Avoid These JUNK Cars That Could End Up Costing You BIG Time!

Massive depreciation, brutal reliability, and junk cars are displayed in our video this week. These are my opinions, but they're backed up with lots of research and facts about the cars. We'll walk through some of the technical details of how these are built and what's in them, but we'll also talk about why you might find your bank account being drained by these junk cars.
In my opinion, these are the worst cars to buy in a lot of ways. Avoid these cars!

He was speaking straight facts on the depreciation of the 7 series. Imagine financing a vehicle that costs 100,000 dollars and then 2 years later try to trade it in only to be told your vehicle is only worth 40,000 and you have the pay off all the negative equity in order to get into another vehicle damn that’s crazy

[@ECPP]

Thank you

[@Sabretooth-gz7pp]

​@@ECPPYou mentioned Toyota, Lexus , Honda and You can probably put Acura there as well. Very Good Cars from very Reputable Companies but the way car prices are right now and that includes interest rates, the average person can't afford them. How about Cars that the average person can afford and can last a long time without any costly issues.

Research is important. I would only short term lease a Bmw.

[@patrickchubey3127]

The first gasoline powered car was built 138 freakin years ago, so reliability issues are absolutely UNNACCEPTABLE in this day and age. Any automaker who puts out an unreliable car should be boycotted out of existence.

[@Blue-moon12]

Wow. You hardly drive it!

[@genes.3285]

@@Blue-moon12 That's true, but it has been 10 years and four months. If something major were to happen today, I wouldn't regret buying it. But as far as the problems shown (coolant leak, oil leak, sagging door, broken grill, etc.) nothing at all has happened. My wife and I have had three other GM products, a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE and two Saturns (a 93 or 94 SW2 and a 2002 SC2). I think if you take care of the vehicles, they're worth the money. If you drive like a race car driver and don't regularly change the oil, then that's something else. The Pontiac was supposed to be a piece of junk. The only problem I had was at the end when there was a problem with the key, which I could have had fixed. I had that car for 12 years.

[@williamoneal2763]

I have 2001 Chevy Malibu with 185,000 miles. Have had few problems, but I really maintain it very well..even over maintain it. I do indeed baby it. ❤ Looks new..all original. Hope it keeps on keeping on. But I will not buy any new GM product made today. 😂 I do all my own work on car.

[@gma729]

Consider yourself lucky ! My x gf had one, and like yours it was a good car for her, i use to rip on it and she defended it. Until she hit around 60,000 mi. Then problems problems problems, she drives a Camry now. Lol. 🤷‍♂️

[@Marz78963]

I had a 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ that I bought brand new when it came out. Put 158k miles on it and the only problem I ever had was at 110k miles the valve cover gasket needed to be changed as it was starting to leak oil. Was a simple easy job to do. And I had to upgrade the brake rotors as they warped on the first trip to the mountains in the car. Outside of that it was reliable provided you take care of the car. Keep up with maintenance. The downside though is well I hated the car lol. Was the most uncomfortable cheaply made car I've ever driven. Everything will rattle. If you are on a 8+ hour road trip your lower back and hips will hate you. I have a 2014 Mercedes E350 coupe now that has been rock solid and much more comfortable on trips, still gets 30mpg, although premium fuel costs, and has been reliable. It's now at 128k miles and still trucking. That is probably one thing I would advise on anyone buying Mercedes. Buy one that uses a NA engine. Turbos / supercharges just adds more wear and tear. Unless you have deeper pockets to cover those kind of expenses.

[@ericsivilla4091]

I just sold my Dodge Challenger 6.4 Shaker 57 of 70 aniversery fully speced. Drag pack, performance pack in Gold Rush color with Matt hood, roof trunck, and tail. At 28k my water pump leaked. At 47k the infamous hemi tick, mis fiers on cylinder 6 due to coil pack, and spark plug. Both my window actuators went out 3 times, my defrost went out wich requires running wires from front to trunk. All under warrenty. My water pump went out again at 48k.... I've had other chargers and Challengers with no issues, but from 2020 and up there are major issues even the high trims, andbi have friends with the same issues.

[@PILULE-ow9sk]

Jeez thats more problems than I have on my 5 chargers/challenger, unlucky you! And that sucks since it was the anniversary edition

[@ericsivilla4091]

@PILULE-ow9sk Yup I really love that car and wanted to keep it as my weekend toy. I've had a few friends with same problems and a KZbin I follow, I belive its OC Modivator. He got a new 6.4 Swinger edition. I dunno what Didge us doing, not sure if it's subpar parts or just slapping them together. All Aniversery were built in Canada which shocked me. What do you feel is the most reliable year and model. I hear the 6.1 are pretty stout.

[@PILULE-ow9sk]

@@ericsivilla4091 yesh the factory is in Brampton,Ontario. All charger and challengers were made there. And that sucks didn't know quality recently went down the drain. Got a widebody shaker and its been good so far... got 2 chargers RT awd, a 2008 and 2014 and they've been incredible cars too

[@ericsivilla4091]

@PILULE-ow9sk how manny miles in your cars ? Perhaps not everyone is having these issues, and while Doge just like other car manufactures are not with out issues and there was always the hemi tick thing affecting 3 to 5% of engines I believe, while I have no real proof other than KZbin and locals in my area, there seems to be an increase in issues and not just the hemi tick. Window actuators is a popular I be as well as the cooling system. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones, so don't worry, and enjoy your car. Hope you got ones. They are fun cars.

[@PILULE-ow9sk]

@@ericsivilla4091 my 2008 rt awd has 215km, only changed the waterpump. My 2014 rt awd has 250. Changed the alternator and tie rod ends. Challenger only has 30km so its husle free lol... I also had a 2009 3.5 with about 190km and I never changed anything in that one it was bulletproof until a buck crashed into it...

The Mitsubishi Mirage really shouldn't be on that list. "Doors that fall off" anecdotes isn't exactly what I would call a technical analysis of the car. I had a 2019 and I can tell you when I hit that deer at 70mph on the Garden State Parkway last year in November the driver airbag deployed as well as the knee airbag. The car fell apart but it's supposed to do that to absorb the energy and I walked away. Is it loaded with cheap plastics from the Mattel toy aisle? Yes. Is it the slowest gasoline powered production car in the market today? Probably. But I have to tell you I had my Mirage for two years, crashed it with 33k miles and the car never had rattles or squeaks. They make these in Thailand and sell the 💩 out of them there and in the Philippines. Fuel economy isn't spectacular for a 3 cylinder, you get 30-40mph depending on the conditions. But I would recommend this car to anyone who doesn't have a lot of money and is looking to get it new with that 10/100k powertrain warranty. You just need to +1 or +2 the tires and that's really it.

[@subaruamazon]

just, hudson county here. I always drive to the shore on that road. I concur mitsubushi's are japanese and are reliable. I have not heard bad about them. I went with a camry.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

@@subaruamazon I don't think that it's a question of reliability as much as it is build quality and materials quality. Mitsubishi for sure cuts corners and assembles things in a low quality way, however I think they focused more on powertrain reliability and a lot less on fit and finish. That's the path they've decided to go, love it or hate it. If you sit inside and modern Mitsubishi and you start to push in on interior panels as well as exterior panels you'll notice the panels have a lot of give and they squeak, creak or rub against another panel when pushed in, however when you're going down the road the vehicle is otherwise quiet, it's like a David Copperfield trick or something. I just leased a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for 2 years and even the Outlander, Mitsubishi's flagship vehicle here in the states, has the same panel issue. Even the seats only have the synthetic leather covering only the parts of the seat that you see and feel, the outboard portion of the front seats are wrapped in synthetic leather but not the inboard portion 😆.

[@subaruamazon]

@@justacinnamonbun8658 whatever works for you. Mitsubishi's are off the beaten path but I havent heard problems with their reliability. to the contrary. Where on gsp did this happen? I miss the shore. have to wait till next year. I took a trip down to AC in the afternoon and there were so many deer in the southern GSP unbelievable.

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

@@subaruamazon I know Hudson County very well... back when Bruce Walter was mayor of Union City, then Menendez became mayor and then I guess Rudy/Brian Stack came behind. I know a lot about the corruption up there 😆. I've been in Middlesex County now for 17 years. I was on my way to see Scotty Kilmer in Rhode Island, he was going to review the Mirage. I hit the deer about an hour into the four hour trip, I was up in the Woodcliff Lake area. I didn't have any time to react, the cruise control was on and all I saw was my windshield shattered and the airbag popped out, I never saw the deer at all, it all happened in one literal second. Up there the GSP has only 2 lanes, I was in the right lane taking my time, I was ahead of schedule to see Scotty, the Mirage scooped up the buck and flung him over the left lane and he landed in the grassy median.

I love your videos man! All of them. Great channel. Had a brand new V6 AWD Charger for a 2 week road trip NY to Alabama. Flawless ride. I loved that car and have always loved how they look. I want one. Went and test drove a used one with V8 just to get a feel for it. Last V8’s I’m thinking but that does concern me. Been waiting for this video though. Figuring I’ll trade in my VW GTI 6 speed manual. Wife says to me kinda yelling 🤣🤣😂 “Why would you trade your quality vehicle for a piece of junk!” I explained the V8 ending and America and muscle cars etc. I can’t afford Hellcat or Demon. I need daily driver too that’s gonna run in the snow and 250-300K or at least 10 years. I guess the Charger ain’t it. 🤣🤣🤣 It’s just that sometimes you need power to gap fools on the road of which there are many nowadays. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the advice and great videos. Merry Christmas! 🤙🏾👊🏽😎

[@ECPP]

Thanks very much and great choice on cars. We have always owned Golfs as well over the years and love the way they drive, practical as well. The Charger's are the ones I actually looked at a couple of years ago too as I prefer that body over the Challenger and the V8 is a great punchy unit. The Demon is mesmerizing, but a big price to pay for power that will only be used fro time to time. With that said, I also was a little less than dazzled over the interior material quality as well as fit and finish, and I would say the VW has a more stapled together feel than the Dodge for sure. The Dodge is the way, if you want big V8 sound and punch but there is a tradeoff indeed and as long as a person is good with that, either will work. Hope you also have a very Merry Christmas. See you on the other side of 2023. Cheers.

[@richarddespres8011]

If you can afford the maintenance on a V8 Charger go to the Jaaaaggggg XFR. You can still convince yourself it's worth it while you get the run of nickel and dime repairs done that way. That's my dream for my first, and probably last, sporty V8 anyway.

The Mazda wins big time in the comfort and appearance dept. Ive had several Frontiers and a 2016 Altima 3.5 SR which was a fun car but suddenly developed a strange loss of coolant issue. It wasnt leaking, nor was it mixing anywhere. And of course Nissan couldnt find the issue. That car was traded for Frontier #2. Anyway, what are your thoughts on Mazda vs Nissan reliability?

The more i watch your videos Mark, the more i am glad that my car is Japanese excluding the Mitsubishi and Nissan in your video.😀

Haha indeed. While there are some great drivers cars that lack reliability, a sling as a person is aware of what they are getting into that’s Ok

you mean those those stupid car commercials lies?? and its all bullshit;just plastic junk? aahhhh!! thank you for the truth for a change!!🙂🙂🙂

I don't like the new Charger but you have your head up your a$$ about the interior. The seats are really comfortable. My Challenger has 116K on it and runs really well and I've done the regular maintenance work myself.

Having a Sunroof on a car is like having a 200lb passenger with you all the time.

[@ECPP]

That’s fair

[@RomanM803]

It’s a 3000lb car a sunroof wouldn’t make a difference in performance in your base 330i.

Also, do not buy the newer, Chrysler Pacifica minivan (gas or hybrid) or the Nissan Qashqai, as well. Thank you very much.

[@ECPP]

You are right about that.

[@marcmcphee]

Nice to see the usual culprits for junk. Some things never change 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It baffles my mind that some manufacturers have existed for almost 100 years and still can’t make something that isn’t dog 💩.

[@AvengerAngel]

In summation, avoid European (German, Italian, British, Swedish) and American cars.

[@ECPP]

Nice

[@subaruamazon]

07 camry 145k. I think there are three good cars - toyota, honda and mazda. did subaru fix their blown head gasket problem? for that alone I would shy away from subaru and my family and a 94 legacy with 204k miles.

[@kerrisacameron3723]

Sorry people I hate all dodge cars. I am not a big fan of American cars lol

[@BruceAnca-wq5oi]

I call BS on the Charger,or Chrysler LX platform. Transmissions being junk yet it's a ZF 8 speed which is probably the best automatic on the market. Thermostats failing? All cars will eventually need a thermostat. Along with an alternator. If you want to talk about stuff that's actually junk,this list should have any GM vehicle with a stretched timing chain 3.6, anything Korean with a direct injection 4 cylinder,GM trucks with the atrocious 6L80E and displacement on demand motors,Ford Eco boom 4 cylinders. To list a Charger on here is just plain stupid.

Some of the Jaguars are manufactured in the UK.

[@richarddespres8011]

Good thing the XJL is no longer in production, and you can buy a late model of one for a significant discount from new. That Chrysler 200 is a nightmare to drive based on my rental experience for sure. I'd stay as far away from anything Stelantis as you possibly can. They are pretty much guaranteed to burn your wallet. Speaking of burn my wallet, the 7 Series looks amazing, but they come with that awesome exploding V8 90%of the time, which makes you have to fight your lizard brain, which wants the styling. I wonder what that electric version of the 7 series would be like to look after, though.

[@ECPP]

That is all bang on the money

[@trevorsutherland5263]

Give me the worst one new and I bet it runs flawlessly for 7 years and 100K miles for me. 😅 I seem to specialize in making "unreliable" cars reliable. 2012 Buick Enclave with the 3.6: 155K miles, only water pump, alternator, AC compressor replaced. 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged: 107K miles, water pump, engine fan replaced. 2017 Alfa Giulia Ti: 85K miles, AC compressor replaced. Just got 2022 Audi A4 last year: 29K miles under warranty. 😂

I owned a 2000 Jag XJR for ten years. Very few problems and fun to drive.

[@2steaksandwiches665]

Here’s what you do. Own a car long enough that you don’t care about depreciation because you know when you go to sell it it’ll be worth $1000 anyway. I paid $43,000 for a Volvo 12 years ago. It’s worth about three grand. I’ll drive it for another few years.

[@mypronouniswtf5559]

Charger is a solid reliable car....The Chrysler 300 is Consumer Reports most reliable car and its the exact same as the Charger,just different body style...Those seats are very comfortable!! Better than most cars with hard seats you die after 10 minutes of driving! Lots of the issues you mention were from the 05-10 the 11-23 are well built solid cars...I put 185,000 miles on mine with zero issues...We owned several others,including a 2018 Hellcat Challenger (still own)but the 185,000 mile car was a 5.7 Hemi zero issues...I have a few family members with the 3.6 and one has 110,000 miles with no issues.. I was a certified Toyota Tech from 1993-2013 when I retired before I turned 40..These 2011-up Charger/Challenger/300 have fewer issues than a lot of Toyota products! Yes I owned Toyota products as I worked for them but being 6'4 the Chrysler L series cars are the most comfortable and even reliable cars I could buy...The seats are even more comfortable than any truck by any manufacturer around! Resale value is high on used L series cars but like anything a bad economy will sink any car..I bought many new Chrysler vehicles as the owner of my dealer I worked for he had a Toyota,Lexus and Chrysler dealer,so he didnt get pissed I didnt only buy a Toyota lol

[@2steaksandwiches665]

Most of the cars here you showed have character. If you’re OK with buying a reliable appliance, that’s fine. I will give up reliability for some sort of character. This is why I own an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. I’ve had it five years and haven’t had a single issue.

[@88jdiesel]

I clicked bcuz of the dodge charger,mine is in the garage for repairs right now for 9890$, I’ve had it for 2 years now,I still love it though,I’ll probably update to a hellcat next year

I'm always surprised these dealers let you film on their lots. Good for us but..

Are you on something? Charger has a bad Transmission? Really? The 8 spd ZF Transmission? Maybe the best transmission in the world. As for other issues have 2 Chargers and fiance had a 300 SRT8 none of those had any of the issues you mentioned. Also the newest Chevy Cruise is 5 years old and the things you showed were owner inflicted. Glad you got your clicks but know nothing about cars. Heck the Mitsubishi Mirage wasn't even built in 2002.

[@drohall]

OG Mirage line ran from '78-'03 and was reintroduced in 2012 so yeah he knows what he talking about😂

[@bikingD]

@@drohall Not the generation he was talking about. The Early Mirages were awesome. Remember the 80's Turbos. Heck the DOHC ones were so cool that I almost bought one back then. He is talking the 3 cyl. Current gen which was not around in 2002.
