      Toyota is still the best you can buy. Even they have had a few hits to quality in the modern era, but they are still by far your best odds of getting a good vehicle. Toyota, Mazda, and Honda are still the best brands. Honda has taken a lot of hits as of late from oil dilution issues, but those can be solved with earlier oil changes or weekly highway rides for 30 mins or greater to burn off the excess gas in the oil.

      The issue is the ridiculous costs of the vehicles. Maybe if they didn't load them up with all these needless electronic gizmos, the companies could actually put out an affordable product. We need to go back to the Henry Ford philosophy. Keep it simple and reliable and sell lots of them to make a profit, not trying to milk each unit for maximum profit.
      As for the abominable Mach E, as the owner of a 2004 Mach 1, I couldn't agree more!!!

      It is pretty standard to do 7 year loans any more. My last car I financed was my 2016 Ford Focus and it was at 1.5% for a 7 year loan. Shorter terms were no cheaper so it was a no brainer. I ended up paying it off in 2.5 years, but if something happened like I lost my job or something like that, I wouldn't have as high a payment to worry about. I did have that issue with another car 0% but had to be paid off over 3 years. I lost my job for 6 months, in there and the new job paid 20% less, so I was in a world of hurt with that car payment.

      @markmccraley2559 3 місяці тому

      That is true, when I purchased my first Focus I had a 3 year 0% loan, but when I lost my job for 6 months, and lost 20% of my salary with the new job, it really hurt. My next car I got a 7 year loan, but paid it back in about 2.5 years. The interest rate wasn't any different. I bought another Focus though, so my payments weren't huge to begin with. I think the problem is when you buy a car you can't really afford and then extend it out 7 year to make it affordable. Probably a good rule is buy a car where you can afford the payments over three years, but then extend it to 7 if it the interest rates aren't different.

    I responded to a survey about the VW dealer that sold me my diesel jetta (which I had to resell at a loss to VW due to their cheating on emission testing). I gave the survey taker a even handed, thoughtful, fair answer to each question. The following week the service manager at the VW dealer call me at home and told me I needed to call the survey company and to request to edit or withdraw my survey answers. I politely declined his request and he became angry and repeated my home address from their records and asked me again to withdraw my survey reply. Again I declined. I was then told not to return to the dealership for any reason. The car was still under warranty but I no longer had a local dealer to do business with. It's the last VW that will ever be in my garage. I then purchased a Subaru Outback which has been a decent car but the dealer has weaseled on every warranty issue then class action lawsuits required Subaru to honor the warranty I had with their batteries and windshields.

    No they aren’t!!! I was interested in a transit connect cargo van but they have it for $37,000. They tell me it’s their last one and they aren’t making them anymore “thank you for your time” they told me. In other words go away. That’s what a Ford dealership tells me when I question the price for that thing. Which is ridiculously overpriced but won’t budge on the price. They are not worth $37,000

      @@jamesparrish9613 at 3k miles the transmission would slam into gear. So you’d be sitting at a stop and the truck would slam and lurch forward. You can feel it when it shifts too. It started off mild and got to a point where it feels like you’re being rear ended. Took them months to get it in. Then months to fix. The problem is better but not fixed. Also all kinds of electrical issues. My 12v battery won’t stay charged so it goes into “system off” mode to preserve battery then my lights and stuff don’t work when I come out to it. The rear camera holds a frozen screen prolly 5% of the time when backing up. I know my service department far too well. Wasting my time being there. It’s a $73k new truck.

Motor Time Guide said to bill 6 hours due to the time involved getting the part out and putting it back together. I just broke into the box and wired it in place for heat. That means you have to do it twice a year, barring extreme unseasonal conditions. I showed the customer how to do it in the future. I okayed it with them before hand, fully informing them. It worked out fine.

There should be a requirement that the minimum 3yr/60K miles warranty on the vehicle has to be extended for as many months as the finance installment period. Seems like a reasonable request. If the manufacturer wants to have the consumer believe that they have purchased a reliable, quality product they should be willing to warranty it for the entire loan repayment period until the purchaser actually owns the vehicle.
