(#10) Out-Of-Warranty BMWs
From Redditor /u/innerearinfarction:
My mechanic tells me never to touch an out-of-warranty BMW.
He owns two, and says the electronic gremlins have driven him insane, and are virtually unfixable by a non-dealer mechanic. They require circuit board replacements, proprietary software readers, etc.

(#13) Jeeps
From Redditor /u/SuperRooster1776:
Jeeps. Remember, JEEP stands for "Just Emptied Every Pocket."
Those things will run, but you will have so many minor issues, you’ll want to get out of it so quick,

(#18) It Depends On Care
From Redditor /u/TheMetalWolf:
Mechanic here. To be fair and honest, there isn't a single brand or model to pinpoint. It's all about how you take care of it.
I've seen $200,000 cars that I wouldn't piss on to put out a fire, and I've seen $2,000 vehicles that are apocalypse proof. Some of my friends and co-workers that spend so much money on repairing their cars, or buying new ones just to neglect them, get to the same "oh, it's a piece of sh*t" mentality.
Meanwhile, my derelict (in appearance) 18-year-old truck (I've been the owner for the last eight) soldiers on with just basic service, and a few fixes and upgrades here and there.

(#15) Older Land Rover Discoveries And Defenders
From Redditor /u/aguycalledsteve:
Older Land Rover Discoveries and Defenders.
They rot like a ripe pear in the sun, and leak like a sieve. Parts are expensive and near constant maintenance is required.

(#5) GMs With 3300, 3400, And 3900 V6 Engines
From Redditor /u/anail1994:
Actual mechanic here.
Buy nothing from General Motors with the 3300, 3400, or 3900 V6 engines in them. They are unreliable trash and come from the "high value" platform. That means cheap, and not for you - cheap for General Motors.
Poorly made parts all the way through and really awful engineering. The 3800 V6, on the other hand, is an amazing motor with only a few minor problems.

(#3) Volkswagen Passats
From Redditor /u/jough22:
My brother works in auto body repair and told me he'd [destroy] me if I ever bought a Volkswagen. In particular, the Passat.
They were engineered to be easy to assemble, but not to fix. All the parts that were most likely to fail required taking apart half the engine to get at, he said.
