Used Cars That Mechanics Say Aren’t Worth the Money
34. Ford Edsel - $3,310
Ford called the Edsel the "car of the future," but it didn't sell well. The price was the key selling factor, and the fact that it was expensive to make made people think it was of high quality. But consumers quickly found several problems with it. The car was pricey, badly constructed, and not well-timed. People thought the design was unattractive. It only made cars for two years, which isn't very long for a "car of the future."
33. Pontiac Aztek - $3,415
Some people think the Aztek is one of the worst automobiles ever, and Thrillist calls it "the biggest failure in automotive history." There are a number of reasons why it's so well-known, but its looks are the most important. People say it's one of the ugliest cars ever made because it's a strange minivan crossover. The car was just as good as any other car, yet it didn't sell well.
Most purchasers didn't like the look since it was too flashy for something that was handled so poorly. In short, it was just too ugly to sell well before it was put away.
