i started thinkin that the second part of the OP was more interesting. basically anything people dont list is not a great purchase. maybe we didnt need to waste money on a bunch of that stuff in the first place.

I once owned a Corvair. Top that!
My 62 Corvair Monza was a total piece of shit:
The hood (actually luggage compartment lid) flew off on the freeway and sailed neatly through the passenger side of the windshield of a moving van behind me. A few feet to the left and the driver would have been decapitated.
The front end would start shaking uncontrollably for no apparent reason and I'd have to hit the brakes hard.
The steering would come loose from the steering box and I could spin the steering wheel with the car going in a straight line.
All the wiring in the car caught on fire.
I had to take off the distributor cap and sand the points before I could start it up in the morning.
I went through about 15 batteries.
The brakes failed in an intersection and I T-boned a camper with two really old people in it, knocking it on its side. All their clothes, dishes, etc. flew out the back and into the street, only to get run over by heavy traffic.
I fried several clutches.
The mount holding the driver's seat broke, for no apparent reason, and It fell into the back seat on the freeway.
The engine caught on fire twice because the carburetors were flooding with gas.
A wheel came off three times for no apparent reason.
The distributor wires were forever popping off the spark plugs.
