Nissan of Lake Charles sucks!

Nothing wrong with foreign vehicles. My nissan has held up way past my expectations.

I keep all my cars for 10 years. I read an article once that said if you don't and you trade every three years that over the course of a lifetime you will pay close to 400k in car payments. I am getting ready to let the wife off the hook on the 2005 Honda Van a little early as she is complaining about driving a nine year old vehicle. I do like the imports for small cars versus American as they are more reliable and hold their value much better. Fort trucks, I buy American; American trucks resale is just a little behind Toyota and ahead of Nissan. I drive a Ford truck and probably always will. I got 215k out of the last one before I sold it and it was still going strong. I have had three of them and all of them were awesome.

My old hoopty is 15 years old. I paid $27K for an F-250 diesel 15 years ago. They are over twice that much now.
Keeping her till she dies. I got a new F-150 2 years ago. If the diesel lasts 20 years, I will get 20 out of the F-150.

My wife drives an 07 Ford 500 with 82,000 miles on it. Just put a second set of tires on it. That was a first! Use to be when it needed new tires I would trade it in.

My truck is an 08 GMC Sierra, The Check Engine light has been on since 30,000 miles. I have changed the upper control arms, i need to get a new set of tires for the rear, I'm going to roll it till the wheels fall off. I bought that truck for 23,000 brand new. There is no way I could touch a similiarly equiped brand new one for less than 30,000 now. I'm not into spending that much money on a truck that drive to a fab yard where they blast and paint and nothing is paved so you have dust all the time.

Nissan= DEMOCRATS

[Driftwood]

Why not buy foreign? Our demestic car factories use foreign OIL to operate!!!

[Top Dawg]

Not to mention since the GM bailout they shut factories down over here and opened them in china. So your American made GM is made in china. Good job bailing them out. They still slipped the taxpayers the boudin. We bail them out they close the factories here and open in china.

[Duck Butter]

Fords and Chevys are completely American made?

Toyotas and Nissans are not all foreign made, some may even be more 'American' than some of the traditional American vehicles

[swamp snorkler]

Camry is the #1 car made in the US of american products

Toyota and Nissan do have more US parts than most domestics, and don't forget... Their plants are right here in the south and use non-union local talent.

Very true!

I've had several customers come in and tell me how they'll ONLY accept American made parts on their "American made" vehicles. I chuckle and tell them that if they can find all of these parts made in America, I'll be happy to put them on their vehicle! Many of our domestic vehicles have parts made in Mexico or Canada.

I can understand not going out of state if you are only going to save 300-400, but I saved well over 2500. If the folks in Texas can sell a truck for that price, why not the dealers in Louisiana, they both pay the same amount for the truck?

I think some of the huge Texas dealers have a very small profit margin and rely on kickback from the manufacturer for shear numbers of cars sold. There are probably some dealers in Louisiana that do the same thing, I just happened to find an incredible deal in Texas.

What I liked most about my transaction in Texas was that the truck was advertised online with the exact purchase price - not MSRP and then a bunch of BS haggling. I called the dealership, asked them if they still had the truck, confirmed the price and picked it up the next morning. I don't know why more dealers don't use the internet for straight up pricing instead of pizzing people off with BS haggling and a salesman that has to run go get his manager every time he wants to give a price. Car salesman will one day be a thing of the past. I don't begrudge anyone making a living, but if they don't have the authority to actually quote a price, why bother. I think in the future you will see more and more dealerships using the business model of very few salesmen and far more internet marketing.
