Hey Scotty! Would you donate to me one of those reliable cars you be buying? I bought a Volvo for my work but unfortunately $5,000 later I had to give up on it and junk it! Didn’t even get to drive it for a month without fixing it every other day!
I was lucky enough to get a 14 2.4 sxt blacktop that was like this car by Chrysler llc, mine was made 2/14, mine has 82k on it with no issues always take care of the car’s maintenance. Hope it keeps taking care of me. I’ve just had minor issues like the camera lol. Thank you for the video
The planets must have lined up that day when this was made.
lol my mothers in her 60's and has one with the Turbo engine, its actually not as bad as people might think. Its really never had any issues other than oil blow by with the turbo. Otherwise, still gets 45mpg on the highway, and mid 30's around town.
"Decent styling going on",
That was always Chrysler's strong point. And probably how they sold their cars.
More horsepower or else lower price, or both, compared to a competitor's car from a reliable brand
Dart it's based on fiat chassis...i dont know how it's possible is USA the vw, bmw, fiat are very unriable
Here in italy and Europe in general we dont have so much problems
Or it’s literally because not everyone is looking for reliability in a car…
@@jackpez right lol I just want a V8 sports car
Styling and price
Whoever owns a Dodge Dart with 300,000 miles on it needs to buy a Powerball ticket. GOOD AFTERNOON SCOTTY!!
😆 i knew guy over 400k on knocking caravan
My Neon is only 40k away from 300,000 lol not that rare.
I had a friend with a neon that almost reached 300k original engine and tyranny. I have a dart with almost 130k no problems besides a battery and cv axle so far. I use copper plugs and it has pretty good response 👍
I'm praying that our endless money pit Dodge Avenger will at least make it to 150k miles. 🙏🏽 God is a miracle worker! But you know what I have learned about cars in general? They are all endless money pits when you are driving on the road with a bunch of uninsured, bad drivers with no routine maintenance being done to their cars!
All of my "good cars" have been involved in car accidents that were not my fault and the drivers are ALWAYS uninsured. A girl crashed into my car earlier this week, didn't have insurance and she admitted her brakes had been failing for awhile, but she just been putting off getting them fixed.
Surprisingly, that little raggedy Dodge Avenger we have seems to avoid car accidents that would cause my insurance to total the car out, so I can rid myself of this liability once and for all.. 😩
Hey Scotty i have a Dodge Stratus 2000 4cyl 2.4 eng with 350,000 original miles,runs perfect I love it,I change the oil every 3000 miles clean or dirty it doesn't matter I use Castrol 20w50. No problems at all
I had a Dodge once. It had 100,000 miles, 75,000 under its own power and another 25,000 behind tow trucks.
So it lasted 175k miles?
Not bad
@@cwbusrides He’s saying 75,000 of that 100k was driven and the rest was miles from being towed meaning it’s garbage
Good one
Who tows a car for 25k miles?
I bought a ‘99 Dodge Ram 2500 with 68,000 miles in 2001. I sold it a few months ago and watched it drive away with 385,000 miles on it..it had a 5.9 gas engine , and I drove it from Florida to Utah, Arizona , Nevada and back to Florida then to Texas and all I ever had to do was replace the water pump once and also replace the radiator . Everything else worked fine., I drove that truck for 20 years . And looked as good the day I sold it as it did when I bought it, with the exception of the crumbling dash board . And I pull a 6x12 cargo trailer with it many times fully loaded from my auction buys. And I still see it around town driving and looking good.,
Those old magnums just run forever so I'm not surprised unlike these HEMeroidIS
Wow
@@elihernandez330 I'm surprised you got those many miles on the transmission. They usually go out before the engine does. Even if you regularly change the transmission fluid and filter. Every 50,000 miles.
“Forever in my mind my truck stays near me “lol
@@curtisstewart9426 I had a friend who got over 200k. i believe he said 213k to be exact out of his original 01 ram transmission and he did change the fluid like every 40k tops and I thought he was nuts but I now see it was for the best. But yeah those old chrysler transmission are jello.
A DODGE with 300,000 miles?!?! I might faint! Lol
the older dodge neons were reliable
I have a 2007 jeep patriot. 205k miles and still going strong. Mind you it's the original patriot
I never get less than 200k on my Chrysler products its all i buy
Any American car with over 100k is on borrowed time. All American cars suck
@@aa777flyer truthfully that all depends. If you are going to buy a car nowadays you better know what's under the hood. Some of those engines can last forever if you do your oil changes.
Scotty's mid phase hairline is more reliable than Fiat Chrysler
lmao
Yesss I love that
I think id shave my head at this point 😆
@@captainobvious5993 why not get transplants
What can he say, scottys over 2 mil miles but still running like his celica
Al Bundy's Dodge got over 1 million miles.
🤣🤣🤣
Shoe salesman
Gotta love AL bundy
Loved when he asked for like a dollar of gas and the attendent dipped his finger in the nozzle and flicked it towards the tank
LOL, was just watching Al on DVD. One of the funniest shows on TV.
I've got a 2013 with 74k. It runs like a champ. Sits in garage in winter, oil changed before schedule, very clean car. only put 750 bucks into it for valve cover and ignition coil replaced. Works for me......
"The guy takes care of it and drives conservatively." Ol' Leadfoot Scotty goes ripping through the twisties.
HEY SCOTTY! We’ve been trying to reach you about an extended warranty on your 1996 Toyota Celica. Hurry up! Offer ends soon.
1994
This is a one in a million.
Scotty is in the owners driveway, I assume. Imagine driving in your neighborhood and seeing Scotty in a driveway talking to his camera. I think I’d stop for an autograph
He's at his son's house in Tennessee
I have a 2008 Dodge Caravan SXT 4.0 with 300,200 miles as of today (9-2-21). Still going strong so far 👊🏽🙏🏾
I had a 2005 280.000
We own an 06 SXT 3.6 with 192,780 miles. We bought her brand new and keep up on the maintenance.
how's that car goin now?
@@DubLL still going strong. thanks for asking. 09-18-22
@@jaywholoveseveryone1721 that's great to hear! ive heard it's been on and off with dodges; i had just picked up a dodge dart SXT 2016 with 163k miles on it, so i've been trying to get some more knowledge off of dodge engines. i appreciate the update man!
Scotty takes the 303,000 mile Dart out on a romp.
Guy states later, "Gee, it's leaking and burning oil now and there's a strange clunking noise coming from the engine. It never did that before."
Love Scotty's channel. It's actually educational, vs the scores of "This car has been sitting for 6,000 years. Will it run and drive" channels. Keep up the great videos!
I love these needle in the hay stack finds, I used to restore old Chryslers and Dodges but now a days not sure. I had an 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger, that car could do everything, 140+ and great gas mileage when just regular driving. One day coming home from work a young lady ran a stop sign and that was the end of my car, haven't been able to find another one. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
sorry to hear that, same thing happened to me with my 2002 Century custom. i was just going to ihops when some guy blind sided me. she had 155+ and still ran like new. i loved that car. now i have a 2000 Camry with 127000 on it
My dads 99’ Dodge Durango lasted till 280,00 miles before he decided to get a new car
Made before Fiat and Mercedes
@@cwbusrides Mercedes actually made some Dodge vehicles better like Jeep etc
I mean back then the quality and reliability from American manufacturers was great, not anymore tho. They don’t make them like they used to do so it makes sense that old school American cars would last a while
Loved the looks and reliability of the 199-2002 durangos they were great vehicles. Hell Id consider a 99 over any newer durango stylewise and reliability wise
@@jeffreymanier0 And 2003
LOL!!! Scotty is a lead foot. He loves flooring everything he test drives 😅
And, who doesn't?
you need to floor it to diagnose it properly...
Especially this case by someone who never drives hard it helps clear it out so it can run a little better.
Now that Scotty's in Tennessee you can hear different cicadas in the background. The cicadas in Texas were a different species.
Are cicadas make a commercial echo weed eater sound quiet 🤣
I thought they were only every 7 years
@@kevinmontgomery1383 I think there are annual species too in most places in North America.
Same cicadas here in Alabama as well haha.
This has to be a record for any Dodge/Chrysler product produced after 1970!! Somebody call the Guinness Book of Records!!
My dad has a 04’ Dodge Caravan with 261,000 miles strong, original tranny and engine… and honestly, that minivan drives smooth as hell. Good as it sounds, i’ll just stick to my 03’ Toyota Camry with 206,500 miles and still going strong :)
This car is a freak of nature. I would imagine that about 90% of that is highway miles. It just has to be. I think that's the only way that transmission would have held out even half that long. Dodge/Chrysler used to make at least decent cars and trucks a long time ago but now I wouldn't touch one.
I don't really like dodge that much, but I've had some dodges w over 200k , my Durango SLT had 252k ,and the person I sold it to still has it, running
My 2014 Dart Sxt Rallye has 140k and I do doordash and ubereats and it constantly idles and it's original engine and transmission. You do your oil changes and take care of it you can get that kinda mileage.
I’m gonna be honest, I got a dodge dart and I will say it is one beast of a car, if you take good care of it and make sure u do the right maintenance and don’t drive it like a maniac it will treat you good, mine has 220,000 miles on it and I haven’t had to do much major repairs on it , just mainly small repairs
Like what i also have one at about 125kmiles looking for tips for longer life
The Devil's calling Scotty. Hell has just frozen over.
Hell froze over is good, not so hot down there anymore.
They must've had a good employee build that one!
On Monday
@@kclefthanded427 For real, Monday and Tuesday are usually the less busier days.
The pepperoni steering wheel when Scotty mentioned Italian was hilarious 🤣
When ever Scotty does his speed acceleration test with and older or high mileage car, I always pray the engine or transmission doesn’t just blow up right there on the spot 🤣
I pray for the opposite...
@@stillnotwoke lol, put it out of its misery. If it did, it’d be great content for Scotty!!
I don’t think he’s test them like that if he didn’t know the condition prior.
So what? You think Scotty wouldn't fix it if it happened? And do you think he doesn't pay attention to how it runs and shifts on his way to that street he does it on?
This makes me feel a little better, someone talked me into buying a $3k 2007 charger 6cyl 2.7L 200k and they swear it’s a great vehicle, but every dollar invested, the pucker factor is at a 9.9 lol
When Diemler owned Dodge I believe they made a decent product. I own a 2008 4.7 Durango body on a nice frame. everything went wrong exactly when Scotty said they would. Tune ups, you do have 16 spark plugs... It has four regular shocks... Good basic brakes abs. A regular water pump once you understand easy to replace. Fuel pump went out about 150K, pump cost $400 replaced it my self and rested gage my self. Everything is accessable great truck to work on.
i know it will kill scotty ....but just admit that dart has mercedes DNA in it
I had a 2006 Dodge Stratus that had nearly 350K and still ran like the day I bought it used with 35K on it. I'd still be driving it, but a crazy driver got it into an accident and totaled it. Even in its death, it protected us, and it served us with distinction for 13 years.
Glad everyone was ok
My 2001 maxima 20th anniversary is pushing 213000 miles . I keep up with oil spark plugs battery alternator all the good stuff if I keep taking care of it can I get it to last atleast 270k anyone have any tips . No leaks still rides smooth
@@jdsjds7935 Just keep up with routine maintenance, Nissans were built far better in 2001 than they are today.
@@AK-rq1cz I changed battery alternator oil spark plugs brakes. I’m more concerned about my ball joints and axles. It still rides very smooth. I had a Honda one time snap the cv axle on the road before I’m just paranoid. When I get my work check I’ll have firestone give me a line of credit to eventually put new ones. U think I can atleast get 280k out of it if I keep putting more stuff
The 2.4 MultiAir is still the same even to this day depending on model that'll come with ESS, and the platform is based on the Alfa Romeo Gulietta. So this car is still a tweener of American design powertrian, with Fiat's chassis and MultiAir2 added to the 2.4.
Thx. I mean when I read "Multiair" and Scotty said "It has nothing to do with Fiat". I knew that in this case it wasn't right.
I own a 2015 Dart 2.4 sxt with 113k and got it at 60k. The only issue I've ever had is the trunk release wasn't working electronically. It's fun to drive and this gives me hope that if I take care of it properly I might get to 200k... hopefully hahaha
How's your dart running 2 years later? I have the same one 2015 2.4l sxt with 115k and I want to push mine 200k miles 😂
@@xlazeryt2376 I actually ended up selling it at about 145k . Still ran just fine I just got a newer car! I do miss that Dart though. Honestly for how unreliable dodge is known to be with some cars mine never left me stranded once besides the battery dying! Had it for like 7 years no major repairs in that time.
Look closely: that is actually a Toyota Corolla with a Dodge badge on it.
I have a 2014 Dart, made by Chrysler LLC, with a 2.4L engine. I bought it in 2017 with 28,000 miles. Still own today, has 123,000 miles and climbing...still works great! Aside from basic maintenance, it has given me NO problem at all. I plan on running it until I get my Bronco later on this year
I have the 2016 60k no priblems
Holy smokes! $7k for a dodge with 180k miles, what a gambler!
I have a 2015 dart, beat the absolute crap out of it every day and it has only had 1 VERY SMALL issue. Never left me stranded. Also have a buddy who has a 2013 1.4 turbo. Has 317k miles on it. Original engine, clutch, and trans. He did replace the turbo though which was $1000 or so
That's impressive. I was going to buy a 60K mile 2014 Dart with the 1.4 and 6 speed manual 2 years ago. It was fully loaded but I was a little scared about some horror stories people tell about the 1.4 and the car was 300 miles away from me so I didn't bid higher on the auction.
Too bad, it may have ended up being a good buy
A client I had a few years ago had a 350k mile 2014 Dodge Dart!!! He drove up to 600 miles a day and never had too major issues!! Surprised me.
Remember guys don’t rev up your engines if you have aftermarket parts installed, only do it if your car is stock
The Dodge Dart was discontinued in 2016 due to poor sales. Chrysler doesn't offer small cars in the USA anymore as they are focused on trucks and suv/crossovers
That's shocking. The longest running Dodge I've encountered was a coworker's Neon that was literally held together with a yellow safety chain and padlock wrapped through the front end. The second is my brother's used Hemi Magnum. Good thing he's a mechanic.
🤣🤣
Scotty just jinxed this guy. The car engine will seize up next month.
I work in s junk yard. We had a 98 honda accord drove in with a rod knock, it had 472k miles on it and still driveable.
My wife and I had a 2001 Toyota echo with 496,xxx miles on it! Still ran strong just upgraded!
Revvin up my 94 celica!
I have a 2014 dodge dart Gt. 2.4L it has 170,150 miles. I just changed out the Coil pack and now it’s running good. I bought it in 2016 had 25,000 miles. I love my dart
My 07 Charger 3.5L with over 200k miles is in better running condition than my sister 03 Toyota Camry with roughly 160k miles. Difference is I maintain my cars. People need to stop riding on brand names for longevity.
I got a 09 300 with the 3.5L and I have 231,000 miles. Still runs smooth and I use full synthetic oil
Yes, maintenance is the most important factor in longevity.
It's a mixture of both but some vehicles have strict maintenance and some don't
if you both didnt maintain vehicles, whose car would be worse off?
@@ronde1135 It's a moot question. Any car with zero maintenance is going to be a piece of crap.
Had Infiniti 2004 G35x with 210k for 10 years and Only thing needed to be replace was a fan belt! It was running strong and perfect most reliable car ever owned!
My Daimler-era 2001 Sebring didn't even make it to 78,000 miles..
Mines got 250k and runs beautiful with its original power train AND it’s FCA built and it’s been great
The old slant 6, back in the 70's and early 80's, it was common for them to go 300k. Here in Maine, you had to hurry because they would rust out before you could get your 300k. The old 318 was not far behind in the 300k race. When Crysler stopped making those 2 engines, it was all over for them as far as engine reliability. The automatic tranny's would not hold up to a high school boy though.
You got it exactly right .
I miss my 80' aspen. For a six she moved....
I am driving a 1992 GMC Sierra that I bought new that has almost 395,000 on the original 305 CID V8 engine with 5-speed manual transmission.
GMT400s are beasts!
Those trucks are built like tanks. Super reliable
Wow, guess I won't sell my 95 s10 5 speed manual, 4 cyl no more. Hopefully I can reach that many miles.
Scotty pushing that mans Dart to the limit lol
Dodge Dart survives 300,000 miles. Scotty puts it in warp drive on a country road and KABOOM, no more Dart! 🪄
Since the car was driven around 38K a year.. Most likely all the miles were highway miles, they are easy on cars. Any car would last that long with just routine maintenance.
Now I’m pushing the stratus to 300000 doing those ball joints and suspension work gosh darn you Scotty
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the Wool-o and get all schmoked up
Well Scott I had a Dodge that I put 675,000 miles on
5.2 in a 94 full size conversion van
Wow! A Dodge car that Scotty said he approved of. Glad he made a video of it for reference 😄
Scotty drove that harder then the owner by long shot! Insane its over 300k. Wowza!
My 2006 Charger, with the 3.5L, has 307K + miles, and runs fine. I had a 2000 Sirius, that had a 2.5L V6. After I traded that in, I realized how rare that 2.5L V6 was. Because others 2.5's were online 4.
That's a Dodge 2.4L engine and a Hyundai 6-speed Auto. Good combo.
I gotta admit my mind has also been blown Scotty....never seen one last that long with original everything like that.
I have 2014 Dodge Journey 2.4, I only changed the thermostat and alternator it now has 294.000 miles and I always do all the maintenance,the transmission is still good .I can’t complain
Back in the 80s my parents had the original Dart with a slant 6. Us kids hated being seen it. I learned to drive with that 3 in the tree shifter. But my Dad DROVE that car to the wrecker. Engine wouldn't quit.
I had a '83 Duster with the 225 slant six and a three speed on the floor. Loved that car. 4-wheel drums and no power steering. LOL
The slant six engines always lasted longer then the bodies of the vehicles they were put in. I had one in a pickup and it ran forever.
My 2014 Ram 1500 Sport Crew 4x4 is from that same era. Chrysler LLC is on the build plate. Bought it new. Currently has 153k miles, and still has the original brake pads & rotors, plus the original battery. Aside from normal maintenance I’ve needed a RF wheel bearing and a heater diverter switch. That’s it. And the 5.7 Hemi still pulls 20+ MPG without even trying. It’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned by a large margin. None of the GM or Ford trucks I’ve owned can come anywhere close.
Hey, watch it bub. My pt had 275k when I sold it. Original power train never a service outside of regular maintenance. 😆
I can confirm. I have a 2014 dodge dart. It is by far the best year. 111,000 miles on it. Original engine and transmission. Just replaced the water pump and timing belt. I'll probably get another 90k out of it before I sell it. Edit: I have the 1.4L Turbo.
Update: Transmission crapped out at about 130k. 7k to repair (ouch) but it's bought and paid for. Put a new transmission in it and replaced the coils. Runs good. Over revs sometimes (can't figure out why) but I drive like a grandma most days and don't bring it past 4th gear.
My 09 Mazda 5 has only 446,000 on it 😜😜 , had it almost 5 1/2 yrs , daily driver since I'm a courier , original engine bought with 106,000 , rebuilt the trans at 323k , using full synthetic oil since I bought it , plus still getting great mpg 38.5 yesterday & 42 for the 1st time a week or so ago , I'm in Ohio
I bought a 2013 Dart Limited 1.4l manual transmission with 107,645 miles, despite the engine and transmission mileage they work well, it is clear that I do not drive it like a maniac in Nascar, I do its oil change every 5k miles and in this time the only ones 2 codes that appeared were the P2096 that according to me is not something that in this 4-cylinder engine and the other code P0140 the downstream oxygen sensor had to be replaced, I think that not all the products are bad and if some are sensitive but who He drives it, he drives it like a fast and furious one, of course he will not resist, I plan to have this car for a very good time and I am happy with the purchase despite what is said about it.
That Dart needs to be in a museum.
Hey Scottie I got a used 2013 Dodge Caravan SXT with 265,000 miles. I bought it in 2019 with 150,000 miles.
I can't pay attention with all those cicadas in the background lol
I have one of these with 104,000 on it. I Bought it before I started watching your videos, but now I'm feeling a little better about my purchase.
Same here! I almost didn't look up to see if he made a video about it because I was afraid of what he would say. 😅
Have a 2015 Dart 2.4 and I love it. Its at about 140k and still running strong.
My 1st car was a 1988 Dodge Colt Wagon 5 speed AWD and it got up to 275k ish. My current is a 93 mercury tracer still going at 180k miles.
My 1999 ram 2500 had 270k on it when I traded it in for my 2010 ram that now has 173k on it
Anyone who even owns a Dodge Dart should be rewarded
I got a Dart love it great gas mileage with a 2.0 auto. You wouldn't believe how nice they are on the highway and quiet.
I have a dart with 80k miles on it and it gets absolutely beat to death every day and it has only ever had 1 very small issue.
Im glad to hear good stories, i get 23mpg and i have 60k on my 2015 tho ☹
I've got a 1.4 with 157k. The award is a guillotine treatment I hope.
My 2009 Dodge Journey has 305,000 miles and still going strong
Scotty, my girlfriend bought a 2014 dart with 55k miles for $10,000 and within 2 months the transmission had to be rebuilt costing her $7000. I tried to tell her to take it elsewhere to have fixed but she didn’t listen.
He keeps stressing "oil changes"... But you really have to find a mechanic you can trust, otherwise you will "need something" whether you do or not every time you do an oil change. And beware of 'sabotage'.
I’d rather have a slant-6 from the 1960’s or 70’s.
I own a 96 Chrysler Concorde 3.3 with 190k miles and a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9 with 150k miles. Both vehicles are still running strong, of course these were during Daimler owned Chrysler, so better quality than what Chrysler is now.
In Saudi we start to use the dodeg 2.4 engine in hyundai sonata and Kia optima .
Hyundai and Kia 2.4 engine has prablom with the oil pump.
The 2.0 dart with the 6 speed auto is really reliable there's a lot of the forum with 200k+ miles . The bad ones are the other ones
I have a 2013 1.4L, had to replace the DCT, thankfully the extended warranty took most of the brunt. I use it in auto shift because the gearbox is literally dangerous otherwise.
Love the car, superb amounts of FUN ! Scotty is right, need to take care of the baby to make her last. It currently has 86,000 miles, I dont think It'll go 300,000 lol :fingerscrosed:
Grab the Eurocompulsion tuning
Interesting.
But I don't think that should change anyone's opinion of Dodge/Chrysler
You are honest that's why i respect you and enjoy your content
The combination of Fiat and Chrysler is one of the most terrifying things I've ever heard.
I have a '97 Dodge Stratus that has about 350k miles with a 4 cyl 2.0 Mitsubishi engine and manual transmision, still runs
speaking of Toyota, they sold their 50 millionth Corolla after 55 years of production
50% of them are probably still drivable xD
But no joke i still see 2002 corollas and old cressidas still driving around in my country.
my 06 Jeep TJ is still going strong at 27,000 miles! always keep the honda as a backup
What about a 2013 Dodge Dart with a 140k miles Hail damage? 2.0 l engine..It is a good car to buy..?
_Al Bundy has entered the chat_
you know scotty always says dodge dart
was a piece of junk
regardless when it was made
now he finds one thats a good one
2013 Ram 1500. Chrysler Group LLC. changed water pump and plugs around 120k miles, and pads/rotors at 150k. could've resurfaced but got a great deal on brake pkg. 177k miles on it now
Owning a Chrysler product is like playing a game of Russian Roulette. You either get a car that runs flawlessly and never has issues or it ends up being a total moneypit. The fact this one has 300k miles on its original engine and auto trans is absolutely mind blowing! The 2.4 is used on many other FCA models, so it must be quite peppy in the Dart.
I have a 2013 dodge dart limited 2.0with 254,000 trouble free miles and gets 41 mpg. It's been a great car and still going
I also have a 2003 ram 5.7 hemi 1500 4x4 215,000 trouble free miles
It's the opposite of a lemon.
