rev up your engines a dealer who sold a Toyota Supra for
more than $100,000 he marked it up so much to me it just shows the greed of
people now they got a new model oh it's hot it's not even a toyota supra
it's a BMW roadster yeah but the guy marked it up that high
because he found somebody wanted to buy it no I mean yeah they're fast people
are just getting too greedy they see oh there's people I really want that car
let's see how much money we can sell that thing for they're kind of going
against Toyota's whole thing of buying something that glass that people can
afford and then they can sell a whole bunch of them to me I don't even
comprehend why they're even making the things I mean Toyota isn't even really
backing them they're just BMWs in there marketing them it's to me that's just
kind of crazy they got a name and that in their confidence in the name by
selling a BMW as a Toyota and then the greed of people selling them for over a
hundred thousand dollars things would get silly and people he'd carried away
with the stuff but like I said in an earlier video there's so much money in
the world that if somebody wants to spend that kind of money then they'll charge
it to him but hey Toyota I think you're
going the wrong route the doctor Scotty is it better to buy a used rav4
or tacoma from a private owner or a dealer well you might from a dealer you're
gonna pay way too much if they give four grand on a trade and they're gonna start
asking at least eight or ten thousand dollars for the vehicle they want to
watch morning it's always better to try to buy it from a private individual
because hey at the dealership they finance when you're buying from a dealer
you're gonna pay you know 250 a month or whatever go to a private individual hey
they're not gonna charge you 250 a month they want all the money at once and you
just say to him look I can get it at the dealer I can pay him 250 a month I'll
pay you 215 I don't know I want the whole thing they want the whole thing
they're gonna get last money that's just how it works when you're buying used
anything Brandon Agera says Scotty any opinions on a 2010 Ford Fusion se
four-cylinder 6-speed manual God they're pretty good cars the problem that they
had with those was transmission problems especially the ones had the CVT
transmissions but if you're talking about the manual transmission you are
bypassing a lot of problem areas ride really nice and with the standard
transmission you don't have to worry about all that things
now if you're talking about buying it it's ten years old
four-cylinder you know I wouldn't pay that much for it ten year old Ford
four-cylinder and worth all their much money if you get a decent price on it
could be a fun car the night clicker how can you tell if the odometer was rolled
back well I'll tell you can't tell you know they're all digital now so
somebody's computer savvy and they know how to grow that residual thing back
you're never gonna be able to figure it out if you use any of these CARFAX type
things generally you can get access to the state inspections and the reports
and they'd have the real mileage each time from when it was brand-new I just
checked the car on that and every year childer was more mileage so you know it
was real but I did have a customer who bought a car and it said it had 135 and
the last inspection it said it had 195 so obviously they rolled that one back
you'd want data like that to see if it's been rolled back Joe picket I got a
09 Ford Mustang v6 with 118 thousand miles I noticed when I brake there's
a lot of brake dust change the brake pads to a better quality brake pad I've
had great luck over the years with Akebono I know it's a Japanese
company but they make pads for Mustangs and lots of other cars it's the best
ceramic pads they're quiet they stop really well they don't fade and they
don't leave much dust that's what I do now if you don't mind it doesn't hurt
anything but it gets everything dirty you don't want to dirty change to the
Akebono pads and you won't have that problem I've done that on tons of
Mustangs Kyle Baker says why don't you do many older car videos because most
people don't drive older cars anymore I'm a professional mechanic I run my own
business I have for last 40 some odd years so I work for my father I'm a
grandfather and I work on cars that my customers have I don't have that many
customers with older cars I mean if you saw recently I had a Volkswagen fan spec
station why again I got a guy with a 69 Mercury Cougar but I don't make that
many videos for older cars because they aren't that popular I want to help out
as many people as I possibly can with these videos and of course I want to
make as much money as I possibly can and if I make videos that have millions of
views then for the Google advertising I make more money I'm happier and more
people are watching my video so I'm helping more people
and I just found that really old cars a friend of mine Canada I went to school
with years ago he says hey scotty look at me
at the classic car meet it's only me and a bunch of other older guys out there and
that's the truth older cars generally only old guys
looking at it and there are more younger people than our older people so I
generally bag it with my customers cars or if it's a new type of car
I'll go get my hands I want to make a video on if it's new technology I want
to talk about walk the talk says thanks got diesel petrol Oh
petroleum got myself here in the States we call it gasoline diesel cars all
stink to some extent they pollute more incomplete combustion if you've ever run
in New Mexico City you know what it stinks like when everybody's driving
diesels if everybody was driving Diesel's here in Houston it would stink
a lot worse than what it does with all the laws of pollution I doubt the diesel
cars are gonna be around all that much longer you're up saying they're gonna
ban them after a certain period of time and if they do Electrify stuff things
will go to electricity I was just reading a big thing they're trying to
push electric big 18 wheels they're all diesels now but they're trying to push
electric ones and if they can build them strong it on they have enough range and
make these chargers I saw one that had something like a 3 million watt charger
that they could charge them up fast enough I think that they would just give
up with diesel 18 wheelers and go to electric ones, gasoline is probably
the way to go at least in the short term cuz in a long term maybe it's all gonna
go elec but I mean for regular driving cars it's probably not gonna happen for
decades and decades too much infrastructures needed the big diesel
trucks that could set up their own stations for super charging them and
know where they are and charge them and know I can go 400 miles before I need a
charge and then set it up ahead of time but for regular drivers that electricity
is not going to be for a long time, so if you never want to miss another one
