Excellent work, with a CK.
My two cents:
1. Definition of money pit: something on which you keep having to spend a lot of money, especially when it may be a waste of money. Meaning, despite expense, you don’t get output. A good example would be the Disco3 with the air suspension. When the suspension fails, you spend a lot to fix it, only for it to fail again even when driven carefully and so on. Or a Jaguar whose transmission always requires expensive repairs and keeps failing. Or a diesel Touareg that keeps getting clogged DPF and injectors: very costly to fix and will keep getting clogged because of our low quality diesel.
2. There are cars that are costly to maintain, but are not necessarily money pits. A good example is the Mercedes S class. Routine maintenance parts and consumables are not cheap. I wouldn’t classify this car as a money pit; this car gives you excellent service between the maintenance intervals. The fact that you can buy it relatively cheap doesn’t mean the maintenance is cheap. It remains to be a luxury vehicle and the owner must have the means to maintain and run it.
3. Then there are cars that join the money pit list due to abuse. For example, a manual transmission Corolla could become a money pit if the driver has the habit of resting his left foot on the clutch or holding the car on a hill using the clutch. Or a Mercedes S class that is constantly driven very fast on potholed roads.
4. Guys should not fear buying used German cars - only avoid certain models (e.g 6 cylinder versions of the small sedans or diesel versions), beware that their maintenance can be involving and the schedule needs to be strictly followed; and that you need to carefully select what you buy (pre purchase inspection is mandatory.
we eeeeh content hapa imeenda shule
This is quite informative,if I may ask,so among the European brands Mercedes Benz is the better brand?
Best way to do pre-purchase inspections for these Germans? Esp Audis
@@brianmwirigi200 it is difficult to give a yes or no answer. Many factors to consider. Generally Mercs (and other competitors such as BMW and Audi/VW) are solid cars. However Mercs from 1998 to 2007 can be troublesome with electrical glitches and mechanical faults. Then specific models can be troublesome. Example is the GLC (X253). But generally they are solid.
@@theelephant5974 this is where with a CK comes in. He is the expert. Computer diagnostics is a must (to look for error history).
good content!! appreciated for the knowledge!
You really help a lot of us out here. Thank you!!
I love your reviews...Thank you for always educating us....Can you do cars that are not money pits please?
I work in the gulf region na hizi magari umetaja ndio zimejaa kwa garages. Watu wa break down services have been put in business by German cars and nissan

Wokabi you reviewed the Volvo V60 polestar...would you recommend the v60 rdesign 2015...1600cc?..you haven't mentioned volvos as money-pits but umesema tuogope European cars.
thanks for the warnings.
Good lesson i can't miss
I was driving a company Nissan Navara and wueh that car very stable on the road, fast but when it starts Turbo problems, engine problems utalia. We changed Turbo 3 times and eventually had to change the whole engine at 550k. Nissan Navara DC keep off. I am not sure how the zero mileage units by Nissan are performing.

Thanks for the part two information. So sisi watu wa peugeot tuko sawa.
hello brother,can you please explain more about the Toyota wish because I really need to buy this vehicle
Thanks Erick.💪💪💪
Remember Kenyans, you are buying 8 year old cars as "new", that being the case just avoid 8 year old European cars unless you hate money.
🤣
Hahaha
Bana 8 yrs how🙆🏾♂️
Bitter truth manze 🤦
😂😅

Hi CK, kindly review Volvo V40 T4
hey can you advice on the mistubishi lancer evo x
Nice video.. What about volvos
The MacBook MagSafe chargers age like they've been chewed on. I'm curious as to how many times you've replaced yours.
Bro, those are money pits 🤣
😂
Erick please review the new Suzuki jimny
@Canversations what can you say on reliability of mercedes cls class.
I was your biggest stone thrower on the money pit part one( especially on the Volkswagen), but after doing my local research on the people who own these VW and from mechanics am almost convinced. But still doing more research
What's your take on VW polos..Used second hand?
Very true...Hakuna mtu hukwambia gari sio poa btw keep up the good work
Thank you!
I've owned 3 (2002 330i manual 5 speed, 2004 545i V8 manual 8 speed, and 2011 X5 xdrive 35i twin power turbo). The 02 330i was the sweetest thing ever, I traded it in at 435,000 kilometers, was still running like new. The 5 series 545i died on me nikaiwacha kwa garage, never looked back. The X5 failed a couple of times; rear airbags and fuel pump, it ran like a dream. All this repairs were done at the dealership ONLY!!! Costs a lot but hakuna kubahatisha, they know the faults in their cars.
Review also these cars Honda life 660cc, Daihatsu mira 660cc, Mazda CX-5 diesel,xtrail latest model in engine mounting and townace latest model 3sz_ve,
Hi Eric, maze i keep waiting on ua releases kama ya Kibe hahaaaaa, nways any word on Honda Family? Especially Honda Stepwagn Spada... please advice Sir (ama fan ako na idea on this machine)
Hi ERICK, i would like you to do a chevrolet review.
I agree with you 100%.
Can you review Honda Freed and Honda Spike

What about Nissan wingroad 2015 is it reliable when it comes to its engine
Bring us a review of the Suzuki jimmy tafadhali 🙏
My Nissan Tiida cvt gearbox (secondhand) goes for 35k hapo river road. I dunno where you got the 80k price for Nissan March cvt gearbox
AUDI is a great car,just don't tinker with it if you don't know what you're doing. Know where to get your parts. Erick,You're doing great with your channel. Keep it up.
After 75K miles, Audi electronics tend to become quite messed up and very expensive to fix, with repetitive trips to the mechanic.....
Do you video on vauxhall insignia please
What about Volvo esp. xc60 and xc90 families, thanks.
Hello Eric, thanks for the video. These cars are really expensive to maintain. Only have them if pocket good. On the other side they are fun, safe and give status. Lets leave dem for the rich.
Hi Eric,
My name is TIM. Your info and advice on matters cars are quite informative and technically genuine just to say the least.
Kindly comment about Hondas especially CRV and Stream in terms of their reliability (common problems}, performance and fuel consumption. I am a fun of Honda and hope to own one in the near future. Thanks.
You're doing good job bro, keep it up please do a review on Peugeot 3007 ,3008 thanks about maintainability and if it's a money pit?.
Would love a review of the same too.
Indeed. Including Peugeot 208

@@Sir_John001 can you help with the video link please
Kindly do a review of Mark X Zio
I drove from Birmingham to London this afternoon, and out of the 4 breakdowns i saw, 3 were beamers! They look nice but...now i'm sceptic. Tena here in the UK, they all tend to be new. I will be staying away when i can afford that type of car.
I have a range rover house. Iyo gari imenisumbua na engine. Saa hii iko just ya mawe. Intending to replace the engine block and sell it pronto. It's been a money pit for me.
what's your take on Nissan serena ya 2015?
Boss great content kama kawa shida tu you keep discouraging me on Nissans. I really love the Teana xl compared to izi Toyota axio n premio coz ni kenya uniform but is alright
My neighbor has a very beautiful 2015 BMW X5 but haitokangi parking lot.
Maybe muisukume
Slay
@@geoffreymbugua9217 😂
Review ya Toyota alphards ningoje kwa tent gani?..money pits,underrated 7seater ama best alternatives ya family options?
I love BWM, like you do. In my next life I will a BMW engine. The B58 engine. Turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, The one in the M*40i series vehicles, the new Toyota Supra, the Ineos Grenadier and even rumoured to grace one of the new Range Rovers. After all the 4.4L V8 2022 range rover runs on a BMW power plant.. I mean it can't be that bad. And I will stick to petrol, not that the desiel engine is bad, but rather that our diesel has a high sulphur content plus lots of other crude stuff not suitable for the euro 6 spec engines.
This is one of the most reliable motor in bmw lineage today ...the only common issue is the crankcase ventilation built-in the cylinder head cover, getting blocked and you have to replace the entire cylinder head cover due to hissing noise from engine compartment and tonnes of white smoke from exhaust...esp with 2016...2017 models
Hello ...ebu talk about toyota hiace....
How's the chevrolet captiva, for a second owner?
What aboult Jaguar and Landrover which should be topping your list.
Please do a review on Peugeot
Very informative video.
Is BMW 318i (locally assembled) money pit as well or is it a good car?
Kindly, help me out
Im following this comment....i have my eye on 90's E36 318i
3:13 hahah, I've been seeking to answer this question desperately. Why DRL on a very sunny or well-lit day? 😅
Because in Europe, its the law to aid in visibility for other road users. Climates in Europe means it can be dull even during the day
Eric what's your take on this two cars, Suzuki grand Vitara/Escudo and Mitsubishi Outlander in regards to money pitting. And where does Volvo fall?
Please comment coz I am about to buy a 2008 one
Thanks ALOT brother for your educative videos.. I would like to know the pocket friendly cars available in the Kenyan markets? Make videos about these..
What of nissan advan
And please talk of the gearbox
Tells talk about Volkswagen Passat 1999 is a good like BMW 19S
Did you have to talk about my favourite bmw x3😓 anyway thanks for the insight, I was about to pit my money🤣
What about SUZUKI ALTO? is it great?
how about the c250 2010-2017
Kindly do some analysis on Toyota Probox cars both Manual & Aut transmission.
Thank you for the review. I have a friend who bought an Audi at 0 mileage and now he's on Toyota. Please review a mini Cooper
Hawa watu wananunua Audi na VW kwa IBK watajua hawajui😃
Mini has bmw engine...shinda tupu run away
@@ericich.5769 please tell me more. Because I love mini coopers I don't want to make a mistake
@@francisakatu6025 mini Cooper used to be UK car made, it was bought by BMW in 2000 since then u can now say its Germany not British....problem started then, Europe cars are good when new after 5yrs they need proper maintenance which unfortunately in Kenya people Don't bother to do ,otherwise If u r buying an old mini be ready to run your pockets dry ..unless u buy brand new zero milage.
Well said, hapo umeongea kama wazee watatu .
Do review ya toyota mark x family.
Coming soon
Aki I was about to buy a Nissan march chei
Quick one, How reliable is the Mercedes B180?
Please tell us the best Nissan to buy
Is Nissan note cvt gear box
How about the Mercedes Benz C200 or C180
What about the Land Rover family, i.e Discovery, RR Sport, RR Vogue and RR Evoque. Are they money pits as well?
Don't touch those one 😂😂😂
I would suggest you be specific especially for the Benz. Yes there were engines within some certain years that were problematic but also there are those that are reliable
So poorly done. Not even amateur. No research prior to the shoot
He mentioned those that ain't reliable
@@mosesmuthii3420 and they were all lies.
@@WilliamGatoto wacha feelings he mentioned the engines that are unreliable
@@newtonmutea well none are unreliable. That’s why I say we comment from facts. Not hearsay. Research is where the dealer says based on their knowledge and experience. Bonoko parts will fail any car.
Very educative...kon biased....
Let him who has ears.. listen 👂
I have had experiences with German cars and what he is saying is very right..!
Looking for a comment on c250 V6
Talk about any VW with 1400cc tsi twin turbo and super charger engine. Pure problems especially if you fuel at any petrol station.
