rev up your engines, mr. Herrera says a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse is for sale the
guy is selling it for 1,200 bucks but there's damage from hitting a deer, I want to
take it up for my first project car, runs and drives 140,000 miles is it a good buy, well
$1,200 and it's damaged, no bodywork cost a fortune, now if it's all smashed up in
the front but it still runs and stuff, offer the guy $800 or something for it
cuz bodywork costs too much money to do correctly and if you want to learn how
to do it yourself great, but you don't pay much for a body damaged car, odds are
the car's got more damage than the cars worth, get a car like that if the guy let
you drive it, drive it to a body shop and say what would it cost to fix this and
you'll find out it'll probably be 2 or 3 times what you're paying for the car, now
if you can get it for you know 800 bucks or something you want to try to fix it
yourself, go right ahead but I wouldn't put too much time and energy or money
into a car like that if it hit a deer, Steve lee says Scotty is low mileage just
as bad as high mileage at a certain age of a car being bought used, being left
standing to long, of course standing too long is bad for a car there's no arguing
that, you would actually have to know the history of a car if you're buying it use
for example, say you're going to an estate sale, maybe it's somebody's car that's passed
away and it's sat for eight years and wasn't used hardly at all, yeah all the
seals are dry and rot and you don't want to buy a car like that, but it was a car
that somebody's only driving two three thousand miles a year, it's perfectly
fine to buy it that way, the metal of the engine isn't gonna wear any out, but if
you get a 20 year old car, all those rubber seals are gonna start wearing and
cracking just from plain age, so that's the stuff that you have to check out if
you're buying a car that was old and was low mileage, but generally they're
pretty good cars as long as they're not all dry rot, you're probably going to have to buy new
tires if the tires are old but a lot of the other stuff could be, just
never pay much for a car that's really old, doesn't matter how many miles it has
on it, they're just not worth all that much money, milk says what do
you think about owning a Mercedes 190e 2.0 gas engine, their strong engines
they can run a long time if you change the oil regularly, that 4 cylinder 2 liter
mercedes engine is a well-made engine, that said if it's got an automatic
transmission they're extremely slow vehicle, they're having vehicle with a
four-cylinder engine, and they were never that popular the United States, now if
you're in Europe and you're buying one that has a standard transmission, it could be a
very good fun car to drive around, its got enough horsepower to run
a standard transmission, but it isn't that good for an automatic transmission
so you know if it's in Europe and it's a standard transmission, go ahead but
if it's in the United States and it's automatic I'd pass and buy something else
Aaron ditch says Scotty I got a tapping noise in the rear brake after I
changed the pads that were worn to the plates, first thing you want to do is look
at the rotors, I got a video I just put up a few weeks ago, how you fix your
car when shaking when you're driving when you brake, you want to check those
rotors because if they're warped or you can feel ridges on them, you're gonna
have to change the rotors because that's gonna make that noise or if you don't
care just live with the noise it isn't gonna hurt anything, you do want to check
it they'll make sure all the parts are in there tight all the hardware's in and
that the bolts are on tight and that you didn't leave anything loose, but if
everything is on tight, odds are the rotors are worn and if you don't care about the noise
live with, but if you don't like the noise buy new rotors, aftermarket rotors
these days are so cheap and easy to get, you could just replace them they don't
cost all that much, JB soldier says I got a Nissan Altima with one hundred and
fifty seven thousand miles, I changed the oil every 3,000 miles how much life do you
think I have, okay the weakest things of those things were their automatic
transmissions and after that is the engines, if your engine does not burn oil
now, now maybe it burns a quart between changes that's nothing, but as long as
doesn't burn an excessive amount of oil, the engine is still in good shape and it
might last a while and if it's an automatic transmission if it still shifts
good, it could last a while but if it burns a lot of oil or the transmission
doesn't shift right, get rid of it now because they become endless money pits
since it's with that mileage and its aged, it's worth nothing anyways, so you mind as
well just take care of it and drive it and see, you never know you never know
Peter what do you think about a 2014 honda cr-v XL with 36,000 miles made in Canada
oh those are great vehicles, Canadians know how to make cars, I went to my first
University York University in Toronto and Canada obviously, and I know guys
that worked in the factories there and they did excellent work, they made great
vehicles, I had a Ford Maverick that was made in Oakville Ontario that was one of the
best vehicles I've ever had, I paid 500 bucks for it and I drove it for ten
years all over North America, down to Texas all over the place, Canadians make
good cars, buy one that's been made in Canada, my wife sold matrix that's now my car, it was
made in Cambridge Ontario, Canadians make good cars you know, if I get a choice
about a car, I I can get one made in Canada, believe me I'll buy one
M1A2 says Scotty I have an 85 Ford Mustang, which engine should I
swap or rebuild the 5.0, rebuild the 5.0 or get a long block 5.0 that's
already been remanufactured, those are great engines they're strong they can
last a long time, those are good engines I wouldn't start
swapping, you start swapping things it's modern enough 85, if you swap the engines
you're gonna have to do all kinds of computer reprogramming and sensors and
wiring it would be a giant pain in the butt and a five liter is a very good
engine, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!
