Is It Stupid To Fix Up A 300,000 Mile Vehicle? Let Settle This!

  • Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
  • Most people get rid of vehicles well before 300,000 miles, often times due to concerns about reliability. So, let's go through a vehicle that has over 300,000 miles on it from top to bottom and front to back to prepare this vehicle for another 100,000 reliable miles! Includes rust repair, front end rebuild, complete tune up, axle hub bearing replacement, fluid changes, new brakes and rotors, front end alignment, headlight bulb replacement, MAF sensor cleaning, tensioner pulley bearing replacement, fan clutch replacement, axle seal replacement, and A/C freon level check.
    I purchased all of the parts and supplies used for this vehicle. So, thank you for supporting the channel!

      Well the only issue is the most important parts(transmission/engine) are pretty likely to fail when you get into high miles, so you’re risking putting this work in and then needing to buy a new engine. I’ve never seen a cheap transmission, but you can get a 5.3l for under 1k, so maybe not such a terrible cost

      Slooper, that's awesome. Quick story..I bought a brand new Lexus LS 400 the year they came out. I loved it. I brought it to the dealer for routine service and asked the service manager how long it would last if I kept up on the routine stuff. He brought me deep into their shop and showed me my exact car purchased a month earlier than mine with 301,000 miles on it. It belonged to a traveling salesman who didn't fly. He said the car drives like new. I told him that sounded far fetched. He pulled it out and told me to take it out for 15 minutes. (with the owner's permission) I'll be danged if it wasn't just as tight feeling and quiet as mine that had less than 50K on it. Toyota makes amazing stuff. Your story reminded me of that so I figured I'd share. I sold mine at 75K and did okay. It held a lot of value back then. Cheers and here's to 500K.

    That repair job on the quarter panel came out great; you just dived right in and came out successful! Wow!
    Others probably would have mentioned the knock down steps afterwards with buffers to remove the orange peel. Also some paints have metallic finish instead of solid colors but I’m amazed how well that rattle can did. Masking off the area to include windows helps to keep over spray down.
    Lastly the clear on vehicles is special unlike manufactured clear coats, they make a 2k clear coat in a rattle can with a hardener in the bottom. It’s pricey and time limited but closer to the durability of automotive clear coats.
    I don’t normally type out long messages but I really enjoy your videos and find your attention to detail refreshing.
