Good For You. My last three cars were 325K, 225K, and the current is 184K. All American made. Please buy American next time. For decades I have been puzzled by people like yourself, who buy foreign. So..... maybe think of it as loyalty and symbolism.
I bought a Mercury Sable at 77,128 miles and drove it for another 70,000 about 20 years ago, along with a couple of Tauruses and Escorts, and aside from the TL’s transmission defect that was covered in a recall, the Acura has been a night-and-day difference in maintenance needs.
I can go months without opening the Acura’s hood, while with the Fords I learned the craft of automotive repair at my father’s side while growing up, as we replaced head and oil pan gaskets, suspension components, alternators, and so on. We got on a friendly basis with the guys at the local Murray’s Discount Auto Parts shop.
The main reason I’m tempted to buy American again is so I can teach my son how to wrench on cars like my father taught me.
I gather that Ford has improved substantially in that regard, though, so maybe I’ll test-drive a Fusion if I ever wreck the Acura, as opposed to giving it to my son when he turns sixteen ten years from last Friday.
