With parts coming from everywhere, does "Buying American" have much meaning anymore? Is quality and price the bottom line?

Replying to: circlew (Sep 27, 2008 6:33 am) Ah the good life of kids nowadays; money wise that is. I bought my own skate board, bikes, motorcycles and cars. My first new car was an Opel Manta Rallye '73 for say $3,150 out-the-door. Ya know, in retrospec, we paid too much for cars back when. The Olds98 Regency in 1987 was really overpriced -- what was I thinking. I got $2K off and it was still $18,000. Think of equipment and safety you get these days compared to back when! And the car was not reliable, durable, and had zero resale value.

I won't ever buy an American made care again? I wonder how many bias people have any idea how many foreign name brands are made here by US workers? The perception that foreign name brands are better made than American made vehicles shows how false impressions can sure fool people. Then again there are some Chevy crossovers with engines made in China! And we all know "made in China" means the only the very best of cheapest junk they can find goes into every product made for the USA. farout

One thing that I found really great about having a GM extended warranty was that I could select any GM dealership to work on my Chevy truck so I ended up using the same dealership I bought my Denali from. My Silverado was a work of art. Three failed rack and pinion, first at 1K miles third at 36K miles. Failed a/c compressor at 40K miles along with failed power window motors at 45K. Major guard bumper to bumper 0 deductible was worth it's weight in gold. Not so with my '02 Denali as I've had nothing go wrong since the 3/36 expired. I'd seriously consider Major Guard for your next GM vehicle.
