I agree if it were in regards to GM, but my family and a handful of my friends drive Dodge vehicles - both cars and trucks. In my experience they're just as reliable as any other import.

Whether or not cars are traded in is dependant on the owner. Saying that people who buy imports don't trade their cars in is just ignorant.

Ok, I couldn't help but to take that last reply as a personal insult, and I am not going to attack you, but defend why I said that, because you have helped me with a lot of my questions, and I like you.


But given that you supposedly survey, yes? People who buy imports vs domestics.... I have one thing to say on that *(and yes I am drinking righ now). Resell value. Look at what the Celica sells for commonly. You got like 95's selling for like $6k and down to maybe $4k from a dealer. You find a 99 Mustang and could be a V8, selling for about the same price, if not lower. it is all in the VALUE. Imports are known to last, unlike American cars.. Now, You can slice that and dice it any way you please, but that's the truth. I am sure American cars will be built better in the future, but as far as engines go. I work and learn in an engine overhaul class with a teacher who owns his own shop and just as zealous for Ford as I am for Toyota. He knows they *Ford* as well as GMC (who are two very big american companies) do things on purpose just to be different, even though they don't hold as well on their vehicles. Now... As a rebuilder of engines, you can IMPROVE these things, but straight from the company, they aren't going to last you. There is a reason why you see more old imports on the road. Look around you! I promise you will see more Hondas and Toyotas vs ANY other car companies out there. I live in a very Agricultural place, with many diesel powered trucks and I will tell you this. We Have TWO , not one, but TWO Toyota Dealerships in my city that are very HUGE! No other authorized dealership in town is beyond 1.

That's my case. So to go and say what I said is ignorant, is only based off observation. Blame my city, not me.
