Dealer Auction Walk Around 7-4-23 + Cheap Subaru WRX STi

[@fasteddy917]

Yes, we should thank you for doing these videos. Freeze in the winter and bake in the summer and in between it's just not nice. Today it's hot, then sandblasted then soaking wet and the trolls are entitled to their opinion and then again their privileged to be wrong. Thank you for another great video.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

And I’m happy to make them for you!

[@Scotts23]

Those suburus are not the best/easiest cars to drive that blazer is very very nice but i do personally prefer the 80s/90s blazers and I was so hoping that you were going to show us the red RAM next to the suburu that looked one nice truck GREAT VIDEO AGAIN RANDY 👍👍👍

[@bungeycord5971]

Your audio does very well considering the high wind. Ive read good and bad things about the eco diesel.

[@Deepin210]

Hey randy pretty sure the sti has a aftermarket clutch. They are good cars just as long you don’t try push it over 450hp on a stock motor.

[@acebrigade9586]

​@@FIREB4IIbuilt Subaru BRZ ...800 hp ..beating supercars 😂

​@@FIREB4IIa buddy of mine has a 2016 STI pushing 727 to the wheels!!! Obviously very little is stock under the hood!!😅😅😅😅

[@jwilson5328]

Randy: that subaru is in limp mode. Once the check engine light is triggered you cant change the sports settings , traction control and cruise controls don't work. The boost pressure is also limited. You will have to find out out the problem and clear the code for the car to be normal. I have some Insight as I own a 2011 sti

[@gorsmy]

Subaru has a competition clutch used for racing

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

Thank you Randy for all you do to bring us videos. Yeap cars are not built like they used to.

Hey Randy! Hope you’re doing well! Just started watching the video & if it’s still there, I would like to see that Mazda next to the goo’d up Bmw. Thanks, & keep up the great work man!

[@wjadams2]

Hey Randy, awesome content as always! That STI is very interesting. I'm curious what that goes for. I used to own a 2014 Hatchback STI. The SI drive is for throttle response, with sport sharp being the quickest. Also the c.diff controls are to set front or rear bias on the center differential. I usually had mine on auto or a click to the rear. Also, I was so excited when I saw the G8 in the side mirror. It's too bad it wasn't the GXP.

[@2DogsVlogs]

That G8 could be worse. Could have had the 3.0 in it. That engine is gutless as hell and it has a lightweight driveshaft than bends and hits the body when you plant it.

The 3rd gen eco diesel (2020 and up)is a decent engine. Second gen like in that 17 was an ok engine too but that one is the engine that had the emission "scandal" so they got de tuned. First gen sucked.

[@wjulie22]

Nothing wrong with Subaru it’s just people don’t look after them

[@GrandmaKeith]

I would still drive that G8 even with the 3.6 because I love the body style.

[@TommyThames]

Hey randy Subaru wrx and sti clutch lets out high it takes getting use to I have a 2019 same thing

[@RicardoPCGamer]

Subaru technician here. Those STI's have the EJ257 engines. The rod bearings are complete glass. They spin bearings commonly. I've seen at least 2 of those STI's come in with spun bearings. Everything else about the car is great. Regular WRX's with the FA20F engines are actually pretty reliable tho. i'm thinking this car probably has a bent clutch fork. I have also seen that before. Sometimes the fork will bend and it'll make you feel like the clutch is bad but it's just not fully engaging like it should.

[@johntysen3370]

I test drove brand new ones around 2010 and again in 2015. I noticed the same thing with those. The clutch pedal almost completely at the top before it engaged. I didn't like it. I owned a bug eye 02. The clutch engaged right as it came off the floor. I've never heard anyone say that the ej25 had bad bearings. All I've ever heard about were head gaskets and anything over 500hp needed pistons and rods.

[@RicardoPCGamer]

@@johntysen3370 interesting. Many of the 2010's i drive they engage pretty low and the pedal is quite heavy. The 2015's these are pretty common to bend the forks. The later ones don't have this problem. These 2015-2021 models generally grab around midway on the pedal. Not too low or too high. Unless the previous owner burnt out the clutch. STI's generally have a pretty grabby clutch, the engagement is much more aggressive than a regular WRX. These cars really go without having to release the pedal too much. I've been a tech for over 2 years. So i know how these cars drive. And yes the later EJ's which are the 257's specifically. They didn't build the bottom ends right. They have a updated short block for them. Which should fix the issue. But yeah i've seen more than one of them around the 30-40k mile range with spun bearings.

[@adamhecht1762]

Randy, love the channel. Always enjoy watching your vids about all the cars you see. We somehow found you and Monkey Wrench and enjoy both channels. Keep up the good work!!!

[@mikesharp8653]

I'd be all in on the Subaru WRX. Pop a new clutch in, money in the bank long as the price is right. Happy 4th of July Randy!

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. The Pontiac Sunbird is a good looking car. You should put a bid on it when it comes up for sale. The BMW 750Li is a good looking car. Happy 4th of July to you and your family. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@phillipramey4734]

I have a question,can you sell to the public. Or dealers only. I am looking for a charger.

Good Video & Walk Around Randy Good Variety Of Vehicles I Agree With You About The Blazer Years Ago My Friend Had A Full Size With A 3 Inch Lift & Years Later His Girlfriend Had A 4 Door 2000 Blazer

[@wes11bravo]

I will NEVER complain about you looking at trucks, especially work trucks. And I can't imagine getting hit by one, though I have been rear ended while driving my F450 bucket truck by a Civic. Barely scratched the paint on my pintle hitch and her car was totally destroyed!

[@Budicles]

Just wait until you have to replace them Brem-blow brakes.... Called Dodge for OEM pads.... 820.00 front and 750.00 rear in my area. That is one car off MY list

[@malikdigger4544]

Woow just woow on 2018 Dodge Lonestar 4x4 & blue Subaru WRX STI yes also red Scion I4 is clean little car aswell most important ( Happy Independence Day) Randy

[@Da1nOnlyPigsta]

I'd say the Clutch is gone! I bought a 1982 Subaru Leone Sedan and the Clutch was the same, engaged right at the top. It was mint and looked like it had just rolled off of the Showroom floor! I gave it to my Mother and a month later the Clutch let go on her. That cost more than I paid for the Car to replace.

[@johnholland1560]

Those BMW 's of that model have an electrical fault that shows up every now and then for no reason,then they won't start,I know of 3 here in Australia from my cab passengers all telling me their story,I owner who lived 1000 miles from Sydney on a Station in the outback only got half way home having just purchased new,he phoned the dealer said he would take a $20000 loss just to get his earlier model BMW back,they said sorry we just sold it,don't what he did but he got rid of it ,was about a 2000 model.

[@jamesearl5071]

Might be hydraulic clutch lifter... sometimes the seal's give out! Even leaking on to the clutch!? Stop nipping maybes, had one car hooked to the brakes fluid...

[@kc0lif]

I'm wondering where these people driving to putting over 100.000 miles on vehicles wow. i like trucks i like suv's. i realize you gotta have certain standards you flip cars.

[@trionic5]

As a former Impreza owner, when these cars throw a check engine light they disable cruise/si drive/traction control. It’s stupid but the flashing cruise and “S” on the dash are nothing to be worried about.

[@DanielCantrell-z6l]

Randy I own an eco-diesel I’ve got 76000 miles on it I average 31 mpg and on the highway it’s close to 40mpg and I’ve had no issues at all!! Get one you be happy

[@bramwellprice8833]

I have a 2021 Chevy blazer mine has the 3.6 v6 engine it’s comfortable to drive and comfortable on long trips I don’t know about the 4 cylinder but the v6 has a lot of torque steer. If you slam on the throttle you better have a good hold on the steering wheel.

[@DoodleBobs-sl7cc]

Subaru makes good cars . Any car is a piece of junk if you treat like it like crap. Of course the engine would fail if you dog it clean continuously. The Outback is probably a better car than the WRX

[@daved5244]

Hi Randy! The STI and all subies when the check engine light is set off it disables just about everything, cruise, S drive, etc.....

[@loganlovescarsandmotorcycles]

I wouldn't own any new GM vehicle but I would drive almost anything. The early EcoDiesel is better. Emissions

[@carlosmachado-sd8il]

I'm going to try real hard not to show you trucks cause your tired of looking at them (myself included).... proceeds to show trucks.

[@ToKuTube]

Fine I'll say it lol... The sti is a good car. 98-01 had headgasket issues and the internet clowns assume all subaru's have headgasket issues.. they don't. 08-11 had widespread piston failures that has been resolved for the most part. Engine failures happen but 99.999999% of the time it's when people mod them don't tune them properly then beat on them or they run them out of oil. People drive them like a Honda and they are not a Honda. As for the so drive that's your sport/sport#/intelligent settings for throttle response and boost targets. C diff let's you manipulate the torque split between front and rear or go full 50/50 lock. It's disabled currently tly due to the check engine light being on. Crusie is disabled with any check engine light activation I've had 5 sti's over the years never once lost a head gasket or had any issues other than a cracked piston on my 04 at 91,000 Clutch is pretty easy biggest issue is those 6 speed sti trans are heavy but you have a lift so it wouldn't be too bad. Overall it looks good on you

[@richardscott4981]

Happy 4th of July 😊

Like the 5500 ram I see you how you run away for it and that's a good car cleaning fixing that's beautiful that's a nice truck

Randy the Subaru's 2014 and up have no head gasket issues anymore they redesigned the motors 14 and down have nothing but head gasket issues and oil issues

[@chrislemaster2695]

Those Cummuns engines are true work horses and Dodge has been using these since Fall of 1988 for the 1989 Model Year

[@4869richard]

Ram has two Cummins diesel’s they both have the same displacement, but they do offer one that has a higher Torque and hire Horsepower

I had one of those Pontiac grand prix I think it was a 05 they ride like Cadillacs I was going 78 in a 65 the sheriff give me a warning.

All the rams from 2500 to 5500 have the same engine. Only thing that changes is the suspension, rear end and Tranny.

[@sethcramer9834]

Subaru needs a new valve body. Subarus are known for that. Just had to do it in the one I had. All the lights will go away once replaced

That 5500 would be cool with a regular Ram dually bed

Hi Randy, just wanna let you know that I watch today’s video. You did a awesome job between the raindrops. I know it’s raining on you but you still doing awesome drive even through the rain just keep the videos coming on your KZbin channel. Please talk to you later man.

[@Crispychicken4u]

The new blazer looks like it’s a sibling of the Jeep Cherokee . No character. Give me the old ones of both

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Whats wrong with trucks?….I’d rather see a truck than an Oldsmobile. 🎉 The Blazer with a 6 cylinder is an okay rig….but the 4 cylinder sucks! For the record, the EcoDiesel is not junk! I own a Laramie and mine has been great! But like any diesel, they are suited for HIGHWAY. Mine’s over 114,000 miles and averages over 20 MPG city / highway. But I’ve NEVER seen 30 MPG…not once! Don’t trash my rig man…😂 Happy 4th of July.

[@Ollie2846]

The Sti is in limp mode. Some one might have put less than 91 octane in it. Might be an easy fix. I made the mistake myself had same lights on the dash. Best of luck.

[@anthonysourdiff1835]

I agree with you on your thought about the blazer. I wouldn't be able to drive it though.

My father has a 2016 Laramie 1500 with the eco diesel. speaking from experience as a former dodge tech; Great truck as a whole, but these motors are notorious for their swirl valves going bad. Outside of that it’s an amazing pickup and as long as you mostly use it for highway service you most likely won’t have a motor problem.

[@jaysonanderson1148]

Randy! I’d highly recommend a 2020+ sonata for a fuel efficient car. My 2022 non-hybrid squeezed out 45 mpg on a highway drive with the windows down over 80 miles

[@xinx-fn8973]

The newer WRXs and STIs are pretty good when it comes to reliability, a lot of there deaths are user error, whether it’s poorly modding it or whatever, that subaru is on the cusp of one I’d say stay away from, it’s modded but very lightly, either needs a clutch or it has an aftermarket one
