The best way to check a used AUTOMATIC transmission is to reverse up a hill (5-10% gradient) and see if it slips on you or makes a rumbling sound. The reverse is usually the most under-engineered components to save money, but it shows you the preview of what is to come for your low (highest speeds, most used) gears later on.

@willieobermann5305 4 года назад

That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

@jasonallen6836 4 года назад

better yet, put the car in neutral, rev to about 4,000 RPMs, then pull the car into drive with the engine revved. This is the quickest way to see what is broken.

Cheap car? Scotty: 94 CELICA

@STho205 5 лет назад

Nima Nejad. Hard to find them "cheap" considering they are 25 year old econoboxes that are sooooooooooo dependable, they were mostly ignored on service after ten years. They have been so hyped as the most dependable car ever, most people want 2500 ++ even if they are dented up beaters with rotted away paint, worn and torn seats, smoky and mildew smells, bald tires... A 94 Camry for $1200 is fine, new seat covers or junkyard seats, tires, minor top end work,and even a cheap macco paint job would get you a $2100 car that is better than a recent used money pit. You have to get it with room in your budget to spend at least $500 the first year shaking out the problems of the last owner. I just went through this search for my daughters first college commuter. First target was early 90s Camry/Corolla. Nah, overpriced and gross is all I found. Next were Civics. Similar. Eventually found a clean car 11 years old for $2000, but I knew it needed plugs, some coils, valve cover gasket. $500 later i got a good, tuned, safe $2500 car with 110k miles that should be good for 2-4 years. Finish price must be less than $1100/year or you may as well buy late model (or a new loss leader small S car) from a dealer. 1st owner does all maintenance under warranty 2nd owner does half the needed maintenance Auction then washes the car 3rd owner does 1/4 the needed maintenance Auction then washes the car again 4th owner buys on time and gets repoed Payday lot then washes the car and replaces the stolen radio 5th owner does no maintenance and regularly stores fast food rotting trash and soiled diapers in the car Repeat. When you get into 10+ year old cars. Count the transfers. The more owners, the worse shape the car is in. If it has been at auction more than once, it is a DOG.

I agree about the Cougars, but the Cougars are REALLY hard to find. My friend had a '70 Cougar for 18 years, it had a little rust and needed a little work back in 2014, still in good running shape, but some guy saw it and offered him $25,000 on the spot, since he was from up north and never saw cars like it.

@jacksagrafsky4936 5 лет назад

Thanks Scotty, this video should be the lesson that all buyers of older cars SHOULD be made to watch. This covered just about all the number one issues of what to look for when buying a car that is older then yourself. And when the car has gotten a good grade then you also should be ready to negotiate a PRICE that is fair and within your budget, which would take in any things that would need to be fixed. No old car comes without flaws so expect to have items fixed. like tires, brakes, AC, interior, and any modifications you want to do when it becomes YOUR car. Thanks Scotty a great video as always.

@vulpixgrant 5 лет назад

Sweet advice from the King! Thanks Scotty for taking the time for one of these videos! I just can't believe that people don't contact their insurance company when they are buying a car, hell I go there first to get a quote before I decide if I want a car. Insurance can be sky high on some cars lol. Then if I get it I give em a call let them know I bought it and am heading over there to get the cards.

Look for 1. Rusted thru the metal underneath. Rotten. 2. Check brake fluid lines 3. Parts availability 4. Check the coolant - nice and clean 5. Check the oil - is it still full. If not it has burned off. Is it clear? 6. Test drive - Check overheating; Aircon working; Engine OK? transmission ok? tracking OK? Suspension OK? Tyres wearing evenly? 7. Rev it up at start up check exhaust fumes - if any is visible beware. 8. Check the registration papers 9. Make sure of Insurance BEFORE driving it off after buying it. OK, I improvised.

I will certainly keep these new tips in mind and further research before I make the buy.

You'll have a good idea of how severe the accident was and you could save thousands of dollars buying a salvage title vs a normal accident free car.

yeah stay the hell away from the 99-02 Corollas with that 1zz engine. I owned a 99 as my first car, the oil consumption was so terrible I was spending more on oil every week than I was in gas. It got so bad that the engine would actually FLOOD with oil and wouldn't start without 10 minutes of cranking and letting it rest. It went about 120k KM without a proper oil change because it'd get a fresh gallon every damn week. The problem was fixed after 02 model.

I have a 2004 with almost 300,000 miles on it. It's still running on the original clutch. I bought it new, and other than wearables (tires, oil, brakes, etc.), it has only cost me about $1200 total in repair costs in almost 15 years. Best cars ever made, when it comes to reliability.

@grndiesel 5 лет назад

One trick is to pop the hood before even starting the engine. Look to make sure everything is dead cold (pull the oil cap to make sure no vapor is present). If it's hot, chances are the owner got it going before you arrived, which could mean he's trying to hide hard start condition. Up north in colder climates, this is a trick that can save you some grief when dealing with older carby or diesel engines.

Luckily in Kentucky we don’t have to get emissions inspections and we only have to have one license plate. Never understood the whole two plate thing other than they can just charge you more money and it’s something else police can cite you for.

Brian Craig I like the truck. I had to buy a clothes dryer for my mom. I went to Lowe's and the machine fit nicely inside. I did not have to rent a truck or get charged for delivery. Also the Mazda Navajo, B-series truck, the Lincoln aviator and Mercury Mountaineer were built at that plant.

When you say suspension problem from tire wear can it also mean axle alignment?

@richardkey4289 5 лет назад

NewbArchitect he means any &/or all pivoting suspension and steering parts; any worn part can make the hubs & wheels sit at a wrong angle.also, if the vehicle hit a curb, or slid off the road or something, the frame itself could be tweaked out of square, resulting in 1 or more wheel not being pointed straight ahead.even a road pothole can whack something out of place, remember, all that weight is on 4 points touching the road; easy to have things stressed & go wonky.
