That's good info.
What I was pointing out is that the major allure of a new vehicle to me is piece of mind and not having to worry about issues for a while because well, it's a new car. What I found is, there are many I've known with new vehicles that have more issues than what I do with 23+ year old vehicles. To pay high 20's to high 40's for a new or newer vehicle and have more issues than a 23 year old $1600 beater is just unacceptable. Regardless of who's behind the warranty issues is irrelevant to me. Having to deal with faulty ball joints, etc. after 30k miles and after the money was spent is not something I would be unhappy with. Having to deal with hassles and arguing with people over warranty work after the breaks is just ridiculous. Don't know if the potential drama is worth it. That's all I was saying.
You will get no argument from me on that, I love my old trucks better than the newer one, however I don't mind driving a rattling, smelly, noisy, wind and water leaking old truck with no radio or navigation system. Other people do.
They also don't want to have to have work on, tinker with, or deal with unavailable or crappy replacement parts, I get it, but that's just us.
