    I'm 20 and fix my own vehicles, 2 Mercedes and a Jeep and I can tell you first hand young AND old people don't want to deal with the absolute nonsense that has become of cars. It'd be different if they were well built and didn't break or leak. But too many companies are using complex designs with cheap plastics, cheap thin wiring, and rtv where rtv does not belong, and it's all getting crammed into small spaces to the point that nobody wants to even work on them and it's usually a small fortune sometimes the value of the car to fix it at a shop.

But car enthusiasts are a big multi billion dollar industry all over the world. The younger generations all want the same things that we wanted. Race cars, lifted trucks, Lamborghinis, etc. No one cares about seeing a Tesla, Everyone loves seeing an old Corvette or muscle car.

    Car Wizard hit the nail on the head when he described the youngsters views on maintenance of a traditional fuel engine car. Just like their phones they will run the contract on an electric car and then replace with the latest generation on a new contract. They will not tolerate maintenance and repair of an older vehicle. They will run a leases car for ever renewing every 2-4 years. This is probably why the manufacturers love electric cars. Always selling or leasing new cars.

It was a JDM so it only had around 60,000 miles, plus another ten thousand from being here, dad had to change the turbo out, it was pissing oil all over the place. It would have been an expensive job if I didn't find a JDM one on KZread, I got it for $275 and spent another $75 for gaskets and O-rings. Those small engines with direct fuel injection and turbos WILL wear out once the car gets over 100,000 miles on them, too much pressure inside the piston, you'll get oil dilution which leads to main bearing failure and the list just goes on.

    speaking about the future of electric vehicles. yes, as a millennial i dont want to deal with combustion engines anymore. they are loud, lack torque, theres so much that can be misdiagnosed or hard to get to. even on a toyota. however there is still a lot that has to be maintained/repaired on a electric vehicle. suspension components, windshield repairs, brakes, other stuff that shouldnt normally break but still will at some point. i doubt that you will go out of business once electric vehicles become mainstream. quick lube shops probably, but not general repair shops that know what they are doing.

And I guess Car Wizard is right about the young generation car users..they don't want to be bothered by any mechanical problems driving a car. That will all be electric in the future, just a battery and an electric driving shaft for the wheels. There"ll be no more gasoline cars or carmechanics in 50 years from now!!

    I like that parts washer, not sure it's going to get all that gasket seal off though but it should soften it up some to make it easier to get off and have a nice clean cover to put back on which is great. Some of these Mercedes love to over-engineer stuff to their own detriment at times, its just what they do. Excellent until they need fixing like you say.

    Our Cayenne has a small oil leak on the valve cover. If you drive it 4-5 times a week you never notice. My wife works part-time so sometimes she won't drive for 4-5 days and that's when it seeps down to the headers and it stinks and smokes just a bit. I plan on fixing it myself but it seems to be fixing itself. It hardly leaks much more and is definitely slowing down.

    While the exact year is never mentioned, there are certain years that had severe issues. For example, if you owned an early year model 2016, then the piston rings were faulty causing an internal oil consumption. This is primarily because the piston oil rings were easily clogged, thus preventing the oil to drain back to the sump. Generally, both the cylinders & piston rings are upgraded together. However, this was eventually fixed later that year. Obviously, we don't know if this Volvo is an Inscription trim or not. However, certain features such as a leather dashboard & Bowers & Wilkins audio system are missing.

    The 1 problem with these newer cars with touch screen displays apart from the finger prints, is the reality that it will fail at some stage and getting a replacement can be very expensive.

    So my 2008 Corolla had check engine light on. The vacuum line from the anti rollover valve had a broken molded plastic connector. My mechanic said he had to replace the entire fuel tank. Yes as I found out the anti rollover valve is one with the gas tank, and the vacuum line is integral to that valve. $800 for a a gas tank on a 256000 mile Corolla. I fixed with some super glue and epoxy and we’re all set. Will the GL make 256000 miles?

    The one drawback for longer trips is the time it takes to recharge vs. refuel - hours vs. minutes. Until they perfect the battery exchange in as many sites as there are gas stations, it isn't for me. I am sure that eventually it will be solved and at that point I will switch - I don't think it will be in my lifetime.
