  • In my opinion, these 10 used cars are the worst to buy. I think you'll end up with big maintenance or repair bills and you'll also find reliability and depreciation to be a concern. These are the worst used cars to buy as far as I'm concerned!
    We'll walk through what's good about these cars and also why you should avoid them. In a lot

      There used to be a term, "conspicuous consumerism" which translates as, "keeping up with the Jones's". In the 80's, the "young upwardly mobile" junior execs all raced out to buy their BMW's. They actually didn't plan on keeping them more than a year or so because they planned to trade them as soon as possible. Consider this to the younger mentality of expensive and flashy sneakers.
      I'm a baby boomer who grew out of poverty and had to make every penny last. Since then, I've always bought a vehicle with intentions of keeping it at least 10 years and/or 150K miles before thinking about replacing it.

      My mom just traded her 2017 Santa Fe sport because it burned 2 Quarts every 1.5k miles. Only had 80k miles. It was ridiculous. She got a 2019 rav 4 with 17k miles. I’m happy she listened to me and got a Toyota.

  • @jwjoelwilder
    @jwjoelwilder 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Our 2013 Santa Fe gave us a lot of anxiety when the dealership said all our car needed was an engine flush and firmware update after alot of noises and tensioner replacements. They did extend the warranty by 20,000 miles which was good because the engine failed at 110000 and we got a replacement. We've had no other problems and we're gonna see how long we can keep it.

Mustangs are attractive,but I doubt I could ever get comfortable enuf to fully trust putting my $ down on any Fords (sorry 2 say).

The car has 185,000 miles and the serpentine belt just broke. Other then that I have not had to change one single part on the motor. The last vehicle I would buy right now is a cheaply built ford.

      I guess it's a draw of the luck. I have a 2009 rogue that I bought brand new. When it hit 100,000 miles in 2020 I had to have the transmission rebuilt. It had had all maintance done according to mileage since I bought it. Now, 2024 here comes the transmission again. Slipping. I don't wait for the 30,000 mile CVT fluid change. I did my CVT fluid change every other year. No where close in the 30,000 mileage change. I am going back to honda and Toyota. NO intentions on rebuilding the transmission again. Not coming out of toyota or honda anymore.

      I don't completely agree. I believe the consumer caused the increase prices in cars and the automobile companies ran away with it. People prefer SUVs and Trucks and naturally they will cost more than a car. Then people need the heated steering wheels, expensive infotainment systems which drive the cost of cars. Just a few years ago many companies offered a variety of cheap entry level vehicles but people stopped buying them so they are gone off the market. Today everyone wants an X5, Lexus RRH350 and Ford F150s. So if people want those vehicles or any thing close to it you will have to pay for it.

    And there you have it, the list of cars that the original owners knew enough to dump before the warranty was up. The question is not why to dump but when. It is also a good idea to check vehicle history when buying CPO or low mileage /one (responsible) owner cars to see what inherent gremlins have infected the vehicle. We bought a new 2007 Jaguar X-Type at such time from a Jaguar dealer and the electrical system suffered a complete failure at 14K miles. It was under warranty but we dumped that car on a trade-in while it was being repaired at Jaguar because this seemed to be a forecast of things to come. The trade was for a Lincoln T-Car, which was more reliable despite the same company ownership.

Here is the catch about my car: Since I took it out of the Nissan dealership, are you ready for this? I NEVER took it back for any free or charged maintenance!! LOL! My mental disease is that I never trust any mechanics!! The only thing that I religiously have done in the last 13 years is paying for highest price fuel (VPower) by Shell gas stations.

    I 💯 % disagree, I've owned 2 nissan's. Currently I have 2016 Rogue w/ 132,000 miles, bought it @ 93,000 miles. I drove from NYC to Florida 3 times, from Florida to Virginia twice, from Florida to Nevada & back to Florida, from Florida to South Carolina & back to Florida, and from Florida to Arkansas 2x & back, 🗣 NOT A SINGLE REPPAIR DONE besides routine maintenance. And that was all done this year from April to November. Can't wait to 👀 where we go Rogue next year🤔🤷🏽 I did buy new tires because i did do alot of driving but all cars & trucks need tire replacement after x amount of miles. No matter what you drive, keep up with your regular scheduled maintenance & you'll be fine.

    My 2017 Giulia has 65K miles and I've never had a problem in almost six years. Years ago I got into a big argument with a friend who swore the Alfa spec oil (that was hard to find five years ago) was "BS" because any oil of the proper weight would be fine. I said "if Alfa says use only this spec, that is the spec I will use, I don't care it costs twice as much as Supertech at Wal-Mart". I also had a 2012 Enclave for years that I gave to a young relative (still going strong at 160K miles) and when I got it my mechanic said "make sure you top off between oil changes, that GM 3.6 can stretch its chain due to low oil". He said 90% of the GM 3.6 we get in for stretched timing chain, the owner left oil in too long or didn't put enough in. So that's what I did and here it is at 160K purring like a kitty. I've learned that there are no unreliable cars, only unreliable owners.

It’s a Certified vehicle and in addition to my 35K warranty I bought a 100K warranty on it. It’s like a warranty with AAA services. I love it’s pickup on the highway merging, 38 mpg and hardly have to put foot on gas constantly as it’s aerodynamics keeps it going. Paid 14,900 for it used.

    I agree with the comment that new cars are so expensive many consumers balk of having to spend so much money on one. So the solution is to buy a good reliable used car.
    I bought a used 2014 Honda still under warranty. It now has 145,009 miles on the odometer. It actually has been reliable though not quite as good as the 1992 Honda which I finally had to get rid of at 295,092 miles.
    Extended warranties I find could be valuable in the long run.

    Mark is telling the absolute truth on the Santa Fe debacle, especially the turbo sport version. Many other Hyundai/Kia engines have the same issues with fires, oil consumption, thrown rods, etc. There are literally hundreds of articles, former Hyundai/Kia techs, videos and testimonials written about the oil consumption and engine failures. And the Hyundai headquarters tell their dealerships service departments that "Using 1 quart of oil every 750 miles is a normal usage issue on an engine with 75000 plus miles on it." Even with 100% service records of every recommended Hyundai upkeep and recall that the dealership has from the first record to the last, the Hyundai commitment is delay, deny and deflect.
    It's a quagmire if you own one of these and experience the indifference of the Hyundai handshake.

I was in school back then and was able to get in a cheap BMW.. It had the so called the infamous N20 engine I guess. Besides brake pads, tires and regular maintenance I didn't pay for any major problems. Great way to get into the brand and no regrets.
