A mechanic with over 55 years of experience is urging car shoppers to steer clear of one type of vehicle, claiming you can get others similar in price are better value in the long run.

On a video shared on his Youtube channel, he explained the pit falls of the extra seating: "Generally, to get a third row, you pull a little lever which opens a space for you to slide into the third row," he said. "The problem starts once you throw something like a car seat in the mix, which is something you commonly see in a family-sized vehicle like this.

Later in the video, Scotty also highlighted that, whilst many motorists buy the latest SUV models because of their trendy styling, they often don't hold their value as well as other types of cars do on the used market.
