The mechanic named German cars that are not worth buying.

Some can turn out to be a real 'stone around the neck' for their owners due to high maintenance costs. Automotive expert Chris Pyle shared interesting thoughts on this.

Volkswagen Golf GTI

'The model is known for its heavy handling on the road — driving on the highways is very exhausting. Add to this the costly repairs that occur too often due to common engine and transmission failures',

Porsche Cayenne GTS

A luxurious car with high speed, all-wheel drive, and anti-lock braking system. However, this model faces engine and transmission issues, and parts for it are not only expensive but also hard to find.

Mercedes-Benz CLC

'This model has strange brake-related problems that arise without cause and warning. Frequent gear shift lever jams and the need for repairs only at a dealership make it a choice not for everyone',

Audi RS6 Avant

New versions of the Audi RS6 Avant are very expensive, so if you find an offer at a low price, it might be worth considering why the owner was able to find it.
