I want to see Scotty try to make a video with his hands in his pockets, or tied behind his back. He gives out great advice and shows how to trouble shoot problems and how to fix them.

Love this guy, I'm not even into automotive and watch his vids.

Yea I remember him calling the Lexus LS unreliable if you get v8 and you should get the 6. They never made a 6 for it and the 8s last well beyond 500k. Stopped watching him after

Except there was a v6:
"For the first four generations, all LS models featured V8 engines and were predominantly rear-wheel-drive, with Lexus also offering all-wheel-drive, hybrid, and long-wheelbase variants. The fifth generation changed to using a V6 engine with no V8 option, and only one length was offered."

Low compression? pour a 1/2 cap or 10ml engine oil down each spark plug hole.wait a few seconds then retest.
Still low compression? your valve seats are fucked. the oil will temporarily compensate for ring wear. I would expect 140 PSI as a good value, 120 is an old or low compression level, Cars with turbos are normally under-compressed.Less than 100 PSI? crikey, get a new one. under 90 PSI good luck. If your petrol cap says 95+ DO IT as some motors are high compression (10:1) up and if you don't have the octanes it will pre ignite(damage). My bike is 12.5:1 it gets 1/2 98 and 1/2 avgas(110 RON leaded). 14:1 would be a top end motor. my Honda car commuter gets 91 and should be fucking happy with that lol.

If an engine runs smooth and has good power it by default has even and adequate compression. Today's cars are not easy to do a compression test on. In fact they have a cranking sequence so if you try and crank it and it doesn't start it throws codes.
The best way to buy a car is to see it on a lift and tip the tech 20 bucks to look out for you.
Also... listen to him when he tells you its a piece of shit..... too many people buy cars the way they pick girlfriends.. by how hard they make your dick before they fuck you good... then its too late.. your stuck...

Good advice, about cars and women.
