[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every car I own is American. In past I have owned foreign. We had a Toyota, Subaru, Fiat, Mercedes and BMW.

My BMW 5 series best handling car I owned and loved ride. The maint was very expensive. Very reliable but oil changes, tires etc very expensive.

My Mercedes well double whammy expensive repairs and maint. Broke a lot

My Subaru reliable and fun. But small

My Toyota great car. But maint again was a little pricey.

My current 2011 caddie in 11 years one minor repair. Like $300. I did do tire and brakes and once a year oil
Change. Still original battery. It is extremely reliable.

My 2017 Chevy Cruze I bought older daughter when graduate HS now being jointly driven never a signer repair. So far four oil changes. First two free by GM. Oil change is $35. I spent $70 on main in 4.5 years.

My 2012 Denali well that thing a bit of headache. Way over complicated with too many things that can break. That I would not buy again. It is a great truck but weird things break. For instance airbag light passenger seat but since seat has six way  adjustments, lumbar support, heard and even cooling function in seat fixing a wire is an issue. Maybe if non Denali not an issue.

The Chevy Cruze gets crazy mileage by way. I drive to NYC and back once without stopping for gas. I drove it to Syracuse with daughter and we were at 45 mpg on dashboard. I took it in the college tours with her. Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Boston. A cute car. They stopped making them as only a $200 dollar profit margin per car. I paid $13,900 for car incident tax and registration.

American cars get a bad name. But being parts are cheaper and you can often do repairs your self they make good uses cars for handy people.

For instance I had a Ford Taurus and I changed headlight bulb in parking lot of auto parts store in five minutes. Bulb was $10 bucks. [b]My Five series it cost me $500. [/b]

My BMW battery $500 and Ford Taurus battery was $49.

My BMW Run flats $250 each my Ford Taurus tire $49 each.

There is nothing more expensive to own than a high mileage older German car. [/quote]

Yea, they do that largely by design. BMW corp. wants it to be pricey to fix tings on their units. [/quote]
