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.

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
Quality Hi-Per-Lux vehicles don’t always come with care and feeding instructions, but thoughtful maintenance certainly pays dividends. Like, driving experience!
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
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.

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 💰
@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.
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.
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.
As an owner with a 210 v6 with over 220k miles and still goes stronger than ever and I might add it’s a blast to drive. She’s currently in the shop rn tho due to a ignition system failure :(

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.
So now we have seen all the best cheep fast lux suv sports sleepers...so now you should let us ask you what car should i buy...if i give you a price range and how the car needs to be used. Like dayly driver, kid haller, big dogs in back, 4x4 or snow, L,M,S,ex-s in size. Thats what we all want to know.
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. I like Cadillacs and BMWs Mercedes Audi but not all models are the best “used cars”. Long story short the older I get the less I care about which is the fastest but rather which is the comfiest and what has the most road presence.
@@miguelfigueroa360 The interior isn't a reason to buy any car. It isn't going to have any effect on the price if the car is a lawn ornament. As for wear items, they're common to any car. The expression "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes, BMW, or Audi!" exists for a reason. 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.
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.
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.
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

E46 is my first car and basically taught me a lot about cars. Loved driving them but also forced me to learn and work on cars every weekend 😂
My E46 was insanely reliable, 227k miles before the headgasket failed. And that was my fault for not paying attention haha.

Do you suggest it as a first car? Well second but first one of mine. I have a budget of like 10k.
BMW E46 has way too many oil and coolant leak problems to be considered a reliable car.
My 328i had some sort of oil issue. It’s been parked for my garage for 2yrs.
Yeah true, for me the beemer including the F30 does have that that cooling system problem
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!

I miss mine, been looking for another one
About time I get to see my ES finally make the list
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.
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?
@@zatchidz they called it a turbo charger since you weren't paying attention. Also, those engines are highly regarded as bullet proof with maintenance

13:54 that was me in the back & definitely said nice when I heard that 420Hp
My first car is 2005 Infiniti g35 sedan. Awesome car but make sure you change valve cover to stop losing oil. But overall good car

You forgot Volvo's. They are reliable af. (I own one so I know)

Maybe they alredy talked about them in a past video? (Actually not sure if not I'm sorry)
