Buy only new cars: car brands that should never be "second-hand"

Buying a second-hand car may seem like a good decision, as it is much cheaper than a new one. However, it is important to remember that a used car is always a risk.

There are some brands and models of cars that have reliability issues, so it's better to buy them in a showroom. GO has shared a list of used cars that are likely to make you spend a lot of money and effort on their repair.

Audi Q7

Audi is known for its driving dynamics, advanced technology, comfort, and luxurious style, and has a good reputation overall. But experts recommend staying away from the 2015 Q7. This model has an engine ignition problem that worsens over time due to the accumulation of carbon deposits in the cylinders.

In addition, the car's detonation sensor is constantly breaking down.

Dodge Charger

Dodge Chargers are beautiful cars that have been around since 1966 and are known for their legendary performance and quality. But there are exceptions to every rule, so you shouldn't buy models made in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012, and 2014, as there are risks of premature engine failure. In addition, the cars are not without problems with the transmission and suspension.

Ford Explorer

Thanks to its impressive performance and affordable price, the Ford Explorer has become an extremely popular SUV. However, models from 2002-2006 have problems with the transmission, body, interior accessories, wheels, windows, windshield, engine, brakes, and air conditioning, so they should be avoided.

Kia Sorento

Kia was first introduced to the American market in 1993 and has since become a very popular brand. However, experts recommend staying away from 2004, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 Sorentos due to numerous problems. For example, they had engine failure at an average of 10,000 km and other problems with airbags, belts, lighting, etc.

Mini Cooper

Thanks to its elegant appearance, the Mini Cooper has become one of the most popular small cars on the road. However, you should not save money and buy used models from 2006 to 2012, as they suffer from problems with the engine and electrical system.
