rev up your engines, Zingo says Scotty please please help me, I'm
thinking about mercedes-benz 2006 r 500 70k looks clean and nice any thoughts
please, yes don't buy that thing they are endless money pits, unless you have more
money than you know what to do with and you like spending money on repairs and
becoming friends with the local German mechanic, do not buy that car they are
cheaper to buy used because they are endless money pits as they age, they are
super expensive vehicles to maintain, their resale value is garbage, their parts
cost a ton in the United States, you do not want to buy those 500s, I
mean they are just endless money pits as they age, I got a customer
and though I got my Mercedes lalala and she only paid like
fifteen thousand dollars for it and the original person paid 100 something grand
for the vehicle right, after the first six she spent with me she gave up with
the car and went back to the Lexus, I told her to buy a Lexus and she liked it
then she got rid of it and I said, so why did you
get rid of the Lexus and she said oh it's not fancy
enough, oh I want to be I wouldn't drive around in a Mercedes, cuz she's a single
woman she's looking for a rich guy I guess, but now she's back in the Lexus
steam x says scotty what do you think about the Chevy Cruze, well I think it's
one of the worst vehicles GM ever made, I got a customer with one he's got picture
of Mickey Mouse in the back window and I said why do you have a picture of Mickey
Mouse in the back of your cruze, he said because it's a Mickey Mouse car
he sued GM under the lemon law and since they've gutted the lemon law, they
admitted that it was a lemon but all he got was like $2,500 back and he's had
two automatic transmissions replaced already, and now it's out of warranty and
he asked me a couple months ago, well Scotty what's going, I said yeah the
trannys going out again, I said if it goes out again now you're not gonna get
a free one, he says yeah I'm just gonna drive until doesn't he move anymore and
then take it to the junkyard and never buy another one, so that's what I think of
Chevy Cruzes, I would not buy one of those things, you want to buy a cheaper
car get a cheaper Toyota or cheaper Honda don't buy one of those things
crazy outlaw love that name, what do you think of PT Cruisers, well I'll tell you
I got one in the driveway right now that I'm working on, I am NOT a fan of PT
Cruisers, their quality is garbage, they have overheating problems all the
time, they blow head gaskets, they're rattly
now on the positive side their like cool-looking retro gangster
cars right, interesting looking but man those things don't hold up if, you
want to get a used one cheap like my customer did it's only got fifty five
thousand miles on it, even though the thing is you know seventeen years old,
it's kind of a cute little thing to drive around for a knock around car, but don't
pay much money for one cuz they're not worth much, d-bag says can you talk me
out of a Jeep Wrangler, it's easy enough to do, do you value your money, the
late model ones I've had customers buy new ones and they were garbage from the
get-go, they had transmission problems, they didn't shift right, now if you really want
a Jeep Wrangler if you go get a really old
one that's two three decades old, hey those things were solid tanks and they
can last a really long time, I mean there's absolutely nothing wrong with
that, but you wouldn't want to buy a brand-new one, you could buy an old one
they'd either had no mileage or had been done over and there's nothing wrong with
that you know I got customers driving around in sixties and seventies jeeps
and they're bulletproof, but do not buy a new one, SG says hey
Scotty what would cause the front tires to hit the fender liners when turning
the wheel all the way to one side, I got a 17 maximum alignment's been it done twice
make sure that you got stock tires, you got stock rims, somebody put bigger
rims bigger tires it's gonna hit stuff, everything is made like garbage these
days, and inside your fender you got all these plastic fender liners, a lot of
times those things are just held in with stupid little plastic clips, a lot of
times the clips get loose, the fender liner start rubbing on stuff, and then
when you turn yeah they're gonna rub, I see that all the time make sure that all
the little clips are in, I even have a video about those clips, if you ever do
work on your own car, go to Amazon or Ebay or anyplace and you can buy a whole
box of clips for your car for like 7.95 and they'll be hundreds of them, it'll be
a lifetime supply and you don't have to worry about it when the clips break you
just throw them what's left away and then put a brand new one in, they don't
cost hardly anything if you buy them in bulk, don't buy them at the auto parts store
where there's a package of four for eight dollars, for eight dollars
you get hundreds of them if you go online, bran man says Scotty should I
flush out my 2007 dodge caliber CVT fluid or just change it, it has
153,000 miles, there's no issue, just change it and use the same fluid use the
original fluid, when vehicles get more mileage on them, you really don't want to
take a chance by flushing, I seen people flush
out cars and then they had no problems and then they started to slip, now the
only time I ever advise flushing vehicles, you got a junker it hardly
moves and shifts like horrendously bad and you know it's not really drivable,
try a flush you never know maybe it can flush crud out, you got a car that has
no problems when you flush it will push little particles into tiny holes and jam them up
and it doesn't work at all or slips like made, so I'm here to help everybody, no
sponsors you don't see any banners advertising this or that, I'm just
telling you the truth, I hate getting ripped off, I know other people do too so
I'm here to help everyone, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
