Survey Lists 10 Least Reliable Older Cars

A member survey conducted by Consumer Reports listed the top 10 older cars with the most problems. Although the CR article states that many of today’s cars can go 200,000 miles before any major repairs are needed, those surveyed experienced faulty transmissions, engines and head gaskets before hitting that milestone. If you have an old car that is no longer reliable, sell it to Gershow Recycling and get cash for your junk car.


The least reliable older vehicles, according to the survey, included the 2013 Nissan Sentra, the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, the 2008 GMC Acadia, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, the 2010 GMC Terrain, the 2014 Ford Focus, the 2010 Jeep Wrangler, the 2014 Infiniti QX60, the 2012 Nissan Maxima, and the 2012 Nissan Rogue.
If you are having problems with your junk car, don’t waste money trying to get it fixed. Gershow will come to tow away your car and pay you cash on the spot. Every year, Gershow buys thousands of junk vehicles from hardworking Long Island residents and puts money back in their pockets.
Of all the problems with their older vehicles, the members said their biggest complaint was with the transmission, according to the survey. Those cars with the most transmission issues were the 2001 Honda Odyssey, the 2003 Acura TL, the 2002 Acura MDX, the 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser, the 2002 Ford Escape, the 2002 Mazda Tribute and the 2004 Ford Focus. If you are looking to sell your junk car, call the experts at Gershow. They will buy your unwanted car, regardless of its age or condition. And if your junk car is more than eight years old, no title is needed.
If you are continuing to pay insurance on that old junk car, or if it is too expensive to repair, stop paying and call Gershow. They will put money in your pocket. Gershow is the real deal, the actual recycler. Gershow has nine locations conveniently located in Brooklyn, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Had an older vehicle that I could maybe get 3 to 600 books for but we all know the hassle of selling something that's an old car and you might have issues finding the darn title etc etc...
Well have no fear I gave these guys a call and within 10 minutes they texted me an offer which was about 50 to 100 bucks more than other offers I received. Within two or three days and independent flatbed driver on their behalf came to my driveway to pick up the vehicle and had the agreed upon cash in hand for me. Great process and definitely recommend these guys.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the awesome review about our services, Glen . We’re so pleased to hear your kind words, I’ll make sure to pass on your encouraging words. Enjoy your day!

I recently used Gershow Recycling to scrap my Hyundai Elantra, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the very first phone call, their team was professional, courteous, and transparent about the process. They offered me a very fair price for the car, which was better than I expected, and there were no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
What really stood out was how quickly they arranged the pickup. They were prompt, organized, and kept me informed every step of the way. The driver who came to pick up the vehicle was friendly, professional, and incredibly easy to deal with, making what could have been a stressful situation completely hassle-free.
The whole process, from getting a quote to having the car removed, was smooth, efficient, and seamless. It’s rare these days to find a company that makes things this easy while still providing excellent customer service. I highly recommend Gershow Recycling to anyone looking to scrap a vehicle quickly and fairly. Great experience from start to finish!
