Hey Scotty I have a question.I got a 2014 Honda Accord and the Oil consumption is very high.I called Honda and they told me to change the PCV valve which I did and it’s still the same. I heard that changing the oil from 0w to 5w helps it, is that true???
My 2004 Tahoe has more miles and no engine codes or rust👌 4.8@274k miles. Only major changes were... -water pump -spark plug & wires -suspenion maintenance
Actually, no. It is all about regulations and emissions. That is what is driving the ever more complex technology in new cars, far more than consumers.
The good thing about old cars is you can find out which ones are worth buying by reading consumer reviews and checking recalls. I love my 94 Jeep and will drive it until it's completely dead. I don't like having a perpetual car payment.
Car payments i can deal with. What i can't deal with is some computer malfunctioning, acting up, or flat out breaking. And that affecting some completely unrelated system solely because they all share the same wiring harness. as well as every computer replacement costs a small fortune.
We own 3 vehicles - the newest is 19 years old. No car payments for 15 years and my employer's car allowance covered that one. With dilgent maintenance those old cars just keep on running.
We have 3 Jeeps. I have a 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 limited. 200k miles needs a new muffler and the chain on the transfercase is stretched.. but its very reliable other than that. My other Jeep is a 90 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I daily drive this Jeep, has only 142k miles but its very very reliable. It needed alot of repairs due to 5 other previous owners and living in the rust belt. But the repairs were just typical things like wheel bearings. Radiator and simple things. Not once has it broken down on me. My moms jeep is a 98 grand cherokee 4.0 laredo.. has 334k miles daily driven by her.. original owner. The engine is clanking a little more than it used too... but thise 4.0s do tick.. other thsn that is wear items like cv joints and alternator i had to replace ect.. its driving great... She hasnt had car payments in 20 years.. she paid the vehicle off in 3 years. I am 34 and never have had a car payment my entire life... Id rather get 10-15mpg and have no car payment and no car eith a billion sensors and plastic for everything
Dear Scotty... I found your channel about six months ago and I'm hooked. I've always thought good mechanics don't get the credit they deserve. I think a good mechanic is a genius. The ability to take a motor apart and put it back together amazes me. Needless to say I'm not "mechanical," but jeeze do I ever respect you guys!
This is why I ignore my friends and family every time they say "Just get a loan and put it towards a new car, your car is too old to be reliable". Yet it still drives everyday while my friend's 06' Chevy Traverse blew the head gasket a few weeks ago, and my old roommates 2012 Suzuki Sx4's transmission went out last year. All spending hundreds if not thousands more than I did on my old car that still drives..
Been a 2007 it should have all the safety features. Wont have heads up, lane change warning, or auto breaking under 40 kph but there not the magor life savers.
I have a 2001 ford escape xlt v6. 188,000 on it and I'm the second owner .I am glad too here that they can run stong with 0ver 200,000 if taken care of properly thanks for the video.
I have the same car with similar mileage (221k). Good to see Scotty praising a decion I made. I think it's a great car and has delivered excellent value. I would love to get 300k or more. Bet it outlasts my '17 Kia Sportage. Time will tell....
What are we talking here? 80 year old cars or 40 year old cars? Most of the electronics today has nothing to do with emissions and everything to do with CAN-BUS systems and luxury electronics, LED here and there, oh and 50% or more is nanny systems to help people drive.
My family and I have had a Ford Taurus & a Mercury Sable with the 3.0 Duratec V6 engines. They both were very reliable and never gave us any issues even after about 200,000 miles. They were the last reliable V6's that Ford made that were cheap to maintain.
I drive the '03 version of this guy, looks like the same generation. My wife got it two years old when she first got her license. Minimal maintenance and the thing still runs like a champ.
1 & 2 gen escapes are amazing. My mom has a 1st and girlfriend has a 2nd. Both amazing. The 3rd and 4th are so much smaller and already having transmission issues.
The first and second generation had the V6 option. Before Ford started with the turbo crap. We have two 2nd generation both with V6. Very light car but AWD and gets over 30 mpg if you don't drive like a maniac.
@@CRAPO2011 TCM needs flashed on the 6 speed FWD Ford transmissions. Something about the shift logic puts unacceptable wear on the internals. They had some problems with the valve body too. Once the TCM is flashed they're very good transmissions.
I have a 2001 Ford Escape V6 4wd. 178K miles on it still runs great. Small things breaking here and there that I fix myself. Window motor went out on driver side just last week and the wheel bearing about a month ago. Parts are cheap, super easy to work on.
My 2007 corolla is about to hit 400,000km & my mechanic says I’ve barely scratched the surface on the engine 😂. The road to 1 million! absolute workhorse!
A 2002 Ford Escape was the first vehicle I ever purchased. My family (and mechanic) had to stage and intervention to get me to sell it. It had almost 275k on it and the biggest expense for me was having the water-pump replaced.
I drive a 2012 ford escape V6 and I like it alot because it's the last model year that they still look like a truck or a small ford explorer. After 2012 they switched them all over to look like every curvy crossover on the road. Also the electronics on the 2012 model are alot more basic , and dont have a tablet/fancy electronics. I prefer having buttons anyday over all the new electronics.
In 1983 I bought a 1957 Ford pickup used for logging in Chesapeake, VA for $600. New king pins and windows to pass inspection, new water pump. Drove it from there to Buffalo, NY. Bought a second straight six engine and had it rebuilt soup to nuts, swapped single barrel to four barrel carb. Swapped the engines, replaced floor, rebuilt the steering box, transmission, and rear axle. Replaced the clutch plate. Added fuse box and separately fused all circuits. Added a heater, gauges and seat belts later. Drove it approx 10 of the 20 years I owned it. Sold it in 2003 with its pre-1983 air shocks still working. It is still on the road today.
My Porsche Cayenne is over 17 years old now and lived its entire life in wet and salted roads in the UK, no rust on it anywhere and its never been garaged. Cost me almost nothing to run over the years! mine is the "big ol' V8"
My Escape 2002 XLT,3L is at repair shop. 278 000 miles alternator to be replaced. It is very good car. I boutht it with 130 000 miles 10 years ago and drive it +-50 miles/day. Everything works and is easy to fix beside the alternator🤣. Will drive it to the very end.
Trust me when I say the "Polite Canadian" stereotype does not come from the central provinces, it's mostly coastal. Moved from Nova Scotia to Ontario, and was pretty shocked. Even our criminals are more polite back home!
I heard the Atlantic provinces have nice people, are friendly and affordable compared to Ontario, but what about in terms of health care, education, transportation, *jobs* and weather? Please let me know, I would really appreciate it. 🙏
@@rsrs6959 Healthcare is pretty well the same across the board. The west has better public education, though post secondary just depends on what you want to learn. Transportation is better in the more densely populated cities, more common in Ontario. More jobs in central provinces across the board. Way more snow out east. There used to be more of an affordability factor between central Canada and the east coast, but it's more proportional now. Easier to move from Ontario to east coast than vice versa though.
my grandpa still drives his 2000 Nissan Almera he bought back then, still drives like a charm, still has factory parts, at least 98% of it, never had a serious problem
I'm now seriously considering buying a 2013 Honda Accord V6 Coupe. I'm sick of all this computerized turbo crap that's meant to break. All I need is AC and a backup camera.
Hey Scotty! I really love what you do and I appreciate you very much. Just thought you might appreciate the fact that my 2011 Kia Sorento v6 awd honestly just hit 420,000 on concession 4 today, on April 20, at exactly 4:20 I didn't say I was mature for my age. Keep it up at the new location. Bless.
My 99 f150 is outlasting the new trucks I laugh at that. Still original engine and transmission and rear end no burning oil 4.6l V8 140,500miles my truck is so clean and mint that I’ve gotten 6 offers to buy it from me even from mechanics no rust either. Would love to show you scotty and let you do a video on it you’d love it.
17 year old ram hemi truck I own. 205k runs great drives great. Transmission needs a freshen up when I next change fluid. It’s a little grunty when shifting and downshifting on the highway. It barely happens though and is most of the time barely noticeable. Original owner says throw in some Lucas Hard shifting fluid in it and it’ll be smoother. I’ll do that and probably just install new solenoid/ sensor anyways cause I’m going to freshen up the whole truck soon. It’s well took care of, everything works, rear fender rot has been repaired (looks like brand new now) rocker panels have been replaced. Frame had barely any surface rust on it and no cracks or holes. Solid frame. I undercoated it anyways. Being up here in the northeast everyone should get it done. Trucks fantastic.
Scotty, you should revisit some of your older customers high mileage vehicles and see where they are today. Are they still alive? How many miles did they make it to. If they finally died, what happened. It would be interesting to see.
I worked at Buick building the 3800 v6. They ran 300,000 to 400,000 miles on a regular basis . the current high rpm low cubic inch engines can't hold a candle.
Still have my 03 Lincoln Navigator. Currently replacing my whole steering and suspension front and rear. It still running as it should be. Just bought a new Avalon 2 months ago and loving it
@simba, older cars have a lot of character to. All new cars look the same. My 2012 Azera was mistaken for a new Jag which is nothing to brag about either. I don't what's worse of the two 😄
Exactly why I won’t buy newer vehicles, even though I can afford one. Currently drive a 2010 CRV and 2003 Civic Si, over half a million miles between them. No plans on replacing either one but when I do it will be with another old Honda.
My father also has a ford escape, but it is a 2008, still though has the same v6 engine and is front wheel drive. It was bought last year with just around 100,000 miles and hasn't gotten any real issues other than just changing the oil every 3,000 miles and has had the brake pads changed. Good thing I found scotty kilmers channel when we needed a better vehicle than the one we had previously. Thank you Scotty Kilmer for the car advices you give us.
I don't always drive my third gen but when I do people always stare, some honk and wave. Clean 89 Firebird Formula 350 tpi with cold ac black with ttops. She may be a little high maintenance and have a little baggage from time to time but I'll love her forever.
Well, that's strange! I had an '81 4X4 that had a vacuum problem. Each time I started it up, it would *SUCK* the money right outta my wallet! o_0 /Glad to see that ol' beater go away!
My first car was a 2005 Ford Escape with the 4 cylinder FWD. I got it with around 207,000 miles and gave it to a friend with 223,000. It was a decent car to drive during high school! Now I have a 2004 F-150 and I love it!
I paid $40 for rear shocks I paid $89 for front shocks I paid $28 for carrier bearing I paid $26 for top engine mount replace the whole exhaust from front to back for $400 did all the work myself very simple I have 278 thousand miles on it everything still works terrific
Sounds like nonsense to me. Let's wait and see. That Tundra looked beautiful and it would be shameful on Toyota if they don't take care of it. The owner is serving our country, he deserves that much and more
Perhaps contacting Toyota themselves in Japan might help as Scotty suggested. Taking care of that frame definitely won't put any dent on Toyota's bottom line. I hope it works out
Keep it up Scotty I really love your shows that you show about Auto Parts in cars you are a very educational person God bless you keep up the good work I wish more people out there would watch your show and and get to know what they're getting themselves into when they buy a new car. God bless you and your family too.
I have my 72 ford f250 with the 390 in it I love it. It's easy to work on i can sit inside the engine bay and have plenty if room to work on it. Go through gas like crazy but you cant beat the reliability easy fixes and parts are cheaper than newer cars. If course the all American steel is stronger than the Chinese steel.
I got a 1996 ford explorer and it was 1 owner (my grandparents) and the only rust is surface rust where it lived in Tennessee where it snowed really bad. It's got over 200,000 miles on it(odometer broke so we aren't completely sure). Other than a few minor things to fix like paint and stuff it still moves and grooves and the original transmission shifts better than my dad's work cars(2017 ford Escape and 2020 Chevy Colorado) and even our 124k mile 2002 Honda accord. Bout everything works fine on her that needs to work and it's more fun than some new SUV
I own a 2001 Mazda Tribute V6 and it's the same as the Ford Escape. 2001 was the first year for the Escape and Tribute. My Tribute still runs fine and everything works accept the CD player broke last year and one of the electric motors was stuck on ON and would drain the battery. The CD unit had a broken plastic gear and I couldn't repair it, so I completely removed the CD part and the radio works fine. It's been a pretty good car and parts are easy to get from the Ford dealership or your local auto parts store. It's loaded with everything including a sun roof, towing package and OEM roof rack, so I can't see trading it in and spending $40k for a new comparable Ford Escape.
I have a 95 tercel with 145,000 miles on it. It's my work car. The only problem as of late is the EGR system. Keeps popping up. I think I have it narrowed to a carbon issue with the IAC valve. Runs great other than that.
I’d love to get Scotty over here in Australia. He might even rate our old Ford Falcons above Toyota. 700,000 miles out of the good old 4.0 inline six is common 👍
I own a 2010 Corolla, got it used in 2017. The only unexpected repairs that had to be done was replacing a tire that got punctured by a nail or screw and the alternator went last year. Other than that the car is in perfect shape, it’s going to last for a very long time.
I had a 2005 as my first car, it feels so much more lighter and powerful than these New corollas. the 2005 was a Manual and it’s been everywhere like crossing states.
I got a 89 lincoln LSC that i bought for 700. Had 95,000 miles on it when I bought it 3 years ago. Now it has 136,000 dependable miles on only thing i had to do to it was change fuel pump.
A secret I found for old yellowed headlights is to rub them with Old English Furniture Oil with a rag or paper towel. You'll be amazed. Repeat once a month or as needed to keep 'em looking nice.
I own a 2008 Escape, with a 2.3L 16V 4 cylinder (Mazda engine) runs great at 110K, burns No oil. Trailer load capacity rating is the only thing.."1500 lbs". Perfect for my Inflatable w/10HP and light trailer. It's tough finding a used pre 2014 Escape..got lucky finding this beauty.
@@camryb6925 You’re right! Prior to this one, I had a 98 that I drove for 15 years, THOUGHT I wanted a newer car and bought a 2015 Altima. Sold it in less than two years and bought the 2000 with 106k miles on it for $2400. The only negative is no sunroof.
I have a 21 year old Honda Civic hathback, 1.4 liter gasoline engine, 5 speed manual, funny little suspension, what else do you honestly need? It's "sporty" enough for me but also has very good fuel economy and reliability.I love customizing it to be my little unique pride and joy, I have just replaced the steering wheel to a newer, sportier OEM Honda wheel.I also plan on installing OEM fog lights and Spoon sport mirrors sometime.The driver seat is worn so it will be overhauled in a shop to be red.Little things that make it "mine".Old cars are the best!!!
Cool Video Mr. Scotty Kilmer I've got a 2005 Ford escape used looks like this black one only mine is Gold 125k miles V6 engine been riding really good 👍
PSA: if you have one of these Gen 2 Escapes like I did , you NEEd to replace the rubber brake lines ( the little one connecting he caliper). They fail do to age. It’s not expensive . Get it done.
1992 Camry wagon, Australia auto. Engine & transmission pretty strong as far as I can tell. Transmission cooler installed 1999, for past towing purposes. As to be expected,some wear & tear here & there,& a repair, occasionally, central door lock barrels, driver's door regulator for windows crank done. No complaints in overall aggregate!
The story behind the hyundai having tech issues is the exact reason I bought a 2017 Camry SE in January.. it's a modern car with a naturally aspirated port-injected 4 cylinder with a 6 speed automatic. The only safety features it has are the backup camera, traction control and ABS. One of the newest cars you can get that's plain and simple.
Spot on, Scotty. I bought a new Escape in 2013 and took very good care of it. Transmission went out at 85,000. I got smart and bought a RAV4. Don’t have to worry about anything now.
My 73' Ford Ranchero Gt went 500k ,the C-6 transmission auto lasted 490k [without a fluid change ,front seal blew and had a rebuild done] had to sell it would not pass California emission test .Btw ,the engine was a 351 Cleveland V-8.
I have an 05 Escape with 242 on it now. Only complaint I have is no low gearing for some of the mountain trails. It does 90% of what I want it to. Took it through Moab twice now.
As a f150 ecoboost owner, I will be the first to tell you about problems. With that said, I put 190k on a 2015 2.7eco with 0 problems. Over 100k with a trailer btw. Solid truck. My 2018....... not so much lol
Had a 89 civic wagon that went to 255,000 before the transmission went. Sold it for the same $400 I bought it for with the broken transmission and the guy replaced it and is still driving it.
@@jamesmedina2062 idk why they didn’t make the wagovan again. They even came 4wd . they made the Corolla wagon again and that look pretty cool too 🤷🏽♂️
I own a 06 V6 Mariner, exact same thing as an escape just rebadged. Thing is a tank on wheels. Never had a check engine light and the maintenance is easy as could be.
I have a 2009 ford escape limited v6, I'm the 2nd owner with 161k miles, I've replaced the spark plugs on all cylinders and replaced the coil on cylinder 4, it was getting a misfire, check engine light is still coming on but driving well. I also replaced the fuel injectors.
I have a sway bar that's broken and a shock absorber that's broken on my 96 4runner, and 2 rusted holes in the frame in the back. I have been told that's it not that safe to drive but it is drivable
I have a 1992 Chevy Silverado and all of the plastic light covers were well oxidized and opaque. I tried it all...the kit, fine grit sandpaper and polishing compound, toothpaste, etc. but mine were just too far gone. I bought new covers front & rear and they make the truck look nice...and my headlights actually put out good light again...!!
My dad STILL owns his 1993 civic Ex FOR 9 YEARS He still enjoys it But of course he changed the Small carburetor engine to a D15Z7 It runs so nice. Anyway I love your videos Scotty Edit: It's about to reach 10 years now.
@@karimthecarenthusiast6007 EX was the top of the line model , maybe your in Canada different model lineup. USA spec EX models had the SOHC VTEC 4 Cylinder
@@karimthecarenthusiast6007 Intrigued me so I looked it up ,no USA spec 1992-1995 civics were carbureted all had PGM-FI. Perhaps it had a swap at some point.
Scotty I have a 2005 Mercury mariner with 385,000 miles same story hardly burns any oil only thing I ever replace was the radiator.Natural normal things like brakes tires battery but it’s been a strong vehicle.
A quiet ride ... until Scotty started gassing!. I drive a 2007 Renault Megane Estate automatic in London and I love it. I bought it on Ebay 2 year's ago for precisely £1,000. Older cars rock.
Those are awesome. I want a 90's Caprice for my first car, but I live in Michigan, so it's not practical to have. Plus, most B-body cars and Panther body cars around here have been donked.
I use to own a 2005 Mazda Tribute, the same as a Ford Escape, great vehicle, I would have still owned, but I totaled it out due to a deer. The only issue I had was my alternator, because it required to remove the front right tire, wheel well, and part of my drive shaft to remove the alternator, Also if you are looking for a used one get one with an OEM towing package because the OEM package has an oil cooler and it can tow 3500 lbs vs only 2000 lbs with an aftermarket towing package.

Scott’s thumbnails are the best “secret” on RUclips
I miss my 03 Escape. I put in a giant subwoofer that produced so much bass that it would cause the rust to fall out of the undercarriage.
I have a 2001 ford escape xlt v6. 188,000 on it and I'm the second owner .I am glad too here that they can run stong with 0ver 200,000 if taken care of properly thanks for the video.
I have the same car with similar mileage (221k). Good to see Scotty praising a decion I made. I think it's a great car and has delivered excellent value. I would love to get 300k or more. Bet it outlasts my '17 Kia Sportage. Time will tell....
Older cars aren't as computerized, less electronics to fail, including less pollution management systems.
What are we talking here? 80 year old cars or 40 year old cars? Most of the electronics today has nothing to do with emissions and everything to do with CAN-BUS systems and luxury electronics, LED here and there, oh and 50% or more is nanny systems to help people drive.
And less plastic!
AND they have CD players!

My family and I have had a Ford Taurus & a Mercury Sable with the 3.0 Duratec V6 engines. They both were very reliable and never gave us any issues even after about 200,000 miles. They were the last reliable V6's that Ford made that were cheap to maintain.
I drive the '03 version of this guy, looks like the same generation. My wife got it two years old when she first got her license. Minimal maintenance and the thing still runs like a champ.
1 & 2 gen escapes are amazing. My mom has a 1st and girlfriend has a 2nd. Both amazing. The 3rd and 4th are so much smaller and already having transmission issues.
The first and second generation had the V6 option. Before Ford started with the turbo crap. We have two 2nd generation both with V6. Very light car but AWD and gets over 30 mpg if you don't drive like a maniac.
2013 + need regular fluid changes as the GM/Ford 6 speed AT gets clunky.
@@CRAPO2011 TCM needs flashed on the 6 speed FWD Ford transmissions. Something about the shift logic puts unacceptable wear on the internals. They had some problems with the valve body too. Once the TCM is flashed they're very good transmissions.
@@OhPhuckYou driven a second gen 6F3S and it is just slow for a modern transmission, gimme ZF8 any day over it
I have a 2001 Ford Escape V6 4wd. 178K miles on it still runs great. Small things breaking here and there that I fix myself. Window motor went out on driver side just last week and the wheel bearing about a month ago. Parts are cheap, super easy to work on.
My 2007 corolla is about to hit 400,000km & my mechanic says I’ve barely scratched the surface on the engine 😂. The road to 1 million! absolute workhorse!
These old v6 escapes are really good cars, my friends dad has one with 280k miles and it’s all original.
A 2002 Ford Escape was the first vehicle I ever purchased. My family (and mechanic) had to stage and intervention to get me to sell it. It had almost 275k on it and the biggest expense for me was having the water-pump replaced.
I'll say it again: New cars you lease, old cars you buy, and classics you adopt.
I drive a 2012 ford escape V6 and I like it alot because it's the last model year that they still look like a truck or a small ford explorer. After 2012 they switched them all over to look like every curvy crossover on the road. Also the electronics on the 2012 model are alot more basic , and dont have a tablet/fancy electronics. I prefer having buttons anyday over all the new electronics.
I daily a 93 F150. I-6 5speed. Its hard to beat that old truck
Those Ford Duratec 3.0 engines are dang good motors. My 03 Taurus with Duratec has 260,000 miles.
Loved the 03 taurus i had but the body just fell apart but the engine and transmission was strong.
@@Tmax-ub5br mines a little rusty too lol. But still runs strong
In 1983 I bought a 1957 Ford pickup used for logging in Chesapeake, VA for $600. New king pins and windows to pass inspection, new water pump. Drove it from there to Buffalo, NY. Bought a second straight six engine and had it rebuilt soup to nuts, swapped single barrel to four barrel carb. Swapped the engines, replaced floor, rebuilt the steering box, transmission, and rear axle. Replaced the clutch plate. Added fuse box and separately fused all circuits. Added a heater, gauges and seat belts later. Drove it approx 10 of the 20 years I owned it. Sold it in 2003 with its pre-1983 air shocks still working. It is still on the road today.
The Last Time I was Here This Early, my 94' Celica had over 340,000 miles on the odometer.. Now it's pushing 342,000.
Be quiet
That's like making close to 200 miles a year. Such a great car 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@njad3 Make me... lol
I've been waiting forever for a Ford Escape video Scotty, Awesome! FordTechmakuloco always says the 3.0L V6 it's one of the most reliable ford engines
My Porsche Cayenne is over 17 years old now and lived its entire life in wet and salted roads in the UK, no rust on it anywhere and its never been garaged. Cost me almost nothing to run over the years! mine is the "big ol' V8"
My Escape 2002 XLT,3L is at repair shop. 278 000 miles alternator to be replaced. It is very good car. I boutht it with 130 000 miles 10 years ago and drive it +-50 miles/day. Everything works and is easy to fix beside the alternator🤣. Will drive it to the very end.
2:29 Some had column shifters which were better. My first car I drove as an 04 with the column shift.
Trust me when I say the "Polite Canadian" stereotype does not come from the central provinces, it's mostly coastal. Moved from Nova Scotia to Ontario, and was pretty shocked. Even our criminals are more polite back home!
I live in Ontario and I completely agree!
Outside the GTA is different. GTA is not much like Canada anymore
I heard the Atlantic provinces have nice people, are friendly and affordable compared to Ontario, but what about in terms of health care, education, transportation, *jobs* and weather? Please let me know, I would really appreciate it. 🙏
Generally speaking...Rural Canadians are more friendly than Urban...but on average there's an even distribution of Jerks everywhere you go🙃
@@rsrs6959 Healthcare is pretty well the same across the board. The west has better public education, though post secondary just depends on what you want to learn. Transportation is better in the more densely populated cities, more common in Ontario. More jobs in central provinces across the board. Way more snow out east. There used to be more of an affordability factor between central Canada and the east coast, but it's more proportional now. Easier to move from Ontario to east coast than vice versa though.
I have a ZJ 96 with 93,800 miles! And it runs like a million, no doubt they dont make them like back in the day...
my grandpa still drives his 2000 Nissan Almera he bought back then, still drives like a charm, still has factory parts, at least 98% of it, never had a serious problem
@@IJoeAceJRI thought so, europe only it seems. Pulsar/bluebird in some other countries, notably in japan
I'm driving a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee, drives & runs very good. Body is in better shape than a lot of the newer ones!
Bought a 02 v6 with 189k for 2700$ 10k miles later only replaced battery because it was a smaller one still running like new 💪💪
I'm now seriously considering buying a 2013 Honda Accord V6 Coupe. I'm sick of all this computerized turbo crap that's meant to break. All I need is AC and a backup camera.
Hey Scotty! I really love what you do and I appreciate you very much. Just thought you might appreciate the fact that my 2011 Kia Sorento v6 awd honestly just hit 420,000 on concession 4 today, on April 20, at exactly 4:20
I didn't say I was mature for my age. Keep it up at the new location. Bless.
Wow... I just realized I like your videos before I even watch them🤣🤣 Great job Scotty
Same
I do the same haha.
My 99 f150 is outlasting the new trucks I laugh at that. Still original engine and transmission and rear end no burning oil 4.6l V8 140,500miles my truck is so clean and mint that I’ve gotten 6 offers to buy it from me even from mechanics no rust either. Would love to show you scotty and let you do a video on it you’d love it.
17 year old ram hemi truck I own. 205k runs great drives great. Transmission needs a freshen up when I next change fluid. It’s a little grunty when shifting and downshifting on the highway. It barely happens though and is most of the time barely noticeable. Original owner says throw in some Lucas Hard shifting fluid in it and it’ll be smoother. I’ll do that and probably just install new solenoid/ sensor anyways cause I’m going to freshen up the whole truck soon. It’s well took care of, everything works, rear fender rot has been repaired (looks like brand new now) rocker panels have been replaced. Frame had barely any surface rust on it and no cracks or holes. Solid frame. I undercoated it anyways. Being up here in the northeast everyone should get it done. Trucks fantastic.
Scotty, you should revisit some of your older customers high mileage vehicles and see where they are today. Are they still alive? How many miles did they make it to. If they finally died, what happened. It would be interesting to see.
I Second this!
That would be interesting!
AGREED!!
I have honda fit 2001 model 325k millage still shift like a dream ..
I worked at Buick building the 3800 v6. They ran 300,000 to 400,000 miles on a regular basis . the current high rpm low cubic inch engines can't hold a candle.
Still have my 03 Lincoln Navigator. Currently replacing my whole steering and suspension front and rear. It still running as it should be. Just bought a new Avalon 2 months ago and loving it
Scotty has been moving his hands when he talks longer than some companies making reliable cars 😂
@simba, older cars have a lot of character to. All new cars look the same. My 2012 Azera was mistaken for a new Jag which is nothing to brag about either. I don't what's worse of the two 😄
If he has pets i feel sorry for them lol
It s much more deeper than that
I'm impressed with how well this Ford Escape is cared for.
Exactly why I won’t buy newer vehicles, even though I can afford one. Currently drive a 2010 CRV and 2003 Civic Si, over half a million miles between them. No plans on replacing either one but when I do it will be with another old Honda.
I got one, they’re fun little car. She’s never failed me and I love her
My father also has a ford escape, but it is a 2008, still though has the same v6 engine and is front wheel drive. It was bought last year with just around 100,000 miles and hasn't gotten any real issues other than just changing the oil every 3,000 miles and has had the brake pads changed. Good thing I found scotty kilmers channel when we needed a better vehicle than the one we had previously. Thank you Scotty Kilmer for the car advices you give us.
Less complicated. Looser tolerances, less power. They don't squeeze more into less space. Rear wheel drive is generally more robust.
Sounded like a hurricane was approaching Scotty! Good job you had the car to make a quick getaway!
I don't always drive my third gen
but when I do people always stare, some honk and wave. Clean 89 Firebird Formula 350 tpi with cold ac black with ttops. She may be a little high maintenance and have a little baggage from time to time but I'll love her forever.
Old cars are smiles per gallon
New cars are like :that's a nice bank account it would be ashame is someone took all your money 😂
Well, that's strange! I had an '81 4X4 that had a vacuum problem. Each time I started it up, it would *SUCK* the money right outta my wallet! o_0
/Glad to see that ol' beater go away!
Cowabunga it is...
@Jacob Del Bene For now...😆
Old cars take your money in trying to keep gas in them and new ones take your money trying to keep them running 😆
My first car was a 2005 Ford Escape with the 4 cylinder FWD. I got it with around 207,000 miles and gave it to a friend with 223,000. It was a decent car to drive during high school! Now I have a 2004 F-150 and I love it!
I paid $40 for rear shocks I paid $89 for front shocks I paid $28 for carrier bearing I paid $26 for top engine mount replace the whole exhaust from front to back for $400 did all the work myself very simple I have 278 thousand miles on it everything still works terrific
Hi Scotty. Any update on the Tundra with the rusted out frame? I hope Toyota took care of our great service member. Salute to our Military
waiting to find out, I'll keep everyone posted
Sounds like nonsense to me. Let's wait and see. That Tundra looked beautiful and it would be shameful on Toyota if they don't take care of it. The owner is serving our country, he deserves that much and more
Perhaps contacting Toyota themselves in Japan might help as Scotty suggested. Taking care of that frame definitely won't put any dent on Toyota's bottom line. I hope it works out
Big ups to Scotty for still uploading. If you aren't subbed to this channel, I suggest u do. Totally worth it.
Keep it up Scotty I really love your shows that you show about Auto Parts in cars you are a very educational person God bless you keep up the good work I wish more people out there would watch your show and and get to know what they're getting themselves into when they buy a new car. God bless you and your family too.
Hey Scotty , Hi from Liverpool UK, hope all is well in Long Island
Liverpool UK??, is Scotty the walrus?
Coo coo catchoo!
We have a few of those from 06-07 at work. They've held up better than most rigs.
I have my 72 ford f250 with the 390 in it I love it. It's easy to work on i can sit inside the engine bay and have plenty if room to work on it. Go through gas like crazy but you cant beat the reliability easy fixes and parts are cheaper than newer cars. If course the all American steel is stronger than the Chinese steel.
I got a 1996 ford explorer and it was 1 owner (my grandparents) and the only rust is surface rust where it lived in Tennessee where it snowed really bad. It's got over 200,000 miles on it(odometer broke so we aren't completely sure). Other than a few minor things to fix like paint and stuff it still moves and grooves and the original transmission shifts better than my dad's work cars(2017 ford Escape and 2020 Chevy Colorado) and even our 124k mile 2002 Honda accord. Bout everything works fine on her that needs to work and it's more fun than some new SUV
I own a 2001 Mazda Tribute V6 and it's the same as the Ford Escape. 2001 was the first year for the Escape and Tribute. My Tribute still runs fine and everything works accept the CD player broke last year and one of the electric motors was stuck on ON and would drain the battery. The CD unit had a broken plastic gear and I couldn't repair it, so I completely removed the CD part and the radio works fine. It's been a pretty good car and parts are easy to get from the Ford dealership or your local auto parts store. It's loaded with everything including a sun roof, towing package and OEM roof rack, so I can't see trading it in and spending $40k for a new comparable Ford Escape.
I got a 2011 escape with 243,000 miles still runs good
I Keep an old car around the house. Great video
I have a 95 tercel with 145,000 miles on it. It's my work car. The only problem as of late is the EGR system. Keeps popping up. I think I have it narrowed to a carbon issue with the IAC valve. Runs great other than that.
I’d love to get Scotty over here in Australia. He might even rate our old Ford Falcons above Toyota. 700,000 miles out of the good old 4.0 inline six is common 👍
I own a 2010 Corolla, got it used in 2017. The only unexpected repairs that had to be done was replacing a tire that got punctured by a nail or screw and the alternator went last year. Other than that the car is in perfect shape, it’s going to last for a very long time.
I had a 2005 as my first car, it feels so much more lighter and powerful than these New corollas. the 2005 was a Manual and it’s been everywhere like crossing states.
I got a 89 lincoln LSC that i bought for 700. Had 95,000 miles on it when I bought it 3 years ago. Now it has 136,000 dependable miles on only thing i had to do to it was change fuel pump.
A secret I found for old yellowed headlights is to rub them with Old English Furniture Oil with a rag or paper towel. You'll be amazed. Repeat once a month or as needed to keep 'em looking nice.
Or sand them with 1000 grit wet sandpaper
I use the Turtle wax headlight restore kit .
Costs about $8.oo and does lots of headlights .
I own a 2008 Escape, with a 2.3L 16V 4 cylinder (Mazda engine) runs great at 110K, burns No oil. Trailer load capacity rating is the only thing.."1500 lbs". Perfect for my Inflatable w/10HP and light trailer. It's tough finding a used pre 2014 Escape..got lucky finding this beauty.
I’m driving a 2000 Camry V6 with 128,500 miles on it. I’ll never drive a new car!
wow i just bought a 2000 Camry LE V6 with 145k miles on it, what a small world!! i had an ‘07 for a while but nothing can beat the 90s-2001 Camrys!!
@@camryb6925 You’re right! Prior to this one, I had a 98 that I drove for 15 years, THOUGHT I wanted a newer car and bought a 2015 Altima. Sold it in less than two years and bought the 2000 with 106k miles on it for $2400. The only negative is no sunroof.
I have a 21 year old Honda Civic hathback, 1.4 liter gasoline engine, 5 speed manual, funny little suspension, what else do you honestly need? It's "sporty" enough for me but also has very good fuel economy and reliability.I love customizing it to be my little unique pride and joy, I have just replaced the steering wheel to a newer, sportier OEM Honda wheel.I also plan on installing OEM fog lights and Spoon sport mirrors sometime.The driver seat is worn so it will be overhauled in a shop to be red.Little things that make it "mine".Old cars are the best!!!
Cool Video Mr. Scotty Kilmer I've got a 2005 Ford escape used looks like this black one only mine is Gold 125k miles V6 engine been riding really good 👍
PSA: if you have one of these Gen 2 Escapes like I did , you NEEd to replace the rubber brake lines ( the little one connecting he caliper). They fail do to age. It’s not expensive . Get it done.
1992 Camry wagon, Australia auto. Engine & transmission pretty strong as far as I can tell. Transmission cooler installed 1999, for past towing purposes. As to be expected,some wear & tear here & there,& a repair, occasionally, central door lock barrels, driver's door regulator for windows crank done. No complaints in overall aggregate!
Yess Scotty I live in Rhode Island as well. I love it here. But many of the daily drivers are rusted out. Great video.
I do the 3m polish kit every 2 years. Works. I should get the UV coating spay to delay the fading.
The story behind the hyundai having tech issues is the exact reason I bought a 2017 Camry SE in January.. it's a modern car with a naturally aspirated port-injected 4 cylinder with a 6 speed automatic. The only safety features it has are the backup camera, traction control and ABS. One of the newest cars you can get that's plain and simple.
Spot on, Scotty. I bought a new Escape in 2013 and took very good care of it. Transmission went out at 85,000. I got smart and bought a RAV4. Don’t have to worry about anything now.
My 73' Ford Ranchero Gt went 500k ,the C-6 transmission auto lasted 490k [without a fluid change ,front seal blew and had a rebuild done] had to sell it would not pass California emission test .Btw ,the engine was a 351 Cleveland V-8.
Should have kept it...a classic today! Big buxs!
My 2004 RSX bout to go on 250,000 miles but it still runs strong. Plan to keep this car for a long time till parts are not available for it
93 on LeSabres. Reliable as heck, and cheap enough if something big goes wrong, to just buy another used one.
I have an 05 Escape with 242 on it now. Only complaint I have is no low gearing for some of the mountain trails. It does 90% of what I want it to. Took it through Moab twice now.

As a f150 ecoboost owner, I will be the first to tell you about problems. With that said, I put 190k on a 2015 2.7eco with 0 problems. Over 100k with a trailer btw. Solid truck. My 2018....... not so much lol
Had a 89 civic wagon that went to 255,000 before the transmission went. Sold it for the same $400 I bought it for with the broken transmission and the guy replaced it and is still driving it.

@@jamesmedina2062 idk why they didn’t make the wagovan again. They even came 4wd . they made the Corolla wagon again and that look pretty cool too 🤷🏽♂️
I own a 06 V6 Mariner, exact same thing as an escape just rebadged. Thing is a tank on wheels. Never had a check engine light and the maintenance is easy as could be.
I have a 2009 ford escape limited v6, I'm the 2nd owner with 161k miles, I've replaced the spark plugs on all cylinders and replaced the coil on cylinder 4, it was getting a misfire, check engine light is still coming on but driving well. I also replaced the fuel injectors.
I have a sway bar that's broken and a shock absorber that's broken on my 96 4runner, and 2 rusted holes in the frame in the back. I have been told that's it not that safe to drive but it is drivable
A good frame shop can fix that frame .
I have a 1992 Chevy Silverado and all of the plastic light covers were well oxidized and opaque. I tried it all...the kit, fine grit sandpaper and polishing compound, toothpaste, etc. but mine were just too far gone. I bought new covers front & rear and they make the truck look nice...and my headlights actually put out good light again...!!

This is why for my first car I’m probably going to buy a 90s impala.
Those are awesome. I want a 90's Caprice for my first car, but I live in Michigan, so it's not practical to have. Plus, most B-body cars and Panther body cars around here have been donked.
I use to own a 2005 Mazda Tribute, the same as a Ford Escape, great vehicle, I would have still owned, but I totaled it out due to a deer. The only issue I had was my alternator, because it required to remove the front right tire, wheel well, and part of my drive shaft to remove the alternator, Also if you are looking for a used one get one with an OEM towing package because the OEM package has an oil cooler and it can tow 3500 lbs vs only 2000 lbs with an aftermarket towing package.
