My niece wasn’t so lucky.
Her white 2005 Alima broke..then broke again.
Anything in the car that was able to break broke.
She wised up after that experience and bought a corolla.
I myself owed a beautiful
Black Infiniti J30.
Car was pretty frigging nice, built during the Nissan glory Era and even that car broke then broke again...and agin.
My previous Toyota Supra went 350,000 miles with just tires,pads and battery replacement.
Even the clutch and exhaust never failed.
I’m sticking with Toyota till I die.
My first brand new car was a VW Golf. I was about 36 at the time. The car would have lasted but my youngest son used it to deliver newspapers, and one winter morning, he slid on ice and ended up rolling it over into a field. The car was finished. Thankfully he was alright. The car was paid for by then, and I’d taken the collision coverage off it the week before.
