Thanks for the knowledge!
I always found high mileage cars from West Texas, Arizona and New Mexico not a bad buy. Motors from the North East aren't bad, body's from the desert not in the desert are a great swap.
Where do we go to ask questions? Do we just comment here or does he have a website or place where we ask him questions
Mr. Scotty with all due respect,.......the car companies nowadays are not making spare parts available for almost all these 70s and 80s cars/off roaders (most of them are warned by states to adhere to new tight fuel engine rules) ! Same with Defenders and that's why they have to build new one if they want to sell anything since govt.s all over wants to clear the old junk from road which belongs to 70s ,80's,90s even early 2000s years !
The new rules and regulations are now directly targeting these kind of old school manufacturing in all over Europe and even in some states of the USA !
So if anyone buys these old school vehicles according to your advice ,.....he is essentially on his own and your proposition to buy old one is not looking good !
Excluding Land Cruisers in Australia which are still based on late 70s and 80s design and engine setup since their govt. allowing this due to their tiny population and very big hard rough country in geography !
Land Rover have been on a cash grab since 2007. If someone wants a new defender they should keep there eye on the Ineos Grenadier which is a utility suv based on the old defender. It's due out in 2021 and being made by a UK chemicals billionaire called Sir Jim Ratcliffe and is made to be a tool for farmers, foresters and aid agencies and not a fashion statement.
Only started watching your videos recently, thought I’d never have he patience to learn about cars but man do you make it fun. Thanks, Scotty.
His username 😂😂
Victor Lara lol!
Seems like people who ask scotty questions have never watched any of his previous videos.
Or they just don’t know cars
scotty's videos are made for everyone- including people who don't already know a lot about cars
I need to ask Scotty if I should buy a Dodge Ram or a new Nissan
@@Mannard74 toyota celica 1995
@@Mannard74 save time if you let me tell you what he'll say... no! Go buy a toyota instead preferable a 1985 celica...🤣🤣🤣
Last time i was this early land rovers were still dependable
Scotty's channel hasn't been around that long.
DJBATMANGOLD RUclips wasn't even around lol
so never
RelentLess Enterprises 😂
Just don't expect CRV or RAV4 to work well in deep snow. They are prone to get stuck in any more than 5 inches of snow.
Correction. It is NOT a Ford Edsel. Edsel was a standalone brand, similar to Mercury and Lincoln. It was designed to be a secondary upscale model to compete with Olds/Buick and Dodge/Desoto. Ford owners only had one option...Mercury. Hence, Edsel. Merged after year 1 (1958) to the M-E-L Division and discontinued in model 1960.
The new Land Rover Defender reminds me of the Honda Element in terms of design.
Lol
A sneaker.
That's exactly what I said the first time I saw it
I think it looks rad, and super capable. Albeit, a tad ugly.
And about as capable off road too.
We had a 58 Edsel when I was a kid. It was as good as anything else from Ford at that time. Except....The TELE-TOUCH transmission selector in the steering hub was a big problem.
If self-employed, lease but make sure it's for 36 months. Heavier vehicles qualify for rapid depreciation (Big SUVs and trucks).
Scotty is right and I tell my customers same thing, don't buy Euro junk only lease. All the Land / Range Rovers I ever work on are absolute crap. Doesn't matter what powertrain they have in them they have all been disappointing money pits to any customer I have had. The only good Rover is a old one that has had the powertrain upgrade (GM swap for example)
Scotty so what's up with the Scotty bobbleheads I need one on my dash 😎
Bryan Thunders wait did I miss that in the video??
@@dalegribble3684 no but he has mentioned he would think of making some limited edition Scotty bobbleheads in 2 past videos!
Bryan Thunders I’d buy his entire stock!!!
I hope the arms bobble too!
It would make the bobblehead better if it made the grunt sound like scotty
I brought a dirt cheap 05 RAV4 for my company use, all I would to say is, these r tanks! They build to survive. During my 5 years usage, I only change a serpentine belt, n a hose for the heater. And it keeps run n run ….
As for the question about the guy who's been rear-ended multiple times. The CR-V and the RAV4 both crumple really severely if they get hit even at low speeds. I've seen it first hand as a tow truck driver. Ida recommend something with a little more girth so that you can drive away after the accident. Maybe a Subaru Legacy wagon or a Volvo both are great vehicles as long as you stay away from the turbo models. This is just a varying opinion.. as far as reliability and quality go the CR-V and RAV4 are both good cars. Highly saught after meaning a decent resale value.
I have a 17 year old range rover with 160k miles, still running.
I am impressed that at 5:30 you seem to have taken my advise and actually now admit that buying cars like yours at the prices you pay is difficult. I am not sure if this is because of my remarks on a video you published a day or so ago or not. But if not, then this is a huge coincidence. Either way... I appreciate you being real about how hard it is to find good used Toyotas cheap.
Land rovers are a money trap once the warranty runs out. Everything cost $500 before they tell what’s wrong with it.
That funny cat on your couch scares me every time
Meeeeeoooowlll. 🙀
Don't look into the cat's eyes ...oops too late ...now you're hooked onto Scotty's channel. ^^
I dont like the one either, i just wanna go over there and poke that freaking eyes.
lmao have to agree - it's a freaky weird abomination lol ps funny thing is -it was missing on some vids and I found myself looking for it
Not subscribed to Scotty, but good content though.
I'll stick with my ^22 Defender^ and ^09 Ford Escape^
Scotty is constantly pumping out videos! Great job 👍
Buy a used 1995 to 1999 Toyota Avalon on Craigslist from an individual for 2 grand and drive it for 400 thousand miles. It's a sleeper 200 V6 HP Beast.
Old defenders might be unreliable,but you can use them with continuous maintenance after every 3 years ! These machines won't die !
Was at the Honda dealer looking at a CRV engine, i was tappinp on the plastic valve cover, lots of plastic on the engine these days. Scotty is is going to freak out.
I miss my 1985 Ford Bronco, with a 300 ci 6 cylinder engine. Ran great, looked good, would out climb my CJ5, kids traveled in comfort, even pulled a trailer like it wasn’t there.....only real down side the clutch’ on the ac compressors kept breaking off...all 6 of them, I had them replaced by 3 different Ford Dealerships, where were you when I needed you?
The only Land Rover I would ever buy would be a classic one because they're actually reliable compared to the garbage today
I wouldnt go so far as to say even a P38 range is reliable. Simple to work on yes
The new ones are just to complicated to fix if all you may have access to is a hammer. I can see why the modern ones must scare the heck out of mechanics whose idea of sophistication is a working condenser and a clean and adjusted set of points.
Even the original Defenders were awful from new. Seen a few dealers put drip trays under brand new Defenders in the showroom.
Yep, 2 Bmw's, 1997 and 2002 5 series. Well over 100k each. Nothing aside from usual maintenance. Best cars.
Not a bad idea to lease and buy later instead of just buying it. This way, if you happen to get a number or failures or other problems, ie a lemon, or just don’t like it that much - just turn it in. If it’s trouble free and you like it, then can buy at end of lease to keep.
"You may get lucky" that would be nice
The old Defendnders are valuable because they are simple, versatile and had decent capability.
scotty im 32 years old ,, and our views on cars align to a TEE thank you, i love it when you say endless money pit and value will drop like a stone hahahahhaah so tru ,,
It's so weird how it is, I live in Europe and everyone loves BMW/Audi/merc and they are actually reliable, my first car was Audi a4 b5 with 350k km and i drove it till 450k km and sold it, nothing major broke just regular wear and tear, car is still running till this day, now i have audi a4 b8 with 230k when i bought it and 270k km now and runs like a charm, they are not hard to work on i retrofitted cruis control and aux for 40usd and coding cable,
Always enjoy Scotty keep up the good work, it helps me with my own diy jobs and reviews. 👍🏻
I literally just bought an 03 lexus is300 for 4k privately back in feb (2019) . Love the car.
What do you think about a 2018 Toyota Avalon and a 2013 Lexus ES350
I have an 08 CR-V that’s 11 years old and 130k miles, runs great the older ones are such a great build.
An '08 that's 11 years old? Incredible!
Steve Whittier nice sarcasm. 👍🏼
@@trhenryvlogs9638
Thank you, Mr. Obvious, it's in my blood. 😁
Jaguar cars look so beautiful though 😞
I love how Toyota is so old school compared to other brands. Probably why they are so reliable.
DSTY their SUV needs to be old school in able to dominate the Australian and Middle East market.
"Must b stupid to want this car" i see rappers, football players & nba players owning these
thats because they can afford to throw them away and buy a new one when the check engine lite comes on
You just don’t understand style and you don’t have the money...... :)
Scotty, which one should I buy: a used Fiat, Chrysler, Jaguar, or Mercedes? They all only have 100k miles on them.
If you do buy one, also buy a Snap-On box van w/every tool.
That van with all the tools would cost just as much as the car or possibly more
Is a 2015 Acura TLX 26000 miles for 12500 a good deal? Thanks, Scotty.
New Land Rover is going to TATA you to the mechanic shop.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
*Being a Tata fan I feel bad why they r not improving the reliability of range rovers!!!*
Thanks Scotty, l will keep my 26 yr old Defender...247000 mls...mostly original, show me one of those new ones in a quarter century, mine will still be running
Land Rover... turning owners into mechanics for 70 years... and I'm on my 3rd Land Rover.
Please do a review on the 2020 Kia Soul?!
Wouldn't you rather have a good, used Toyota?
I think the defender looked better under camaflouge
My boy Scotty💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Ford Probe & Puma in the UK are going to be valuable in the future
but the number, the spects are quite impressive, i hope i could buy the 2 door diesel engine defender, one day
I bought a 2004 Lexus GS 300 with 210k miles for 1,000 dollars. The only issue with the car is the catalytic converter. I already bought the car and would like to know if after including the repair to the cat did I get the car at a good price?
The land rover defender was an old vehicle famed for its ability to be repaired in a shed with a collection of hammers. The new one is a defender in name only. If the British military prefer the older ones, they must be better right?
Funny thing with leasing from where I'm from. If I would buy a new car with down payments I would need to get the best insurances with it. But since I'm still under 25 it cost 30% more for me.
Leasing and buying new car costs almost the same from where I'm from due to high vehicle taxes when buying. And leasing vehicles have dealer mandated insurance that is a fixed price every month that is cheaper for me to get as a whole than buying a new car and getting insurance.
Did somebody noticed, Scotty never talked bad about the the luxury brand....'AUDI'....check it in the future folks, whenever he said something bad about the luxury cars he always brings up the names mercedes, bmw etc but never say bad about the AUDI.
*Scotty you need to STOP calling people stupid*
My dad has an original series 2 land drover that he fixed up and its still working like a mule
Scotty.What do you think if the new Jeep commerical?
Two of them driving around in the rain and mud with the doors off and the glass roof off?
It looks so stupid
Just curious about your opinion about Subaru as a car brand. Or have you done any videos on them? Thanks.
Never mind, I found your video... I am considering a Baja. Hopefully I can find one with a manual.
Thanks for all of these awesome videos Scotty. They are entertaining, informative and oddly addictive.
Yo Scotty you the 🐐
I would like to own a Ford Edsel! Love the oddly shaped front end especially!
Hey Scotty, what are your opinions on the new Honda Accord sport? is it worth the buy or should I buy a used one?
Scotty, some of us are not so stupid, just technically and mechanically challenged.
Hey scotty. Bought an 03 ford f150 at the beginning of the year. Used. Looked really clean one owner well taken care of. Only had to replace water pump and a rear tire so far. But being as it's a super crew v8 Triton, it seems to eat gas bad. Alot more then my old v8 dakota. Is this normal? Is there something I can do besides fuel cleaners and tire pressure and all that to help improve the gas mileage?
you probably will never get better than 12mpg in town and 16 on the highway. You can try putting in a few extra psi in the tires. The best I ever got with mine was 21mpg on the highway and 14 in town. and that was running pure gasoline. (no ethanol) I had also inflated the tires with 99.5% pure nitrogen. ( I LOVE nitrogen, by the way. PURE nitrogen, not the way Costco does it)
I have been with Ford since 2004 and almost all of my customers get 10 - 12 in town, and 14 - 16 freeway. My dads truck too. The aftermarket spark plugs seem to make the mileage worse so I don't recommend those
Scotty, how about selling that ‘94 Celica? Fingers crossed that I might get lucky 🤞🏽
Scotty what are some of the better pickup trucks you'd recommend?
people in the 1960: cars in the future will be much better because of better metallurgy and better materials and better manufacturing quality
land rover, bmw, mercedes, vw, fiat, chrysler, chevy, renault, nissan in 2019: [laughs in cheap plastic]
Now: Better brakes, rustproofing, paint, tires. ignition and fuel injection.
Then: Much cooler styling.. and engines
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up
Hi Scotty, what do you think about BMW 128i M package 2012, automatic straight 6 engine???🤫🤫🙏🙏
Meh... Mercedes has been building the G Wagen in basically the same form since the 1970s. They've built millions of them, and they're still extremely valuable. The older ones cost a small fortune and the new ones hold their value better than any other luxury car, despite the sales volume. If people want something, the values will reflect it. Don't know if the Defender will go that route, but there's at least a chance.
Wow scotty's vids rolling out .. gad dammmm
I'd say the CX-5 is also a great small SUV.
Really a RAV4? I have one now (inherited) it's a 17 and it needs 4wd, and *POWER* . I measure it's acceleration with a calendar. I've had it for a year now and it's almost at 48 mph.
What are your thoughts on the Land Rover velar
My yukon is a pretty good vehicle. I always take care of it, I take it to the car wash every 2 weeks and the best thing is that I rarely drive it, only on weekends. Weekdays I drive a Toyota Camry to work👍🏼.
This new defender should have the discovery 5 based of design and the new defender should have been even more square like and utilitarian
Even in Australia Cryster Jeep is total CRAP and STEALING huge $$$$$ in repair costs - $30,000 for new Diesel fuel injectors and fuel system ! OUCH!
hay Scottie I love your Chanel what you think about the Honda pilot???
Scotty, im lookin for an SUV. Im debating between a pilot, highlander, and nx350. Which would u recommend
Scotty what do you think about lotus switching their powertrains from toyota to volvo?
Scotty, my wife’s 2016 Jeep Patriot makes a noise (grinding) only when she lets off the gas at 50 mph or faster. Took it to Jeep and of course the claim they dont hear it and nothing wrong. Any ideas? And yes I already figured out dont but a newer jeep and not a Patriot lol.
it may be possible that the all wheel drive unit is the source. you need to keep taking it in for them to find the problem as it could be a safety concern. ask to speak to the service director. have you checked to make sure all four tires are identical in size, tread design, and outside diameter? if they are not then the problem may be the abs/awd/traction control system may be getting confused and trying to engage.
Ray S thanks you much
Ray S thank you so much for reply.. my 95 Jeep still going strong hers is crap
@@dswear426
You're welcome. Good luck
If they limit production and they arent too bad reliability wise they could have decent resale.
Scotties favorite word is Stupid now.
New Defender has multiple downsides compared with the original. The new one is called an “OffRoad Computer”...thats all you need to know.
That land rover does look good
With all the newer junk now and people wanting older reliable where do you think this will all be 10 years from now?
Hey Scotty what do you think of Toyota Tacoma 2008 V6
Typically he thinks good of those but get it checked out by a pro
CRV IS NOT SUV thats a lil crossover (car)
when someone says they want suv they are probably thinking more of a high lander atleast if not a 4 runner land cruiser
something with a frame.
you want to be safe get a gmc /yukon!
Old ones are worth more money because they are illegal to bring em into the US. Only years 92-93 are around and these get scooped up and restored to new.
Hey Scotty... your awesome exposing the garbage that car companies and oil companies sell... thanks!!
I don't know about land rover but Tata makes really good and reliable vehicles back in India.
2:26 I didn't catch it. Why is Messi a Pimp, and in a Trabant?
Scotty been a fan for a while and learn a lot, but I have a 2012 Chevy impala Ltz with 106 thousand miles. My sunroof is starting to chatter when I’m closing the thing back. When I have it open it has play on the drivers side when you pull on it and not on the passenger side. Could it need new sliders? Is so would I have to take the head liner down?
Mr Scotty Kilmer , what is your opinion on a 2004 Ford sport track , 4.0 V6
I have no idea of the mileage on it the odometer just has dots where digits are. Starts instantly and runs smoothly. They want $4200 for it. I have my audi I have had for 5 years and love but don’t want to haul junk in it and need to be able to tow a small trailer (900 lbs empty , 2400 lbs loaded) is . Not familiar with the 4.0 V6 , is it any good . . I can fix any electrical problem but don’t want to take apart a motor and will not work on a transmission. It is loaded.
You're sure throwing the word "stupid" around a lot lately.
Scotty! Love the show. I know Cadillac CTS’s are endless money pits, but I think they look great, are comfortable to sit in, and drive nice. I found a used 2019 CTS with less than 20,000 miles for almost $25,000 under its original MSRP. Is it worth buying since it already depreciated so much?
The point of the new one is to make people realize how good the old one was and bring the value of those up
Hey scotty what do you think about new toyota CH-R
I got a ? 2010 land rover lr2 or 2003 Acura MDX which is better?
New Landrover Defender is a sweet ride. I may buy one!
