[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me explain it as my auto shop teacher explained Japanese vs American cars.

He said yes many Japanese cars are a bit better made and a bit more reliable and can run a bit longer than American cars.

But the laws of physics can not be ignored. Metal rubbing against metal in engine and tranny will eventually wear down and break down.

He has seen folks but 140k miles used Camrys for high prices under theory they last forever. But metal rubbing against metal will eventually cause a break down.

A 2015 Chevy Malibu with 55k  miles vs a 2015 Camry with 100k miles  may sell same price used. The Toyota depreciates less. I know my auto shop teacher would see but the Malibu.

Brand new work day buy the Camry. [/quote]

Obviously your auto shop teacher didn't teach you the differences between normal wear and tear/maintenance vs. break downs. [/quote]

nor about oil [/quote]

Actually US Pick up trucks dominate list of vehicles that last the longest. Many 500k trucks still going strong. And one million not that uncommon. Toyota has not been in business that long. Who knows. I recall Cadillac like 3-5 years ago had its first ever 100 year old original owner car continually registered. It was a officer Cadillac built for WWI still owned by US Govt still in use and original engine and tranny. That’s impressive.

Next up I read a garage has a 1923 Ford Model T tow truck that has been in service in call 24/7 by same garage since 1923.

Toyota are pieces of crap barely last 20-30 years and a few hundred thousand miles. Volvo has a car at over 3 million miles still running. Which is record [/quote]
