I agree, I bought my 2011 and purchased the extended warranty, and as soon as that expired, I started having problems. It’s not just the quality of the car that’s living off the past, but it’s also the customer service. I had a recall issue so I took my vehicle in to fix it. Mercedes refused saying that the recall was finished and my 2011 was didn’t qualify because the recall only went up to 2010...supposedly, the issue that I had didn’t exist anymore🤪🤪🤪

[@phil4986]

@@rahimi4762 The highest trim Camry is not a bad pick but certainly not what someone who buys a $150 grand Mercedes would buy and that's actually pretty sad because that Toyota would be stylish and reliable and comfortable. The entire Lexus line might be very well made but a blind crack addict is designing the front ends of all their cars. And every year Lexus SUV's have gotten progressively more hideous. I also checked Acura and they no longer sell a large luxury model,they are mostly sport models. Everyone sells a SUV ,but a SUV is not a four door luxury car. The Genesis line has built itself into a very odd time in the car market.They do sell relatively stylish sedan cars at great relative prices.But they do not have the social standing of a Mercedes,BMW or Porsche. BMW's 8 series is more like a sports sedan then a luxury car. The same can be said of the Cadillac CT5 Blackwing sedan. I had not realized that the luxury sedan market had so completely given up on sedans and style. Alot of these cars are simply ugly. The Genesis cars have a sadly generic very appealing beauty to them like they are trying to hide who made them. Porsche makes a great looking Panamerica 4s model but there again,it's a race car four door. Other then the Genesis line of four dorr luxury cars and the Mercedes,who makes a real ( not a sports car ) luxury four door car anymore? In a market like this,I think I would buy a business license with my name on it for cheap and have my business lease me out a $150000 luxury car for two years and just accept the bite,writing the expense off on my taxes. Or,just buy the best Toyota four door sedan I could buy. Because Dear Lord those Lexus's are all hideous looking. I mean consistently hideous looking. I have seen a 2021 Acura ILX four door that was absolutely beautiful in deep red but that's not a four door luxury car. That's a sports sedan. But that was a gorgeous car unlike every other Lexus made today. So this is way tougher then I thought it would be. Everybody wants to sell you a truck or a race car. Great question,Mr. Farmer.

In my opinion, these brands make every newer model less and less reliable because they've already built the name for themselves so they'll get clients regardless & the more it breaks = the more money they make.

Had a cousin with a BMW 3 series. It looked nice, but it crapped out within 2 years and sat in his parents driveway for ten! Think he drives a Honda now, and so do my aunt and uncle! Their cars still run and they've never had to service them for any problems!

Watching Scotty accelerate in a Tesla saying “give it gas” is a new core memory for me. 😂

[@metalmike570]

That last car.... The Germans are crazy; ridiculous technology but because it was made in the USA it has too many glitches. hell no!!!

[@TheMitchyevans]

Common theme: focus on technology means expensive cars and expensive repairs. 1. BMW - too much plastic 2. Tesla - rough ride for luxury car, display location is wrong and you must look away from the road 3. Mercedes - too complex, and repair or even maintenance like tires is outrageously expensive

One reason why I hate driving behind a Tesla I can never tell when they're braking. There's a reason why cops give tickets for taillights being out, they're road hazards if no one can tell when you're braking. They're likely to be rear ended.

It was then that I knew I was screwed. Apparently it costed him $8,000 to repair the little smudge on his bumper because not only was he an attorney so he nailed me but apparently he had a crazy custom paint job as well.

AWD only... So it turns out that the cable running to the motor that powers rear axle is corroding and needs replacing, it's a roughly $3,000 repair. Models effected 2019 - 2021 build in CANADA. Memo also mentions USA but I didn't know they made RAV4 in USA.

I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, which is really a Tercel, with no issues, leaks, etc. I had a 10 year old Volvo. Smooth drive, nice smooth engine, but requiring high octane fuel, and with an oil drip. $900 to replace the dripping gasket, which again leaked 3 months later.

[@robertp7209]

That’s why I only lease, 2017 X3, 2019 X5, 2022 X5. The inline 6 with 8 speed auto is some sweet power train. And yes, it has the highest depreciation around, however that occurs big time as the warranty ends. I would never buy one new or used. But you can buy extended warranties when new. Once the CANbus design took over in the 90s, forget it. When I started out young in my college days, all I could afford was a $500 car and learned how to fix it.
