Buy used

tom3 · 04-13-2005, 08:39 AM

Actually buying used is not a bad deal. Save 50% on a two year old low mileage car that has had the initial defects fixed, someone else had the nightmare of getting the service department do the warranty repairs. Still get a very decent car if you shop smart and the vehicle would probably look like new too. It's a shame though, the American Dream is a new car and a house in the country or something like that, but these days that new car sure can be a nightmare. We've been buying new GM since 1977, our next will be a non-GM or a used one for sure. That's a radical departure for me.

I agree with GM is a Sh*t Company. I have a 2003 Chevy Cav. LS. The car runs Great, get good Gas Mileage, Great with Vision. I change the oil every 7000 miles as GM States. I use only Syn. oils( Amsoil, Mobil 1). The last oil change( 72,345 Miles) I notice White specs in the oil. Oil have a Light Choc Milk look to it.( I'm thinking Head Gasket) I called the dealer where I bought the car and asked if the Head GAsket is under Warrenty. He said Yes. ( I brought the extended Warrrenty for up to 120,000 miles.) He then Said I'm not under warrenty because They have not serviced the car. I told him I do all the Servicing. That is not good enought. Screw them, I'll buy a Toyota or Honda or Hyundi.

Seems like any excuse they can come up with to refuse a repair, they'll use it. Consider that dealer servicing would have nothing to do with a head gasket, and the coolant was not due for changing at this point.

i'm a new member, and i found this thread kind of funny... i used to be a finance guy at a huge gm dealership here in k.c. (i quit i figured the bad karma was bound to get me sooner or later)... anyway yes it is true gm cars suck... now the trucks are a differant thing. what people need to realize is that gm makes the vast majority of their money from truck sales, but due to CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) laws they need to sell fuel efficient vehicles i.e. cars. they are a means to an end... that being said, i own a brand new pontiac, but you can bet your butt i also bought an extended warranty (yes they really do pay off). the way i look at it, any idiot knows a honda will generaly be more reliable than a pontiac, but they also cost considerably more (especially with the gms thing they're doing now) it's a total cost thing pontiac with warranty < honda....

i my self am a huge GM fan, i have a 92 pontiac bonny thats i gotta admit really crappy on the out side, but for a 92, it runs incredibly well, i think every one here needs to lighten up!, thats what think

lets say
2003 dodge neon srt-4
0-30: 2.3
0-120: 20

vs.
2003 Honda s2000
0-30: 2.3
0-120: 26.5

i got this from carstats.com, they only had the 0-30and 0-120 for the s2000, so thats alli got for the neon, and it looks like a GM came out in front of the honda!

say any thing yopu want this is what i found and im stickin to it!
