This Is Why I Don't Buy Cars!
 

Ok I have been renting cars for over 8 years! People call me crazy or stupid. But Let me tell you something and this is no lie, every single fucking car I buy even from a dealer has a major problem with the car!!!!! I decided fuck it yesterday and I was going to buy a 2013 Chevy Cruze with low miles. I paid cash for the car brought it home and noticed my eyes where on fire and watering and the cars ac smelled like maple syrup. I Googled the problem and found this

Now I have to return the car and pay over $700 to cancel the sale wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't notice the problem on the test drive because the sales person had a gallon of cologne on on him and that's all I could smell.

Sounds like you didn't do your research. :2 cents:

Just keep a stack of pancakes on the passenger seat and you'll feel like your at IHOP.

Unless you are going for something classy or exotic, I buy nothing but Honda or other reputable Jap brands.

All products I've had that are Honda made last forever. Other than Oil changes the Honda Civic I have I've done nothing to, 2004 new with over 155k miles and just spark plug changes and oil changes. Though a non interference engine, I need to get around to replacing the timing belt.

Anyway, stupid people get what they deserve. :)

At 155k miles you should be getting around to replacing it a second time...

Government Motors FTW :thumbsup:thumbsup

Just did research and turns out it is interference, I will be getting it replaced.

When do people mostly buy a new car?

When milage, age and maintenance is not worth it anymore to put money in a car....
So... when buying an occasion change is high you pay for all that shit some other dude didn't want to pay for anymore...

Currently drive a Honda with no issues and talked my Dad into getting one after he drove mine a few times. I just hit 30K and car is 3 1/2 years old as I live in the city so don't put many miles on anything. 7500-10000 of those miles is highway cruising to Florida and back a few times. New car wise I'd probably go Honda or Toyota. I've had plenty of American cars but mainly from the 70's. When I'm tired of the Honda may go with a Jeep just to battle the snow.

i like to lease and curb hop

I researched a lot before buying my Ford Focus and what engine to get. I did big service, and i hope it will run 50.000 with no unexcpected problems...

I have a sister in law like you... She somehow manages to run ever car she owns into the ground, usually in a few months. Right now she has a Mini Cooper which she's had for about a year now. The family is placing bets how much longer it will last.

I never have problems with cars. I have a beat up old pick up truck and the radiator died last year, but the truck is twenty-five years old so I can live with it.

yeah, buy japanese cars, much better quality!

Buying a used car is a lot like marrying a divorcee . . . . you are getting someone else's problems.

Funny thing, I have never had any problems with any new car I have purchased; probably because they have been Dodge products.

I've been happily married to a divorcee 18 yrs. now. :)

Buying a used car can be a gamble, though...agreed. Best to do your homework, do some research online - when possible take someone along who knows vehicles.

The wife and I just got back from the dealership - bought two new vehicles - a Kia Sorrento and Optima. Got a helluva deal on both...even went with AWD on the Sorrento and the fully loaded luxury package on the Optima (dbl. sunroof, Infinity sound system, frnt and rear heated seats, nav system, 10yr factory warranty...).

2006 civic with 188,000 miles. Sold my chevy van and Volvo years ago because I never drove them once I was spoiled with the mileage and lack of repairs.

I stopped reading after the word "Chevy"

What were you thinking?

:2 cents::1orglaugh:thumbsup

This would make my stay away from Chevs for sure
"Federal records show a female Cruze driver suffered second-degree burns when her heater fell apart and spewed hot liquid on her feet as she drove."

I would never pay a fee to cancel a safe of a fucked product . Talk nice to the manager (go up the chain ) and tell him why the car is bad. If they all say fuck you, Make a nice video in their showroom telling the viewers how they sold you a lemon and they laughed about it (name names!) Post it up on Youtube with the title:Beware of "Dealerships name" in the "city of" sold me a lemon. The video should come up at the top if anyone looking for the dealers website.

I've owned 13 cars and only 1 of them was second hand. Had no problems with it but unless you do your research on the car by taking it to a mechanic and really doing a proper inspection, you may get burned.

a used car can't be a lemon, idiot.
you buy used, you buy AS-IS. look up the definition of AS-IS.

a used car dealership isn't responsible for original manufacturer build quality.
if you want responsibility, you buy new and get a warranty, otherwise its AS-IS, especially from a third party completely unrelated to the actual car manufacturing and is simply reselling a used product.

If the heater core is leaking onto the mats, then that's an error they need to fix (and clean). There's also a policy in most areas that allows you to return within 30 days at no penalty if there is something "hazardous" wrong that they dont fix.

Thats your problem right there. Have been driving BMWs for years and had one recall. I know one guy who has 250K on his BMW. Runs as smooth as my 2013.

i happened to take a 2013 cruze out for a drive and my god those cars are so powerless. they have that ilink technology in them what a distraction when driving it could cause an accident you have to pull over every time to use it at least you would when you first start driving the car until you get suited to it.

i have three cars, but one of them i never drive anymore, it is a toyota. i might sell it and import an audi quattro from japan with the money. but then the importing regulations for this country are a real pain in the ass. :1orglaugh

My Accord 2007 - same story, 125K miles. Subaru is also doing good for 2.5 years.

:1orglaugh And yes, Honda make some of the best cars, engines that forget to 'die'. I own one, more than happy.
