I’ve owned Chrysler’s in the past and they all broke down quicker than my Japanese cars, that’s why I hold a certain grudge against Chrysler’s.

I added up all the costs on cars I have bought since 1974 (45 years) and it's about $10,000. I suppose I have spent more than that in repairs, most of which I have done myself. The thing I drive now, I have had for 18 years. Bought it when it had 264,000 miles on it. Moral of the story is this: If you don't care too much about what things look like, and you want to get the most for your money, I suggest you learn how to work on what you drive and stick with it, unless there is some known problems with what you have that you want to avoid. Just thinking about it, suppose I spent $20,000 in repairs and $10,000 in cars over 45 years? That is still less than $1,000 a year, a lot less. Pretty good deal, seems to me. If you keep what you have in good mechanical condition, it should go smoothly down the road and nothing should be clunking. It should steer tight and brake nice. What's not to like? If it drives nice, why not keep it? An older one can still be a pleasure to drive, even if it looks bad on the outside. It's all about maintenance.

Bought my 2003 Ford Taurus SES in 2003 with a couple thousand miles, today I have 757,000 miles with original engine and transmission that has not been rebuilt. Today car would not start, it had started and drove great, but after parking, turned ignition key and nothing happened, dash board lights came on but no crank. Watched video from Scott on which he said " if you turn the key to the run position and the engine light comes on, then your getting power to the PCM, i turned the key to run, but the engine light did not illuminate, so because I watched Scotty's video I knew no power was the problem, checked PCM fuse and it had blown, changed with the fan fuse and it cranked right up. Then I put another hundred plus miles on my car, on my way to a million.

I’m not even a big car guy but your KZread channel is so entertaining and helpful. I feel everybody should watch your videos to understand how cars work and how to buy one that suits their needs. I just want reliability that’s the most important with me and a lot of your videos explain which cars are and aren’t. It’s very informative and entertaining I just gotta say a huge thank you your the only KZreadr I’ve been binge watching the past 2 weeks.

I've got a 99 Acura CL 3.0 and it's been great! Only a couple of minor issues which were easy to repair. The mileage is pretty poor (maybe 16-17 mpg) & the transmissions were ticking time bombs (from what I hear) so I swap out the fluid every other oil change. All in all a great car with enough power to get me through Chicago traffic!

I love my 98 Accord Coupe. The V6 is fantastic and it's been a pleasure to drive to this day. Changed the fluids, suspension components, and timing belt occasionally and it drives nearly like new with 250K miles on the original transmission.

Have you Tried camshaft sensor? My was giving hard time and then I changed it and it got fine.

Good advice as usual. I drive a 1994 rat Acura Integra with 220,000 miles. I've been consistent with the maintenance (synthetic yearly oil change driving low short trip miles, OEM Honda trans fluid) and it's been reliable. I drive it conservatively. I changed the suspension and ball joints about three years ago after they wore out by having a cheap local mechanic do it who works out of his garage but is Lexus ASE master certified. Needs a new AC compressor that I have been reluctant to install due to age and desire to change cars. Plan on upgrading to a Lexus IS in the future. I repainted it last year with Duplicolor spray can paint in a garage close to the original color (a red color). That seemed like a no brainer but I'm glad to hear it was a good decision. Engine oil seals leak a little but is managed well with the High Mileage oil additives (usually wears off at the end of the oil lifespan and starts leaking more which I live with and watch. She is due for a timing belt change in the spring and that's probably the last major service I plan to do.

Low mileage 150k for 90s car.

Scotty, your knowledge is invaluable. Thank you.

I have a 2005 Acura TL with about 150,000 miles. We had to replaced the transmission one time recently. Car still works like a dream :)

Maybe it costs more than whole car, but still this old acura could outlast new cars

I came here to see how many times 94 Toyota Celica gets mentioned

Love the spray-painted wheels. I did that to the Alley wheels on my old Sentra and they did not look too bad at all.

Very informative vid! Thanks for the info 👍👍

Timing belt and water pump still cheaper than a new car.....

It's about dumping money into an extremely old vehicle. I know I wouldn't want to pay money replacing a timing belt and water pump on that thing if I originally owned it for that long.. who knows what'll break next

Scotty, I followed your advice and bought an older high mileage car, 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5. 187,000 miles, one owner. Motor & transmission are solid

Scotty man thank you for your all your educational videos frok just watching your videos i managed to bring my dead car back to life brand new and saved heaps of money

Great car, brings a tear to my eye to see it that way.

I had one of these with the 3.0 engine. Was a great car. Put a little over 100k miles on it in 3 years. Transmission sadly died at 180k miles. Apparently the trans in these cars was a weak point. Very solid otherwise

Excellent observation about the fans/overheating - I would not have thought of that.. But I have replaced both fans on cars and apparently the overheating problem didn't show up until the second fan failed.

51 years experience I can watch these vids all day

My brother has that same Acura, odo stopped spinning around 240k and that was 4 years ago lol

pochoun33137 Interior is pretty much mint besides wear on the drivers seat and arm rest. The exterior has a lot of road rash. No mechanical issues, just a check engine light for the shifter lever, it just makes it really hard to change gears. We got the car for $1300, 5 years ago. Runs great.

Few days ago, I saw a Honda HR-V ( don't know the year) with a 6 speed manual transmission...blew my mind, jaw-dropped... Hope the trend continues...

6:07 made my day, thanks Scotty

I had a 98 Acura CL 3.0 (90k miles in 2012) given to me by a family member. The engine on that thing was awesome. The transmission was horrible.... I had the original transmission rebuilt and it lasted about a year before getting it replaced with a used transmission... The second transmission lasted almost 2 years. They both had the same issues. I read on a forum for Acura vehicles that there was some kind of bad design with the transmission on the Acura CL 3.0 and other Honda Accords of that era and finally got rid of the damn thing. It was such a smooth ride and man did it have power & great on gas. Wish it was the 4 cyl with a manual, those are bullet proof; would have kept it to this day if it was.

My 1991 Acura integra still runs strong with 186,000 plus miles. This why I bought a 2014 honda accord I'm always gonna be a Honda guy.

My first car was a 1995 lexus es300 V6 3.2L, 200k miles, powered everything, leather seats, sunroof. Bought for $2600, one year after sold for $3100

@henree simp And that's the main point. Dependability. When it gets you where you want to go that's peace of mind. I don't mind spending a few dollars to keep it updated because you know it will continue to run. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than car payments on a new car. And the insurance is dirt cheap

I'd agree. However, for someone with only enough cash for the car, and nothing else, consider.... with used Hondas under 100k miles or just around 100k, it's highly likely timing belt wasn't done. Used Hondas 150k miles and over, there's a good chance timing belt was done. Of course, there are exceptions. But just from a statistical and probability standpoint 😉
