Re: "Glad ya finally saw the light."I haven't "finally" seen the light. I've disliked Chevrolet since the '80s when my brother bought a Corvette and I saw all kinds of dumb problems befall it. You'd think that an expensive car would be ESPECIALLY well made. Nope. Not if it's a Chevy.

I bought the 2007 Silverado in 2008 when it had 7,000 miles on it. The owner, a police officer, had purchased it in a special arrangement Chevrolet had for the police. I think he paid around $27,000. The truck's sticker price had been over $35,000. I got it for $20,000. It still had the new car smell! That lasted about a month, until a boy scout threw up twice in quick succession all over the back seat and floor. The stupid kid vomited UPWARD instead of downward. ("He looked like a fountain," my son later said.)

I've always been a sucker for a bargain. That's the only reason I bought it.

However, a week before moving out of California in 2005, we bought a Chrysler minivan. Wonderful vehicle. It has 215,000 miles on it now and it's still running great.

De.
Glad ya finally saw the light. I bought my last American made auto in 1996 and kept it 9 years before starting to buy nothing but Asian autos. Japanese and Korean.

Funny thing happened.

I have not had ONE SINGLE thing except routine maintenance to take care of any of these vehicles with over 300,000 miles of driving put on them.

One Kia, One Hyundai, and one Mitsubishi.

My wife wants a compact SUV for thenext vehicle and I will have a nice well maintained 2004 Kia Optima for sale. Now it has only 91,000 miles on it.

No more American cars for me period. JUNK and not well made...
