I’ve bought nothing but Chevy; however, I will never buy another. Once this truck quits, my next truck will be an F250 diesel.
I have a 1997 Chevy K1500. It has stranded me several times, cost me many thousands of dollars in factory-defect-caused repairs (look up Vortec engines and intake manifold gasket leaks), and things have broken on it that should NEVER break. I will NEVER purchase another GM vehicle, due to their poor engineering and quality, and for their taxpayer-funded union bailout.
Why hell yes, happy as I could be with my new F150.
I’ve owned GMs continuously since 1983. I won’t buy another. I’m about two years from my next purchase (I keep them for about 12-15 years).
Yup, GM & Dodge are dead to me.
I can obtain a huge discount from GM, but I will buy from others, like Ford.
I was shopping for a new truck six months ago after selling my F250. GM products were not even A consideration because of the bailout. I ended up buying a Ford F150.
Of course. But our primarly reason has always been, since 1989, that they build POS cars and trucks. And their service center is full of a bunch of boobs.
This was reaffirmed when we tried to get my dad’s Jimmy running so that we could sell it. The car was worth $3500 and the crooked dealership kept trying this and that to get it running. I told them to put it back together when they recommended an engine rebuild. It had already had an engine rebuild. Turns out it was a defective “computer.” We found this out after we sold it for a loss. The POS only had 100K miles.
I was cheering on GM’s demise and glorious end when they filed for bankruptcy. I was very unhappy when the Feds bailed them out.
The question after billions of taxpayer dollars: has anything changed or is it business as usual at GM? I am betting that it is business as usual and they will fail again in the future. Maybe they won’t be so lucky next time. I can only hope.
Thanks, ZE!
FR power rules!
Chevy gets something that rhymes with trucked.
