Recommending the GLK is absolutely crazy. These vehicles along with the whole Mercedes, Audi & BMW lineups have proven to be insane money pits. How can you possibly recommend these vehicles??

As a BMW owner I will say you are completely correct. It's one thing after another. The only saving grace is that I have a super ultra low emissions (SULEV) engine which is warrantied for 15 years or 150k miles. Luckily most of those issues have been covered so far. Still unreliable AF though.

It's well known among good mechanics (ie: Car Wizard or Legitstreetcars ) that the ONLY MB suv to buy used is the M series SUVs, if you have to have MB. Otherwise you looking at a money pit. GLK is no exception. Money pit.

From Bottom to Top

As a Mazda CX-5 owner i say its realiable and fun and luxury suv at the same time for a low price ❤❤

My 2008 Subaru Forester that I bought in 2016 with salvage title and 60k miles is extremely reliable and loved. 🕺

I have a 2010 Lexus ES350 and and RX350 with 133k and 153k miles and they are both pretty bulletproof. I do brakes changes myself, but everything else is routine maintenance, simple and not that expensive. Other brands I have had, transmission didn’t make it past 100k miles. Always and only, buy Toyota.

THE 2000 Navigator was a rental SUV at the time I purchased it. I saved 22,000.00 and it had only 18000kg on it at the time of purchase. I drove it for 14 years. It was easy on fuel and had excellent navigation.

This video has been very helpful and useful for my next car purchase.

I have spent over $30000 on my 2017 Mercedes’ over the last 2 years, headlight and headlight control unit $7700 Front and rear suspension x 2 electronic tailgate, fuel gauge. Hand brake actuator, steering column , + Never been in an accident. Only my stupidity in buying.

2:33 my BMW X2 was also made in Germany and I already spent $11,000 on it in 3 years. They are build with cheap plastics

We have the same year, love the car!

Best used SUV: 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited 4WD; had 158K mileage on it 2 years ago & has 175K today! When purchased, Gr8 Paint, interior, Ran VERY Smooth - Transmission, Everything worked Very Well, Including snow hill settings, without putting to the specialty mide right away! LOVING it...

My 1997 & 2002 Mitsubishi Montero 3.5 L V6 was by far the most reliable and capable SUV’s ever, never got stuck in snow, it was A fearless Full sized SUV, traded one for the other, the only reason I got rid of it was the Lack of parts availability, the older it got it just got to expensive to find available parts.

We had good luck with our 2008 Ford Escape with V-6 engine. At 200,000 miles only had to replace the struts and water pump. Changed the oil with synthetic oil every 4,000 miles and Transmission, Differential, PTO gear oil synthetic every 30,000 miles. I wish the newer SUVs like the newer Escape did not evolve to look more like station wagons than boxy SUVs as I need an SUV that will fit 2 dog boxes side by side (47 inches of width between the wheel wells).

My wife drives a Honda Fit Shuttle and after watching this documentary I am now going to upgrade her car to either a Honda CRV or the Rav 4. Thanks.

There has to be a good reason this made in Japan SUV has a 10 year warranty, flies under the radar of most buyers. I took the zero percent interest deal in 2018 and now it's 100% paid off. Just had a full detail done on it, with ceramic coating, and it looks brand new like it just came off the show room floor. This thing got me out a scary watery ditch one time, very safe AWD system.

It still had a great engine and no issues, but when you get gremlins, it has to go. Made me sad. Now I have a DIESEL X5 with 125,000 miles so far. Have not had any issues. Love an X5!

I own a 2016 Honda CRV which we purchased used with low mileage in 2017 and it now has >66,000 miles with no problems. But we do all the recommended maintenance. We have been happy with it and on long highway driving can get 30+ mpg!

The best SUV I’ve ever owned is actually my current and first SUV 2016 Suzuki S Cross Gl Navigator

I haave an 09 Rav 4 LTD that was purchased pre(scare) and it has been one of the best we;ve owned. Put about 50 k on it and nothing but maintenance so far. It's sitting at 98k as of today and hope it continues for a long time to come. The only complaint I have is road noise and with the greenhouse(which I love) as big as it is there's probably not muxh to be donw about it. It's only nothersome on the hwy so I guess we will invest in a hwy car and use the Rav for everything else.

My wife and I are still enjoying our 2012 Cadillac SRX. Purchased at auction, it was a lease car. We purchased it in 2015 and it had less than 25,000 miles on it. only problem was it needed brake pads all around, 4 new tires and a new battery, oh the rear camera was fuzzy so I installed a new one in it. Great running car millage now at 110,000.

Lexus nx 200t can you show me where sale under 20k

I have a 2004 CR-V with 168,000 miles on it. Just had to replace the chain and tensioners to the tune of $1,500 but that's the only problem it's ever given me. So important to always keep up on oil changes and oil levels..burns a bit

What about mileage for 10 used SUVs? Is there any advice for mileage of used suvs?

Planning on upgrading wifes car, really been looking into those '16 CRV's, very solid option

Had a dodge colt which was a Mitsubishi. 242,000 km . Just change the alternator. It had a 1.6 turbo engine. Best steering feel. Only Mazda can match the steering feel.

1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer AWD 5.0 L V8. 2005 Hummer H2 S.U.T. Base. Are my longest lasting most reliable SUVs.

Yes its true.... You CAN get all these SUV's for under $ 20,000 Dollars, .................with 150,000 thousand, (Or More) miles on them ! !!

I have a 2006 toyota Rav4. I would love to upgrade to one of those ones

Watch out for the Honda AC and window motor

my SUV is Honda Element 05,. great on gas and AWD

My 2015 RAV4 gave up the CVT at 110.000 miles. It cost me $8,000 to rebuild it from new and used cars at AAMCO which was expensive, but so far works. They added some cooling fan to the transmission as well. Just FYI If you have a jerky shifting or it kicks when you put R from Park, or it hesitates to gear up, RUN away from it :) the CVT will die soon! I had 4 Toyota services check for the problem before it completely died, and they were unable to diagnose the problem. You need to open the transmission, and it cost around $1,500 to do so. Anyway, you need to check, if the service really change the OIL in transmission...

The Nissan Xterra, Mercedes GLK, Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Outlander are NOT recommended picks according to Consumer Reports “Most Reliable” Used Car magazine published April 2023.

I have owed the 2014 Toyota Rav4, the 2005 Honda Pilot EXL, and the 2005 Honda Crv. Those 3 vehicles are great; confortable and reliable.

2017 rav4 is a pos. Two cv joints gone and transmission has torgue converter issues still that should have been a recall. Burns oil faster than any other vehicle I’ve owned with frequent oil changes. Pcv valve is under the intake. 500 dollar job for 10 dollar part. Brutal pos Toyota.

A used Mercedes??? Not!

Some of these are good choices, and some are not. I've used Consumer Reports before, and it is not a reliable source. A better source is a good mechanic. I think the Toyotas and Hondas are good choices, and possibly also Fords. Also, stay away from CVTs and turbos, which should further keep maintenance costs low.
