I Rated The Reliability of 30 Used Cars! (CAR LOT BLITZ!!!)

Рет қаралды 42,011

3 ай бұрын

Car reliability is one of the most important components of owning a used car. If you buy car lot crap, then you're going to pay for it with your hard earned cash. So today I'm doing a car lot blitz to rate used car reliability and to review used cars. You'll find lots of Lexus cars, as they're some of the most reliable cars you can get today on the used car market!
Enjoy!

To summarize, stick with a Toyota product. Boring you say? Not as boring as sitting in the repair shop waiting room anticipating that high repair bill for your German turd box.

If they keep going, it’s worth its weight in gold as a little basic maintenance is cheap on those but they almost never fail in a big way like a Ford or a Chevy would

Once you lose the desire for high performance a turbo option is no longer needed along with turbo problems. Same goes for a CVT, pay a bit more in fuel costs and buy a conventional proven geared transmission. Remember the more complicated a vehicle is so are the costs of repair. Replacing a screen on the dash is ultra expensive. Sadly car makers no longer make basic vehicles as they lack profit. Buying used is the way to go in most cases.

@ECPP 3 ай бұрын

Good morning Emilio, hope all is well. Yes i agree these nonesense oil service intervals are based on grossly extended practices due to the “free” included maintenance that is often offered so it leaves the dealer adhering to the included service which means less money I out of pocket for them, but this general practice accelerates deterioration of the vehicle. Sadly, by the time it starts to become a problem, warranty has long sailed away.

You highlighted the 3.5 litre V6 from Toyota-Lexus is an absolute gem on all their line up. The rating of Toyotas of 4 stars and 4.5 stars are so accurate. Yes, jury still out on Turbo 4 cylinder engines…Toyota is the only brand that can save the reputation on Turbo engines. Honda, Subaru, Ford and GM absolutely made a disaster out of the Turbo engines….absolutely garbage. I wish and pray that all automotive journalists are as honest as you. Most of them are sold out to corrupt AJAC in Canada. Absolute corruption just like the Trudeau Liberal government in this country.
