| Answer to: Is a classic car a good first car? | 10Relevance | 6 years ago | Larry | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Truthfully I would advise against a classic for your first car. It's not only that you have absolutely no safety equipment.(Airbags, anti-lock brakes, and energy-absorbing zones) Well actually that's my biggest gripe. I m 58 and live in Fort Worth and just sold a really nice 85 Z 28 because it had no safety stuff. I bought a 99 Z 28 with 2.5 the horses, antilock brakes, and airbags. I drove it 16 months and realized I was fighting hitting the gas everytime I sat in it. The older cars are easier to fix and thats a fact. My advice is from a person who wants t ... | |||||

Depending on the car parts can be interesting to find and the lower miles you put on it the better. (There are many cars that appreciate in the classic market). So wait join the local car club of the one you are interested, find the BB for the cars you are interested. Talk to people on the board and find something you really love. Another big advantage is with a classic car many states you can get collec ... | |||||

| 2008 Honda Civic EX, 144k, Automatic. Turning key intermittently fails to start engine on first try. What could be causing this? Hi Scotty, I've been devouring your videos lately and am grateful someone like you is sharing their wealth of knowledge with the world.

| First Oil Change on new car? | 8Relevance | 4 years ago | CanadianMoose | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey scotty, love your videos! I ordered a new Elantra and I was wondering when to do my first oil change? I am thinking maybe after the first 1000 km (break-in period for Hyundai) just to get any metal particles out of the engine that may shred off during the break-in process or any dust left from manufacturing. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks! Much love from Alberta, or Texas of Canada as I call 😉 | |||||

| ... wrong with the car and it will help to engaged the emergency break when I parked and put it in first gear(that helps and it doesn't get stuck). the funny thing is that this didn't happen before ileft the car parked on first and it didn't give no issues to disengage to neutral when turn on the car.

| Answer to: Subaru BRZ in a six speed auto as first car? | 10Relevance | 1 year ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Sports cars and drivers just starting out don't mix very well. Your or your parents' car insurance will skyrocket if you buy that car. Throw in that the car would be brand-new, your insurance will enjoy your monthly payment, you or your parents, not so much. Personally, I'd skip buying sports cars until you're 25 or so. Your premiums will decrease significantly, and you'll have a few years worth of driving experience before you go whole hog on buying one. I got my 2017 Mustang when it was brand new in 2018, I was 27 at that time. I still have it. I have full coverage on both my truck and Mustang and it only costs me $150 a month. I've never been in an accident, and I've never gotten a ticket in the 12 years I've driven. My wife's insurance on her 2017 EcoBoost Mustang alone costs her $150 a month because she's gotten tickets. | |||||

| Now when I finance a car, should I get financing through a dealership or should I get the loan directly from my bank before hand an buy the car outright from the dealership with the loaned money. I heard somewhere that getting a loan through the bank first is the smarter financial decision. Definitely go through your bank ahead of time. I actually am in the market as well and first time buying a brand new car from a dealer. I asked similar questions and got excellent feedback from our community: | |||||
| Answer to: Which should i get for a first car? | 10Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Out of those two, the Subaru Impreza would be the better choice. That however doesn't change the fact that the Impreza is overpriced. I would shoot for the $7000 range or less. View the Used car Buying Guide for more information on buying used cars. Also check out the first car topic tag to see what was said before. Forget about the Mercedes. The Impreza is a pretty good car but the common problems are with the CVT automatic and excessive oil consumption. Other good choices in your price range for a first car include the 2011-2016 Toyota Corolla, 2013 Hon ... | |||||

| Hi, my son saved up some money and is wanting to a 2015 Mazda 3 with 98,000 miles on it from a private individual. It is his first car. We went and looked at the car. Nice shape. Engine had no strange noises, struts seemed fine. Drove nicely. Automatic transmission shifted smooth. I don't own an OBD II scanner so wasn't able to scan the car.

| Question Summary: 2007 Lexus LS460, 122k miles. Should I do a first drain&fill of the (supposed) "lifetime transmission fluid"-- or just let it be? Being semi-retired, I hope to drive this vehicle for quite a while, until I drive it to the nursing home! So I would like to take good care of it with proper drain&fills -- if the risks of malfunction/failure from doing so are sufficiently low. All The Details: The LS460 (in the USA) is promoted as having the infamous "lifetime transmission fluid." However I discovered that, in every other country on Ear ... | |||||
