Remember they don't pay their workers any kind of acceptable wage
guys remember Scotty is not suicidal
I heard you say spray on rust stuff doesn't work, but I wonder if you have ever tried something besides store bought products like phosphoric acid and ethanol? Chip off the flaky parts, and mix about a 20:1 ratio respectively, and spray it on. I've seen this do wonders for frames and other commonly rusted out parts!

What do you think about Elon Musk buying Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram?
I think he could be the next Lee Iacocca!
I miss small pickup trucks in the U.S. The average person doesn't need a 50k full-size monster truck to get from point A to point B.
You can buy a new half ton chevy or gmc pickup for $31400.
@@jaycheeseman6 It weighs 5000 pounds and costs $38,000 after dealer fees.
I bought a 2000 Ford ranger pickup for about 11 Grand. Not my everyday car but still picks up all the stuff I need from home Depot
Scotty is a genius. Not only is he extremely intelligent, but he can be hilarious 🤣
@@CokefishR with a turbo 4 cylinder...no thanks.
I used to buy used vehicles just to save money. Now I only buy used cars to save money AND get better quality.
What's a used compact (Toyota or Honda) that you'd recommend?
We will not see any new passenger vehicle in USA for $15,000, EVER. Same as we will never see a $20,000 Toyota truck.
Vote Trump and we will.
You're correct but it wouldnt surprise me to see China buy Dodge, Ram and Jeep and start selling EV cars for 25,000 in the USA. Trucks and Jeeps would obviously cost more but still less than everyone else.
And we wont see any Auto Manufactures anymore because people are not going to pay the prices anymore and all the big Auto Makers are going to go Bankrupt. Game Over
I remember new Toyota pickup for $6000 new in high school. Of course that was 1988
Yeah they released this cheep work truck Hilux 2 in Thailand and we're never gonna see it.
When they come in with 15k cars it’s OVER for every manufacturer! Every manufacturer raised prices 40-50% on every car. A Cheap Chevy of Ford is 32-35k, they stopped making 20k cars…Corporate greed will kill America
Can you imagine the quality of a 15 k Chinese vehicle.
Everything they make falls apart..I don't see cars being any different
@@Tulsa7412 I remember when the price of what the dealership scammed you with, wasn't the actual factor for the overall quality of the vehicle. good times
Boycott chang garbage.
Corporate Greed killed America long ago, right BLACK WATER?
@@Tulsa7412imagine the quality of an American made $50k-$60k vehicle. oh wait. you don't have to imagine.
Corporations are making a killing outsourcing to Mexico, China and outside the U.S. Once they import the cars into the U.S., companies are jacking up the price. It’s huge profit margins.
One of the reasons Chinese cars are cheaper is the massive government subsidies to their manufacturers in order to increase exports.
Ford gm Tesla ... All of them are getting money too...
AND THE FREE SHIPPING RESERVED FOR REGISTERED CHINESE COMPANIES
@@luisestebanr6311 lol china is a dictatorship they can throw money into EVERY COMPANY they want. what america is doing is peanuts comared to china, YOU HAD NO POINT, your little grandma with shose silly glasses is talkin bull crap again 😂
And the free slave labor.
Same as European and American cars!
Even if China is allowed to export to USA, they'll raise the prices to slightly under the American manufacturers. Hyundai did it when they came here.
Makes sense
@@LildaddyFire151 That the way of Asian tac tic they dump the goods to eliminated competitor by cutting price and quality. The western CEO is stupid enough to fall to this trap and get rid of their skills employee and moved to China. Once there is no competitiveness left, the Asiam company raised the price and cut more quality. I used to be a smuggler of Western High quality goods to these countries since there is a 889% importation taxes on car electronics goods that made in USA.
When Hyundai first came to USA, Hyundai cars cost 50% of American and Japanese cars.
You think Americans will buy cars made in China when the price slightly under the price of cars made in USA. Only way Americans will buy cars made in China is if the prices are considerably lower than that of cars made in America.
@@thomaskim5008 Probably nothing could get me to buy a Chinese car.. but the Hyundai Excel was about $6k in 1986, and Toyota Corolla was about $7k
@@bajabret60 Hyundai Excel started at $4995 while Toyota Corolla started at $9418 according to the Google. You don’t have to buy cars from China. Others will buy them. By the way, people said same thing when Hyundai came to US in 1986. But, many people change their mind and buy Hyundai
IF this was to be brought to the USA, it's be $48,000 minimum.
I am an American living in Thailand, and waiting for BYD, the largest EV maker in the world to introduce their ‘Seagull’ model here for US$11,000.
Although I am not sold on EVs, it would make a great spare car to get around locally for a cheap price. And they are built very well.
I also live in Thailand (Mahasarakham) and BYD is growing like a weed.
All Electric? I'm instantly not interested
Yeah, sign me up, not!!
Made in China, and all electric! I'm doubly instantly not interested.
A bev consists of a heat pump heating/cooling system + simple electric motors + simple chassis + software. Do we agree the complexity of modern ice vehicles powertrain in order to get any reasonable mpg and emissions is super complex and super complex to repair. Also the ice vehicle business model is based on regular visits to dealership service centers. Do we think that business model is sustainable when buyers want vehicles that just run without need to visit service centers?
@@myusrn Those electric motors are highly specialized to be able to run at such a high power and efficiency, and are powered by very complex electronic circuits that are extremely fragile due to the high voltage and current they must output to those motors. The battery packs are also complex so that all the hundreds of batteries charge evenly, because if one battery fails and reverse charges, it will blow up. Not to mention the computers that run the things. There is nothing simple about an EV.
All electric, and look where it was made. I'm doubly not interested. And thanks to RUclips, my original comment was censored.
if you pause the video just right. that lil motorcycle tire on the shelf behind scotty lines up perfectly w/ his ear making it look like he has a big ear ring on.
wow u must have a lot of time

@@mohsionahmed6994😂😂😂

Scotty is indeed telling the best, maintain and fix your own car. And save a lot on time and money.
If your time is worth less than a mechanics.
I’m astonished by the ignorance of grown Americans buying habits.
Don’t these people ever research the products they exchange their money before buying???
I haven’t driven an American made brand in over 30 years, because they aren’t up to Japanese standards.
I’m still driving the 08 Tundra I bought new, and it still looks new inside and out, and runs like new even with 250,000 miles! And I own a 2001 Prism ( Corolla) I bought used for $400.00, and daily drive it and it looks and drives new too!
I knew 30 years ago that our legacy brands are inferior. How come no one else has figured this out by now ???
I'm 46 and have never considered buying an American truck or car.
There are standouts, currently looking at chevy equinox, supposedly only second to toyota in it's segment. Not only a lot less up front but parts are more available and cost a lot less.
First gen Equinoxes were OK, then they put a turbo 4 in it and they're absolute garbage now. Comparing an Equinox to a Toyota is laughable.
@@robskyle check consumer reports I will take that over internet opinion
Read a book by David Halberstram, 3:31 THE RECKONING it was written in the 80's it is about the decline of the American automobile industry.
ford maverick is made in mexico, but the decent configured Maverick still costs 38K. outsourcing doesn't mean cheaper product.. it's a strategy for companies to exploit foreign workers for cheap labour cuz they cannot do it in USA and the end goal is to increase their profit margins.
Then you think you get ahead buying stocks .😅 With the CEOs making tens of millions and added perks even when they are lousy ( case in point as of late : Boeing ) regular people without insider knowledge have NO chance !
We can’t pay our employees $3.0 a day, that’s why. We can’t build factories without miles of red tape, that’s why. We have tons of taxes, that’s why
They also have slavery.
I agree that the foreigners fail to pay workers fairly. However, I yearn to see an honest cost analysis for the production of a vehicle entirely in the US given that workers should receive a fair wage.
We are responsible for our corporate greed, US being birthplace of capitalism. Look at the ridiculous medical & pharma industry! We are 100% responsible for never-ending inflation and endless printing of dollars!
@VKSgtSLaughter nope they don't. If you visit China, you'd be shocked how developed they are.
@yelwing Exactly right. A lot of American companies definitely suck, but China cheats. Chuck Fina.
A 15k price tag that you will want ... but it's attached to an electric car that you won't want.
I think they will have hybrid as well
You go on about how great the Chinese are, but you are old enough to remember when all the corporations were pushing the idea of moving operations to China. The stipulation put forth by the Chinese government was that they have a Chinese team work right along with the US management team to learn the processes. We have them the edge the they so desperately wanted. I am no genius in business but I remember how i thought that was an insane thing to do....but here we are.
The problem with corporate American outsourcing all of those jobs overseas is they are outsourcing their customers to overseas by moving those jobs. Those workers get paid a lot less and can't buy the products they are making (remember Henry Ford raising wages so his workers could afford his cars?). Now they can't figure out why no Americans can afford their cars...
After dealer markup and adjustments. It will. Easily $45k starting
I've got a two wheel bicycle that runs with no gasoline and keeps me in top physical condition.
I wouldn’t touch a Chinese electric car with a ten foot pole
You would rather pay an American company to put a " made in America" stamp on a Chinese car.
Typical American
LOL. They are good. We have BYD in Brazil (amonst others) and they have been put to the test. Much better than any Ford out there in the road around here....
But you can buy made in China phones and households items?. 😂😂😂😂
Sadly, we used to say “buy American” all through the 70’s and 80’s too and allowed Japanese cars to come in and grow into what we have now. It will be fhe same for China because we now have even less American pride.
What about with an 11 foot pole?
Henry Kissinger transferred American manufacturing to China decades ago. It was a one way road.
thats true; but now CCP is aggresively trying to force themselvs into the market with massive subsidies to their "new energy" car makers; Bloomberq says 231 Billion USA.. they also don't seem to know what quality contril is -
We need to take our country back or we will become slaves….. then we will work for $3 per day
I sometimes wonder how much Kissinger got paid to stand around and say
"Hub-blub-Hub-blub-Hub-blub Blub."
Nixon opened China.
@@barney6888now could be the sounds of boiling lava in hell.
Korean cars bad... American cars bad... But somehow cheap Chinese car good... Yeah right

You don't have to pay your employees so much when it's cheaper to live there. Especially when we are so over taxed and prices are way to high.
Are they still putting suicide nets outside the windows of their manufacturing plants? Or, was that just the iPhone plant?
@@marcusjohnson5412Just a few ones, iphone factories are of the best ones, they actually love foxconn because pays decently, has A/C and doesnt hold your salary back.
The effective tax rate in China is 30% and the effective tax rate in the US is 23%. So we actually pay less taxes and still make things more expensive.
u are overtaxed because the USdebt is 35 trillionmotsly from foreign wars for resources

Scotty, love what you do! FYI. Soichira Honda quote:”If you make a defective product, you are a defective person.
If interested, there are some great biographies on his life.
Roji
He also had a great corporate philosophy.
I don't even think it's going to be a corporate lobbying problem to butter up politicians when QA doesn't allow chinese cars to be imported. It's actually not about price but for once legitimately about safety.
I agree with you Scottie, we need to become competitive again, without tariffs, that way the public wins, and the best companies win as well.
As for paint failure..
Flaking paint is 1 of 2 things
1.contamination to surface
2.they NEVER ETCHED METAL
Etching the metal is as easy as washing it with PURE WHITE VINEGAR 😂 that simple. I think it was never etched!!!
As much as I disagree with the overpriced cars. Buying Chinese cars is not the solution for America. It will destroy American jobs.
Partially true. But it's the top execs who are moving production to China that are really destroying American jobs. All so they can buy their 20th Yacht that they will never step foot on.

Poor, overpriced products, will destroy US jobs.
You have a GREAT channel. It's true our companies ship jobs to cheaper countries than charge is more than ever before
The car companies are not the problem. The Chinese don't have UNIONS! The benefits alone are enough to make the US manufacturers non-competitive. And American car workers make two to four times the wages of the Chinese workers.
I don't blame GM, Ford, Chrysler for prices. It's the UAW. They passed fair wages a long time ago.
Coke A cola has been doing business with Mexico since late 60's .They were ahead of the Game!
I live in Mexico. The Chinese cars have taken a bite out of the market. They are junk. No parts support. Pay now or pay later.

GOOD LUCK WHEN THE LOW QUALITY BATTERY GOES UP IN FLAMES
I drove a friend's BYD Song in Shanghai and it's super high-quality and well-manufactured. Their EV cars, regardless of how one feels about this market, are pretty top notch. They're really trying to prove something in their manufacturing by breaking stereotypes and I respect that. They got that efficiency thing going with all their industries, not just EV cars. Given the air pollution issues that use to plague major cities, I see EV cars becoming mainstay vehicles in the country. Still prefer my Subaru though, lol. But if I were to relocate there for work, I'd go EV as they have the infrastructure for this.
Except... they explode and spontaneously combust from time to time... Bummer huh?

Our manufacturing has built a truck getting incredibly high mileage.
A friend of my uncle bought Ford pickup in the 70's.
He thought gas gauge wasn't working.
After having it ck'd 6 times by the dealer. They found that an experimental carburetor. Installed by mistake. Ford wanted truck back. He wouldn't give it back. He had to make a deal when he was ready to sell Ford was first in line to buy. To hide this technology.

Geely is well financed and they own Volvo/Polestar, London Cab, and big chunk of Daimler Benz. They have plenty of engineering resources as well.
Since Geely owns Volvo, there's a plant in South Carolina.
Last part I ordered from the Volvo dealer. It said made in Sweden on the bag. Part for my 98 940 made in China
Toyota dealerships do the same, they won't help unless you buy the car from their dealer.
Chinese bought trademarks or/and mfg Enfield(motorcycle), MG, and Volvo...they will crush the non-Chinese makers of electric vehicles.
Eicher Motors owns Royal Enfield. Based out of India I believe. They've been setting up test riding demos like crazy lately at dealerships across the country. Own one myself, good city bike, but definitely not great for freeway riding.
I have pealing paint on my Toyota Tacoma. Just a few years old. My brother's 1999 Mercury Marquee has the original paint which looks better than my much newer Toyota.
The Chinese are losing money on most of their endeavors to get a foot in the door. As soon as they have a hold in the market, they'll do the same exact thing. Expecting any less of our enemies is foolish.

Go Test Drive one Scotty !!!
Scotty's right about read your electric utility's policy for 'buying' your generated electricity BEFORE you planning adding solar and incurring all those costs. Here is SE MN, my utility will only square with your annual consumption at their wholesale cost and reset your electric account each year to 0. So, if you had surplus they restart the counter each year. So, you still pay the utility's base costs, which is a large part of my bill. The only way to possibly make solar work is to disconnect from the utility, so, you're on your own. Re-connection fees must be also considered. They can be quite high. A lot of homework needs to be done and be sure of the costs. Panels are usually rated for 10 years, etc.

Scotty you would be amazed how much automation is in automobile assembly plants in the US, l worked in assembly plants for 35 years and seen over 50% of job's disappear to automation. But in reality robotics are very expensive to buy and maintain and subject to cyber attacks which l have seen on several occasions. Labor south of the border and most overseas countries is cheaper compared to more complex robotics for difficult assembly movements.
As an American I realize that we think far too much of ourselves than we should. My wife is from the Philippines and she says it takes a college degree just to work at McDonalds. Manufacturing will not come back to the USA until USA worker realize that they aren’t worth more than any other worker around the world. They are smart and they work hard.
Why would McDonald's require a college degree to flip burgers? Is it considered a well-paying job there?
@@theotheleo6830they don't. College is sold to them like it's sold in the US. The Philippines has over 75% poverty rate with a feudal colomial system. In short, its ran by 20 corrupt families and it follows what the US elites tell them.
Why should one person get all the money? The people who work aren't asking for more than a good place to live and balance in life? Who do you think you are to tell workers they're nothing more than slaves? Your kind are cowards, bullying people and picking their pockets. Nothing more than a lunchroom thug.
I’m Filipino and it’s true that you need a college degree for managerial positions but not for crew members.
@@esvbanksthat's not too crazy
Scotty, I really enjoy your videos, but your rant about not placing tariffs on China is completely wrong. I know first hand that China steals intellectual property without any consequences. They don’t care about patents or copyrights. They send their people to steal semiconductor processes and take them back to China. American and European companies pay extreme R&D costs and have to distribute that cost into the cost of their final product. China on the other hand bypasses the R&D cost by stealing it. I would think twice about what would happen if China stole your business and you didn’t have any recourse.
What in the world have you done to your set lighting since you got back to Clarksville?
I remember a vehicle brand that used to have that paint problem. It was Datsun. Rebranding to Nissan saved them in the States because Datsun's rep was so bad.
Pierce Arrows had aluminum bodies, and so far as I know they didn't have paint troubles.
Saw a Pierce-Arrow folding bicycle at my friend's house. Thinking it must be ancient and rare I googled PA and they're still in business! Btw the bike is rusty...
Tesla Model 2 target base price $25K for normal people. Testa allows you to take it home for an overnight test drive. Chinese $16K SUV Atto 3 in China, $40K in Europe.
Why purchase from people that hate us if it is that cheap car is cheap
Good point! Elon Musk and our politicians love us! Obviously.
Cars are made cheaply here too
Tariffs are what actually enforce labour and environmental laws. Without tariffs, all laws are circumvented. Ideally, a federal government is supported solely via tariffs and not income taxes, especially as it is the money left after taxes that an individual is actually willing to work for.
You didn’t mention how unions are also driving up the cost here.
Yeah. Why can't we just have prison camp labor like China? If we allow unions to apply leverage to get their members comfortable living wages, we're going to eliminate the appeal of crime for income. Sheesh. Then the cops would be out of work. Total disaster.
Negligible, when compared to the corporate greed, that is really the problem.
On a trip home from Monterey, 16 miles or so. I counted 17 Tesla cars heading to Monterey. I'm sure there is a Monterey Bay Tesla Club. I'll never join it if it exists.
I bet there's a lot of AAA garages there and they're VERY busy.
Retired now but between 2005 to 2015 the prices businesses payed for health insurance premiums went up every year and the co-pay sky rocketing no wonder manufacturing went overseas. If the federal government would fix health care across the board business will be back.
all they got to do is leave it and let the market handle it..stop subsidizing everything etc..ron paul would talk about the medical industry back before the 60s..how people never got turned away etc..government ruined it and 60 years later americans have 0 clue..
Yeah, many year's ago I worked as a salesman in a Toyota Dealership and I remember that a very young man about 23 wanted to purchase a first generation Toyota Tundra V8. He did came back to the same place 15 years later talk to me and told me I am going to pay cash for a fully loaded Tundra. I said excellent however when he saw the sticker price he almost had a heart attack. He wanted to pay a maximum of 38k but unfortunately the Tundra he specifically wanted was 77k. He was literally crying inside 😭 even though I was now promoted to sales manager I just couldn't lower the price of the Tundra he wanted I even called the owner of the dealer and asked if he could get a large discount the owner said no, no, no, we aren't a charity!! The customer walked away crying 😢 his wifecwas as mad as hell, and I quit working for that mean spirited Dealership. Point of the story is if you're saving money for a new vehicle you must triple the amount of money of what it currently cost new now in order to compete for inflationary prices in the future and an unfortunately that's a fact. 😢😂
Stelantis in USA is cooked! I'd never buy one of their vehicles. Very sad situation. My 1992 Dodge Caravan (5 speed manual) went 225,000 miles in hard service until the head gasket blew. Who would buy a new Jeep these days? Find yourself a better made 20 year old JEEP.
I bought a fully loaded factory order '24 Gladiator Rubicon X... It's a fantastic truck, so was my '21 Gladiator that had previously been a rental.
You've probably never driven one, so why should your opinion count for anything?
@kazwalker764 good luck getting your gladiator to 200,000 miles bud
Look at white Chevy vans….paint problems at Chrysler I heard was not keeping stamping dies clean and poor paint prep, that was 40+ yrs ago
I know how to fix Stelantis’s paint problems use Earl Shieb’s Diamonds Gloss enamel!
A 2018 Mazda 6 owner just had it's 6th dealership service with only 37,800 mls still running like a Swiss made Clock and looks as awesome as the day we bought it.😎
37.8k isn't even broken in yet. Lolol
@@JamesAgans 😉😂
Do chinese cars pass NHTSA safety standards? I have to wonder.
No!...not even close!!, infact, they dont even come close to international standards...HENCE, they are not able to be imported!...and Scotty is once again talking utter s...t! 😂
Yes, if they intend to bring cars here, they’ll have them pass our standards.
@@willytheekidLOL, BYD and other Chinese brands are sold in the EU which has strict standards.
@@1maico1 ...its damn easy to build cheap cars etc when you don't have to adhere to the same rules & standards as everyone else!...but its a whole different story when you enter the international market and these same rules & standards suddenly apply to you as well! (And that is the biggest hurdle presently...they ARE struggling to meet the standards, 2-3 brands have managed too...hopefully more will!)
It’s not the labor it’s the union contract benefits. Retirement, healthcare like we had in the 80’s, high wages. That’s what is killing American industry.
Inflation is corporate welfare 😮
You go Scotty, speak the truth that a lot of people don’t want to hear
- or - ignore it hoping everything will fix itself. 6:43
If you buy a Chinese vehicle, don't be surprised if the wheels fall off.
They tend to do that.
nys doesn't let homeowners sell back surplus electricity to the best of my knowledge....
Scotty seems to think this $16,000 vehicle is going to be high quality. Not sure what he's basing this on.
They sell the Chinese cars in Europe and supposedly people like them.
They make amazing egg roles
Adam Smith on Tariffs:
The second case, in which it will generally be advantageous to lay some burden upon foreign for the encouragement of domestic industry is, when some tax is imposed at home upon the produce of the latter. In this case, it does seem reasonable that an equal tax should be imposed upon the like produce of the former.
An appealing concept, and it might have some bite if tariffs were applied at the point where a product is shipped. The reality is the added cost is at the end--where the customer pays for the product, so it is the customer, not the manufacturer nor the nation in which the product is manufactured that pays the added cost.
The Chinese don’t even want to buy those cars. They have a problem of catching on fire.🔥
That is the built in campfire feature. Unfortunately it is single use only. 😉
That's an unbelievable deal for the dealerships. All that happened here is the manufacturers told the dealerships buy one get five free. None of us will ever see the savings passed down to us.
Why so many pornbots in the comments?
That's the reason they put tariffs on Japanese motorcycles years ago. HD was crying the blues....
Because......UNIONS.
I've never heard Scotty say a single positive thing about Mexico... he talks about Chinese strength but downplays Mexico ALL the time. Sum ting wong.
I don't care if it was $1600, it's CHINESE. My soul isn't for sale.
I’d just spend 1600 for a new 1 every yr.
And take a look around your house at all the Chinese products you've already invested in. 😢
The issue is you’re few and far between. Remember when Japanese cars came to America? The majority still bought them and it will be the same for China.
It will be advertised as free at the cost of free 🗽
If people know they can get a car for $16,000...they will buy it..I don't care if you like American products or not...
Wait till VEVOR starts making pickups. I won't mind mine in orange
They can sell them for 16k because they can lose money on them you're talking about a government subsidized once all the competitors are gone it'll go up to 160k. Ask the Chinese people about it.
I hope it's a 5000% tariff
I saw a Tesla on a tow truck today 😳 😅😂😅😂
All for tariffs.
They made America great once upon on time after WWII. After we got rid of them, American companies started outsourcing our jobs faster than you could say union.
I thought the headline was "New $15,000 shocks on every new car."
Wasn't surprised.
Scotty, thank you for all your information and content 🙏.
Chinese cars do suck though
Big time! Stick to making fried rice & egg rolls
I keep seeing these youtube videos about cheap vehicles, but have yet to see one come to market.
