@scottykilmer - does it have a timing chain or timing belt & when should it be changed - at what mileage??
🤔💭 Nissan Maximas
🎉I can make one get
100 mpg
🎉I can make one get
100 mpg
Please get your hands on an 01 Nissan Pathfinder....
Our 2003 Honda Accord has 1,034,761 on it.
It's still being used almost daily.
My parents have had their 2001 Toyota 4Runner for over 23 years now and still going strong. They also own a Camry 1999, can't deny these are great cars.
Amen + Amen !!! ! !!! 😀
golden era of toyota's. The modern ones w the turbos cant compare.
Oh yeah.. I’m still driving my 2008. Toyota Camry. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it… still running strong !!!!
@@harveyhankerson8359
Wow, that’s 640,000km, excellent, is your Camry still on its original engine and transmission?
3rd gen best gen 💪
My brother in law is retired engineer. He is very smart and humble. They saved and invested and is financially set. Has two cars, a new lexus ES and a 1994 Toyota Camry he bought super used for $3,000. He actually spent $1,200 for a recent paint job. Cracks me up that the camry is his preferred vehicle to run around town and everywhere with (400,000 miles with a trunk full of tools just in case to fix stuff). The safer and more fuel efficient Lexus is mainly for Church and looking clean trips.
LOL!
that’s how it’s supposed to be having a daily & a weekend car…..
@@jalenb23one good car is fine for many people
Smart brother-in-law.
thats crazy he needs to get rid of that camry
0:00 xterra
7:17 4-runner
17:16 camry
Thank you
I really want a 3rd generation 4 runner 😭
@Maxjuliann back when they were reliable and didn't cost an arm and a leg
I wouldn't mind having either one of those vehicles
@@woodjunkjrjr2689what? Why? Who wants that? Are you talking about the current charger?
My dad put 439k on his 1998 Toyota Corolla. A massive tree fell on it during a snow storm and it was completely totaled. Despite the tree pretty much splitting the car in half- the engine still started before they towed it away
The metal frames for older vehicles are just built differently from new ones! Daz why
I'd bought that high mileage motor
My Lexus ES 330 2004 - has 369,000 miles and is driving like a dream- everything is working perfectly
Same with my 96 Lexus es300 over 250,000 miles on it still driving like a champ 🎉💯‼️
Dad used to drive old Buicks with the 3800 engines. They didnt get good gas mileage but were super reliable. He now drives a 25 year old Olds also with V6. Still runs fantastic!
Yes we had a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix with the 3800 engine, gas mpg was good at 24 city & 30 highway, great riding reliable vehicles
Except for transmission but them engines are absolute tanks
My dad still drives a 92 park Avenue 3.8 with the supercharger. He has 3 spare superchargers in his garage to switch them out cuz the engine will go forever otherwise.
We had two Pontiacs with the 3800. They both got 28 mpg and up on the road 18 in mixed driving. The transmission on both went out and would cost more than the cars value to repair. If I could find any GM product with 3.8 in it I would buy it.
I had one of those transverse V6's myself. Ran forever.
Don’t ever change Scotty! You are the man on cars brother
I've had my 2003 VW GTI VR6 for 22 and a half years so far (original owner, purchased October 2002 new), with NO major issues! This German panzer tank of a car has been my daily driver all these years, and i'm shocked at it's reliability! Still has the original timing chains too, and the engine purrs! The 2.8L naturally aspirated 24v VR6 has to be VW's best engine ever made, when it comes to reliability!
That 1993 Camry's AC system probably uses R12. Those old R12 systems were fantastic! Meat locker cold!
We have a 1998 4-runner and it is still running fine with about 200,000 miles on it. Everything still works on it and it still looks so good we have had people roll their windows down at a stop sign to say how great the ‘98 4 runner still looks.
Even that pesky clock?
My 1998 no rust Sienna runs soo well that I just replaced weeping engine oil seals timing belt, tensioner, cam seals, waterpump and gasketing. I bought my Scooby van 8yrs ago will my last $2k to make due and ended up slowly DIY mechanically restoring it, with disabilities. Any repairs I put into my van has paid me back ten fold with astonishing reliability.
2000 Toyota Camry here. 200k miles. The thing has overheated once with a blown hose on the interstate and it still rocks solid after a hose replacement. I love the old Camrys. Super reliable. Great on gas. Comfortable and easy to drive.
I got a 96 Camry and I wouldn’t change it for anything I love that car
I daily drive my 99 Pathfinder with 280k miles. I wish Nissan (and Honda, Mitsubishi and even Toyota) still built vehicles like they did in the 90s.
Had a 1998 Camry with a 2.2 liter for about eleven years. Currently own a 2007 4RUNNER V6 and I don't regret either one!
An old mentor told me that after 5 yrs, one should sell their cars due to upcoming maintenamce costs after 5 yrs of car use.
Can u tell me how do u maintain old cars properly and are maintenance costs stull worth it vs buying new ones?
@@jaydee11.11 In eleven years besides changing the oil the only thing I replaced on my Camry was the radiator and the starter. I traded it in with 207,000 some odd miles. My 4RUNNER has over 170,000 miles and runs like a champ. From what I understand Toyota makes their own parts and makes them in small batches which results in better quality control. Their fit and finish is world class among other things. Maybe whoever told you to sell a vehicle after five years due to maintenance cost increase never owned a Toyota?
Had a 85 Tercel for 13 years. Only had to replace the alternator and radiator when it was 12 and 13 years old. A quality car.
Scotty seems to have more energy than most people half his age.
that’s what happens when u live ur life doing what u like
No doubt about that, I've got a friend who owns a body shop and he's about the same age and kids half his age and younger can't keep up with him.
The Xterra is in great shape especially for the price
For a dead guy he's very animated
That's true guys
Bought a 99 4cyl Camry new back in the day and lasted my 20 years without issues. Then bought a 2020 camry which am happy with and hope to keep as long.
I like "Old Style" too Scotty!! Cheers!
i had a monorail, 1999 transport with 3800 engine, i could not kill that van, it was the mean green and gold dream machine, everything good happened with that van, thank you pontiac
I have a 98 honda accord ex that still runs awesome at 184,400 miles love the car I would totally get another one.
My friend has nissan extra he has lots problem !!!He has now honda pilot and now he's is happy 😉
My mom had a 98 4Runner. Thing was reliable as hell. We had that thing for over 20 years and it still ran beautifully. We rarely brought it to the shop. We eneded up handing it to my uncle for whatever reason and he ended up rolling it and it still works just fine🤣
Any Corolla with manual transmission before 2017.
Unstoppable.
Yeah I had a 1988 pathfinder 16,000 miles I had it for 31 years. Drive it till the fuel injectors went bad. I donated it
Pathfinders back then didn't have the cvt transmission in it either. They were damn near bulletproof
Thanks for the great content of knowledge. I've learned a lot on cars in this channel. Been taking care of my 200k mi 2000 Subaru Outback for a year now.
My 2007 Camry had 473,000 miles on it before it was rear ended.
Thats great news, my inherited from my mother 2007 2.2 litre has 187000kms so plenty of life left. I’m using it increasingly as my daily runabout in preference to my LR4
Love your personality and your professionalism. You make learning about cars fun!
I have a 1999 Toyota Camry with 180k miles, boy that thing drives like a dream a/c blows very cold . My 18 year old son is driving it now giving it hell and it just keeps going. Toyota makes the best cars.
Thanks for the information Scotty
My 2006 Nissan Xterra finally died last month. Kept overheating. Needed an engine rebuild. Not bad for a car that lasted 18 years.
How many miles did she have?
Only 136,000.
I worked for an automotive supplier that built the cv joints for the Camry. That generation was built as a companion to the Lexus. So basically you were getting Lexus mechanicals. I had a 95 and 96. I drove a 2dr with the v6/5 spd. It ran really well. A rust free one is a great teens car.
Before you buy it think 2 things
1- it has spare parts available
2 - after selling the price will decrease more
This is the truth.
My first gen Acura Legend would still be my daily if it weren't for having to play junkyard roulette any time something needs replacement.
Man, the Nissan already brings nostalgia to me. Those unique led indicators fixed within their plastic holes, lovely. 🛣
I am from Quebec and what make me sad is that cold and rust is the worst and best enemy of all cars even toyota. They are tanks but not where salt is spraiyed on the streets for 6 months. :/
oubli pas aussi on a des chemins de marde ...
Yes I have a Yaris 2006. 97 000 km. The clear coat peeled on the top (problem with many) but i don't mind it works great but toyota told me it has 6 months left because of the rusted left side rocker under the back door. If it wasn't fir the rust it would last for years.
I love my 05 frontier. Rusting underneath cause was parked in a lawn fir years but still going
He's 67!!! Woah ...good work my guy
hi Scotty i have 2012 frontier it has 349000 with no major problem not even oil leak love it
My 00’ 4runner is at 276k miles and goin strong💪
I have 2004 Xterra with 280K miles and still running no check engine light. Runs good!😊
My Mom bought a Xterra new 06 & she's still driving it plus living in Florida she got the 2 wheel drive so it was cheaper and more dependable (rear drive).
It is a real truck pannelled as an SUV tall wagon. Most SUVs are cars mocked up with panels. If it is FWD it is likely a car that cosmetically looks like a truck:
Maverick, HHR, CRV....
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but truck mechanicals last far longer than mist car guts. If you actually used these car SUV/pocket trucks the way they get used in commercials they'd be ragged out in 50k.
I plan on buying one of these when the funds become available love the Xterras my favorite nissan
If you buy an XTerra or Pathfinder of this generation, install a stand-alone transmission cooler in place of the one integrated in the radiator. The radiators fail all of the time, and they mix the coolant and transmission fluid when they do. The result is a destroyed transmission. When you go to buy a remanufactured automatic transmission for your Nissan SUV, the reman transmissions usually come with new radiators, because that's what causes them to fail. The other problem with these is A/C door actuators. They're pretty expensive to replace and make an incredibly irritating clicking and grinding noise when they fail.
2011 and above were resolved
^This also goes for 3rd gen 4Runners if you are regularly towing/off-roading
250K on my 2004 Tacoma and still kicking butt! Still runs like it did 20 years ago.
Good one. Now what advice do you have for a HD trikes glide trike. Please
If there is one thing I miss is hand cranked windows. Yeah, it's inconvenient for rear windows but i prefer manuel for as much as possible
I have a 06 Altima with a stick shift still going strong original clutch still bone stock only problem so far is cam sensor $29 part .....got it new and hope to have it for another 10+ years
It's cold here too, 22 degrees now.
Finally talked my dad into selling me the 1992 4 cylinder camry he bought brand new. Rarely would get driven. Has 166,000 miles. Still all original. No problems. Getting 26 mpg too. Plan on getting another 100,000 miles out of it.
had my 2001 camry xle for 7 years now nd kept up with maintenance still runs 👍
Got 21 years and 140,000 miles and 03 Green Cavalier Coupe. I love my Chevrolet. Recommendd 5w30 convential. I run 10w40 synthetic. Puurs and takes this 2.2l dohc to 6,800 reguraly.
Chevr😮let?
how bout my 2004 mazda b2300.. great runner and dependable like a rock!
My friend had a 97 4RUNNER that thing still running because he bought it from my other friend and he is a handy man 🤠 he took care it good that is why it still standing.
As I am a Mazda person, my father was a Camry person. Had owned Camry's from at least '88 until he couldn't drive anymore, two years ago. My daughter is driving my mom's '08 4runner, purchased new, only 110k on it. It was gifted to her in '21 when my mom passed. Still like new.
@scottykilmer - does it have a timing chain or timing belt & when should it be changed - at what mileage??
Gotta love the Camry 😎
Skotty really is the best guy on youtube, love him!
Japanese cars built in the 80s to early 2000 are still running and built to last
98 camry with 270k miles on it and it runs great
2004 Tundra 👍🏻
I had a 2004 4 Runner. I was on my way to the east coast when the rear stabilizer rusted off the frame. The frame was rusted through. It did run well, I liked the car, but beware of certain years where Toyota used sub standard steel for their frames.
Can you do a video on the new Tundra engine issues?
The best solution to longevity of most of the cars, is the manual transmission and will go forever.
Gladly pay more for gas then repairs. Bring it on
'85 Datsun / Nissan 720 reg cab pickup. 2.4L Z24 inline 4, 200,000 + 32mph highway with new EGR valve.
Honorable mention Toyota Highlander
Dude who runs a store where I live has a 09 highlander with 420,000 miles changed the water pump and starter once original powertrain.
1.2 million miles on my Toyota. 1986. Original motor and trans
Hey scotty, how about the toyota rav 1996-1998. Also one well build vih.
Frontiers still have a v6, Yoda went to a turbo 4 banger. I'll take a V6 any day.
I would kill for a brand new 95 Toyota Camry or Avalon made the exact same way today. Absolutely most reliable car ever with nothing to hate other than your in it for the long haul owning one 😅
@Scotty Kilmer. What is your take on subaru tribecka 2007?
What do you think of the new Frontier V6.
Toyota dropped there V6.
I was disappointed.
On his other videos he said that it’s a reliable engine with plenty of power for ever you’ll need.
2000 4Runner, running fine - only issue is electronics; elec windows, lower dash lights, temp gauge, radio volume.
This old Xterra reminds me of my 2005 Sienna with 252K miles and the same crack in the windshield :)
2003 town car. 155,000 on the clock. Bulletproof
I had 3 Pathfinders and really loved them, especially in the snow! On the first one in the mid 90's, Nissan recalled it after about 18 months and...replaced the entire engine for free! My second car now for the kids (and I, because I like the feeling of driving i.e. feeling the road, not driving from an insulated living room sofa) is a 2009 Mazda 2. You just cannot destroy this car. I think it will still be running when all the car park is electric... maybe never. It was in mint condition when I bought it, but kids being kids, its body has suffered multiple traces of distance and speed miscalculations. I will keep this punching bag Mazda until the kids leave the house and then look for another one!
I drove a Pathfinder from a customer i was Fun and I still have my 98 Camry wich my dad bought 22years ago i got it 2014 and it is still Strong :)
Any thoughts 🤔💭 on Nissan Maximas
Hi Scotty, ya I’m still driving a 2006 Honda Accord lx 4cly 116, 400 miles the paint not so nice. Oh well, it still runs mighty . Just oil changes. New 2023 2024 Accords in CA are $38,000😮 to much $$$. 2021 low mileage civic $21,000 it’s crazy! Still waiting for the price to plunge.
I am the original ownr of a 2009 Nissan Maxima with 271,000 miles and it has never had an issue. Love this car and it has saved me a ton of money through out the years. Maxima's
are good cars.
They're fast too
I missed my 2000 Nissan Xterra that had the 4-cylinder manual transmission.
I still own a 2000 with the v-6 and manual, it has a timing belt and is underpowered as hell but has been super dependable. Sat for 5 years without firing up and a quick jump later it was back on the road.
Had 3 of those early 90s Camrys in the family over the years. Broken door handles, electric window failures and oil burning tendencies chased us away. Subarus are all we'll drive.
06 Toyota Land Cruiser 130 thousand miles love it
we bought a new ‘91 Camry “DX”, then the ‘92 came out - went from compact to midsize! 😜
Timing belt engines are more quiet, less complex, easier to work on, the timing belts can last 150k km if you drive reasonably and live in midwrate climate so usually you only need to change it 1 or 2 tines during the whole life if the car.
sucks that my car has an interference engine tho. 04 es330 lexus
What are your thoughts on Nissan pathfinder 9 speed automatic by ZF?
what year you recommend
Shout out to the mobile surf racks.
1. Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro
2. Toyota Land Cruiser
3. Lexus LX 570
20:00, "could burn rubber in all 5 gears." 🤣😜🤪
With the inflation that we're going through right now.Especially in california, these older vehicles with 100k plus are going for more than ten thousand dollars.
Amazing Scotty WISH YOU'D LIVE FOREVER, ADVISE MY KIDS ND GRAN KIDS TOO❤️💯👌👌
😅😂 " idk how many miles I have on me , the odometer broke on me a long time ago" scotty you're funny as hell!
@ 12:35 … coincidence? Junkyard and shows a Chevy dealership? 🤔 😂
My 02’ lexus rx300 has 270k miles and very reliable ❤❤
NZ is considered a hardcore country for vehicles, mainly because it can be summer and snow. And all the other options.
So if you want better made cars, try make the climate like NZ.
I love my 1979 F150 I6 300 4 speed
You know SCOTTY, you spoke about A 2009 FX35 by INFINITI, I would really like to hear what is your take on this suv? Really. My brother has one that is over 200 thou, and he is planning on keep it, now that it costing him to do some up keep. So I told I would ask you about this suv. When you find time please put some info out for us. Thank you again.
I had a 2000 Camry that was great for 260k miles. Only problem was that it rotted out from originally being in the north east.
