5 CHEAP Luxury SUVs That Look Expensive! (UNDER £10,000)

[@thatpeskyswan]

Just a few known issues Ive experienced with all of these vehicles as someone who works in a garage (I'm not a mechanic btw) on the X6 it's sunroof seal and module failure (ECU, abs etc.) On the mercs it's sensors and the air suspension (compressor, bags etc) on the evoque it's just everything (bad headlight wiring, build quality, everything ingenium engine related, fuel injectors, modules, electrical faults, power steering faults) , on the Q7s it's air suspension again and injectors, on the rx450 they're reliable but the services are really, really expensive even from the pov of an independent garage the plugs take well over an hour to do and they're not cheap! Great vid though once again, I remember when you had less than 1k subs JB, well done!

[@derekporter66]

I've been looking at 100k mile plus q7. Worth the risk for 7 8k ?

[@OriginalNutta]

What about 2011/2013 vw touareg? They seem pretty decent

[@CarsWithJB]

Appreciate the extra insight, much appreciated! And glad you’ve been around for the journey 😅

[@EtonieE25]

@Charlie Well done for the post m8 and keeping peeps feet on the ground re pricing n running costs! 👍

[@1real11]

It's such a shame that the rx450 has become so popular due to the ulez compliancy. It used to be possible to pick up a decent pre 2015 model for a good price. Now all that seems to be available is high mileage with dodgy (accident) history.

Great video, I had my Audi Q7 for over 3 years now never gave me any problems I service it every year. drives great has a lot of power when you need it so roomy massive boot I put a private reg on it now feels like a 20k car

[@CarsWithJB]

Unreal - glad it’s served you well!

[@cactus3796]

personally I think the X6 (not the new ones) looks amazing

[@CarsWithJB]

Each to their own! I don’t think it’s a bad looking car at all

[@cactus3796]

@@CarsWithJB yeah- i dont like all the other coupé crossover suvs tho, its only the first gen x6

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Just a reminder of how awesome your channel is and how much work you put into these vids. The quality is exceptional

[@ssc5828]

Thank god i found this! that’s just saved me about 100 hours of research 😂😂

[@lukedaley17]

Fantastic video. I can see myself owning one of these cars soon.

[@CarsWithJB]

Good luck with the hunt!

[@BlackLines]

The wife has a 2008 3.0 TDI Q7 with a stage 1 map to 300bhp - definitely worth considering if you want something that will carry a lot of kids but still be reasonably quick.

[@CarsWithJB]

That’s very decent - bet it pulls!

[@BlackLines]

@BirbTDU 2 years, no issues and it's on 106k.

[@skylinexj100]

Had a first generation Cayenne Turbo. I know the styling was a little iffy, but I adored that car notably the seats and ride. Currently own a very modest and old Toyota hatchback which is more enjoyable to drive around London because it is small and nippy. However, with the traffic in London and extra charges for CZ and ULEZ (plus time wasted on admin), constant talks of pay-per-mile, car ownership has become painful and needlessly expensive. I'm finding that Uber/Bolt etc is overall far cheaper than car ownership when factoring in the cost of vehicle and maintenance. You've touched on it before but would be good to have your opinion on the future of car ownership in major cities. Most people talk about the move to electric but I'm more interested in perspectives on private vehicle ownership.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah I’ve been thinking about doing a video on this at some point soon, especially as someone living in a city with cars - I’ll see what I can do!

[@Kay_Emm_]

I’ve grown up with Land Rovers. I love a Discovery

[@CarsWithJB]

Discos are just so big! But amazingly capable, have also been in one 4x4ing and it was amazing

[@mattgyton7102]

Possibly under 5k?

[@CarsWithJB]

I could definitely do it!

[@LMMLMM-gn9er]

The GL is a surprise

[@RittelinRED]

Evoque is 100% my favorite in this list 🙃

[@sachinshetty4467]

Hello mate, can we have the most for most reliable suv under 10k... love from uk

[@cchrist58]

Nice One ........... Bless

[@pchor125]

My favorite SUV is basically an off-road car which in its new generation pretends to be a SUV. That is Jeep Wrangler.

[@davidajayi6291]

My favourite SUV is Range Rover Discovery Sport

[@alexcoupe.]

I wouldn't mind a first gen Audi Q7, but only if it's got that mad Diesel V12 in it!!!

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah that V12 would be damn cool - sadly quite spenny!

[@morgan1985uk]

Saving the cayenne for the under 5k vid 😉

[@CarsWithJB]

You know it 👀

[@graiggeraldmapfumo3205]

Im looking at importing either an E55 or E63 AMG 2007-08 is it possible to get those around 10k in the Uk

[@mikebond3763]

Porsche Cayenne is my personal fav

[@k.j.falloon8563]

If you buy the land rover you should get a bicycle as a backup because it's going to leave you wishing you had one when it breaks down

[@eddy45686]

I’m assuming most x6 had the n57 engines not m57 which aren’t as reliable. What year did they have M57 until LCI?

[@pwilliams6405]

JB you might only pay $5000 and up for one of these but in the end it will costs you a extra $10,000 in repairs ! Nope they are a landmine and you will be thinking everyday 'Is this day something goes wrong?"

[@michaelloach9461]

Another great vid, thanks. If I reeaally had to buy one for my Wife to do the school run in, I would choose the original. A Range Rover! Then in the unlikely event that she may mount a curb, it will cope with it with ease! Sorry am I being cynical? All the best.........

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha my friend has done the same with his G Wagon, large tyres small rims to minimise curbing opportunities!

[@stuartgillon3628]

Mercedes GL for me please

[@discostu2246]

Really? At todays fuel prices.. You're better off buying cocaine and, running everywhere 👍

[@CarsWithJB]

Loool honestly not wrong

[@pwilliams6405]

LEXUS is the only car I will go near for reliability but the interior is so blinging :(

[@bigsmokemerseysideredynwa4198]

Lambo Urus or G63 G Wagon 👊🏿❤

[@CarsWithJB]

G Wagon for me!

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Land Rover should’ve made an svr évoqué

[@owen9045]

Coil packs? But you said 3.0tdi ahah

[@ApothecaryTerry]

SUVs are stupid for anyone with working hips (with some 7 seat exceptions). Most people are stupid though, so if the aim is to look expensive, the pointlessness of the cars is irrelevant- and people love my car without having a clue about it so I'd be a hypocrite to criticise that aspect of them. That was an overly complicated and philosophical way of saying all the cars on this list will do exactly what the list says ☺ Because they depreciate so well, some of these actually seem good options for luxury at that price too, if not fun. Ignoring running costs, the GL might be my favourite. Edit: Lexus did have a diesel engine- I had one in my IS220d, just an Avensis engine. It pulled well and sounded less awful than most (good turbo whine) but didn't suit Lexus really.

[@CarsWithJB]

😅 I think you’re correct, but definitely an interesting way of putting it - I’ve never valued cars looking expensive, but I know it’s desirable so gotta give people the option! Re the Lexus - fair point, hadn’t considered the IS’s block

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@CarsWithJB Hadn't considered the IS's block- nor should you! ☺

[@cartradediary6131]

You can't be serious with the X6, everyone i know with, and i mean everyone that had x5/6 they had horrible issues with them, mechanical failures, very expensive, endless money pits, also the X6 is terribly unpractical, just a little bit roomey than a nissan juke. And you completely leaving out the most reliable and practical SUV there, which is the Volvo XC90, also the most safe car in the world, I enjoy your videos but this one feels a bit biased..

[@curtisj2165]

Don't have a favourite SUV, don't like them

[@santiago3978]

We need a new intro 🥺

[@boss_vision65]

G-Wagen fan here as well. It just has a presence. Doesn't matter what engine is in it really. Used to be a Range Rover fan as well, but their horrid reliability turned me off. As much as I love the G-Wagen, I've developed a love for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. OMG what a design!!! Ideally the Quadrifoglio is the preferred option. The Q3 & Q5, esp the latter, are awesome. But while I prefer the current Q3, the older Q5 is better looking and much more flowing than the current.

[@barricadeish]

Lexus

[@EtonieE25]

I’d say if you want reliability stay away from any RR product like a virulent STD 🤔

[@CarsWithJB]

Agree (generally) with the above

[@JP-cu2gm]

My favourite suv? None of them. Also the X6 is the ugliest automobile ever conceived.

[@jeh1333]

The Nissan Juke takes some beating as a contender in the ugly car stakes!

[@JP-cu2gm]

@@jeh1333 it looks like it has taken a beating alright

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah I’ve got to agree re the Juke!

[@daryldaniels4860]

For me an estate and a SUV is essentially the same thing. SUV just sits higher generally.

[@CarsWithJB]

I think of an estate like a saloon with a big butt 👀
