Why are second-hand Jeep Compasses so cheap?

[EllianaLee]

Reasons why second-hand Jeeps are cheap: 1. The most important factor is the brand. American cars generally have much lower resale value compared to Japanese and German cars of the same class. However, what makes it worse is that Jeep is a marginalized American brand in China. Under this double blow, the resale value of the Compass is particularly low. Additionally, the number of Compasses on the road is far fewer than that of Japanese cars in the same class, and the number of vehicles in circulation also significantly affects resale value. 2. The Compass's questionable quality control, with the three major components (engine, transmission, and chassis) being less reliable. Common issues include oil burning, transmission noise, sunroof noise, severe rear wheel bearing wear, noise from the passenger-side B-pillar, and rattling of the door frame exterior trim when driving over bumps.
