rev up your engines eddie says Scotts if you had to choose
between the 2011 Nissan Altima or 2016 Chevy Cruze
which would have to choose well you said I have to well I'd go for the Altima hands
down I'm not a Nissan fan but the Chevy Cruze
is one of the junkies vehicles ever made if you were looking at the ultimate look
you would have to road-test it and very carefully check out the transmission
shifts because they have weak transmissions and I would advise you to
pay a mechanic to do a block leak check on the engine I've got a video how to
check your car for a blown head gasket you can even buy the kit yourself for 30
bucks on Amazon if you want and do it yourself but you want to check to see if
the head gaskets leaking because that's a notorious problem on those things and
if it didn't have a leaking head gasket and shift it okay yeah go ahead and buy it
never buy chevy cruze those things are just rolling piles of junk I got a
customer when he's on his fourth automatic transmission that's how poorly
made they are and it's an old gut that doesn't even drive all that fast
mad man says why are dealerships so greedy they want 10 granted up for 10
year old cars capitalism and market force if it's popular car like say
a lexus they're gonna get as much as I can possibly get for those things
they're gonna say hey you're getting a lexus for $10,000 a brand new one cost
fifty to eighty thousand the dealership has always been that way I mean years
ago I got a deal on my Celica three hundred fifty bucks for my customers one
and I bought it and fixed it up then my son what it was I looked around and for
the one I paid 350 for at the dealer use they wanted like eight nine thousand
dollars I'm like they're ridiculous that kind of money for a car that's you know
fifteen years old and has one hundred ninety thousand miles but they get it because
they're popular and people like them but of course they
have a tremendous overhead at the dealer they gotta pay for their overhead so
before they even make a profit they got it make a bunch of money just to break
even and that's why they charge so much money and that's why I tell people don't
go there and buy used cars cuz you're gonna pay too much for them, a car that
comes when it's called like a dog Tesla's working on it that they're gonna
have a car that say it's parked down the street and you can summon it and it will drive
itself to you boy I can see the liabilities involve that when it's
coming out of a parking lot and it hits somebody it just amazes
insane technology that people are coming out with that they think is gonna work
in the actual world if you're able to summon that car you know the computer
hackers in the world they're gonna figure when to summon a car, they'll
summon a car and then they'll steal it but you know their always living pie
in the sky I mean this is the guy who put his own personal Tesla sports car
into outer space with a dummy set so anything that they come up with
wouldn't shock me but so you can just whistle and it'll hear what's gonna come
and pick you up ts Maggio says I got an 08 Honda
Pilot my car loses acceleration when I give it more gas going uphill it's
dangerous start with a simple thing change the fuel filter if your fuel
filter is clogged and you can't get enough volume of fuel to make it go fast
when it has to accelerate up hills anywhere fast enough they can't get
enough fuel I see that fix lots of cars and it's what 12 year old could be it's
clogged up now if it's not clogged up you got to change it anyways to do the test
change the filter that doesn't fix it have the fuel pump pressure tested and
now when you have a fuel pump pressure tested for that problem you got to do a
dual test you have to do a fuel pump pressure test to see if it's putting
enough pressure but you also have to do a fuel pump volume cuz it might
have enough pressure but not enough volume and if the volume is low it'll do
exactly what you're doing it's on the story it's a fuel problem when they do
that going uphill or not being able to go really fast you just don't get enough
fuel but of course don't forget the most obvious thing on the planet check the
air filter I had a customer with one like that and the first thing I do is I look at
the spark plugs and I popped the air filter it's
just black all filled with crud I'm amazed it ran at all it's just your
clogged air filter check that first, max 2002 says I got an 02 honda civic
hundred and eighty thousand miles it shifts been driving slow in second gear
the car goes into overdrive and shifts into third gear speedometer will be
at 0 and jump to 20 miles an hour 18 years old
180,000 miles I'll tell your transmissions just going out you want to
do a gamble pray it's just a speed sensor they don't cost much by the speed
sensor put it on prior it fixes it once in a while that will fix it if it
doesn't fix it means the transmission is going out
internally you never know try the sensor they don't cost much they just bolt on
it off and don't buy some cheap you aftermarket one made in China and get an
OEM original equipment one specific to that vehicle you got to get the right
one that works correctly and if you bolt it on and fix this is great if not
you're gonna need a transmission rebuild in 2002 Civic with 180,000 miles it's
more than the cars worth really ,search for first car says Scotty I'm wondering what
is the Toyota Corolla of motorcycles a Honda 750 when else things came out in a
60s bulletproof could run forever and just go and go and go and there's plenty
fast enough with that four-cylinder engine they've got so much power that if
you're gonna drive them under 100 miles an hour
they're gonna run forever if you don't smash them up run into something they
were I've seen those things that had 140,000 miles on when they were still
running strong so I'd say a 750 Honda I don't think you can just basically run
forever you can go buy an old one and it'll still be run another then it will
have four carburetors you're gonna have to mess with them and clean them because
it'll be so old they'll be clogged up but those things are were dependable
and still are dependable, so if you never want to miss another one
