Replying to: lemko (Dec 02, 2008 1:00 pm) Also, every once in awhile, I'll see a fairly young guy driving around in mid-80's Bonneville, the Malibu-based G-body. Looks like it's still in really good shape. Kinda shocking to see, but then maybe people say the same thing about me when they see me driving around in one of my '79 NY'ers! There's also an early 80's Phoenix coupe that I see from time to time at work. White, and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I know THAT has to be an anomaly though!

Replying to: lemko (Dec 02, 2008 9:48 am) How and why did they seperate you? If your lady friend really wants a Camry I would try another dealership. If under different ownership I'm sure the experience would be much better. Three out of the five cars I've owned have been made by the general. All very good and reliable. Current ride 99 Buick Regal (85k miles) has been excellent... will have owned 5 years in March. |

Replying to: marsha7 (Dec 01, 2008 1:23 pm) The comment referred to a post in discussing the Toyota sludge problem. I was calling them out about how he could consider this issue "water under the bridge" when the problem has been only about 10 years old yet it not be "water under the bridge " to someone who may have bought a Big 3 product 30 years ago and had one bad experience. |

Replying to: lemko (Dec 02, 2008 9:48 am) No disagreement here, there's a couple Toyota dealers I've been to that made me feel like I needed a shower when I left. But I've also bought from 2 other Toyota dealers and the experience was positive. Hondas I've bought over the years have been the same, some good, some not so good. But none of those compare to the 2 Nissan dealers I attempted to purchase. Those guys were the worst of the worst. But the domestics I bought years ago weren't necessarily a picnic either. Dealing with dealers is a necessary evil, bad experience and I walk.

Replying to: jimbres (Dec 02, 2008 2:26 pm) Me too, I like the CTS. I was recently at Disney world and went on the GM Test Track ride--it was a hoot--and it ended up in a "showroom." My wife and I sat in a new CTS and we both liked it . . . a lot. Though to me the upper seat cushion felt a little pronounced. Still, I'll put it on my short list for my next purchase. |

lemko: "The only people I know who've ever complained about their cars - whether foreign or domestic - were they people who treated them like garbage. They never serviced them, let small problems turn into big ones, changed their oil like once a decade, never washed them, and the interiors were so filthy they should've been declared biohazards"...maybe so, but the number of cars of ANY make out there after 20 years is few, so your sample still does not account for the mass exodus of the average American from the Big 3 and over to the imports...your reasoning is flawless for you, but does not work with them, and it is "them" that the Big 3 need for sales volume, 'cuz there ain't enough lemkos out there... cooter: I think I got it now..................
