Whats A decent beater car that I can buy for low, I mean I rather a vehicle with a comfy interior, what do you suggest Scotty, Name at least 10 good beater cars I would buy preferable 1980s or 90s with 4 door (No coupe)
Hey Scotty ,i s it worth buying volvo s60 T SPORT 2.5 gasoline, 2004, 4wheels-AWD(made in sweden 100%.) ,is it worth if we ignore how much gasoline it takes, want powerful car and i dont want to spend a lot money for new car
I remember when Toyota announced in mid 80's that they were planning on going into luxury car market, a lot of people laughed. The Europeans weren't too worried. Never say never.
Fact! I'm literally getting my oil, oil filter and fuel filter done tomorrow as recommended by Scotty every 5k miles plus I sold my nice a6 audi and got a 04 Toyota Avensis with only 85k on the clock🤣 for €200 all it needed was a new clutch pml €550 all in ahhahahaha😂 I'm going to get it to 1 millions miles😎
ya boi Rico nah I know he doesn’t like them. I was just at a Chevy dealer the other day and it was a really nice place, must have come from all The money made fixing
Funny how one spends a lifetime searching for the perfect car. Then I stumbled across an old Lexus LS430. Wow, streets ahead of anything I had ever owned. Will never buy another car again. It will see me out. Comfortable, fast, quiet, reliable and more gorgeous than the wife. Thanks Scotty for your enjoyable vids.
The rx Lexus are great cars. Bought one for my ex. The trans went out at 80k but Lexus covered 75% of replacing. She ran that car for over 10 years up to 300k miles with no real issues and she barely maintained the thing. Probably would of kept going but she got tboned. Car was totaled but she walked away without a scratch. Highly recommend
My mom had one the 2003 model the transmission went out. That seems to be a trend the transmission. She was out 4k! I'm leery of the newer models. They are beautiful though.
@@golferpro1241 Make sure to get the transmission fluid and diffs serviced. With miles that low it’s probably on its original fluid and that’s a recipe for disaster. Keep it good shape. Low mile examples are gonna be worth a lot soon. I like them more than new ones. Too much crap going on IMO.
I will go for a Lexus instead of a Toyota, like the 2009 ES 350 sedan for sure. It is one of the best, luxurious vehicles in the market, than a garbage, 2005 BMW 5-Series and a decent, 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
I have a 2013 ES350 with now only 36k miles, I’m the 2nd owner, bought it last April 2019 with 30,009 miles ! Incredible Craftsmanship, Solid and dependability/reliability is unparalleled!! German Cars are empty $ pits as they age (5 + years) with high mileage (over 50k) miles !
I just picked up a gorgeous 2011 Lexus ES 350, fully loaded with pretty low mileage...trying to get used to driving it. Still have the 1995 Toyota Camry and it is my daily driver....such a world of driving difference. ..never owned a Lexus before, but glad I bought it. What a luxury car.......
What about replacement parts? I'm looking at a 2015 venza. I was thinking about Lexus but seeing how parts are still expensive for my "luxury" 2005 acura tl. Has me second guessing the Lexusususus lol
What I have found is buying something like a 5 year old or less Lexus is a good idea to consider since it was probably on average maintained better than a similar Toyota. They often get traded in for another new Lexus and those dealers sell the trade in at dealer auctions. Then they wind up on used car lots somewhere else. A Carfax type report will clue you in to that kind of history. Typically wealthier people buy them as new cars and let the dealers do all of the maintenance. They don't skimp if repairs are needed since cost is not a concern. I think you will find they are also in better cosmetic condition. In addition to some luxury you will probably get newer and better features. You just have to be careful not to pay too much like anything else.
I had a customer that has a 2007 Lexus RX350 and her neighbor's always told her to buy a new car but I told her to tell her neighbors that she doesn't need a new car because her Lexus RX350 had hardly any problems
I had an Acura and I learned that even though it’s nothing more than a upgraded Honda it costs way more to fix than a Honda when it does break. Same thing for Toyota/Lexus.
I have 01 Toyota Camry 300,000 miles runs like new and a 07 Lexus 350 RX 150,000 miles runs like new. Purchased the Camry 12. Yrs ago for $4500. Purchased the Lexus for $7000 5 yrs ago. Best vehicles I every owned hands down.
I drive a 04 RX 350 with 200K on it. Love it so much that I like to repaint it just to give it a shine. Love to get a new one with the new digital gadgets, but the old one keeps chucking along. What can I say? Another 200k to go.
Haters always say 'Lexus is just a Toyota'. But they don't realize that Lexus has thicker glass & paint, better sound deadening, and is much more refined than even their German counterparts.
I own an '08 Civic EX. No problems since I have owned it. There was a recall for the passenger airbag. Make sure that recall work was accomplished before you buy.
I had a 1992 Civic for 16 years for 235,000 hard mostly city miles. I thought it was the greatest car...until I drove a crappy Corolla, which was faster and quieter, and then a Camry, which was so quiet, I thought the Honda was a bucket of rattling bolts. When I got my first real job after college, I promised myself something nice and reliable...a Lexus. Even though I've had many cars since then (BMW, Volvo, MB, every shape Toyota), only the Lexus comes to mind as the forever car. We don't live forever, but sure as heck, I rather drive a nicer, quieter, more powerful, and safer car.
I traded a 2010 Lexus 450h for a 2012 Highlander Hybrid. No contest, the Lexus is better. Nothing wrong with the Highlander, but auto wipers and interior/exterior design is so much more pleasing. Just got another 2010 450h.
My dad has a 2000 Chevy Tahoe Z71 200k + miles and it still runs phenomenally. Really miss the old GM but sadly I don’t see them getting any better any time soon.
Catbeat Brigade a breeze. My biggest expensive were tires. Only have needed an oil change and my MAF was dirty and gave me a check engine. Easily CLEANED, didn’t replace, and it went away. It’s nothing too quick but it’s enjoyable.
The problem with having mechanics check them out is: where the heck can you find a mechanic? Trustworthy ones are a rare breed. I had one but he was so honest, he couldn’t make a living . Or maybe he was too tempted to go to the dark side.
I just bought a lexus is350 2009 with 85000 miles....this car is super smooth and super fast and im getting 28 mpg on highway only thing it needed was breaks....
Lexus is better buy used because you pay same price but get all the luxury goodies as a benefit on top of the unbeatable reliability. I have 3 Lexus and two Toyota’s. 1: 2004 Toyota Solara SLE V6 coupe 2: 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser fully loaded 3: 2006 Lexus ES330 fully loaded 4: 2007 Lexus ES350 5: 2008 Lexus LS460
"Lexus vs Toyota" isn't really a good argument in itself for a few reasons; alot of older Lexus models are literally just Toyotas rebadged as Lexuses for the USA from Japan.
I just purchased a 2003 Toyota Avalon v6 with 144,xxx miles for $2050 and the exterior was 7/10, the interior was 8/10 no leaks or any lights on with blowing cold ac what do you think of my decision??? ( I want to be in the video)😬
Lark T I have same car let me know if you will like to upgrade your radio to Android, I did this on my car dashboard with 10.2inch screen better than 2020 cars
Bought a 2010 Lexus gs350 in 2017 with 80k miles on it for $17k . It’s been the best vehicle we ever had. Got 125,000 miles on it now and no issues whatsoever (thank God) . We took a chance buying it with higher miles but it’s solid as a rock. I never had really looked into Lexus before and just thought they were really expensive rear wheel drive cars. Ours is all wheel drive which is what sold us on the car cuz we live in the snow belt. We thought about upgrading to a newer Lexus (RX 350) but don’t want any car payments now. The Lexus replaced my 2005 Nissan maxima that had 220,000 miles on it before it went. I was driving over 3 hours to work and back a day and needed a good car. We are now both retired and not putting hardly any miles on our vehicles. I have a 2011 Nissan maxima sv that’s fully loaded with only 71,000 miles on it and I barely run it. We usually take my wife’s Lexus. They are amazing cars.
Scotty bought a Saturn vue for 300$ 290k miles automatic transmission haven’t repaired and transmission is strong and the motor is strong its a wow for me
Agree rx350 is a good vehicle, the belts can definitely wear out for a vehicle 15 years old but as far as transmission/motor you’re not going to run into any issues until after 250k miles depending how you treat it, got a neighbor of mine with original motor and tranny on a 2004 rx330 and his is still good at 280k+ miles
My 2005 Prius battery went out after the 10 year warranty. I just went to a junkyard and bought a 2014 battery for $850. C'mon Scotty, not 7 or 8 thousand bucks. Even a new battery from Toyota is just $1950.
Scotty. Just an update. New factory Toyota prius batteries have 3 year warranties now and are a lot cheaper. I just had my mechanic install one in my 04 at 200k for $2200! The car has been the most reliable one I've owned in 40 years.
If your fuel pump keeps breaking it may be due to a clogged fuel filter forcing the fuel pump to work harder than its supposed to. Another culprit for fuel pump failure is the driver almost never fill their tank all the way and drive their car on near empty all the time.
@bcobb7777 i got a 13 Altima also and never had any trouble. My daughter even accidentally put diesel in it one day lol. Its got over 200000 on it now and other than spark plugs I've never touched the engine.
Piston slap. My 2001 tundra had it. I bought it new and with 20k miles on it, it was introduced to a Minnesota winter and it sounded like a diesel at startup. It went away after a few minutes but it was alarming. I took it in and that's what they said. So it does not mean it was not taken care of as I changed the oil every 3k back then and it has such low miles.
There's a cheaper workaround for EV batteries. Find someone to replace whichever cell is bad. A Prius has about 5 cells which are pretty common. If only one cell is out, the car won't go. Dealer will charge you $4K to replace the whole battery, but battery cell repair costs about $300/Cell. Replace one or two cells, for $600 and you get back on the road relatively cheap for another 50K miles.
My 99 v6 solara is a trooper tbh. Had 15 previous owners, been in a flood (water up to the seatbelts), leaks and burns oil, 260k+ miles. And I still use it as a delivery vehicle. In 55k miles the starter and alternator had to be replaced, that's all. Wild
I just traded my limited 2018 Toyota 4runner for a2020 Lexus gx460 premium... Way better and luxurious I wanted the g570 but the payment would of been Too high but I'm happy
Scotty , I am retired and looking for the new ( old car ) . What do you think about Lexus LS460 ( 2015-2017 ) or RX350 AWD ( 2017-2020 )? Thank you , Ziggy
That model Lexus RX is sold as a Toyota Harrier here in Thailand with a 2.4 liter engine and rearwheel drive. Newer model Harriers are great looking suv's.
I dont know why Scotty hates Tahoes...I have had 3 suburbans, and Yukons . No problems whatsoever. The 2001 Suburban had 300k on the transmission and engine when I sold it.
Suzuki rubbished without research? Surprising Scotty. The small 4x4's are extremely well respected around the world as tough and reliable. Check 'em out 👍
My issue with the Lexus versions is the mushy suspension. A GX460 compared to a 4runner is like night and day. The GX handles like a boat- mushy, slushy, and way too smooth for an SUV. I feel like Lexus killed all the 'trucklike' feel to make them more sellable to luxury drivers. I sold the GX in 3 months and got another 4runner.
Scotty please do a video ranking cars based on comfort, convenience and long-term reliability I watch every one of your videos, and I hope you do that vid. That would be the cherry on top 👌🍒
I am looking into a 2020 Toyota CHR Limited, it is non turbo, non all wheel drive, non GDI, a standard four cylinder with an excellent CVT 30 MPG highway, 26 grand loaded, looks like a great deal.
I always liked the smell of diesel. I think it comes from when I was a little kid my dad having a Datsun 4×4 pickup. I don't know if anyone of ya'll can relate to liking the smell of diesel.
Scotty...I'm still driving a 2004 chevy tracker v6 (a suzuki vitara in drag hiding behind a chevy badge) with 240k miles on it. It's not pretty. It's not fancy. But NO major work done on it and it fires right up. Suzuki did something right.

Read the carfax, buy a scan tool, and only look at reliable cars. Note: BMWs, Audis, MBs are all used car lot specials for a reason.
Just picked up a RX 400h. In love!!!!!
I just bought a lexus is350 2009 with 85000 miles....this car is super smooth and super fast and im getting 28 mpg on highway only thing it needed was breaks....
Lexus all the way!!!
If you have the money to repair it. Really a Toyota with leather seats
Rather B Fishing Lexus is the more reliable in this case 🤖
Lexus is better buy used because you pay same price but get all the luxury goodies as a benefit on top of the unbeatable reliability. I have 3 Lexus and two Toyota’s.
1: 2004 Toyota Solara SLE V6 coupe
2: 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser fully loaded
3: 2006 Lexus ES330 fully loaded
4: 2007 Lexus ES350
5: 2008 Lexus LS460
Bro ur E330 vs LS460 which one is better to own?
Rich guy
"Lexus vs Toyota" isn't really a good argument in itself for a few reasons; alot of older Lexus models are literally just Toyotas rebadged as Lexuses for the USA from Japan.
Lexus was created because of American snobbery
In the case of the Lexus GX460, they are a Toyota Prado not otherwise available on the American market.
I’m considering buying a 2017 Lexus RX 350. Are they expensive to maintain compared to a Toyota Highlander? Just curious.
Make a video driving your Toyota Celica
I just purchased a 2003 Toyota Avalon v6 with 144,xxx miles for $2050 and the exterior was 7/10, the interior was 8/10 no leaks or any lights on with blowing cold ac what do you think of my decision??? ( I want to be in the video)😬
2010 Lexus IS250 .. been problem free... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lark T I have same car let me know if you will like to upgrade your radio to Android, I did this on my car dashboard with 10.2inch screen better than 2020 cars
Sunde Wale i have the factory navigation.. only thing I would like too upgrade is the headlights... too the LEDs..
Guess: Lexus IS made in Japan... let’s see if I’m right
Small % made in Japan make it to US market from what I understand.
Paul Delasco CPS - They’re only made in Japan.
Well mine says assembled in Japan 🇯🇵
A Toyota plant in Ontario makes them also. They competed for top quality awards to be picked.
The lexus IS we're all made in Japan till 2012
Bought a 2010 Lexus gs350 in 2017 with 80k miles on it for $17k . It’s been the best vehicle we ever had. Got 125,000 miles on it now and no issues whatsoever (thank God) . We took a chance buying it with higher miles but it’s solid as a rock. I never had really looked into Lexus before and just thought they were really expensive rear wheel drive cars. Ours is all wheel drive which is what sold us on the car cuz we live in the snow belt. We thought about upgrading to a newer Lexus (RX 350) but don’t want any car payments now. The Lexus replaced my 2005 Nissan maxima that had 220,000 miles on it before it went. I was driving over 3 hours to work and back a day and needed a good car. We are now both retired and not putting hardly any miles on our vehicles. I have a 2011 Nissan maxima sv that’s fully loaded with only 71,000 miles on it and I barely run it. We usually take my wife’s Lexus. They are amazing cars.
I drive a 98 gs400 300,000miles and still not one major repair besides a crack in the radiator. Had it for 8 years so far
Keep in mind parts are gonna be more expensive, ive owned both
Thank you!
Scotty bought a Saturn vue for 300$ 290k miles automatic transmission haven’t repaired and transmission is strong and the motor is strong its a wow for me
Enjoy the VUE. ...
I drive a 2004 Lexus IS 300 with 205K miles. It runs great, I replaced the timing belt/water pump and plan on driving it until the wheels fall off
Agree rx350 is a good vehicle, the belts can definitely wear out for a vehicle 15 years old but as far as transmission/motor you’re not going to run into any issues until after 250k miles depending how you treat it, got a neighbor of mine with original motor and tranny on a 2004 rx330 and his is still good at 280k+ miles
RX 350 doesn’t have a timing belt it’s chain driven.
I am listening to a two and a half hour AWS commercial for you Scotty, so you can get paid, and because that's ALL that I can do!
The Lexus LX or GX suvs are at the top of my list for when I buy my first car in a couple months. Can’t wait.
Good luck finding them
Have the wallet ready for gas
Luke Sylvester thanks bro
kclefthanded 427 lmao yeah I know about the mpg
Scotty should work for Lexus. He sold me a '14 ES350 about a year ago without even knowing it. If it was AWD, it'd be the world's best sedan.
Just got a mint 2011 gs 350 thanks to scotty 👍 absolutely love it
My 2005 Prius battery went out after the 10 year warranty. I just went to a junkyard and bought a 2014 battery for $850. C'mon Scotty, not 7 or 8 thousand bucks. Even a new battery from Toyota is just $1950.
On line listed at 2200-2600 without installation.
Thank you for sharing from Australia ❤
Scotty. Just an update. New factory Toyota prius batteries have 3 year warranties now and are a lot cheaper. I just had my mechanic install one in my 04 at 200k for $2200! The car has been the most reliable one I've owned in 40 years.
I have a 2013 Lexus IS-F and I love it. Always admired Lexus reliability, beats my brainwashed family's German cars hands down. When will they learn.
LEXUS... next question
Does anyone know where to find a good mechanic like him?
2019 RX350 - love it! Except for that pesky fuel pump thingy they don’t know how to fix...
If your fuel pump keeps breaking it may be due to a clogged fuel filter forcing the fuel pump to work harder than its supposed to. Another culprit for fuel pump failure is the driver almost never fill their tank all the way and drive their car on near empty all the time.
I am the original owner of a 1994 Honda Accord DX. Have owned it for 26 years and it still runs. Great car.
He always giving Nissan a hard time, but I've had 3 of them, and all three have been great cars.
@bcobb7777 i got a 13 Altima also and never had any trouble. My daughter even accidentally put diesel in it one day lol. Its got over 200000 on it now and other than spark plugs I've never touched the engine.
Piston slap. My 2001 tundra had it. I bought it new and with 20k miles on it, it was introduced to a Minnesota winter and it sounded like a diesel at startup. It went away after a few minutes but it was alarming. I took it in and that's what they said. So it does not mean it was not taken care of as I changed the oil every 3k back then and it has such low miles.
Put half a can of Seafoam in the gas and drive it. Thank me later.
@@superteamvideo1930 I sold that truck in 2004.
Love your videos it has a lot of info you are the reason i didn't buy passat instead I bought camry.
Thanks 😊
There's a cheaper workaround for EV batteries. Find someone to replace whichever cell is bad. A Prius has about 5 cells which are pretty common. If only one cell is out, the car won't go. Dealer will charge you $4K to replace the whole battery, but battery cell repair costs about $300/Cell. Replace one or two cells, for $600 and you get back on the road relatively cheap for another 50K miles.
I just love this guy
My 99 v6 solara is a trooper tbh. Had 15 previous owners, been in a flood (water up to the seatbelts), leaks and burns oil, 260k+ miles. And I still use it as a delivery vehicle. In 55k miles the starter and alternator had to be replaced, that's all. Wild
I just traded my limited 2018 Toyota 4runner for a2020 Lexus gx460 premium...
Way better and luxurious
I wanted the g570 but the payment would of been
Too high but I'm happy
What an effective info source you are! Talks with both mouth and hands! Just brilliant! You know your stuff! Cheers!
scotty “i had a customer “ Kilmer
SCOTTY IS THE GOOGLE OF THE AUTO WORLD 🤣😂🤣
That's for sure always have a mechanic to check your vehicles.. before buying
Scotty , I am retired and looking for the new ( old car ) . What do you think about Lexus LS460 ( 2015-2017 ) or RX350 AWD ( 2017-2020 )? Thank you , Ziggy
That model Lexus RX is sold as a Toyota Harrier here in Thailand with a 2.4 liter engine and rearwheel drive. Newer model Harriers are great looking suv's.
Have a 2007 toyota highlander 3.3L V6 198800 miles. Runs Fantastic with 5000 mile oil changes. And Timing belt/water pump at 120000miles
No matter what your car Brand question is / Scotty's answer is T O Y O T A!
Love the videos, Scotty!
2011 Lexus es350 ftw!!
SAOrules yup! That’s my car and I love it. Zero problems!
Scotty, still waiting for a video on the Lexus AWD system. How does it stack up to the Subaru system?
Better yet, how does it stack up with the superior Audi Quattro Torsen based 4wd...
@@mrtyreus0 The only problem I've heard about the Subaru AWD is it's connected to the horrible boxer engine and the notorious fender rust issue.
I dont know why Scotty hates Tahoes...I have had 3 suburbans, and Yukons . No problems whatsoever. The 2001 Suburban had 300k on the transmission and engine when I sold it.
Every lucky guy thinks the rest of the Herd is just Unlucky. ..correct? ?
@@donridgeway9566 I have a lot of coworkers/ family that strive them as well, no major problems that I have heard of.
Suzuki rubbished without research? Surprising Scotty.
The small 4x4's are extremely well respected around the world as tough and reliable. Check 'em out 👍
Scotty thank you for everything. God bless you.
I have a 96 accord, still running strong at 220k miles.
The old accords were better. I think that is the spaceship one.
My issue with the Lexus versions is the mushy suspension. A GX460 compared to a 4runner is like night and day. The GX handles like a boat- mushy, slushy, and way too smooth for an SUV. I feel like Lexus killed all the 'trucklike' feel to make them more sellable to luxury drivers. I sold the GX in 3 months and got another 4runner.
weak
Lexus IS the best if you have the money
Toyota is the best for you're money
Scotty please do a video ranking cars based on comfort, convenience and long-term reliability
I watch every one of your videos, and I hope you do that vid. That would be the cherry on top 👌🍒
Not sure what you mean by "convenience," but you can't beat Lexus for comfort and reliability.
I am looking into a 2020 Toyota CHR Limited, it is non turbo, non all wheel drive, non GDI, a standard four cylinder with an excellent CVT 30 MPG highway, 26 grand loaded, looks like a great deal.
I always liked the smell of diesel. I think it comes from when I was a little kid my dad having a Datsun 4×4 pickup. I don't know if anyone of ya'll can relate to liking the smell of diesel.
Scotty...I'm still driving a 2004 chevy tracker v6 (a suzuki vitara in drag hiding behind a chevy badge) with 240k miles on it. It's not pretty. It's not fancy. But NO major work done on it and it fires right up. Suzuki did something right.
Scotty.... greetings to you from jamaica
hello!
