Just my two cents... I bought a Brand New Chevy G2500 Cargo Van in 1997 financed to $26,000 over 5 yrs. By the time I sold it for $500.00 with 335,000 miles on it in 2003. I paid $23,000.00 early pay off. BUT It was on it SIXTH Transmission, Second Engine, second A/C system and ECU.The thing was always breaking down. I got one Tranny under warranty, and the engine ( for which I was required to show a stack of Oil Change receipts). One of the Tyranny's for which I paid $2k had to be replaced within days due tot he failure of the dealership shop to adequately clean the shrapnel from the last one) and then I had two more full rebuilds. So One original blew at 40,000 miles, one under the original warranty, bought a third ,replaced within two days so that's four then two more rebuilds.. The engine blew up at 98,000. I had the extended warranty and they tried very hard to deny me the new engine but when I handed them a stack of receipts for oil changes they shut up and did it.
I will N E V E R buy an American made car as long as I live again!
