Name a car you will never buy again.

For me, any GM products. I had a 1991 Jimmy that was the biggest POS I have ever owned. The dealership was a joke and that made my decision. 2009 only solidified my stance.

Just my $0.02
 
Never again?
Anything GM. Other than that we've had good experiences with everything we've owned including a a couple of Fords and a VW.
Yeah, the MGB required a lot of fiddling, but anyone who bought one not expecting this was a fool.
My opinion of GM products has been strongly reinforced by the awful experience we've had with a bought new GMC half ton in the fleet at work. This included a crate motor required at less than 70K. GM should have warrantied this but of course did not.
Some poor soul will buy this vehicle when it goes to auction. If anyone had owned this thing personally they would have had to take the hit and trade it in. Yes, it really has been that bad and the saga continues with an irreparable vapor lock condition. Irreparable per the factory service bulletin on it.

Buick Lacrosse. Old ones with the 3800.

Transmission went out at 143k. Had it rebuilt and at 149k the lower intake gasket went out and wiped my bearings. I was PO'd.

Never buying American again. Enjoying my Civic to much.

To be fair, the OP is in sales and thus every flip has to make money. Whereas for me it's a depreciating asset but likely owned for a long time, with money lost being justified as an "operating" cost.

Anyhow. Probably everything domestic. Although given all the complaints of late, anything imported too.
 
F-150s. For how Ford handled my truck.

You cannot expect someone to buy a $70k truck and stick them in an Edge for months while they have not a clue. Some people (like myself) do really enjoy the finer amenities... leather, top-tier B&O sound system, sunroof, heated/cooled seats, etc... but also use the truck numerous times a week as a truck.
 
So, I’ve had 3 Nissans and 1 Toyota. All trucks and BOF suv variants. But I drive a Volkswagen CC 2.0 T as a company car. That thing is such junk. It has 130,000 plus, leaks oil non stop, has an oil pressure light that comes on every time you drive it, it misfires, and it’s green. I’m surprised it hasn’t blown up yet. It’s a shop car and gets used as such. Occasionally I run for parts or pick up customers with it. The oil pressure light is believed to be a sensor issue. So there’s that. It just got it oil changed a few weeks ago, and I top it off as needed.
