It’s no wonder that new cars/trucks aren’t selling. Auto parts are through the roof and here’s something to think about if you get into an accident with a late model vehicle.
A Land Rover headlight costs $2500 (each)
Chev Silverado headlights cost over $1500 (each)
Tailgates over $2000 (2017)
Chrome Truck rear bumpers assy over $1200
Then there's the part where these highly over-engineered, digital-primadonnas whacks out and can't be fixed...even by the dealer.
Save your money and buy the simpler, older vehicle of your choice, fully rebuilt by....AN AMERICAN.
Just had a Door replaced on a 2016 Nissan Frontier, Ins paid 1800 plus for it with painting. Can’t Bondo them anymore, the metal is too thin, will crack quick.
We were looking at buying a used American car. I have a Kia that’s seven years old. When new, the Kia Borrego cost $35,000 now we are lucky to get $9,000 for it.
We looked at some American cars that are nearly 6 years old and the dealer wanted $22,OOO for a GMC Arcadia. The inside of that SUV was not as nice as the Kia. The paneling was thin and flimsy.
Then we started looking at new American cars and could not get over the sticker shock. Since when did SUVS jump to the $50,000 range?!?!
I’ll stick with my Kia.
Parts for CJ series jeep aren’t cheap either.
How about $60 bucks for an OEM hubcap, $350 for a rim. $125 for a fricking LED taillight. And then Detroit wonders why it can’t sell cars.
