SO no cars older than 3 years.
So meaningless: new cars should be faultless.
-
No, new cars are not faultless. Close to the bottom of the list is Range Rover. Still a dog of a car and just slightly better than Chery (Chinese) and Great Wall Motors (also Chinese). Several Chery owners had their brakes pack up completely in under 9 months

Yes, the Chrysler Jeeps are dreadful cars. Yet they still sell on account of being "American" and clever advertising.
Know 4 people who have had them and all sorts of major problems that cannot be sorted out. Most prevalent one is aircon failing. When it is 38 deg outside with 90% humidity this goes down well. Friend in Durban where it gets really hot and muggy in summer has had his replaced 6 times. All they do is swop out the compressor, no attempt is made to find the origin of the problem. After a swopped compressor fitted on a Monday failed on Wednesday he took it to an aircon specialst who diagnosed faulty flow sensors. When he took it back to the agent and told them this, they threatened to cancel the motorplan since an outside workshop had looked at it. He told them that in 14 months he had 6 compressors fiitted, their retort was to say they will continue to replace them if they fail, since only they "know" Chrysler products.
He sold the car soon after and bought a Hyundai Sorrento

Great Wall Motors (also Chinese).
Great Wall sell only pickups over here. They're imported by the ex-Daihatsu importer and have been picked as a franchise replacement for many Daihatsu dealers following the withdrawal of that brand from the UK market. It will be interesting to see how they stack up reliability wise as eventually Chinese cars will follow behind.

The Great Wall small lorries have Nissan engines in them. My neighbour is a contractor and has 2. When he goes to get parts, the labels of the stuff on the shelves is all "Nissan". The dealer sells these Nissan parts cheaper than the Nissan dealer.
He reckons they are no better or worse than Isuzu or Nissan LDVs. A lot cheaper to buy though. The 1 ton GWM light lorry is 35% less than its Isuzu equivalent.
But the Chery (especially the small one) is a rubbish car. It is a copy of the Tata Ion which has a 903cc, 3-cylinder engine. The back door windows are fixed and you can only open the boot with a lever from inside the back door which is tucked away under the seat. When I was looking at the build quality, it made me think of a Trabant...
