The car selector has mentioned which cars are best avoided on the secondary market. Some models can cause too many problems for new owners and force them to spend a pretty penny for repairs.
As Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports with reference to Artem Zaitsev, a car picker from Krasnodar, there are models that cannot be taken without diagnosis. “First of all, these are ‘robot cars with one clutch: Peugeot 1007, Toyota Corolla, LADA Vesta, Opel Astra H,’” said the expert.
“Then several cars with problematic automatic transmissions: the same Peugeot (with AL4 transmission and EP6 engine), Renault (DP0). They are simple, repairable, but they have no normal resource at all. Everything runs and flows there, there are many miscalculations in the unit. Therefore, it is better not to take Peugeot and Renault with these boxes,” said Zaitsev.
The selector noted that the bodywork of some old “Chinese” cars is very susceptible to rotting, and some models cannot be purchased without endoscopy. “For example Kia Cerato, Kia Optima, Hyundai ix35, Kia K5, Kia Sportage. The latest Korean engines suffer from wear (some power units suffer from this with a mileage of up to 100,000 km). So it is better to buy after serious engine diagnostics,” he emphasized.
