I have a friend from Fujian, China. And my mother's side of the family is from Cuba. We sat down and talked about communism once over dinner. We both learned quite a bit. Turns out there are different "flavors" of communism. Scotty it right, China is basically a capitalist country with a dictator at the top, but they also have, supposedly, some kind of parliament or legislative body as well. It is a weird setup, looks like China is just a quasi-communist country today, somewhat different of how the country was run 30+ years ago. Probably when the Soviet Union fell, communist China kind of fell with it I guess. But that hasn't stopped the Castro regime back in Cuba of keeping the people poor and on the brink of starvation. If a cab driver in Cuba makes $10 USD in a day shuttling tourists around, they take like $8 and leave the driver $2 for gas so he can work the next day 😆🤦🏻♂️😭. My friend assured me, the Chinese would never put with an economic system like that.
Fyi, saying the name of the human malware on video could get you demonetized.
Hey Scotty, Why is it that vehicle manufacturers sometimes mount coil springs in an offset position on macpherson struts?
Hey Scotty I want to buy a reliable little coup with a manual, did Toyota or Honda ever make one that's reliable and worth the purchase?
Scotty Kilmer - HEY SCOTTY, I’ve been trying to get my comment seen for a while. Is a 2004 Saturn VUE with 160,000 miles for $1,000 a good reliable car? I’m a senior in high school and need a cheep reliable car.
My favorite Nissans are the Z cars, they're pretty awesome, and let's not forget the fantastic GT-R!
GTR should get CVT bcs Maxima has it and is super sports car 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a 2006 G35 coupe...I loved it until it got totalled...
I have a 2019 370Z that's a great car.
@@videomaniac108 if no CVT no great at all 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@videomaniac108 Right now I'm driving a Mercedes roadster....but I wouldn't mind getting a new Z...

Lol
Mine got 296k miles on my 1zz
@V S those ford sho Yamahas are beasts, especially the older ones, boxy during the fox body days they were actually under rated because they were faster And had more power than the 5.0,i had one spank me in my 92 5.0 auto, it was a 93 stick sho and from off the line, roll, even if I got a head start, that beat up sho always caught up, always got me off the line or slowly passed me on a roll race.
And when we shut down (in Mexico off road of course) at 120ish, or less it was always at least 2 car lengths or more ahead of me.
Sho was old, beat, stock.
GT has cold air intake, and a chopped up exhaust. But was that slouch of a auto sadly.
Curious if they made a auto sho during those years, if so I wonder how it would of turned out...
My Mk7 Celica was fine up to 135k miles and then got crashed into by some thugs and started leaking coolant and the mechanic didn't know how to fix it and bleed it correctly (lots of videos on youtube on how to do it) so I had to get rid of it after more damage (not by me) but up until then, if you change the oil with good oil regularly and don't thrash the car, it was one of the best cars I ever owned!!! 😪
I bought a brand new 370Z back in 2010 and drove it for about 10 years with just oil change and zero visit to the dealers for maintenance. The only thing I replaced was fuel pump ($400 to replace). Other than that, ZERO issue. Such a solid, fun, and reliable car.
I got the 370z, 2014 new also, so far 43,000. No issues, standard, I'm 70 just for chilling around, love it.
I dont think people realize what a blessing the 350Z and G35 trims are. They've been kept relatively similar over the years which means tons of readily available parts and lots of common problems and troubleshooting found.
That's why im thinking of picking one up for my first car.
I wish I have a time machine to go back to the 90's. Nissan had 180/200/240SX, 300ZX, Skyline GT-R R32-R34, Pulsar GTI-R, etc. Good times.
Just import the skyline.
My sister has the older Pulsar Nx SE same engine as the 240 sx. That thing ran like a clock and cornered like a go cart. It was such a fun car.
Whats the point when you guys can't even maintain a STI.
xeong5 lmao maintain an STI? LMAOOOO MAINTAIN an STI maybe because one thing breaks and then when you fix that two things break and then when you go to fix those the car doesn’t crank
They still exist you know.
I miss the 1990's and early 2000's Maxima's. Those were great, fun, reliable, vehicles. Hard to believe that 20 years ago Nissan was seriously competing with Toyota and Honda.
Time To Wake Up the early 2000s maximas are reliable! I’m getting a 2005 Nissan Maxima. Happy to be an owner of one!
I hear ya; i just got rid of my 2010 maxima, good riddance! Got a 2016 rogue with 18k miles, runs great!
JUST 20 years ago ??? 20 years is a long time. I always hated nissans, whenever I look at cars, I always look at the steering wheel. If the steering wheel sucks, the car usually sucks. Nissan and ford steering wheels always sucked.
@@Anthony-kj2zj Ford doesn't suck though
@@Anthony-kj2zj wait.. so you judge a car by a steering wheel??? ok!
I own a 2008 Nissan Versa hatchback that I purchased new in 2007. Except for a couple of minor accidents and regular maintenance, it's never spent a single day in the shop. It's been amazingly reliable and durable, even the interior looks almost new. I know it's 'just' a Versa, but it's by far the best car I've ever owned.
I have a 2012 Nissan 370Z with 3.7 L V6 and 76k miles and haven't had any problems. I always use fully synthetic oil with quality oil filters. I recently had the automatic transmission fluid flushed by a Nissan dealership. I love the car. It rides and handles great. Almost all the miles are highway miles. I used to drive it every day to work 110 miles/day. I've never driven it hard though. I love it and am always getting compliments from people.
LOL I knew if I kept watching you Mr. Scotty I'd run into one these videos about my 370z. I love watching you and I can take it. I'm just happy you're honest and help us out! I have a huge insecurity of being scammed by mechanics because I'm a woman but you have helped me soo much.
"Put your money in the bank - not in the tank. Buy a Datsun!" -- 1980s TV commercial
Datsun....we are driven....
1VaDude except Datsun’s rusted out in most of the States 😞
Nissan's bank accounts are heading for the tank. Two birds with one stone!!
@@kentuckianaboy Not down south
@@kentuckianaboy to be fair all cars from that era had rust problems.
My 95 Maxima MT and 05 G35 MT both exceeded 240k miles with almost zero repairs and meticulous maintenance. The G35 is still in good condition.
Hi Scotty can't wait for the app
hello, me either!
Owned a 03 Altima 3.5 automatic and that car was a beast. Drove it like I stole it fill 180k miles went 1st gear finally went out. Now own 2005 xterra with 145k and is built proof, only minor standard repairs needed. Just did full suspension replacement and feels like a sports car again even though it's an suv. Amazing car
I have an 06 G35 sedan and I love it! Runs great!
Great advice. We need one of you in every town
Congrats Scotty. You finally got your Celica advice correct!
My Nissan Titan is 16 years old and it runs GREAT and I LOVE it.
Those trucks are good vehicles, both models.
Did that design have anything to do with Renault?
@@blaneblue1739 I believe the truck division has been left alone for the most part.
Stephen Schulz mee too
2004 Nissan Titan with 200k miles no issues good truck
Thanks for doing a really great job in your videos.
I learn so much from you thanks 👍
"As Always; Thank you Very much for Blessing Us all. With GREAT INSIGHT
I have an 2008 Altima with automatic transmission and it’s great! No problems!
I own a 2005 G35 sedan with 150k miles and runs great. Only had issues with camshaft/crankshaft sensors which was solved with a 10mm socket. Something about those old 3.5 vq motors. They're friggin bulletproof!
You on a roll Scotty
Great one Scotty 👍
Thank you for your input
I was wondering where the evening video was!! I've been waiting.
Personally, I have a two door 08 Altima 3.5se with a 6 speed manual. Love the car and it is so fun to drive
Plan on selling it? 🤔
Love every time Scotty said garbage dump
I love ya scotty and so does my 370z i drive it everyday and its a blast to drive and one of the best cars ive ever owned.
Scotty Kilmer for President!
2005 Nissan Pathfinder LE, 188K. I've done new valve cover gaskets, battery alternator. Clean car seems to have been serviced regularly. But I'd love to hear your input on it. Thanks and always love your videos!
I recently bought a 99 Nissan Altima with 130,000 miles on it....it's all beat up on the outside but it runs like a top!
It seems to have a very well built engine ....
You are the best Scotty. Keep it real.
I have a 370z my self... currently at 120k miles with virtually no issues
2007 -2008 Nissan 350z manual best Nissan ever ! Love my 07 110k miles strong giving most cars under 400hp the nice Gap
Your the man Scottiy!, you have been promoted to Uncle Scotty! I Love your videos they are very helpful and informative 👍 👏 👌 😀
you're popping up faster and faster on my feed Scotty !!
gizmo no it pays better to talk about cars than to fix them
So grateful for Scotty and this wisdom about cars💥
I love ur videos keep it up
hello and thanks!
Bought a new 2014 Nissan Altima use as a daily driver. Best car I’ve ever owned
How is it right now?
I have an ‘11 Altima. Bought him in ‘12 and he’s been good to me ever since. Keep my fingers crossed he’ll last me another year, year and a half if not longer.
It will mine has 288k didn't change a alternator till the car had 250k
lamar chapman hope so! I don’t drive him much I about to hit 110k miles. Might take longer given the current world situation. So I hope he stays kicking cuz I definitely do not want another car note any time soon.
My man Scotty dropping content faster than I can hit the like button.😂🤣😂 Get some rest Scotty.
Scotty you answered my questions on utube I'm honored..sinc 455.........
My 2008 v6 6mt Altima coupe just hit 230,000 miles and still can out accelerate most vehicles out there! ... and I’m still on the original clutch!
I added a 2019 370z for the summer this year - manual of course!
Hi Scotty hope you had a great day!
hello, thanks you too!
This man is the ultimate car expert! Listen to him. On Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia Canada, Nissans are selling like crazy thanks to a very long established aggressive car dealer. Many folks have spent their hard earned money buying these cars. They will be extremely disappointed in a few years. My husband and I will stay far away from any Nissan car or SUV. Thanks Scotty!
My 1980 280zx running great. 17 yrs ownership A to B car. Fun drive
There's a 98 Nissan Sentra that an older lady owns down the street. I've been thinking about asking her about selling it. In western Pennsylvania and garage kept, I really want it. That GA16 engine is bulletproof.
He said a few months ago the 350Z was the last of the Z models that was well made. The pre 2002 models seem to be well made automobiles. You still see those early Altimas and Maximas on the road.
thank you for the tip mr JOHN LENNON
I love you Scotty!
I don't know much about the Nissan Z, but if you're looking for an Altima, maxima or Sentra, the last really good years for those cars were 2003. Especially in regards to the Maxima. The 5.5 gen was the last good maxima.
Mr. Kilmer
I just want to thank you I'm watching your videos of cars to stay away from. When I shop for my first new car. Which I know will save me money and heartbreak later thank you!
First view for the first time 🥳
Scotty Hello from Florida 🍊!
Hi honey!
I had 2017 altima, it never gave me any issue, it was running like a charm, just traded it in for acura mdx.
May be the altima i had was a particularly good unit, I heard alot about problems with nissan cvt transmission but I did 100k kms ( 62k miles) never had a single issue with it.
They have warranty of 100,000miles
That's nothing for miles.....I'd hope anything would go 62k miles
..that doesnt mean anything
Best Nissan to buy is one that says Datsun on it 👍
Or until 2004.5ish...
my 1977 said both Datsun and Nissan on it. Great car.
Engine was a licensed copy of an Austin 4 banger.
Or maybe a 1994 Sentra 5-Speed.... back when they made pretty good cars! my sister's lasted over 350k miles... might still be running/driving!
Those cars are death traps
I have agree.
Shades scotty is cool!
I have owned a 74 260 Z and a 78 280 Z. Both pale in comparison to my 94 Celica.
Thank you for the ever-entertaining enlightenment, Doc Kilmer..
Last Datsun I had was a 1600 Roadster...
Great fun car... but I was great and fun back then too...
BartRicky omg! Imagine what that would be worth in mint condition today! So many Datsun’s rusted out in the States
I do like the new Nissan style though, they need to update their transmissions, CVT is either hit or miss. I like how they implemented All Wheel Drive in the Maxima and Altima. Hopefully there will be a AWD sentra and Versa!!
I've seen the Chevy dealership picture when scotty says garbage dump before, but I still burst out laughing everytime XD
or junkyard
Scotty, big fan of your videos. Can you tell me what a 2012 Corolla of good quality might be worth?
My wife bought a brand new 240sx back in 1990 with a 5 speed. She still has it and its been a great car for 30 years.
Considering taking over payments on a 2011 Nissan Xterra,but skeptical since watching some of your videos. Do you get alot of 11' Xterras coming in with problems? Thanks. Love the videos.
Ay Scotty what do you think about buying a 2013 Nissan Juke SL with around 80k miles? For a first car too?
Scotty can you do a video on Fords. Is The Edge or the Escape a good car. My kids didn't buy that Nissan Altima Saturday because I told them not to because of your videos. I was sending your videos to her as they were driving to buy the car. Thanks.
I had a 2015 Nissan Vera Note one year ago and so glad I got rid of the car even with low mileage
That Mercury Marquis is a heck of a deal. Those things are supposed to last as long as any auto you can find.
Jatco should be renamed to Junko
Shatco
JapCo
Scatco
Shitco
Scamco
Physically felt my blood pressure change when scotty recommend getting the mercury over the celica.
Same, the GT with the 1zz had some years not so hot just like the Gts 2zz, but overall they were/are great reliable fun to drive sporty cars
Scotty I just bought a 2008 Chrysler 300 with the 5.7 HEMI. Thoughts or opinions?
Scotty's you're so awesome so full of energy I like how you just get right to the point I have a 2004 Ford escape and the belt stop turning but the car starts I turned I pulled over as soon as I heard seen smelt smoke and seen smoke briefly when I went back to my car that the belt was turning again and I was able to make it home which was down the any advice for me
I haven't have any problems with my Frontier. Never had any problems with the xterra or the maxima.
Hey Scotty! I bought a 2012 V6 Mustang last year with 98,000 miles for $8,000. Got lucky and the previous owner had taken good care of it. It now has 121,000 miles and I plan to keep driving it. I drive mostly conservatively and do a good mix of Highway and city driving. What should I look out for? Thanks!
Hey Scotty, I saw this 2007 Toyota Corolla CE manual transmission for 2,732 dollars with 232,000 miles. I saw it on cargurus. It has no exterior problems. Should I buy it or leave it?
Hi @Scotty Kilmer, can you say the word on Nissan Elgrand PMV. We currently have a following foe this vehicke here in Australia for grey imports as these were never sold here by Nissan Australia. Their is currently some importer dealerships that offer 5yr parts warranties. You can pick these up here low km's(low mileage).
Just want to know what you think about them if you've come across them work wise and when did nissan go down hill? Im after an E51 model s3.
Keep up the great work and energy.
Cheers from Oz!
Hey Scotty:) Like your past videos content about snake oils.
But I was curious about the two top favourites;
1. SEA FOAM Fuel & Crankcase Additives
2. LUCAS OIL Fuel & Crankcase Additives
Particularly Sea Foam there are a few CZcams Channels that put this stuff to the "Test".
Like to hear your opinions on them both if you have the time.
Thanks Scotty
Scotty, love your channel. So much great info. I was wondering what you think about the Infiniti line. To be more specific, I've been eyeing a 2017 Infiniti Q60 3.0 for $25K with 20,521 miles on the odometer. Is it worth it??? Keep up the great work!!!😎👍🏻
Infinity are endless money pits once they age according to Scotty.
Love my 2008 Nissan 350z Nismo.. reliable and built like a tank.
The little edits on sides have me rolling 😂
I own a 370z 2014 runs great with its 6spd trans very happy with the vq engine WARD'S rates the VQ ENGINE top 10 in the world 10 years running!!!!
I dig the Nissan V6 engine
Hey Scotty,
I'm looking at a 2007 Toyota 4runner at a local used car lot, however it has 215,000 miles on it and they're asking $7,000 for it. I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy considering the legendary reliability of the 4runner, even with all the mileage. Thanks in advance.
Hi Scotty, Thanks for your videos. Is there any year or model Honda CR-v that you would stay away from?
Newest years
Scotty, is your problem with the 2ZZ engine the potential for oil starvation?
If so, what is your opinion about using the oil pan from a 1ZZ engine (it has a baffle)?
TIA
Nissan trucks have always been good. My 09 Xterra had no issues with 200k miles. Had to replace a wheel bearing and a window switch and nothing else. My 2014 Xterra is just as good.
My pathfinder is going strong from 06 with basically no major issues
Is a 2017 Nissan Maxima a bad car then? I’ve had it for 2 years and no problems but would you recommend me to change it for another car?
I miss my '82 Datsun pickup.....
But it rusted away before too long .......
Hello from Trinidad and Tobago!
hello!
Hey Scotty what’s your input on Hyundai’s new N line of vehicles??
My 95 hardbody still rocking
The 'old time' batteries for flashlights he's referring to are NiCad. They are prone to a "memory effect", if you charge them without completely draining them, it will start to "remember" how much you charged it and only charge that much, permanently.
It has to do with "spikes" that would physically build themselves into the battery that cuts down the life.
Make sure you DO NOT drain Li-ion (what's in cell phones and most modern electronics) - this is not necessary and can DEGRADE these kind of batteries.
Scotty love your videos quick question, when did Toyota start using chain for timing belt?
2002 for most camrys and they're sedan lineup
Best Nissan, 96 to 2004, Terrano/Pathfinder, particularly, the Diesel Engine version, push rod, solid cast iron, with small Turbo, (amazing economy) & had the Skyline GTR Transmission, & Nissan Patrol axles, very bullet proof. Rest of the mechanic's very simple.
What's up? I am looking at used 2015 Nissan Armada Platinum reserve with 55000 miles for around $350 to $400 a month. I am also considering the new 2020 Nissan Titans with the 9 speed automatic. What do you think would be better for a long term vehicle?
scotty..the 350z and 370z's are excelelent.. they have very little recalls and they are strong as tanks..but people do abuse them.. the best thing is that they are pretty good to service..
