      @@LuanCristianThums That's not even close to true my guy, the inline 4's have crazy issues, we've had several go boom on us in less than 5 years of ownership, the inline 5's are solid, and the V10's are well known to have lots of issues, ironically, the V8's in their RS4's and the like are the more reliable engines! There's nothing wrong with the V8 R8, just really poor mechanics who think they're qualified to work on them because it has 8 cylinders and must be just like the LS.
      Also, I feel like you're missing the point, there's nothing inherently wrong with the engines, but Audi's as a whole, are not known for reliability. My family has owned many Audi's, they all fall apart when they hit 5 years old, the interiors literally disintegrate because they use some incredibly cheap quality plastics that harden and become brittle over time. We switched to BMW a few years back and haven't looked at another Audi since, my old E46 has a more solid interior than my uncle's 2016 A3, and one of the "Pros" about the A3 according to CarGurus is a "well built interior", we own one, that's not even slightly true lmao the trim pieces fall off, they're barely held on by plastic clips that easily break, the center console is fading, the gauge cluster stopped working for a while before we got it fixed, the seats feel lumpy and uncomfortable, the AC vents are sticky, the door pull handles cracked and fell apart, the door latches broke several times. We haven't even talked about just how many months that car has spent in service either, it had overheating issues, head gasket issues, cooling hoses breaking because they're made of cheap plastic. He hates that car with an unbridled passion, but he's stuck paying for it, but that car wasn't my family's first run in with Audi, we've had older Audi's before and this is not a new issue, this is how those cars have always been built, as cheaply as possible, my uncle still counts himself as lucky because he's yet to have the engine fail catastrophically like my other uncle and aunt had the displeasure of happening to them with their older Audis. We, like everyone else, kept buying them because they are very good looking cars, but they're the worst cars possible to own for any length of time outside the warranty period.
      From what I've heard, no personal experience, but Mercedes seems to be of similarly poor quality RECENTLY, I've heard the older Mercs are tanks. From personal experience, BMW builds the best cars, but not recently as they too have started using lots of plastic in the engine bay with the only logical reasoning behind it being Planned Obsolescence, they want it to fail so you'll buy a new one, but even then, we still haven't had a negative experience with BMW aside from expensive service costs.

    • @LuanCristianThums
      @LuanCristianThums 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@chickenpotpie4045 well that might be the reason for confusion. I was thinking of engines that'd have something "inherently wrong" and that's why I mentionted the R8 v8, with plenty spun bearings even without any performance mods. I'd say opinions like these are highy dependent on experience, and at my friends specialized BWM shop they'd absolutely disagree with your last paragraph. The number of V8 BMW SUVs with expensive mechanical issues is astonishing. The diesels are even worst. Just the other day an absolutely stock n55 m2 had to come in for bottom end issues. S55 are known for their problematic crank hubs.
      Truth is most sports cars nowadays are far from reliable.
      I own a 2018 RS3 though and have not seen any serious issues yet from my experience or from other fellow RS3 owners

      Expect the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing o-ring, and the oil pan gasket to be leaking. Expect it to need a few thousand in suspension work.
      Test the engine for good compression, make sure the transmission isn't too crunchy and that the driveline doesn't have a bunch of backlash, and if it passes those tests then she can do the rest.

    "THEEEEE....most honest used car handler on the internet!"
    Those last few sentences you said about the videos doing well and the vehicles costing money any so on, were some of the most honest moments I've felt in a LONG time on "YouTubios Lia-lot-tus"
    I started in new car sales at 19 at Ford Dealership in 1998 then on to Assistant Used Car Manager and back up Finance Manager at Dodge Chrysler Jeep store till 2001. I then got my decent break as a New Car Finance Manager at an Atlanta Ga Honda dealership at 23 years old. I did this for 4 more years (8 years for a NORMAL JOB LOL!) and then bam....out and started my own high end mobile detailing business! LOL.
    So this episode was like my autobiography.
    Thank you Hoovie for all you do for us!!!!

He didn't get scammed, as that would allude that he did everything in his power to make sure the car was in the condition he expected/wanted. As you said, it is why people get PPI's. It makes even more sense when you go into high dollar deals like this, but he bought this car sight unseen and had it shipped, so that is his issue and no one else's. Yes it sucks, but playing the victim card is disingenuous and it seems he did not learn from buying the sight unseen Road Runner, so this is 100% his fault.
