By far the worst trend in today’s automotive industry is replacing buttons that control basic functions such as AC and Radio with touch screens for NO REASON AT ALL other than to save money.

Doug is living the life- looking like he just woke up 10 minutes ago with millions of dollars worth of cars sitting behind him 😂

Worst Cars to Buy (Based on the Discussion):

1. Electric Vehicles (EVs)
- Currently experiencing significant value loss
- Specifically mentioned as "top of the peak" for depreciation

2. Large Luxury Cars
- Mercedes S-Class
- BMW 7 Series
- Noted for "deeply deeply depreciating"
- Buyers generally expect the depreciation

3. Bentleys (Especially Used)
- Massive initial depreciation ("lose 200 Grand in an afternoon")
- Significant maintenance issues after warranty expires
- Expensive components and repairs
- Parts availability becomes an issue with age

4. Rolls-Royce
- Mentioned as an example of expensive cars ($600, 000) that break frequently
- High maintenance costs
- Reliability issues

5. Older Luxury Cars with Complex Technology
- Issues with aging technology
- Expensive to repair
- Outdated features
- Parts becoming unavailable
- Complex powertrains that are expensive to maintain

many of these issues are particularly problematic for second and third owners, as manufacturers primarily focus on the original owner's experience during the first 3-4 years of ownership.

Car makers have swapped out quality and reliability for unreliable tech, crappy build quality, shorter lifespans and are overpriced..

Doug is the Kida guy who will give you the ins and outs of how to buy a supercar while looking like a guy that's never been in a car.

[ANGRYREDOWL]

Doug is the kinda guy that can afford a haircut but won't get one.

Got a Lexus IS500, 1 year old 16k miles for $54k. Could not be happier, I love the “old” tech in the car, everything I need, nothing I don’t

[jessef.]

is the calmest I've seen Doug. is a good podcast.

Once Luxury cars meant reliability, today Luxury cars are a joke regarding reliability.

I always wanted a 550 S Class Benz, Black on Black. I got one that was 4 years old, it had been returned after a 4 year lease. I bought it for half the sticker price. It even came with the window sticker price. I had the car for over ten years. I did all of the oil changes myself. The only issue I ever had was the shocks kept breaking down and the air pump. I took them out and put regular shocks and never had an issue again. The ride was still nice and smooth. I was going to sell it at 100k miles but pushed it to 110k and now it overheats and needs an engine rebuild. I think I got my money's worth out of the car and if I can't fix it for cheap I'm going to have to junk it or sell it for similar junkyard price. I won't be getting another one because I want something different. I also don't regret owning one because it was one my affordable dream cars and it served me well.

When bought my GLE 350. It was somewhere close to 3 years old. It had 32000 miles and one minor accident. It was in great condition still under factory warranty and i paid 30, 000 less than MSRP. I've had it close to six years now with no issues.

Should’ve named this episode “what happened to the manual transmission” or “master class
Commercial”. I’m still wondering what’s the worst car to buy.

[riccochet]

Technology is what's going to make all these modern cars worthless in the future. No one is going to want to restore a 2015 S-Class Mercedes in 2040. Not like a 1982 300CD which can still fetch $60-80k in restored condition. Classic cars will always be valuable due to their simplicity.

Doug is a class act. He is also extremely knowledgeable but keeps an air of fun to his delivery.

I missed the part about "The worst cars to buy"

[peterobertson]

Am sticking with my 15 year old Lexus LS 460. Before too much tech ruined the driving experience. Plus, it depreciates very minimally, plus, it never has any problems.

[PAIDFOR]

I bought a 2009 lexus RX350 in 2019 with 150, 000 miles. It now has 200, 000 miles with no problems at all. Paid $8, 500 also got the $44, 000 window sticker from the original owner. No need to spend 60k to I press you neighbors. Guess what they DONT CARE what you drive.

[enfantterrible]

the fact that newer supercars arent manual anymore is also because entry level Ferraris and McLarens have gotten so insanely fast that shifting gears manually while flooring it would be completely overwhelming

I previously worked for a millionaire, and during a personal conversation, he mentioned that all the vehicles he owned were leased. He explained that they performed flawlessly during the initial “honeymoon phase, ” but once they reached 20, 000 miles, they needed to be replaced.

I think the biggest crime with new car technology is coding individual components to the VIN, some of which are one time and can't be recoded. It really hurts the value of used ones and salvage value because the electronics can't be resold or cheaply sourced and have to be gotten new from OE and coded from a dealer.
