i don't know, the last 'disposable' car i had was at 315,000 miles when i
dropped it off
at the scrap yard.
my '95 caravan is showing 287,000 and still no leaks.
transmission change, but no leaks.
my disposable echo has 127,000 and no leaks.
all a hell of a lot better than my kids' and friend's jeeps with the
doorhinge
breaking and the right front engine mounts breaking.......
my observation, people buying the high-priced cars, ie, mercedes, ****sche,
et al, put up with problems that the average chevy owner wouldn't.
hell, even a harley CAN be made leak-free when assembled properly.
not a flame, just observations.
