[@kjisnot]

What I have found is buying something like a 5 year old or less Lexus is a good idea to consider since it was probably on average maintained better than a similar Toyota. They often get traded in for another new Lexus and those dealers sell the trade in at dealer auctions. Then they wind up on used car lots somewhere else. A Carfax type report will clue you in to that kind of history. Typically wealthier people buy them as new cars and let the dealers do all of the maintenance. They don't skimp if repairs are needed since cost is not a concern. I think you will find they are also in better cosmetic condition. In addition to some luxury you will probably get newer and better features. You just have to be careful not to pay too much like anything else.

[@khakiswag]

I had an Acura and I learned that even though it’s nothing more than a upgraded Honda it costs way more to fix than a Honda when it does break. Same thing for Toyota/Lexus.

I own an '08 Civic EX. No problems since I have owned it. There was a recall for the passenger airbag. Make sure that recall work was accomplished before you buy.

[@superteamvideo1930]

I had a 1992 Civic for 16 years for 235,000 hard mostly city miles. I thought it was the greatest car...until I drove a crappy Corolla, which was faster and quieter, and then a Camry, which was so quiet, I thought the Honda was a bucket of rattling bolts. When I got my first real job after college, I promised myself something nice and reliable...a Lexus. Even though I've had many cars since then (BMW, Volvo, MB, every shape Toyota), only the Lexus comes to mind as the forever car. We don't live forever, but sure as heck, I rather drive a nicer, quieter, more powerful, and safer car.

Bought a 2010 Lexus gs350 in 2017 with 80k miles on it for $17k . It’s been the best vehicle we ever had. Got 125,000 miles on it now and no issues whatsoever (thank God) . We took a chance buying it with higher miles but it’s solid as a rock. I never had really looked into Lexus before and just thought they were really expensive rear wheel drive cars. Ours is all wheel drive which is what sold us on the car cuz we live in the snow belt. We thought about upgrading to a newer Lexus (RX 350) but don’t want any car payments now. The Lexus replaced my 2005 Nissan maxima that had 220,000 miles on it before it went. I was driving over 3 hours to work and back a day and needed a good car. We are now both retired and not putting hardly any miles on our vehicles. I have a 2011 Nissan maxima sv that’s fully loaded with only 71,000 miles on it and I barely run it. We usually take my wife’s Lexus. They are amazing cars.

[@michaelhavnaer8578]

There's a cheaper workaround for EV batteries. Find someone to replace whichever cell is bad. A Prius has about 5 cells which are pretty common. If only one cell is out, the car won't go. Dealer will charge you $4K to replace the whole battery, but battery cell repair costs about $300/Cell. Replace one or two cells, for $600 and you get back on the road relatively cheap for another 50K miles.

He always giving Nissan a hard time, but I've had 3 of them, and all three have been great cars.

[@michaelroark8920]

@bcobb7777 i got a 13 Altima also and never had any trouble. My daughter even accidentally put diesel in it one day lol. Its got over 200000 on it now and other than spark plugs I've never touched the engine.

[@seanmachado7681]

Scotty...I'm still driving a 2004 chevy tracker v6 (a suzuki vitara in drag hiding behind a chevy badge) with 240k miles on it. It's not pretty. It's not fancy. But NO major work done on it and it fires right up. Suzuki did something right.

[@steventuvman3449]

Hi Scotty I love your videos, thanks for giving straightforward advice we can use. Question, I have a 4th generation Nissan Max, love my car it's been GREAT and Runs Great and still looks great. Have kept my car up well and driven it very well. Lately my gas mileage has not been where it should be . Changed Mass Air flow sensor, fuel filter and NGK platinum tipped spark plugs ( have changed before) have had to to replace only one ignition coil ( should I go ahead and replace the remaining five ? Please advise to improve gas mileage . Thanks as always . Car has approx. 135 K miles on it.

0:47 He was about to say Nissan but said Infinity. Lol

[@kaohsiung99]

It's the same company....

[@markiangooley]

Guess: Lexus IS made in Japan... let’s see if I’m right

[@pauldelasco]

Small % made in Japan make it to US market from what I understand.

[@yodamaster757]

Paul Delasco CPS - They’re only made in Japan.

[@rufusade4294]

Well mine says assembled in Japan 🇯🇵

[@janetyeoman1544]

A Toyota plant in Ontario makes them also. They competed for top quality awards to be picked.

[@thivakarsaravanamuthu4744]

The lexus IS we're all made in Japan till 2012

[@dnc7692]

No matter what your car Brand question is / Scotty's answer is T O Y O T A! Love the videos, Scotty!

[@allanriley4070]

I have a 96 accord, still running strong at 220k miles.

[@superteamvideo1930]

The old accords were better. I think that is the spaceship one.

[@germaine2009]

YOU ARE THE BEST! Thanks for helping this girl learn about cars and not get taken advantage of!

I always liked the smell of diesel. I think it comes from when I was a little kid my dad having a Datsun 4×4 pickup. I don't know if anyone of ya'll can relate to liking the smell of diesel.

[@kopfschuss881]

I bought any 07 civic si recently. Its a lot of fun. Thats about the time shocks and stuff start going on them. Get your Jacks out x)

[@1ZZT223]

Hey Scotty, I hope you’re staying well. I have a 2002 Toyota Celica with the 1zz automatic and I was wondering if there was any power gains I can get or if I should get a 2002 Lexus GS300 instead with the 2JZ?

[@mkrbrkr]

My issue with the Lexus versions is the mushy suspension. A GX460 compared to a 4runner is like night and day. The GX handles like a boat- mushy, slushy, and way too smooth for an SUV. I feel like Lexus killed all the 'trucklike' feel to make them more sellable to luxury drivers. I sold the GX in 3 months and got another 4runner.

My 2005 Prius battery went out after the 10 year warranty. I just went to a junkyard and bought a 2014 battery for $850. C'mon Scotty, not 7 or 8 thousand bucks. Even a new battery from Toyota is just $1950.

[@wholeNwon]

On line listed at 2200-2600 without installation.

[@AmericanFUBAR33]

Scotty convinced me on the RX 350, just got the L version today, best car I ever drove.

[@charlescarey337]

Scotty thank you for everything. God bless you.

[@zbigniewbagadzinski4730]

Scotty , I am retired and looking for the new ( old car ) . What do you think about Lexus LS460 ( 2015-2017 ) or RX350 AWD ( 2017-2020 )? Thank you , Ziggy

[@COYGunners]

Newer Suzukis are great. I totally understand why they left the US but if u’re somewhere else in the world Suzukis are pretty decent and with the Boosterjet engines fun to drive.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Greentech auto $2.1K all new battery cells installed last time I had one done. If you drive 25k miles a year or live out of your hybrid you can justify the cost of owning a hybrid .

[@1010chris]

Scotty! I need a diesel truck to tow 12k lbs and above. Which one should I get? Need a work truck. I'm good with my hands and I do most of my own repairs and suspension work. THANKS!

[@dazlamparas6810]

Scotty, What do you think about a 2013 Toyota Avalon XLE Hybrid with 37K Miles. Is it a good hybrid car to buy?

[@giorodriguez8221]

I just love this guy

[@HR-wd6cw]

I just looked at the resale value on a 2012 Focus SE Hatchback (which I had 8 years ago). Those things do NOT have very good resale value (any of them, the 2012 to 2016 or whenever they stopped making them). I saw about $6,000 resale value. Those things started about $18,000 new with an automatic. That's about 1/3 of it's original value. Most other cars wouild be worth about half of what they were new 8 years later, but not those Fiestas or Focuses because of the transmissions. Heck, they're worth about the same as a gently used 2010-2011 Focus (which was the previous body style and engine/trans combo). Glad I traded mine in when I did. Yeah I lost about $5,000 on the trade (paid about $20k for mine) but glad I didn't keep it, because it would have been worth, well, $6000 at most now and likely would have had to sink about $2000 in it for a replacement transmission or clutches had I kept it (although Ford did have a settlement on the DCT transmissions, but since I traded mine, I couldn't claim any damages--payouts--from Ford). (FYI, the warranty on those Focuses and Fiestas was 5yrs/60k on the transmission). Now maybe they extended the warranties to 100k but I didn't kep mine long enough to find out (I traded mine in with 27k after 18 months).
