I literally just bought a 2013 Rav4 Limited 3 days ago...with ...get ready....66k miles!! Owned by a retired couple... I traded my 2021 Corolla Le with 120k for it and a few grand. It looks brand new and drives new!! Thanks for all your advice Scotty!!!
Hey Scotty! I just wanted to say thank you for all the valuable advice and car knowledge you share with us. I’ve learned so much from your videos, and it’s helped me a lot. It's sad to see some people giving you a hard time, but know that many of us truly appreciate your passion and expertise. Keep doing what you do best!
Took your advice years ago, lucked out, and got a RX350 2014 with less than 80k. V6 Is great. The car has run great, other than tire sensors, sounds like transmission slips usually in the first couple of miles, but not enough to be annoying. Be safe, have a great week.
I have a 2022 Mazda cx-5 and love it. Gets excellent mileage, has not disappointed me at all. And it has the automatic transmission and not that cvt crap.
Recently bought from lady exactly the same one - white, Limited, with 150K, no accidents, for $15K (canadian). Looks and drives - like new! Very happy with purchase! 👍 🇨🇦 🍁
I don't know where Scotty lives where a new Rav4 Hybrid costs $56,000. I live in one of the most expensive counties in the US and there are a ton available for as low as $33,000.
Love my non-turbo 2023 CX-5 that just got to the 2-year anniversary of driving it off the lot. I am 6' and I found the CX-30 cramped. The CX-50 was unnecessarily large for my needs. So I ended up with the CX-5. In 2023 the CX-5 didn't have auto start-stop (yaaayy!). That arrived in the 2024 model year. The 2023 also had Carplay, but not wireless Carplay. Wireless Carplay and the touchscreen instead of the scroll wheel input also came in 2024.
We bought my wife’s 2008 highlander hybrid with 290k on it. We now have 405k on it. It was the last year of the 3.3 but has the newer body style. I highly suggest it.
@@1_helper-PST battery system is all original. The only thing I had to replace was the relay under the back seat between the battery system due to water getting in through the rear bumper cover.
I was going to get a RAV4 Adventure, but once I got in a 2023 prado 150 TXL, Matte Black edition, I HAD to have it! 2.7L is a little underpowered, but it is Reliable! Happy with my Toyota!
I have this scan tool. Or the slightly more vertical model. You only need to connect it to the Internet, the first time or if you are updating the software. And you do not need to really update the software after the first time unless you’re continually working on newer vehicles.
Dealerships only getaway with greed because the majority of people are buying(leasing or financing) while also complaining about how expensive it is when they know they don’t have the money. Imagine if everyone starts to boycott these dealers not just a select few but everyone!!!!
I bought My Mercury Mariner Hybrid in 2009. It is/was the Greatest SUV Ever Made. Garage kept, 84k miles, EXCELLENT CONDITION, never driven in salt, the interior smell was still brand new. On Jan 10th of this year, I was rear-ended on the hwy and lost her. I hope that if I make into Heaven, GOD flips the keys, and I drive through a perfect hwy, where everyone else knows how to drive. I miss her every day.
14 RX from new with 80k on the clock, absolutely ZERO repairs since I've had it. 45 years of driving and it's the best car I've ever owned. Also own an 18 GS with the same V-6 with no turbo's. Last cars I'll ever own.
We just got a 2017 RAV4 LE for our grandson to go back and forth to College. It had 107,000 miles and was $16,000. Not as deluxe as a Limited but it should last him for his college career.
What I've told people for a number of years now is, if you want to know what car to buy go to a used car dealer and see what cars you don't see their, like say Toyota Camry, are Chevy Impala. So pick any car you want go look and see how many there are at the used car dealerships in your city, if there's a lot of used cars like that you might not want that one? 1:10
Considering I’m more of a modern high end luxury car buyer and am willing to spend on maintenance, I would much rather a newer Lexus with 4 cylinder hybrid with the later generation of hybrid (4th gen hybrid system is soooo good) assuming budget permits As a majority of reviews and my experience test driving them has stated, the hybrid 4’s in the 4th and 5th gen hybrid system with inline 4s are smoother and quieter than the V6, with no noticeable transition from electric to petrol engine. Yes they are slower, but speed is not why you buy a Lexus
I disagree with Scotty’s love of cloth seats, they are horrible. If you fart in the car, it gets trapped in the seat for like three hours, and who doesn’t fart in the car.
If Yugo had survived and was still importing cars I can only imagine how flamboyantly craptastic a Yugo SUV would be. It would be so bad that its faults might even become somewhat charming. Kind of like the Family Truckster. That car was so ugly it was actually kind of cool.
Wait, this guy paid $14k for a 10 yo RAV4 with 160k miles? That’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. Why on earth would you do that? Buy like a 3 yo Subaru crosstrek w 30k miles instead.
Not sure where to ask you a question so I'll try here. I have a 2018 F150 with V8/10. It has the stupid shut off at traffic light. #1 when were on a long highway trip and finally stop at a light the engine doesn't to restart easily sometimes i have to turn it off for 10 seconds then it starts. It almost never has the issue in town. I had replaced the battery with no change. #2 What is the best/easiest way to disable it?
I think for that gen, the start/stop disable is buried somewhere deep within the settings menu. You might try looking at your manual or searching a forum for specifics.
Bought a 2015 AWD Rav4 for $11k, 165k miles. Needed new key fob with programming, dealer made good on that. TPMS warning light stays on, I'll ignore that. Great ride otherwise!
Putting winter tires on just the front is terrible advice! You don't want a huge variance in grip between your front and rear tires, especially in the winter. Having significantly more grip on your front tires puts your vehicle into a dangerous oversteer scenario where you will loose grip to your rear tires first and can put your vehicle into a spin. Always do all 4 tires and remember to rotate your tires regularly so your tire tread is even between front and back. I change my tires in the spring and fall and use a tire chaulk to mark which wheel they come off so I can rotate them the next time I swap them.
Lol people with cell phone nav get lost around me all the time. I am in a cell dead zone. They only work up near the interstate. Its comical, they stop in at the groceries/ gas station, bar, and ask for directions.
Then it's a Lexus ES300h (hybrid) for the win. I have one (2023 Ultra Luxury Edition) and it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. It's a sleeper for a luxury vehicle.
Its funny how scotty films himself speeding in every vehicle. I wonder if his videos can be used against him in a court of law. Think of the millions of $ in tickets Tennessee and RI can collect

@@markg999 And both of our CX-5s are made in Japan unlike the CX-50 (Alabama) and some of the CX-30s (Mexico, Thailand, and Japan).

I got a cx-5 with a turbo, I believe it will go the distance, have a long life. Volvo XC-70s I6s have turbos and easily get 300k miles on them
That's a beautiful CX30 especially the interior 😍 👌
I live in Japan, CX-30 is a middle sized SUV here, not some ‘giant’ things.
Road in Japan is narrow and curved, small cars have many advantages.
The red colour that Mazda use on their modern cars is stunning

Just goes to show you. If mazda can make a good quality, reliable car without greedily price gouging you.... so can all the other auto makers.
The older CRVs with the naturally aspirated engines are great

Is it really that bad? I was thinking to buy 😅one
Mazda is making a nice cars now.
THANK YOU! I just asked this question!
Just bought a CX-9. Wish it had better mpg (22-28), but otherwise a nice vehicle. Hopefully it will last nice long time.

No “Rev up your engines!”? :(
The best solution for less fuel cost is manual transmission. Stay away from fuel cell cars. Some older cars can go forever with a manual transmission.
Not sure where to ask you a question so I'll try here.
I have a 2018 F150 with V8/10. It has the stupid shut off at traffic light.
#1 when were on a long highway trip and finally stop at a light the engine doesn't to restart easily sometimes i have to turn it off for 10 seconds then it starts. It almost never has the issue in town. I had replaced the battery with no change.
#2 What is the best/easiest way to disable it?
Usually a button on the dash somewhere to turn it off but you have to do it every time you start the car.
I think for that gen, the start/stop disable is buried somewhere deep within the settings menu. You might try looking at your manual or searching a forum for specifics.

Blame the greed that dealership did to make the prices so unobtainable.

Why do I hear Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia giving me car advice?
You need your hearing checked scotty. I heard the brake grabbing before you brought out your listening tool
yes, Scotty I would.
No. I don't want any SUV. I just want a good sedan, possibly a coupe. Cheaper on insurance to.
Then it's a Lexus ES300h (hybrid) for the win. I have one (2023 Ultra Luxury Edition) and it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. It's a sleeper for a luxury vehicle.
ES 350 is pretty solid.
Not as safe if in a collision with all the big trucks on road today
I would have a brake job on the Lexus, but a great, beautiful car
Hello and thanks for the advice
160k miles? Yes, all day long. $14k? Oh heck no! That's too much, a quick peak on market place I found a dozen better deals than that.
Scotty says buy a Rav4??? No way!!!!!!!!
14k for that rav4 is too high.
You mentioned TWO Toyotas, but not HONDA
car tax 2.5 vs Hybrid: €300 vs €50
No 4Runner Scotty??
Excellent advice
I'll never buy a soccer mom SUV no matter who makes it. Give me back my 4 door sedans.
Everybody I know is killing it! High prices is called capitalism
Looking at rav 4 2018-2021
Its funny how scotty films himself speeding in every vehicle. I wonder if his videos can be used against him in a court of law. Think of the millions of $ in tickets Tennessee and RI can collect
