Rev up your engines, 11 says scotty what do you think about getting
a car from one of those car apps, I laugh my butt off on those, one of my customers
was going to buy a car from one of those things, it's the one where you can get a coin and
put the coin in the machine and then your car comes from the sky highrise, it's a bunch
of nonsense I called them up for them and said, my customer wants me to check the used
car out their buying from you, they said we don't allow that you can't check out the car,
I said what kind of nonsense is this, you got to have a used car checked out if you're
going to buy it, and don't give me this bs about oh there's a warranty for this or that,
yeah warranties you want to deal with warranties, I had customers deal with some of those and
they'll say, oh they have a money back warranty, and then you find out the money back warranty
is that you can give them that car back but you got to take another car in their lot,
they don't give you the cash back, there's all kinds of legal bs on that stuff, if you
can't have your trusted mechanic check out a used car, do not buy it from whoever is
selling it, I don't care if it's a person or dealership do not buy it then, cuz it's
too chancy, owen racing says scotty what do you think
about electric cars, well it's very interesting technology, and of course there's tons less
moving parts, their interesting technology I'll give them that, the problem is, the range
is limited, there's a limited amount of, most of them are lithium ion, of lithium on the
planet, I don't know if there's enough to make enough batteries for enough people, and
the infrastructure for electricity especially in the US is already over stressed, here in
Houston in the summer sometimes we get brownouts because everyone is using their ac to cool
their houses down, and if you added 3.5 million people plugging in their cars in at night
and charging them up, it would be a royal mess, so I don't see them as being mainstream
for a really really long time, just because of the infrastructure and the jobs that are
with regular cars, I really don't see that happening anytime in the near future, now
they could be a niche thing for a while sure, a long time I think the gasoline stuff is
still going to be around for a long time, price says scotty what do you think of the
jeep liberty 2008, I'm not a fan that's when they started making them cheaper and cheaper,
when they started making the libertys they started to try and make them for a bigger
mass, cheaper so they could sell more cuz they cost a bit less, but they made them so
much cheaper, and they were such a downgrade from the previous jeeps that were pretty good
off road solid vehicles I'm not a jeep liberty fan, now if you're the type of person that's
going to buy it and it's just a showboat and you're only going to stay in town and your
not going to drive it like a maniac and do burnouts, you might say ok it's a decent vehicle
for you but it's nothing like the older jeeps where it's not an off road vehicle, you can't
beat the heck out of it and expect it to last forever,
louis says scotty somebody is selling me a 2003 eclipse for $1,000 with 175,000 miles,
I checked it out and it runs great, should I go for it, I actually liked it, mitsubishis
aren't made as good as toyotas or hondas, there's no arguing that, their automatic transmission
are really weak, but if that's a manual transmission, your paying $1,000, that thing still today
runs good and shifts good, what the heck, I have had customers buy those things, and
sometimes they would get 2 or 3 years of good service out of it and not have to put much
money into it, it's fine your only gambling $1,000 and if it runs good now and shifts
good, go ahead if you like the car it's not that much money you know, especially if it's
a manual you might have fun with it, there's nothing wrong with buy a car like that for
that price and that price range, but you do want to road test it first, make sure you
road test it, fernando says I have a dodge durango 2004,
it never had a repair, it's got 230,000 miles on it, have driven it from Seattle to TJ,
what should I do to make sure it keeps going, well one I don't believe you, cuz I don't
believe that a 15 year old Dodge never has had a repair, that's crazy you know, at least
brake pads or water pump, something has gone wrong on it, I don't believe you, if it hasn't
had any major breakdowns like engine and transmission then your a lucky man so my advice is take
a trip to Las Vegas and gamble, cuz if your that lucky you might make millions doing that,
but if you want to keep that thing going, keep doing whatever you've been doing, change
the oil like you've been changing it, change the transmission fluid like you've been changing
it, change the coolant like you've been changing it, take car of it cuz you've obviously been
taking care of the vehicle, but I don't believe you that you haven't had any repairs at all
with that mileage, I have never seen that and I've worked on hundreds of those things,
Julius says, scotty I have rust on my 90 accord, I wanted to use the best product out there,
do you have any ideas what could slow down that rust I would appreciate it, ok what you
really want to do to stop rust is, you want to sand it down to the bare metal, prime it
and paint it, there are rust preventative paints out there, they are excellent stuff,
there's a million companies that make them, rustoleum makes them, there's a German company
that I showed a couple weeks ago that makes them, and most of them are pretty good products,
but you have to get rid of the rust first, then you use that, usually a primer based
paint, the you paint over it, that's what I'd do, it does work quite well, some people
that have ones that are kind of clunky up North and their all covered in rust, I know
them in the winter they just get those giant wd40 can that they have huge ones, and they
just spray the undercarriage of the vehicle with it 3-4 times in the winter, and it's
oily stuff and it keeps rust away, it actually works ok if you don't mind making a giant
oily mess, most people do it somewhere else and not in their own house, cuz they got to
clean up the mess when their done, so if you never want to miss another one of
my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell!
