YES...I would buy an American car if it would last as long as a jap car...and I have one that's getting up there. Our 2000 Jeep Chreokee Sport has 174,000 miles and is still going strong. The 4.0L I-6 in that thing is damn near bullet proof. We love it for it's versatility, capability, & reliability. However in a time when gas is $4/gal (and I'm sure it will get back there again) it does everything but get great mileage. It's 17-18 MPG isn't bad for a brick on wheels, but just doesn't cut it as a daily driver in comparison to a vehicle that gets 30+ mpg. > Spicemanii@xxxxxxx wrote: > > So, you would buy a car that would last as long as your nippon car, my 61 > Imperial LeBaron is not for sale, even at 503,000 miles and tows a 28 foot > trailer at will.
