In a YouTube video, he said: “What is the best used car under $4,200 (£3,312) bucks?
“The one you can find that’s in good shape for that kind of money.
“You never know what you’re going to run into but in general Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas, Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys are really excellent cars with little maintenance.
“So even if they didn’t maintain them perfectly they can still be pretty good cars.
“You can have a hard time finding a good one unless it’s a friend, family or something like that because cars are getting expensive, even a used one, but those are the best out there.”
In another TikTok video Mr Kilmer previously revealed easy check can guarantee that you’re not being ripped off when you buy a used car.
In a TikTok video, he said: “Today I’m going to show you one of the biggest scams in used-car sales.
“Disreputable used-car lots will advertise a car on Craigslist or Facebook.
“But they’ll have a private individual pretending it’s their car.
“Demand to see the certificate showing who the owner of the car is.
“If the present owner doesn’t have the same name as the person selling the car, run away.
“Some people might say ‘What’s in a name?’ Well, the name on the title – there’s a lot in that.”
