i have a 2003 toyota sienna with 1 million miles
Scotty, have you thought of just opening a junkyard and showing off your cars? Kind of like a Jay Leno's Garage.
Snowing?
I have a 2016 Ford fusion, titanium, 2.0 turbo. I recently got an alignment and basically have new tires, balanced and rotated. But I still get a whomp whomp sound when driving, it speeds up as I speed up. 106,000 miles
Any thoughts, I'm in Houston also
Can you come to San Antonio, Texas? I have a 2000 Toyota Solara SLE 4 cylinder bought for $200 from a single mom
I want Scotty's energy at least once in my lifetime.
you would freak your friends.....
@@linanicolia1363 haha you're right
I own a 2000 Sienna… $1400.00, 2 years ago. Came in from N Carolina; 300,000 miles- I put 1000 miles on it every week. Listen to Scotty, he’s got the truth!
Not the doonie van!! 😂😂
I just bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey with 225K miles for $2100. This vehicle is the high-end with power, leather seats, split temp controls (R, L, front & back), entertainment system with DVD player in the back, and a towing bar attached in the back. It was hesitating while shifting, so I took it to a transmission specialist who drove it and then ran computer diagnostic tests. He said the problem was that the computer controlling the shifting needed to be reset. He reset the computer, and it drives beautifully. Quite a bargain!
Wow!
Toyota and Honda baby!
Who else thinks Scotty is the best?
We love him. He’s so precious to us. !! He’s very honest.
@@harveyhankerson8359 Very true
👍🏼😃
My Dad died, he was a mechanic. I feel like Scotty tells me what my Dad would have. I trust him for sure cause he's a straight shooter.
Quality!
Ive owned my 2000 red Sienna for 17 years. 144,000 miles on it. Minnesota, like the one in the video. Every time i drive it i love the smooth ride, trips to the landscape nursery, loading my bike etc. Everyone wants to buy it but it's an old friend that i CANT sell!!!
Whoever saves me money is my friend. Thank you Scotty
Scotty is the inventer of a new genre of literature--- car narrative. I never miss his shows. Greetings from Nigeria.
Hi from canada
Like reading the book, very loud.
@@teresacorrigan3076hello from Nigeria
Scotty is right, this sienna and the 98's Camry are the 2 most reliable daily driver cheap vehicles you can find.
At any price
the sienna at a certain year or???
My 99 camry completely fell apart in 14 years and 150k miles. 99 BMW feel apart in 18 years with 140k mikes. 99 Mercedes e320 still going strong today after 25 years and 228k miles.
I love scotty because he saves me money.
And he’s cute
And he saves the EV economy! 🚗🔋
Saves it for what?
He saved a lot of money hauling his kids in a Toyota Celica. His son is still traumatized and bought a great minivan.
@@_kool_kat_Electric vehicles come and go every decade. The first ones I remember we're the electric mail Jeeps. The billboards had a picture of them with blinking headlights with the caption under the mail jeep saying, "Changing the post office today and tomorrow the world." I doubt one can even find one running today.
So glad that I found your channel a year or so ago! Retired early as a professional mechanic, mostly in the landscape nursery field, but still work on my own when the need arises. I don't have many gear-head friends so hearing you talk makes me feel like I'm back in the shop! Thanks Scotty!
My wife can’t stand Scotty’s voice and hand signals ,but I just love him ,unfortunately I have to use my ear plugs so I’m glad right now that she is at work. Keep it up Scotty
hes the gilbert godfrey of the auto industry
No hate to your wife or choice in women but it sounds like she's boring and hates fun.
My husband gets tired of him too because I’m playing Scotty videos at least every day sometimes before I go to bed at night
Scotty is the man!!!!!
His voice repulses females 🤷♀️
Mr Scotty, my husband started listening to you years ago and I got pulled in because my 17 year old son is looking for a good solid car. I sure do appreciate the time you take to make these videos fun an engaging 😊
Did u get him a minivan
omg - thank you for this video! it popped up on my feed a few minutes ago and couldn't have come at a better time! i bought a 2000 Toyota Sienna today! it's even the same color as the one in your video. i got it for $800! it's in great shape for it's age and mileage of 240,xxx. a very smooth and quiet ride. i was pretty shocked by how 'right' it felt on the road for a 23 yr old vehicle with so many miles. almost talked myself out of buying it and into believing there just had to be something wrong that i wasn't seeing. but to be honest, i've been without a car for over a year and would have welcomed a wagon and team of horses and been grateful for it. after watching this video i'm now as confident as i can be that i made the right decision. thanks again!
I make 150k a year and I never buy anything over 2500$ . Love old Toyotas and Hondas
Same spirit here.
You're my idol.
My best car ever was a Mercedes e420 1995. Paid $2,000 drove it for about 40,000 mi and then sold it.
Should not have sold it..
@@mylittlepitbull3143 I have a 2003 honda accord exl 2.4l 5speed manual . Very cheap to fix ... still looks good
get urself a nice audi. promise youll see why its expensive. so nice.
@@giinks I only drive German
I love you Uncle Scotty, the coolest mechanic there ever will be ❤
Man, I would kill to have a reliable vehicle like that for less than 5 grand! How are people finding cars that cheap?! Like geez, why does it even have to be so complicated to get a car?😾
they aren't gems like that are 1 in 100,000...used cars are stupidly expensive right now.
It helps if you know how to work on cars. Then you get things called a mechanics special. My first car was a 95 Geo Metro with 150k on it (pretty late in life for those) that I paid 300 bucks for. Guy couldn't get it to run and just wanted it gone. I bought it, basically just gave it a tune up, cleaned out the fuel system and fixed the heater switch and bam. I'd still have it today if I didn't get basically forced to sell it.
I just bought a 2004 Sienna with 180k miles for $3500. It ain't pretty but it'll snatch me around.
Just get a Honda Civic or accord . 5k for a car is not that much, Save 8k and you’ll get a fine car
I love my crown Vic . The one car that can be used for anything. They last a very long time and cheap parts.
I have a 2000 pushing 260,000 miles still running strong as can be. Bought it for $700 four years ago and put 500 into it that’s about it love it love it love it.
700 four years ago, today you would have paid probs 2.5k for it.
Scotty! Been a fan for a few years now. I had to write a paper in a critical thinking class about rhetoric. I wrote an essay on the goat Scotty Kilmer and how your rhetoric pushed me to buy a solid reliable car and save money as a result. Thought I’d share, it had me laughing as I was writing it. Thank you for your everything man
What a honor
Sounds like an interesting paper.
I hope you got an "A" 😊🚗🚘🚙🛻
Scotty is a national treasure ❤
I have a 1995 Toyota Camry my Dad gave it to me when he bought it brand new now it has 400 thousand miles on it and stills runs like champ. 👍
I have a 1999 Sienna XLE with about 215000 miles, that I bought 5 years ago when it had 175k. The previous owner drove it very little and had it sitting for 8 months before I bought it. A few things had to be replaced but all in all a great vehicle. I live in NW Minnesota, where temps have gotten to 45 below and this vehicle works like a charm.
After watching this, I decided to look online for used Siennas for sale. I found one near Toledo with 405,000 miles on it! For $4,391!! I have a hunch that, as soon as Scotty posts a positive video about a vehicle, sellers raise their price on that vehicle. Lol.
As soon as saw this video, I said OH NO!!! Scotty is driving up the prices! Gee Whiz!
@@PistachiosPurses My thought, exactly!
Snow in summer? Lol, he must have a backlog of videos. I really wanted one of these vans, but ended up getting a really good deal on a 2007 Odyssey 🤷♂️ also a good van
Just watch the transmission and timing belt.
Vehicle prices in Canada are certainly crazy. A 1500$ car five years ago is $3500 today at least
The car prices go up in Australia look like the same in Canada ( $2000 car five years ago is $4500 AUD today)
Same story in the US but that’s what people are asking, not necessarily what they’re getting. I’ve still gotten a couple good deals lately you just have to always be on the lookout. Now the newer cars are just insane, almost 60k for a Toyota van is just ridiculous l.
Yeah it’s crazy. I saw a used car dealership here in Ottawa selling a 2007 Toyota Corolla with 200,000k km on it for $9k plus taxes and fees. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
So I see Bidenomics affects Canada too. The jerk is screwing the whole world
Cause of the 2000 shortage on conductors and the lack of the usual supply of cars made during the pandemic. Sucks because I’m looking for a used car for my wife and used cars 7-10 years old that would normally be 15k tops with decent mileage are selling for 20-25. I bought a 98 bmw for 4k for the meantime until I find something for her but I hav ea feeling it’s going to take about 2-3 years for used car prices go back to normal as these 2022-23 model leases return to car lots and drive down the prices of older models again.
I just saw an 07 I think Sienna with 500,000 miles at auction. Still running and driving.
Really, really Scotty? I’m sitting in TX and it 107 degrees outside and you’re gonna post a video of it sleeting outside?
I’d be curious to know how many videos you have stacked up waiting to be posted. 😂
I'm waiting for his OnlyFans
Watching these videos at 2x speed turns Scotty into a madman in the middle of suburbia, ranting about his van while driving well over the speed limit.
Scotty is so cool that it snows when he talks! LOL!
I have an old '05 Sienna w/ 200k on it. Tried to change the timing belt and all the bolts were frozen. Also control arms will go, and struts. The engine is bullet proof. If you get one over 180k get one that was maintained, or you will.... whether you like it or not! All that said, it's been a very serviceable car for my family over the last 5 years.
My 2003 Sienna van is in PERFECT interior condition, rides smooth, engine purrs. Body is in great shape but it needs paint, as the clearcoat is failing - which I'm getting ready to do. It got us through two boys and a lot of trips to the mountains. I have a hitch on it so I can pull my small trailer to move stuff. I took the back seats out (still have them) so I can move larger items and so I don't really need a truck. I thought, WHY sell it? It's a classic and super reliable. I still wouldn't hesitate to drive it several hundred miles, but mostly, just use it around town as a second car to move stuff. Mine is this exact color. I love her! Had a Previa van (aircraft carrier, LOL) before this - a deer totaled it!
I am a 76 year old women and I love watching your videos on cars. I wish you were closer to me . I have been looking for a decent older Honda Civic preferably, or a Toyota (celica) that gets good gas millage, In an old lady price range. older Civics are my favorite but hard to come by where I live because I live in the rural Ozarks Mountains. I want to thank you for helping others to find out the truth about cars. You are a gem to all of us. God Bless
this Sienna was my last vehicle in 2002, great vehicle.
my 2004 is 300 thousand miles and still running i love it!
You can tell Scotty's in Minnesota because it's snowing in August
Video could be old no?
@@zayd1111
or he's in Buffalo LoL

Minivan is the best all-around vehicles in North America. It can be used to put some drywall from Home Depot, it can put a few kids or a whole family on it. Great for camping trip! Great for road trips! Always reliable. Less expensive than a SUV, and more "utilizable" than the SUV. Looks boring, so nobody steals them. Low insurance. Can be used to tow things too! Practical, and pragmatic!
If I can only choose 1 type of vehicle, then definitely a minivan.
I'm 27 and just recently bought a 1995 Volvo 850 for 600$ barely any rust on it, just small smidge here and there. And man, it runs so well despite of it having 220k miles. It only has been 2 weeks and I already added it another 2k miles. I'm having waaaay too much fun with it! Specially because it only takes 35$ to fill up the tank and it would last me a week if not more! Old cars are the best! Any car from 2011 and up just.... No.
Scotty you're a National Treasure and save us all money and I want to say a personal THANK YOU FOR YOU'RE A LIFESAVER AND A BLESSING TO ME💞🤗💞🙏🙏
we still drive a 95 previa, had it for 15yrs now, its been stellar.
The Previas may have been a lot harder to work on but they were very unique looking for a mini van. Great video, Scotty.
Pull a Previa into the garage parking lot the techs scatter like cockroaches, it was a nightmare to work on.
Scotty is teaching me so much..I.tell my mechanic what to do now
I was selling Toyotas back when that sienna was new. The sienna and the odyssey were close competitors back then.
I spent 1,900 on the same van . I love it you are a honest man
Scotty you the real hero everyone needs but dont deserve
I bought a 2013 Toyota sienna in 2014 for 13,000. I sold it for a different vehicle, but I loved that van.
great van, and way better looking than the newer ones in my opinion !
The old ones usually do look better than the latest idiotic designs. Yesterday, I saw a car style I once owned. My wife thought it was great! It was a 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. Now, that was a fine car!
Scotty is a happy man doing what he loves.
I just bought a 1996 Saturn SL sedan off an old lady with 111,000 miles a year ago. $1200 everything works, averages 35 mpg and parts super cheap. And my favorite thing is the transmission uses an oil style canister filter so annual transmission fluid and filter are as easy an oil change and it's OBD2.
My 2017 Toyota Sienna averaged 37mpg ( cdn 4.56L) driving 90-100km/hr ( 54-60mph) on a recent hwy trip... Just replaced rear oem rotors and pads.
My last roommate bought a 1999 one and paid way to much for it but after replacing both drive axles and one inner tie rod along with both motor mounts he has had some AC problems and coolent leak problems but he drove cross country with little to no headaches.
I love Scotty's passion for his trade.
Scotty's neighbours...."He's yelling into the camera again". 😝 Great info, thanks!
I been watching you forever scotty i really appreciate you taking your time to help us with endless information for our vehicles i fell on very hard times and i just spent one thousand on a Mitsubishi mirage it has 210miles Wich sounds crazy on the test drive no leaks no weird sounds ac everything works you think the thing will give me at least six months
Hope so!
I loved my Mitsubishi Mirage. If not for rust would still have it.. Currently have a Mitsubishi 2017 Outlander.
I'm Brazilian and I watch all your videos, you are so much fun
Thanks for what you do. You are a benifit to consumers. God bless you and those you love.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
You could do a video like this once a day for the next year.... "How to buy a pretty damn good car for really cheap..." And I'd watch and like every single one
My mom's 1995 Camry had that same power train V6. Still ran like new after 350,000 plus miles and 20 something years. The suspension and break system and stuff finally started to rust away being in the rust belt.
But they don't make them the way they used to anymore.
I honestly think mid 90’s to mid 00’s vehicles are the best vehicles ever made. It was a perfect blend of modern reliability and comfort with not too much tech on them and (especially the Japanese ones) are fairly simple to work on. I’ve been driving one or another version for almost my whole career and I will keep doing so. They’re not flashy but they’re comfortable and still have a little character to them. My latest family one is a 2006 Honda pilot, it’s high miles but had all the maint done with records since new. 215k and drives like new, has some luxuries like heated seats, sunroof and DVD system but nothing crazy and I love it. I’d still be rocking my 2000 Camry with over 200k if it didn’t get totaled, my daughters 04 accord has 300k, my other daughters 02 celica has 250k. Just really great products.
I have a question if you don't mind but I moved from Oklahoma to Brown Summit N.C. right outside of Greensboro am I in the "Rust Belt?'
@kennethsmith4956 no you are not.
My 1999 Toyota Camry lasted until 700k. I also didn’t take great care of it
It’s very true with those siennas. And the 94 Camry
We had that exact kind of sienna when I was a young dad.. it took us everywhere on family trips and rarely gave us any problem. .. definitely well built.. no longer have it but thise that are looking for older van.. these older sienna is the perfect choice.
Great video Scotty!
We have to save this man at all cost!
Great video.👍 Thanks, Scotty.
Thanks Scott !
1600 isnt even a down payment on a new one....
Wow SK. I almost missed this review. I was window shopping online at eBay Motors and I See Cars wanting a Previa, but now I'll include the Sienna in my search. Thanks.
Scott is energetic,knowledgeable the best cars dealer thank you for sharing your experience and great enthusiasm ❤
Yeah, lots of miles and still running. I had a Toyota RN50 pickup with a 22R engine once. The speedometer always read 8% more than the actual speed, and the odometer registered 8% more than the actual mileage. They are good vehicles, but check your odometer against the mile posts on the interstate. I climbed the north side of Brindlee Mountain on US231 when it was slushy near the bottom and snow covered half way up with regular tires, no chains.
For some reason, minivans are quite popular here in Florida, so you're not likely to get a deal like that here. But $1,600 might get you an old Camry or Corolla. Mind you, for that kind of money the paint will be burned off of it (the hot Florida sun destroys paint quickly), but underneath the crappy paint it can still be a good car
Found 97 Corolla in a neighborhood for 4k and someone bought it 😢
Good information!!!
We've continuously had a Sienna since 1999 - great vehicles. 2000, 2004 and 2013.
Just got a 2006 Lexus IS 350 brought over from Japan w/only 80k km on it and I paid 17k CAD. Absolute MINT condition, and will last till like 400k as I actually maintain my cars. Toyota quality is almost unmatched
I just bought 2014 toyota sienna le from Canada with 80 000 kilometers...do you think that's a good idea and do you think the cars are better quality...
@@zeljkodjukic5889 id say the Toyotas from Japan are slightly better quality than ones made here. But take care of either and they'll run forever
@@zeljkodjukic5889 I saw a video that Scotty said Canada also makes really good cars
Snow in August !!!!????? Dang, Scotty, is there a Polar Vortex parked right over Clarksville this summer ????
Love your videos Scotty
hope you stay with us for so long. never die sir.
Scotty I just bought a 2006 for 1200$ from the original owner. 263000 miles on it so I replaced brakes, timing belt and water pump. Still running great
Great find. Surprising to me you can still get running vehicles for under 2k, especially in todays financial climate
@@chexnfx7161 I was looking for anything that would help my wife. She takes care of 3 special needs adults and the Cadillac CTs worked but was difficult for them to get out sometimes. I came across this van and originally was 1500 but I think he lowered it to 1200 because of the work my wife does. I replaced the timing belt and brakes (rotors, calipers, and brakes) myself so if that’s all I need done the I got a good deal. I will be replacing the plug’s here shortly also. About a 3 hr job.
How much you spendt changing timing belt. Did you get a 4 or 6 cylinder
@@antoniot5927 I have the 3.3 6 cylinder and I got the timing belt kit at rock auto for 137$ acdelco
Scotty is the best! And I don’t even own a car 🚙 😂
Got one of those myself and two 2005s. Can't beat em!
Thank you , thank you , thank you Scotty !!! You’re a good ole boy .
Thank your son for paving the way for rest of us who not want to spend as much as he did.
Toyota Previa holds some deep memories for me, being the first car I learned how to drive and the one that got me through hs and some college ❤️
My parent bought that same car brand new off the lot back in the day. Awesome car they traded it for the newer model sienna once the first ones came out
Bought a 96 mustang gt convertible for 3.8k, with 140k miles. Paint is immaculate and was all original. Great car imo
Just about Toyota quality in some Fords. Last year I had a a 2006 Explorer with a 4 liter V6 and it ran and looked great. A friend of mine wanted it so bad I said okay and sold it to him!
Your Stang is a great find.
With tons of aftermarket support
Scott you've taught me so much , being on Second car. I'm learning so much. You never stop learning
1999 - 2001 have oil flow/sludge issued. I have desludged mine twice, and it's still going strong. It's still my favorite road car.
Great video for the common man. This is the reason you have almost 6 million subscribers.
I've got a 2004 Sienna that is rusting underneath from salty streets in D.C. but it is pushing 200k this month.
I have to say that when I cruise on the highway the engine feels solid and reliable.
My tranny is all fked up. 222k on it
95 and humid actually makes snow look good...
Old School mechanic , great information!
Very knowledgeable and experienced
Scott was/is a mechanic? Wow, all this time I would have sworn he was the conductor for the philharmonic orchestra. Lolol I really enjoy his videos. I don't always agree with him but that is fine. He is good fella that believe he is really trying to help people and for the most part he is.
Maybe someone should put an orchestra in front of him and see what kind of music comes out during one of his videos. 😂😂😂
Hahahaha so funny!!! It probably would sound like a toyota/lexus symphony no 5. Lolol
Oh man, I've always wanted a Toyota Sienna. Ironically, I bought a Honda Odyssey off of Craigslist for exactly $1,600 and and at 1st it was having some wiring issues with it, but now she starts up each and every time. But my next used car will be a Toyota Sienna. It's on my bucket list 😅
Hondas ,Toyotas are the same ,they will last a long time if you take care of it.
Thank you Scotty
We have a 2011 sienna. 321000 km. 200000 miles. We have cared for it and spent some on it this year tires battery alternator muffler front suspension….going great.
Except the interior lights come on for no reason 😬trying to figure that out.
Lots of people say it’s old get rid of it. But the new cars have so much to go wrong…
Thanks Scotty. Love watching and learning
So worth keeping an older Honda or Toyota with Scotty around!🎉
I’ve got that van. Bought it used four years ago with 128k miles for $3,400. Now have 155k and no problems other than replacing a tie rod. EVERYTHING on it still works as designed. Can’t beat it.
I have a 98 sienna with 180k miles. It is a pleasure to drive and is reliable.
2006, went to the Toyota dealer with toddler and infant thinking we wanted a RAV-4 and the wise salesman, a seasoned parent himself gently steered us toward the Sienna. Was he ever right. We added another kid and still driving it to this day. It's in the shop now with a serious set of repairs being done but I think there was only 1 other time we had any major repair done on it and the shop owner said it should be good for well over another 100k or so miles.
plan on keeping mine....same color as yours scotty!
I picked up a 1994 Mercury Villager for my mother in law many years ago and handle all the maintenance... needless to say it's been minimal and 100% most bang for your buck!
Ah, the preferred vehicle of the Villager People.
Rebadged Nissan quest
@@brandonstclair6530I swear I learn something everyday
They use to really know how to make vehicles back in the day, and we got something pretty good for our money. I still like buying an older used vehicle instead of new, and have it checked out thoroughly by a mechanic, because I know it's going to be so much better built than the newer ones, and we aren't going to have all of the new electronic problems and sensor problems which will save us a ton of money not having to have repaired.
@@1jackvalley580 very true! I have a 1996 suburban with 270k+ miles on it I bought 14yrs ago for $1500. We just got finished with a 2k road trip towing a boat loaded with camping gear across 3 passes and back a couple months ago. Parts are readily available and easy maintenance. New vehicles have parts unavailable and way too many problems. Not to mention they are like having an extra house payment!
Thank you!
