What if the vehicles you see as relics are actually the backbone of a thriving automotive industry? Discover how the enduring legacy of older vehicles and how they shape the intricacies and evolution of the automotive industry. Navigating the future of the old car industry brings its own set of challenges, especially with the rise of electric vehicles and the changing tides brought on by the pandemic. Uncover how these shifts impact the availability of affordable vehicles and the habits of consumers, who now lean more towards public transit and ridesharing. Despite these shifts, the need to maintain the old car market remains vital for those relying on affordable vehicles and the small repair shops and manufacturers that support them.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we've all had one in our life, unless
we're one of those lucky people that get
brand new stuff just handed to us all the
time.
We've all experienced this, at least in our
younger years.
The old cars yeah, we've all seen them and
we've all experienced them.
We've driven around in these bland, boring
old school cars, something that could be,
you know, two or three years old, something
(00:21):
that's handed down from family members,
kind of rusty, kind of beat up and kind of
needs a lot of TLC.
The old cars on the road.
But you have to remember, not all of us are
fortunate enough to move up from that
original old car and at the keep with these
old, derelict vehicles.
But why are they still here and what type
of market do they actually hold together in
(00:42):
the world?
They play a vital role in the automobile
industry.
Even if the major automotive companies
aren't making money directly off of them,
they're still keeping their name out there
and showcasing to people that these
products are worth it when you buy them
brand new.
Old cars on the road Really, why, after 10
years, do we need to keep them around?
There is a reason for it and AutoLooks is
(01:02):
going to take a look at that today on this
podcast.
Welcome back to the AutoLooks Podcast.
I'm your host, as always, and the doctor to
the automotive industry, Mr. Everett Jay,
coming to you from our host website at
AutoLooks.net.
If you haven't been there, stop by, check
it out.
Read some of the reviews, check out some of
(01:23):
the ratings.
Go to the Corporate Links website page.
Big or small, we have them all car
companies from around the globe all
available on one centralized location, the
AutoLooks.net website.
Go to the Corporate Links website page.
Like I said, that's where you'll find all
the major automobile companies from around
the globe, right there, AutoLooks.net.
(01:50):
So, like you said in the beginning, old
cars on the road.
They play a vital role in the entire glue
that holds the automobile industry together.
One of the biggest parts that holds
together is, in fact, just what we talked
about Parts.
Automobile manufacturers today don't build
a lot of their own select parts in-house.
Most of them are subcontracted out to parts
(02:11):
manufacturers Companies like Magna
International, Linamar and Dana Some of the
biggest names you can ever hear out there.
You may hear stuff in the aftermarket
industry like Edelbrock as well.
All these companies exist to service
vehicles that are either in production or
vehicles after production.
Now, a company like Magna goes after all
brand new vehicles, but they build the
(02:32):
original parts for them.
Now, when a vehicle goes out of production,
manufacturers have to build at least a
five-year supply of parts, unless the
company really goes bankrupt and nobody's
paying them.
You know, like buying a Fisker right now,
one of those Fisker Oceans yeah, those
might be a little bit hard to come by for
parts.
Those manufacturers did build a lot of
access parts, but not to the same scale as
(02:53):
some other vehicles, like my Tacoma sitting
out in the driveway.
The new generation is out right now, but my
vehicle that went out of production less
than two years ago.
There are still manufacturers building
brand new parts for that truck knowing the
amount of them on the road still and they
have to be serviced.
That's why if you buy a vehicle from a car
company that went extinct like buying a
(03:13):
Saab it'd be very hard to come by some of
the vehicles.
Hell, even my Suzuki out in the garage, my
SX4.
Things are 2008.
I get it, you know it's well over a decade
old, but Suzuki is a big global car company
that still exists today.
It's hard to come by parts in North America,
but that old vehicle is still kicking
around.
Trust me, if Suzuki came back to North
America, I would definitely buy one as my
(03:35):
work vehicle Going back and forth to work.
Small, reliable and very dependable
vehicles Don't get me started on like
Korean products, that's a different story.
But that little Suzuki is still holding on.
I can still buy parts online, have them
shipped to myself in only a few days.
My mechanic can fix a lot of the parts on
that car.
That car almost 20 years old and I can
(03:57):
still get parts for it.
I can keep it on the road.
With over 200,000 kilometers on it, it's
still going.
You've probably heard about all these
people that buy vehicles.
You know the Tacoma that did a million
miles and the person that put over half a
million miles on their Hyundai Elantra.
These people put tons and tons of stuff
into their vehicles.
Without a ton of these vehicles still
(04:19):
kicking around on the road and tons of
parts being out there, we can't keep them
around.
All these little shops like the shop that I
bring my vehicles to my old Suzuki, my old
Borrego, my crappy little Rio.
Now my new vehicles are under warranty.
I have to bring them the dealer and get
their parts fixed and ensure that
everything's all right.
I don't void my warranty blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
You know that crap.
But my other vehicles don't have the
(04:39):
warranty and I bought them used.
I bring them to get fixed at a mechanic I
trust and know.
And that's the thing.
Mechanics like that.
The vehicle went to only new vehicles.
People are only allowed to purchase
vehicles from dealers and get them serviced
at dealers.
All these little shops would be out of
business.
If you're only allowed to keep vehicles for
so long, you would kill your parts industry.
You can keep the aftermarket industry going
(05:01):
with people developing parts for the
aftermarket industry, but brand new part
manufacturers companies like Magna wouldn't
be making as much money off of your
pre-existing vehicle the parts for these
classic and older vehicles if there were
tons of them out there.
Like, let's go back to my college days,
early 2000s okay, yeah, I'm dating myself
here the Pontiac Sunfire and Chevrolet
(05:21):
Cavalier.
By the time I went to college, the Cavalier
or the Sunfire was slowly being pushed out
and the Cobalt for Chevrolet was coming in.
Pontiac had their G5, because they were
going to the G names G5, G6, G8, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
But finding parts for those Cavaliers was
super freaking easy when I bought my crappy
little Re as my first vehicle.
(05:42):
I had a chance between that and a Z24
Cavalier.
Now everybody customizes Cavaliers, it's
all been done before.
But I also knew that parts were super easy
to come by.
Well, that could have saved me a lot of
money and a lot of headaches way back then.
Because, trust me, replace the motor in
that thing, I, replace the starter in that
thing, replace the front band in that thing
all within the first year of ownership.
(06:03):
So yeah, whereas the Cavalier even if I had
to do that, the price wouldn't have been as
much as my Rios held the starter, to buy it
and replace it was like 600 bucks in an
economy car that costs less than eight
thousand dollars.
Brand new now, tiny little economy cars
like that, when they make it into the
aftermarket industry, the old car used car
(06:24):
dealerships sell for pennies on the dollar.
When you really think about them, they
don't hold their value very well because
when the warranty runs up, those dealers
know that those vehicles aren't going to
last forever, something like my truck being
two years old.
Even when I bought it the price was still
high.
One, it's a truck and two, it's a desirable
truck.
So they know keeping that truck on the road
can make them money for more than just one
(06:46):
reason.
I bought it from a dealer, but not a dealer
for a Toyota, it's actually from a dealer
that's a Toyota counterpart, Subaru of all
things.
When I talked to them about that, they seem
to think I have like a third head growing
or something, because they're all like uh,
what do you mean?
I'm like a lot of your parts are
interchangeable.
I get it.
The Tacoma's completely different than
anything else that Subaru makes.
But the 6s If you go with the standard
(07:06):
straight 6 in a Subaru, no-transcript Boxer
engines completely different story.
There are some interchangeable parts, but
not a lot, because theirs is more of a
collaboration, less of a marriage.
But these older cars some of them, you know
a lot of people always like to say, oh,
they don't last like they used to do.
I don't know about you, but if you actually
(07:28):
go back and check throughout time, people
weren't buying vehicles in the 1950s and
still driving them by the late 70s.
A lot of the 1950s vehicles were off the
roads.
By the late 70s People had upgraded and
gotten new ones.
Vehicles back then you could say there was
a used car market for it.
But the used car market and the purchase
after the fact.
You were lucky if you got 15 years of the
damn things.
(07:48):
These days you got vehicles like my Suzuki
still kicking around for close to 20 years
on the road.
Parts are made a little bit more different.
There's a lot of people who could fix them,
a lot of people can get these parts and a
lot of people can keep these vehicles on
the road and with the blowout, thanks to
Fast and Furious and North America
Marketplace and some other places, the
aftermarket industry has made it more
available for some of these vehicles to get
(08:09):
parts Like.
Sometimes, when you're looking for parts
for your vehicle, it's actually better to
look for aftermarket parts.
I actually worked for a company once.
They had a GMC Sierra and they needed to
change the exhaust on it.
The dealer told them how much and their
mechanic told them how much you know for
straight full replacement of the exhaust.
They actually went to an aftermarket
exhaust so one of those big burly you know,
(08:30):
almost like a Borla, because it was cheaper
than buying the actual product to keep this
truck on the road.
Now you're thinking this is a company, why
don't they just scrap it and get a new one?
Well, they didn't like to do that because
they knew these trucks had tons of life
left in them.
What I learned when I went to school
because you know I went to school, Georgian
College, automotive Product Design I
learned a lot while I was there and one of
my amazing professors taught me one thing
(08:52):
about the automobile industry because he
himself had worked for the parts industry.
He's the one that basically told me when a
vehicle goes out of production, there has
to be five years worth of parts for those
vehicles built up.
By that time the vehicle goes out of
production.
Like I said, even take a look at DeLorean.
When they shut down the plant they had
enough vehicles to build another 1,800 cars.
They built that much up by the time the
(09:14):
company, when he even went bankrupt, they
sold tons and tons of parts left hell.
In my hometown there's a parts company not
been bought out by a company from Quebec
because the guy who created his daughter
was a sellout not getting into that story.
But my dad went there in the late 90s to go
find parts for his mustang.
70 mustang like this thing is by this time
is over 25 years old and he was still able
(09:34):
to purchase brand new parts for a car from
1970 off the shelf from an aftermarket part
dealer.
Even to this day I could buy new parts for
my 70 mustang and this thing's getting
close to 50 years old and I could still buy
new parts for it.
But thanks to these manufacturers and the
desirability of some of these vehicles,
(09:55):
parts are still existent.
Now it doesn't work in every single case.
Keeping a tucker on the road is a pain in
the ass because they only built 50 of them.
Only 47 of them are still in full existence
and unless you own about two or three of
them or know how to remanufacture parts,
something breaks.
You're screwed.
But now, thanks to 3d printers, you can
keep these old vehicles on the road even
(10:17):
longer.
I've been informed by a few of our quality
fans in the past.
If you go and check our help tab on the
AutoLooks.net website, you'll find some links
to 3D printing companies and these
companies will actually build parts for
your automobile.
So if you're having trouble finding these
parts somewhere, if you can get a schematic
of it from the original companies, or even
(10:37):
just find one online, a basic blueprint
that somebody be able to build a 3D model
off of, you could send it to these
companies that could build you a full
working 3D print metal.
Okay, you can actually build decent quality
parts to keep your old car on the road, and
(10:58):
with companies like that, they're keeping
the price lower and with the price low
people can keep these vehicles even longer.
So the greatest thing about keeping old
cars on the road is if they were built in
mass quantities, like we're talking.
You know keeping things.
We should blame the Cavalier.
In my early college days they built tons of
them.
(11:21):
Now they weren't the world's greatest car.
They didn't last forever, but because they
built such a mass quantity of them there's
so many out there and there had to be so
many parts built for those vehicles that
finding either quality brand new parts from
manufacturers or finding quality used parts
from even scrap yards or a company like
Kenny U-Pull, where you can pull your own
parts off of these scrap cars in the yard,
they're keeping these old cars alive.
My Suzuki a 2007 Suzuki SX4, is still
(11:43):
kicking around in my garage because of this
industry, and this industry employs tons of
people.
When I was in college back in the early
2000s, one out of every eight jobs in the
province of Ontario at that point in time,
over 11 million people.
One out of every eight jobs in the province
was tied to the automotive industry.
Whether it be manufacturing, part
(12:04):
manufacturing, designs, aftermarket
industry, decals, painting, upholstery, any
part of the automobile industry, there was
tons and tons of them around.
With that, we were able to keep our
vehicles on the road.
If you want to take a look at, you know,
keeping old cars on the road in a great
marketplace, Cuba.
Now I've been there three times in my life.
You know it's a one area twice and another
(12:27):
area once.
And a great thing is when they put the
embargo back in the 50s on Cuba, when
cashier took it over and basically kicked
the Americans out, said you know, we're not
your fun zone, get the fuck out of here.
Okay, this is our country.
You want to come here?
Fine, but we own this place, not you guys.
They put the trade embargo on them.
They weren't able to get vehicles and we
get it.
(12:47):
By the late 60s and into the 70s they
started making trade deals with Russia,
getting Ladas and that in.
Now they got deals with Korean and Japanese
manufacturers that ship vehicles in.
Okay, so when I go on vacation there, I
could drive a brand new Suzuki Jimny, but
you'll still see some of these older
vehicles on the road because back then it
was so much easier to fix vehicles than now
(13:07):
with a lot of these new computer-based
technologies and older vehicles can be held
on to even longer.
Their parts may not last as long as some of
the parts manufactured today, but with so
many of these vehicles around on the roads,
an economy that's not buying them and
destroying them, these vehicles can stay on
the road even longer.
Now, finding parts for it.
There's no major aftermarket industry.
(13:28):
So if you have one and it breaks down, you
got to fix it.
Find a way to fix it yourself, or you got
to find another one somewhere in the island.
Tear it apart and rebuild.
Keeps the vehicles going.
But they also live in a marketplace where
you don't have to really worry about rust,
unlike, you know, my home country.
Keeping parts in the marketplace is one way
to keep the older cars on the road, but
older cars also play a vital role in
(13:49):
getting new people into the automotive
market.
I get it.
There's a lot of places in the world you
don't want to get more and more people into
the marketplace.
You're listening to this episode from New
York City, Los Angeles, hell, even Mexico
City or Tokyo there's tons and tons of
people.
You don't want to add more and more and
more cars to that.
You want to get more people to take public
transportation and we're all for that.
(14:10):
But the used car industry also helped play
a vital role for people in my situation my
home city.
When I was growing up, unless I had a
license and drove anywhere, the bus was
horrible, or I even lived too far.
Where my kids are, where we live now, they
could take the bus into town, but there are
only select times it could take.
It takes forever to get into town.
(14:30):
For us it's more convenient to own vehicles
to drive in and around town.
To myself it's convenient.
My in-laws live in a big city.
They can walk to get groceries, they can
walk to go get stuff at the drugstore.
They can walk.
They can keep themselves active a lot more
than I can.
But I need these.
And when we first started out in our life
we had to purchase a lot of these older
vehicles.
I get it.
I bought my Rio it really wasn't old and
(15:00):
paid about five thousand dollars for it.
So we'll be paying it off over a year.
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay, but after that, when I wanted to park
this car and keep it.
I needed to get something else and I
couldn't afford anything else.
I couldn't make payments on a full brand
new vehicle.
Look back at it now.
I might have been able to do it, but the
point in time I didn't really think about
it.
So I started buying used vehicles, getting
them for cheaper, buying these, you know,
twelve hundred dollar cars, buying them,
doing some body work to it and keeping them
on the road.
Hell.
I watched my family do that.
My dad did that.
You know, most of my life.
He didn't get his first new vehicle of my
(15:21):
life, like he got one before I was born.
But his first brand new vehicle of my life
didn't come out until pretty much my son
was in the picture.
So a long time out he kept purchasing used
vehicles, bringing them to the shops.
So now he's keeping the shops employed,
keeping the part manufacturers employed.
His vehicle uses a little bit more gas
because it's older, so he's using a little
bit more gas, keeps the fuel stations going.
(15:42):
Then we have to put more fluids into it to
keep these systems running.
So all these aftermarket manufacturers like
how many times when you buy a brand new
vehicle have you ever been told oh, you
know you can go out and get a fuel additive
to keep your engine good and clean.
No, they'll just do it for you.
They don't tell you to go out and get that.
They have their own stuff in the back.
They top up the oil with their stuff from
the manufacturer, not the aftermarket
industry.
(16:03):
So old cars on the road really keep the
aftermarket industry open.
It's a steady repair cost and upkeep.
Yes, your repair costs and your upkeep are
a lot more than a brand new vehicle, but
your upfront cost is a lot less For some of
the vehicles I own.
We're going to go back and look at the
first vehicle I bought.
When I finally got my Rio Park, my wife and
I had a new vehicle, our Suzuki, when my
(16:23):
son was born and then I wanted to get my
Rio off the road.
I needed something, but we couldn't afford
a brand new vehicle.
Sure, the Suzuki was paid off, but we
didn't make tons of money.
We had a house to pay for, we had daycare.
I had to buy a beat up, old, crappy car.
So I paid $400 for this.
Ford Taurus Cost me another $600 to get it
on the road.
So here we are $1,000 in.
I screwed it up, tried to do a tune up on
(16:45):
it, cracked one of the freaking spark plugs,
had to get the headers fixed.
There's $1,200 gone.
I had the vehicle for three years Within
the three years of ownership due to repairs,
any upkeep and a little bit of extra gas,
because it cost a little bit more to
operate because of its V6 and its age.
Compared to my Suzuki it cost a bit more,
but over those three years the car really
(17:06):
only cost me about $5,000.
I have had other used vehicles.
I had a CX-9 that started getting into
electrical problems by the time.
I got rid of that vehicle after 30 years
because we got hit and I had to give it up.
I could have put half the money down for a
brand new one.
Now all those aftermarket part
manufacturers and all the repair shops made
good money off of me while I held on to
(17:28):
that old vehicle.
But I couldn't afford to spend $40,000 on a
vehicle at that point in time.
I was able to afford $6,000 to $8,000 on a
vehicle.
At that point in time I was able to afford
$6,000 to $8,000 on a vehicle and I could
afford to do maintenance on a vehicle
upwards of maybe $1,500 a year.
So those are the things you have to look at.
How much is it going to cost?
How much is it going to cost to upkeep?
But all that upkeep keeps this industry
(17:50):
alive.
The higher accessibility of aftermarket
parts, fluids all thanks to online ordering
Like companies like Rock Auto, really make
it easy for you to keep a lot of these
vehicles intact.
If I can do these things in my own garage,
which I'm mechanically inclined and do
quite a bit of work on that Suzuki to keep
it on the road, I can buy the parts online
(18:11):
and the parts are cheap.
I can buy the brand new.
I can buy them used.
I can go out to a wrecking yard and pull
them off myself.
I can keep these vehicles.
There's so many options.
A lot now.
Today, compared to back in the 90s, there's
actually a lot less used car dealers than
you used to find.
Used to find all those little shady guys
that would just paint over all the rest and
kind of top it up, just so you would take
(18:32):
it for a small test drive.
It feels okay, okay.
Second, you get it off the parking lot.
Two days down the road the engine blows up
on you, right, remember those old shady
guys, but those ones kept a lot of people
on the road.
Even though they caused so many problems,
they still kept people on the road and with
a problematic car, some people would buy
them.
They'd have to pay to fix them because they
spent so much money on them to keep them on
the road, which kept the shops and the part
(18:53):
manufacturers alive.
The other people that couldn't afford it
would scrap the thing.
Keeping the wrecking yards alive, keeping
the aftermarket parts industry alive Like
finding parts in my Suzuki, sometimes even
my Rio is getting harder and harder Finding
places like LPQ or even Universal Parts.
I can get parts from crash vehicles for my
vehicle.
I can keep them on the the road and as we
(19:15):
keep these industries alive, we can keep
our vehicles alive.
Now, our future really doesn't have a
bright ending to us right now because the
electric vehicle industry you have to
remember if the vehicle sits for so long,
you destroy the battery and if nobody's
building batteries or conversion kits for
it, essentially the car is scrap and we
have to start looking at that in the
industry.
The aftermarket industry really has to
(19:36):
start taking a look at batteries Because in
the future, to keep a Tesla Model S from
today alive 20 years down the road.
We're going to have to have a brand new
industry to keep these ones alive.
Wrecking yards are going to have new
environmental controls for batteries as
well.
Because batteries catch fire and it takes
forever to put them out.
You basically got to submerge them for
sometimes a week on end to put out the fire,
(19:58):
so that can become more of a hassle.
People don't want to deal with them, but
you can take them.
You could grind them down, turn them around
black mask, turn them back into brand new
batteries.
But what do you do with the car after you
rip the battery out my car?
I just go to, you know, Canadian Tire, buy
a new battery and get my car and back on
the road.
But the electric car industry could be a
problem and that's the issue.
We're now dealing with more autonomous
technology.
We're now dealing with more ride shares, so
(20:19):
that industry is slowly dying out.
If we start pulling more away from the
automobile industry, it starts jacking up
the price for everyone else.
COVID really showed this to us when the
industry got shut down only for a few weeks
and then maybe a month here and there.
All these little shutdowns, all these
little semiconductors not being made,
really screwed with the pricing of
(20:40):
automobiles.
It killed off all these little entry used
car dealerships, which mean all the entry
level vehicles under $5,000 vehicles have
disappeared from the marketplace today,
sure, you can buy a used vehicle, but
unless you're looking at close to $10,000,
you're not getting anything really good
anymore.
COVID helped destroy the used car market.
It still is easy to keep these old cars on
(21:00):
the road.
It's just harder to get them right off the
bat.
When I was a kid, I would go to a car
dealership, even a brand new car dealership
in town.
They would have cars ranging from $500 to
$50,000.
Today you're lucky to find a car on their
lot for $1,500, let alone $5,000.
But you'll find tons of them between the
$10,000 to $40,000 range.
(21:22):
Without these old cars sitting in these
lots and getting resold to people, we're
pulling an entire part of the marketplace
out.
And when these people don't get behind the
wheel of a vehicle at a young age, they're
not going to want to own one later on in
life, because they're going to learn about
public transit and become used to it.
They're going to learn about rideshare
programs.
They're going to learn about Uber and Lyft
(21:43):
using the trains, using the subways, all of
that.
What does that do?
That strains our public transit system,
because we've now developed a system for
automobiles and we never updated our public
transit.
So in the world today we still need to keep
these old cars on the road.
I have a couple friends that still need
these old cars to be able to get around.
They can't afford, you know, even over five
(22:03):
thousand dollars for a vehicle.
They're mechanically inclined so they can
keep them on the road and they know where
to get the parts cheap.
But they still need entry into this
marketplace.
The old car market's got to still kick
around.
We need this used car portion of the
marketplace.
No matter how much you want to get more and
more people off the highways and into
public transit, there are still people out
(22:25):
there who rely heavily on this marketplace
and thanks to companies like Rock Auto,
automotive, Canadian Tire, who does repairs
and even can get parts to your friendly
neighborhood mechanic down the road, they
all help keep these vehicles alive.
All we need to do is to keep the market
alive, because when that market starts
dying, some of these shops and some of
these part manufacturers start going with
(22:47):
it.
When that starts happening, then we're
going to start forcing a lot of people out
of the marketplace when Henry Ford brought
everyone into the automotive marketplace.
The revolution that is electric vehicles
and less parts and less aftermarket
serviceability and longevity of automobiles,
the revolution of higher price vehicles is
slowly coming in.
So, yes, we need these old cars.
(23:08):
Some of us just need them as an extra car
to get back and forth to work.
That Suzuki sits in my driveway in the
summertime.
I don't really use it much in the
summertime because it's my winter beater.
I prefer to use it in the winter.
Go back and forth to work.
That Suzuki sits in my driveway in the
summertime.
I don't really use it much in the
summertime because it's my winter beater.
I prefer to use it in the winter.
Go back and forth to work occasionally
every once in a while.
It it's so old and so paid off.
It's so easy to fix that.
Literally just keep it around to save on a
few extra expenses.
(23:29):
Without that industry, the car would be in
the trash right now.
I would have had to walk away from I almost
did once until I found the part at the
right price.
And when you find the part at the right
price, it gives life to these old cars.
So if you like this podcast.
Please like, share or comment about it on

That you found the Outlooks podcast on,
like us, share us, tell your friends, tell
(23:49):
your family, tell your co-workers, tell
your boss anyone else to like us to share
us that find the auto looks podcast to get
the word out.
But all these automotive industries
questions that you have and the answers
that you now have you need to tell people.
That guy that just started a job, if he
can't afford to get one of those
entry-level vehicles and public transit out
to your location sucks.
(24:10):
He might not be able to work there forever
unless he's willing to bike his ass into
work right.
So for that we need the old car industry,
we need to keep these vehicles alive and
for myself, being a love affair with the
automobile industry and classic vehicles,
we always need to make parts for the
classics, because if my mustang can't get
back on the road, that's a sad day for me.
If I have to scrap it, good day for the
(24:31):
metal guys, bad day for me.

So from myself, Everett Jay, the owner of
the AutoLooks.net website and the host of the
AutoLooks Podcast, PodBean.com for getting us
out into the world.
And Ecomm Entertainment Group, strap
yourself in for this one fun wild ride that
these old cars are going to take us on.
Thank you.
Well, we've all had one in our life, unless
we're one of those lucky people that get
brand new stuff just handed to us all the
time.
We've all experienced this, at least in our
younger years.
The old cars yeah, we've all seen them and
we've all experienced them.
We've driven around in these bland, boring
old school cars, something that could be,
you know, two or three years old, something
(00:21):
that's handed down from family members,
kind of rusty, kind of beat up and kind of
needs a lot of TLC.
The old cars on the road.
But you have to remember, not all of us are
fortunate enough to move up from that
original old car and at the keep with these
old, derelict vehicles.
But why are they still here and what type
of market do they actually hold together in
(00:42):
the world?
They play a vital role in the automobile
industry.
Even if the major automotive companies
aren't making money directly off of them,
they're still keeping their name out there
and showcasing to people that these
products are worth it when you buy them
brand new.
Old cars on the road Really, why, after 10
years, do we need to keep them around?
There is a reason for it and AutoLooks is
(01:02):
going to take a look at that today on this
podcast.
Welcome back to the AutoLooks Podcast.
I'm your host, as always, and the doctor to
the automotive industry, Mr. Everett Jay,
coming to you from our host website at
AutoLooks.net.
If you haven't been there, stop by, check
it out.
Read some of the reviews, check out some of
(01:23):
the ratings.
Go to the Corporate Links website page.
Big or small, we have them all car
companies from around the globe all
available on one centralized location, the
AutoLooks.net website.
Go to the Corporate Links website page.
Like I said, that's where you'll find all
the major automobile companies from around
the globe, right there, AutoLooks.net.
(01:50):
So, like you said in the beginning, old
cars on the road.
They play a vital role in the entire glue
that holds the automobile industry together.
One of the biggest parts that holds
together is, in fact, just what we talked
about Parts.
Automobile manufacturers today don't build
a lot of their own select parts in-house.
Most of them are subcontracted out to parts
(02:11):
manufacturers Companies like Magna
International, Linamar and Dana Some of the
biggest names you can ever hear out there.
You may hear stuff in the aftermarket
industry like Edelbrock as well.
All these companies exist to service
vehicles that are either in production or
vehicles after production.
Now, a company like Magna goes after all
brand new vehicles, but they build the
(02:32):
original parts for them.
Now, when a vehicle goes out of production,
manufacturers have to build at least a
five-year supply of parts, unless the
company really goes bankrupt and nobody's
paying them.
You know, like buying a Fisker right now,
one of those Fisker Oceans yeah, those
might be a little bit hard to come by for
parts.
Those manufacturers did build a lot of
access parts, but not to the same scale as
(02:53):
some other vehicles, like my Tacoma sitting
out in the driveway.
The new generation is out right now, but my
vehicle that went out of production less
than two years ago.
There are still manufacturers building
brand new parts for that truck knowing the
amount of them on the road still and they
have to be serviced.
That's why if you buy a vehicle from a car
company that went extinct like buying a
(03:13):
Saab it'd be very hard to come by some of
the vehicles.
Hell, even my Suzuki out in the garage, my
SX4.
Things are 2008.
I get it, you know it's well over a decade
old, but Suzuki is a big global car company
that still exists today.
It's hard to come by parts in North America,
but that old vehicle is still kicking
around.
Trust me, if Suzuki came back to North
America, I would definitely buy one as my
(03:35):
work vehicle Going back and forth to work.
Small, reliable and very dependable
vehicles Don't get me started on like
Korean products, that's a different story.
But that little Suzuki is still holding on.
I can still buy parts online, have them
shipped to myself in only a few days.
My mechanic can fix a lot of the parts on
that car.
That car almost 20 years old and I can
(03:57):
still get parts for it.
I can keep it on the road.
With over 200,000 kilometers on it, it's
still going.
You've probably heard about all these
people that buy vehicles.
You know the Tacoma that did a million
miles and the person that put over half a
million miles on their Hyundai Elantra.
These people put tons and tons of stuff
into their vehicles.
Without a ton of these vehicles still
(04:19):
kicking around on the road and tons of
parts being out there, we can't keep them
around.
All these little shops like the shop that I
bring my vehicles to my old Suzuki, my old
Borrego, my crappy little Rio.
Now my new vehicles are under warranty.
I have to bring them the dealer and get
their parts fixed and ensure that
everything's all right.
I don't void my warranty blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
You know that crap.
But my other vehicles don't have the
(04:39):
warranty and I bought them used.
I bring them to get fixed at a mechanic I
trust and know.
And that's the thing.
Mechanics like that.
The vehicle went to only new vehicles.
People are only allowed to purchase
vehicles from dealers and get them serviced
at dealers.
All these little shops would be out of
business.
If you're only allowed to keep vehicles for
so long, you would kill your parts industry.
You can keep the aftermarket industry going
(05:01):
with people developing parts for the
aftermarket industry, but brand new part
manufacturers companies like Magna wouldn't
be making as much money off of your
pre-existing vehicle the parts for these
classic and older vehicles if there were
tons of them out there.
Like, let's go back to my college days,
early 2000s okay, yeah, I'm dating myself
here the Pontiac Sunfire and Chevrolet
(05:21):
Cavalier.
By the time I went to college, the Cavalier
or the Sunfire was slowly being pushed out
and the Cobalt for Chevrolet was coming in.
Pontiac had their G5, because they were
going to the G names G5, G6, G8, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
But finding parts for those Cavaliers was
super freaking easy when I bought my crappy
little Re as my first vehicle.
(05:42):
I had a chance between that and a Z24
Cavalier.
Now everybody customizes Cavaliers, it's
all been done before.
But I also knew that parts were super easy
to come by.
Well, that could have saved me a lot of
money and a lot of headaches way back then.
Because, trust me, replace the motor in
that thing, I, replace the starter in that
thing, replace the front band in that thing
all within the first year of ownership.
(06:03):
So yeah, whereas the Cavalier even if I had
to do that, the price wouldn't have been as
much as my Rios held the starter, to buy it
and replace it was like 600 bucks in an
economy car that costs less than eight
thousand dollars.
Brand new now, tiny little economy cars
like that, when they make it into the
aftermarket industry, the old car used car
(06:24):
dealerships sell for pennies on the dollar.
When you really think about them, they
don't hold their value very well because
when the warranty runs up, those dealers
know that those vehicles aren't going to
last forever, something like my truck being
two years old.
Even when I bought it the price was still
high.
One, it's a truck and two, it's a desirable
truck.
So they know keeping that truck on the road
can make them money for more than just one
(06:46):
reason.
I bought it from a dealer, but not a dealer
for a Toyota, it's actually from a dealer
that's a Toyota counterpart, Subaru of all
things.
When I talked to them about that, they seem
to think I have like a third head growing
or something, because they're all like uh,
what do you mean?
I'm like a lot of your parts are
interchangeable.
I get it.
The Tacoma's completely different than
anything else that Subaru makes.
But the 6s If you go with the standard
(07:06):
straight 6 in a Subaru, no-transcript Boxer
engines completely different story.
There are some interchangeable parts, but
not a lot, because theirs is more of a
collaboration, less of a marriage.
But these older cars some of them, you know
a lot of people always like to say, oh,
they don't last like they used to do.
I don't know about you, but if you actually
(07:28):
go back and check throughout time, people
weren't buying vehicles in the 1950s and
still driving them by the late 70s.
A lot of the 1950s vehicles were off the
roads.
By the late 70s People had upgraded and
gotten new ones.
Vehicles back then you could say there was
a used car market for it.
But the used car market and the purchase
after the fact.
You were lucky if you got 15 years of the
damn things.
(07:48):
These days you got vehicles like my Suzuki
still kicking around for close to 20 years
on the road.
Parts are made a little bit more different.
There's a lot of people who could fix them,
a lot of people can get these parts and a
lot of people can keep these vehicles on
the road and with the blowout, thanks to
Fast and Furious and North America
Marketplace and some other places, the
aftermarket industry has made it more
available for some of these vehicles to get
(08:09):
parts Like.
Sometimes, when you're looking for parts
for your vehicle, it's actually better to
look for aftermarket parts.
I actually worked for a company once.
They had a GMC Sierra and they needed to
change the exhaust on it.
The dealer told them how much and their
mechanic told them how much you know for
straight full replacement of the exhaust.
They actually went to an aftermarket
exhaust so one of those big burly you know,
(08:30):
almost like a Borla, because it was cheaper
than buying the actual product to keep this
truck on the road.
Now you're thinking this is a company, why
don't they just scrap it and get a new one?
Well, they didn't like to do that because
they knew these trucks had tons of life
left in them.
What I learned when I went to school
because you know I went to school, Georgian
College, automotive Product Design I
learned a lot while I was there and one of
my amazing professors taught me one thing
(08:52):
about the automobile industry because he
himself had worked for the parts industry.
He's the one that basically told me when a
vehicle goes out of production, there has
to be five years worth of parts for those
vehicles built up.
By that time the vehicle goes out of
production.
Like I said, even take a look at DeLorean.
When they shut down the plant they had
enough vehicles to build another 1,800 cars.
They built that much up by the time the
(09:14):
company, when he even went bankrupt, they
sold tons and tons of parts left hell.
In my hometown there's a parts company not
been bought out by a company from Quebec
because the guy who created his daughter
was a sellout not getting into that story.
But my dad went there in the late 90s to go
find parts for his mustang.
70 mustang like this thing is by this time
is over 25 years old and he was still able
(09:34):
to purchase brand new parts for a car from
1970 off the shelf from an aftermarket part
dealer.
Even to this day I could buy new parts for
my 70 mustang and this thing's getting
close to 50 years old and I could still buy
new parts for it.
But thanks to these manufacturers and the
desirability of some of these vehicles,
(09:55):
parts are still existent.
Now it doesn't work in every single case.
Keeping a tucker on the road is a pain in
the ass because they only built 50 of them.
Only 47 of them are still in full existence
and unless you own about two or three of
them or know how to remanufacture parts,
something breaks.
You're screwed.
But now, thanks to 3d printers, you can
keep these old vehicles on the road even
(10:17):
longer.
I've been informed by a few of our quality
fans in the past.
If you go and check our help tab on the
AutoLooks.net website, you'll find some links
to 3D printing companies and these
companies will actually build parts for
your automobile.
So if you're having trouble finding these
parts somewhere, if you can get a schematic
of it from the original companies, or even
(10:37):
just find one online, a basic blueprint
that somebody be able to build a 3D model
off of, you could send it to these
companies that could build you a full
working 3D print metal.
Okay, you can actually build decent quality
parts to keep your old car on the road, and
(10:58):
with companies like that, they're keeping
the price lower and with the price low
people can keep these vehicles even longer.
So the greatest thing about keeping old
cars on the road is if they were built in
mass quantities, like we're talking.
You know keeping things.
We should blame the Cavalier.
In my early college days they built tons of
them.
(11:21):
Now they weren't the world's greatest car.
They didn't last forever, but because they
built such a mass quantity of them there's
so many out there and there had to be so
many parts built for those vehicles that
finding either quality brand new parts from
manufacturers or finding quality used parts
from even scrap yards or a company like
Kenny U-Pull, where you can pull your own
parts off of these scrap cars in the yard,
they're keeping these old cars alive.
My Suzuki a 2007 Suzuki SX4, is still
(11:43):
kicking around in my garage because of this
industry, and this industry employs tons of
people.
When I was in college back in the early
2000s, one out of every eight jobs in the
province of Ontario at that point in time,
over 11 million people.
One out of every eight jobs in the province
was tied to the automotive industry.
Whether it be manufacturing, part
(12:04):
manufacturing, designs, aftermarket
industry, decals, painting, upholstery, any
part of the automobile industry, there was
tons and tons of them around.
With that, we were able to keep our
vehicles on the road.
If you want to take a look at, you know,
keeping old cars on the road in a great
marketplace, Cuba.
Now I've been there three times in my life.
You know it's a one area twice and another
(12:27):
area once.
And a great thing is when they put the
embargo back in the 50s on Cuba, when
cashier took it over and basically kicked
the Americans out, said you know, we're not
your fun zone, get the fuck out of here.
Okay, this is our country.
You want to come here?
Fine, but we own this place, not you guys.
They put the trade embargo on them.
They weren't able to get vehicles and we
get it.
(12:47):
By the late 60s and into the 70s they
started making trade deals with Russia,
getting Ladas and that in.
Now they got deals with Korean and Japanese
manufacturers that ship vehicles in.
Okay, so when I go on vacation there, I
could drive a brand new Suzuki Jimny, but
you'll still see some of these older
vehicles on the road because back then it
was so much easier to fix vehicles than now
(13:07):
with a lot of these new computer-based
technologies and older vehicles can be held
on to even longer.
Their parts may not last as long as some of
the parts manufactured today, but with so
many of these vehicles around on the roads,
an economy that's not buying them and
destroying them, these vehicles can stay on
the road even longer.
Now, finding parts for it.
There's no major aftermarket industry.
(13:28):
So if you have one and it breaks down, you
got to fix it.
Find a way to fix it yourself, or you got
to find another one somewhere in the island.
Tear it apart and rebuild.
Keeps the vehicles going.
But they also live in a marketplace where
you don't have to really worry about rust,
unlike, you know, my home country.
Keeping parts in the marketplace is one way
to keep the older cars on the road, but
older cars also play a vital role in
(13:49):
getting new people into the automotive
market.
I get it.
There's a lot of places in the world you
don't want to get more and more people into
the marketplace.
You're listening to this episode from New
York City, Los Angeles, hell, even Mexico
City or Tokyo there's tons and tons of
people.
You don't want to add more and more and
more cars to that.
You want to get more people to take public
transportation and we're all for that.
(14:10):
But the used car industry also helped play
a vital role for people in my situation my
home city.
When I was growing up, unless I had a
license and drove anywhere, the bus was
horrible, or I even lived too far.
Where my kids are, where we live now, they
could take the bus into town, but there are
only select times it could take.
It takes forever to get into town.
(14:30):
For us it's more convenient to own vehicles
to drive in and around town.
To myself it's convenient.
My in-laws live in a big city.
They can walk to get groceries, they can
walk to go get stuff at the drugstore.
They can walk.
They can keep themselves active a lot more
than I can.
But I need these.
And when we first started out in our life
we had to purchase a lot of these older
vehicles.
I get it.
I bought my Rio it really wasn't old and
(15:00):
paid about five thousand dollars for it.
So we'll be paying it off over a year.
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay, but after that, when I wanted to park
this car and keep it.
I needed to get something else and I
couldn't afford anything else.
I couldn't make payments on a full brand
new vehicle.
Look back at it now.
I might have been able to do it, but the
point in time I didn't really think about
it.
So I started buying used vehicles, getting
them for cheaper, buying these, you know,
twelve hundred dollar cars, buying them,
doing some body work to it and keeping them
on the road.
Hell.
I watched my family do that.
My dad did that.
You know, most of my life.
He didn't get his first new vehicle of my
(15:21):
life, like he got one before I was born.
But his first brand new vehicle of my life
didn't come out until pretty much my son
was in the picture.
So a long time out he kept purchasing used
vehicles, bringing them to the shops.
So now he's keeping the shops employed,
keeping the part manufacturers employed.
His vehicle uses a little bit more gas
because it's older, so he's using a little
bit more gas, keeps the fuel stations going.
(15:42):
Then we have to put more fluids into it to
keep these systems running.
So all these aftermarket manufacturers like
how many times when you buy a brand new
vehicle have you ever been told oh, you
know you can go out and get a fuel additive
to keep your engine good and clean.
No, they'll just do it for you.
They don't tell you to go out and get that.
They have their own stuff in the back.
They top up the oil with their stuff from
the manufacturer, not the aftermarket
industry.
(16:03):
So old cars on the road really keep the
aftermarket industry open.
It's a steady repair cost and upkeep.
Yes, your repair costs and your upkeep are
a lot more than a brand new vehicle, but
your upfront cost is a lot less For some of
the vehicles I own.
We're going to go back and look at the
first vehicle I bought.
When I finally got my Rio Park, my wife and
I had a new vehicle, our Suzuki, when my
(16:23):
son was born and then I wanted to get my
Rio off the road.
I needed something, but we couldn't afford
a brand new vehicle.
Sure, the Suzuki was paid off, but we
didn't make tons of money.
We had a house to pay for, we had daycare.
I had to buy a beat up, old, crappy car.
So I paid $400 for this.
Ford Taurus Cost me another $600 to get it
on the road.
So here we are $1,000 in.
I screwed it up, tried to do a tune up on
(16:45):
it, cracked one of the freaking spark plugs,
had to get the headers fixed.
There's $1,200 gone.
I had the vehicle for three years Within
the three years of ownership due to repairs,
any upkeep and a little bit of extra gas,
because it cost a little bit more to
operate because of its V6 and its age.
Compared to my Suzuki it cost a bit more,
but over those three years the car really
(17:06):
only cost me about $5,000.
I have had other used vehicles.
I had a CX-9 that started getting into
electrical problems by the time.
I got rid of that vehicle after 30 years
because we got hit and I had to give it up.
I could have put half the money down for a
brand new one.
Now all those aftermarket part
manufacturers and all the repair shops made
good money off of me while I held on to
(17:28):
that old vehicle.
But I couldn't afford to spend $40,000 on a
vehicle at that point in time.
I was able to afford $6,000 to $8,000 on a
vehicle.
At that point in time I was able to afford
$6,000 to $8,000 on a vehicle and I could
afford to do maintenance on a vehicle
upwards of maybe $1,500 a year.
So those are the things you have to look at.
How much is it going to cost?
How much is it going to cost to upkeep?
But all that upkeep keeps this industry
(17:50):
alive.
The higher accessibility of aftermarket
parts, fluids all thanks to online ordering
Like companies like Rock Auto, really make
it easy for you to keep a lot of these
vehicles intact.
If I can do these things in my own garage,
which I'm mechanically inclined and do
quite a bit of work on that Suzuki to keep
it on the road, I can buy the parts online
(18:11):
and the parts are cheap.
I can buy the brand new.
I can buy them used.
I can go out to a wrecking yard and pull
them off myself.
I can keep these vehicles.
There's so many options.
A lot now.
Today, compared to back in the 90s, there's
actually a lot less used car dealers than
you used to find.
Used to find all those little shady guys
that would just paint over all the rest and
kind of top it up, just so you would take
(18:32):
it for a small test drive.
It feels okay, okay.
Second, you get it off the parking lot.
Two days down the road the engine blows up
on you, right, remember those old shady
guys, but those ones kept a lot of people
on the road.
Even though they caused so many problems,
they still kept people on the road and with
a problematic car, some people would buy
them.
They'd have to pay to fix them because they
spent so much money on them to keep them on
the road, which kept the shops and the part
(18:53):
manufacturers alive.
The other people that couldn't afford it
would scrap the thing.
Keeping the wrecking yards alive, keeping
the aftermarket parts industry alive Like
finding parts in my Suzuki, sometimes even
my Rio is getting harder and harder Finding
places like LPQ or even Universal Parts.
I can get parts from crash vehicles for my
vehicle.
I can keep them on the the road and as we
(19:15):
keep these industries alive, we can keep
our vehicles alive.
Now, our future really doesn't have a
bright ending to us right now because the
electric vehicle industry you have to
remember if the vehicle sits for so long,
you destroy the battery and if nobody's
building batteries or conversion kits for
it, essentially the car is scrap and we
have to start looking at that in the
industry.
The aftermarket industry really has to
(19:36):
start taking a look at batteries Because in
the future, to keep a Tesla Model S from
today alive 20 years down the road.
We're going to have to have a brand new
industry to keep these ones alive.
Wrecking yards are going to have new
environmental controls for batteries as
well.
Because batteries catch fire and it takes
forever to put them out.
You basically got to submerge them for
sometimes a week on end to put out the fire,
(19:58):
so that can become more of a hassle.
People don't want to deal with them, but
you can take them.
You could grind them down, turn them around
black mask, turn them back into brand new
batteries.
But what do you do with the car after you
rip the battery out my car?
I just go to, you know, Canadian Tire, buy
a new battery and get my car and back on
the road.
But the electric car industry could be a
problem and that's the issue.
We're now dealing with more autonomous
technology.
We're now dealing with more ride shares, so
(20:19):
that industry is slowly dying out.
If we start pulling more away from the
automobile industry, it starts jacking up
the price for everyone else.
COVID really showed this to us when the
industry got shut down only for a few weeks
and then maybe a month here and there.
All these little shutdowns, all these
little semiconductors not being made,
really screwed with the pricing of
(20:40):
automobiles.
It killed off all these little entry used
car dealerships, which mean all the entry
level vehicles under $5,000 vehicles have
disappeared from the marketplace today,
sure, you can buy a used vehicle, but
unless you're looking at close to $10,000,
you're not getting anything really good
anymore.
COVID helped destroy the used car market.
It still is easy to keep these old cars on
(21:00):
the road.
It's just harder to get them right off the
bat.
When I was a kid, I would go to a car
dealership, even a brand new car dealership
in town.
They would have cars ranging from $500 to
$50,000.
Today you're lucky to find a car on their
lot for $1,500, let alone $5,000.
But you'll find tons of them between the
$10,000 to $40,000 range.
(21:22):
Without these old cars sitting in these
lots and getting resold to people, we're
pulling an entire part of the marketplace
out.
And when these people don't get behind the
wheel of a vehicle at a young age, they're
not going to want to own one later on in
life, because they're going to learn about
public transit and become used to it.
They're going to learn about rideshare
programs.
They're going to learn about Uber and Lyft
(21:43):
using the trains, using the subways, all of
that.
What does that do?
That strains our public transit system,
because we've now developed a system for
automobiles and we never updated our public
transit.
So in the world today we still need to keep
these old cars on the road.
I have a couple friends that still need
these old cars to be able to get around.
They can't afford, you know, even over five
(22:03):
thousand dollars for a vehicle.
They're mechanically inclined so they can
keep them on the road and they know where
to get the parts cheap.
But they still need entry into this
marketplace.
The old car market's got to still kick
around.
We need this used car portion of the
marketplace.
No matter how much you want to get more and
more people off the highways and into
public transit, there are still people out
(22:25):
there who rely heavily on this marketplace
and thanks to companies like Rock Auto,
automotive, Canadian Tire, who does repairs
and even can get parts to your friendly
neighborhood mechanic down the road, they
all help keep these vehicles alive.
All we need to do is to keep the market
alive, because when that market starts
dying, some of these shops and some of
these part manufacturers start going with
(22:47):
it.
When that starts happening, then we're
going to start forcing a lot of people out
of the marketplace when Henry Ford brought
everyone into the automotive marketplace.
The revolution that is electric vehicles
and less parts and less aftermarket
serviceability and longevity of automobiles,
the revolution of higher price vehicles is
slowly coming in.
So, yes, we need these old cars.
(23:08):
Some of us just need them as an extra car
to get back and forth to work.
That Suzuki sits in my driveway in the
summertime.
I don't really use it much in the
summertime because it's my winter beater.
I prefer to use it in the winter.
Go back and forth to work.
That Suzuki sits in my driveway in the
summertime.
I don't really use it much in the
summertime because it's my winter beater.
I prefer to use it in the winter.
Go back and forth to work occasionally
every once in a while.
It it's so old and so paid off.
It's so easy to fix that.
Literally just keep it around to save on a
few extra expenses.
(23:29):
Without that industry, the car would be in
the trash right now.
I would have had to walk away from I almost
did once until I found the part at the
right price.
And when you find the part at the right
price, it gives life to these old cars.

us that find the auto looks podcast to get
the word out.
But all these automotive industries
questions that you have and the answers
that you now have you need to tell people.
That guy that just started a job, if he
can't afford to get one of those
entry-level vehicles and public transit out
to your location sucks.
(24:10):
He might not be able to work there forever
unless he's willing to bike his ass into
work right.
So for that we need the old car industry,
we need to keep these vehicles alive and
for myself, being a love affair with the
automobile industry and classic vehicles,
we always need to make parts for the
classics, because if my mustang can't get
back on the road, that's a sad day for me.
If I have to scrap it, good day for the
(24:31):
metal guys, bad day for me.
