Upon complaining about my Audi's high maintenance costs to their service manager he quipped back most of their customers can afford it. I got the message and quickly dumped that money pit. The "Art of Engineering" was too unreliable and expensive for my budget and patience.
@@alwayslearningthankyou2708 That's due to poor labor. In America, you must get the longest warranty possible. That way you don't pay for others poor hiring practices. The dealer doesn't care if they bankrupt you. An extended warranty changes the power dynamic in your favour
Maybe true for a Peugeot. However, most Mercedes are basically bulletproof, unless you have the wrong people working on them (and messing them up) If your area has poor labor (or extra greedy dealerships), get the extended warranty. Easily pays for itself.
BUYER BEWARE! You buy that Audi Q5 at your peril. The repair costs when it breaks are through the roof. And break it will. Then add to it, the costly major service it needs at intervals, carbon build up on the cylinder heads, the oil burning. However, the Q5 looks awesome when hoisted on a lift.😅
I'll say some SUVs that look modern enough and are realiable are Jeep CG 2008-2009, Jeep Cherokee 2010 isn't bad either and Crand Cherokee SRTV8 2006-2008 if you like Jeep, this are the most realiable and modern looking ones, good interiors, nice looking on the outside and decently equipped. For Range Rover i'll say the 2011 freelander, is a solid car, RR sport 2011 if ou want a more "luxurious" interiors. Also Chevy Captiva and the 2008/09 Tahoe are also some nice SUVs, mostly the Tahoe i'll say. The other really reliable ones look quite older and are unfortunatly outadet, like the Suzuki Jimny, Toyota Highlander and so on. This are my picks for the most realiable/modern looking ones, some of them with some tuning would look way more expensive and cool, like 17" black rims and a new car painting. Hope this helps!
@@rsrs6959 I also suggest you to check Scotty Kilmer, he makes videos about good cars, used ones, cheap ones, and models that you should avoid. He has few SUV videos with different price ranges, it would give you more options than mines. Your welcome, have a nice day!
@@pelepoporo5251 Thanks, mostly Scotty suggests Toyota and Honda only, and those are great, but so hard to get at a good affordable price, because of the good brand name, and also because of the general hike in prices of cars due to COVID shortage.
@@rsrs6959 He also suggests Lexus too, the ones i named are the ones who are affordable even here in Europe try see some of them with not too high milege, maybe you'll find something that you would like. Scotty suggests mostly old models because those really last a lot and will hardly give you little to no problem. I'll say avoid Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes SUVs, they're cool but unfortunatly maintainance prices are high (with BMW and Mercedes), Lexus SUVs should be affordable i'll say always check models from 2010 till 2016 these should still be modern enough, and prices aren't too high. Jeep try the one i mentioned, Grand Cherokee from 2008 to 2009 are affordable with not too high milege, Cherokee better be 2009 or 2010, even tho i'm not really sure about 2010 model. Chevy Tahoe it's a classic in the US, if i'm not mistaken that should be affordable too, Captiva isn't also a bad idea at all. Few Range Rover models are actually good and reliable but most likely even with older models the maintainance costs are high. Anyway 2011 Freelander is still a solid SUV, but better go for something that wouldn't cost you a lot to maintain. This are the one that i know are good enough so far, hope it helps!
If you are going to go for older luxury SUV's, save yourself the headaches of being in the repair shop all the time, and spend the few more dollars it takes to get a Lexus. You really do get what you pay for with them and they are super reliable, which will save you more money in the long run. 300,000 miles here I come!
@@peteryork6939 tell your wife what? that she needs a husband with a real budget for a car? he said get a lexus (aka a reliable car) he definitely didn’t say to buy a 15 year old car lol i wouldn’t wanna ride around in it either

the Gospel is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and thus we all deserve eternity in hell, an eternity of judgment. BUT, in GOD's great love and mercy, He sent His only begotten SON into the world to die for the world's sins and to be risen for its justification, that whomever from the world would believe in Him would be saved and have life everlasting. Amen.
I would recommend to avoid any used European luxury vehicles that are past their warranty which is right when the problems start. There's a reason why they depreciate so much. Maintenance and repair cost is high plus they break all the time. Get a Lexus or get a non-luxury brand SUV. These cars are for a certain market when new and if you cannot afford to buy/maintain them when they are new it is not recommend to get them when they are getting old.
Be ready or pay big bucks to keep any of the cars on this list running. I own one and know first hand. There is a reason Lexus resale value to so high compared to the SUVs on your list.
Yeah but you will have to fork out at least a 3rd of that on expensive repairs. I would rather get a newer CR-V or even a Mazda, Kia or Hyundai than go for old, used Luxury brand if affordability was an issue.
Still driving around in my 15-year-old Pathfinder with 150k miles. Also had BMWs and Land Rovers since making that Nissan purchase. Key word: Had. By the way, that model year I have was before the notorious CVT transmissions were being put in the newer models (2013 and up) and also before those designs started to look like crossovers/minivans... so I'm good with a reliable, rugged, ladder-up-frame SUV based on an actual 4x4 truck chassis (the Frontier).

Don’t buy unless you are prepared to pay high price for repair, or you are a good mechanic, I saved on the vehicle but now I am $10,000.00 down in repairs, somehow 3 oil leaks, oxygen sensor, breaks and maintenance at once in one visit to the dealership. my car value is not even that. 2014 BMW X1 97000 miles. Outrageous prices in maintenance is ridiculous!. Buy a Mazda Toyota Honda or Hyundai .
Edit . I had to pay for a starter and a burned out wire my car has been good since but I also still have oil leak but I have to add one quart of oil every 2 weeks and I don’t drive that much .
I used to work as a mechanic and then I was a service writer at the same European repair center we used to get people would come in and they get these smoking hot deals on a used Range Rover, BMW or something like that and then that first service would come do in reality would slap them right in the face.
This video sometimes shows newer models in the video than what they are talking about. For example, the BMW X3 portion of the video sometimes shows 2018 and up models, and sometimes shows 2015
Of course there cheap, they ran the hell out of them and get rid of them before the "real " cost comes in! If you drive to the market and back you might be okay for a couple of years.
220HP? My Kia Sportage had more than that. V6 guzzles gas. Range Rover, garbage. Used BMW, garbage. All of these will need expensive maintenance and the warranties are GONE. Volvo is the SAFEST. Cars are dangerous. Good luck!
If one cannot afford to buy these cars new, you will be ill advised to buy them used, unless the mileage is very low and car had been well maintained. Check Consumer Reports concerning reliability issues. Run away from used German Cars that can cost you an arm and a leg for repair and maintenance costs. You are much safer buying a used Lexus, after doing your research of the particular model and year.
All the people that I know they told me not to buy any used luxury brands because you end up buying a headache unless you know how to fix them otherwise stay away from them! You don’t want to enjoy to fixing them it’s not cheap to fix these cars!
There’s a reason that the price of all those luxury brands drops like a stone once they get out of warranty. You’ll find out why soon enough at the mechanic 😝
Hahahhhaha!!! Bad reputation and Scotty ‘s shows up!!! That makes this video perfect this guy calls everyone “stupid” the doesn’t buy a Toyota or the overpriced rebadged Lexus everything else is a money pit like he’s the one the pays the car!! SMH!!! Buy whatever you want and whatever makes you happy!!
Bmw especially deprecates in value quicker then most luxury Suvs. Most buyers are reluctant about Acura or Lincoln ,unless it has low mileage. Too many safety recalls . Some of them are very serious .One is related to faulty air bag or air bag component. Issues with Engine belts, transmission .Electrician issues that can simply cause fire. High maintenance costs. Most mom pop mechanics are reluctant putting their hands on luxury suvs. Volvo ,Acura and Lincoln especially . Yes older Mercedes,Volvo , Acura modes were build like tanks no doubt about it. In comparison Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Suzuki , Saab are lesser headaches . Unfortunately things are changing. Toyota Fore runner 1985, 1999, 2001, 2003 , 2007, 2017 are far better then 2023 Plastic Trd . Older model Toyota sequoia are much better then 2022 ,2023 80 grand plastic behemoth .
At the moment, cheapest thing about a car is the air freshener
Hahahaha

Super facts
No 🧢
Nah that's just the thing you can afford
Problem is you will probably spend more on repairs than a Honda Civic.
You are absolutely right
No probably 😕 definitely. 🤣
Acura is made by Honda and has the same engine as the accord.
For sure
Lol Honda Civic owns are just broke

Unless you're a mechanic yourself hahaha
I'll take the Civic.
Yes very very good choices but do you think you can do the same but with very reliable brands??
Yes, sure. thanks for the suggestion. 🙏
Life is too short for boring cars
Buying any of these will see you riding the bus more often than you anticipated.
you don’t look for a “cheap” “luxury” car and expect it to be reliable
@@lanceweyel879 many people do though
@Jedimack7 I have a volvo XC90 that I've had from 05, almost 300k miles, so I can vouch for that, but that was older cars, not the ones made in China.

If you consider the QX50, step up to a QX70 within the same price range. I just purchased a 2016 QX70s with 55k miles for $23k. Super happy.

are these owners CHEAP or just want to keep up with the jones
Cheap
Gas is gas lol

You should get paid to drive those money pits. Toyota Lexus Mazda and Subaru.
most of these have 70k miles already, just in time for repairs.

Buy a Toyota RAV4, and a big screen TV instead.
There’s gotta be a reason why a civic is more expressive than these cars… think about it lol
Showing new models and talking old is no good
Yes, you can purchase cheap luxury SUVs but how do you pay the $2k-10k, annual maintenance bills.
Better set aside the same amount you purchased one of these for maintenance costs…..
Which ones come with the safety features we have standard today ??
What website to look for these used cars?
Bad idea to buy a car that old and out of warranty; especially if they have bad history of repairs.
220HP? My Kia Sportage had more than that. V6 guzzles gas.
Range Rover, garbage. Used BMW, garbage.
All of these will need expensive maintenance and the warranties are GONE.
Volvo is the SAFEST. Cars are dangerous.

Better title for this video will be 'Best used SUVs to drain your wallet'

I am glad that people are waking up to this nonsense. If you buy one of these you will make you mechanic rich.
Only one worth it I’ve seen is Acura RDX everything else will cost you a fortune on matinence

Parts, Parts, Parts! $$$$$$$
the hidden side is, the repair of these SUVs is going to be way more expensive than a new Lexus.
NO SALE ON ANY OF THESE OLDIES ...
which one you think is best among those?
Acura RDX is very reliable comparatively.
You forgot the Vw touareg
Sure, then something breaks.. and good luck paying repairs
What is the real need for a luxury SUV? Are you really going drive that thing off road and get it dirty 🤔
... and don't forget to consider to save up so you can take them to the repair shop twice a year...
Wouldn't recommend the Volvo XC60 2015 I've seen lots of bad reviews on this and engine issues starting at the 70xxx miles and the BMW X3 2015 also
Do you have 15k model ?
Buying a 6+ year old German car is a money pit
Only Acura RDX has good reliability from the list.
