[QUOTE="700hpF100, post: 102781, member: 545963"] Well I'm sorry your mom bought something from generic motors. It's not the cost that matters. As you can tell. Your mom blew 60k or so on an excalade when she could have spent 35k on an excursion and no shop bills. Ford has way more technology going then GM. The corvette and camaro motor are the same basic design they used when they first came out. OHV Ford uses SOHC and DOHC in all of there vehicles now. We have a DOHC tuarus wagon that gets 30mpg on the road and has 150,000 miles on it and the only thing we've replaced are brakes, oil, ****** fluid, air cleaner, windshield wipers. I know of many other Fords that are the same way. I also know alot of GM's that are the same way. My dad has a 1979 F100 302 with near 400,000 miles on the truck. Yeah we've had to change the motor in it but the truck still has 400,000 miles on it. One of my buddys has a ranger nearing 250,000 miles on the stock motor, but he drives like a granny. Bottom line is ANY vehicle will easily surpass 100,000 miles with proper care. Driving like granny instead of driving like your on a drag strip makes a huge difference. You can kill a motor in 30,000 miles if you don't change the oil in it. I always change the oil myself or watch the person chaniging the oil to make sure the oil filter is replaced to. There's not an engine in this world that will last long if you don't change the oil and oil filter. [/QUOTE]
