Buying a new car.

[BCOrchidGuy]

I have a Sentra and I tell you, what a great reliable car, (knock on wood) I have 165,000km and so far the only thing that has gone on it was the alternator.

I had a hyundai just a few years ago, at 100,000km the distributor went, then the tranny then the block cracked, NOTHING was covered under warrantee, even the tranny that was serviced by them a mere 2 weeks before it went, they ( the dealership) blamed the tranny on me saying I added tranny fluid to it and wrecked it.

Over the long run, Nissan and toyota get my vote, my brother has a toy with 300,000km, just gets regular service done to it, my brother inlaw has two sentras, one has close to 400,000km and the other is about 2 years old, with less than 60,000km he doesn't spend money on repairs on either.

Mind you, a pick up truck can carry bigger tanks than a sedan... just a thought.
