You've convinced me. I'm buying a car that has a mechanic in the trunk.

@reints74

Corolla, Camry, Accord or Civic. The end.

@sandrosilva2515

I'm 16 and just got a 1991 Toyota corolla and it only had 117000 miles for $300 and used your videos to put on a water and a new alternator on it. Thank you Scotty

@mcgyverb1664

If your broke do not buy a used bmw.

@MegaRafaelloco

I revved up my engine and it blew up. You’ll be hearing from my lawyer soon.

@jasperyu9899

Anyone notice he looks like dr nefario from despicable me😂😂

@ExhaustedOfficial

Very good advice for a first time buyer, I’ve been there and these tips are spot on 👍🏻👍🏻

@BlightBlaze583

I always have wondered if this guy's neighbors hate him for screaming his head off every couple of days when he makes new videos..

@alexrios1737

I learned that the hard way. Bought my first car as a sports car used and had issues and ended up selling it for less money then I got it for.    Learned my lesson.

@anthonyher1953

Me buying a car:
I’m going to take care of my car so it’ll last as long as possible




Also me:
I paid for the whole speedometer and I’m gonna use the whole speedometer 

(Not original, stolen somewhere)

@johnrambo5619

ANY Crown Victoria. they're cheap because there were so many sold to police and taxi companies. you can get over 600,000 miles on them no problems. my 07 has 780,000 original engine and trans, and the 05 has 830, 000 with a rebuilt trans.

Scotty: my toyota celica

@yovanikcalderon7622

I'm starting to think the Celica is an actual transformer and that's why scotty loves it so much

@andrewacuna8211

My first car was Acura tl. It’s got 200k miles and my only complaint is the clunky transmission. Pretty impressed considering the transmission hasn’t been replaced

@spruceguitar

If SCOTTY had composed the song IMAGINE before John Lennon did, it would have sounded something like this:

“Imagine there’s no Volkswagen...
It’s easy if you try
No S-Class besides us
Above us no Skyactive...

Ima-gine  ALL  TO-YO-TAS 
Living life in peace...
Yoo-hoo - oo- hoo ...”

@Imtotallydiggingthis

My first car is a Mercedes. Bad idea? Could have been, but i paid very little for it, I'm doing dirty fixes as I go, and so far, it's been a very cheap car to own. It will be ready for the junk yard when I am done with it, but now I ride comfortably for cheap money. Win!

@KennyTriton

My recommendations for a first vehicle?

1 - '92 and up Honda civic.
According to people i've talked to, these are the easiest to wrench on. I read a comment somewhere that on the '92 to '95 model, a 10 inch, 12 inch, and a 14 inch wrench can take apart 90% of the car. Civics are also a lot of fun, even in their worst condition. My only honda so far was a '91 Civic DX special edition sedan, that i paid 500$ for as a winter beater. The kid i bought it off of didn't tell me the head gasket was broken, so the car overheated after the coolant bled out. It didn't live to see the end of winter, but I didn't care. It survived long enough.

2 - '88 - '98 Chevrolet C/K 1500 OR GMC Sierra 1500
Also very easy to wrench on, and if you have the 350 V8 engine, VERY EASY to get parts for in North America. Plus, these trucks are virtually indestructible. There's a reason you still see tons of these 20-30 year old trucks, some still in showroom condition. You want to get menial tasks done involving a truck, this is the truck you want. However, Consider that gas mileage and gas prices are very high so gas will eat up your budget harder than the insurance will. However the longevity of these vehicles will mean you won't be spending money on a new vehicle anytime soon.

3 - Pretty much Any Mazda B-series mini-truck.
Mini-trucks are practically cheating in the automotive world. These things are capable of doing any moving job for very little gas. My brother's first vehicle was an '89 Mazda b2200 and he drove that thing for a few years. He sold it to a guy in 100 mile house, BC (where he served in the RCMP) and when he left for Vancouver Island about 7 years later...the guy who bought his truck was STILL driving it.
You might point out that the Mazda B-series and the Ford Ranger are the same truck. Ford's earlier Rangers are good starters, but apparently the newer ones are meant to be disposable. Also, my mechanic discovered that around the year 2000, Ford stopped putting their trade-ins back on the lot, they began destroying them in order to keep backyard mechanics from getting parts easily, and forcing ford owners to buy new trucks. A dick move perhaps, but did ford need a bailout back in '08?

4 - Pretty much any Toyota Camry
Toyota's track record might be the best of any car manufacterer. The Camry is a solid sedan with one goal - Get you around, point A to Point B. If you don't care about what you drive and you only want something that's going to get you around and almost never breaks down, Get a Camry. Or a Corolla. My auntie, who doesn't know jack about cars, drove an '05 Corolla for a long time, and then bought an '05 Camry. To her it's the perfect car.

5 - Pretty much any Jeep Cherokee
You want to go 4-wheeling? Check. Want longevity? Check. Only have about 2 grand to spend? Check. Easy to fix and a large aftermarket for parts? You want the Jeep Cherokee model. these things are all over the place, and they can 4x4 pretty much anywhere. Also, there's lots of 20-30 year old ones still cruising the city streets, meaning these things can last a long time. However, since they're popular for 4-wheeling, odds are the previous owners have abused them. So make sure a good mechanic does a Pre-Purchase inspection so you don't get a cherokee that some guy drowned in a mud bog a few summers back.
