Audibly laughed when I saw the camera footage after the guy claimed he “didn’t realize he hit the car” when he dragged the thing half way out of the parking spot. The dealership situation is unfortunate but not surprising, the guy who hit the car had nothing to do with them so it shouldn’t be on them to fix it. Hopefully they will be more mindful on the placement of future customer cars so this kind of situation doesn’t happen again. As far as I can tell you did nothing wrong in your handling of the situation as anyone would be frustrated and disappointed about something like this happening, especially since you’re already having to put a lot of trust in someone to handle your car without you present, and in this case the (almost) worst case scenario happened. Hopefully she’ll be good as new and you won’t have to deal with this again

You are overreacting and then some - this is an old C5, you can get those fenders for nearly nothing - so many available - they around $300 all over eBay or pretty much any junkyard. Grab your 5K and say thank you twice. This whole repair would cost less than 1500. BTW, you don't have to replace the fender - it can be fixed - it's just fiberglass. They fix them the same way they fix bumpers.

Why would the dealership do anything? It was extremely nice for them to give you a discount, but if you feel like they should have done something differently, you're crazy.

I think you handled it well George for I would have been locked and loaded. Since the fender is fiberglass is there a way you can have the body shop repair it?

You went to Reaume's????

Good to see more content...

Any body shop can fiberglass that damage. I did fiberglass repair on a plane wing back in high school that was worse than that. You should be able to pay a shop about $1500 to repair and paint and you can pocket the rest.

The entire situation is a bummer…thankfully the dealership had video of the accident. Given the facts I agree with the dealerships position…ultimately they are not at fault as long as the trucks insurance makes you whole. It’s disappointing that GM has made most C5 parts obsolete…given that it’s the flag ship and they sold over 250k C5’s…hopefully you get your car sorted and looking good as new.

GM is becoming very disappointing, can not keep in stock of parts for their flag ship.

Wow- yeah I wouldn’t be too thrilled if something like that happened to my Vette at the shop, so I understand your reaction. At least their insurance is paying for it 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve got a silver 2001 convertible.

After watching this video, I decided to go buy a 5th gen 4runner

Good video although I am just now seeing it. I have all these upgrades and did so on my 2000 Z51 and my 2003 Z06. My LED lights are not just on the headlights but every light inside and outside the Vette. What a difference. I also have the sleepy eye version. Still pop-up but not so high. I get high with a little help of my friends. 😂

This guy is the biggest hater of a 4runner and it will out last the jeep dodge kia ford the 4runner will last 300,000 miles

No one buys this car for tech or mpg, plus the new 4Runner is a 4 cylinder turbo so it won’t feel the same or last as long. You’re really reaching in this video

The reasons you gave is precisely why i love this car.

Sounds like everything you named is just less problems to have

Also that big screen you're raving about on the new 4runner is only on the premium models, which will be the same or more than the 5th gen pro. And have fun with your gps for the first year before the subscription ends

When you make any sort of comparison that starts or ends with "in my ford edge" you lose all credibility

What type of fuel do you use?

Have you seen a jeep key fob? Yeesh.

I just bought my 5th gen 4runner! The many videos of the 4runners don’t do any justice until you actually go to a dealership and test drive one. The tech is outdated but it does the job. Fuel economy is not great but I rather pay at the pump than have to visit my dealership for mechanical issues. The engine is the best part of this vehicle! The old school V6 is so smooth and reliable. I cant say anything about the new turbo engines of the new SUV but i would say newer things tend to be bugged and need rework throughout its first few years of release. Resale value of these 5th gen are insane! Good vid tho!

What a dumbass 😂

Thanks for the video. I am buying a 2012 4Runner the day after tomorrow! 🙂

Just bought one the best decision ever I’ll wait until the price drops on he 6th gen

I wish your channel had taken off and you had started doing this full time. Charity support and a no BS, well made video of good information - I love it.

You had me at "Costco" :D

I'm on my 3rd 4Runner, each with over 200,000 wonderful miles.......

Man this video hasn’t aged well as ive had mine for 8 years now. 170k miles and going. 😎

Great review!!! I just ordered one today!

I have the 2018 Titanium version and I have enjoyed everything about this car. I purchased it early 2019 with 26.000 miles for $ 29.000 and now it has 72.000 miles with no problems. I have the basic service through the years and now I change brake fluid and engine filter. I hope it continues to be a reliable car for un other few years.😊😊😊

this has got to be the dumbest video i have seen about not getting a 5th gen 4Runner.

built for americans

Every one of your “perceived” negatives are all absolute positives for me. More tech more problems. Dainty little dials < Manly mechanical levers.

You do not know your facts very well about the 4runner AT all.

I just upgraded my headlights with the projectors from sharp light innovations. My wife thought there was a flying saucer outside the house the first time I pulled into the driveway.

The new tech is garbage. What do I need a larger touch screen for? Why would I need a better resolution back up camera? All I need is good enough. Generally, the less tech the better - far less to break.

This was a waste of time to watch. All these problems you listed is what makes it reliable. You can't have it both ways my guy. Keep voting for Justin and enjoy that hefty carbon tax. Because money saves the air right ?

It’s amazing that some people think their opinion matters, drive your Kia idiot. You will never see me touch a video on this channel again.

Cars never break down 👌👌👌

I just couldn’t be bothered to watch your stupid pointless video… obviously you don’t understand nothing about offroad and what a capable tool and platform for upgrades (which your wamy lamy ford crossover can never be) the 4runner is… your reasons are as incompetent and ignorant as you are!

change the blower for AC/heater

“The shifts are slow, not overly smooth” lol did you even drive it?

Holy shit. This has to be the worst advice I’ve ever heard for buying a vehicle.

So basically, get a 2001 or newer auto if I don’t even want to deal with column lock problems.

Sounds like a lot of nitpicking. 5th Gen > 6th Gen

“…in a Kia or a ford” 😂

Scared to update? mmmm sure. I'm taking delivery of my new 24 TRD ORP next week. Your Ford Edge will never make it to where I off-road but most people don't need that capability but the 4Runner has always been based on using them off-road even if people didn't use it for this reason. IMHO the 6th gen looks like vomit. No hood struts but oh auto lift gate. I can lift it myself. I don't want new tech nor removable doors. Glad I don't have a 15inch screen inside my vehicle. I don't need that either.

I have brain rot watching this. Ok so the engine hasn’t been updated because it doesn’t need to be. BULLET PROOF! the transmission is a slow poke 5-speed because it doesn’t need to be. BULLET PROOF! The logic of waiting for a new model year is idiotic. YeS lEtS aLl WaiT fOr ThE nEw OnE. Yes let’s wait for the new model with an engine that has more complex components that isn’t tried and true like previous years. I’m not sure your familiar with the simple logic of adding more components adds more points of failure. This video is as weak as your jawline.

This comes from a guy that says he drives a ford edge .....that right there says it all 😅
