cold never had any major problems with them very dependable if i do say so myself
I won't argue with you on that one John because I agree with you there.
But that is a completely different point than your original post.
You're right - many of the Asian branded simply are much better cars, and that's why they hold their resale value so well. They've also gotten pretty pricey too though.
To be fair, I'll give yet another example from my immediate family (since I used the very good Chrysler experience from my immediate family in my last reply to argue against you): My brother has owned only Honda's since the mid 80's. On every single one of them, he has exceeded
500,000 km (310,000 miles) before trading them in. And, he actually gets a reasonable trade-in allowance on them during trade-ins, because the dealer won't have any trouble selling them even with the high miles. Now that says something about Hondas. His most recent one passed 500,000km about 6 weeks ago. When he was at the Honda parts counter recently he mentioned to the guy that he had passed the 500K km mark. The parts guy just brushed it off, saying that those are a "dime a dozen ". He said they have a bunch of them come in for regular service that are way past 750,000 km. It's incredible how well made these things are. Unfortunately, that is a conversation that will probably never occur at a Ford or GM or Chrysler parts counter.Phil
