price?

4292.20 dollars

thank you, sir

your welcome, i'm only 15 though

haha still thank you very much for sharing wisely.

i'm also looking at a first car btw. I am looking at a 2011 rav4 v6

well don't know much about Toyota need to do some research, Scotty shared a video on youtube about a certain Rav4 engine type you should avoid kindly search the video

he said to avoid the 2007-2009 toyota 2.4l 4 cylinder engines because they were made in america and they burned oil, which is a very expensive fix. The 6 cylinders rav4 have a ton of power (270hp). They have almost double the power of the crv you are looking at and weight only a little more.

I would reccommend the 2005-2006 crv's becasue they are safer, have more power, and are bigger. But, if you choose the 2000 crv's, that is your decision to make. Good luck on your car buying purchase!

I have discovered the first car is the hardest thing to buy, need a lot of time, research, and sound decision

you need to look for at least a month for cars so you can see what the car you like is worth and you need to see how the deals compare to each other and the history report is very important as well in a used car. A car with 2 or less owners, no accidents, and great service history will serve you a great first car. I am about the same age as you and I still haven't found the perfect car to buy because everything I look at has problems of some sort.

You've picked up some good buying tips 😉

am really grateful these tips are wholesome

@kenlito. So, did you decide on getting the CR-V or are you going to leave it?

Nice endrit. I am only 14 though. I am helping my dad for this kind of stuff. I don't usually have any time for helping lol

Might as well join the squad as a teenager I like to research cars and stuff and Endrit likes to ask questions about Tacomas and Rav4s.

I thought for a sec there's not a lot of teenagers watching Scotty Kilmer videos lol.

@Kerem ; your a teenager?

Yeah you didn't know?

I'm kidding yes I am;)

@kerem ; are you getting a first car as well. Are you from San Diego; cause one of my friends moved there?

Actually, I still have a while until a can drive a car. Since I was a little kid I've been interested in cars. Since I haven't driven one yet, I don't talk that much about driving dynamics. My "expertee" is car reliability and the used car market to the fullest extent a teenager could know. For a first car (2 years later probably) thinking about 2014-2016 Toyota Corolla LE. I wish I could. The thing I want most in life right now is to drive a car. The cars I have (to some degree) "experience" with:
1994 Nissan Maxima
1997 Toyota Corolla
2009 Kia Sportage
2006 Toyota Rav4
2014 Honda Odyssey

Also your lucky to get a car at 15, here in California you need to be 15.5 to even get a permit.

Man, you had me damn confused thinking you were an adult. I have loved cars since I was a little kid too (like 4 years old). I have been driving for about 6 months already my dad's 2015 honda accord and can I tell you that thing is a boring car with the I4. That is why I want a v6 for my first car. Driving a car is not as fun as you may think. Unless you are driving a fast car. It is kind of boring actually, as I have wanted to drive so badly too. I have started driving in my local high school one day when I was 14 years old and my dad let me see what driving was like for the first time. It was a weird feeling and it took some getting used to before I actually started driving on the road. Turning was hard in the beginning and keeping my lane was hard too. Cool story. You had me fooled thinking you were grown up from the amount of info you knew. I didn't know I was the only teen on this site either.

Oh... There goes the Corolla {black}:crying:

Might as well look into a V6 Camry when time comes

But really, for a first car, shouldn't safety be a priority. Sure it may be faster but isn't driving enough of a hassle trying not to die. I watched reviews of the V6 by proffessional drivers in the Camry/RAV4 and they had to really hold the steering wheel tight. Remember they are FWD. Good luck up there I'm in California no rust no snow no rain nothing.

@kerem Every single kid in my rich school drives a 6 cylinder luxury car or convertible or sports car. The 4 cylinders make really loud noises in my dad's accord because it has to work so hard. Safety is a priority, but not putting on your seatbelt causes you a 50 percent increase in death of car accidents. Also don't drink and drive. There was a wrong way driver on the highway that killed a kid in my school, so safety can't always protect you in every situation. Also, 4 cylinders are great cars too, but aren't as smooth or powerful as 6's. Chances are that you won't get yourself in situations that require top notch safety as a teenager.

Hmm, V6 Camry it is then...
Have you considered the V6 Camry or are you going to fight for the American 4X4?

@kerem ; my town is so safe; it has like 5 cars on the road at a time. I'm bout to snooze, so i'll see you tommorow.

Ok, nice talk.

Nice, I live in California. I am excited to be 15 next month from yesterday. When I was 13, I used to be like endrit except I only know how to reverse and move forward when idle. I was scared and uncomfortable at first. Most parents I usually see at school drives Toyotas and Hondas. The cars I have been sitting was:
2004s Ford F-150
Mercedes C- Class
2007 Honda Odyssey
2012 Nissan Altima
2020 Toyota Rav4
2020 Chrysler Pacifica
2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
2012 Toyota Sienna
2016 Toyota Camry
2004 Toyota Sienna
2007 Kia Sedona
2004 Toyota Camry

Yeah I know the feel of sitting in a car and thinking how easy it is and then get very nervous. Hope I will enjoy driving I spend all my day on researching cars I've got nothing better to do. Northern California has horrible traffic and drivers use questionable road manners.

@kerem I turn 16 in july and hopefully I will get my permit by then. You have to be 16 to get a permit here in new york. I drive, anyways. haha.

I hope I can do the online driving tests when I am 15 in March. I want to do it early so I can get a driving permit when I am 16.

@lenendaryslayer
Aren't you in California? You can get your permit at 15 1/2

@Kerem Yes, I live in California.

endrit, what are you thinking for a first car, are you still looking for the V6 RAV4?

Yes, I am still looking at a v6 Rav4. It is the only exciting rav4 and also looks pretty trendy. I have wanted a v6 toyota rav4 for many years.

@endrit Nice choice. The V6 Toyota Rav4 is pretty much reliable. I kinda do wish there was a V6 CRV lol.

@kerem Do you want a v6 Rav4 as well? It is a great car.

I know you're not asking me. I like the Toyota Rav4 V6 but I'm moving towards the Honda Ridgeline more than v6 Toyotas lol.

Well I'm not sure I keep on changing my mind I use a different account to ask about cars on this forum about what to buy but thats a secret. I was thinking 2012-2016 Toyota Corolla but we'll see I'll have to test drive it when I start looking for a car. Some say it handles great and rides very nice and has decent power some say the steering is sloppy horrible driving experience and ancient powertrain.

Though truth be told I did look at the RAV4 my friend loves his family's 06 RAV4 4 cylinder and I did consider the V6 but here they are... lets say expensive.

@legendaryslayer ;I have honda's, but I don't like their plain jane interiors. They also are really sluggish in their 4cylinders. My mom has a 2019 crv 2.4l I4 and that thing is extremely slow and really loud. Honda's are still a great choice of car company anyway.

We have a 2014 Odyssey 3.5 V6 and that thing really goes and suprisingly "sporty" for a minivan.
For a first car, I'd only consider the honda fit or honda civic when it comes to Honda. They make better small cars than big ones.

yeah. Toyota knows about making large vehicles.

That is true @endrit and @Kerem.

I think you guys just earned the title for longest comment chain.

@mountainmanjoe ; does this mean Scotty is going to feature us on his channel? hahaha.

Probably lol.

Oh my 46 replies

This is probably the most viewed comment also.

Anyway nice to meet you @endrit15 and @Kerem

Same to you, good luck both of you in car buying, I'll be joining you guys a few years later...

@legendaryslayer @kerem ; yeah nice to meet you guys too

How did you guys get famed member and estimable member.

We just have to answer questions. I have been on this chat for almost 2 months and kerem has been here for 4 months.

Nice

Yeah I've got nothing to do really schoolwork watch youtube and scotty's forum is my faily schedule. I also have to apologize for my horrible grammer but I'm too tired.
I've spend a good while answering questions initially I was putting 100 posts a day but honestly the quality of those posts were very low I am very proud however of my Used Car Buying Guide entries.

yeah same

Me too. I barely read. I like doing this kind of stuff.

I get like A's and B's in school. But, it's covid and I have nothing to do. I do what I love most: look up cars.

Same

Have you guys tried lifting weights. I bodybuild and it is a great way to burn time and you also gain a lot of muscle and strength. I was an extremely skinny 6'4" guy and I started lifting weghts and have gained a ton of muscle in just a couple of months (no steroids!).

No, I haven't. I do certain exercises that does stretches and most of the time I do cardio. Dang you are very tall. One time I was a doing a pull up. My dad called a pussy like weak(didn't mean to use bad languauge) lol.

Dude, I weigh like 175 pouds and before I started lifting wights, I couldn't even do a pushup or a pullup. Now, I can do 7 pullups and 25 pushups in a row. I used to be the weakest kid ever. I can deadlift 280 pounds as of now. You usually gain muscle when you lift weights the first year you do it. A lot of my friends lift weights as well (ages 15-17). I started lifting when I was your age, too. I turn 16 i july, btw. Lifting weights has also given me a little more motivation than usual. Lol, the only thing I do is Bodybuilding and cars.

no I did not do it my daily excersize is riding an electric scooter lol
also this is a car forum we don't want Joe getting made at us

Bruh I weigh like 100 pounds in my age. That considers me skinny lol.

We should probably talk somewhere else lol.

As long as its first car buying related we should be fine but idk where the lifting weights came from endrit is in desperate need for conversation lol

Okay we should stop the comments now as they've already reached 70.

thank you sir for that info

Your welcome! Hope your first car is a good one!

looking to get a good first car without issue though its old, thanks

thank appreciate
