Bought a 1999 v6 ford mustang for 600 dollars couple of years back. Engine ran great and the previous owner put a dual exhaust and K&N air filter on it. The only problems it had were small scratches and dings on the right side of the car and the main reason it was so cheep was the alternator went out on it. Great reliable car and fun to drive when you can hear the exhaust pipes.

Got a 98 Toyota Tercel with 160,000 Miles for $500 and all the maintenance records, and it came from an honest back house mechanic. Best car I've bought for under $1500. Never give up hope kids.

I saw a $500 dollar car, drive for years, drive half way across country and then back. Just change the oil and wheels and an alternator change. Dude! some of these cars man. If you don't care about anything on it but the mechanics of it and how it runs. You can get a great deal. Just don't complain about the wear on the interior! LOL. That's actually easier to fix then the engine tho. I know someone who rebuilt a porsche 911 from junk and got junk seats with mold and dirt from the junkyard for 200 bucks, the whole set! A few hours with the extractor and checking the inside foam was ok, only the outside leather was a little "weathered in" , boom, brand new seats! unbelievable!! I've seen old 80's corolla brought back to life with lavish interiors, custom made! Just because the car is old isn't the end of it! Just care most about the mechanics, make sure they are sound or you're able to fix it and it will last a long time! Don't drive like you in the indy 500! with a 160HP car! lol.

Here's a suggestion for a $500.00 car: an old Pontiac Sunbird or Chevy Cavalier. They can run a long time, parts are common and dirt-cheap, and a bit of body or paint damage will get them into the under $1000 range. They don't have the cachet of Hondas or Toyotas and nobody expects to sell them for much.

In 1988 my mom bought a new base model 1989 Nissan Sentra. 5 speed stick. It ran well and finally gave out last year. I loved that it was all metal. Except the bumpers. It was a light but very solid car.

2:55 my experience with rock auto: I ordered a timing belt kit from them and one of the bolts for the pulleys did not fit. I went to their website to see if I could seek help, and there was nothing I could do online except arrange a return. So I started doing that and I had to answer a bunch of questions like “has this product been opened?” “Has this product been installed?” I finally got done with it and it said I could not return the product since it had been installed on my car. Well wtf how else was I supposed to find out if it fit or not! It wasn’t damaged at all. I went back to their website logged out and logged back in and tried to contact someone, there is absolutely no customer support on their website, or anywhere on the internet. So I said screw this company and I tried to return it again, it wouldn’t even let me go to the return screen because it said the part is already used and not returnable. If you value customer support and honesty over saving a buck or two go to a different website or auto parts store.

You will have major oil consumption down the road. The 98 - 02 Corolla engines are known for troublesome oil consumption due to worn piston ring springs and they also leak around the crankcase seal. I had a 2000 Corolla, owned it for 12 years. Everything was bullet proof on the car but it does have oil problems. Also, that Corolla you bought is very poorly weight balanced and it performs terribly in the snow. Buy the most expensive, best winter tires you can afford.

Warranty is what you use go to Nissan or that dealer. Its still inside warranty at 15k its their problem same with body rust thats 12 year warranty.

pay very close attention to the clunking noise frequency. ask yourself is it proportional to the front wheel speed or the rear wheel speer (go the same speed on the rear wheels but turn the wheel more and see if the frequency is the same or higher). if it goes up then its front wheel bearings. if it stays the same its rear wheel cv axles

At 3 years old and 15k it needed an alignment and is clunking??? That just goes to show how far their quality has dropped. Take it to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty. No car should have issues like that that soo.

hello!

you crack me up scotty .... the funny pics you use are great!

You're the man scotty!

Hey, I can finally buy a car.... Lol

Scotty! Can you give us a quick video about tire rotations. What are the benefits? And also, if you can or cannot tire rotate a staggered setup. I recently took my car to the dealership to get an oils change and full point inspection and I noticed they charged me extra for rotating a staggered setup. I was under the impression you can’t rotate staggered wheels. Or am I wrong?

You can side-to-side rotate staggered wheels if the tires have a symmetrical tread pattern. EDIT: Tire rotations ensure even wear of tires over time, but only when moving tires from one axle to the other, not something possible for staggered setups.

You can definitely rotate staggered wheels. Its a great idea to completely change wear patterns. When one side of the tire goes bald, put it on the other side of the car and you're good!

Scotty, I have an abused 1994 GMC tbi 350 that I bought running for cheap from a friend because it needed a radiator. I've fixed all the issues (mostly) and use it to go to the landfill or as a loaner and I can't complain. However, it does a weird thing where is runs rough while under low/no load but runs great going through town or on the highway. I think it's running rich because it smokes on startup and smells like gas. I've replaced sensors, rebuilt the injectors, rebuilt the fuel pressure regulator, replaced filters (fuel and air) and just can't seem to make it run perfect. It runsgood enough and it's only a spare but I hate being beaten. Also, if it's a throttle body, a throttle body cost more than I paid for the truck, that's all im saying.

Scotty you are the best I love you. I hope u live forever. They need more people like u in this world.

Who else wants to see Scotty build a 24 Hours of Lemons racer?

As someone in their 30s who never had a car and is always broke this is my dream. Well, a car and a quick death. Those are my two dreams.

Just bought a Nissan Maxima se 2002 with 103,000 miles and it was garage kept and one owner leather is perfect and every thing works 4 new tires on it to still has the factory 6 cd changer in the trunk and factory navigation. Been buying used cars for 20 years and this was one of the Best Buy’s IMO. Was asking 3000$ for it and I got it for 2500$

Now I drive a 2001 Honda Civic and it has never failed me, you treat your cars well, get maintenance done when it needs done and don’t beat on them they will return the favor I promise that no matter if it’s a Toyota or Honda or whatever my girlfriend got her Ford Escape to go to 215,000 miles before the transmission finally said enough engine was still in great shape, just treat your stuff well people

Rev up your $500 Buicks!!

Bought a 2000 Mirage DE coupe for Doordash and Uber eats for $500 6 months ago racked up 18k miles and only spent $500 to in brakes tie rods fluid changes and a set of tires and this little POS with the 5 speed is a blast to drive dead reliable good AC made my money back in 2 weeks of driving this thing

Hey Scotty I bought a 2002 BMW 325i with 240,000 miles for $400, it’s runs and drives great

I've bought plenty of parts from Rock Auto for my Mercury Mountaineer for like 8 years now. And all of the parts I have on it have been fine. You just have to look at what company produces them. I bought a power stop front brake kit like 3 years ago. And today, they still work like their suppose to. You just have to look at the info. The have different sections for the same part. They have Economy, standard, and premium.

I've bought many 500 dollar cars or less. Recently got an '86 Tercel wagon with 180,000 miles. Great car

For $500 don't expect much. My advise is try to work overtime and set your budget to $1500 to $2000 max. Toyota cars are really good cars and well made cars and are cheap to run too !

My first car was $25.00, of course, that was 60 years ago. I bought a '49 Ford when I was in Japan in 1961. I believe I paid $75.00 for it. It had four bald tires and three more bald tires on the rims in the trunk. I got a flat one time and the rubber was so worn off I could poke the tube. My buddy was driving it and he was leaning against the door when it flew open and he fell out, the car hit a tree and stopped. Not to much damage, the bumpers in those days were real bumpers. I used it for about a year and when I shipped out to Hawaii I sold it for $75.00.

I managed to find an Expedition for 500. Needs work and had to be towed to me. For what I've already put in and will have to continue to put in, I think it's still a good deal. Assuming I do everything (or almost everything) myself, it would still be hundreds if not a thousand or more cheaper than what I could have paid if I bought one that was running. Though I don't know much about cars. Still learning when I can.
