ULTIMATE 4x4 Buyers Guide | ReDriven

[@paulkerr782]

And check the aircon - usually quite expensive to fix too.

[@rowannancarrow6919]

Great video. However I think a better understanding of what’s ok and fixable in older cars could be a good second video to this. Some of the items you said would be a walk away may see you never buying an older 4x4

[@ReDriven]

That’s a really great idea, Rowan. Thanks so much for commenting

[@jimzahora7819]

Had a jeep dealership try to sell me a 2021 jeep latitude lux with a bad PTU. Thankfully my mechanic that did the pre-buy inspection caught it and saved me $25 grand

[@indeepeterhopwood8106]

Receipts for work done also tells a story about the seller’s attitude. I had a person once bragging about having receipts for a new engine and transmission on a 4 year Hilux. I told him if you’ve wrecked an engine and transmission after only 100,000ks, I don’t want to to buy a car from you because it’s obviously been absolutely thrashed or never serviced.

[@melissabarrett9750]

Came very late to this one... Had to do a double take when Jim mentioned "munched out bushes" 😳🤔😂

[@mvubu6823]

You guys are gold. Phenomenal segments

[@ReDriven]

Thanks so much!

I just came across this channel today - very useful info presented very well. Great job guys!

[@ReDriven]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@76lorance]

Great video. I like all the tips given to us. Very well said.

[@chrisstratford9543]

Very informative, cheers guys 👍🏻 Any chance of some Ute based suv tests? Looking at a Pajero sport or Toyota fortuner

[@bouncingboxer]

@ReDriven Pajero Sport, Fortuner would be great additions to your cheat sheets or videos 🙏

[@Shadey485]

This is super helpful thank you!! So glad I stumbled on your chanel

[@ReDriven]

Glad to have you here! Welcome :)

[@mandysav294]

Thank you! Very informative and helpful

[@ReDriven]

Thank you!

[@julianhorniblow377]

Hey guys, this has been super helpful. Just have a question. On some 4x4’s I’ve seen recently there is loads of rust on the under carriage and in the wheel areas, but on others it’s way better and only rusty along the exhaust and/or drive shaft. Is rust there ok in a 4x4 that’s 10-15 years old, if the rest is really good? Cheers!

[@andrewtumusiime3773]

Great video but in africa many never keep records for servicing the car but probably looking out for the signs of damage and impact, and engine primarily.....

[@edyzoncolipano7106]

great video!! just wandering does MQ triton have alot of vibration on idle? ive just done a test drive.

[@edstraker8451]

How do we do a dpf check? Scan?

[@jonathanwishart9104]

All smoke is bad. Ever heard of starting a car in winter? My car always has white smoke when the weather is cold and/or it's been raining, and there is nothing wrong with my car.

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

I had an old XD falcon that would blow white smoke on start-up, but was fine once it got going. I think its sticky valves, which isn't the end of the world with old cars.

[@jonathanwishart9104]

@@lobsterwhisperer7932 True. In my case it's just rain/ condensation on the exhaust pipe.

[@melissabarrett9750]

It's almost always vapour from the components heating up, not smoke

[@Dalehogg89]

​@@lobsterwhisperer7932 bad valve stem seals. It allows oil to seep past while sitting

[@Zechariah340]

Hey guys, love the channel If it's possible could you guys maybe do a review on a used Ford Ranger Raptor?

[@ReDriven]

100% mate, it's in the planning as we speak. - AK

[@db2dba442]

How much would you expect to pay for a compression test?

[@aidanboyce258]

I wish I watched this video and didn’t jump into my purchase of n70 hilux spent all my hard earned money and more and ended up with a broken heart and empty wallet now getting rid of it still not perfect and never will be please listen to this video and never rush into a purchase like I did.

[@dieminion1626]

best way to get a mechanic to look at a 4wd for me?

[@NLJ1953]

What about the oil filler cap, fuming sludge isnt that checking 101

Plz do a pajero sport

[@MattBlack6]

Munched out bushes...

[@tiikboycanlaz7042]

Sir what are the tires size on that car?

[@kennethtaylor841]

I want a 4x41999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a in line 6. Fun now help me.

[@CrazyDolmar-io5mh]

Used car service history doesn't tell you how many accidents it has been in, how much the vehicle has been thrashed, etc. If you can afford to buy new you should especially when it comes to 4wds. Don't be the sucker that buys someone else's problems.

[@1objective688]

Munched-out bushes?!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Neo-RSA007]

Great now I know what I'll be saying when I sell my car 😊

[@the510wagon]

Great vid guys. Very thorough. Now more importantly....what's doing with the Datsun 1600?! L-series? SR20DET? FJ20ET? Z18ET? VQ? Modded? Stocker? Rally? Street car? Definitely needs it's own episode ;-)

[@ReDriven]

It's a secret project for upcoming episodes down the track Simon. We were just teasing you guys with it hovering in the background. - AK

Man if I listen to you guys I won't buy ANY car. You guys expect a perfect car

[@DonEdward]

I like all the hidden dirty jokes.

[@johnhannonHanno]

Never a Jeep but definately a Triton.

[@cbastien92]

Why should we check all of this as at the end they suggest to take it to a mechanic guy to see if everything is ok 🤦🏾‍♂️😅

[@flobajobalot]

because if there is something obviously wrong and you spot it you've just saved yourself some dollar and time

[@R0d_1984]

So nothing over 5 Y.O and/or under $35k ...Got it

[@battroman8965]

Lol munched out bush

[@operation4wheelz]

What can this Mitsubishi offer me over say, a unimog? Which I can also afford ...

[@ReDriven]

Nothing beats a Unimog! However parking a Unimog in a shopping centre, multilevel or underground carpark is near impossible and the freeway experience leaves a fair bit to be desired, all things the Triton does with ease. We are planning on doing a "Should you buy a used Unimnog" video soon. I'm immensely excited for it.

[@operation4wheelz]

@@ReDriven haha. Yep. They are no limos. And you can’t take them in a lot of national parks due to being a MR

[@ReDriven]

@@operation4wheelz Mate there's a Unimog that parks near my place and every time I drive past it I'm in awe!

[@micakingsea9031]

Note to self, buy brand new

[@valourboy]

Can bring my car to you guys

[@bek8303]

You think the sellers gonna tell the truth ?

[@Jackkgreenday]

Is it haunted 😂😂

[@melissabarrett9750]

It's useful info to have. I once hopped into the car of an acquaintance and within minutes had tightness in the chest and severe pain, hopped out for an hour or so, felt fine again and as soon as I was back in the car, the symptoms returned. Bad energy in a car can be at least as bad as bad energy in a building

[@boardingbear]

Zero rust is impossible when looking for an older, solidly built 4x4. Terrible take.

[@iamb2348]

At this rate you might as well buy a new car.

[@tobo26]

Thanks, but definitely not the "ultimate" guide, more like beginner at best.

[@ReDriven]

Thanks! Anything else you would have liked to have seen?
