If you're shopping used in 2024-2025, this video could save you from the biggest financial mistake of your life.

Anyone shopping for used SUVs or compact cars

First-time buyers looking at affordable options under $15k
Current owners wondering why their car lost value so fast
Anyone who thinks "it's a great deal" on one of these vehicles

⚠️ WHY DEALERS ARE DESPERATE TO DUMP THESE CARS:
Dealerships pay daily floorplan interest on unsold inventory. When a car sits for 60, 90, or 120+ days, they're bleeding money. These eight models have become so notorious for problems that informed buyers won't touch them, forcing dealers to slash prices—and even then, they still can't sell them. That "amazing deal" you're seeing? It's a desperate attempt to offload a vehicle they know will come back as a trade-in nightmare.

📊 SHOCKING US MARKET STATISTICS:
Average days on lot for normal used car: 32 days
Average days on lot for Ford Focus: 127 days
Nissan Rogue CVT failure rate: 34% before 100k miles
Jeep Cherokee 9-speed transmission issues: 68% of owners report problems
Land Rover Discovery Sport 5-year depreciation: 72% value loss
Chrysler 200 resale value: Lowest in entire sedan segment

🔧 THE REAL PROBLEMS DEALERS WON'T TELL YOU:
CVT Transmission Failures - Nissan Rogue CVTs self-destruct at 60-80k miles ($4,500-$7,000 replacement)
Dual-Clutch Disasters - Ford Focus DCT judders, stalls, and leaves you stranded ($3,800+ fix)
9-Speed Transmission Hell - Jeep Cherokee's won't shift properly, even after multiple reprogrammings
Timing Chain Failures - GMC Acadia engines eat themselves ($3,500-$6,000 repair)
Electrical Nightmares - Land Rover's British electronics fail in ways mechanics can't diagnose
Build Quality Issues - Jeep Compass falls apart faster than any competitor

💸 THE TRUE COST OF "CHEAP" CARS:
That $8,995 Nissan Rogue seems like a steal until the CVT fails at 72k miles for $6,200. That $12,500 Jeep Cherokee looks tempting until you've paid $4,800 for transmission reprogramming that doesn't fix anything. That $14,995 Land Rover Discovery Sport? You'll spend more on repairs in year one than the entire purchase price.
