Some of the problems are the cheap parts that are made today compared to the original parts that would last for years. The modern paved roads help, years ago your car was sucking dust on mostly dirt paved roads which didn't help the life either. To sum up what i'm saying.EVERYTHING MAN MADE WILL FAIL AT SOME POINT! Its funny in a way my wife's parents wanted her to get a new truck back when she was going to college. Bought her a 02 gmc and it left her stranded on the road 3 times, my buddy has a new $70,000 ford one ton diesel and its on its third oil leak, he was fussing at me friday about it  |
Yeah my mom has a newer Cadillac. So many gadgets, and she's had system problems. The car dumbs you down, tells you how to think and fools itself. Blows my mind some Fords and that are 70K. 20 years from now they'll be worth 8-10K while a nice 67-72 80Kish. Personally, I'd never buy a newer Dodge, Ford or GM.
