Keep any vehicles from Japan 🇯🇵…..
Stay away from Korean brand™️ KIA as well as anything Hyundai.
As Japanese vehicles age - they lose value a lot.
The Honda’s/Toyota’s/Subarus/Etc. will hold their values better.

This isn't a brand, but many people, including me, have problems with the first version of a re-designed model. I will never again buy a first model year redesign. Too many recalls, glitches, and in my case, problems that could never be fixed.

Why are they "great cars" if they need so much $$$ maintenance?

Mercedes. 4-5 years is probably ok, but I had one that I held onto for 7.5 years, and the last year it needed about $4000 of work, and that doesn't include oil changes or new tires every two years.

Which brands would you not want to own when they are more than 3-4 years old?
