Scotty, you just made me laugh out loud. I'm in Dallas, the home of the snobby luxury car dealer. Amazingly, I found a used Lexus IS250 trade in at an Audi dealer in great shape at a really great price. Had my independent mechanic check it out, and he gave two thumbs up so I bought the thing for my college son (he said I stole the thing for the price/condition/mileage). During the process of buying it, not a SINGLE person I talked to at the dealership - INCLUDING the sales manager, owns an Audi. The sales people all owned Lexus ES250s, and the manager owned an older Toyota pickup. By the time I was done, they were all yukking it up about how unreliable and expensive the Audis are. LOL

The ONLY reason I would buy a wrecked car is for spare parts for a car I already own. Also I normally wouldn't pay more than scrap price for it. I'm only interested in mechanical parts. Body damage is meaningless. i. e. years ago I had a front wheel drive Toyota Tercel Wagon. I got a 4 wheel drive SR-5 one with a chewed up transmission for NOTHING. I not only upgraded mine but it kept me in spare parts for 5 years at ZERO cost before mine finally went. It was basically a driveway parts store. During WW2 they would cannibalize wrecked planes to repair damaged but repairable planes. Saved me a ton of money.

Scotty, Im a new driver and am looking to buy my first car. I want a 4WD SUV that I can take anywhere, and Ive been looking at both the 3rd gen Toyota 4Runners (96-02) and the 2nd gen Nissan Pathfinder/Infiniti QX4 (96-04. The 4Runner is more reliable, but they are much more expensive and much harder to find with lower miles, since people hold on to them for so long. The Nissan Pathfinder/Infiniti QX4 is way cheaper, comes with more features, puts out more power/torque, and are much easier to find with lower miles. but are less reliable. Help? I love both, I just want to make sure I get the right one.

Can't understand why people want to buy cars from early 90s. You can buy a 10 year old car (2009) for 2000 or less. Name brand or not blahblah, but if you buy a 2000 car and its 10 year old or younger, at least the plastic parts aren't brittle and cracking and the vacuum hoses made of rubber aren't dried out. Your oil seal rings are still intact so no oil dripping and the interior isn't falling apart. Common sense guys You're only spending 2000, you get your money back if it makes it for 1 year, because car leasers and loaners pay a heck of a lot more for their new cars in payments

Back in the early 1970s, after the 1973 OPEC embargo oil crisis, panels of energy experts made recommendations for how to make the USA energy independent (or at least not have to import foreign petroleum. They recommended increasingly higher fuel efficiencies for vehicles, investments in alternative renewable energy production, and having municipal vehicles (school buses, cops cars, fire trucks, etc) converted to natural gas or electrical power. Plus, not funding the volatile oil-producing hellhole countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia & Argentina would be terrific.

I have done several reconstructedtitles and it could be something as simple as the insurance company totalled that because of a fender or because of XYZ and it has to go through a very rigorous inspection process before they will recertified to go back on the road. now you are right it doesn't necessarily mean that somebody did it right and they didn't have a friend at the DMV that helped them get it through but it's not as easy to not do it right as you think.

I will say this if what you are looking for is something to tear down and build up completely for a toy, maybe a racecar or hotrod, or off-road vehicle and you know why it was salvaged and you or the person whos going to build it knows what theybare doing and you don't care about resale value then why not. If your just going to build a mudder who cares if its been in a flood your probably going to put a snorkel on it and submerge it again on purpose

I have a friend who bought a newBuick a few years ago. It was plagued with electrical problems, and was in and out of the shop a half dozen times, and finally had a complete wiring harness replacement. It took about two weeks, but he was patient, as they were giving him a free rental car. THREE DAYS after he got his car back, the headlights went out as he was driving at night on I-40. He got it fixed again and traded it in on a Chevy van.

Sir Scotty I purchased a 2013 f-150 5. 0 fx4 w/75, 000 miles 2 months ago. I didn't notice it right away but in the cold, at first, it shifts slow, and hard out of 1st, then usually smooth. Also seems to go hard into 6th when I've kicked in passing gear sometimes. I purchased an sct bdx tuner and checked. No codes, but I am just scared my new beauty has a failing tranny. Should I be proactive?
