20 Worst Used Cars to Buy (Avoid These Money Pits)

8. Nissan Pathfinder (2005–2010)

This generation of Pathfinders often faces radiator leaks into the transmission, causing complete drivetrain failure. Fixing this can cost more than the car’s market value.

9. Chevrolet Aveo (2004–2011)

This subcompact might be cheap to buy, but it’s also cheaply built. Expect timing belt issues, failing water pumps, and anemic performance. Safety ratings are also well below average.
