I've looked for weeks in finding new car because the car my family has is going bad, websites, in-person, newspapers,phone calls to friends, etc. With negotiating with the financing company they said the car had to have less than 125,000 miles and 2016 or newer with these 2 limitations are a big deal because cars 2016-2019 in the used market are selling like hotcakes, I can't find a Mazda, Subaru, Toyota or Honda in my area that is within my price range and newer than 2016 with less than 125k miles I was considering buying a GM or Stellantis Product any recommendations? Because I am looking at Chevy cars right now. Thanks.

You'll be sorry.

No, there's a reason they sell them considerably cheaper than the other makes -they're very much unreliable. Last year my father-in-law rented a 2020 Dodge Journey while his Mitsubishi was being worked on, and there was already condensation on the inside of the headlights. He has a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 that still has the original headlights and there's still no condensation on the inside of the headlights. They're just faded as crap. When you can't even make a headlight properly, how on Earth would you trust a car to last very long?
If you have some more specific options, we could help. Generally speaking, in terms of reliability and longevity, it is better to go with Honda and Toyota, and maybe Subaru or Mazda, than anything else. Ford, GM, or Chrysler/Stellantis products are a little more challenging recommend.
Out of those three, my preference would generally be Ford first, then Chevy, then Chrysler/Stellantis as a distant last. But obviously my top choices would be Toyota and Honda.
With Ford specifically, I would look into four cylinder Fords with 2.0 to 2.5 L Duratec engines. No EcoBoost. No six cylinder. And ideally no GDI, although that may be hard.
Ford uses an older Mazda designed engine for their naturally aspirated 4 cylinder, the Mazda L Engine.
When Ford and Mazda went their separate ways, Mazda took the engine and modified it to make SkyActiv 4 cylinder engines, and Ford modified it to make EcoBoost Engines. I don’t know if it is the engineering or the design of the Ford version, but just stay away from EcoBoost engines.
What country?
