Buying a car is always a serious investment, so you should take the choice of model with all the responsibility. The secondary market is a double risk, as some seemingly high-quality cars may require significant investments in repairs and maintenance over time.
The mechanic has published six of the best used cars that he believes are worth buying at a fairly reasonable price. American David Long, known online as Car Wizard, shared the most reliable vehicles on the secondary market.
The rating of the best cars according to Long is as follows:
- Buick Lesabre 2000-2005;
- Chevy Silverado 1999-2006 or GMC Sierra;
- Lexus RX 350 of 2004-2009 years of production;
- Ford Crown Victoria 1998-2012 years of manufacture;
- Lexus LS 400 1996-2000 years of manufacture;
- Toyota Highlander 2001-2007.
The advantages of the Buick Lesabre include a 3.8-liter V6 engine in an automatic transmission. According to Long, the likelihood of this car breaking down is much lower than in other models, and if an accident does occur, spare parts are inexpensive and available. If the original plastic coolant elbows under the generator start leaking, they can be easily replaced with metal ones. The car can easily cover 500,000 to 650,000 km over its entire service life, and it can be purchased at a low price.
The 1999-2006Chevy Silverado has a 4.8 or 5.3-liter LS-based V8 engine. The car has a manual or automatic transmission and can tow a small camper or trailer. The price on the secondary market ranges from $5,000 to $10,000.
The third car on Long's list is a mid-size Lexus RX 350 SUV made in 2004-2009. The model has a 3.3-liter or 3.5-liter V6 engine. Used cars before 2009 cost between $5,000 and $10,000, Long said.
Ford Crown Victoria (1998-2012) was often used by the US police, but this popular model was discontinued in 2012.
"These cars are the epitome of bulletproof. Ford created a car that was reliable, comfortable and easy to maintain," Long said.
The vehicle has a 4.6-liter V8 engine and an automatic transmission.
"There are a few vehicles that use this platform, but it's one of the best, if not the best platform that Ford Motor Company has ever created in the history of the company. It's definitely a trouble-free car," Long summarized.
The fifth car on the list is the Lexus LS 400 produced in 1996-2000.
"There are not many of them left in the world. But they are literally tanks. They are extremely reliable," the expert emphasized.
The car has a four-liter V8 and an automatic transmission. The price of the car ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 dollars.
Toyota Highlander 2001-2007 is the perfect embodiment of a quality SUV.
The car has a 2.44-cylinder engine or a 3.3-liter V6. Long added that his father used to drive such a car, and it was the best investment for many years. Reliability, quality, durability, fuel economy - it's all about Toyota Highlander.
