A trusted motor expert has been thanked for warning fellow drivers against three cars that will cost colossal sums to repair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scotty Kilmer, who enjoyed a career as a car mechanic spanning more than 55 years, now shares his pearls of wisdom with an audience of 5.9 million users on YouTube.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In one of his latest videos, Kilmer singled out three single cars as being one of the \u201cleast reliable\u201d to buy as a \u201cdaily driver”, as they are the most expensive to repair.<\/p>\n
According to the auto expert, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Jeep Wrangler, and Dodge Challenger cost drivers mammoth sums in reparations.<\/p>\n
He warned his viewers that the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is simply terrible because \u201cthey fall apart\u201d, adding: \u201cDon\u2019t buy the Alfa and drive it 30,000 miles a year unless you want bottomless money pit bills.\u201d<\/p>\n
