STOP: These Are The WORST Used Cars People BUY!

Love this kind of information. So glad to see this back in action !

My boring comfy 2009 Lincoln Town car is pushing 340,000 with no problems except changing the airbags to regular springs😂😂

Thank you for calling out the Hyundai Sonata. We are the unfortunate owners of a 2013 Sonata and I can attest, all of Mark’s points are correct. I had a full engine swap at 130,000km covered under warranty due to metal shavings in the engine. The car has held up, however after 10 years it cost me a pretty penny to keep alive. We purchased this car when we were young and dumb… We now have a second vehicle, 2021 Toyota Highlander Platinum, now I can say with full confidence I will never go back to Hyundai.

I bought a brand new Cruze in 2013. The starter went out within the first 7 months. The fuel pump went out in one year.

Knew a guy owned Range Rover, 3,000 bucks to replace headlamp that stopped working. Sealed electronic module, no bulb replacement , had to go to dealer over 2 hours away to get replaced, just a nightmare vehicle.

i have a chevy cruze 1.8 just hit 100k miles and i swear to god i have been fixing this junk ever since it had 66k miles i owned it for 2 years and i am getting rid of it. this was the worst choice i've ever made to buy this junk

In 2015, I got a job working outreach, helping individuals with developmental disabilities. Gas prices were through the roof and my mileage check wasn’t covering the gas in my Jeep. So, I started shopping for used, low mileage 4x4’s or AWD’s. Surprisingly, I wound up buying a 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman S. It was a lease trade in, had all service records, was meticulously maintained and had 21,000 miles (34k km is my math is right). It was absolutely meticulous and a blast to drive with a 6 speed manual. Plus, I loved the looks on people’s faces when I got out of it. I’m 6’4” 250lbs. It was also insanely, Cadillac comfortable and an absolute blast to drive in Sport Mode. I had dealer installed JCW upgrades done (intercooler, exhaust and turbo downpipe upgrade). The car was on rails and an absolute joy to drive - right up until it hit 100,000 miles and all hell broke loose. Small, everyday problems, were insanely difficult to fix and wildly expensive. Everything from thermostat, to oil leaks, PCV valves (built into the valve cover) on and on. It threw a $90.00 transfer bearing in the transmission (no not my fault) and it caught fire. I should have let it burn. Thankfully, my car insurance covered a new transmission, but the engine is throwing codes, like a toddler pitching a fit. Then, I got cancer. It’s still sitting in my mechanics lot and I have no idea what it will take to get running again. I would never, ever buy another one, but I have to say, I’d lease one in a second. It was a seriously fun and underrated car. Just insanely expensive to fix and most mechanics - even mine who specializes in European cars, hate working on them.

I used to have an E350 MB and after 5, 6 times back and forth with a dealership, they could not fix it!!! A master tech at a big dealership: " too much engineering, too much money, but too many failures..." Sorry, no more MB!!!!

It's not often that I agree with YouTubers and their opinions, but dude everything you covered here was not biased or based off opinion. It was all fact based and I respect that. New car quality is at an all time low. Buying a good used car is not as easy as it used to be.

As a 26 year veteran mechanic, I’ll say just don’t buy anything made after around 2010. It’s all junk.

Last week "I Do Cars" tore down a core Nissan Variable compression to see what failed. Spun a rod bearing. The level of complexity was begging for failure.

Great information. Thank you. I learned to stay away from any car with CVTs. I had a Nissan Rogue which was an absolute nightmare; three transmissions within a short period of time. I was glad a law firm handling a class action lawsuit against Nissan called me and I actually got every penny I paid Nissan back. At one point I sent Nissan an email telling them had I not paid for the car in full upon purchase, I would have them repossess it because I was always in the shop for repairs. I don't care if the CVTs have improved. I don't want to have another nightmare. I wouldn't consider buying another Nissan car at all.

if you want to make an AUDI last, don't drive it.

My brother purchased a used 2017 Mercedes C300 a few years ago and the maintenance issues are costing him big time. He told me his next vehicle will be a Honda. I continue to enjoy driving my 2005 Toyota Camry without costly maintenance issues. Reply

My wife bought a new Kia Soul 2016 now 8 years later still running like new. But of course we keep up with the maintenance. Like tranny fluid flush. Radiator flush. New brakes oil change every 5000 miles. Still looks new and so far been a good little car I hope it keeps going strong. 70,000 miles on it. So who knows ??

Always been into cars and sold cars in the car business for some time. I believe this guy knows what he is talking about and is sincere. Good stuff. Keep it up, your doing an invaluable service in helping more people than you probably know.

You got a sub after the sad little people waiting for the tow truck on the Cherokee😂

Audi's oil consumption issues are notorious. All 2,0TFSI and not only. What's "funny" is that dealers will try to convince you that is normal. I mean what's normal to haul a big jug of oil just in case the oil light comes on on your dash.The oil issues lead to the even worse issues with their timing chains when they start getting loose and the engine starts misfiring and eventually will seize. Don't ask me how I know 🤪There was even a class action lawsuit in Canada few yrs back. They are not Land/Range Rover bad YET but if they keep going on like this the japanese and the Koreans will eat their their lunch. They already started.

Perfect list of cars to avoid. If I may add: in general, newer cars seem to be less reliable than those built 10 or more years ago. Way too many engine and transmission failures. Direct injection and complex turbo engines are a strong No! Car electronics and gizmos have jumped the shark - so expensive to repair and not reliable.
