In my experience this is true of any make, any model. You're taking a risk no matter what the statistics. You could've easily bought a Honda and had the same problem. I did. My 1996 accord coupe blew a drive shaft gasket at 60k miles and just about any mechanic wanted $1500 to fix it. F-that! So I "upgraded" to a Ford Taurus. What a piece of crap! I dumped it after 8 months. Prior to that I had an 80something Escort wagon. The thing broke all of the time, but I knew how to fix it and where to get junker parts. Prior to that I had a Festiva. That worked fine but I rolled in on the freeway. Prior to that I had a Fiesta. Same thing as the wagon. So, I decided that I would just lease and buy a car that had pampering auto service because I didn't want to *have* to fix cars anymore. IMO, why buy an expensive problem? Now, if the car I lease is a POS, I don't care, they come pick it up, fix it, and bring it back. Not my problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206283 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
