@@tyshwan1 : Reportedly the General Motors subsidiary Buick is one of the most reliable vehicles on sale and I'm puzzled to the reason why Vauxhall and Saab were sold in the UK, instead of the American car. Some people definitely state that Vauxhall/Opel is a Buick dressed in "different clothing"!.
the Phaeton is cheap becouse people are snobs and need a brand. I had one for 2 years now and spent under 1000 euros on repairs. I do not use the VW service but I have a good mecanic. The car is a dream, I feel special every day driveing one of the few manufactured cars avalable. Build quality is aparent everywhere, the dynaudio sound is great and the car is incredibly well insulated. Climate controll with humidity remuval is also special. I have the long 4 seater and that is what I recomend, if you get it go all the way. 15.000 euros will get you a reliable, afordable hand made car with 4 heated/ventilated massage chairs.
nothing is as expensive as a cheap luxury car. i try to keep to rule 'if you cant afford the maintance on it when it was new, you definitely wont when its used'
So true. Half the cars on this list get a bad rap for reliability because people stretch themselves to buy them and then can’t afford to maintain them.
@@davidk7262 I don't know about that. I have owned non luxury cars that have had no issues apart from normal wear and tear. Brakes, tyres, clutch etc.. The trap people fall into is thinking luxury cars are somehow of better quality and build and will give faultless service. I owned a Jaguar X type basic model and it gave me 140000 miles of trouble free motoring before I sold it on. All I replaced was a battery and a clip that secured a hose to the intercooler. And of course tyres and brake pads. I bought an XF 3.0 diesel s expecting it to be of the same quality. How wrong I was. Despite it having the perfect life of daily leisurely motorway runs to work and back, and having it serviced well before the service schedules, I encountered many problems, including the alternator failing without so much as a warning light coming on, turbo actuator, inlet hoses, electric window mechanism, boot wiring loom, suspension bushes, and the final straw, the inlet manifold cracking in the cold weather.

Man wish I came across this soon this is what am looking at for buying at the moment its between the Jaguar and S-class for me. Had a xf premium v8 and it was really the best car I have owned
I owned a 2011 Jaguar XJ for four years. Bought with 16k and sold with 90k on the clock. Having previously owned Mercedes C and CLS I’d say this is a superior car both in refinement and engine performance. Downside for me was not being able to buy a suitable roof rack or tow bar to carry bikes. I may have been lucky but other than usual service and consumables such as tyres it was quite reasonable cost wise to own. In summary, I’d say the best car I’ve owned
Buy a second hand jag or Range Rover at your peril, they not reliable when new. Had a few now,love them but can't deal with the problems. Had a Lexus for 10 years never had one problem.

Statistically, that is unlikely - look around you...YT gives people the impression that everyone is driving around in £60k cars, EDIT: Btw, I have a 2018 F-Type 400 Sport & a XF 3.0D😁
The issue with luxury cars is they will always cost megabux to repair. Anything loaded with tech and electrical bs will always be at risk of costly problems.
Would you please do a video on “jeep” style cars, the Jimmy, wrangler anything like that I imagine they’re affordable and I think they look cool, are they an option for a first car?
XJ is awesome. I own one and did consider a quatroporte. You can find services at 50% from an independent vs main dealer in the UK. Sunroof blind motor is the major issue to watch out for.
I own one of these - Portfolio spec. it has only done car I have owned with 48k and still seems new inside. This is the first car I have owned with a suede leather roof lining
None of that complicated technology where it certainly has the potential to fail : incurring maintenance costs, not something one could apply to a Morris Minor, one t that note, I don't mind owning one.
I agree, for many years, that anybody can buy a new car...but to have a beautiful, classic look and restored.. that u cherry it out...is the mark of a great car enthusiast. And some cars never lose their beauty of design...will always be gorgeous...just refurbish the engine and doodads..and Voila! you have a fantastic vehicle and you paid a nominal price to own..even the refurbishing doesn't break the bank. There are some serious gorgeous cars to be had that have miles on them...but they are strong as ever. Just fluff them back up. I did that with all my jags.. XKE V12'S AND V6...1973 XKE V12 CONVERTIBLE 4SPEED MANUAL...WAS MY FAVORITE AND *ANGELO'S* IN L.A. MADE IT BEYOND PERFECT EVERY TIME... (THE BEST JAGUAR MECHANIC IN CALIFORNIA) I PUT A PAINT JOB OF WHITE-WHITE AND MANY COATS OF WHITE PEARL ON TOP... IT WAS A SHOW STOPPER AND PPL WOULD COME AROUND AND ASK FOR MY AUTOGRAPH SOMETIMES.. IT *WAS* PRETTY. IT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE DAY AND UNDER THE MOON. ANGELO ALWAYS GAVE IT A GREAT TUNE ONCE A YEAR.. AND THE WAY I DROVE IT KEPT IT IN TUNE...MY FAVORITE AND MOST FUN CAR. WHEN I PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS OLD...I CHANGED ALL THE HOSES AND WHATEVER SMALL THINGS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE BRAND NEW *UP FRONT* ... AND I NEVER HAD ONE MOMENT'S PROBLEM WITH IT, OTHER THAN ONE FLAT PIRELLI TIRE, ONCE. AND ...IT BEAT OUT VETTES FROM A STANDSTILL AND WAS A JOY TO DRIVE AND RELY ON EVERY MINUTE. NEVER OVER HEATED, IDLED AT 7...TURNED ON LIKE A VOLKS WAGON.. *NEVER ANY ISSUE.* DROVE LIKE A DREAM. DON'T BELIEVE THE OLD HOGWASH ABOUT JAGUARS. THE OLD ONES WERE TERRIFIC. AND CAN STILL BE...JUST CHERRY IT OUT. GET A GOOD, OLDER MECHANIC WHO HAS THE CHOPS AND KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON THEM...BEFORE DIGITAL. YOU DO IT ONCE AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. AND BY THE WAY... IF THERE WAS EVER A EMP ATTACK ON OUR DIGITAL WORLD & VEHICLES...GUESS WHICH CARS WILL STILL RUN WHILE ALL OTHERS ARE STUCK RIGHT WHERE AND WHEN THE ATTACK TOOK PLACE. AND THEY ARE NOT MADE OF PLASTIC...NOR DO THEY HAVE PLASTIC BUMPERS MADE TO RUIN FOR AN AFTER MARKET SPREE...WANT TO TALK ABOUT NICKEL AND DIMING? YAH.. THAT'S THE NEW PLASTIC CARS. GEESH. ITS SO SAD.
They were expensive cars they have just depreciated horribly and people are driving round in them now pretending to be something they are most definitely not lol
looks expensive.. but let's be honest... maintenance is expensive. that's why it is so easy to buy luxury car for peanuts because maintenance can kill you 😉
I just wouldn’t consider any diesel car that’s not euro 6 or above (2015 plates onwards) due to the emission zone charges coming in over the next year, I really don’t fancy paying £10-12 a day to go to work or the tax hikes that are going to be added
So buy a car for under ten grand then spend another ten grand on repairs 😂 buy a Mondeo or Astra A rich man can play poor but a poor man can only play rich for so long, live life by your means don't go broke trying to impress 🙏🏽 God bless you all, we all want nice things but be happy with what you have 🙌🏽
Aussie here. Your video was very thought provoking and could influence my next ride. Local prices for most of these cars weren't anywhere near as painful as I'd expected. I've looked for examples that represent the best combination of purchase price, options, year model and mileage. It's also important to remember that Australian variations are usually better optioned as standard compared to UK/US variants: 1. VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI V6 - This vehicle was never brought to Australia :-( 2. 1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 6.8 V8 - I found an example with ~60K miles for AUD $22,250 (~£12,000), so not bad considering 3. 2009 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TD V6 - Cheapest I could find with similar mileage was AUD $24,000 (~£13,000). Again, not bad. 4. 2011 BMW 730d 3.0 TD V6 - Found one with ~60K miles for AUD $28,800 (~£15,600), or a 2010 model with ~100K miles for $24,500 (~£13,250) 5. 2011 Mercedes Benz S350 3.0 TD V6 - The cheapest I could find was an example with less than 90K miles for AUD $37,990 (~£20,500), so starting to get comparatively expensive. 6. 2012 Jaguar LWB 3.0 TD V6 - By far the cheapest I found was AUD $37,800 (£20,400) for one with 130K miles, although $48,000 (~£26,000) for examples with ~55-65K miles was far more typical. No thanks. 7. 2010 Lexus 450H 3.5i Hybrid - Japanese cars are definitely better value than European marques in Australia. An LS450H with less than 60K miles can be had for under AUD $20,000 (~£10,800). Still more expensive than the UK though. 8. 2008 Porsche Cayenne S 4.8 V8 - While I can buy an MY06 with (wait for it) >200K miles for AUD $11,500 (~£6,200), I found a nice looking 2009 example with 60K miles for $29,000 (~£15,600). Again, not as bad as I'd thought. 9. 2006 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2 V8 - As you mentioned, loads of variations here. I found a fantastic GT version with less than 45K miles for AUD $29,000 (~£15,600). Again, very surprising. 10. 2008 Audi S8 5.2 V10 - A bit on the expensive side compared to your side of the pond, but a 2008 model with ~130K miles for AUD $42,500 (~£23,000) was the cheapest example I could find. $50,000 would get you an example with ~90K miles. All in all, pretty surprising as I fully expected all the vehicles (at least the German and English marques) you listed to be 3 times the price.
Passat 1.9tdi PD130 Delete egr Stage 1 remap Would defo keep up or if anything leave these luxury cars With only 200bhp loads of torque coming smoothly from cast iron engine from Poland/Germany (guys were defo drinking when building the engine they forgot it’s a family saloon😂🤣) Hell yeah I’m driving one😎
I WOULD NOT TOUCH ONE OF THESE LEMONS WITH A BARGE POLE. THEY ARE CHEAP FOR A REASON, THEY ARE GOING TO SEND YOU TO THE POOR HOUSE IN NO TIME. That being said i did like your video a lot. Very well produced and delivered.
The ridiculously high maintenance costs on this type of car are the reason they are so cheap, anyone with half a brain would steer well clear of any of these.
Hi, great show. I have spent 40 plus years in the car business and you are bang on with these vehicles. Great to look at, go very well but expensive to maintain. Out of interest I just bought a Lexus LS460, luxury, performance and they are reliable. Thanks, Mark
Great video, thank you. Anyone contemplating one of these would be wise to go for a Lexus. They are bulletproof regardless of mileage. I can foresee a lot of heartache with all the others. Nice selection though!
@Karamjeet Grewal Don't be ignorant. I've owned a Camry, and can assure you of you tick all of the boxes on the very long list of options and upgrades, it's not any different than a Lexus is.
I drive a 2009 Jaguar X type executive model and it is very luxurious. Ivory leather, heated seats, sat nav, hands free phone, etc, and that only cost me £4000. I have had it for almost two years and touch wood I have only had one problem with it, which was a problem with the turbo, but managed to get it fixed for only £170. It is extremely cheap to run and has been a brilliant car
Can't speak for the others but I just sold a GS450h and they are AWESOME. Worth paying more for an L10/Mk4 though, these older ones have dated interiors and the battery warranty is only 10 years so will have run out- they can overheat on the older model although it's rare. Drivetrain is the same as the one I had though and I'll say this: drive one, get to 30mph, stick it in 1st/sport+ and floor it. I replaced mine with a 981 Cayman S and the Porsche wouldn't get near a GS doing that. It's no RS6 but nobody expects a hybrid to go that fast. Also it beat the Panamera in a handling test, just saying ☺ Yeah I still love that car...
Cayenne Turbo (I know you were talking about the S but most of the issues are common to both) was truly a vast money pit, strangely I didn't have a single electrical issue, 95% of the issues were coolant related (plastic water pipes everywhere, even the alternator was water cooled, and yes, I found that out when the feed pipe (plastic) broke) and the remainder of the problems were air suspension related. Epic car though but stick with Porsche's sports cars!
Great Job! I would go for the Lexus bullet proof then the Porsche Cayenne, however in terms of looks the Maserati Quattroporte although reliability scares me.
The only one worth having that isn't going to send you to the poor house over the next 12 months would be the Lexus. All the others are a fraction of their original price for a reason. Unreliable maintenance nightmares.
Very well done JB, this is the third of your "cheap luxury" car videos and I find them very informative, honest and something that people will be looking at with a view to buy a car even more now. Brilliant videos. Thank you.
Hi JB, another awesome video as always! - I was wondering if you could do a review on the Abarth 124 Spider? It’s almost like the little brother of the Alfa 4C. They also sound insane!
Watching some other JB vids and I thought I heard chimes ? Now in this vid, I definitely heard chimes in the background ! JB do you have chimes in your house ???
It's background ambience made by my sister, more audible with headphones and I've recently realised much less audible without! I might turn it up a bit to make it clearer
Do not buy a first gen range rover my dad owned a 2009 range rover 6 years ago nothing but problems spent about £5000 fixing it and it only had 25000 miles on. Was a comfortable ride I learned to drive in it
WooW !! Loved it, thanks ! Im in Spain. The Maserati and Porsche are given away for peanuts here but they are stupid expensive to run. The Range Rover, uf ! Consider Italian cars of the 70s :)
I like the real world reviews for real people. It might be helpful to add fuel economy with your performance figures as well. Keep up the research on common problems, because not many UA-cam people do that and it's very helpful. Good work.
Economy figures will pale in comparison to the maintenance cost of most of those cars. If you are worried about the cost of fuel economy, then these cars (except for the reliable V6 Lexus) are not for you.
The jaguar xj i have owned one there do have a lot of small problems in the cold the door locks don't like to work and the back ones do stop working but the biggest let down is it could of bean built better
Great presentation style. Relaxed, knowledgeable and informative 👌. Thanks. Well worth watching. My weakness is convertibles so I'll see if you've something similar for those. And if you haven't, there's a suggestion 😉
Great choices , I’ve owned 7 series Mercedes s classes And by far the best I’ve ever owned and still have is the Lexus LS 460 - never had problem to be honest I was so impressed I bought two However the Mercedes and BMW 7 series kept showing signs year after year with expensive maintenance with major parts failing The Lexus LS 460 now nearly 12 years old nothing major has ever happened I would highly recommend Lexus ls460s best engines and probably more tech then the German cars
My mate bought a 2007 Quattroporte sport GTS with 32K on the clock. It came with the variator done and he's put 70k miles on it in 4 years with not one issue. Obviously it's had 2 clutches in that time, one when he got it and the second after he'd done over 50K in it. He says just get the full auto box and you can't go wrong.. Its a hoot to drive with gurning grin driving guaranteed. Oh yeah, get rid of the useless Mazza Audio and sat nav, it's pathetic. Mate spent £1500 quid getting a pioneer system fitted by a specialist and it's brilliant.. As a left field choice of luxury car for between £5-7K, 2010 Honda Legend 3.5 V6 VTEC. AWD, typically brilliant Honda engine (295hp), and all the luxury goodies on offer.. My cousin is on his 2nd and put nearly 200K on the first one before giving it to his son, who's still running it 3 years later..
Re the quattroporte - I similarly know someone who’s been running an old one with 100k+ miles for many years without anything going wrong - always interesting the difference from car to car! And re the legend, didn’t think of that at all but a very fair shout
Some very good car's going to see if I can get you some more view's ok name is Paul Gallant I am a Geordie man living in Nottingham now warmer climate I am sharing this clip LinkedIn and Facebook Twitter see if I can boost your numbers got several pages on Facebook
they look expensive,because they are. the only one that makes sense if you are on a budget is the lexus,but it is the ugliest one here. a coworker had one for 5 years and only spent 600 pounds/year on it,driving 20000 miles/year when he sold it with 300.000 miles on the clock it was at the end of the road. an is 250 is a much nicer looking car,which you can buy for just a few 1000 pounds. I had only regular maintenance costs in 1.5 years,except for a new battery,130.000 miles on the clock now. you can get 35mpg easy,too
Cayenne S? 1.Owned a Turbo, but I would never recommend Cayenne S. This N/A version, especially the 4.5 is known to cause cooling leaks and overheat one of the cylinders. The Turbo or Turbo S is a better choice, because these engines were better built. You don´t get the better gauges with full LCD display. You get ones with pixelated screen. The S looks like it misses something at front, while Turbo looks more tough and aggressive, especially in Matte White which I had. If you are scared of breakdowns and unreliability, go for ones with 3.0 TDI. You buy a Cayenne S if you can´t afford a Turbo or Turbo S. Best thing you will miss in Cayenne S? The ´´thrust mode´´ when you floor it´´. 2. It´s true about the fuel economy. It´s ridiculous!! Good luck getting over 13 MPG in town!! Funny things is that the difference between S and Turbo/Turbo S aren´t big in terms of fuel consumption. 3. It isn´t practical. The room in front and back is good, but the luggage room is quite small. It´s much worse than 2nd Gen V70. 4. Electronics issues aren´t that bad. The one to break often is probably brake booster sensor, which will display Brake Booster Faulty on the display. Parking Sensors bug can be annoying too! Otherwise quite good. 5. Parts are quite cheap. It shares many components with Touareg, like suspension, modules, sensors etc. However, there can be expensive parts, like front lights, starter motor and alternator (cooled one).
Great video, very informative, especially the things to look out for when buying one of these type of car. I have had a VW Phaeton 3.0 and can highly recommend, i did get a good one though! Currently own a Lexus LS600hL, what a car, 440BHP, all wheel drive luxury barge!
Always feel it's a massive shame when all these big manufacturers have been in the game for such a long time yet still have basic faults that they really should have ironed out by now. Sure Issues will always need repaired but lots of the Issues you have stated and others some people will be aware of can only be put down as shoddy build quality. Unless the second or thirdhand buyer has very deep pockets they are all best given a very wide berth, Id not touch any of they Range Rovers more so from the list as they are junk.
DO NOT GET A RANGE ROVER, WORST CAR EVER. lovely to drive and be in, owned one for 1 year... had to get a gearbox rebuild £2200 new circuit board for indicator £360 heated seats nlstopped working. The list doesn't end.
Rolls Royce ... It is a car of the past ... Even buying a new Rolls Royce does not give you access to, yes, it does not ... Today, the only Rolls Royce part is the Ecstasy ... I hail from a Roller family ... Buying an old / used Rolls Royce is a very risky business ... The Real Rolls Royce was known for its quietest engine. It purred like a kitten ... It was Merlin that went into boats and aircraft ... From 70 onward RR started using a little bit modified Chrysler's Engine ...it worked fine but did not sound the RR. Then it was bought by VW. Now Bentleys are souped up VW ... BMW, very quietly bought Ecstasy ...Today's RR are all souped up BMW 760 ...a great car in her own right ...Old RR are the best buys and value for their money. However, there is a snag. There is always a snag. It is the cost of their repairs. Most modern Car Mechanics don't ever know how to handle even a mundane job ... RR cars heavy. The weight plays a very negative part.. One needs to replace, brakes, suspension, shock absorbers and tubes ... All need special knowledge / experience and tools ... Buying a RR for £10,000 would need another £10,000 to get it up to mark ...But then you have a Real Car ... In my personal experience, a RR less than £50,000 is not worth looking at ... regardless what the vendor says and shows, cheap RR do not exist ... they are PIA ... It is worth paying money to get it checked out by a qualified and competent RR Mechanic before you fork out your hard earned money ...i sold mine some 20 years ago and bought a BMW 750 V12 ..with a Sports button pushed down, it is a monster of a car to handle and drive ...
Can u do a video telling us the maintenance cost of these ie. Tires service clutch and so on. Cheers. New sub👌 oh cheak out my page and see the work i do around the world. Ever wana join me on a trip feel free to hit me up. ✌
I wouldn't buy another BMW again , I had a nice 318 model , gutless yet so cool looking. I had a small issue at the back of the engine, just a simply part $380 later ! Thank god I didn't have something major go :( Sold it on a few later because of the gutless 1.8 engine
You, sir, with due respect, appear to know beans about luxury cars VW, by its own name, is a car for the Plebe, a car for the ordinary people: Volks means that. The world is going egalitarian and you are talking about luxury cars ... You should talk about great plebian cars: VW is the Prime, Toyota, Hyundai, and the rest. Modern Plebian cars are far superior than luxury cars of yesteryear ...

Certainly did - made more better that one of my favourite vehicles got featured : Volkswagen Phaeton.
Please do this video for cars in the USA 😍🚘

Cars With JB cheap m4 ??? Where can I find one of those
Lol
Its iconic because everytime you are in a garage there's always one in the corner in pieces
These cars are cheap for a good reason: they will cost a fortune to keep on the road.
You are right. But we always forget that when we stand there, car key in hand.... 🤓
the Phaeton is cheap becouse people are snobs and need a brand. I had one for 2 years now and spent under 1000 euros on repairs. I do not use the VW service but I have a good mecanic. The car is a dream, I feel special every day driveing one of the few manufactured cars avalable.

The XJ has the option of a few good value Jag Specialists dotted around the UK
@@ph8077 That is a good point. You will need a lot of help in maintaining these cars.
BMW have a terrible reputation for reliability. They can’t give them away in USA.

Haha you’re not wrong!

Not true. I have a first gen cayenne turbo. And I can maintain it pretty easily. Not cheap, but definitely worth for what you get.
So true. Half the cars on this list get a bad rap for reliability because people stretch themselves to buy them and then can’t afford to maintain them.
@@davidk7262 I don't know about that. I have owned non luxury cars that have had no issues apart from normal wear and tear. Brakes, tyres, clutch etc..
The trap people fall into is thinking luxury cars are somehow of better quality and build and will give faultless service.
I owned a Jaguar X type basic model and it gave me 140000 miles of trouble free motoring before I sold it on. All I replaced was a battery and a clip that secured a hose to the intercooler. And of course tyres and brake pads.
I bought an XF 3.0 diesel s expecting it to be of the same quality. How wrong I was.
Despite it having the perfect life of daily leisurely motorway runs to work and back, and having it serviced well before the service schedules, I encountered many problems, including the alternator failing without so much as a warning light coming on, turbo actuator, inlet hoses, electric window mechanism, boot wiring loom, suspension bushes, and the final straw, the inlet manifold cracking in the cold weather.
That last job would have been over 8 hours labour and you can't just replace one of the manifolds you have to replace them both.
Many of the faults I had with that car were common faults but expensive to fix. I wish I had done more research into reliability before buying it..
You would think that the more expensive the car, it would at least be as reliable as the cheaper cars in the range.
I learned a hard lesson.
I would highly recommend the Jaguar XJ. Great car. Best interior I’ve ever been in and lovely to drive.
my dad just got one last month, brilliant car
I wanan buy one but do you think the car is reliable, ppl were telling me the engine are as successful but I love the car, wanted to know more info.

I had a 2014 3litre v6 and it was great. No problems at all and drove like a dream. You will get issues with any make of car. Just make sure get it serviced regularly and you should be fine.
Quick cars too. Would love one but sadly cheap ones aren't ULEZ compliant
Heart says Maserati, head says Lexus. What I actually bought was a Range Rover Sport...... with a warranty.
Man wish I came across this soon this is what am looking at for buying at the moment its between the Jaguar and S-class for me. Had a xf premium v8 and it was really the best car I have owned

True but Maserati regularly tops the lists of the least reliable new cars.
And Phaetons can be financially ruinous. My experience with Jaguars has been much better
I have never owned an unreliable Jag and I have had loads, old ones, new ones, XJ's, X-Types, XK's. Maybe I was lucky.
except the merc and the lexus any of those cars for 10k is going to be high dollar yard art with in 48 hours
Lexus is the way to go . For sure
nothing is as expensive as a cheap luxury car. i try to keep to rule 'if you cant afford the maintance on it when it was new, you definitely wont when its used'
Yup. Add to that none of the previous 5 owners of the vehicle actually had the required maintenance carried out....
Just subscribe to Chris Fixx and get your hands dirty. :-)
Focus on becoming rich instead of buying an unreliable money pit to just look rich.
Statistically, that is unlikely - look around you...YT gives people the impression that everyone is driving around in £60k cars,
EDIT: Btw, I have a 2018 F-Type 400 Sport & a XF 3.0D😁
“Don’t expect maintenance to be cheap “
Lol... destroying the whole sentiment of being in budget itself.
The 2 best luxury cars you can buy under 10 grande that won't ever go wrong are Lexus ls460 and Lexus ls600 the ls600 was 90+ grand new
The issue with luxury cars is they will always cost megabux to repair. Anything loaded with tech and electrical bs will always be at risk of costly problems.
First time watching this channel. Very informative, top notch!

Haha I appreciate you man, you've been subscribed forever!

XJ is awesome. I own one and did consider a quatroporte. You can find services at 50% from an independent vs main dealer in the UK. Sunroof blind motor is the major issue to watch out for.

Great video JB👍🏻. You have improved so much since the start and I really hope you grow big some day
Appreciate it! Always trying to make everything a bit cleaner and more relevant 🤙🏽
Explains why I drive a 1964 Morris Minor. Zero depreciation or maintenance bills. I do it myself. Not much chance of a speeding ticket either.
😂 Real Talk 👍🏽
None of that complicated technology where it certainly has the potential to fail : incurring maintenance costs, not something one could apply to a Morris Minor, one t that note, I don't mind owning one.
But you ain't gettin no poomtang in that :)

Great video... But I think you should have put in two other cars like the Volvo V90 and Skoda Superb.
I agree, for many years, that anybody can buy a new car...but to have a beautiful, classic look and restored.. that u cherry it out...is the mark of a great car enthusiast. And some cars never lose their beauty of design...will always be gorgeous...just refurbish the engine and doodads..and Voila! you have a fantastic vehicle and you paid a nominal price to own..even the refurbishing doesn't break the bank. There are some serious gorgeous cars to be had that have miles on them...but they are strong as ever. Just fluff them back up. I did that with all my jags.. XKE V12'S AND V6...1973 XKE V12 CONVERTIBLE 4SPEED MANUAL...WAS MY FAVORITE AND *ANGELO'S* IN L.A. MADE IT BEYOND PERFECT EVERY TIME... (THE BEST JAGUAR MECHANIC IN CALIFORNIA) I PUT A PAINT JOB OF WHITE-WHITE AND MANY COATS OF WHITE PEARL ON TOP... IT WAS A SHOW STOPPER AND PPL WOULD COME AROUND AND ASK FOR MY AUTOGRAPH SOMETIMES.. IT *WAS* PRETTY. IT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE DAY AND UNDER THE MOON. ANGELO ALWAYS GAVE IT A GREAT TUNE ONCE A YEAR.. AND THE WAY I DROVE IT KEPT IT IN TUNE...MY FAVORITE AND MOST FUN CAR. WHEN I PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS OLD...I CHANGED ALL THE HOSES AND WHATEVER SMALL THINGS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE BRAND NEW *UP FRONT* ... AND I NEVER HAD ONE MOMENT'S PROBLEM WITH IT, OTHER THAN ONE FLAT PIRELLI TIRE, ONCE. AND ...IT BEAT OUT VETTES FROM A STANDSTILL AND WAS A JOY TO DRIVE AND RELY ON EVERY MINUTE. NEVER OVER HEATED, IDLED AT 7...TURNED ON LIKE A VOLKS WAGON.. *NEVER ANY ISSUE.* DROVE LIKE A DREAM. DON'T BELIEVE THE OLD HOGWASH ABOUT JAGUARS. THE OLD ONES WERE TERRIFIC. AND CAN STILL BE...JUST CHERRY IT OUT. GET A GOOD, OLDER MECHANIC WHO HAS THE CHOPS AND KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON THEM...BEFORE DIGITAL. YOU DO IT ONCE AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. AND BY THE WAY... IF THERE WAS EVER A EMP ATTACK ON OUR DIGITAL WORLD & VEHICLES...GUESS WHICH CARS WILL STILL RUN WHILE ALL OTHERS ARE STUCK RIGHT WHERE AND WHEN THE ATTACK TOOK PLACE. AND THEY ARE NOT MADE OF PLASTIC...NOR DO THEY HAVE PLASTIC BUMPERS MADE TO RUIN FOR AN AFTER MARKET SPREE...WANT TO TALK ABOUT NICKEL AND DIMING? YAH.. THAT'S THE NEW PLASTIC CARS. GEESH. ITS SO SAD.
They were expensive cars they have just depreciated horribly and people are driving round in them now pretending to be something they are most definitely not lol
Or they want a nice car
looks expensive.. but let's be honest... maintenance is expensive. that's why it is so easy to buy luxury car for peanuts because maintenance can kill you 😉
I just wouldn’t consider any diesel car that’s not euro 6 or above (2015 plates onwards) due to the emission zone charges coming in over the next year, I really don’t fancy paying £10-12 a day to go to work or the tax hikes that are going to be added
All this cars ( except Lexus) are "never ending story"...CE(check engine)!
@Chaminda Thushara Ruwan Kasturi just get an is220d and you wont have problem
@Chaminda Thushara Ruwan Kasturi im about comfort, reliability, and good mpg, lexus much better
@Chaminda Thushara Ruwan Kasturi are you idiot? the is220d has a 2.2l engine its not a v8
@Chaminda Thushara Ruwan Kasturi tell me a car that is more reliable, better looking and better spec at the pricepoint of a 220d, they are so cheap
for less than 4k you can get a 2010 one
Never buy a Bentley under £10k 😂
So buy a car for under ten grand then spend another ten grand on repairs 😂 buy a Mondeo or Astra
A rich man can play poor but a poor man can only play rich for so long, live life by your means don't go broke trying to impress 🙏🏽 God bless you all, we all want nice things but be happy with what you have 🙌🏽
I can recommend the Audi A5 3.0 tdi. Sline. Sportback. Practical family economic flying machine , try one.
I drive the s class w221 best Merc I have ever owned I’ve had a few last 3years daily driving no problems great car..
Aussie here. Your video was very thought provoking and could influence my next ride. Local prices for most of these cars weren't anywhere near as painful as I'd expected. I've looked for examples that represent the best combination of purchase price, options, year model and mileage. It's also important to remember that Australian variations are usually better optioned as standard compared to UK/US variants:
1. VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI V6 - This vehicle was never brought to Australia :-(
2. 1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 6.8 V8 - I found an example with ~60K miles for AUD $22,250 (~£12,000), so not bad considering
3. 2009 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TD V6 - Cheapest I could find with similar mileage was AUD $24,000 (~£13,000). Again, not bad.
4. 2011 BMW 730d 3.0 TD V6 - Found one with ~60K miles for AUD $28,800 (~£15,600), or a 2010 model with ~100K miles for $24,500 (~£13,250)
5. 2011 Mercedes Benz S350 3.0 TD V6 - The cheapest I could find was an example with less than 90K miles for AUD $37,990 (~£20,500), so starting to get comparatively expensive.
6. 2012 Jaguar LWB 3.0 TD V6 - By far the cheapest I found was AUD $37,800 (£20,400) for one with 130K miles, although $48,000 (~£26,000) for examples with ~55-65K miles was far more typical. No thanks.
7. 2010 Lexus 450H 3.5i Hybrid - Japanese cars are definitely better value than European marques in Australia. An LS450H with less than 60K miles can be had for under AUD $20,000 (~£10,800). Still more expensive than the UK though.
8. 2008 Porsche Cayenne S 4.8 V8 - While I can buy an MY06 with (wait for it) >200K miles for AUD $11,500 (~£6,200), I found a nice looking 2009 example with 60K miles for $29,000 (~£15,600). Again, not as bad as I'd thought.
9. 2006 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2 V8 - As you mentioned, loads of variations here. I found a fantastic GT version with less than 45K miles for AUD $29,000 (~£15,600). Again, very surprising.
10. 2008 Audi S8 5.2 V10 - A bit on the expensive side compared to your side of the pond, but a 2008 model with ~130K miles for AUD $42,500 (~£23,000) was the cheapest example I could find. $50,000 would get you an example with ~90K miles.
All in all, pretty surprising as I fully expected all the vehicles (at least the German and English marques) you listed to be 3 times the price.
Man you talk fast I loved the vid but 👍🇬🇧half the time I was struggling hearing you just slow it down a bit buddy
Will try my best!
I didn't have a problem so you must be slow
Brain processing system malfunction
I love Rolls Royce and most of british cars, as always great video
Same, used to not be a fan of RRs but they’ve grown on me!
You included the phaeton!!! Hell yeah good call man. The W12 is my dream car.

Would defo keep up or if anything leave these luxury cars
With only 200bhp loads of torque coming smoothly from cast iron engine from Poland/Germany (guys were defo drinking when building the engine they forgot it’s a family saloon😂🤣)
Hell yeah I’m driving one😎
Could you do a vid of cars with amazing tech for under 15 grand. I’m really wondering how much current tech you can get for that price.
Yeah 100%, I was actually thinking about this today 👀
Lexus RX 450h
I WOULD NOT TOUCH ONE OF THESE LEMONS WITH A BARGE POLE. THEY ARE CHEAP FOR A REASON, THEY ARE GOING TO SEND YOU TO THE POOR HOUSE IN NO TIME. That being said i did like your video a lot. Very well produced and delivered.
The ridiculously high maintenance costs on this type of car are the reason they are so cheap, anyone with half a brain would steer well clear of any of these.
Hi, great show. I have spent 40 plus years in the car business and you are bang on with these vehicles. Great to look at, go very well but expensive to maintain. Out of interest I just bought a Lexus LS460, luxury, performance and they are reliable. Thanks, Mark
Appreciate it, thanks Mark! And congrats on the Lexus, I hope it treats you well
Bring me a2015 Range Rover.Sport white/BLACK CAP
When can I come get it
Have to agree on the Lexus, beautiful car and super reliable...
Owning cost is the main reason for the depreciation.
It can be eyewatering to run a luxo barge.
Great video, thank you. Anyone contemplating one of these would be wise to go for a Lexus. They are bulletproof regardless of mileage. I can foresee a lot of heartache with all the others. Nice selection though!
The Silver Spirit is the 'Rolls-Royce' of luxury cars 😂😂
So glad you’re nearly at 50k subs, I’ve been following you since you’ve had just over 1k
Crazy how close it is now! Gotta get there soon 🤙🏽
Middle aged bald men watching this 👀
Haha I know the target market 👀👀
You cheeky git.....
Were have you hidden your secret camera in my sitting room😂
Count me in!.
Sod you I m a good looking bastard, bad ass figure too. Then I look in the mirror and oh shit I’m not 35 anymore, what happened
@@jackkruese4258 I'm not even 53 anymore......
The maserati and audi s8 might seem like a good deal till you see the insurance
I would go for the Lexus having owned a top spec Toyota some years ago and encountered no reliability issues at all.
@Karamjeet Grewal Don't be ignorant. I've owned a Camry, and can assure you of you tick all of the boxes on the very long list of options and upgrades, it's not any different than a Lexus is.
Expensive luxury cars that look cheap
I drive a 2009 Jaguar X type executive model and it is very luxurious. Ivory leather, heated seats, sat nav, hands free phone, etc, and that only cost me £4000. I have had it for almost two years and touch wood I have only had one problem with it, which was a problem with the turbo, but managed to get it fixed for only £170. It is extremely cheap to run and has been a brilliant car
Awesome I’m interested in the Range Rover Lexus 450 H n the Audi 💯🔥🚘👍🏾
Can't speak for the others but I just sold a GS450h and they are AWESOME. Worth paying more for an L10/Mk4 though, these older ones have dated interiors and the battery warranty is only 10 years so will have run out- they can overheat on the older model although it's rare.
Drivetrain is the same as the one I had though and I'll say this: drive one, get to 30mph, stick it in 1st/sport+ and floor it. I replaced mine with a 981 Cayman S and the Porsche wouldn't get near a GS doing that. It's no RS6 but nobody expects a hybrid to go that fast. Also it beat the Panamera in a handling test, just saying ☺ Yeah I still love that car...
Apothecary Terry Thanks for the feedback 💯🙂
All very fair shouts!
Been watching the channel a while now just only realised u have under 50k like jeez the quality of these videos r insane , keep up the great work Jb 🙂
Haha appreciate it man! TBH I’m surprised I’m even close to 50k
1st timer enjoyed the video a lot but make sure you have a full wallet first before you buy
Cayenne Turbo (I know you were talking about the S but most of the issues are common to both) was truly a vast money pit, strangely I didn't have a single electrical issue, 95% of the issues were coolant related (plastic water pipes everywhere, even the alternator was water cooled, and yes, I found that out when the feed pipe (plastic) broke) and the remainder of the problems were air suspension related. Epic car though but stick with Porsche's sports cars!
Great Job! I would go for the Lexus bullet proof then the Porsche Cayenne, however in terms of looks the Maserati Quattroporte although reliability scares me.
Really enjoyed this but nearly all the cars had costly repairs and not cheap to run
The only one worth having that isn't going to send you to the poor house over the next 12 months would be the Lexus. All the others are a fraction of their original price for a reason. Unreliable maintenance nightmares.
Very well done JB, this is the third of your "cheap luxury" car videos and I find them very informative, honest and something that people will be looking at with a view to buy a car even more now.
Brilliant videos. Thank you.
Hi JB, another awesome video as always!
- I was wondering if you could do a review on the Abarth 124 Spider? It’s almost like the little brother of the Alfa 4C. They also sound insane!
Cheers! I’ll see what I can do - if I can get into one I’d definitely be up for reviewing 🤙🏽
124 is Miata. 4C is competition to Alpine A110
Mateusz Zimon Yup I’m aware - hence why I said little brother to 4C
Absolutely sickk video. My new favourite car youtuber. Keep it up JB.
Watching some other JB vids and I thought I heard chimes ?
Now in this vid, I definitely heard chimes in the background !
JB do you have chimes in your house ???
It's background ambience made by my sister, more audible with headphones and I've recently realised much less audible without! I might turn it up a bit to make it clearer
Do not buy a first gen range rover my dad owned a 2009 range rover 6 years ago nothing but problems spent about £5000 fixing it and it only had 25000 miles on. Was a comfortable ride I learned to drive in it
All endless money pits !
I thought the Boxster was the car that saved Porsche
Or the 924/944...it's all relative to era's I guess
the Boxster saved their ass and gave them the Cayenne opening up a new luxury market in the far and middle east. One definitely helped the other.
WooW !! Loved it, thanks ! Im in Spain. The Maserati and Porsche are given away for peanuts here but they are stupid expensive to run. The Range Rover, uf ! Consider Italian cars of the 70s :)
There’s a reason these cars are virtually worthless . 🤪
Ever stop to think why they are so cheap?
Well..... that's where a real man inevitably will suffer a bout of diminishing judgment. Quite similar to what happens when tits are within reach....
I had the first gen of the Cayenne. I really loved it but it had some problems so I sold it and kinda regret it...
I’ve heard a lot of people loved the Cayennes!
Great video JB.....nicely edited, clearly spoken and to the point.....just what we want, a detailed but quick run down of each car....thanks
I like the real world reviews for real people. It might be helpful to add fuel economy with your performance figures as well. Keep up the research on common problems, because not many UA-cam people do that and it's very helpful. Good work.
Yes I might incorporate into the little top left graphic maybe - an easy amendment to make!
Economy figures will pale in comparison to the maintenance cost of most of those cars. If you are worried about the cost of fuel economy, then these cars (except for the reliable V6 Lexus) are not for you.
Rolls Royce under 10 000 whaaaaaatttt?
The jaguar xj i have owned one there do have a lot of small problems in the cold the door locks don't like to work and the back ones do stop working but the biggest let down is it could of bean built better
Great presentation style. Relaxed, knowledgeable and informative 👌. Thanks. Well worth watching. My weakness is convertibles so I'll see if you've something similar for those. And if you haven't, there's a suggestion 😉
Appreciate the kind words! I've done a few convertible vids, more coming soon...
The 2010 BMW 750li or the straight 6 (740li) should b on this list.
Great choices , I’ve owned 7 series Mercedes s classes
And by far the best I’ve ever owned and still have is the Lexus LS 460 - never had problem to be honest I was so impressed I bought two
However the Mercedes and BMW 7 series kept showing signs year after year with expensive maintenance with major parts failing
The Lexus LS 460 now nearly 12 years old nothing major has ever happened
I would highly recommend Lexus ls460s best engines and probably more tech then the German cars
Jaguar interiors are so beautiful...
You’ll have your hands on your wallet more than the steering wheel.
My dad had one of those audi a8 but it was a v8 he bought it for 8k
Love it mate! A real good collection of cars for 10 grand or under. My fav is the Maserati. Love what you do . Keep it coming!
Appreciate the kind words!
Extremely detailed and Informative video. Great work JB
And what about the Lexus RX 450h??
My mate bought a 2007 Quattroporte sport GTS with 32K on the clock. It came with the variator done and he's put 70k miles on it in 4 years with not one issue. Obviously it's had 2 clutches in that time, one when he got it and the second after he'd done over 50K in it. He says just get the full auto box and you can't go wrong.. Its a hoot to drive with gurning grin driving guaranteed. Oh yeah, get rid of the useless Mazza Audio and sat nav, it's pathetic. Mate spent £1500 quid getting a pioneer system fitted by a specialist and it's brilliant..
As a left field choice of luxury car for between £5-7K, 2010 Honda Legend 3.5 V6 VTEC. AWD, typically brilliant Honda engine (295hp), and all the luxury goodies on offer.. My cousin is on his 2nd and put nearly 200K on the first one before giving it to his son, who's still running it 3 years later..
Re the quattroporte - I similarly know someone who’s been running an old one with 100k+ miles for many years without anything going wrong - always interesting the difference from car to car! And re the legend, didn’t think of that at all but a very fair shout
I have the Cayenne S. I do the repairs and maintenance myself otherwise it would have been a very expensive car to own.
The Lexus for me bulletproof luxury the rest are potential money pits 🚗😳
Yes, but it is still just a Toyota with a fancy frock
And better for it in my 📚
Avoid Range Rover because these are disastrous, poor quality electronics and very very expensive to repair..
With you there!
Air bags also fails on Range Rovers all the time
Some very good car's going to see if I can get you some more view's ok name is Paul Gallant I am a Geordie man living in Nottingham now warmer climate I am sharing this clip LinkedIn and Facebook Twitter see if I can boost your numbers got several pages on Facebook
Great video mate. Subscribed! I like the look of the Phaeton but still soooooo drawn towards an old Roller.....
Glad you enjoyed! My dad did some work on one of the old Rolls when I was a kid and even then it was cool
Lexus best reliability , good videos enjoyed it
they look expensive,because they are.
the only one that makes sense if you are on a budget is the lexus,but it is the ugliest one here.
a coworker had one for 5 years and only spent 600 pounds/year on it,driving 20000 miles/year
when he sold it with 300.000 miles on the clock it was at the end of the road.
an is 250 is a much nicer looking car,which you can buy for just a few 1000 pounds.
I had only regular maintenance costs in 1.5 years,except for a new battery,130.000 miles on the clock now.
you can get 35mpg easy,too
What’s the chances of you doing something with VW campers
Cayenne S?
1.Owned a Turbo, but I would never recommend Cayenne S. This N/A version, especially the 4.5 is known to cause cooling leaks and overheat one of the cylinders. The Turbo or Turbo S is a better choice, because these engines were better built. You don´t get the better gauges with full LCD display. You get ones with pixelated screen. The S looks like it misses something at front, while Turbo looks more tough and aggressive, especially in Matte White which I had. If you are scared of breakdowns and unreliability, go for ones with 3.0 TDI.
You buy a Cayenne S if you can´t afford a Turbo or Turbo S. Best thing you will miss in Cayenne S? The ´´thrust mode´´ when you floor it´´.
2. It´s true about the fuel economy. It´s ridiculous!! Good luck getting over 13 MPG in town!! Funny things is that the difference between S and Turbo/Turbo S aren´t big in terms of fuel consumption.
3. It isn´t practical. The room in front and back is good, but the luggage room is quite small. It´s much worse than 2nd Gen V70.
4. Electronics issues aren´t that bad. The one to break often is probably brake booster sensor, which will display Brake Booster Faulty on the display. Parking Sensors bug can be annoying too! Otherwise quite good.
5. Parts are quite cheap. It shares many components with Touareg, like suspension, modules, sensors etc. However, there can be expensive parts, like front lights, starter motor and alternator (cooled one).
Great video, very informative, especially the things to look out for when buying one of these type of car. I have had a VW Phaeton 3.0 and can highly recommend, i did get a good one though! Currently own a Lexus LS600hL, what a car, 440BHP, all wheel drive luxury barge!
Always feel it's a massive shame when all these big manufacturers have been in the game for such a long time yet still have basic faults that they really should have ironed out by now.
Sure Issues will always need repaired but lots of the Issues you have stated and others some people will be aware of can only be put down as shoddy build quality.
Unless the second or thirdhand buyer has very deep pockets they are all best given a very wide berth, Id not touch any of they Range Rovers more so from the list as they are junk.
Lexus only sensible option
But dull as fuck
DO NOT GET A RANGE ROVER, WORST CAR EVER. lovely to drive and be in, owned one for 1 year... had to get a gearbox rebuild £2200 new circuit board for indicator £360 heated seats nlstopped working. The list doesn't end.
Rolls Royce ... It is a car of the past ... Even buying a new Rolls Royce does not give you access to, yes, it does not ... Today, the only Rolls Royce part is the Ecstasy ... I hail from a Roller family ... Buying an old / used Rolls Royce is a very risky business ... The Real Rolls Royce was known for its quietest engine. It purred like a kitten ... It was Merlin that went into boats and aircraft ... From 70 onward RR started using a little bit modified Chrysler's Engine ...it worked fine but did not sound the RR. Then it was bought by VW. Now Bentleys are souped up VW ... BMW, very quietly bought Ecstasy ...Today's RR are all souped up BMW 760 ...a great car in her own right ...Old RR are the best buys and value for their money. However, there is a snag. There is always a snag. It is the cost of their repairs. Most modern Car Mechanics don't ever know how to handle even a mundane job ... RR cars heavy. The weight plays a very negative part.. One needs to replace, brakes, suspension, shock absorbers and tubes ... All need special knowledge / experience and tools ... Buying a RR for £10,000 would need another £10,000 to get it up to mark ...But then you have a Real Car ... In my personal experience, a RR less than £50,000 is not worth looking at ... regardless what the vendor says and shows, cheap RR do not exist ... they are PIA ... It is worth paying money to get it checked out by a qualified and competent RR Mechanic before you fork out your hard earned money ...i sold mine some 20 years ago and bought a BMW 750 V12 ..with a Sports button pushed down, it is a monster of a car to handle and drive ...
Can u do a video telling us the maintenance cost of these ie. Tires service clutch and so on. Cheers. New sub👌 oh cheak out my page and see the work i do around the world. Ever wana join me on a trip feel free to hit me up. ✌
I wouldn't buy another BMW again , I had a nice 318 model , gutless yet so cool looking.
I had a small issue at the back of the engine, just a simply part $380 later !
Thank god I didn't have something major go :(
Sold it on a few later because of the gutless 1.8 engine
You, sir, with due respect, appear to know beans about luxury cars VW, by its own name, is a car for the Plebe, a car for the ordinary people: Volks means that. The world is going egalitarian and you are talking about luxury cars ... You should talk about great plebian cars: VW is the Prime, Toyota, Hyundai, and the rest. Modern Plebian cars are far superior than luxury cars of yesteryear ...
My current car has all the problems listed in this video (minus the carbon build up issue) but also offers zero luxury and no street cred LOL
Ace vid and well worth the watch
