Same bought my cheapo gas saver commuter for 10,800 brand new 10yrs ago. 250k miles later minimal maintenance stuff never touched a single thing on engine or driveline but hey let’s all run out and buy some 125k dollar electric car though cause it made it 200k 😆. Make me a ev that isn’t goofy looking, cost under 20k, gets a real 400mile range and then I’ll get excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, mines a company vehicle, they bought it for $5,500 at auction with 83k on the ticker.. it's been a solid vehicle, I'd jump in it tomorrow and drive it across the country without a care in the world and beat a Tesla there every single time..... Something that just popped into my mind, I have a company gas card to use so I can do my job..They got company electric cards yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I bought a 2015 disposable Kia Forte EX for cheap to commute with and put I set of plugs, a set of tires plus the snows and I set of brakes. It was a 5spd and averaged 5.3/litres/100 kms and got rid of it with 335K ( just over 200K miles). Oil changes became rare and would add a litre when the lifters clattered going around a corner lol. It owed me nothing and the guy that bought it drove it away happy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) My dad gave me a 89 Toyota truck in 2002. I drove it till 2010… Gave it back to him, he sold it, guy ran it another 5 years or so. Almost 400k when I was done. Water pump/ timing belt, brakes, mufflers(many), plugs(250k), alternator brushes, not one bearing or front end part. Original clutch. Free is good 👍 The day I gave it back.

Didn't say that, but the way they are promoting these EV's, they make it sound like one can simply drive off into the sunset with them forever. People will learn the hard way, just like what we are currently seeing with the other green energy nonsense. It's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there definitely are, but the good thing if you have a motor issue there are plenty available. Under a grand with shipping is a lot better than 14k and most people with some mechanical abilities can do a swap themselves with some basic tools..I'm not sure I would be wanting to tackle replacing a power cell, but that motor I would.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it is a young kid who wanted to go green, so he bought what he could or his parents could afford.. Should he or they have gone out and taken a loan out for a 60k car for him to go work at the local super market? That a sound financial decision? This is my whole hang up with EV's, they are unaffordable for young drivers and unaffordable for low middle class folks..An EV would be perfect for my daughter, would totally get her one if it was right for what we need and affordable, it's just not the case.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EV's are being touted as being greater than sliced bread by a bunch of used car salesmen. People, including myself, have posted the downside of them, but you'll never see or hear those on the liberal funded MSM sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
