- Welcome to "What Car You Should Buy"

2
00:00:01.410 --> 00:00:05.730
where we give real people
real advice about buying cars.

3
00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:07.350
Ryan lives in the Texas panhandle

4
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:09.720
which is a place that's known
for quite a bit of flooding.

5
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.550
He wants something that has
a little bit of a lift on it,

6
00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:13.890
but can also haul his project car parts.

7
00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:15.270
He doesn't want a domestic car

8
00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:18.000
and he wants something that's
gonna be easy to modify.

9
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.100
Ryan's got a $60,000 budget.

10
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.960
What car should he buy?

11
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.430
Ryan, my friend, you need
is a Land Rover Defender 90.

12
00:00:26.430 --> 00:00:28.590
And for your budget you can
get one that's relatively

13
00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:29.880
low mileage.

14
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:31.020
If you play your cards right

15
00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:32.760
you can even get a brand new one.

16
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:34.800
It's gonna be tough to
pull off, but my friend

17
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.120
it is possible.

18
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:38.010
I've done hundreds of miles in Defenders

19
00:00:38.010 --> 00:00:40.230
and they are a joy to
drive on the highway.

20
00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:44.010
It's far quieter and smoother
than other cars in its class.

21
00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.960
Plus they're gonna hold
their value so well

22
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.240
you're not gonna lose your shirt when

23
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.449
or if you go to sell it.

24
00:00:50.449 --> 00:00:52.800
There's also a huge catalog of accessories

25
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.260
and customizations that
can be done to make the car

26
00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:57.480
exactly what you want it to be.

27
00:00:57.480 --> 00:00:59.670
So, like I said, while
you can find a new one

28
00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:01.050
for your price, it's gonna be tough.

29
00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:04.200
So I suggest maybe going
to the light aftermarket.

30
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.660
You could probably find one
from 2021 with less than

31
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:10.350
30,000 miles on it and it's
gonna cost you under 60 grand.

32
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:12.600
Ryan, you gotta do the right thing here.

33
00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:14.400
You gotta buy a Defender 90.

34
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.680
You said you don't want old Land Rovers,

35
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.210
so how about a new one?

36
00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:19.410
