  1. That guy in the video screen at 0:12 looks like the joker killer from the Dark Knight Rises massacre.

  2. Here’s the deal: I’m 17 and I’m looking forward to buy a used car. So I googled a bit and came up with the BMW 328 1994-1998. Price is around 4500$. I dont want to buy the car and have a big load of repairs to pay since BMW parts and maintenance are expensive. What is your advice?

  3. yea i dont really wanna get anything with 50,000+ miles on it but i guess like 75,000 would be a good number to be below of….i’ve just always loved the sound and the power of a diesel so i want one real bad without buying a new one for $35,000+ ….

    i want to put like 8″ stacks on it…but as for towing all i’d really be towing would be a jet ski or a boat once in a while

  4. yes, probably nothing over 70,000 80,000 miles on it, hmm what to you plain on doin with the truck?

    if you got any more ?’s about trucks just ask me

  5. 1993-95 Toyota Corolla. Under $1,500 and they just keep on going as long as you check the oil level every two weeks. I win.

  6. i sold those cars to people i know and they still driving the car till this day

  7. i dont know people just say honda and toyota ive owned all those plus nissans also and they all have gone 250k plus with minimal maintenance 2 were maxima and a sentra. shit i didnt even have to change the timing chain on my maximas all stock motor with just accesories changed best car i ever owned and all had security systems stock.

  8. I got a 1994 Toyota Camry with 315K miles on it (that I bought in 2001 used with 94K miles) with original engine, original transmission, original suspension, original alternator and I never had a major problem out of it. The main thing is that throughout my car’s life I didn’t take care of it like I should have and still it drives great(with engine check light on for 9 years, leaking exhaust manifold etc) and it can go another 100K miles easily, but I should take care of it better

  9. The crown Vic was good, full size gm’s in the 90′s were good too. Also consider a jeep cherokee (xj) or even a late 90′s Toyota Tacoma, can’t kill either one

  10. get a used crown vic
    if too much gas?
    civic or corolla,altima,camry manual

  11. just a question to anyone: would anyone suggest the purchase of a used diesel pickup (2006 or newer dodge 2500 w/ a 5.9 or 6.7 L cummins) …. and whats the most amount of miles you’d take….i’m looking to spend between $35,000-$30,000

  12. “”you’d have no problem, with pritty much any car built in the last 10 years over 100,000 miles”" … thats a bunch of crock, go ask any auto shop or car guy if they agree with that and they would say NO!!!!!!!!

  13. you cant go wrong with a toyota!!!!! …
    It is so hard to find a good car even at $1,000, because the used car prices have gone up because of the STUPID “Cash For Clunkers” program …

  14. I don’t see why replacement parts for foreign makes are so expensive; that’s why I never look at foreign makes.

  15. A couple comments say buy a Toyota or Honda, (because of reliability) and there’s definitely truth to that. I would add Nissan to that short list, they regularly go well over 200k and even 300k+ miles.

  16. I purchased my 1995 Toyota Previa about 18 months ago for $1800 with 170k miles on it and I’ve been driving it daily with no problems! Everything works too! Honda and Toyota all the way baby!

  17. The Father of this child must have been watching too many pornos. He is talking like a porno dub.

  18. I got a remote control one for my 4 year old this Christmas; he LOVEEES it! :)
