I don't know that only folks w/problem cars come here Posted by MJM [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: keep in mind..., Trevor, Wed, 4 Dec 2002 11:44:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My dealer had a couple of cars in for input shaft seal leaks when I took mine it for the same thing, he had another car in for strut mounts when they diagnosed the same on mine, etc, etc.
Besides, the same point can be made about folks who say they've never had any problems. A good friend who was the original owner of a '95 Integra traded it in at about 100k miles after her _first_ repair trip to the dealer, and the tab for that one was only about $1500. Another friend just traded in his '95 Saturn at about 110k miles when the repair bill, the first repair bill, was going to be about $2k. Everyone has a story one way or the other, but I don't believe Consumer Reports or similar mags rate the NG's that highly either.
The bottom line is the question as to whether the car is valuable enough to the owner to justify the hassle of owning it. If the car tickles some emotional button, then it's worth it, if it doesn't then it's not. For me, the car doesn't push the right buttons to justify $1500-$2000/year in maint. GIve me an Alfa, or an M3 or an older Porsche and yeah, they might.
