I had a brand new 2011 Hyundai Elantra that saved my life. A girl hit me from the driver side hard and I also was told that I'd have been killed if the frame hadn't been built so well and the car wouldn't have had air bags and seat belts. The air bag knocked me unconscious. I suffered a dislocated shoulder, a fractured rib and a punctured lung but I'm still alive to tell about it. I shudder to think what it would've been like if this had been in the 1950s when they had no safety devices in the cars!! Somewhere on KZfaq there is a crash test between a 1959 Chevy and a 2016 Chevy The newer Chevy absorbed the crash and the test dummy was not torn up. But the 1959 Chevy the test dummy had the steering column pierced through its chest and it was quite a mess.

Also replaced lower control arms and exhaust manifold gasket Engine was replaced at 150k, I'm guessing it became an oil burner. Hoping to upgrade to a 2017 Camry soon though.

@@Megatron995 battery clamp brackets are pretty common items, along with bumper brackets, bumper retainer strips, stabilizer bar brackets, wheel opening brackets. A lot of things you don't see unless there are repairs from a accident. There are right and left side parts and interestingly enough, vehicles must get hit on the driver's side more often because I ship more of those parts. What's funny is I'll look up the parts on eBay and if they have a picture of the part in the bag with the bar code sticker I can tell by the Julian date when it was made by me.

Yes!!! I love my 2006 Camry. Yes, the clear coat will peel. The trunk smells moldy, but no leaks. The headliner will start to fall. Hands down this is the best Camry ever. I love this generation! A lot of car buyers are looking for this generation, but owners are keeping them.

I don’t remember when was the time my dad passed his Camry to me, and he told me that, when this car breaks down, he will buy me a brand new mustang, now I am 27 and just have had a baby, I am planning to pass this Camry to her, so I can buy other one

Scotty i got a 2001 Corolla CE for the wife to drive. She's just learning so we bought from a friend for 1200CND just have to replace the sway bar which costed 143CND and the struts are not the best but the engine oil was changed regularly. Checked the ATF it's red and not dark so it's still pretty new. Runs and shift perfect I should have had one of these before saves me a lot of money on gas and repair

I love the 7th Gen Accord. They're great fun to drive and the interior quality is great. I have an 8th Gen Accord [2008] and the plastics used in the Interior feel really cheap, like the Early 2000s Civics, and they're not as fun to drive as the 7th Gen. And weirdly the 7th Gen's seats are more comfortable.

I love my '02 camry! Japanese built neglected by previous owners, bought it for $2k with 200k mi., no leaks and doesn't burn oil. And runs well after performing all the routine maintenance & flushing all the fluids. Owned it for 3yrs, changed the oil every 5k mi. Ironically, my steering wheel squeaks the same way😆😆😆 It's the best daily driver I've ever owned.

I totally agreed. I bought this car $1800 in 2017 with 182k miles. I used it for delivery & I added 63k miles in one year making it 245miles. I sold it for $1500 even with a dental in the trunk. This car can run forever the only thing I did was oil change every 3weeks because I was driving 5k miles in every 3weeks.

2002/2003 were bad years for engine head bolts stripping and falling out and then you have to spend a couple grand on new heads or a rebuilt engine! 2007-2009 were bad years for VVT system failures along with massive oil leaks that were expensive to fix! The best years were 1997-2001, 2004-2006, 2010 and newer! I picked out a 2.4 liter 2006 SE trim, which comes with upgraded suspension and 4 wheel ABS disk brakes, for my aunt with 170,000 miles and it's an excellent car!

Hey, that tip about dealers presenting lot cars as owner sales while meeting at a public place instead of a home is a real eye-opener. In Nevada, it's illegal to sell at an empty lot. It must be done at a residence. I guess this is why. I would love to see you share your knowledge about scams in a separate video. That one alone is something I had never heard of, nor even conceived could happen.
