[QUOTE="bikejunkie223, post: 1360355, member: 563147"] I base my opinion on the cars I see day in and out at work as used trade ins and customer cars. On the average, the domestics do not age as well as the imports. I am happy you have had good luck with your cars. We never had out Silverado in the shop either, except for the knocking noise from the engine as it was warming up (piston slap) that GM is currently in a lawsuit over as they told customers it is normal- though I think a car/truck with 12,000 miles on it shouldn't knock when cold. Am I biased? Yes I am- I have seen too many "low mileage" domestic trade-ins that were complete garbage, in comparison to the imports- though many of them are crap too. My opinion is based on the high number of personally owned Hondas and customer Hondas that have 200,000 miles on them with no major repairs needed beyond routine maintinence. Not too many Cavaliers or Neons will make it there. I do feel slightly different about trucks- I believe the big 3 build very good trucks, because that is thier focus-trucks and SUV's- I just don't think it should be. [/QUOTE]
