Some of the vehicles you showed had over 120k miles on them so that's not really a fair representation of the average rate of depreciation.

[@OhMyDaysRecords]

I bought a 5.0SC Autobiography at 1/3 MSRP with only 40k miles and at 80k miles you’ll get the « usual » issues that cars will have and obviously it’ll cost more expensive than a 60k MSRP car but it’s still cheaper than most German brands to repair and maintain. They chose to show a diesel model with 120k miles which is obviously an awful financial decision 😂 You miss out on the V8 pleasure, still have the luxury costs and have a car that’s going to have constant high mileage issues… But he is right saying that they depreciate like crazy!

[@elnewbie2611]

Problem is the moment any big ytb talks about them, next 3 days they go up 3k in price, it's really crazy.

[@alfredsnyder329]

Why do all the car examples used as "cheap" car prices not point out the fact they have super high mileage? Thats like like the #1 reason a "deal" was found...

[@dragbug100]

I was screaming the same thing every time.

[@HowItFailed-]

This dudes video deserves a 👎. No one wants a $150k car with 125k miles...

[@thelucasstorm]

Exactly, this video is so dumb

[@HamzaSuliman-wb2wg]

Quality relatable content

[@Evanseerp]

Just picked up a second generation MDX for a little over 10K. Its one of the best SUVs I've driven.

[@MrAlvarez23]

Nice

[@danielmelendez9943]

I highly recommend MdX 2011 with SH-AWD, amazing SUV, plenty of power 300HP and torque vectoring kick ass. My car has 110k miles and no issue.

[@danielmelendez9943]

I am currently having to replace new tires, shocks and i should be good for a good while. Since i did my 100K mikes tune up, belts, radiator flush and water pump replacement. Most people i know have same year car with 150K miles and basic maintenance. The advance model has an issue with the adaptive dampers, to replace them it’s ridiculously expensive. I have the base model, we use the car for long drives with the family

[@derekhayter4879]

Try driving and owning for a few years, then come back.

[@Evanseerp]

@@derekhayter4879 you're absolutely right, that's the true test.

[@the-ironclad]

Those prices aren’t just from depreciation, it’s also factored in that most of those car prices had over 100k miles on it. No shit it’s gonna depreciate when it’s been driven for that long 🤯

[@pastperformance2285]

While others are puzzled about what ev’s to buy and where do I charge it? I’m able to buy a tried and true luxury suv at heavily discounted prices. Gonna take this shopping list and buy something special for a fall road-trip.

[@gustavobarrera4415]

Well of course they lost so much value they all have way over 100k miles on it. It's still a lot of money for some with 150k miles on it. Rather wait for them to lose another 30 percent by December

[@pandamilkshake]

Its not about how much they cost to buy, it's how much they cost to run. Not everybody is careful with their luxury cars either since, people who have big money usually use them s we would use our regular grocery-getters. It's a BIG risk.

[@blerst7066]

Don't forget about insurance too. Insurances for sporty vehicles like the X6M can be costly.

[@R19Robbin]

X6M has amazing performance for an SUV 👌

[@Atem_S.]

I was always a fan of the MDX.. Gorgeous Suv, looks classy and no need to empty your bank account to roll I style. But my choice is the X6M. I barely see them on the roads and they look sick.

[@edmondhiro]

Surprised X5 is not on the list

[@alexwk9830]

You sir are a lifesaver!

[@raymarcable1292]

Not considering mileage is insane

[@marco30599]

Exactly, almost every example had well over 130k miles 😭😭

[@thedonutmiata5135]

The saving grace for the QX80 is how comfortable they are on the inside. They may not look great, but damn are they nice to sit in. I don’t own one, but I used to take pics at dealerships and if there was a QX80 on the list I’d save it till the end of the day so I could rest a little in it.

[@kuebby]

I really like how the modern QX80 and Armada, it's a nice square vehicle, especially now that the full size Land Cruiser is gone. The bumpers on the QX aren't great for off-roading, but that's not really the point I suppose.

[@alfredsnyder329]

I have a QX60 and the one catch depending on the years is that they have ZERO combability with Android phones

[@AristeidisPappas]

The volvo supriesed me couse my father has a volvo v70 with the 1.6 TDI, with 303,000km (188.275 miles), and its value has dropped only one thousandth from the initial price we got it 7 years ago for €18,000

[@toddaulner5393]

That Infinity needs the headlights to be bigger. That would help alot!

[@matthewgateoperators2406]

I recently got a low mileage glc63s for 50k. It's an awesome SUV, it was the fastest SUV around the Nurburgring at one point (still #3) and rides much smoother than the x3m and has a better sounding engine.

[@drew8324]

The X3 is not comparable to GLC you need the x4

[@matthewgateoperators2406]

@drew8324 I understand the X4 is the coupe (like the glc 63s). Honestly, I just ended up with the coupe (s) instead of the non coupe (glc 63 non s) because I found one for a great deal. I test drove them all. Mercedes has a better interior, better speakers (Burmeister), and the twin-turbo V8 (better-sounding engine). BMW seems more track-focused but we're talking about an SUV here. My experience with Mercedes dealers is they give you much better treatment. Free car washes very polite it's just a higher-quality customer service. Also really cool about Mercedes is they devalue so hard. Pick up a used Mercedes that's 3-4 years old and you can find them for 50-75% off sticker. I have fallen in love with this brand.

[@matthewgateoperators2406]

@drew8324 The driving dynamics between the X3 and X4 are the same: same drivetrain, same suspension. One just has a slightly lower center of gravity

[@Traderbear]

I had the leather dash completely fail in my 2018 S90. $6k repair. I sold it before it was too bad.

[@trungpham9763]

Can u do a 🎥on the best suv w/t gas mileage?

[@kingjahfee1]

MDX is very popular in NYC.

[@mikeerin5031]

Volvo’s saving grace is the fact that you can get them CPO with a 10 yr unlimited mile warranty.

[@Chrisjones-qi5xq]

The qx 80 is the best lookin suv on the road its not a ugly truck

[@joseanibalrobles8319]

The MDX did surprise me, not the others

[@Dessertfox83]

With RR, the diesels are the ones with the crazy problems, but he is correct, they drive amazing but many small problems.

[@Jeff_C.]

People buying luxury SUVs never consider the depreciation! Go for something like Toyota or Honda when you think depreciation is a thing.

[@aliazm968]

You forgot to mention the lx570

[@Graves-81_69]

I’ve been around several Land Rovers and I can say with confidence that I’ll never waste my money on on. There’s nothing there to justify owning one

[@seriousbutfunny2]

Those high mileage would keep me away even at 40-60% off. I've only had one new car in my life and that was my first car right out of college. If I have to have a car, then I buy preowned. We bought a used Lexus RX for $10,000. And one year later we sold it for....drum roll please... $10,000. Get a good used car at a great price and you can prevent pissing most of your hard earned money away. Maybe you can do a video on the depreciation % of quality used cars. Thanks.

[@CbusRon]

Cadillac Escalades are always for sale at reasonable prices I wouldn’t ever buy one new! You can buy 4 used for the price of one new.

[@rcampbell4967]

Buying an old premium car or SUV seems like a really bad idea. If you can't afford a $500 battery or $3,000 brake job, the car will be in the garage more than on the street.

[@vivinv.7292]

What about the Cayenne??

[@pmb6287]

These cars make me look like a Princess on Cinderella’s budget

[@ULXB258]

People comparing the prices of juice and gas but if it comes to a car it‘s normal to buy a new one with plenty of extras

[@quaranjones2359]

One common theme I see here is the expected reliability you’re going to have to pay for contributing to the decline in depreciation……(this excuses the QX80, which is decently reliable)

[@marcelrodriguez2067]

You will never see a lexus in this list and thats a VERY good thing. Reliability is king baby.

[@jclar3565]

AMG G Wagon keeps going up and up

[@Tea_Eddie]

I know this is unrelated, but can you recommend cars or SUVs for tall people please?

[@BrandonAnderson-tp4oq]

How tall are you? Cuz I'm 6'3 250 (which I get isn't really "tall" 😅) and I love my mini cooper countryman. Surprisingly lots of room and isn't a giant ass car haha. Or my ford taurus sho! Big ass sedan, 365hp awd with everything lux u can think of haha and I still have tons of room to scoot my seat back. And my buddy( 6'5 300+) can fit in the back seat comfortably 🤷‍♂️ just acouple suggestions I have haha. My buddy drives a ls400 and lx470 lexus' for his big boy cars haha

[@Tchild2]

These cars may have considerably depreciated after five years, but more than the price, what will be the service costs? How much does it cost to service a Bentley after five years of wear and tear and maybe needing major repairs?

[@DaWorldSoSmall]

I'll take the MDX 3rd Gen. It's a beautifully refined SUV with all the luxuries. Reliable and easy to maintained. Super-Handlings AWD. And ..and ...3rd Row Seating!!! Best value for the money!

[@marco30599]

Same! I’m trying to understand why he said no one talks about the MDX positively when I see people talking about it a lot and in my area many people drive 2017-2023 Acura MDXs from Tech, to A-Spec, and even a handful of MDX Type-S models definitely a popular SUV where I live

[@gangatalishis]

The milage on all the example do not justify the costs. I can’t fathom spending 30k for a car with 100k miles, I’d rather get a new economy car with warranty.

[@martintokinaga5261]

The XC90 recharge has 450hp. This is not slow for today.

[@justinperalta6280]

I will get the Acura MDX

[@mikefraley6935]

Most of the examples here had well over 100k miles on the odometer, so unless you want to look at it in your driveway, then no. But, If you could get a luxury SUV with less than 60k miles, then perhaps - unless... it's a Mercedes, Range Rover, Bentley, Volvo, BMW or Tesla. That really only leaves the Infiniti (ugg), Cadillac (cheap interior), or Acura (boring). Thanks for the info?

[@johncolisao2274]

much appreciate the info. also, first to comment! yessuhhh

[@JayR305TheChosenOne]

Any used car above 20k+ it’s still a expensive car to buy unless you making 20k a month anything is cheap for you

I hope one of Volvo XC90/BMW X6 M/Mercedes-Benz GLS will be mine one day.

Don’t get me wrong I like Bentley interior a little better bc I feel like it’s more up to date than RR but seeing them in person . That RR makes that Bentley looks like a small toy car lol .
