Still on the road 250k miles or so... 2015 Note, 75k and barely limping along. A class action suit and an extended warranty isn't doing much good.

I bought my 94 Opel Astra F for 500 euros (roughly 500 dollars) and have been driving it for 4 years without any serious problems. I've had to fix a few (non-)issues with the suspension (in order to pass the mandatory vehicle inspection) a year ago but other than that I've7 had to not do anything to it except oil changes and some rust repair. It has almost 300 000 kilometers on it and I've driven almost 70 000 km of it. Best purchase I've ever made. I propably keep it as long as it breaks completely and buy a new 500 euro rust bin. The timing belt will propably snap soon but I don't bother changing it. When it snaps I propably try to fix the timing myself. If it's too much work I will just tow it to a junk yard.

Dear Scotty, I needed a plow truck so I took your advise on what trucks not to buy and bought a 1988 Ford Bronco with the 5.0 V8 and it already had a western plow on it that worked great. It isn't an F150, but close enough. It needed the ignition actuator replaced (what a pain) and it needs rear brakes. The truck only has 125K miles on it and it runs strong and shifts great. It does have a couple rot holes in the floor, but the body is nice and has original paint. I plan on cutting out the rot and patching the floors. Everyone overlooked this truck on craigslist because it was way too old and in Massachusetts where rust is king, but I may use it for a third vehicle as well as just a plow rig as it is in amazing shape for something this old. I probably wouldn't have looked at this truck if it wasn't for your video on what the best used trucks to buy are. Even if it never sees the road it will make a strong running plow truck for my property and it's fun to mess around with.

Good info Scotty beam me up

I bought a 98 Corolla 3.5 years ago. Had 139k on it. Has 167k now and still going strong

Scotty I did the V6 timing belt on my Sienna and it was a bear but you don't need the cam locks. You do have to rotate everything a few times once you get it on though to make sure everything is aligned correctly. Sure it would have made the job easier but to be honest until you showed this I didn't even know they existed.

Bought an '83 Dodge B250 van about 5 years ago for $1000. I thought it was a little much for a 30 year old vehicle with 100,000 miles on the clock, but needed a vehicle right away, and, and, on the plus side, it was a creepy full size van. I did have to put a new water pump and fuel pump on, but also put more than 100,000 additional miles on it. Sold it last year for $1,500.

My Japanese friend had a Cadillac. But he found a good eye doctor to get rid of it.

A 1997 Ford ranger 4.0 v6, needed nothing but a brake line runs perfect... 280 dollars 4x4 good condition!

Bought my 1989 Mazda b2200 17 years ago for $25. Still going strong. Mowed a guys yard last year for a 63 Ford f100, love it. Bought a 95 Mazda 626 in January of this year, put a $16 output shaft seal in transmission (30 minutes) and headed out for California the next day. The cheap ones are the best. That $25 b2200 has been nothing but a workhorse and keeps on

Scotty you are the best.

Never get furious about a timing belt again! Just rotate the crank by hand once, if it isn't perfectly TDS and lined up... take the belt off, line it up again!

I got a dodge neon with 90k miles, 2005 for 1k mr. Kilmer, no leaks, AC works wonders, transmission is running great, 1 owner, and it belonged to a friend’s mother, a senior citizen, hell I even got the owners manual. I don’t really want to get in debt paying for a car, don’t get me wrong I’d love a WRX manual transmission, but I got some other plans for the moment, the subbie can wait. Thank you for your videos, good health to you!

my 1st car in 2006 was a '92 Subaru Legacy. It was $800. Couldn't tell how many miles since odometer was broken. Automatic Seatbelts, AWD, the transmission started skipping gears so that had to be replaced, but overall it was a good car that got me through HS.

Ireland , the only thing with older cars over here is higher tax on them .So people generally get rid of cars over ten years old . because after the ten years is up the tax does too ._ And insurance can be steep too even with a newly tested cars . .

It's not about being poor or working class anybody can get a finance deal really but you might as well jump into shark infested waters imo dragging that onto yourself .

Got my 91 Ford Tempo for free. It sat for 4 years, some simple maintenance, new battery, fresh fuel, new tires, and a CV axle and its been running fine for the past year, just did its 1st tune-up, yes 1st tune-up in 28 years this afternoon. For a 28 year old car it runs and drives great, gets mid 20's for fuel economy in town and mid 30's for fuel economy on the highway...and that's without an electronically controlled transmission and no overdrive, yes a 3 speed automatic, and a 2.3L 4 cylinder engine...even many of today's cars have a hard time getting any decent fuel economy with twice as many gears, and full of electronics to supposedly help with economy. So yes you can find pretty decent cheap cars if you look hard enough and not afraid to do a little routine maintenance which is what many older vehicles are lacking....granted the paint on my car isn't that great, it has never been wrecked, a few very small scratches and dents here and there but for a 28 year old car its in pretty good shape, if the typical 80's paint/clear coat problems don't sway you away. It runs and drives great, I could care less that the clear coat is gone....its just basically a flat red color without the clear coat LOL.

@@waltbullet1287 With a NEW car you'll USUALLY have little difficulty enforcing a warranty...esp. if the repair is a minor one. You've paid a LOT for that guarantee. With "certified used", there is always a warranty and it's usually enforceable. I'd rather save all that money, buy a really good used from the original owner with service records and for a model that has a great proven record of reliability and good PPI from my own mechanic. Been doing that all my life (so far) and have never gotten burned. But people do what they want to do.
