You sound like a very responsible driver.
So, don’t crucify me, but we’re looking for a truck. We’re not truck people, but the utility of a truck will suit our lifestyle well. This was the first time in my life that I’ve considered a US brand, and we were looking at a Ram 1500. It seems to be the darling of the truck world. But, I think we’ve decided on a Nissan Titan. Just kinda looking for the best deal on a new one right now.
Post your car pics.
I had a 1992 Camry from the time I was 16. It lasted until I got a Ford F-150 in 2008. My Dad bought that Toyota new, and used to swear by their quality but they started having some issues when I was looking for a new car. I loved that 92, it was built so well, but the AC failed and no one had parts for it; to fix it would have cost more than it was worth.
The F-150 is fairly solid, but I’ve always had and still have a spot for Toyota.
Edit: I’ve been toying with buying a 3rd car, something mainly to drive to work and back since the Ford takes $45-$50 to fill up. If I did, I would first look at another Toyota.
God damn... that sounds horrible. Thanks for the heads up. I have been deep in research, and haven’t heard of anything like that happening on the Titan, but that’s some BS man, yikes! May have to continue researching a bit longer.
For what purpose? They’re all slow cars that you hate.
So you suck dick in slow motion. Goooooooood tooooo knooooooooow.
Man, your expectations are shit. You HOPE they last 5 years? That’s a very very low bar.
Also, if the good cars cost too much...buy them two years old. POW. There’s the price difference. Instead of a brand new Kia just get a three year old Honda. I don’t know why people insist on new cars as it almost never makes any fiscal sense. Some cars become increasingly less practical to own as they age, I admit, just avoid those cars. Don’t buy a A8 or a S55 or minivans with power doors, etc and you won’t have bonkers bills later. The only time it makes sense to buy new is when you have a limited window to buy a specific car or option that owners tend to keep a long time. I bought a new TDI Sportwagon in 2014 for this reason. When I got my Fit though I just went Certified Preowned. They make SO MANY F150s and Civics there will never be an issue finding a good one a year or two later with low mileage.
I agree that the Pentastar is the way to go. They invested in a low cost design instead of just throttling their suppliers to keep the cost down.
Either way...if we were talking $10K+ savings apples for apples buying used, I'd bite. Honestly, with the way new car prices are heading...I'll be forced to buy used sooner or later anyway.
I really hope we're done buying cars for a long while...I really don't want to do that again anytime soon.
You could of picked up the part used on ebay and had the AC up and running for cheap.
Porsche
Let me see those keys.
Plane ticket to Stuttgart to see me pick it up in May.
I want to see your pipe smoke.
