Recently found this channel while doing some research on a 2019 Macan that has caught my eye. Generally, pretty good info to be found for someone making their first foray into luxury brands. Thanks.
We really do try to help car buyers. All these wonderful car reviewers talk about options and features, but few talk about long term ownership. We share the goods and the bags, because thats what really matters.
Never, ever purchase these used luxurious vehicles due to high costs of maintenance and repairs. Thank you very much.
Basically you’re buying other people’s problems with them cars. We don’t know how the previous owner treated the car
Is not to not buy them used
THE SOLUTION IS TO BUY THEM PERIOD.
BUY LEXUS OR TOYOTA I
NSTEAD
Use it as a weekend car instead of a daily and you’ll be just fine.
Unless it's a Lexus. You're good with a Lexus.
@@andresbecerra315 I once had a 2004 Lexus RX330 and it costs pennies on the dollar for maintenance. If I need a small SUV, I would buy that same Lexus again so I can have something nice and comfortable and not have to worry about payments. I’d take an old reliable Lexus RX over the new Chevy equinox any day.
Your videos always knock me back into reality. I do not want to spend so much money to maintain a car.
Had a 2014 Mercedes Benz that I bought from a used car lot. That car drove like a charm and I had one mechanic friend from a Mercedes Benz dealership that only service it when need be. It only cost me $150 to service it every 8 months.
@@flexx7611thank you
That's exactly what they don't understand
Still driving my 2015 Mercedes S550. After 61k miles I have had one repair in 8 years- a broken spring on the retractable door in the center console. About the replace the rear brakes. The parts cost is $250. Easy enough to change them myself. Wonderful car.
Just by comparison, I own 2012 Lexus LS 460 with 167,000 miles and no., absolutely no repairs. Routine miles only. I am just about to do my brakes for the 1st time.
What do you mean ''still'' it's not even 10 years old.
My mom's W123 bought new in 1981, has 237.000 miles on it. The only part that has ever been changed is the waterpump. 👍💪
@@famicomnintendo that's not true depending on when it was purchased if it was purchased early in the 2012 model year in Oct/Nov 2011 it would be almost 13 years old now. my late maternal grandmothers 2005 Toyota Camry LE was listed at 20,000 new but wasn't the base trim at the time as it is now
@@beverlyquintela2754 I have a 2012 Honda Accord. Zero repairs. And I still don't have to do my brakes or anything.
Expensive cars are expensive to maintain. Congratulations on that insight. The Porsche car is usually a second car and will probably be driven less than 5K per year. Oil change each year and it’s done. If you want a cheap car with cheap maintenance, you can buy less complex, often times, less fun cars. It’s a trade off and you need to do buy what fits your needs.
Porsches are expensive to maintain because people stick to the maintenance schedule and go to the dealer for everything to keep the value of their car up. If you buy a used Porsche and do not use the dealer, you can save ton of money and the cars are built really well. Except for some of the plastic parts like window switches that they use to save weight
The problem with this argument is that number one people who buy these cars can afford to maintain them and secondly would move onto another new car before any serious problem would arise.
facts
Thanks and that really is true. Most who do buy new can afford. Only challenge are then2nd or 3rd owners who might get in over their heads.
@@ECPP Agreed Mark. My point was mainly at those who buy these vehicles new.
PPL with money will do that.
“ Douche Nozzle” can also be applied to the drivers of Hummer H2s and well as the G-Wagon.
The sad thing is …. the people who buy them used are always the ones who can’t afford or can barely afford the amount of repairs and monthly payments associated with ownership of luxury vehicles.
My 2020 Tundra has cost me $500 in maintenance /repairs so far. $250 was for two new front rotors due to excessive rust. Next time I am switching to MSport rotors and pads.
wow, a 2020 Thundra already need to replace the rotors? For real?
@@eggheadegghead Dealer told me that the excessive rust would cause noose when braking. I will buy hi performance next time with anti corrosion coating. I had them on my Tacoma. I find Toyota rotors for trucks to be kind of crappy.
Thank you so much. Message is loud and clear for "We the Middle Class income earners". Stay clear away frim these LIFE THREATENING vehicles.
Well said!
Since when have middle class been able to afford luxury cars? There’s no worry for them because they can’t t afford these cars to begin with. Not unless they buy something really old.
April in Canada is like freaking winter😮
It really is
Thanks! Very useful to know
Excellent video, thank you
Great video - a real bucket of cold water. It's one thing to figure the yearly cost of ownership for a vehicle, but when you consider "Okay how long do I plan on owning this?" that's when the reality sets in. $18-20K just in general maintenance, no surprises. Astounding.
Forgot the entire engine for the Range Rover - needs replacing every 1000 miles!
15k for a 10 year time frame for a car sounds pretty good actually
I was thinking the same thing. That equates to $125 a month....
😂 That is on top of monthly payments and major repairs. Why shouldn’t I lease then?
Regarding 911, avoid the 991 & 992 and get a 997. You can do pretty much yourself if you take pleasure in it. I had a GT3 clubsport as a trackcar and for fun Paneuropean adventures. Changed pads and discs regularly on my own. Oil and filter too. Quite uncomplicated. Good to do before driving hard on Nürburgring and in the Alps
Good video again just wondering if you ever did a video with kia stinger gt2
It's disappointing to see car companies milking their customers.
I agree
My heart drops very time I see these types of videos then everything goes back to normal when I don't see my car. Thank you for education the world on the good bad and ugly when it comes to cars
I personally feel like a vehicle that’s turbo and supercharged is definitely not going to last a long time but I could be wrong
That’s fair
The same engine not being turbocharged and just naturally aspirated will last longer. Turbocharge or supercharged puts more pressure and heat on any engine, which all contribute to wear and tear. A fortress of an engine like a naturally aspirated 2JZ will last longer than it's counterpart turbocharged version. Simple as that
Great informative video as always! What about doing one on the cheapest to run! 👍🙏👍
ok - >>->>->> Dacia, Renault, Honda, Skoda, Toyota, KIA, Hyundai, Opel, Citroen, Ford.. etc as SSang-yong are neglected
There are some luxury cars that are cheap to repair like the 2004 Lexus RX330
TOYOTA/LEXUS for me 😊
I am with you on that.
My 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6L is now 10 years old. A few small repairs when new under warranty. Completely trouble free. Lots of engine oil changes, coolant and brake fluid as well. I performed (early) the 45k mile transmission oil service. It has the original Brembo brake pads that have worn very well. This is my wife's car.
Great run downs. Good job.
Thanks
2006 ram had 17 years with few problems, lots of towing. If you maintain and drive reasonably, they last without major repairs.
True
awesome man!! keep it up the goods videos 10:41
Thanks so much
Love the channel
I really appreciate that. We are working very hard to bring value with information and entertainment. Cheers
I just bought my second new car in the past 30 years. It is one of those high end European. I had bought a Lexus on impulse a year ago, which I regretted. I got it for the long-term reliability but the fact is I have never kept a car for that long. Up until last year I leased. For me, leasing is the way to go. Then as long as the car is still under warranty, I don’t have to worry about it. I do the minimum maintenance required (which is not everything on the maintenance schedule) and turn the sucker in. I MIGHT do that with this car…turn it in and eat the depreciation and go back to leasing. Whatever way I go, I can afford many of these cars and I do NOT care.
Cheers
Thanks!
nice
I didn't get the message. In general, for good experience you should pay. In this logic, we all need to drive Corolla.
Can you do a video in Mustangs, based on your knowledge about cost and repair after 5-10 years. Also what you think of them for a regular consumer, etc.
I remember in the day when Volvo assembled cars in Canada east coast
Great review! Would an aftermarket warranty help with these issues?
It may, yes. CPO ideally
Throughout my life I have always been fortunate to have newer premium brand cars. I haven't had many in that I kept my Volvo GLE 740 for 27 years, But then things changed, I had a Volvo 240 turbo which started to cost money straight out of the dealers and it only lasted me 4 months and it was done. I made a deal to get out of it and into a Volvo XC90 which had 3 new engines within 4 years. Enough of that I drove of the lot with a Mercedes ML350 diesel which was awesome car... until it started to have an electrical problem. 6 dealer visits and $6000 later they still couldn't find out what was wrong. Again enough! I drove off the dealers lot with a used mint condition Ford Escape, 5 years on I have replaced the original battery, had oil changes and air filters etc and new winter and summer tires. It's going to be driven a long time into the future whilst it's the least expensive and reliable car I've had to date in many years. It's neither premium or pretentious and doesn't attract attention, but still gets me from a to b with greater economy and fewer headaches.
my uncle is a millionaire and always drives used cheap cars! just doesn't see the value behind buying expensive toys that won't last.
@@limeyosu2000 Agreed! as they say your cars in life are your biggest depreciating asset. I always recall a story about the Owner/President of a company who used to watch candidates for his accounting dept arrive in the parking lot for their interviews. When later asked why he hired the cleanly dressed guy with the clunker over the GQ dressed guy with the high end car, he said the guy with the clean attire and a clunker was equally qualified... but less likely to squander company money foolishly.
Would you buy a 2021 bmw x5 40i with 14k on it (demo) and should i buy extended warranty
Can you do regular cars? Possibly base to mid level trim
Hey man, love the types of videos you make, but I have a off topic question for you. Just saw your video from 1 year ago about The Infinti vs Lexus Reliability Showdown and I was wondering what are your thoughts on the Infinity M 3.0d S from 2011(the one I am looking at has around 170k km.)? Any information you can give me like reliability, common problems, and overall maintence sum up, ect. is priceless mainly because I am considering to buy one.
I am waiting for the video when you are chased off by the dealership 😂 That Jag is beautiful
Yup, OnPoint 💯. Gotta Pay The Cost If You Wanna Be The Boss !! 😉🤑💰💰💰
There are now very few reliable 6 or 8 cylinders available in Europe, due to stupid green regulations. They force small engines on people, before they end the sales of fuel cars.
If you are someone (like me), you probably not going to keep a new car for ten years. A long term user buys slightly used and THEN drives it for ten years
Agree, that’s generally how I have run. Get a good late model car and forego much depreciation and own for a long time
I enjoy your content…l luv the way you pull no punches 🥊 with your reviews 😂. Btw…are you in Alaska ?!? Seems like it’s always cold 🥶 & or snowing…or do you just record all your videos in the winter 🤔 ?
He lives in Canada, I believe. He has mentioned it a couple of times
I stopped buying cars and only lease and buy all kinds of insurance. My wallet is happy and anxiety levels have dropped significantly.
Is the yearly cost portrayed in CAD or USD?
Like how I always say stick with either Toyota or Honda
They are durable
10:01 look at those two beauties. The X6M and the GLE coupe sitting side by side in the same color 🙂
You bet. Cheers
.... sitting side by side waiting to be fixed ...
You can make fun of me the Chevy Spark is hard to beat you have to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 40,000 if you have a Cvt like mine but it get great mileage cheap to purchase very basic and reliable yes it’s slow and uncomfortable but it’s cheap to maintain
Life is too short to drive boring cars?
But you are telling us not to buy them.
Just bought a low mileage Mercedes ML-350 that I love. Perhaps the cost is worth it? Until now I’ve always bought economy. This car is great and I purchased a four year bumper to bumper maintenance insurance policy incase something fails. $21k + $4k and $3.7k given to me for an Accord with the CVT transmission on its last leg. So far so good. Never would pay $60k for a new one but paying less than what a new Corolla would cost I’m hoping will turn out to be a good idea. And yes, it is definitely not boring to drive.
My worst financial mistake to date was purchasing a one owner used Audi Q5. Ultra trash. Now I have a Rx300. 0 problems except rust
Just watched the full vid. What model was the M-B? You didn't say🎹🎶
G63
Ok , Mark I am looking to purchase a luxury SUV for my wife, the Audi Q5, BMW 3 ( maybe a 5) or the Volvo xc60, the lesser of the evils, knowing that these vehicles WILL Cost more to maintain, what is the best choice for the money., thanks love your channel.
In one of your videos you say Acura MDX is worst car but then in your 300,000 plus mile reliability you say it is one of the best. Is it a good reliable SUV? Was thinking of a 2019 or 2020. Please let me know what you think.
Does this also apply to the regular x6 sdrive35i? Thinking about getting a 2017 47k miles.
Yes
This is certainly an excellent video, and I do not mean to be harsh, yet any lady or gentleman purchasing any of these very expensive cars has to accept that the maintenance on them will equally be very costly. It should not
, Mhowever, be out of their budgets. If maintenance costs are really too much, though, have they considered the Toyota Corolla? Their maintenance costs would go way down. I feel sad for all these Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, and Range Rover drivers
I don't drive much, but in a year I will do 1 oil change or 3k to 5k miles (2016 Scion iM). Other than gas it costs around 60 bucks a year or so lol. Crazy stuff, the fancy screens and etc are unnecessary... I know it isn't a fancy car, but it's reliable and actually fun to drive with the 6sp manual.
it’s basically a toyota so it’ll last forever
Love your videos. It might help to provide links to the sources of your information, such as the maintenance cost estimates.
I know he uses the repair pal website a lot.
Looking to purchase a big inexpensive luxury cruiser…I’ve had them all & all are overrated. What’s your take on the Hyundai Equus 🤔 ? I can get a 2012 for around $10K
Hyundai are all garbage. That is why you can can buy them so cheap, cheaply made. Would just be a headache but some are still into those. I wouldn’t recommend a Hyundai and I am nearly positive that Mark wouldn’t either
@@ralphbrown1053 thanks for your input 👍🏾
whats 15.000 when you spend six figures to buy a car in the first place
Euro cars are notorious for expensive cost of ownership
Not only do you get depreciation and big expenses, you also get depression to boot.
Can you do a video on the 2019 GLE AMG 43 coupe , let me know
I will try to get one and do so
@@ECPP thank you,
“ Douche Nozzle” .. I just laughed out loud
The Lamborghini huracan has hundreds of components that are Audi or Volkswagen. Even suspension components as part of the chassis
For sure
it is like average person 2-4 month salary over 10y...
like other cars have 0 expence over 10y...
I’m a line cook and own a MINI and a Jaguar so yea a lot of my income goes to repairs 😂😂😂
That can do it for sure
When the technology, engine & transmission goes bad, why will anybody will what to own one of these ‘monstrosity’ overprice vehicles? They all full of plastic & rubber, Oh! don’t forget the hidden fee like the heating seat subscriptions to name some. I will again repeat ‘Its not what you want, it what you need’🤷🏽♂️But thats me.
I wanna get a 2019 E-300 with 30k miles on it. Is it a bad choice ?
Probably not. Personally, I would get a acura of Lexus but since it's ts newer, it might not be too bad. All comes down to maintenence history and price. Those depreciate like nothing
As much as the Q5 gets hammered on for reliability and maintenance, i calculated all the maintenance costs i had over 10 years of actual ownership of my 2013. The total 10 year cost came in at $4937. That included the $600 service i did on the ZF transmission 2 years ago, oem fluid/filter/gasket. I did all of the maintenance myself, except for the new tires and the water pump that was replaced by the dealer in 2019. It was an expensive item, but i got a 2018 Q5 loaner for 5 days included........and i learned that i didnt like the newer ones at all. Comfortable and nice interior, but the new 7 speed double clutch trans was jerky, and all of the exterior sensor alarms were driving me nuts going in and out of the garage. I only have about 85k on my 2013, and i am gonna keep it a bit longer since its still running so good.
How many km ?
@@welshrarebit9238 136,794 km.
In Asia most 2010s Audi q SUV are dead. These cars are imported from UK and no one can maintain it. Meanwhile W124 are still on the road.
Had I disgusting amounts of money I'd pay a fortune to keep an xc90 in tip top shape.
That’s fair indeed
We drive our vehicles a very long time. We save money every month so we can pay cash for our next vehicle.
AMG All Money Gone!
Nice
Why would anybody want a car with more electronics and systems than a 747 just to go from A to B? No thanks!
I will maybe buy a Ford Explorer ST. What do you think
Well…..
Everything COSTS A FORTUNE IN CANADA
Curious, what is your thoughts on a 2014 or 2015 BMW 640i when it comes to the long haul (10+ years)? I work remote so not a lot of driving except when I need to visit the office (350 mile round trip) every few months or quarterly. I believe these year models uses the N55B30 engine? How well do they hold up?
They hold up well but forget about the 6 Series, they're over priced & over compromised, not very sporty and not very comfortable or practical either. Get a 2017-18 540i instead, same price range but more modern, more comfortable/practical, better mpg and better performance because 2017+ 540i's use the B58 which is basically an upgraded N55, a more durable and more efficient motor.
All plastics close to the engine and rubber hoses will for sure causes big issues, especially the hoses, or let both change them. Check your fluids very often.
@@BrainFuck10 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into them as well.
Hey The G class for 12 000 miles per year is 5000 dollars not 1500 to meintain
No no you are a little of about the Porsche being difficult for the do it yourselfer to wrench on. The Porsche is pretty easy to work on ,and you can drop that engine pretty damn quick to be honest bro. You would be surprised to find out that working on them 911s etc can be easier than some of these common sport compact cars.
I don't really keep up on these fancy cars. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about them. It would be interesting to know the repair cost for a 15 mph front end collision.
Ah Mark spicy review, however, very helpful. New words for the day “Dushe Nozzles”😂✌️
Old Volvo, make engine as less stress as possible.
New Volvo, what stress? I need more boost. How about supercharge and turbo, add hybrid just in case we don't hit the emission.
Yeah, those are cars that many can buy, but many can't afford to drive and maintain them and value of those are dropping like carzy because of that.
Ok, i think Porsche 911 doesn't drop its price and ain't junk, it's just so expensive to keep and spare part prices... 😄
Too short crayon when colouring colouring book 😂
Haha, I love the crayon bit too. Yes indeed Porsches at least hold their value
In addition to the depreciation, ownership can be overwhelming, I'm sure!
Totally true Thomas. The wrong car can really be an overwhelming experience. A great example could be a 6 year old Range Rover. Ouch
@@ECPP someone should legally have you committed, if that is your selection! Absolutely horrible absolutely!
Ugggh I've always wanted an XC90
They are a pretty SUV though, actually nicer than many German rigs
like come on the XC90, the G63 AMG, the Q8? you might as well add the urus or the purosangue or the levante, the goal of this kind of video should be presenting cars that don't look expensive to maintain but are, because here its just pointing the obvious for the sake of producing a video.
I have x6 m50i
Christ, what a scary video. Thanks for the warning!
Glad to maintain our 07 GL450. she's almost at 200k miles. had her for over a decade. Very nice SUV and definitely will continue to maintain her for miles to come. My advice, if you have your luxury vehicle already paid off just maintain it. They're all becoming the same these days anyways.
Right on! I agree especially if it’s manageable and not a total lemon. Many good luxury cars out there
@@ECPP Mark do you think the new GLS can last 200k miles?
@@frankdong7229 any car can lasts that long my friend. It’s all down to how you maintain and are willing to put the $ or work in yourself to keep that beauty going for years to come.
Just buy a Mercedes C55 AMG, very reliable and it never lets me down.
What about a Lamborghini Gallardo ?
Douche Nozzles? Lmfaooooo 😅
Haha, nice
Two years from now you won't have to feature Jaguar in this grouping because chances are the brand will not be around any longer.
I hear there may be something brewing at the corporate level
@@ECPP Complete over-haul of TATA management and their cars is a good start!
A large party or a soiree..lol.
The G class worth spending
havent heard "douche Nozzle" in a few years!! the videos are better all the time more info and cost of ownership well done!
Thanks for watching
I choose not to buy expensive cars and use public transport
What's with the facial "refresh"?
Nah, none of these crappy vehicles for me but I'll take one MB 300TD or 2.7L Sprinter with very low, low mileage.
too big to park anywhere
