Pre-2000 Nissan's were pretty good. Too bad they aren't so anymore. Also lucky that somebody thought about putting that external pump on that car. Most people don't think of the long term implications. They'd just sell it and make it someone else's problem. Sold a 99 Sentra in 2005. Still on the road 250k miles or so... 2015 Note, 75k and barely limping along. A class action suit and an extended warranty isn't doing much good.

It's illegal to void a warranty for doing your own oil changes due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.

@rays7437 5 жыл бұрын

True but you do have to keep valid documentation. It's too bad people refuse to read their owner's manuals and warranty booklets which tell them these things

I work for a warranty company and run into this often. We only accept invoices from a shop that show date, mileage, yr, make, model, etc. People want to send in O’reillys receipts showing where oil and a filter were bought ... how do I know it was for that specific car in question? How do I know the date and mileage? Those receipts mean nothing to us.

@gregrowe1168 5 жыл бұрын

If you do your own work, you have to keep EVERY receipt. Just one oil change and you lose the receipt and bang your warranty is invalid. And have to do everything the owner's manual says to do at the recommended intervals.

I bought my 94 Opel Astra F for 500 euros (roughly 500 dollars) and have been driving it for 4 years without any serious problems. I've had to fix a few (non-)issues with the suspension (in order to pass the mandatory vehicle inspection) a year ago but other than that I've7 had to not do anything to it except oil changes and some rust repair. It has almost 300 000 kilometers on it and I've driven almost 70 000 km of it. Best purchase I've ever made. I propably keep it as long as it breaks completely and buy a new 500 euro rust bin. The timing belt will propably snap soon but I don't bother changing it. When it snaps I propably try to fix the timing myself. If it's too much work I will just tow it to a junk yard.

I replaced a whole lot of things myself, thanks to Scotty's videos (and others on youtube, but Scotty is my "go-to" youtube mechanic.

I had a 92 Toyota Camry I bought for around $2,000. I bought it for my daughter, she drove it, had it for a few years and after she got married her and her husband sold it. I think they sold it for around $1,600. It was in very good shape, but the air conditioning didn't work because the condenser was broken and it wasn't worth replacing, value-wise. They were kind of surprised they got that much for it. A father bought it for his high school son, if I remember correctly.

Chrysler seems to get a bad rap from a lot of people, but I've loved the three vans that I've had. I had a '94 Voyager bought used and I put 100K miles on it, traded it for an 01 Grand Caravan that had 10K on it and I put over 100K on it, traded it for a brand new 2011 Grand Caravan that I've put over 40K on so far. Never had engine or transmission problems with any of them, none burned any oil. Only fixes on the older ones were a rear window wiper motor on one and a power window motor on the other, and I installed those myself.

I always wonder how people got rid of their car once it was nearing junk status. I keep reading of people using cheap cars like disposable cars. Do you just donate them to get rid of them one it's near junk status? If this is the case what condition will the car have to be in for a charity to accept the vehicle?

Dear Scotty, I needed a plow truck so I took your advise on what trucks not to buy and bought a 1988 Ford Bronco with the 5.0 V8 and it already had a western plow on it that worked great. It isn't an F150, but close enough. It needed the ignition actuator replaced (what a pain) and it needs rear brakes. The truck only has 125K miles on it and it runs strong and shifts great. It does have a couple rot holes in the floor, but the body is nice and has original paint. I plan on cutting out the rot and patching the floors. Everyone overlooked this truck on craigslist because it was way too old and in Massachusetts where rust is king, but I may use it for a third vehicle as well as just a plow rig as it is in amazing shape for something this old. I probably wouldn't have looked at this truck if it wasn't for your video on what the best used trucks to buy are. Even if it never sees the road it will make a strong running plow truck for my property and it's fun to mess around with.

Got my 91 Ford Tempo for free. It sat for 4 years, some simple maintenance, new battery, fresh fuel, new tires, and a CV axle and its been running fine for the past year, just did its 1st tune-up, yes 1st tune-up in 28 years this afternoon. For a 28 year old car it runs and drives great, gets mid 20's for fuel economy in town and mid 30's for fuel economy on the highway...and that's without an electronically controlled transmission and no overdrive, yes a 3 speed automatic, and a 2.3L 4 cylinder engine...even many of today's cars have a hard time getting any decent fuel economy with twice as many gears, and full of electronics to supposedly help with economy. So yes you can find pretty decent cheap cars if you look hard enough and not afraid to do a little routine maintenance which is what many older vehicles are lacking....granted the paint on my car isn't that great, it has never been wrecked, a few very small scratches and dents here and there but for a 28 year old car its in pretty good shape, if the typical 80's paint/clear coat problems don't sway you away. It runs and drives great, I could care less that the clear coat is gone....its just basically a flat red color without the clear coat LOL.
