Five (5) used car to avoid!

Five (5) used car to avoid!

According to CBS Money Watch dot COM used car shopping used to be a scary maze of breakdown-prone models, but reliability has gained sharply. Auto manufacturing quality and dependability studies have shown steady gains this decade. But exceptions do exist and if you're in the market for a used car, you want to steer clear of them.

So CBS MoneyWatch.com has compiled a list of used cars to avoid in five categories, focusing on 2007 models-the year from the latest J.D. Power and Associates dependability study. Buying a three-year-old car also lets you shop after the bulk of depreciation has taken place.

Here's the used car to avoid:

Small Used Car to Avoid: Volkswagen New Beetle

Mid-Size Used Car to Avoid: Chrysler Sebring

Small Used SUV to Avoid: Jeep Wrangler

Mid-Size SUV to Avoid: GMC Acadia

Used Minivan to Avoid: Nissan Quest

This is just FYI only!
