Yeah until the motor falls out just after 36,000 miles. All American car companies are total crapola. Ever notice that American car companies have to keep turning out these unusual designs and advertise with tons of hoopla while Honda and Toyota keep quiet and continue sell a massive number of cars? Improve the looks and not the quality.....maybe for those car buyers with half a brain that might not be the best thing to do.
Well if you run any car into the ground dont expect it to last long. My fathers 85 ford escort had over 300,000 on the drive train, nothing rebuilt. Around 300,000 1 of the 4 cylinders lost compression but the car still ran fine, did not burn oil or smoke. He followed the manual for maintence. My grand father had a 75 ford f150 and it still runs today, just maintained and no overhaul/rebuild. The thing with american autos is in 50 yrs you can still find oem parts.
