@Scotty Kilmer
How reliable were the old Shelby gt 500? The originall
@ Scotty Kilmer
What are your thoughts on a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta SE with 1.8L engine
Speech less
The Neon was made in Belvidere Illinois. I thought. When were they made in Mexico?
Scotty I'm helpless, I own a VW jetta mk6 TDI 2.0 and the abs and brakes error has come on after getting the car washed (the cheap sprayed the engine bay). The thing is the brakes works just fine and the error goes away if I start the car up with the brakes pressed and keep em pressed. They reoccur as soon as i release the brakes. What could be the issue? The dealership wants to replace the ABS module but that doesn't seem right to my amateur eyes. Please help!
My friend bought an old Mercedes it looked clean but within a year he stuck about $7,000 in it. He is a truck driver so he is on the road a lot so he rarely drove it. He put it up for sale just to recoup his cost of the car not the repairs. A college girl came with her dad and wanted it . He would not sell it to her explaining to her and her dad that it was an endless money pit. He eventually sold it to a guy that was a mechanic.
Why would the mechanic buy the endless money pit?
@@sungleong he can fix it with cheap parts and free labor.
@@sungleong- He doesn't have to pay anyone for labor. He has lines on the best parts suppliers. And, being a professional mechanic in the business, suppliers will treat him right, repeat business, trade discounts.
When he needs specialty work like line boring, same deal. Repeat business, guaranteed, trade discounts.
When you, the do-it-yourselfer, need parts, you will spend hours hunting for the best prices for top quality parts. Then, as you are almost certainly a one-time customer, phooey on you. Treat you well enough that you won't bad-mouth them but you won't get trade discounts. Same for machine work.
@@algrayson8965 Explains why the mechanic I go to drives a 2018 Volvo XC90
That was good of him to show integrity when selling it.
I lived in Germany years ago and seeing 20+ year old Porsches being used as daily drivers was a common sight. I have a hard time seeing them as an unreliable car, consumer reports has often given them top marks for reliability as well.
In the usa, the manufacturers need to make them less reliable
@@Kauffman578 I thought Porsches are 100% imported. Not Made in US?
@@UnitedShredNation lets put it this way. Imported European cars made for the usa market are purposely manufactured to be less reliable with the exception of tata Jaguar/Range Rover cars. They are unreliable pos everywhere; they do no discriminate.
@@Kauffman578 Complete nonsense, they are all made on the same assembly line (and yes, I have visited the factory myself).
@@paulds65 good for you. I have visited many places and by that I understand the operations of those places thoroughly?
I have owned two Porsche 911...a 996 and now a 997.2. My 996 I bought for $20k, was incredibly reliable for 5 years, and sold it for $25k making it the cheapest car I ever owned. The 997.2 is proving to be extremely reliable as well, and will likely also go up in value when I sell it. Oh and it makes me smile every time I am behind the wheel. Most of my friends that buy used 911 and know how to maintain them have the exact same story. Best value in any cars (and have owned a few other brands along the way).
Excellent cars, I drive a 2010 997.2 with 176k miles on it.
scotty doesnt know anything about german cars, he says BMWs are more reliable then vw/audi/porsche/mercedes
What would you recommend for maintenance besides oil change and rotation? I’m new to this whole thing.
@@phillipdoucet7171 Look up the schedule, depends heavily on the year of the car.
Depends on years. 997 and 987 gen 1 and I guess 996 and 986, AOS (air oil separator). Also, all Those plastic pipes that get brittle with heat cycles need replacing. Oil cooler seals. Idle pulleys. Just off the top of my head if you go and pick one of those cars up and want it somewhat reliable. Watch out for rear control modules under the drivers seat of those boxsters, they can get wet and corrode causing gremlins. Oh, and shift cables for manuals. They let loose around 80k. Oh and alternator to transmission portion cable, bad crimps from the factory as well as check the frunk positive battery terminal on the firewall for corrosion. Those will cause slow cranking as a symptom and will end up killing the starter. I think I read that the clutch pedal can get really still if it’s time for a new clutch, hasn’t happened to me yet. Then there is all of the dchunk, bore scoring, and ims bearing hooplah. All worth it, love my 997 and 987 Boxster
Toyota's monthly check must have bounced again
😂
worst car i ever had
Lol
Sean Brannigan you must of had a lemon, nothing wrong with toyota
Sean Brannigan
The new Toyota’s suck because their tech is old but their trucks/4runners/ land cruisers are great since they last forever.
Concerning the reliability of Porsche: here in Germany they're amongst the cars with the highest resale value. This is partly due to the fact that they have built a solid reputation for reliable sport cars. Repairs are expensive but very often predictable. Just don't buy a pile of junk like mentioned in the video for 12k - some people don't get it. They have to have an excellent maintenance history. Period.
Repairs are always predicable because Porsche owners are extremely detailed with maintenance. You don't buy a Porsche with transmission issues and needs a rebuild, you buy the one that has had it already done. After that it will probably go for another 100,000 miles no problem. Especially the carrera 3.2 from the 80's. Those are bullet proof, I have yet to see one have extremely major issues that where not predictable.
Porsche is straight overpriced trash.
@@righteousone1 wrong. They have some of the best resale out of any car. If you buy a 7yr old Porsche and keep it for five years and you take care it, you should break even (normal car market)
Resale is very high here too 😢😭
I've owned Hondas, Nissans, Fords, Audis, Lincoln, Mazda, Hyundai, VWs and Porsche. The Lincoln and Porsche had the most expensive repairs, but the parts were engineered better and needed less frequent repairs so overall they were the least expensive to own. Fords actually cost me the most...cheap parts, but more broke down because the engineering wasn't there. I would agree that Porsche trim, mainly interior parts, are not as well engineered, but the mechanicals and body are better than most brands if well maintained. The key is not skimping on maintenance. You are paying for performance with Porsche. Performance pushes many components to a point where they need more attention than the average car. Camrys last a long time because they are built pretty well, but they also tolerate neglect better. And most people neglect, not baby their cars.
I bought a used 944S Porsche in 1993 with about 55,000 miles on it. It was in very good condition and I had a pre-purchase inspection done on it by a reputable independent Porsche shop, who verified that there were no issues with the car. Having a garage and tools, I did most of the maintenance and simple repairs myself and brought it to either of two good independent Porsche shops in my city, San Diego, for more involved stuff. I drove the car for about 10 more years and put on about 100,000 more miles on the car. The car was more expensive to operate than the Ford Pinto that I had before but was not terribly more expensive. I was very proactive in doing good preventive maintenance and replaced components that I knew there were issues with before they broke down. I did research on the car to find out what the problem areas were and I solicited best advice from the good mechanics I found at the two shops in San Diego, Black Forest and Dieter's.
Im about to do this
@@sumtingwong8768 I only drive mine when it’s not raining or snowing but other than that my NA 944 is a super fun daily, but keep in mind unless you buy a mint 944, you’re gonna be chasing issues pretty much constantly, but mine has been super reliable for commuting
This is exactly it with Porsches, it's all about maintenance.
If you drive it to the wheels fall off like a lot of people do with their vehicles you'll be bitterly disappointed.
I’m just checking in to make sure this is the real Scotty.
It was.
It might be a Pod People Scotty.
Me too!🙄
@Boris Pernichev they are fun to drive when fresh off the dealer, its maintaining it that is the EMP story when the years go by.
Lol
Porsche’s actually hold great resell value.
You don’t know what you are talking about. They hold excellent resell value lol 😂
Yeah old ones
alex massey even the new ones
Yup there resale value holds very well and happen to a reliable car they are expensive to fix if do have a major failure but not typical 2016 cayman and nothing but an oil change once a year!
@@BX2CT well said.... If you are not a mechanic you are f***😂😂😂
I own 2 Porsche. 1 has 141000 miles the other has 89000 miles. Neither one has ever given me any trouble. Just like any vehicle if you take care of it it will take care of you. Porsche are very reliable
It is said that a Rolls Royce does not break down it "fails to proceed"
😂
@@Hunter-pk7ym That profile picture though😂😂🤣🤣
@@CoffeeOn 😂😂😂
My Porsche was very reliable for all of my 7 years of ownership until a rich guy saw it and purchased it from me. I enjoyed every minute of ownership I did spend $2k to bulletproof the engine and replaced all plastic tubing with steal and tadaaaaa the car was super reliable!
Where did you get the steel tubing from? Did you make it your self?
Where did you find the rich car
My brother in-law bought a 2005 Porsche Boxster new with a stick shift. He drove it to 60k with zero problems. He replaced the front brake pads and rotors himself as a DIY. He is still driving it and he is vary happy with it.
It's easier to break through the white house than to find a Scotty video without the words: endless money pit!
I would sell my Toyota and buy Mercedes just to say hi to you
@@Rollingace I wouldn't reply back! Nobody with a right mind would buy that endless money pit!
Rachel Richmond 😅😅😅
@@jean9132 my 400k miles perfectly reliable and awesome Highlander awaits you! 😂
Rolling ace Someone’s thirsty...
This is weird... But in Europe I saw on a poll that Porsche was in top 3 of reliability along Toyota and Lexus. It seems it had one of the lowest number of failures per vehicle rate here. Other expected companies were at the bottom such as Maserati, Tesla and Land Rover. That for relatively new vehicles, of course.
Porsche leads the pack when it comes to reliability.
As in you’re going to need a reliable mechanic if you decide to buy one.
Well, I have owned a 99 Boxster since new. It was a daily driver until I retired. Never had an issue with it until 96,000 miles when the alternator went. Finally replaced clutch at 98,000. Still runs like a top. Car owes me nothing. Can't say the same about the Toyotas or the Acura I owned. Don't get me wrong. I think those were good cars too but had issues with them before they hit 50k.

@@nickpappas4133 I did forget to mention that it is a blast to drive.
Scott, Porsche seems to be the ONLY car you can buy that owners will tell you they've had it at the track and your not afraid to buy it. They seem pretty darn reliable to me.
Best car decision I ever made was bringing a Porsche to an independent Porsche Specialist for a PPI . The shop said the car was well-maintained and I bought it. This is how you buy a Porsche. If a person/dealer won't let you bring the car to an indy shop then walk away.
Thank you I will most definitely put my foot down
I recently sold my 987.2 Porsche Boxster. It was an amazing and reliable machine. It was certified preowned and I never needed to use the warranty!
No issue with the IMS when you owned yours ?
Expensive cars are expensive to maintain? What a shocker
The shocker for most people is that even if the car has depreciated and become affordable, the repair bills won't follow suit.
@@rdmz135 true, poor people buy nice cars that once were expensive and cant afford to maintain them and sell them off beaten to death. Exactly how some cars get a bad rep for being "unreliable".
@@muumuumu its their to drive them like this. regardless of how you drive a performance car, it was not made to last but to drive fast. its not about reliability. if you want a reliable car buy a small one because that is their purpose
@@emiliospowerballer1441 exactly they promise you a fun and fast car they dont promise you a reliable one and you can change the plastics on bmws they have very reliable transmissions and engines they choose not to use metal parts even toyota used plastic parts uts just that they're parts are higher in quality and they actually dont produce as much heat as a porsha or a BMW
The way he laughs with the laughing memes Lol🤣😂😭
I don’t think I’m the exception but I bought a 2006 E500 wagon in 2014 with 96k miles and it currently has 186k miles and I never spent a dime on it besides normal oil service and 1 air strut. Super value, great car. It’s horribly inaccurate to say they are unreliable or money pits. No regrets.
My dad passed away a couple of years ago. He left me his 2001 E class Mercedes with half a million miles.
Zero problems
My mom bought one a year before.
Almost half a million miles.
One problem in 02/03. Nothing else since
All the best to everyone
I've had 2 and MANY problems including strandings despite excellent maintenance by factory techs.
Richard Patton diesel??
Flat4Fan yes. Sorry I forgot to mention that
@@Dragunov302 diesel mercs are very good cars but Scotty seems to forget they exist
@@qlus They’re not too common in the United States that’s probably why.
A friend of mine married a knock-out German girl- met her when he was stationed at Ramstein Air Base. Married for about 8 years, divorced no children, he's embittered because she turned out to be an EMP- Endless Money Pit
EMP Strike has a whole new meaning now.
Porsche traction is great, my friend got a 911 newer version and it was raining, he went around a highway bend at 80 mph and the rear end stuck out, luckily ESP and tractions control settings saved his live.
@2:17 “what should I look out for my Toyota?”
Scotty: “other drivers” 😂
Both of the cute cats are scared of the tiger in front 🤣
I cannot get my eyes of the two cat guards.
My 2017 911 blew its water pump at 27K. Now it's in the shop because the clutch pedal makes a "sproing" sound and the left muffler assembly is being replaced because the active valve failed. Thank God for leases and warranty!
Edit: The dealer called, the car is ready. New clutch pedal assembly, new muffler, and a $400 oil change... The almost $8K in other repairs is Porsche's problem...
My 1987 911 is running strong with 732,569 miles, zero maintenance performed ever, no oil ever added, always full tank of gas and clean of dirt without washing. Truly amazing car. 10/10
Your problems are just beginning.
FepXBL damn! I’m sure the engine had to be rebuilt?
Your mistake is not owning an air cooled Porsche
FepXBL yep. Great. Car
😂 Scotty that story about your son happened to me the exact same way a few months ago too! Except mine was with a military registered vehicle lol
What I love about Porsche is it’s Flat 6 engine, it’s sounds great
Nothing like the sound of a air cooled flat 6 on the pipe.
Just buy a Continental of lycoming engine , from Piper, Cessna, etc. Planes have these!
I personally haven't really encountered many oustanding reliability issues with Porsche (though obviously they pale in comparison with Honda and Toyota) but yeah once something goes wrong the price to get it fixed is absurd.
kidthorazine Yeah, that’s the big thing. Even routine maintenance can be very expensive. If you make a good living, it’s not really a problem. Where people run into difficulties is they get a ‘great deal’ on one & fail to take the $3-7,000 a year it’s gonna take to keep it running well, especially since many of those engines need to be dropped to work on.
@@susanmaggiora4800- Yeah, like the entire front subframe with everything that is on it. Suspension, steering, etc., etc. in addition to the engine and transaxle.

I drove my Porsche Cayen Turbo S for over 6 years and never had a day of a problem.
I own a 2004 Porsche Cayenne V6. Bought it used. It’s not that bad to fix, works well, super comfortable and the problems it had when I bought it weren’t hard to sort out. Only last thing to do is replace the semi working air suspension with coil overs. They work but it needs new sensors. Gonna worry about it in the fall not now. Only into this car for $5,000 after purchase and repairs and it’s solid @ 130k miles.
The maintenance costs are a scam . I agree. But porsche makes one of if not the best performance sportscar on the road. Dont be salty because you got light pockets
If I had deep pockets, I would own a Porsche and a Range Rover. I could drive one while the other was in the shop. I would also have a Corolla handy just in case they were both in the shop at the same time.
@@ld4974 guess you have to own one to know. Owned a boxster and a 911. No issues at all. Except for the maintenance costs. I would never buy a rover lol
@@bp7770 GI probably wouldn't either. Just messing with you.

Another great video.....Greetings from Poland
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Scotty that's hilarious! I was going to say! I recalled on many instances in your past videos that Porsches/VWs/Audi/etc were pains in the @$$ with regards to reliability and very costly repair!
I love your videos and most of all helpful advice! And your jokes make it better!
Wow I just saw a Porsche on the road (I was admiring it at the time) and CZcams recommended me this vid :O
They already knew that you saw it and were thinking about it.
Love ya vids
If you're going to buy a Porsche
Get a 911. I'd buy a 911 if I can.
Brian Lee I want a 993 or a new 2020 992
Got a 996 convertible that is a blast!
@@vladimirchervenkov6949 - Yes, 993 series is the best iteration of the air-cooled 911. Very reliable. I'd suggest the normally aspirated Carrera S. Turbo is a lot of fun, but can be a challenge for the inexperienced (oversteer).
Arrow Dog thank you for your insight. I really hope to own a Porsche 911 one day. They’re one of the best cars ever produced and everybody knows the name
The old school boxsters ain't bad well mine isn't been very reliable for me
Scotty I had a dodge neon and I loved it it was my first car...only thing that happened was the ac broke twice and my work wards left oil drain plug off and all oil drained out had to have engine rebuilt...but I loved it it ran perfect and no noisy pieces plastic..lot of room and I could spend 10 dollars a week in the year 99 and 2000 for gas to and from work ..I got into a wreck and totaled it.. but I had good experienced...and I trust ur advice
Speaking of Neon.
I actually saw an SRT Neon the other day. Haven't seen one of those in a coons age.
Ive got a 2005 Dodge Neon SxT 2.0, and its ran like new since 05. Im the second owner. And done all the service on it. Biggest job ive done was R+R the water pump + timing belt + pulleys. Other than that just been basic service oil struts plugs ECT. My 1989 camry V6 with 173k miles is worse then the neon.
Porsches are fast sportscars. They are full of overengineered technology. Ofcourse they are not reliable. Give me another car that beats a Porsche on track which is reliable. McLaren ? Lamborghini ? Ferrari ? For those you will have to shell out even more on repair bills.

Hey Scotty today I worked on a 2011 Honda Civic SI with 349,742 miles on it. I thought that was insane
You flew into Love Field in Dallas. Best state fair I've been to.
One of my favorite sayings in regards to cars is, “ if you can’t afford it new, don’t buy it used.”
Scotty hasn't looked at used 911 prices recently... one of the few older used cars that appreciate.
Scotty my 67 caprice with a 327 and had a turbo 400 i used to have, i bought it with a shift kit already installed. I loved it and i want to put one in my next car i get. What are your thoughts on shift kits
90% of all porsches (ever made) going all the way back to the 50's are still read worthy! 10% for ford. So that's not what I consider unreliable
That’s not because they’re reliable. It’s because they have a following & people like to keep them going by spending lots of money on them.
FINALLY A VIDEO I COMPLETELY AGREE ON.
bought a 2006 porsche cayenne early 2019 with 180,000 miles and has been running SMOOTHLY since.
not even a tuneup yet, just small maintenance here and there when necessary. excellent driving experience, and fun/luxurious too. 😊
Porsche is the most reliable german brand (minus gen 1 boxsters and mid 2000s auto 911)

Speaking of the State Fair my father in law was the voice of Big Tex, Jim Lowe.
You wouldn't be caring about reliability if you are buying a Porsche
If you're a backyard mechanic, a modern used porsche boxster or cayman is a very reliable and fairly easy car to repair (a lot of parts have decent suitable substitutes or can be had for a song, since many parts are shared with VW). I bought a heavy mile 2005 boxster for 13 grand, and have only spent $1400 (over the past 3.5 years) in parts to fix old and new problems. For the shear fun, it's been completely worth it. Just sayin'
I’m thinking of buying a 987.1 cayman S 2006. I have no knowledge of how to fix a car or anything. I will make sure I get a good car but do you think it will be reliable
I ❤️❤️Scotty. You tell them buddy !!
My 16 year old Cayenne S V8 is very reliable and wants for nothing except basic oil changes. Had it several years and I'd buy it again for sure!
I got to drive a body shop alignment 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera. Some poor bastard bought it used somewhere. After I finished the alignment and began test driving it, I have never felt so disappointed and sad. The clutch was slipping, and some old man in a Buick started tailgating me to speed up lol. I didn't expect it to be that bad. It didn't even slip in the parking lot haha.
7:11 them seals.....
😃😃😃
Don't even try to remove an o2 sensor without heating the pipe around it cherry red.
You don't need a fancy o2 sensor wrench if you're replacing it, cut the wires right at the end of the old sensor and use a 6 point wrench or deep socket.
Poor people, always looking for that car that will last forever WITHOUT ANY MAINTENANCE. lol 😂 Looking for unicorns 🦄 lol 😂
Let’s not forget the Porsche intermediate shaft bearing fiasco of the early 2000’s. My fire department still has its 1954 Jeep CJ-3B. The power train is original except for the clutch. I used to take that Jeep where angels feared to tread. We replaced it with a 2010 pickup, which is way safer and more comfortable.
Had a 911 beautiful car required a tune up every two weeks if you went pass the tune up it would spit and sputter by the end of the month. Tune up was cheap $70.00 timing and carbs adjusted.
They're always in the top 5 in reliability surveys.
Hi Scotty can't wait for the app
Scotty, what are your thought on the ABS systems? I tend to think that having only one or two wheels stopping. isn't that effect as having more than two trying to stop a car. If I pull the fuse on this system, will it damage anything else?
No, it will not damage anything but your changes of crashing in an emergency stop are way higher than with ABS active. Good luck!
So who here owns a Porsche that was unreliable because my 2005 Boxster S has 203,000 miles on it with just regular maintenance and has never broken down. There’s a reason they’re now rated second behind Lexus.
The next video up in my playlist is Scotty's "Did I just buy a Porsche for my Birthday".
Just bought a 2010 Lincoln executive L with over 1million kms on her and It runs on propane and gas. I was told the transmission was replaced and its the original engine black on black interior thats almost perfect. I paid $800 for her and shes called Beauty..lol and this is a testiment to Ford and Lincoln. I drove this car home on Friday the way it was with no problems it needs a little TLC cosmetics but being an ex limo service car the owner regreted selling it his wife was on his case my gain his loss. A million kms latter and still on the road says alot when American cars were this well built we are up here in Toronto Canada. 😎👍
Not sue where he’s getting his information, but I have been driving Porsche’s since 1975, having owned a dozen or more, including different models, and never had any major problems. Porsche and Genesis took the two top spots in Consumer Reports most reliable automotive brands. According to J.D. Power, Porsche second place in overall reliability with Toyota. Maintenance isn’t cheap, but it’s not that expensive, especially when compared to other exotic cars, and there are plenty of shops that work on Porsche’s.
You killed my dream again Scotty. But ya you saved me.
You know the WORST? When there are 7 commercials/advertisements whilst watching ONE video!
I have a 1974 Corolla. 120, 000 km. Goes great !
Basically supercars are cars tuned by expensive companies that will charge you tons more money to maintain.
Scotty is an antidote for commercials of luxury sports cars carving through canyons without any traffic.
Scotty, I have a 2014 Toyota Highlander (Kluger in Australia) and it's AWD. My understanding is that the car operates in 2WD mode and automatically activates AWD under extreme operating conditions. Is this correct?
I haven’t seen a $2000 Porsche in quite a while. I’d love to see a link to one because I would be a buyer at that price!
I got a 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with 106,986 miles on it. Paid $146,000 back then. I still have it, 6 years now. Never...... ever...... had a problem. Today it flies like a newborn falcon. Any model car is reliable if you don't drive it like a go kart, keep parts lubricated, change the oil & take care of it. Porsche has been good to me & not a money pit. Sorry Scotty, you were wrong about this one.
My Porsche Cayman S has been completely reliable with no huge repair bills.
Is it still? I’m looking to buy one
I’m looking to buy a 2006 cayman S 987.1 what do you think
Have two subarus,both with over 100k one with almost 300k, besides cv's now and then, trans habe never needed work. Had another subaru but that ones engine was dying. Trans and drivettain, no issue though. Just got a 2020 wrx today, love it already.
I love this Gem is a straight shooter right to the point
Hey Scotty what's your thoughts on Porsche V8 engines? Do Porsche make good V8 engines, and better than boxer engines?
I mean it kind of makes sense for a mechanic to say that Porsches are unreliable mechanics only ever see the ones that have issues the ones that don't are happily trudging down the road
1991 neon lasted me 233k miles until the intake gasket and slave cylinder went out on it... bought it for $160 sold it for $560
Your love affair with Japanese cars clouds your judgement. I have a 2011 Cayenne Turbo with 125,000 miles. It has needed tires, brakes, fluid changes, etc. The only repair has been a new door latch for the left rear door. Has been exactly as reliable as my wife’s Matrix and has flat out embarrassed my F150 when it comes to reliability.
You have been lucky, now get rid of it and buy Lexus RX350 naturally aspirated engine.. If you want something luxury that will last get Lexus, everything else = money pit
I had a 1998 Dodge Neon R/T with DOHC engine which lasted 700,000 miles. Head gasket leaked and changed by dealer and had to replace the fifth gear. Other that paying for the fifth gear being replaced the only other major problem was a blown head gasket at 700k miles.
Hey Scotty, I got a Mustang GT 2015. What are your recommended maintenance schedule and any preventative things I can do?
Scotty's channel is the most car buyer, car user friendly channel ever. There's no arguing that!
Not really because he's not the most open minded reviewer
That's typically what you hear from people who cant afford one . Endless money pits blah blah. Great cars fun to drive. Dont be mad you cant afford one or to cheap to pay to maintain them
@MINDustry owned 2 Porsches zero issues . Maintenance fees are a rip off I agree. It's a money pit if you dont got any money. I'm not rich by any means
@MINDustry I've had more issues on my f150 than I've had from my 2 Porsches.
@MINDustry any air cooled Porsche ever made is far from a money pit. Even if you have to repair them and say spend 10k on a 993 repair it would still be an appreciating asset
@MINDustry no actually owned both Porsches. I've never leased a car. But you do have a point i upgraded around 5 years to a new one. And have had it for 5 years with no issues. So 10 yrs with no issues is a win for me. Btw I drove both as my daily. They didnt just sit in a garage
Thanks for your videos Scotty. I keep telling people with vehicle issues. Ask Scotty, trying to pass the word Scotty great videos.
I am thinking about buying a 2007-2009 lexus is250 or 350 for about 5000-6000. What are your thoughts? Do these really need premium fuel?
