rev up your engines Michael Lankford says my dad had a 2004 yaris
that went 100,000 miles without a single oil change and it ran like clockwork okay I'm
assuming your father drove on highway line because highway mileage is
equivalent to about 10% a city mileage so if you go up a hundred thousand miles
on a highway that's equivalent to ten thousand miles
in the city so it could still run perfectly fine but there's no way he
drove that thing and stop and go traffic for a hundred thousand miles cuz I had a
customer who did just that and when he got about eighty thousand miles on it
the engine started to go out and I checked and said your piston rings are all
worn out how're you change the oil the guy said I've never changed i said well
you learned yourself a lesson at least you did it with a cheap car car so
Scotty Corolla 2000 what do you think for five hundred and eighty bucks if it runs
and shifts and goes down the road buy it that's a deal cuz that cheap odds are
maybe there's something wrong I mean if it's got dings and bashes and
let's say it went through a hailstorm where they got big dances it sure then
it's gonna be worth anything but you don't want a mechanic to look at at
least cuz that is so cheap I'd wonder if there's something serious wrong but if
it runs and shifts what the heck driving around for that small amount of money
and Colt 54 so Scotty would you buy a used car off eBay well I wouldn't
because I want to get my hands on and check it out before I buy it no I have
had customers do it some got looking got good cars some guy absolute piles of junk
and some kind of got ripped off because the car
was claimed to be more than it actually was I had a customer buy a classic car
and a bank and they claimed it was original equipment they got it and they
saw a bunch of parts on it there weren't original equipment eBay it's pretty good
though about standing behind what the people say what the seller said and the
guy went to ebay and he said hey this guy said this was an original equipment
car had no problems yada yada and he got his money back from him he said no it
isn't he showed the proof and a guy had to take the car back and give him his
money back so as long as you got some kind of a guarantee going with eBay for
that kind of stuff you might try it but personally I don't buy cars and I can't
get my hands on first and check them out because I don't trust anybody in
people's give all kinds of BS when they're selling cars,
braxton Graham says Scotty I'm looking to buy a Nissan any suggestions yeah look elsewhere
the last decent Nissan that I've ever seen my customers have was like a 99
Nissan and the Sentra's Altimas even the stanzas back then were reasonably
solid built cars I see customers get 200,000 miles more on them with original
engines and transmissions not any of the new stuff the new stuffs garbage
I mean it's absolute garbage you know if you really got to get one get a new one
that you like it just leaves it for a few years and get it out of your system
don't buy it, Alex Roscoe says Scotty what's your
opinion on old Volvo's like the 240 Volvo's were killer vehicles I
had constant with them four or five six hundred thousand miles on it they were
killers but they were the last killer vehicles that they made now the plastic
wrap inside would be breaking out the door handle in the day I said everything
the plastic was made cheapest could be but they had solid engines they could
last a long time they're nothing like the later model wasn't of course now the
Chinese make models the only thing they say they're gonna make in the future is
electric cars and hybrid electric cars be 34 says Scotty showed a
water pump fail after 23,000 miles after being replaced
water pump of my 96 Corolla seized up no it shouldn't and if it were 23,000 miles
later one of two things want that if you didn't flush the system out the
corrosion is gonna corrode it and it'll break again but generally what I see on
that is people buy cheap water pumps they buy ones made in Taiwan or by poor
Chinese manufacturers and they just don't last as long or an idiot put it on
and made the belt so tight that it burnt the bearing out you got to make sure
that the belts are the right tightness of the too tight yes they will burn them
out after a period of time but they should last a lot longer I mean I
changed the water pump in my Celica which has got a Camry engine and it
lasted 200 sometimes miles for it went out so, beat says my car has
a leaking head gasket but the sealer seems to be working but it still runs hot in
city driving only when you're in city driving you don't have as much wind
you're on highway you got 60 mile an hour wind so as long as it doesn't
overheat the ceilings working drive it that way you might try this though a lot
of times I see that fixes the problem you can get aftermarket radiators cheap
enough a lot of times I can get them for $89 replace the radiator and put
coolant with a little sealer and see what happens cuz an old radiator can't
dissipate heat that well when it's going slow so you might just get out of the
radio and throw it in if you got a car it's easy like in my Toyota I can change
the radiator in like 15 minutes it's a nothing job, Javier Cruz says Scotty are
you even from this world honest men don't live here oh yeah I was that Greek
philosopher said he spent his life looking for an honest man he never found
one but people tell me I was born here I don't remember any of that stuff you
know and hey I never take my sunglasses off you never know I might have
ultraviolet eyes under here who knows but yes it is hard to find honest people
these days that's the world sad truths everybody have to make a buck as fast as
they can or sell you something that they buy for 50 cents and then sold it for
$25 I mean sad but true that's the world these days, so if you never want to miss
