ATTENTION: My great grandfather started in the auto business over 80 years ago, which means I was brought up hearing about cars all the time! Which is good for you, because I am now passing on the information.

The following article will reveal the most unreliable vehicles from model years 1998 to 2005 and alert you to those that have been problematic. This data is compiled by Consumer Reports and ConsumerReports.org readers from April 1, 2004 until March 31st 2005 (the next report comes out in April 2007). This is highly valuable and cost saving information, as you don' t want to buy a car with problems with the transmission or cooling system because these can be serious and expensive to repair. In this first part I will tell you the most unreliable used cars; in the second part I will tell you the most reliable used cars. Read both parts one and two in order to make the most educated buying decision possible. Please feel free to use this information as you wish, brought to you by honest dealers at Ourisman Hyundai in Marlyland.

Why avoid the following used cars?
There are hundreds of cars that you should avoid buying--but the following list of cars are models that you MUST avoid because these models have shown multiple years of much worse than average Used Car Verdicts. They have regularly shown more problems than most models each production year, so do yourself and others a favor and help keep them off the road.
BMW 7 Series BMW X5 (V8) Chevrolet Blazer Chevrolet Express 1500 Chevrolet S-10 (4WD) Chevrolet TrailBlazer Chevrolet Venture Chrysler Town & Country (AWD) Dodge Grand Caravan (AWD) GMC Envoy GMC Jimmy GMC Safari GMC Savana 1500 GMC Sonoma (4WD) Jaguar S-Type Jaguar X-Type Kia Sedona Land Rover Discovery Lincoln LS Lincoln Navigator Mercedes-Benz CLK Mercedes-Benz E-Class (V8) Oldsmobile Alero Oldsmobile Bravada Oldsmobile Silhouette Pontiac Aztek Pontiac Trans Sport/Montana Saturn Vue (AWD) Volkswagen Cabrio Volkswagen Jetta Volkswagen New Beetle Volkswagen Passat Wagon (V6) Volvo XC90
There you have it. The must know list of used cars to avoid from an honest hyundai auto dealer in Maryland. These are the cars that have regularly shown more problems than most models each production year, so do yourself and others a favor and help keep them off the road. Too many times, consumers don't understand the details of the cars they are buying, so I hope from this list readers can make an educated buying decision on their next purchase. Stay tuned for part two, the list of cars that are good bets to buy.
