Re: Car for $4000-6000
Well, I'm no professional mechanic so I haven't worked on too many FWD cars, but that has been my personal experience with the ones that I did. I thought you were going to say that Saturns were even harder to work on...
I'll admit that I'm biased toward American cars and against almost anything else, so I suppose my opinion is invalid. I have never personally owned a car that wasn't American-made and my "newest" car is 44 years old so my definition of quality probably shouldn't be applied to, say, a 2000 Toyota Corolla. Style-wise I just don't care for anything made after the early '70's, and today's cars just look and feel cheap to me. As far as the reliabilty of domestic cars go, the only real lemons that my immediate family have owned are the 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, 1987 Pontiac Fiero, 1980-something Mercury Cougar, and the only foreign car we've ever had, a 1994 Geo Metro (technically it's a "Chevy" but I still consider it to be a Japanese car). Ever other American car we've had have been solid, reliable cars... |

You are just, dare I say, old-fashioned? Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
