There American.
They're not taking bailout money.

Why do you say "big 3" when its just GM and Chrysler?

Give Ford another 6 months...with the highest loss ever in the last Q of 08, they will be needing a bailout soon.

well hell this might be the only way you can buy a domestic and not have to be let down by it's reliablility...

the only good time to grab a domestic (or most any other car) is once its used at around 100,000 miles. #1 you get a fantastic discount and pick of the litter for options and trim levels #2 no warrantee to worry about. do whatever the fuck you please with it. and #3 cars that lived that long have a high probability of not being a monday or friday car. can usually do another 100,000 easy with regular maintanance

Actually the best is at 10k miles, not 100k. At 10k it has lost 50% of its MSRP.

I have a ford f150 with 130,000 mi never been in shop, chev car with 70,000 been in once and a jeep with 25 K on it in one year.
Very reliable vehicles. I still remember when I was broke azz and had to buy yotas and piss-ons. biggest piles of crap I have ever bought. Even a new Toy got me 10K before it was junk. Lemon lawed a Suzuki SUV 9 months after purchase. Yeah they sure set the standard. (you can't say I didn't try them)

everyone has their own opinion. I wouldn't buy one except as a rat car to go to work in. Even then it would have to be cheap enough to be disposable because I'm not wasting my time fixing their crap.

Buy a 1-2 yr old Pontiac G6.........probably the best deal on a good all-around car on the market today.
