My friend bought an old Mercedes it looked clean but within a year he stuck about $7,000 in it. He is a truck driver so he is on the road a lot so he rarely drove it. He put it up for sale just to recoup his cost of the car not the repairs. A college girl came with her dad and wanted it . He would not sell it to her explaining to her and her dad that it was an endless money pit. He eventually sold it to a guy that was a mechanic.

Concerning the reliability of Porsche: here in Germany they're amongst the cars with the highest resale value. This is partly due to the fact that they have built a solid reputation for reliable sport cars. Repairs are expensive but very often predictable. Just don't buy a pile of junk like mentioned in the video for 12k - some people don't get it. They have to have an excellent maintenance history. Period.

[@joelstatosky1817]

Repairs are always predicable because Porsche owners are extremely detailed with maintenance. You don't buy a Porsche with transmission issues and needs a rebuild, you buy the one that has had it already done. After that it will probably go for another 100,000 miles no problem. Especially the carrera 3.2 from the 80's. Those are bullet proof, I have yet to see one have extremely major issues that where not predictable.

I have owned two Porsche 911...a 996 and now a 997.2. My 996 I bought for $20k, was incredibly reliable for 5 years, and sold it for $25k making it the cheapest car I ever owned. The 997.2 is proving to be extremely reliable as well, and will likely also go up in value when I sell it. Oh and it makes me smile every time I am behind the wheel. Most of my friends that buy used 911 and know how to maintain them have the exact same story. Best value in any cars (and have owned a few other brands along the way).

Depends on years. 997 and 987 gen 1 and I guess 996 and 986, AOS (air oil separator). Also, all Those plastic pipes that get brittle with heat cycles need replacing. Oil cooler seals. Idle pulleys. Just off the top of my head if you go and pick one of those cars up and want it somewhat reliable. Watch out for rear control modules under the drivers seat of those boxsters, they can get wet and corrode causing gremlins. Oh, and shift cables for manuals. They let loose around 80k. Oh and alternator to transmission portion cable, bad crimps from the factory as well as check the frunk positive battery terminal on the firewall for corrosion. Those will cause slow cranking as a symptom and will end up killing the starter. I think I read that the clutch pedal can get really still if it’s time for a new clutch, hasn’t happened to me yet. Then there is all of the dchunk, bore scoring, and ims bearing hooplah. All worth it, love my 997 and 987 Boxster

[@MrShadyfish]

I've owned Hondas, Nissans, Fords, Audis, Lincoln, Mazda, Hyundai, VWs and Porsche. The Lincoln and Porsche had the most expensive repairs, but the parts were engineered better and needed less frequent repairs so overall they were the least expensive to own. Fords actually cost me the most...cheap parts, but more broke down because the engineering wasn't there. I would agree that Porsche trim, mainly interior parts, are not as well engineered, but the mechanicals and body are better than most brands if well maintained. The key is not skimping on maintenance. You are paying for performance with Porsche. Performance pushes many components to a point where they need more attention than the average car. Camrys last a long time because they are built pretty well, but they also tolerate neglect better. And most people neglect, not baby their cars.

[@mikemorris7776]

I own 2 Porsche. 1 has 141000 miles the other has 89000 miles. Neither one has ever given me any trouble. Just like any vehicle if you take care of it it will take care of you. Porsche are very reliable

[@videomaniac108]

I bought a used 944S Porsche in 1993 with about 55,000 miles on it. It was in very good condition and I had a pre-purchase inspection done on it by a reputable independent Porsche shop, who verified that there were no issues with the car. Having a garage and tools, I did most of the maintenance and simple repairs myself and brought it to either of two good independent Porsche shops in my city, San Diego, for more involved stuff. I drove the car for about 10 more years and put on about 100,000 more miles on the car. The car was more expensive to operate than the Ford Pinto that I had before but was not terribly more expensive. I was very proactive in doing good preventive maintenance and replaced components that I knew there were issues with before they broke down. I did research on the car to find out what the problem areas were and I solicited best advice from the good mechanics I found at the two shops in San Diego, Black Forest and Dieter's.

Wow I just saw a Porsche on the road (I was admiring it at the time) and KZbin recommended me this vid :O

[@gg5115]

They already knew that you saw it and were thinking about it.

[@ntdrem1965]

Love ya vids

Scotty: REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!! Also Scotty: Don't rev up your engines!

[@sportfanatic5339]

One of my favorite sayings in regards to cars is, “ if you can’t afford it new, don’t buy it used.”

[@Sweetblood777]

Scotty, what are your thought on the ABS systems? I tend to think that having only one or two wheels stopping. isn't that effect as having more than two trying to stop a car. If I pull the fuse on this system, will it damage anything else?

[@paulds65]

No, it will not damage anything but your changes of crashing in an emergency stop are way higher than with ABS active. Good luck!

[@OverlandTT]

My 16 year old Cayenne S V8 is very reliable and wants for nothing except basic oil changes. Had it several years and I'd buy it again for sure!

[@bcgrittner]

Let’s not forget the Porsche intermediate shaft bearing fiasco of the early 2000’s. My fire department still has its 1954 Jeep CJ-3B. The power train is original except for the clutch. I used to take that Jeep where angels feared to tread. We replaced it with a 2010 pickup, which is way safer and more comfortable.

[@easyalpha1]

Basically supercars are cars tuned by expensive companies that will charge you tons more money to maintain.

[@josephmarsh8235]

Hey Scotty what's your thoughts on Porsche V8 engines? Do Porsche make good V8 engines, and better than boxer engines?

[@fordlandau]

I have a 1974 Corolla. 120, 000 km. Goes great !

[@fordlandau]

I ❤️❤️Scotty. You tell them buddy !!

[@jayhoward7448]

Scotty's working hard out here, putting out great content.👍🏼👍🏼 I'm waiting on that killer app Scotty.😁😁

[@therealist5680]

So who here owns a Porsche that was unreliable because my 2005 Boxster S has 203,000 miles on it with just regular maintenance and has never broken down. There’s a reason they’re now rated second behind Lexus.

[@99thDimension]

Had a 911 beautiful car required a tune up every two weeks if you went pass the tune up it would spit and sputter by the end of the month. Tune up was cheap $70.00 timing and carbs adjusted.

[@theall-seeingpie8887]

Don't even try to remove an o2 sensor without heating the pipe around it cherry red. You don't need a fancy o2 sensor wrench if you're replacing it, cut the wires right at the end of the old sensor and use a 6 point wrench or deep socket.

[@kbus2112]

You flew into Love Field in Dallas. Best state fair I've been to.

[@qrm8772]

Wondered where you were going with that. Lol

[@Dcc357]

I got to drive a body shop alignment 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera. Some poor bastard bought it used somewhere. After I finished the alignment and began test driving it, I have never felt so disappointed and sad. The clutch was slipping, and some old man in a Buick started tailgating me to speed up lol. I didn't expect it to be that bad. It didn't even slip in the parking lot haha.

[@sheffield8184]

Scotty what do you think of the vw scirocco mk3 on looks only?

[@unstablebobgable]

I like to roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.

[@tonysaber8135]

Can you replace only two of run flat tires with regular or you have to change all four tires

Scotty is an antidote for commercials of luxury sports cars carving through canyons without any traffic.

[@hussh6233]

Scotty, I have a 2014 Toyota Highlander (Kluger in Australia) and it's AWD. My understanding is that the car operates in 2WD mode and automatically activates AWD under extreme operating conditions. Is this correct?

[@tylerlogsdon8623]

Hi Scotty can't wait for the app

[@DPTBAA]

If you're a backyard mechanic, a modern used porsche boxster or cayman is a very reliable and fairly easy car to repair (a lot of parts have decent suitable substitutes or can be had for a song, since many parts are shared with VW). I bought a heavy mile 2005 boxster for 13 grand, and have only spent $1400 (over the past 3.5 years) in parts to fix old and new problems. For the shear fun, it's been completely worth it. Just sayin'

[@sausagelizer4444]

I’m thinking of buying a 987.1 cayman S 2006. I have no knowledge of how to fix a car or anything. I will make sure I get a good car but do you think it will be reliable

[@clemmahabir]

Just bought a 2010 Lincoln executive L with over 1million kms on her and It runs on propane and gas. I was told the transmission was replaced and its the original engine black on black interior thats almost perfect. I paid $800 for her and shes called Beauty..lol and this is a testiment to Ford and Lincoln. I drove this car home on Friday the way it was with no problems it needs a little TLC cosmetics but being an ex limo service car the owner regreted selling it his wife was on his case my gain his loss. A million kms latter and still on the road says alot when American cars were this well built we are up here in Toronto Canada. 😎👍

[@neilk1121]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Scotty that's hilarious! I was going to say! I recalled on many instances in your past videos that Porsches/VWs/Audi/etc were pains in the @$$ with regards to reliability and very costly repair! I love your videos and most of all helpful advice! And your jokes make it better!

[@teamawesome2171]

7:11 them seals..... 😃😃😃

[@SmudgyContent]

1991 neon lasted me 233k miles until the intake gasket and slave cylinder went out on it... bought it for $160 sold it for $560

[@DIORGUILTY]

FINALLY A VIDEO I COMPLETELY AGREE ON. bought a 2006 porsche cayenne early 2019 with 180,000 miles and has been running SMOOTHLY since. not even a tuneup yet, just small maintenance here and there when necessary. excellent driving experience, and fun/luxurious too. 😊

[@valeriy1987]

Porsche is the most reliable german brand (minus gen 1 boxsters and mid 2000s auto 911)

[@qlus]

@@valeriy1987 that's only because they switched to water cooling and were getting the hang of it

[@rafaayali7513]

I have 04 durango hemi should I change the transmission fluid? I think its never been changed

[@professoribrahimbello-kano5364]

Scotty's channel is the most car buyer, car user friendly channel ever. There's no arguing that!

[@qlus]

Not really because he's not the most open minded reviewer

[@clintortega8492]

Hey scotty help pleeeeez. 2002 honda acoord v6 coupe 215000. Changed timing belt, spark plugs, valve cover and intake manifold gaskets, and all other belts. Has a rumbly idle on first start of the day. And then sometimes if i start it after that throughout the day its smooth at first then drops in rpms too low feels like it wants to choke out. Any thoughts?

[@johndriskell4081]

I had a 1998 Dodge Neon R/T with DOHC engine which lasted 700,000 miles. Head gasket leaked and changed by dealer and had to replace the fifth gear. Other that paying for the fifth gear being replaced the only other major problem was a blown head gasket at 700k miles.

[@artifactland69]

Hey Scotty, i always thought porsches were really cool. Which models are the most reliable?

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

My Porsche Cayman S has been completely reliable with no huge repair bills.

[@PJ-hi1gz]

Is it still? I’m looking to buy one

[@sausagelizer4444]

I’m looking to buy a 2006 cayman S 987.1 what do you think

[@TheFernguerrero58]

I have owned two Porsches, and they have been reliable and great fun.

[@sebbi8906]

I dont know why all of you hate mercedes so much my father is driving his 190e since its release and it never broke down

[@qlus]

Scotty told them to hate Mercedes but people are sheep and just listen to him. The right models are far from being money pits

[@someotherguy43]

I have a 1995 lexus sc400, both trac light and abs light are on at the same no check engine light. Sensors?

[@italocarvalho1030]

Thanks Scotty, now I know the only car that I should buy, Toyota Celica 94.

[@henry222ist]

You killed my dream again Scotty. But ya you saved me.

[@ianmurray3919]

Working on a 8.1 vortec c4500 Chevy I just cut the wire to the oxygen sensor got a deep wall socket and rattled it off with the impact

[@subagon]

Scotty, What's your opinion on an imported 25+ year old Japanese kei truck like the Suzuki Carry? Thinking about getting one for a toy.

[@jtland4842]

I am thinking about buying a 2007-2009 lexus is250 or 350 for about 5000-6000. What are your thoughts? Do these really need premium fuel?

[@bp7770]

That's typically what you hear from people who cant afford one . Endless money pits blah blah. Great cars fun to drive. Dont be mad you cant afford one or to cheap to pay to maintain them

[@bp7770]

@MINDustry owned 2 Porsches zero issues . Maintenance fees are a rip off I agree. It's a money pit if you dont got any money. I'm not rich by any means

[@bp7770]

@MINDustry I've had more issues on my f150 than I've had from my 2 Porsches.

[@qlus]

@MINDustry any air cooled Porsche ever made is far from a money pit. Even if you have to repair them and say spend 10k on a 993 repair it would still be an appreciating asset

[@bp7770]

@MINDustry no actually owned both Porsches. I've never leased a car. But you do have a point i upgraded around 5 years to a new one. And have had it for 5 years with no issues. So 10 yrs with no issues is a win for me. Btw I drove both as my daily. They didnt just sit in a garage

[@ajlove6969]

Hey Scotty I’m thinking about buying a Mercedes CLS 63 or A Porsche Panamera 2012 Which one should I get??
