The annual Consumer Reports auto issue is out, and among all of its suggestions for the best vehicles in just about every class is a list of what it says is the worst used cars and trucks you can buy.
Based on a survey of its subscribers, the collection covers vehicles from the past decade that have been reported to have “much-worse-than-average overall reliability” for multiple years.
The list is limited to vehicles with at least three years of data, and specific issues aren’t mentioned.

I see GM is well represented on the list.
ReplyDeleteI see Ford is very well represented on that list too. GM has 6 vehicles on the list, 2 of which are Saturns which is no longer a problem. Ford has 5 vehicles on the list (inc the Lincoln). The saddest part is that the F250 & F350 diseils are in that list.

ReplyDeleteBuy AMERICAN
i don't buy anything but Honda or Toyota and i always hear about "buy american" but they are the best vehicles period.
ReplyDeleteI use to purchase used cars that were well used and cared for. Today I will buy only new and see my money fly out the back window as I drive off the lot. BUT ...at least I know I am driving something that has not been in a flood, recalls ignored, poor maintained, painted over after a major collision. I know.. every one will say there is an app for that. It is my life on the line and I want to make sure the odds are in my favor in an accident. And NO my car is not American made. SAD
