Hey man, checkout the vw Touareg, the most underrated suv, the 1st gen has the engine options, a vr6, which rarely comes with air suspension and is the slowest, the v8, which is the most recommended, being that it has air suspension, and it’s very robust, and lastly, a twin turbo v10 diesel, which is a maintenance disaster, if you want the best luxury sleeper suv, go with a vw Touareg v8, and don’t forget it’s the best German off roader.
@@jaybomb5022 I had two e46 330i. First one was an automatic and the second one was 6spd zhp. The first one I had was very problematic. headlights reflector bowls, front control arm bushings, rear control arm bushings, all four struts, windows regulators, sunroof, headliner, A and C pillars, entire cooling system, vacuum leak, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator/filter, automatic headlight/rain sensor, tail light ground issue, all the gaskets were leaking including oil pan gasket (PIA job), and I think there were some more, but literally I can still remember so many top of my head. I only had zhp for like 20k miles and I only had to do the cooling system overhaul and it was fine (it only had 100k miles when I sold it).
Nah, cus every time these videos release all the cars go up about 5k, so the last video's car's go up about 2.5k, and the video before that has the videos at the price advertised lol. Car sales are for sharks, car community wants money not new drivers hahaha
Recently bought a 2013 Hyundai Equus for 7500 bucks. The 5.0 turns out 492 HP and it will fly. Luxury is beyond compare . It has 150 K miles but sure feels great.
I had one as well and it was ready. Only reason I sold it was because I missed having a manual so I got the same year loads s4 with the same engine and a 6MT. Stout engines
Quality Hi-Per-Lux vehicles don’t always come with care and feeding instructions, but thoughtful maintenance certainly pays dividends. Like, driving experience!
They can be fixed though, the engines themselves are rock solid and virtually last forever if taken care of. I came across on a forum with a person driving an E46 323i with over 800k miles on the clock, no engine rebuild, in the midwest, where rust is a big issue!
@@samfisher2141 i liked the look of the injen intake, if i recall correctly it has some kind of dual-chamber design that looked rather promising. HLP also has some carbon fiber intakes that are really really cool, idk how much they cost though. Go for a cold air intake that removes the entire stock airbox assembly and takes in air from behind the bumper/quarter panel area. Short ram is hot air. less dense. burns worse.
@603adventures9 They are reliable, but you'll have at least a few problems with a 21 year old BMW. The only thing I've had to replace is my alternator so far. Its most prevalent issues are the cooling system, subframe, vanos leaks, and oil leaks... none of which have affected my car yet.
How u gonna talk about the issues of the 3.0T and not mention the timing chain guides? My Q7 sounds like a chainsaw on start up and it's typically a $3k engine out job 💰
I agree with the A6 C7. I have a 2012 with 100k and it has been solid. I like it for its size, looks, features, refinements and overall value. It's the sweet spot between the cheaper (quality), smaller A4 and bigger, more complicated A8. Also, the supercharged V6 engine is a gem.
To any first time car buyers that click on this video. Or at least ppl who don’t know about cars. Yes this video was MADE for you. The title is an anecdote. There is no such thing as cheap/reliable/luxury car. In real life you can only choose two out of the three. Bottom line is in the end, all used cars with high mileage will need maintenance. And if you rely off someone else like a mechanic to keep up with your car, you’re better off buying something cheap and reliable and not a luxury car that might be more expensive to maintain than you thought. Last piece of advice. When Buying a heavily depreciated sports or luxury car. You are not maintaining what you paid ie. 10-20k car. You are maintaining a 30-100k car (when the car came out new) (depends what brands but biggest depreciation brand that comes the mind is Mercedes) so parts and labor will cost an arm and a leg. If you plan to buy a cheap luxury car BEST piece of advice is do ALL the maintenance yourself and ALREADY have a separate dependable car for when it breaks down and or you’re servicing the vehicle.
@@dennisnavarro6101 both of those are great brands but I was not say best bang for your buck in terms of (interiors) imo.

Finally, I don't think too many first-time car buyers are buying late-model euro cars unless someone else is paying for the maintenance and insurance.
I have a 2004 Infiniti g35 rwd sedan 3.5 vq35de v6 easily hitting over 250,000 miles I only had to get recent oil change and tire it cranks and runs each and every time can’t go wrong with a japan made car👏🏾💪🏾
Im almost 16 and am really into 90s and 2000s jdm and am really liking the Mitsubishi Eclipse but im not sure if i should get it because im not sure if its reliable, and i dont know to work on cars if it were to break down. Any tips on if i should get an eclipse or a different car?
All Japanese cars are more liable than European and American cars, but it is also case by case. If the car had regular oil change and no abuse, you can buy the Eclipse. It is good looking afterall.
Yeah Tim, S80 is underrated. Let us have em. My P2 chassy still looks great after 2+ decades and heck its still running the the same engine and automatic transmission. I have yet to see something beat swedish steel on wheels.

Ask yourself how many 10 year old and older Audi you see on the road. They’re rare to non existent. Electronics fail in ways that never cease to amaze me. They’re great cars for the short time they live. Don’t ever open your sunroof unless you’re a minute from home. Nothing like trying to close one that quit when you’re many miles from home. Same with power windows and anything on the car that is electrically powered. To put an Audi on a list of reliable cars is tff. 😂 Save yourself the trouble and avoid German cars.
The problem with the Genesis is that it is still a Hyundai. It routinely shows up on the incredibly numerous recalls. The Equus would be a better choice.
That genesis must have been a lemon, you will not find that model under 10k relatively anywhere unless something major is wrong with it previous gen you can find all day… I can't believe he had the audacity to mention the 5.0 for under 10k 😂
@@loe6424 No I bought it in April 2020 when everything was first shutdown. The guy was very glad to have someone local show interest.

@@dennisnavarro6101 Oh ok, that makes more sense, it definitely pays to know how to work on your own vehicle in the long run… Still a great deal and a lot of car for the money, you won that exchange.
None of these cars are good at around $10k, or even less, most have been out of Warranty for more than 10 years, and expensive repairs are just around the corner, and very old tech.
........and reliable engines alone do not make for a reliable experience.......German beauties can dime and quarter (well beyond Nickel and Dime) to death whenever those warning lights come on.....
Have you ever have a6 3.0? or maybe cayenne? Why did you put them up there? Nothing about reliability, money pit, compere to these e46/39 10 times more reliable and they are full of expansive troubles. The only things that reliable in this topic is Lexus. + Check market, you can get newer models for 10k

The Audi A6 3.0T does NOT stand for turbo its actually supercharged and idk why audi does that. C7 A6 and A7 are great picks!
Lol I've heard it's because the gut who designed the engine had a speech problem and couldn't say supercharger so he said tupercharger
My guess is that Audi already uses S elsewhere and didn't want to muddle up its traditional meaning.
The "T" is the same in or short for the acronym TFSI, which adds force induction via turbo/supercharger to their FSI (gas direct injection) engines.
No way you just placed Cayenne in cheap and reliable list. This thing costs a ton to maintain and breaks down on every occasion
I have one no problems actually haha
About time I get to see my ES finally make the list
The A6 3.0T has a supercharged V6, not a turbo until the 2018 model.
here to remind you that the Audi 3.0 is a supercharged engine for those years.
Which means? More problems? More reliable? Expensive maintenance?
