[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2813354, member: 94420"] I didn't say the engines aren't bad. I'm just saying necessity to stay on the Feds good side made GM, Ford, CDR, and others try things to stay within regs and keep the customer happy. It usually isn't a decision that auto makers want to make. Vehicles rarely appreciate, and are always an expense. So I don't understand the need to worry about retained value in a vehicle. Value to me is squeezing every last mile I can out of my vehicles. I mentioned in another post my wife's Volvo. It's an 06 S40 with 180K on the odometer. We paid $2700 for it five years ago, we've added another probably $3000 in repairs over those years and it averages 32 MPG. I'd call a "luxury beater" (wife's affectionate term) a good investment. Paying cash and driving for what averages to $100 a month plus fuel and oil seems a better ROI to me. [/QUOTE]
