weekly I just saw them last week 341k miles they use it for groceries and taking there little dogs to the park
I would drive the escort/tracer as a daily work car. I had a 93 two version years ago
Randy I'm liking that saturn ion redline. I think it's worth fixing. Honestly it doesn't look that bad at all. If you can source the parts, that ion is worth it. Seems like a fun car
Really appreciate your work, randy!

The verbal shenanigans 🤣🤪😜 of FORD FOCUS just killed me with laughter 🤣😂😆. Maybe it laid an egg that is why its 5000$. 😄😄😄😄😄
It's a svs but it's a auto so yah I don't know why anyone would buy a 2.5 focus with a auto
That saturn looks perfect!! Greetings from Argentina Randy!!
I’d love to see that Mercury Tracer being saved. If everyone throws these away there won’t be any left sometime .... would be sad
And it would be very fitting to the Tempo you just saved
I had a few of those 1.9 Ford escorts and I never had a problem with any of them. Changed the timing belts when they were suppose to be. Had over 300 thousand on them when I sold them and they were still running and driving great
Never knew that they made a Saturn redline! I like it!
Trip down memory lane today. Have a great day Randy.

Saturn's are awesome cars. Keep the content coming.
Saturn very reliable! I had one till a drunk used me as a ramp. Put over 250k miles on mine. Loved it!!
I dig the Saturn and the Tracer.
Dude that Mercury is content GOLD!
Personally like the Harleys but a Yamaha MT i dig too, not so much the racing models, to each their own, wouldnt be fun if we all like same right. Big Up!
It's from the UK that's why it has a heater in it did you see UK on the number sticker
I'm loooooving this week
Hi Randy, I love your Copart videos. they are the best!
TY as always Randy, LOVE this channel!
Trikes are what you ride when you get old and two wheels aren't comfortable any more and you don't want to stop riding. Some states and provinces brand your motorcycle license as only for trikes/three wheels if that is what you got your license on. This includes side car equipped motorcycles.

Get the Ion Redline. A lot of Saturns were rebadged Opels. You can probably find a lot of parts overseas if you couldnt find any here
That Toyota Corolla that was on the side of that Ford focus on the second car that you did looks very nice look at that if you could
Good video. Liked the cars and the bikes.
I Love this kind of Walk around,Keep up the Good Work
I fully support you buying and rebuilding that redline. Would be fun project and fun after it’s done
The trike would be interesting, especially since it looks reasonably clean.
I would love to see what the auto spa could do with the mercury
MERCURY TRACER YESSS! My brother had 1991-'93 LTS from 2004-2008 until the engine overheated. Nostalgic childhood memories in that sh*tbox.
That Saturn brings back memories when I was in school,I forgot about the middle gauges.
My daily is a '93 Escort, love that shitbox!!!
The bar in the front is to make it look like the sable and to disguise it from the escort so people know that was the tracer. They never lite up they were just for show
Great walk around😀
Wow my grandmother had a teal 93 escort sedan except my grandmothers was in great condition garaged 40,000 original miles before it was totaled in a wreck last year
Good video brother keep up the good work
7:40 Decent! that is a nice shopping cart right there
I'm like you, Randy, I like Miata's,
To have someone pull up at a red light, and trash talk me, that's not cool, not cool at all.
It's the same way with the gentleman on the Harley, he was enjoying his day, and some douche pulls up, and starts trash talking him.
I wish more people would respect what people drive, or ride.
I mean, they're enjoying their day, and somoone has to ruin it for them, make them feel bad.
How would they like it, if someone came up to him, and started trash talking him for riding one of those sport bikes?
You get the idea, people are rude sometimes.
Thanks for the video, Randy.

I love the ford focus especially mine. The things I don't like about them is the horn and location of the transmission fluid check point and where to put in the transmission fluid.
Love watching your TH-cam always showing varieties of cars makes it more interesting to watch
I would love to see more Saturn's since I had a 97 Saturn SL 2 for years, it was a great daily driver. I dated a girl that had a 99 SL 1. Great little cars in it's day.

The Topaz/Tempo has a a button on the left side of the steering column as a key release.
The thing in that Focus looked like an air ionizer. Useful for getting odors out of cars.
Whoa that Saturn would be an interesting rebuild 😲🔥👍🏾
Sending love support and respect from Boston 💯💖💙
Hi buddy good to see you again take care good luck my friend
I clicked in less than a second
Dang that was fast!!!
Give yourself a gold star.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds I gotta say, these Copart walk arounds are fun to look at😂
Keep it up fam!
Go for the Saturn Redline and the trike. Then you can do a personal side by side comparison of that compared to a regular motorcycle.
The redline can be for the nostalgia and fun of it.
My friends girlfriend bought a Tracer brand new like the one you showed Hers Was Tic Tac Green thanks for another good walk around I love hearing your stories about different vehicles
Youd be suprised there are whole facebook pages for Ford escorts and mercury tracer . Would totally drive one.
Love the redline , don’t forget the green Honda that’s right next to it !!
Run from the moist Mercury! Go for that supercharged Saturn! Love supercharged engines.
Would love to see that old mercury brought back!!!😄
now i have the performance version of the esport and i kept mine runnin ever since 2010 at the time my license was 4 years old so i have to renew it after a month of buying it
Well I’ll ask him mercury tracer and that would be a good little car to drive back-and-forth to work but who wants one LOL
Some Focuses are worth $5,000. Only if it’s a semi-low mile SVT. Those are awesome and rare.
I agree with you 100% that’s not cool at all being trash talked like that, me personally motorcycles scare the shit out of me but I don’t shit talk people for enjoying them whether it’s a Harley or crotch rocket……as long as the rider is having fun and respecting the rules of the road then that’s all that matters…….I love your video content randy keep up the great work!!!
The green Honda Element to the side of the Saturn looked interesting. Great vehicle to work on and used to be popular.
That Red line should go cheap, and there should be a selection in salvage yards.
Your the best randy.
How much did that last Ford tempo sell for? I’m just curious!
I had a silver Mercury Tracer back in the day. It had a 5 speed!
Hey Randy, yeah the redline would be a cool car to get, not too bad to repair either.
