Gillz, I stand corrected. I could've swore that I had mentioned that I'm upside down on my loan here...but then again I've got a thread like this going on on several sites.

Anyway, when I bought it the economy was thriving -- I had a secure job, and was confident that I could make this work. Then I left my job for school and when I came back there were no jobs to be had for 10 months. Then I fell into the emissions job I've got today, and I've only had this since August. But last summer book for my car dropped over $6,000...you don't usually expect that to happen. So am I a dumbass? No, just got caught in a bad situation along with millions of other folks once the economy tanked.

As far as RWD cars are concerned, most are easy to drive in the snow - V6 Mustang's included. But when buying a V8 Mach 1 in the Spring you're not thinking about the weather that's going to be coming in the end of the year. I don't care who you are, that is not running through your mind. So, like I said in another thread, 'ignorance is bliss' I suppose.

Anyway, I gracefully accept my nomination for gayest argument of year because it really has been. Hell, I almost went to the Stephen level for comments there for a little while, and that sickens me. So I'm done with all of that.

But fact of the matter is that in my current financial situation, keeping the Mach does not make sense.

And Evan, I can't fit in Ford Rangers. I'm 6'5''.

I also can't fit into any of the 90s Nissan Pathfinders, and a few other vehicles. (just thought that I would throw that random fact out there for everybody)

those are ones for sale... has NOTHING to do with longevity. They outnumber imports because chevy alone cranks out more trucks than all the imports combined here in the states.

Another reason you dont see many yodas for sale, is that ppl love them and are still driving them and they havent let them down in any way at all. Your example not only doesnt apply to the topic, but its a skewed view of the market based on for sale ads and units produced.




If you think that a ridgeline is a truck...you are a moron.

oh horseshit, you absolutly CAN use that information as a basis on a statement.

That absolutly shows that there are more high mileage domestic trucks in running condition on the road.

The idea that import owners just dont ever sell thier high mileage trucks is rediculous. Trucks are trucks, cars are cars, most people who buy them eventually sell them. The lack of high mileage toyotas on the list clearly shows that there is a lack of high mileage toyotas that are in running condition, especially when comparing them to domestic trucks.

Im not saying that domestics are any more reliable than imports, but i AM saying that zigs statement that a toyota truck is far more reliable than any american truck is complete and utter bullshit.

no offence zig.

lol

Ok then "Mr. i swing from the nuts of toyota"

Im gonna stump you real quick with this.

"Back up your statement with valid proof that toyota trucks are more reliable than any fo the big 3"

and dont just give me some shit about them being better than the 02 ram, or the 99 ranger, i want proof that toyotas trucks in general are better and more reliabe than the big 3.

because all i see are a lack of any toyotas running around with over 200k miles.

to me it looks like 95% of them blew the fuck up.

lol

EVEN IF the big 3 produce more trucks, if toyota was so goddamn reliable then we should STILL see more and more toyota trucks, because they should all outlast the fords, chevys and dodges.

but we dont see that either

;)

This is an interesting study by KBB.. Doesn't necessarily prove anything, but I thought the information was well.. Interesting.

I dug around a bit, i cant find anything that shows imports trucks to be more reliable than domestic trucks... ir vica versa..

but you know me..

Nothing gets my attention faster than taking a hardball stance on a subject and making unverified or unvalidated statements and declaring them as fact.

personally i think that is whats wrong with the world today, people generally believe any summarization that sounds good to them, without bothering to see if it is true or not.

:D

Ok jack, whatever. I have proof here in my driveway. So do about 20 other people I know.

Im not going to rely on trucks that are for sale for a basis of reliability. Those trucks are for sale because the person selling them doesnt want them anymore...wonder why. Combine that with how chevy/dodge/ford make hundreds of thousands more trucks than toyota/nissan (US market) and its no wonder why you can find 20 or 2000 high mileage american trucks for sale and hardly any japanese trucks.

You are smart enough to know that if you have 10,000 of one thing and 100 of another, that more of the 10,000 group will be represented in a market, than the 100 group.

Why is your beater a Honda? Cause you know that it doesnt matter if it has a billion miles on it...it will still work. cant say the same thing about a chevy cavalier, or dodge neon, or ford escort.

New jap trucks are failing faster and faster... well shit...they are made in america. go figure. (it pains me to say that, but its true)

I am glad this thread exists. It kept me occupied for 10 minutes while I was bored. haha

soooo...... you are basically saying you cant backup what you said.

there is nothing wrong about liking toyota, i dont have any issues with imports myself

but i dont undertsand the practice of making wild claims of import vs domestic and bashing domestics when you cant provide a shred of proof other than "i like toyota"

;)

:t:

EDIT: Ya know what? when you change the filter to go off price or anything other than high mileage, all of the sudden there are plenty of those toyotas for sale.

so i guess the new ones are junk, the old ones dont get sold? lol

Damn dude 6'5' how do u fit in the mustang then? I'm 6'1' and mine doesn't fit me to well. I also drive a 99 ranger that I fit in more comfortably than most everything I have drove. Sucks to c u sell ur car, its one of my favorite cars on here. Hope u sell it quick b4 u change ur mind.

What part of KY u from? I live on the border of OH and WV in Ashland.

The old ones dont get sold all too often.

The old ones are more reliable than the new ones it seems.

I included Nissan. "I like toyotas" has nothing to do with any of this.

Claiming that Japanese vehicles are more reliable than american vehicles is hardly a "wild" claim.

I dont need to back up what I am saying... whats more reliable? Japanese or American? Seriously?

The answer is obvious. No back up needed.

American car makers are getting better these days it seems...hope they keep it up.

My stang was dead nuts reliable...but it likely wouldnt be with 200k on the odo like my toyota.

well without anything to back up your claim it is just a misguided opion.

lol.

sorry man, im at work, and im just real real bored.

lol

My dad's recently retired 1981 Mustang ran fine with 267k miles on it. It was a 6 cylinder.

FWIW.

whats your paypal? steve's mustang is slow as shit... I R WANT MACHS!

Lol, my stang's 5-speed was going out with 121k. I vote your dad's was a fluke

FUCK YOU NICK!

EDIT: yer no fun nick

LOL

"Nitto extreme tires with great traction" LOL

lol... its a very sensible car

You know you want it.

I REALLY want it gone by the weekend so I can pick up this light SUV I want.

i hope your craigslist ad does not go to yer mom's email

lol

My old '98 Sixxer had over 140k and was still going strong with no hint of stopping. There are plenty of documented Mustangs going well over 200k and beyond.

Why?

Uh-Oh........ :rolleyes:

::waits impatiently for the answer::

oh crap, i think i hear somone calling me, ill be back in a week.

Well, on that note I have put in my request to be banned. I don't like this place anymore. So I take back what I said when I said I'll stick around -- I've changed my mind.

Stephen coming back is rediculous -- and real life is more entertaining anyway. I will sell this on my own, get a light SUV and probably never get a mustang again because it has become brutally apparent by this site that only douchebags can drive mustangs. So, goodbye.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WTFZ is happening to the forums?

bye.

My V6 2002 mustange has 180K on it and it still runs strong and my dad's '92 mustang has 134K on it and it is still running strong so yea there is two more that have high miles and still going strong!:)

Burn in hell, bitch.
