Our experience with dealers of both domestic and foreign makes is to buy a car that never needs a repair during the 3-year/36,000 warranty period and beyond.....and one that will not need repairs at all until about 85-90,000 miles.
Translation: Buy a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan.
As a dealer once told me, domestic auto manufacturers make sure you're coming into the dealership regularly in those first 3 years/36,000 miles.....so that you're waiting in or next to the showroom.....where all the sparkling new ones are there just beckoning for you to come over and sit in the driver's seat and dream about a new one. Take in that unique new-car smell....it's quite convincing, you know!
Most customers have more important things to do with their time than sit and wait in a dealership, with their entire day(s) halted for lack of personal wheels.
