In 2007 I bought a 2005 Audi TT 3.2L Quattro with DSG- returned from a lease by a woman driver with only 14k miles. It was $32k - little over half its original sticker. Absolutely beyond a doubt the best car I’ve ever owned. In 13 years of daily driving I’ve only ever had 2 repairs. A $45 brake light switch in year 2. And just recently it needed a new fuel pump. For maintenance it’s had 3 new sets of brake pads in 13 years, quite a few new tires, and just recently had new coils and plugs.... other than that, just oil, filters, and regular transmission and haldex service. The car looks as good as new, it’s interior is the best quality plastics and leather that still looks new despite being parked in the sun, and everything on the interior that looks like metal is actually real aluminum. The DSG transmission from 2005 has proven bulletproof. It gets 30 mpg because that torquey 6 allows it to shift into 6th at 35 mph. I know other Audi owners with similar experiences. I am sure that if my TT broke, it would be costly to repair, but I don’t care how costly it is to repair a car that almost never breaks. Besides... it’s the very best version of a truly iconic car- and fun as hell to drive. When it needs an engine rebuild and transmission overhaul, I would far rather spend 8 grand on that than buy some new piece of crap car.

Everything felt premium and quality, until the master cylinder and the MMI console went and it costed close to 10 grand to fix. The Audi was my mom's dream car and she bought the car used, but she didn't have the money to maintain it. Unless you're a specialized mechanic, you should probably buy an Audi brand new rather than used. The car is well built, but it is expensive when a part breaks.

Scotty mentioned the 240DL. I bought one used in college with 100k miles. I immediately drove it on spring break from Ann Arbor to Key West. The car is heavy and the engine is underpowered but it ran forever. Had a tough time making it through the Kentucky mountains and had to downshift to make it up the hills. The car is a big hunk of heavy steel and lasts forever. Volvos are known however to have electrical problems that can be frustrating. My 240DL was a manual with an electronic button on the knob to shift into overdrive. That had to be repaired multiple times. Eventually I gave the car to my brother who drove it through college and he gave the car to his brother in law years later.

Scotty(and others), Have you ever thought about the cost of leasing vs. the cost of ownership? It is almost identical. Example: Let's take the average "low mileage" lease on an Audi today- 2019 A6 quattro: 479/month for 39 months+ $4974 due at signing= $23,655.00. That is ONLY for highly qualified people(in other words-rich). Are you telling me you think you will lose more than that if you owned it for more than 3-1/4 years? Car manufacturers came up with leasing as just another way for poor people to pretend they have money. As far as I can figure, they actually make more from leasing than they do from selling.

Here is an idea. Buy a 3 year old off lease for 50% of MSRP. Keep it for another 3-4 years. Then sell it for 25%-30% of MSRP. It is not costing you that much. These cars are pretty reliable before 80k-100k miles.

The comparative of diesel powered vehicles in the US vs Aus is interesting. Toyota recently stated they will no longer be selling the Landcruiser range with petrol powered V8 in Australia as the twin turbo diesels outsell the petrol 15 to 1. And the future of petrol powered Hilux range is also under a cloud as the turbo diesel again outsells the both the 4 and V6. Always great vids Scotty. Greetings from Woomera, South Australia 👍👍🇦🇺

Comments on servicing. I have a 2004 Avalon and now am driving less than 4,000 miles a year in an urban area. It is counter intuitive that these are extremely rough driving conditions. It means doing early changes of fluids and not relying upon Toyota's service recommendations. You can calculate values. What is the sales tax, first year registration, and increased insurance costs of a 2020 Avalon? Or what is the price of putting in the questionable replacement transmission in a 2004 Avalon? Now compare either value to the cost of replacing all the fluids in a 2004 Avalon!

The cost to replace the radiator and other parts to repair it were far more than the car was worth. It was virtually worthless and he had to get rid of it. He got a 2010 Audi wagon to replace it.

[@dimab8753]

If you know how to turn wrench around don’t be afraid to buy used German cars like Mercedes, WV or Audi, stay away from BMW. I have 2006 S class with 60k miles and no issues, just regular maintenance. And the comfort of that car will beat any new Honda, Toyota, you name it.

[@devongee1776]

Scotty the type of guy to have a Lexus in his driveway calling luxury buyers stupid

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

Yeah but he paid only 3G's for an '02 Lexus with 60k miles...Luxury car for a beater price...

[@devongee1776]

@@TornadoOfSouls777 Yeah but I doubt he's the only one of 350M people in our country finding good deals on nice cars. Even if they were paying MSRP, people have different values and 1 short life to live. I wouldn't call anybody stupid for having at least one real nice car in their lifetime if that's something they feel they want.

[@jgg204]

most versatile vehicle today.... the 2012 RAV4. you can buy ones with really low mileage for ~ $10,000. they come with full size spare, they are more cargo room than the new ones, you can even get a 3rd row seat for them, the ground clearnce is more than the new ones, and it still has the 4x4 lock mode under 25mph.

The last time i was here this early Mercedes made reliable luxury cars.

[@Monster33336]

Lincoln town cars were reliable. They'd run 500k+ miles. The only indestructible luxury vehicles.

They did, back in the 80's.

[@lsugambler]

I own a Ford Escape, got 210,000 miles on it, besides paying for the usual repairs, the escape has been more than reliable, no major repairs. I buy a used Mercedes E Class for a good price with 70,000 miles on it. I get to 90,000 miles and the Mercedes while I’m driving starts to misfire and is literally shutting down on me while on the highway. It was a pretty scary situation, I live in Houston, and when your vehicle starts shutting down on 45 in the middle of rush hour is pretty scary. Had to change the spark plugs and a few other things for 1,800$. Now the radio has started shutting off and on while I drive. For Mercedes Benz been disappointed

[@user-og6vd6fc9l]

Scotty buy a luxury car already, you’re not going to live forever

[@ilovetotri23]

I bought a 2009 Kia Optima in 2012. I put 200,000 miles on it before selling it for $2400. It had 24,000 miles when I got it. It ran completely trouble free all those miles, had advanced enough technology to save my life several times. It did have some major design flaws, however the new 2017 Honda CRV I bought to replace it has design and manufacturing problems.

[@Scuba_Bro]

Maybe it’s because I just maintain and repair my own cars but I’ve had amazing luck with BMW and Mercedes cars (used even).

[@OzSaudarna]

Scuba Bro nah for real. Especially with Mercs, I’ve found if you maintain it, they are extremely reliable... wish I could say the same for BMW though

[@papikabi]

I have a 2012 Kia Forte 5 SX. Hyundai honestly went up in quality since their timing belt days. Maintence is cheap and easy on these cars.

[@slam44]

Hey Scotty Love your channel, but you’re wrong about this. I’ve driven German cars for the last 50 years. My experience is that they are much more reliable than most other cars. I’ll grant you that Toyotas and Hondas are very well-built and probably simpler in many cases, but there’s no way that the driving experience is worth that slight difference for me. Also, German cars are like any other cars. If you take care of them they will take care of you. Japanese are probably better at making cars for people that don’t take care of their cars.

[@faubourglincoln]

SLAM he’s a hater and an ignorant. The thing he doesn’t understand about German cars is that 90% of the first owners of these cars don’t plan to keep them more than 4 years so they really don’t care about taking care of the car. It will be sold or exchanged by a newer model. So the second buyer will not get a well maintained vehicle. Most of old german cars are super reliable when they were owned by one owner. A Kia or Honda owner on the other hand will take care of his car since day 1 like if it was his son. Sorry for my broken English, it’s only my 4th language.

[@g.t.7726]

SLAM what is the average mileage you make with one car and how long do you have it before you get rid of it?

[@nosoupforyou425]

The other side..... Paid 86k for my Mercedes in 2002, now have 190k miles on it, KBB is between 30-35k. Only basic maintenance performed; oil changes, brakes/rotors. That is the opposite of an endless money pit!

[@Lovetrucking]

I had a Toyota Corolla for 10 years, it was affordable at the time a got it , brand new. Was it a good car - not really. It wasn’t breaking ( falling apart) every month but it was uncomfortable, tough ride. It offered nothing. It didn’t even have a Bluetooth ( 2009 model) Finally decided to make a change, gave it to my wife and got almost brand new BMW X3 2019 The difference is like day and night. You get what you pay for. I have all the luxury I want, it’s amazing ride, it’s functional, it’s beautiful car. Yes, it cost a bit more than the Corlolla but it’s well worth. I’m not worried about something going to break , every car breaks at some point , that’s why people invented warranty. I got extended 8 year (80000 mile ) for less than $2000. And why is he talking always about “ losing value “ ? Any car loses value , some faster than others, but it all depends. It’s about what the car offers you. And by any means, neither Toyota or Lexus 🙄 for that matter can offer anything better than BMW or Mercedes or Audi for that matter. Germany mr mechanic from Texas has tradition in engineering, and it doesn’t matter how much you bad mouthing them , they are still better 😀

[@VIJER47]

Scotty, What do you think about the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek/Forester/Legacy? Thanks.

[@rayathasan3197]

owned 2 audis a 2004 A6 , only lock issues but works well for 4 years then got a 2016 A6 , not any problems after almost a year

Scotty just green lit the low mileage Chrysler 300 purchase. Nice

[@AlexQuiroz2827]

Low mileage is always good.

[@guylarabie8229]

I bought a 9 year old Mercedes S class V8 coupe 68,000 miles for one tenth the price the original owner paid. It's a summer week end car and it's costing me about $1,000 per year to keep it on the road. So far, I'm not unhappy with my purchase. I feel sorry for the guy who spent $ 140,000 originally.

[@elvatoloco214]

Hey Scotty my neighbor is selling his 2004 Lincoln Town Car should I buy it? And Are they reliable vehicles?

[@EMichaelBall]

Yeah they're pretty good cars. Only real concerns are a) RWD-only makes it a bad car for harsh winters; b) the rocker window switches aren't great for kids left in there with the accessories or engine on; and c) if you don't quickly fix any engine misfire, it'll blow the cat. Otherwise, there's not much that can go wrong with those. Have a mechanic you trust look it over before buying, of course.

[@EndPoliceBrutailty]

Thank you for this information! I can sleep better knowing that my 6 year old Subaru is most likely going to have fewer problems thana my '06 had. I still have no idea what that old Subaru's issues were, nor did the mechanic. What I do know is that car lost power on acceleration if I had come to an abrupt stop. And the acceleration was very choppy and I'd have to press the gas over and over, up and down to get enough juice to go. Otherwise, the engine would just rev as if it was in neutral. Wish I knew what the problem was so I can keep a good eye on my '17. Thanks for all your great videos!

[@JokerPoker5RP]

Scotty said that A CHRYSLER MIGHT LAST!? He said that a HEMI is a VERY good engine? wow... makes me feel good about my 19 Scatpack lol

Off lease Hyundai for $4-6k with 36k miles is compelling. Brand new for $14k w/100k warranty is as well, my Accent had the engine go under the recall at 95k but now I have all new engine trans and exhaust! Compared with my cousin who has spent $5k replacing the PTU on his Edge TWICE, still under 100k.

[@zionstuart1927]

If your German car falls apart odds are it wasn't made in Germany

[@YourPoint1981]

TZT exactly. My Audi is a diesel from Germany. No issues

[@ricardomierz8467]

Ya, das is right.. Our German society cares about quality, yours doesn't... When the new Mercedes cargo vans came out, nobody wanted the look alike Dodge Sprinters, they wanted the real deal Mercedes, that were made in Germany... But in the end both are rust buckets, but the Mercedes has better rust.

[@wojtekspc]

Not true, most German cars except few VW or BMW are made in Germany that they sell in USA, I had one of those German made VW and is was the worst POS I've ever had, always at the dealership. Lucy for me I've trader the car before warranty ran out.

[@jetstream454]

@@ricardomierz8467 Better rust 😂😂😂

[@jetstream454]

@@wojtekspc Most BMWs are either made in Germany or made to their strict standards. Can't say the same for their "affordable" SUV line which are made in USA and had teething issues at introduction. I guess it's not as bad as MB's first batch of US cars (ML class etc) 😂

[@p12jacob]

If you like volvo 240s but want a more modern car, just get the 740 or the 940 instead. Its very similar to the 240 and still very reliable but more modern and also it has better rust proofing than the 240.

Well people knock BMW but i have to say it's the best car i have ever owned. My 10 year old Z4 E89 owned for 7 years, 83k miles, only niggles was condensate in the tail lights, lose connector on the window switches and the roof stopped so i replayed the relays £15 each and working fine. Always passes the annual inspection. Gone are the days of failing because the hand brake doesn't work properly, ball joints worn out, gaiters splitting, leaking radiators, holed exhausts, corrosion holes. I am happy. Not like the Triumph TR7 or Mazda RX7 i owned....
