Are they any 'count?
Language barrier. he's still learning TexianNot sure I follow...what’s a ‘count?
Thanks for the correction.Installed in Louisiana though.
That's certainly been my impression from a distance. I've never owned a foreign car (in the classic sense), and it would take some intestinal fortitude to buy one based on the notion you have to keep it in warranty and be prepared to visit the dealer a lot. I'm just not a fan of the Japanese vehicles, little things like their switch gear and control layouts bug me. I could deal if the performance was there, but it's usually not. The Lexus GS-F is visually interesting other than the weird grille, but it's slow and reportedly handles like poop.Seems people can't get rid of them fast enough once the warranty runs out and the costs start coming directly out of their pocket. When I owned mine it was a challenge to find a competent mechanic that didn't charge an arm and leg. If you do your own work they can be wonderful cars though.

Nothing depreciates faster than a large German sedan.

Well I am currently driving a 2015 VW Beetle TDI (diesel) for my commuting needs. This is the last of the TDI's and the last of the Beetles as well. It makes a good commuting car. I drive the 1935 on the weekends to shows and such and date nights with the wife. I also keep an old Ford truck around (inline 6 cylinder, manual trans) for any work that needs to be done. I have a cable and software that allows me to look at and monitor/program the software on the Beetle. The 1935 and truck are old school.

If you want to test your DIY mechanic mettle, buy a Jag. German cars are easy.intestinal fortitude
If I had the time and found a Jag I liked enough, I could see myself buying one and LS swapping it. Way back when I was very close to swapping an E46 but I did a Mustang instead (before everyone and their Mother started doing it).If you want to test your DIY mechanic mettle, buy a Jag.

I learned that one through observation. Cousin had a Spitfire. It ran, once.Jags are for sissy’s. Buy a Triumph or MG if you’re into pain

You didn’t sell your TDi back to VW?
They were offering to buy cars at close to original MSRP due to DieselGate.

Hey now! My first car was an MGB. I drove it for years and it never stranded me. I did rebuild the motor, suspension, put a different transmission in, different carb, different fuel pump, re-did the electrics etc. though. At least I learned a lot.Jags are for sissy’s.
