I disagree.

Have run into tooooo many people who dish out $$$$ and have glitches in these fancy electrical systems. We bought a Honda CRV in 2018 that has never been right. The dash console is constantly blinking out. I know of several guys on the Fire Dept who have had issues with pick up trucks. We are CONSTANTLY hearing of recalls. Yeah, everything gets more expensive with time but vehicles are climbing higher than people can afford, more than ever. There have been recent reports of pick ups not selling. You rarely see vehicles older than 15 years on the road. But that is changing because people simply cannot afford to buy new. Our Mechanic has been doing it for 45 years and he says its the worst he has ever seen. YES, they have all sorts of EPA improvements and safety features. The Technology that runs these features is cheap as hell but cost the Customer $$$$$$$$$$ to replace.

Just like home appliances...They have all sorts of bells n whistles. All sorts of settings. Hell, you can control them with your phone. But ALL of the inner components are cheap. I have had two experienced Repair guys tell me that and even a Sales Rep.

  Our talks about "Modern" crap products...Yesterday, I chatted quite a while with our Mechanic.

  Almost none of this is accurate

LesBaker124May 05, 2024 03:02PM

  I disagree.

Ramgator133May 05, 2024 03:32PM

  This is you complaining about things that aren't real

LesBaker122May 06, 2024 01:30PM

  My rant is backed up by THREE Mechanics at a highly respected Automotive.

Ramgator94May 08, 2024 03:39PM

  Just 12-13 years ago, Honda Elements were EVERYWHERE.

Ramgator88May 08, 2024 03:44PM

  Dude its fairly common knowledge dealerships are a rip off on parts and service

LesBaker88May 09, 2024 03:33AM

  Talked to a Nissan Service Manager about that about 7 years ago.

Ramgator99May 09, 2024 09:22AM

  I would argue that....

JamesJM145May 05, 2024 03:36PM

  Yes! I have very minimal Mechanical skills but even so....

Ramgator100May 05, 2024 03:40PM

  Your right Les

ScRAM129May 08, 2024 04:47PM

  Call yourself lucky. You can call ME wrong all you want . Mine is just opinion.

Ramgator100May 09, 2024 02:23AM

  That's insane I do believe Hondas and Tototas are bullet proof

ferragamo7993May 09, 2024 02:47PM

  My 1993 Civic went for 212,000. I REALLY should have kept it.

Ramgator96May 09, 2024 04:02PM

Ramgator93May 06, 2024 03:37AM

JamesJM119May 06, 2024 01:11PM

  I REALLY want a Tacoma truck but will probably get a Carolla. Thing is....

Ramgator90May 06, 2024 04:09PM

JamesJM100May 06, 2024 04:37PM

  Try looking at a Nissan Frontier

RAMbler91May 08, 2024 04:13PM

  I have a Nissan Frontier

sstrams100May 08, 2024 04:26PM

  I'll be told I'm wrong by Board experts but cars have little value at all as soon as you drive off the lot.

Ramgator106May 09, 2024 02:34AM

  REally I had 2004 and 2009 CRV

ferragamo79111May 06, 2024 06:17PM

ScRAM96May 09, 2024 08:49AM

  NO...

JamesJM86May 09, 2024 10:44AM

  Anyone have a car that shuts down every time you stop??

Ramgator99May 09, 2024 09:17AM

  Both our Jeeps do that

IowaRam97May 09, 2024 12:55PM

  That CANNOT be good for an engine.

Ramgator74May 09, 2024 03:53PM

  The only thing that might save the engine..
