I agree, but at the same time some people ***** and are too picky about the most minor things. Cars need maintence. If you don't plan to get off your ass and maintain your cars, buy a brand new one and leave the old cars to the people that know better. Some people have no business owning an old car, plain and simple.

My car has 380,000 and up until recently ran as strong as the day from the Stealership. But that was improper maintenance and being really, really dumb. And on the Japanese cars, the reason people pay more to fix them is because they are usually bought with the intent to mod and I can't look at an Import without having a ton of previous work done to it, and shoddily at that. They are paying for the mistakes of others.

The people i'm talking about with the jap cars don't have modded cars or know how to mod cars so it has absolutely nothing to do with that at all. I do know others like that though, but I wasn't referring to that.

I agree, some people shouldn't buy an older car but maybe they want the car for other reasons than it being cheap? If they buy an older car they should expect it to have problems. And maybe we wouldn't have the problem with people posting if they would use the friggen search feature which nobody seems to use

Agree again, I guarantee if you go on an Import forum there will be 3x as many problem threads as we have.

Happens on all car sites. We see that at NAIOA all the time too.

I've maintained this car myself and it's been great even though I beat the ever-livin' $hit out of it the first 4 years I had it. Now that it's my DD, well it has been all along but I have a toy now, I am treating it better cause I have the other one as my 'go fast' car.

If I wasn't looking for a SUV/club cab truck to haul the family/dogs around in, I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
