Thanks ! Very good information especially on used hybrids & EVs! Disagree with plug in anything unless you have a charger at home. Most apartments & condominiums do not have adequate facilities!

You don't worry about hybrid battery especially toyota hybrid technology they're very reliable toyota give 10 years or 240 000 kilometers warranty you can see most taxi drivers used toyota hybrid cars last over a million kilometers still original battery i already owned a 2022 venza hybrid i really love it excellent suv excellent on gas

With EV batteries costing more than the actual vehicle itself it doesn't really pay to buy an EV because once your warranty is gone and your battery goes you have no choice but to buy a new vehicle again.

The only car purchasing advice I mention to people around me is to buy a vehicle that is worth a very small fraction of their overall net worth. Like less than 5% is a good amount and always pay in full/cash. People will not advance financially if they have "forever" car payments. No mental gymnastics involved and depreciation will not be an issue because it won't be felt.
I know it sounds crazy but only very few people will understand this concept. At the end of the day, 99.9% of people do not care what car you drive.

Yesterday, I just finalized my purchase of a 2024 Tucson Hybrid Ultimate ... excellent vehicle. The dealer also tried to sell me the wheel locks (oh, they are already installed); I told them to remove the wheel locks. They also did a pitch on the rust protection (the oil protection requires drilling and will affect the warranty coverage); I told the Manager "no thanks." And, of course, the extended warranty; again, I'm OK with the manufacturer's warranty. Expect all of this crap and more when negotiating a price.
As for EVs, I've owned a 2020 Kona EV, a 2022 Ioniq 5 Ultimate and can literally say, the great charging speed of the Ioniq 5 doesn't matter if there aren't any 800V chargers along your route or they are down and out of service. Happened yesterday when I wanted to charge but the 800V (350 KW) chargers were out of service or the cable couldn't reach. Wait at least 5 years unless you want to be treated like a 2nd class citizen at a charging station (no weather protection, no windshield cleaners, no garbage cans, no washroom close nu and no convenience stores close. Why sacrifice because you own an EV? Hybrids are far better choices .... if you can get one.

Excellent advice. On your leasing vs purchase with a loan, l simply tell customers that leasing is uniquely special for business write-offs, or if you're looking at a vehicle that has questionable reliability, or notorious for pricey repairs like: Audi, BMW, Land Rover, M-B, Jaguar, anything Italian, or Stellantis, Volvo...
You've done eally good work here and this is an excellent service to your followers.đ

Wait till the 'whole lot' craps out at the same time!
Who is even going to be changing them? Where are they going to get millions of 'different' battery packs at the same time?
Just crazy. I will never buy one.

Thank you so much for your advice. I watch all of your videos. You gave me some good advice. Iâm not in a position to or need to purchase a vehicle at this time. When that time comes I will contact you for personal advice on my next purchase. Keep the videos coming!

for the battery on Toyota hybrid. all you need is just service the Vehicle and for the battery is the air filter that cool the battery make sure this filter is clean. that will help the batterie to be cool at all time and that improve the life of the battery a lot.

Great video!

Your videos are so valuable! I always learn something new and appreciate how knowledgeable you are. I do have a question: having driven as many cars as you have, could you break down in size or price categories your take on the best lane-centering, the best adaptive cruise control, and the best stop and go control? (And any other similar systems) Thank you!

You may have answered this in a previous video so feel free to just post the link. What auto SUV manufacturers would you say are reliable in the 5-7 year range? Almost all manufacturers can get their vehicles to 3 years but then on some of them, major trouble pops later. We currently have a 2011 Toyota Venza AWD V6 that we will trade. We do like CPO vehicles.
Great content by the way. I appreciate your sane analysis without the sensational clickbait.

Hi Shari!!! Great video â¤
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you had said especially the rustproofing optionsâŚKrown is the best or any other oil based options, definitely not the dealership corruption option.
One thing that I am having difficulty agreeing is when you had mentioned about rebuilding used battery packs for Hybrids. I donât agree with this option unless you are selling the vehicle but if you are planning to keep the vehicles replace the entire battery not just the dead cells. At times, the cells may work fine but then after few weeks/months they may die anyway just like the ones that was replaced previously.

I am honestly tired of my life taking place during the growing pains and not knowing what to back. Its been like this since I was a kid. You prepare for something and you're always 20 years behind.

In other countries rebuilded batteries are quite common. Mechanics work doesnât cost 150 per hour like in Canada so it financially makes sense

Why do some people accept the inevitable conclusion that we will all be mandated to drive EVs? We still do live in a democracy (sort of) and regimes change.

Great video.
Can you do a video on the cheapest insurance rates for various cars/suv luxury and non luxury. Thanks

Just a little help on wheel and tire coverage. I do not buy extended warranties but I did buy the Honda wheel and tire coverage for my 21 accord sport se. Only because of the 19â wheels ( which I will never buy again !!!). It was 1000 bucks for 5 years. It covers everything. My wife has hit all 4 wheelsâŚtwo times at 250 a wheelâŚ.do the math. I must say this was a wise investment. Without the low profile 19â I would not buy the warranty. Honda wheel and tire protection for 19â is a must! But once againâŚ..skip the 19â on the accord. Horrible, horrible ride quality !!

During the winter storms the people in the Midwest and North east realized Electric vehicles aren't worth it as the charging stations were busy or out of order. just saying.
