rev up your engines, Christian Torres says Scotty how do you feel about
Vovo bringing cars from China to the US the Volvo s60 and 90 sold in the US market
are made in China, I think it's ridiculous are the quality worse than
the Swedish built Volvos, well Volvo has been a problem company for years I mean Ford
had affiliations, they originally made really solid cars they've had problems
over the years if they're building them in China here's the thing, the Chinese
newer cars they're built in almost totally automated factories, I know a guy
who runs one over there and he said their main problem is, the labor costs
because since the machines make most of the stuff, the guys that are there are
engineers and have to be able to fix the computer robots that build them
cuz they run them 365 days 24 hours they have a pretty high labor cost there's
less people to pay but they have to be engineers, so they might not be badly
made, but I can guarantee you the future is going that way unless people put
import taxes or something on them because it's so much cheaper to make
them in China that everybody's going to go that way, they used to move in Mexico and
they didn't have quality problems there but from what I read about the newer
Chinese factories that make cars, their pretty high tech, Rotas says Scotty is
a 2011 Nissan Cube standard transmission a good car, I found one for sale with 110,000
miles for 3500 bucks I'm not a Nissan fan by any stretch of the imagination
anymore, since Renault took over for that price and it's a standard transmission
because they have crampy automatic transmission it could be a decent
vehicle, even then still do like I say have a mechanic check it out
cuz once we hook up our scan tools like this, hey we can find if there's any
serious problems with the vehicle and hey it could last a long time you know if
you don't mind the looks, obviously you're look at them, I think those
cubes are just bizarre looking vehicles but hey, to each his own if you
like it and the mechanic says it's good, what the heck why not cuz it's a
standard transmission, Mike says Scotty what's you take if I restored a Toyota
fj40 Land Cruiser oh yeah those things can run forever
and people love them you can always sell them on, people like driving those things
around, just if you don't mind having a vehicle that is an absolute gas hog those
things in town. I had a customer with one he got like seven miles a gallon and so if
you don't mind crappy gas mileage those things are great vehicles and there's
always people looking for them worldwide, if you did a real
restoration and got it to look like OEM factory some guy in Saudi Arabia might
wanna buy it who knows they don't care about the price of gas there, monthly
fortnite content says, Scotty out of all the American car companies which one
would you choose, just asking for maybe another option besides Toyota cuz maybe
you're being paid by them, well I'm not being paid by them, if you watch the
video the other day I said that the Honda makes better engines in Toyota so
you know, I'm not getting paid by anybody like I said, I'm giving my 50 years
experience of cars to tell you what to buy, but if you did want to buy an
American car, go Ford their better than all the others, Ford and GM used
to be you know neck-and-neck but GM quality has is gone and Chrysler was always
crap and then Fiat bought them, it's like the merger of two bad companies sort of like
when Sears and Kmart merged, two bad companies merged and good things don't
come out of it, but the Ford you can get a decent Ford
and their vehicles are pretty good, Captain Cowboy says Scotty, what do you think
of a 85 Chevy Corvette with the manual transmission I'm considering buy one in
the near future, yeah well the manual transmissions
those things can be fun and you want to research your model though because each
model has values radically different than others, but always research
different year Corvettes and what they go for and how rare they are
before you plunk out any money, now since it's so old, you can't check them with
computers but I would still advise having a mechanic check it out first
just to drive it around, bring his gauges and check out a few things so you're not
getting ripped off, unless you're buying one really cheap and you're gonna fix it up,
Osorio says Scotty what do you think of the new Alfa Romeos like the Quadrifoglio
haha well they're typical Italian, especially typical alpha Romeo they
put technology those things and put out a lot of horsepower, man they're fun to
drive, but they break all the time, they're always breaking, they have no
resale value and they're way overpriced, I was watching a Top Gear guys the old
ones, I only like the old guys the new one is garbage but the old guys were really funny
they had the Italian Alfa Romeo and the one guy said, hey I'd rather get the
Mazda Miata it's more fun to drive and you know you can buy three of them for
the price of one of the Alfa Romeos and it's gonna outlast them and never break
down you know, if you got a lot of money and want a fancy sports car to zip
around in go ahead and get one they're fun, but you lose your money and they
fall apart cost a fortune to fix and here in the United States hardly anybody
knows how to work on Alfa Romeos too, so if you never want to miss another one of
my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
