turns out that Toyota and Lexus are recalling cars to replace engines the
quality everything seems to be going downhill these guys over 44,000 from
2019 2020 are being recalled because their engines may have problems Camry
Camry Hybrid Gavilan hybrid Lexus ES Toyota rav4 rav4 hybrid SUVs are being
recalled because they could have an engine problem this is a serious problem
they had a manufacturing error they said where the engine block leaking coolant or
leading to a fire could stall could have engine smoke lots of things can happen
toyota claims that 250 out of the 44,000 191 recalled will need their engine
replaced the dealers have to check the serial number on the engine blocks this
sounds strange if they say 250 of them are the only ones that gonna have
problems why are they recalling 44,000 191 they should certainly know if they
know that there's only 250 of them that are affected by this problem they should
know which VIN numbers their recall just those ones with those VIN numbers the
actual thing that the recalling 44,000 of them instead sounds a little bit
fishy to me supposedly a water flow meter and the
factory failed when some engines were being cast these blocks didn't cool
right and they can have cracks inside the fact
that you're recalling 40-something thousand of them and they claim only 250
or more affected sounds like a lot of baloney today it really does they should
know if they say ok from this time to that time 250 vehicles were affected
they should know which VIN numbers recall those point that they have to
recall 40,000 of them for what they say is only 250 sounds like there might be
more problems down the line than just those 250 cars this bids what I've been
telling people for years and I don't care what anybody says I want a Japanese
car by when it's made in Japan they do a better job there period I don't care
that's just from what I've seen of fixing cars for 52 years you win a
German car buy one made in Germany they're actually making the engines in
Tennessee and as you can see they screwed up I don't know
yes but the Japanese seem to have a lot better quality control in Japan that's
why I say you want to buy Japanese car get one made in Japan it does make a
difference where these things are built now the recall is supposed to take
effect April 6 2020 but as I always say you want to watch me about these things
to warn you about the future cuz if you got one of those cars now that were you
I take it and I'd say is my car one of those inspected now don't wait when you
find this information for me put it to use right away these big corporations
they got time lights to set and everything else me as soon as I found
out information I'm gonna tell it to you miss Wiggly says what's the best place
to buy a used car private party or how are the auctions you're always better
buying a car from a private party because you're paying cash cash is king
you pay less if you're buying a car from a private party you got to pay them the
whole thing now they might be kind of annoying and say we'll look at the dealer
they sold those cars for fifteen thousand so I want fifteen thousand then
you just say at the dealer I pay them you know 150 a month you're gonna take
150 a month well no I want the whole price well then you pay less that's the
best thing to do car auctions stay away from car auctions people sell cars at
car auctions generally because there's a problem either in a title the car's been
wrecked flooded stolen there's a problem they sell them cuz they sell fast but
they don't get much money car auctions are for professionals I know
professionals go to car auctions all the time but they're professionals and they
have a contract with the auctions and it goes kind of like this they might go
with say $10,000 and they might buy five six cars for that they get a guarantee
with that because they buy a lot of them and it's pretty much says that if the
car each car they bought has too many problems cost too much to fix that they
can return it to the auction they don't get their money back but they get credit
for whatever they pay so if they pay 2 grand for that car they get 2 grand
credit for buying another one now these guys are buying four or five cars at a
time and they sell them for two to three times of what they paid at the auction
they're making money but even there they're not gonna get burned with an
absolute lemon cuz if it is they send it back and they get their credit and on it
goes and then I suppose the auction tries to sell it to another fool that
will buy that car and it'll be a private individual who doesn't have the
same deal they're stuck with the crappy car so stay away from
options unless you're a pro BW 05 says I can't seem to find a good used
car from a private seller in my area I need to find a car relatively quickly in
the next week less plus I want to shop his used car lot but I'm considering all
seven Camry with 60,000 miles for $6,500 to clean carfax seems a good shape if a
mechanic clears this it's just a complete ripoff 60,000 miles it's a
little mileage but it's a thirteen year old car it's your choice on the money
it's a good car and you like it yeah go ahead and buy it but that's way too much
money for a thirteen year old car it's got low mileage so if you really have to
that's an awful lot of money for a car that's that like I say if they check
it out okay they're good cars and if that's day one they have to prove its
the real mileage make sure cuz hey so 13 year old car 60,000 miles kind of
unbelievable unless an old person owned it make sure there's proof that that's
the actual mileage that's the two dice says I literally bought an Audi s4 2012
with a hundred thousand miles within three hours of me owning I took it a
start it wouldn't start but it acted like it was starting I put a neutral
started it started and I drove to my friends and it wouldn't start a new
trailer park maybe it could be a neutral control switch help okay let's pray it's
a neutral control switch rarely it is on one of those things they're very complex
endless money pits I feel sad for you that you bought a used one with a
hundred thousand miles on it you're gonna find even if it is just that
switch go ahead and try it you know I have a mechanic put it on there maybe
you'll get lucky and that'll fix it those things are endless money pits an
effect that you own that car for three hours and it broke and wouldn't start
already that's just an omen of future money pit them believe me if there's any
and I mean anyway you can sell that thing for anything close to where you
paid for it get rid of it now the three hour breakdown is warning you heed the
warning don't put a bunch of money into one of those junky Audi's they're just
money pits when they get over a hundred thousand miles on Cruiser says hey
Scotty what do you think a little Honda cr-z hybrid two-seaters I'm finding them
cheap used they look sporty thanks Scotty always says do not buy a used
hybrid they're expensive too that's when they age consequently the
resale values go down the toilet I think customers all the time go out and buy
used Toyota Priuses which is the top of the line hybrids for $1,500 a gamble
with $59 is what they're doing if you can find one of those cheap enough and
let's say it's got less than a hundred thousand miles on it you don't mind
gambling did you they go a lot further than that but once they get to be over
ten years old hundred hundred more thousand miles on them they start to
become money pets expensive batteries generators hardly anybody knows how to
work on the thanks the guys that do are gonna really because they know I really
anybody knows how to work on these things I had to pay for all these tools
to work on them and I got to charge customers a lot to pay for all my
investments so I mean if you can get one really cheap you know wanna gamble with
it as a toy great but don't pay much money for a used one because once over
honors something thousand miles or over ten years old they become endless money
pits because of that hybrid technology that's complex hard to fix and hardly
anybody knows how to repair our sir Scotty tell me about the mg they
start selling in the Philippines with a new brand sir
I don't know much about them okay well yeah mg was originally a english company
then they got bought by the Chinese they made little sports cars that started out
they were Chinese cars had nothing to do with the original mgs they made them
better and they weren't bad sports cars but they couldn't stall enough so they
stopped making the sports cars now the only thing that they make her SUVs and
from what I read I've never personally seen one they aren't sold in the United
States they saw him in other parts of the world they seem to be decent
vehicles their lower price than the other cars that are out there and their
SUVs that are they seem to be decent cars
I mean geely has been making cars are quite sometime they
don't sell them to us yet one day they probably will they're decent cars now if
you're talking about any mg sports cars they never really made it and they
aren't making it anymore so if you're talking about buying a used one I stay
away from the used mg sports cars that remain China because they don't make
them anymore in there and probably not gonna support repairs and parts and
stuff for them but the SUVs they seem to be up-and-coming 300c says my only
Nissan Maxima is making a groaning so when I turn the steering wheel all the
way to the end I need help figuring out what it could be okay
at the very end it means that either your power-steering pump or your power
steering rack is going bad and here's the kicker of it all the racks are very
very expensive new ones cost the ton rebuilt one sometimes they work
sometimes I don't and the labor is a lot of money because you got to take old
front end of the car off to get all that crap out and put it back in I know I've
done them and I hate doing it it's a horrible dirty filthy job then
you have to have the front end realign there's extra money if you don't like
the noise first replace the power steering pump it really doesn't all the
way to the fire end doesn't do it to the rest of the time it steers okay you live
with it no big deal I've had cars like that for years but if it bothers you try
a new pump first and I mean new not rebuild the rebuilt pumps often stink
you want to buy a brand new one not a rebuilt one, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
