Sorry Scotty I just bought a 2024 Camry TRD. Wanted the last year for the V6 and really like that body configuration and the best of both worlds cluster. Digital and analog gauges.
Over engineering used to be a German problem. Today all cars are over engineered with tech for the sake of tech.
I dunno I've seen a rav4 hybrid with 440k miles original everything.... but their new trucks are falling apart....
Engineers trying to justify their high salaries
@@Steve.Cutler Engineers doing their jobs. Leaders have to say simple and reliable.
Pursuit of profit and price point drives those decisions. I don't think they do it just to make life difficult or force people to buy new cars. They're just trying to make production as streamlined as possible, and that means making disassembly and repair a lot more difficult.
I wish car companies took a more balanced approach. I don't think the U.S. government gives them much wiggle room.
In fairness, tech, when done right, is nice to have.
I bought my 2009 Rav4 brand new and now it has 118,000 miles on it.
Still runs great and I love it.
The biggest repair so far was a new AC and nothing else.
Funny enough I bought this car when my wife was pregnant with my son.
Now he's 15 and I'll be passing it down to him for his first car.
Crazy how fast time goes lol
Only 118,000?
You have to try harder😂
@@atticstattic I know not impressed...come at me with over 150k lol
Why does your Toyota RAV4 only have 118k miles?
Is it because what Scotty said: they bounce around & make people car sick?
A 2009 with only 118,000 miles & the A/C went out??
I have a 2008 F-150 4.2 V6 with a 5 speed manual with a little over 200,000 miles & it's 100% all original, and it's always loaded & pulling a 7x12 trailer.
Wow you don't drive much I mean that helps a car last a lot longer if it's not getting too many miles but hey that's great
2011 Venza V6, and a 2013 RX 350 here. Both paid off, right at about 120,000 miles, and have had all maintenance things done. Both are fantastic rides, and we plan on keeping them until the wheels fall off.
Nice!
MegaSlowe are they fairly similar vehicles? I mean other than the luxury appointments on the Lexus.
IF..... the wheels falls off.... that is a big IF......
2008 highlander purchased just a few months ago and couldn’t be happier!
No hybrid this or electric that, no turbos, just Japanese made quality!
Just don't lean on it or that thin cheap Japanese metal will dent.
Ask me how I know? That's exactly what happened to my 2008 Camry, I'm 170 pounds & simply leaned up against the front drivers fender & crushed it, I then carried it to the body shop & the owner said that was common on Toyota's thin metal.
I bought my 2006 Sienna at 157K mile with $4700. It is now 199K mile and so far, very pleased with it. I converted it as a camper; it is my second home now. It saves me a lot of rent when I worked weekly out of my home state.
My 1998 is just a baby. It got my van with 119k 8yrs ago for $2400😂 I over paid KBB values by $400. Disabled and desperate for a reliable van and my last money at the time. My Sienna saved me from financial disaster. I repair everything myself. Its got only 170K no rust, needs lids painted. I wax the bald spots anyway. The wing windows only function when temperatures are cold. Who cares. The AC blows a blizzard. I added a SONY Bluetooth stereo, custom wheels a hitch and transmission cooler. My Sienna will run forever!
Scotty gives it to you straight. Tells it like it is.
YOU THE MAN SCOTTY!!😮
You're the best car guy on CZcams, Scotty.
I'm in agreement with you!
Me, too!
Fact
My family has a house remodel business, and we have been exclusively using old sienna for hauling construction materials.
I have rentals and I am looking for a new car. Seeing that most of the minivans can take a 4x8 sheet with no problem. Definitely on my list!
You’re smart to use them, completely covered and better gas mileage than a truck.
Thanks, Scotty. The most boring vehicle I ever owned was a minivan. It was also the smartest vehicle I ever owned. But, being it was a Dodge, the tranny soiled the sheets at 90,000 miles and that was the last Dodge I've ever owned.
Anybody who has ever owned more than one is probably dumb.
I had a 2000 Sienna with just under 500k miles and was going to keep it even though I bought a 2015 RAV4. A good friend was in a bind for a vehicle and I sold it to him for 500. Last I heard it was still around haven't seen it, but still running as far as I know.
Last Oct, I bought a 2006 Sienna LE van wirh only 74k miles. Great shape. Use it like my van truck (after owning 12 F150's). Took out the middle seats, dropped the back seats down and have a 4' x 8' flat area.
Toyota tundra 2000 club with 280,000 miles still running like a clock 4.7 l v8 engine
Have a 2007 Honda pilot bought for $3000 December 2019 at 196,000 miles and now it’s at 276,000 miles July 2024. Plan to change the belt at 100,000 miles (294,000 miles) around December- January 2024-2025 still going down the road perfectly!
They last forever , smart purchase
Buy all the used Toyota before they're gone
Shhh😊
@@RocRocket-cl3vc And once these are gone, they will never be made again! The last vehicles of freedom. Very sad for the future.
Finally I see my van again on Scotty’s channel ❤️😁
96 T100, 3400 engine, 5 spd 200k and everything with as it should. Ice cold AC, hot heat and cruise control works perfectly!!!! All that's been done is water pump, timing belt and oil change every 5k miles!!! I love this old truck and she is EXTREMELY RELIABLE!!!!
Can't shut the door manually u shouldn't be driving lol😂
I think all those types of features are for disabled people...... lot's of disabled people around (physical & mental)
I loved he secret compartment under the front armrests. The rear a /c went so we just sealed it off
Toyota Corolla 2007 club here 🫡👌.
Miles, Condition, and price, if you don't mind me asking...
I've got a 2009 Corolla with well over 200,000 miles on the odometer. It's still going strong, and I'll keep it as long as I can! 😊
if im not mistaken scotty has a video on corolla cheap economical and will go the distance bought 08 corolla 117k mi on it i love this car little hard getting in and out but happy with this purchase
@@user-yy1pg9ce6d They are small cars made for teenagers and little people. Great car, and the ones made from 1999--2008 are bulletproof, and will last for years
2005 with 227,000 5 sp stick, still original clutch. rust will take it before the engine goes on it.
Thanks 👍
The 3mzfe engine in this van , highlander , lexus es330 is one of Toyotas best engine . Though it is said to be an interference engine there are testimonies on forums where the timing belt broke with no damage to the engine. I have this van with 227k miles , drives like new as I maintain it quite well. I have taken care of all problematic areas and I will get over 300k miles. The key is maintenance and a van that is 20 year old it is easy to see how to fix issues and are well documented on forums and youtube. My van is a keeper
It's a shame...even new Toyota's are going to junk.
Overpriced junk
umm no they are NOT you troll
UMM NO THEY ARE NOT, TROLL
@@user-do9ir8lv2m
Obviously, you don't know what's happening. Corolla's with CVT's, all new Camry's are all hybrids. Junk...you'll learn.
@@user-do9ir8lv2mUmm, Scotty literally said the new ones are junk.
Our 2004 Odyssey is still running strong with the original transmission, exhaust, etc.
I purchased my Mothers 1998 4Runner from her estate....still running great!
I got motion sickness while watching this Toyota
I love this guy but he gives me a headache when he talk lol
hi i went from owning a 1991 Chevy astro for 17 years to a 2005 sienna for $2900 searched for 3 months with 168k mi. 5 years ago removed 2 row seats ..$1000 for new plugs and coils.. new front tires $200.. doors work manually and regular oil changes... not perfect but a good van
My Ford Focus with a manual transmission has 293k miles, I did have a new transmission and clutch at 241k and some air conditioner parts replaced
2003 matrix 275,000 plus no major work.
My 2002 Odyssey still has the original struts lol.
How's the transmission? They go out a lot on odyssey.
@@paquesepas6696 No problems so far. I did buy it used after the tranny retrofit that Honda did because of the problem they were having with the transmissions back than.
Must've replaced the t ranny twice
Our local BMW dealer uses a Sienna with 300,000+ miles on it for customer
transport. Ironic.
I love those thumbnails!
I own a Chevy (2000 Tahoe, runs like new, ) and always chuckle when Scotty mentions “junkyard” and thumbnail is a Chevrolet dealership! I know most Chevys are crap.
Aussie here, I own a 2014 Commodore, it's a great car, very economical on country drives and also in the City. The Aussie GM cars must be built better than the US GM cars. 🙂
I have an Equinox, 2013. 173,000 miles. I would like to get a newer car but the darn thing keeps running.
2007 Toyota 4Runner 4.7 V8 120k and running like a champion here 💪💪
Picked up a 2013 sienna with all the bells and whistles with 140,000 for 12k not a steal but in the ballpark of what it should be. Majority highway miles. Owner gave me binder of maintenance records, that was the deciding factor.
Just got a 2000 Avalon with bench seat and column shifter with no sunroof. 195k miles. No rust. Has a weird vacuum leak if you stomp the throttle too quickly. Leaking back valve cover. Been too busy to diagnose or fix. My girlfriend likes it so much she parked her 2016 Corolla that has 30k miles. But we like the Corolla just fine. Just rougher ride, noisier, and less power. Tired of the fear and stress of the newer cars. I want knobs and less tech.
vintage first gen sequioa 4x4. 100k on V8 motor and trans... 360K on chassis... J vin.. its a keeper @ 3 grand! going up in value!... good tip.
My old neighbor has a 2000 Camry. 360k miles. Original engine, transmission, etc. Still working!!
2003 toyota sienna ce 160k miles original engine and transmission and 2007 honda odyssey 255k miles orginal engine and transmission not a single problem on these
The Sienna is a great platform. The 3rd Generation is a sweet ride. Good post Scotty!
2004 toyota matrix still going strong. Never been in a shop!
2003 Toyota matrix 275,000 still going.
I had a couple of Mercury Villagers that ran great but both had real problems with the radiator build. One broke the neck off as casused the engine to severly overheat blew the head gasket, still ran very well ,of course woukd fail emissions. Bought another ,same damned problem. Leaked out fluid and engune froze in the winter ( my fault for putting only water back in for emergency) Still ran very well after freeze thawed. Donated to Vetrens organization.😁
Hey Scotty, what about teh 2013 Sienna? Its set up with Braun Ability Handicapped equipment. Great van.
Scotty, I got a 2013 Camry SE with almost 300K. Still runs pretty good. Very slight miss at idle, but undetectable driving. Transmission is starting to give a little issue. If I get in my car in the morning, start it and drive, it will not go into 6th gear until I manually downshift for about 5 seconds then back to drive. (shifter not paddles) Only then will it go into 6th. I've tried waiting till the car had warmed up for about 30 seconds, then a minute , then 2. No change. Only will it shift perfectly after the car is to full operating temperature. Now, once this has happened, I can park the car for 5-7 hrs, get in while its now cold again, and it will still shift perfectly. It only gives me the issue when its been sitting 12hrs or more. I was going to take it to Toyota for diagnostics, but considering what they did me about 50k miles ago, I really don't want to go back.
So, does it sound like the trans is going out or is there something I can try first? I was told years by one old mechanic to never change the fluid in a high mileage car if its never been done before. Well, this one has never been done. Also, check engine light has never been on. EVER.. Thank you sir.
Thanks Scotty….never seen a 3.3 V6 Toyota in za…but it is nice even so.
2001 Toyota Solara 234,000,I need another Toyota.
I recently passed on a 3rd gen Tacoma. My 2nd gen is half the truck my 1st gen was so now I'm scared of anything new Toyota.
talk about timing of this video..as i literally JUST bought a used 2006 Toyota Sienna last weekend! 170,000 miles and managed to nab it for $2500! The AC didnt work and apparently the rear ac was disconnected, a check engine light with p0171 & p0174. I did pay a shop around $1300 to fix the front AC cuz this TN weather has been HOT, so it was necessary. The rear ac unit will have to wait. as far as the engine codes, i cleaned the MAF sensor today and will just have to see if they come back on. There IS a slight clunk when turning, but i haven't investigated yet. Overall, it drives fantastic! Hopefully it will last forever. Great Vid!
I have that same van with 274,000 miles.....didn't even know til this video that it has a timing belt....I thought it was a chain. I've not changed either the timing belt or the water pump BECAUSE the damn transverse mounted engine is CLOSE to the passenger frame and motor mount etc. It's a BIG damn deal to get at that stuff.
I bought a 2024 Select MAZDA CX50 have no problems so far! but not even 1000 miles on it yet! but dont expect any problem, was sick of my old RUSTING OUT CAR if it wasnt rusting out I woulda kept it! but its embarrassing driving a rust heap! and no it wasnt possible to fix without spending a minimum of 14,000 dollars!
My 04 camry with the oil burning 2.4l has 221k miles on it and still going strong.
Im 19 and I have an 08 Camry se with 194k miles it burns oil but it drives and runs fine 😊
Got a 1987 Toyota pickup with 27k miles. It was a Toyota RV duely. I took the camper off now it is an 11 foot flatbed with duel's.
Sweet.
2006 RAV4, 4 cylinder, 80k miles. Would run fine, then get a sudden appetite for crankcase oil - four quarts in a a hundred miles, then back to normal, if you managed to notice it.
My 07 was $4k with 84k miles, now has 128k miles and is going strong.
just sold my 09 corolla😅 hope i find something better soon
this man is a master!
2014 sienna 231K miles, Best/most versatile vehicle I've ever owned. Bought new & I've done all the maintenance myself. Every major component is original. Took out all rear seats to move my kiddo to college. Left them out and "Vanna" averages over 24mpg
I will keep this vehicle until the wheels fall off.
great engine my solara has the v6 129000 miles runs great uses no oil between changes
Might join yah soon
I love my 2013. 100k runs perfectly. Tires and oil changes
I put more stuff in that than my Tundra.
Yikes--Scotty must be talking about me--My 2004 Pontiac Montana engine died so I just got a 2009 Sienna---180,000 miles for $3,000---- I love it !!!!
Scotty is a legend!
Just bought a 2024 rav 4 awhile back
Scotty it's called the perfect sleeper.
I've had 3. '79 celica- sold at 323k miles. '84 supra- 235k mi. 2003 tacoma- 136k- keeping till I die!
Just got a used Toyota rav4 '09 with 170k miles on it, would love for you to take a look at it as i seen some RI cars in your video. Hopefully I can make it last for more than 300k
i bought the quick struts for my car they are fine , i bought the expesive ones.
94 Celica with over 345,000 miles on it. Top that.
Cudos only got 275 K on my matrix . Hope I get over 300,000. Thats the end of the odometer.
Have 341,000 on my 2009 Civic and its still getting 35 MPG
I beat my 2019 4Runner Off-road like a rented mule….I bought it in early 2020 with 17k miles. Now has 177k. Routine maintenance plus plus and fluid changes all-around at 100k miles. Bilstien shocks and struts at 170k. Looking to get 300k out if her.
@scottykilmer -- I have been watching you for years -- I have even taken my laptop under the car to watch and follow how you do things. A fan! Please help me with this: Older Toyotas are good -- but what if I buy a one with 75,000 miles -- but they didn't service it. Surely that is a bad buy? What do you think?
2010 Toyota Matrix is the best!!! 156K miles and going strong. Cranks every time!
Toyota don't build them like they use to. Those 3.3 liter V - 6 engines are bullet proof 😎😎👍👍
2007 Toyoya Rav4 V6 great car.
My family had a 2002 Pontiac Montana. It was the best vehicle we’ve ever had. Unfortunately the salt ate away at the body and we had to get rid of it after 16 years
Our 2004 Sienna went 387,000 strong.
I serviced one of these with 421,000 miles. It was a Taxi, guy came for oil every 3 weeks.
What do we buy then
Just got a 2021 Ford ranger xl stx
: ) Bought a 2012 AWD SIenna, hard to find BUT WORTH IT, only 39K on it. May have to keep as long as I can, new ones are too much $$$$$$, and not available :(
What year?
Thats the same motor in the 03 Avalon
Going get 2025 Toyota 4 runner Pro this Fall.
Quick struts really are not the best choice. The springs are not the same as the factory and the ride is much stiffer as a result. It is not rocket science to change the cartridges. A few minutes of extra work is well worth the cost savings and ride quality.
My father died last summer and left me his '99 camry xle, gold pkg, 2.2 4cyl, 63k mi. It's my one and only vehicle right now, I am going to buy something newer and a little more comfortable for long distance drives but I will keep this for the rest of my life as that's how long it will keep running.😂😮😅
Scotty I’m out west looking for my daughters first car she’s 21 started her job last year I told her to save her money pay cash or finance least as possible found a 06 tab 4 base with AWD with 111.000 miles on it they want 10.000 this is what all these old Toyota and Hondas are going for and they have 2011 Honda crv ex-l leather with 20.000 Les miles for 13.000 these are automatic trans would never want to deal with a snowmobile transmission. But why would the Honda be way less for the year and miles Is the rav way better than the Honda ? I’ve owned many of both over many of years I always thought they were neck to neck on quality. Your take would appreciated on a future video.
Help my Daughters BF has a 2001 Camry with 60k miles. Salt Belt was a granny mobile. Thoughts to save the frame?
1st or 2nd gen sequoia
I had a 1996 Nissan Quest that lasted 220,000 miles. Great ride. Minivans are better than SUVs IMO.
That WILL NOT "last twice as long as a new Toyota" (Camry or Corolla).
Scotty You gonna have to come up with some new Material, Any news on the 2024 Tundra?
Being a Toyota fan he probably doesn't want to talk about those.
@@josephkelleher8820 A Tundra is a Toyota.
He did talk about it and thinks it’s a bad decision to go to a v6 turbo charged
Tundra is Toyota of course silly v6 turbo charged is bad in the tundra
I just bought a 2015 Toyota Sienna to replace the 2014 Toyota Sienna that was totaled when my wife T-boned a car last year. I spent $15,000. Guess I should have gone older and saved myself $12,000. Oh well.
Toyota is the King for good Reason .
I'm not sure an old Toyota bought today will last twice as long as a new Toyota will last you, but who knows? I never understand Scotty's math, however, when he says something costs 8X less than something else. Not sure I want him figuring the bill for a repair of mine.
2007 toyota solara sle convertible with this same motor,
Scotty new cars cost more than 100 thousands dollars, with that money
I can buy me 4 used Toyotas in excellent condition and not worry about
my new 100 thousand dollars broke down.
My son-in-law sold his 1990 Sienna with over 1 million miles. He bought a Lexus RX450. He thinks it will be the last vehicle he'll ever buy !
Our belt broke at 80k
2008 corolla everything still works and is daily car.............200k miles still like
Scion xb 06’ with 280k and counting. Toaster keeps cooking
How does he know the struts are original? The current owner bought it when it was already old and well used. Sounds like some toyota cheerleading to me!
Happy Monday!
