    You see all this remarkable evidence of fire damage all over the place, the completely smoked out interior and the switch in story from when it first happened. Nobody bought that story the first time, or the story when the truck hit the railings, or when the veloster turned up smashed in a scrapyard remarkably close to where you lived, or the horrid noises the 500 made.

    When my mother was growing up, my grandparents owned a 1976 AMC Gremlin. The best memory she had was that the front doors couldn't open. So her family (including her three brothers) had to cram themselves through the back glass hinged window. Had the same color as the word that describes it.

    (not actual vehicle but close enough)

    I loved those cars, but most people don't take care of them.

    2014 Ford Focus SE
    Reverse only worked when it wanted to, incredibly harsh shifts. Took it to the dealer every single week for clutch replacements and TCM reflashes
    Photo is the exact car. you can find it in google maps

    Exact car meaning the exact car you bought from the dealer?
    And yeh, "we" (again) used to have a Ford Focus, it broke down 6 times, and when I electronically winded the window down, it wouldn't come back up, we removed the door panel, and there was a piece of wood holding the window up.
    I swear to mother of jimbolushi that every car we get is absolute rubbish.

    I don't even have a car, but my dad had a Mitsubishi Mirage as a rental car, and he said it was the worst car he ever drove. Very unreliable.

    I need to think about it because in my family we have always had reliable cars, 2 stand out though above the rest

    As for an old car I think my mums 1980s Jetta I am not sure if it was a first or second generation model but it had been dragged through a bush backwards a good couple of times it was unreliable in a sense of being very old

    But more recently the 2009 Jaguar XF because of the DPF on it because it clogged up every 2 weeks and it was a big disappointment thankfully I only drove it once or twice moving it around so I didnt get the full picture of "Limp home" mode cutting in right when you went for an overtake

    How was he able to tell if it was reliable/unreliable when the only thing he did was rent it?

    I'm looking for one of these, and i honestly don't care what condition it would be in. how much would you sell it for? (i know you said you wouldn't, but like i said, i honestly don't care what condition it's in.)

    Automatic transmission wasn't excellent, did the job.
    but the A/C Fan failed 4 times! the electrics were a nightmare (sometimes if it was a wet night the radio would not work in the morning) and there was a leak in the roof sometimes

    Look I'm poor and never drove a car but I think owning any cheap 80's-90's sports car like Camaro's, Porsche's, and BMW's just look at 24 hours of Lemons

    When my family visited Vancouver, we rented a KIA Optima. That car was a load of crap... Absolutely terrifying, and awful to drive. The visibility sucked too, not to mention how crappy the interior felt.
