Nothing wrong with that, its the cheapest car partswise I have ever seen. I can’t stand vehicles or motorcycles that require expensive parts.
I have an older 1980 Honda CX 500 bike, any part new from Honda costs an arm and a leg though used parts from Ebay are cheap.
I have pretty much given up owning a car...ever, they just don’t have any long lasting appeal to me, not the Corvette, Camaro or the Mustang, no interest. The cars I do find of interest are the very limited production types, I like being the only person for over a hundred miles with something different. A DeLorean would have been nice.
I drive a 2002 Chevy Silverado 3500HD dually, has an 8.1L big block, terrible gas mileage but I love it, my dream truck is owning a customized Peterbilt, I drive one all day long but I want one just to own it, Peterbilts last forever.
I had an 82 GL500. good little motor.
You want to talk about parts costing.....I had to do some repairs on my Suzuki outboard. Makes one realize that boat really does stand for Break Out Another Thousand.
