Most Reliable Cars Under $5K

Toyota and Honda best new car make a great used car

Focus as a reliable car tf?

Everyone I've ever asked says Ford focus is risky

If you live in any sizeable metro area,then these prices are completely unavailable. I had to go out way country to find a cheap Corolla,and it's rusted and beat up🙁but runs great😊but $5000 in the city? No way!

I'm a dealer so I see the wholesale prices day by day. All those prices are salvage title or down payments. They all sell for more than listed here at dealer auctions. Trust me, I'm there watching them roll by.

Not sure where your source for pricing comes from, but any or all of these vehicles are twice as high out in Colorado with the one exception of 300K mile vehicles of which nobody wants .

Nissan VG33 engine.. REALLY? Not only that it gets horrible fuel mileage, but it couldn't get out of a wet paper bag. Random misfires and that's most likely the fuel injector nozzles. Just changing the spark plugs suck. The one in the back of the engine. Distributor has a 100% failure rate.

1st Gen Scion xB should’ve been top 3 on that list

The mark one focus I'm sorry, should have been on the list and not just an honorable mention the first genfocus. Like you said in the video their dirt cheap they're reliable. They're fun to drive and if you get one with a manual. And you can actually improve as a driver because that car will basically not hinder you. Hell, if you want to drift the cock sucker go ahead, just huck it into a turn going a little to fast The rear ends gonna step out. Not to mention the cars are extremely easy to work on and you can get the SVT or the 05 to 07 gen. You can get the ST which is just as fast as the. SVT But if that's still Not cutting it. The 2.5 out of the ford fusion 175 horsepower from factory can make 200 wheel with bolt on's and is a straight bolt in swap into the ford focus

I don't know why it's rarely included, but what about the early 2000s model of the panther car. IE Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis/Marauder, Lincoln Town Car? All were great cars with essentially mustang engines and actually get decent fuel mileage. Thanks for the video though!

get like literally any skoda from europe if you looking for gas mileage

2004-2008 Acura TL baby. Best car you can get with that money 100%!!!!

You've got to get the 8th Gen Civic. I regret not getting the Sedan though because it has more aftermarket support than the Coupe.

Scotty Kilmer has left the room. An 010 Corolla with 200+ K on the odo still sells for 10K in Canada, instead get the Yaris or 2 gen Prius, Used Civics are a hit or miss, I'd go for a Honda FIT. Nice Accords are also big money, especially the low mileage ones. Also be careful with used Camrys! Many we used as taxi cab / ride share, like Uber. Instead get a high mileage Matrix that's not rusted out. If you are a mechanic, get a BMW 3 series with a 6 cyl engine, The older ones re actually reliable. Stay away from older VW especially the made in Mexico models. Elantras can be fun and practical with the manual tranny. An Older CRV is viable, 2004, 05, 06, if you can find one that's not rusted to pieces. Avalons are nice and comfy + super reliable, but can be heavy on gas in city driving. Mazda 3 between 2010 and 2013 are avail for under 5k, Fun and reliable cars, plus comes in a hatchback, which is also practical.

Finally someone is giving the Avalon the love it deserves

Which is the ideal one?
MIATA 😂

This channel has always been full of themselves. Only idiots believe this garbage to be truthful.

these list are getting kinda boring........I need new entries in next videos... at least 3 to 4 that have not been mentioned before.....

Always forgetting the mid engine Corolla from 2000-2005, they have gotten more expensive in the last few years but a good manual that needs minor paint or seat covering can be had for under 5k, they run as long as the Corolla since the use the same engine and trans but they handle like a excelling everyday car enthusiasts' dream Lambo or Ferrari...don't buy the smt version as the automated manual was production forced to keep up with BMW smg and paddle shit/slap shift options becoming options on most upscale cars in the y2k era....before the r and d proved longevity THE FORGOTTEN zzw30 MR2 Spyder is a gem of a choice for anyone looking to feel exotic driving feel for barley more than Corolla type cash

My dad's first Avalon went 330k miles without costing him anything more than basic maintenance. His current Avalon is pushing 400k miles and still hasn't cost him much at all to own. It's not fun to drive, at all, but if you want miles for cheap, I'd recommend it highly.

Refer Hyundai santro xing

I gotta 2008 suzuki grand vitara for 7 grand. Look for Suzukis if you never wanna buy another car again😂

I’m probably gonna end up getting a rav 4 or a crv.

Miata is always… but I don’t think you can find decent Miata with less than 150k miles for $5k anymore (maybe auto).

I have an NB Miata but I cant or at least dont want to drive it in the winter. I want to keep its resell value to sell next year sadly

Acura RSX 1st & 2nd Gen

Scotty would love this list until you put the Xterra, Elantra and focus 😂

Miata is always the answer

I love my 2003 accord v6 coupe they're amazing

Can you guys do a :most reliable Truck or SUV for camping?

Everyone talks bad about the MK7 fiesta but tbh I've got one and it's a good bit of fun and I'm averaging high 30's to the gallon even though I'm riding at 80mph most times

You missed German 😂

03 ish 5.3l Tahoe will eat up 06 stock civic unless it is si 😅.
So yes get accord ex v6 enjoy staying ahead of 4x4 dad vans so u can see ahead 😅 drive safe

Targeting a car by generations or years is helpful. I try to get the latest version in the group to get improvements made by the mfr.

Im shocked to see the Nissan XTerra on the list!!!

The miata’s engine is actually kind of shit.
Made for a ff application so the coolant runs the wrong way

Any vehicle me is reliable when you put electrical tape over the CEL 😂

Those bars in the outro tho 🔥😂

Cmon, more recycled content?

you having a laugh, civic in small section. you start micro city car 2 two seat smart car, or toyota iQ as examples, small cars so fiesta, i20, clio, 208, med cars then civic , renault megane, focus. then large cars so mazda 6, mondeo, renault laguna, honda accord. huge cars ford Galaxy, Renault espace, landcruiser, rangerover, f150. lets not forget even in my life time the fiesta is as big as med car not so long ago. no idea why so many want big heavy car, more maintenance costs brakes tires and suspension even running costs and you no faster, light weight adds fun and much better and fun in the corners, you prob have extra section after huge cars supper size.

Great car 🚗

Where I live even the civics and corollas over 300K miles go for nearly 8 grand sadly. Also be careful what civic you pick, maybe I was just unlucky but I managed to blow 2 d17a1 engines in a 2003 civic lx in just under two years, even with proper maintenance.

PLEASE stop recycling these same list videos. Get some new fresh ideas or better yet I would rather see ONE really well thought-out video once a week, every two weeks or even once a month rather than a recycled list video every day. Quality OVER quantity.

Saab 900 turbo 3 door is damm reliable

Japanese reliability 👌

I Got My 2009 Infiniti G37x For 5200 , Super Reliable And Super Fun To Drive

Here we go again more recycled content

I have a 2007 Accord V6 fully loaded and it’s fun to drive and I drove it from Maryland to New York with no issues and on one tank I highly recommend buying one
