You know Nick better then anyone don’t listen to the ignorant people who have nothing to do with your life

[@anjrukater2384]

100% agree

[@JasonAlexander-uz4ns]

Your a great step dad to Nick were all just excited to see Nick get a vehicle😊 glad you do appreciate our enthusiasm. Nasty comments are not needed I agree.

[@kenpresley3346]

2015 2.4L engines were part of Hyundai's engine recall. Don't consider it unless you can determine if the engine has been replaced as part of the recall. That rod knock is trying to tell you it hasn't been replaced.

[@justintardif9527]

All they will do is look at the oil and say nope the car wasnt maintaned properly

[@1984Cutlass2nv]

Yeah I would avoid it. My wife's 2013 just had the engine replaced by Hyundai for free after they pulled the valve cover and checked for sludge (I did the oil changes the past couple years so no receipts with the vin number on them). They were satisfied with the maintenance and replaced it for free. Ours had no warning (unless it was the day of and my wife didn't notice) it seized up at 55mph and would not turn over by any means after that. At least on the 2013 the red dipstick comes with the new long block. Not sure if 2015 is the same.

[@TheOcculus]

That's most most car companies. You usually have to take them to court to get them to actually warranty things like engines and Transmissions. If you actually have a lemon claim take it right to a lawyer

[@quadfatheriii7976]

@@justintardif9527 if there are records of oil changes it goes a long way, otherwise the make us take off the valve cover to see the valve train, if there’s sludge it is not covered if there isn’t then they make the tech jump through more hoops lol

[@RobertE-t1j]

I had a feeling with that oil being so sludgy that it probably hasn't been changed in a very long time and without proof and seeing how that looks they will deny warranty work and trust me they make sure and will do anything they can to get out of it

[@rayphillips332]

I learned to drive in a 1978 Sedan DeVille in rush hour traffic!! Never had a fear of any car after!

[@mooauto2388]

Hyundai in general is a big pass they are full of engine issues especially the 2.4 gdi that engine is hard to get and cost more than the whole car

[@blevins6584mopar]

You ever thought about giving him that 1000 horsepower rambler ? It's small easy to parallel part. 🤔

[@bwboley87]

The 2.4 and 2.0t Hyundai has a life time replacement warranty due to a class action. If it had the ECU update and not a savage title it would get a free new engine.

[@wanee8039]

The Elantra turned on but wouldn't move because the hood was open. You could even see on the dash how it was warning that the front hood was open. Common in electric and hybrid models in the last few years.

[@georgescarvids]

I just picked one up for my Step Son who gets his license the end of August. I get a Dealer Demo so, I tried him in the 16 Traverse that was my daily (waaaay too big for him) so, I was plunged into getting him a proper car. I spent about 1,700 all in and bought him an 07 Camry LE with 235K and filmed it for my channel. Putting a kid in a car is a process and finding the "best fit" for a kid is very important and no different than buying him a pair of sneakers. I get a lot of customers looking for a car for a 1st driver so, I filmed my process of the why and how. It's awesome that you're taking the time to find him the right car, he will appreciate you for it later!!

[@generationscomputersystems]

Randy, that Camry is one of their color upgrade options. If I remember correctly, it’s called Emerald Green Metallic, which is a premium color option. As for the Hyundai, it’s part of the engine recall timeframe. Check to see if it’s already done if you ever seen one like this again. But be prepared to have to put another engine into it if you did get it.

[@craigsanderson6974]

The color on the Toyota is factory. My daughter in law mother just bought a new Toyota Highlander in that color. And I really like it.

[@JunkerDriver999]

I remember my first car was a 86 LTD crown Victoria station wagon. I was 16, and I paid 500 cash for that car. Great experience. He is going to enjoy taking his license test in a small car. I remember taking mine in a 99 Chevy Tahoe.

[@michaelgorman4229]

LTD Crown Victoria are very reliable car

[@TheOcculus]

Those shark fin antennas are generally multiband. The data collection equipment my former company put on public transit vehicles uses tri-band antennas with GPS, cellular, and Wi-Fi under one weathertight dome. Automobiles will have GPS, cellular, and AM FM under the dome. Eventually the weather will screw up the GPS cuz it's a powered active antenna but AM FM, cellular, and even Wi-Fi are very forgiving. You'll lose range on the AM FM, Wi-Fi, and somewhat on cellular but it won't stomp the signal completely as long as you haven't dead shorted the antenna to ground. I've had data collection gear that was disconnected from the antenna or had a cracked Dome with condensate inside. It had no GPS and no Wi-Fi but the cellular network connected just fine.

[@azuproduces]

I might be a little biased cuz I own one... but a Mazda3 wouldn't be a bad choice! Cheap to buy & own, great fuel economy yet still feels sporty, small and easy to park, and they look pretty darn good!

[@olikat8]

That Toyota green? It is factory...6V4 "Spruce Mica." It's also on Lexus', I used it on a '95 Ram when I tu-toned it. Front bumper "Chin strap" plastic (chrome left in place), all down the sides below the belt line, the rear bumper, and the steel wheels with chromed hub center & stainless trim rings. The top color? Original silver/grey with the champagne tint in the clear. The dash was even in 1 piece! Standard cab, short bed, 4wd, 318 cat-back Magnaflow exhaust, RWL tires...it was clean, every option worked, and I got almost $9k for it. People loved that color combo

[@stanleyclef3783]

Look for a Honda fit. Nike will like it. is easy to drive as a beginner

[@giorgitadumadze8490]

green toyota is good looking

[@shawangunk]

Single cab Ford Ranger, small enough and cheap to fix 😊

[@danielhartin7680]

I worked in car rentals 20 years, and that Toyota green is indeed a factory color. We had a few Camry's in that particular shade.

[@GermanCarGuyMN]

Would not be surprised if that Hyundai had a bad engine

[@Xpr74]

Nah cause new Hyundais don’t have those problems maybe this one can every brand will have some cars sent to the auction still wrapped and everything cause there is something wrong with it that’s every brand but it’s way less chance on a brand new Hyundai stopping on the side of the road

[@jacobfrech288]

Why not try and see if your son likes a ranger? I have a 2001 ranger which was my first ever vehicle and I’m more than happy with how it’s treated me over the years.

[@markcopland3641]

I learned to drive in a International Travel all,like a Suburban size vehicle, like a tank that takes a lane and a half on the road.

I took my drivers test in 1978 in a '73 Mercury Montego.

[@pbrock669]

The car I took my test in was an 1986 Chrysler New Yorker 31 years ago

[@jasonbucher5622]

We had a 2021 Chevy Bolt on Lease ($199 / mo special - was free transportation) - awesome commuter car. quick, great stereo, roomy and crazy easy to drive. We just plugged into the wall at night - rotated the tires twice over 35k miles and that was it - just a great utility commuter car

[@andrewherrera2736]

My First Car was a 2005 Chevy Malibu LTZ V6 fully loaded leather and it was a ripper that V6 knows how to move not as quick as a V8 but for a first car it was great and fun until my second car came in and yeah she sat but she served me good and reliable

[@thomaslibonati]

With time you’ll get the right car for Nick. The car for your daughter was a super nice one! My first car was an 02 Mercedes S430 and it was a P.I.T.A. to maneuver as a first time driver. Couldn’t parallel park it for the life of me. LOL.

[@sonnyjohansson8028]

0:20 that 80s Saab to the right would be something to check out. you rarely see them here in sweden nowdays

[@valengreymoon5623]

Just a heads up, Hyundais with the 2.4 engine are not worth the trouble. They have major issues, especially with rod bearings. There's videos on the Car Wizard's channel explaining it.

[@dragos2010full1]

that q7 is a 3.0L v6 supercharged which makes 333hp stock and can be tuned with pulleys and and other parts to easily 500hp , it also seems to be fixable cheap since it only needs to be put back to togheter and replacing few things

[@kitt7219]

TY Randy. 👍

[@jessewynne8193]

Those Chevy BOLT are actually really cool and for some reason expensive! But they’re based off the VOLT which are hybrids and also hold their resale value.

[@aldairperez5464]

Randy, the paddle on the Bolt is for the regen braking. I don't exactly remember, but it either changes the regen braking sensitivity (low, medium, high), or if you press (and hold), it activates the regen braking.

[@TechMaster2133]

Grab a 90s corolla, Small, easy as hell to park, Fairly safe and cheap as hell to maintain for a 1st car, I just bought one with 251k on it from south Carolina for a grand and EVERYTHING works, just needs paint lol. Drives smooth and feels like a gocart! Getting 35mpg costs me $25 a week in gas lol.

[@hambone03]

You know him better than anyone else does

[@kadinzaofelune]

Hey Randy! Arkansas is the closest state to you that doesn't require parallel parking on the driver's test. Food for thought...😂

[@jessewynne8193]

That’s a factory color Toyota! My room mate has one in exact green it’s very rare! And Toyota is a way to go for reliability as long as the oil changes were done on years 07-2011

[@matthewhillis21-nm2yt]

That mini van was clean by the way,,hope your daughter will enjoy and I’m telling you nothing is better then a cheap Honda/Subaru,,wrx/sti for your son get him a legacy wrx or etc ;) maybe a civic he won’t be mad

[@Lane-jq3ed]

I agree with you on Land Rover....once the warranty is gone, you need to make it gone😅 so expensive to fix and overpriced as hell, but they are beautiful.

Take Nick on some of your walk arounds, to see witch one he will like

On the Audi Q7, right dipped headlight, is their term for letting you know the right headlight bulb is out.

Near the gran prix the red Mazda 3 aside from minor front damage seems nice! Easy front fix

I took my drivers test with a 1979 Ford Fairmont. Passed 😎😎👍👍

Bolt is a real good EV for little money. You can get 2017-2019 Bolts w low miles for 10k-12k. That's a good deal for any good late model used car.

[@lou6816pat]

My first was a 64 Buick Skylark four door.

[@zacharyquackenbush6324]

The first car was probably from a buy here pay here place. They usually put a tracker and starter interrupt on them. I know from personal experience

[@nv8176]

Your boy would love a mustang ecoboost for his 1st car , badass and only 300 hp😊

[@markparish5223]

That's gdi engine oil. I changed mine every 3500 miles, it always looked bad after about 1k miles. It was part of the recall and the engine popped at 70k miles under warrenty.

[@adrianowen6524]

Good walk around video randy im guessing nick gonna have a car soon then fair play to you for trying to find him a decent car and got not just giving him a piece of junk to got people to take the Micky your a decent step dad to nick and i cam tell he a good kid to man hope he gets a nice reliable car to i like nick he really does come across as a really good kid randy should have him out with you on some walk around videos or both of you helping one and other doing a vehicle content at A,A,R head quarters man!..✨💫✨👌✨👍

The Pearl Yellow/ Green Camary What Interesting But Kool Factory Toyota Color

Yea Randy I live near the Toyota plant in ky and I see that Color all the time so it’s original

Are you allowed to take him with you to a walk around? It would be cool to see his input and see if anything catches his eye that he likes

[@danielkern1110]

Good afternoon Randy I just got done watching your copilot walk around the bed. You posted this morning. Keep the contact coming for me and everybody else which I know you will. I hope you have a a wonderful wonderful day and I hope you find a great purchase for Nick then I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful evening. I’ll talk to you soon buddy see ya.

[@chrislemaster2695]

My first car was a Garnet Red 1988 Plymouth Sundance RS Turbo

[@jessewynne8193]

Wow people really got mad lol. Btw I loved my 2010 Hyundai 2.4l it had the timing chain and non GDI engine! Went 280k miles trouble free and women I sold it to 2 years ago is now at 340k miles just put its first radiator in it! But I hear after 2012 the GDI engines were part of Hyundais law suits for oil consumption issues. Anyone who drove 10k miles or more on oil changes Hyundai didn’t replace their engines free!

[@danieldiaz9502]

Gosh when I started driving I had to learn in my parents 1982 Chevy Monte Carlo and my Grandmas 1979 Ford Grenada, ahahahaha. That was in 1997, times I never forget. Ill never forget my 1st vehicle which was a 1985 S-10 Blazer white over blue 2.8 V6..

[@matthewhillis21-nm2yt]

Please get a wrx/sti..got the outback, scat pack, no need to be mean I love every video you come out with. Missing the Astro van.(it’s a Chevy) I try to stay updated

[@matthewhillis21-nm2yt]

Don’t end up on Kia boys. (Hyundai)

[@Chuckienycbx]

I like Nick. I was thinking the scat pack.😊

[@Xpr74]

Wow I think you should really consider the 23 Elantra for him it looks to be a really easy fix and it’s a brand new car

[@theadvocate4698]

A kia rio manual or a veloster with the 1.6 gdi would be a great cheap car for Nick...fun to drive too!

[@beckystaggs7116]

We got hit pretty good with a storm last night called a drencho we have had a couple tornado’s touchdown. Northern Illinois got hit pretty good to the point where about 7,300 people have no power. My cousin is one of them without power

[@Maidoumurnot]

Randy, looking at the bolt, I’m curious, does Oklahoma have a Clean Vehicle REBATE program? The state of Oregon does have a program where it doesn’t come off of your taxes so they actually send you a check if you buy a used plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle they also have a program where you can get an additional rebate if you buy a new vehicle that is electric or plug-in hybrid. That would be a great program for you if you were selling an electric vehicle to your customers..

[@FuvijanacKristijan]

That hybrid probably have safety system which tells car not to drive if something like hood or doors are open, that is my guess. :)

[@THAH0N3STCHANNEL]

8:38 is exactly what we had

[@haskellburks]

Good morning Randy. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is a good looking car. I wouldn't take a risk on it. The 2017 Range Rover Discovery is a good looking SUV with a little damage to the drivers side.

[@dragos2010full1]

that audi is a 3.0 v6 supercharged and tbh can be fixed cheaply with parts from ebay or pull a part

[@jessewynne8193]

That red car is a Hyundai ionic! Expensive battery hybrid car with battery pack under the whole bottom of the car! You press brake and hit the start for it t power up. No engine sound tho..I think someone run over something on highway or hit a pot hole and they total it out cuz they think the battery pack under it is destroyed. And battery packs cost more then then the car itself. I think some one drove over something so under carriage damage

[@thef150isstylish9]

that discovery has two keys the one u showed us is #1 and the other rectangle is behind under the steering dash

[@Captain_DeSync]

If you can get that Elantra actually functioning, I’m assuming it might need a system reset, then that would be the **perfect** car for nick. 58 ish MPG, really cheap and remarkably reliable. Oh and some of the best infotainment ever. Ah well, not sure lol.

Don't hate on the mini's just picked up a 2005 Mini Cooper S JCW...blast to drive.

[@marniehornsby8810]

What’s with all the cars with all the red wrapping on them?

[@carbuff81]

On that Elantra hybrid, I believe it wouldn't turn on because the hood was open, I had a Chevy Volt extended range car and the same thing happened, whenever I would pop the hood of the car the engine would turn off, something to do with high voltage in the engine compartment and not safe to be in the engine compartment with the car on, so it is a safety feature, I am pretty sure if you would have just closed up the hood on it, then it would have turned on and moved. And the reason for all the newer Hyundai's and Kia's with the missing antennas is because they are getting stolen, viral videos showing how easy it is to steal newer Hyundai's and Kia's. Insurance companies won't even give you insurance on them, I would stay away from them, either you will pay an arm and a leg for insurance or won't be able to get insurance at all. A Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla would be the perfect small starter car for your son, they are good on gas and reliable and cheap to repair and maintain.

[@blinkblink8748]
