And if not for patriotism and dumb address buying that junk, GMC, Chrysler et all would've folded long ago. Government ball out or not.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention the Honda Accord. A while ago, I got an 01 Accord Coupe from my neighbor (with just 75K miles) for free b/c it sat for many years in his backyard without being used and it would've cost him THOUSANDS to fix it and get it registered. But, I fixed it up myself for about $500-$600 and even though it's now 19 years old, that car still runs like a clock. Best $600 I ever spent! 😁

    1 - Mass Air Flow sensor issue. Had to cleanup including the manifold for the warning to go off.
    2- Suddenly started to throw out thick white smoke and was misfirering. Had to clean all and replace one injector.
    3 - The AC cannot be controlled. I slightly increased the temperature and it kept throwing out HOT AIR ONLY. The issue was with its Actuators.
    So… Honestly, I doubt your statement of this Lexus being the best and most reliable car ???

Extremely strong body work, simple to work on, rear wheel drive, lots of space to work on etc. I sold hundreds of Ford Fiesta, Escort, Taunus, Sierra etc and no oil problems, no gaskets, no gears broken , anything which occur with other makes, but times are changing and no such cars are made anymore. Ford was a genius and a real car maker, very good engines and very reliable ... but that's my personal opinion.

    This is helpful. Thanks Scotty. My problem is that I'm 7 feet tall and have 240 extra pounds I didn't have when I was in college. So, the Crown Vic sounds like my choice, though I'd rather have a Camry with its longevity record. I'd have to adjust my driver's seat back to fit. I did that for my 92 Cadillac Deville but I'm having more car repairs than the car's worth.

    Just got a 2009 civic, 90,000 miles, manual for 4500. Couldn't be happier. Get the manual fellas, Honda transmissions are amazing. It's no 370z that I just sold but making a huge profit and downgrading makes me smile.

    My dad always road shared for years with 4 to 5 guys and always bought used Buicks, big Buicks. This was at a time that Japanese cars didn't exist in America. He always wanted his cars comfortable and huge.

    I like your videos, this one also I liked but you didn't give me any years to go along with automobiles. I'm more than sure some years are better than others. Thanks

    Good info, thanks Scotty! But weren't there some years of the Toyota Camry that had problems with burning oil? What model years of the Toyota Camry do you recommend? What model years of the Honda Civic do you recommend?
