- loloquwowndueo 4mo agoWhich brand are you thinking of, then?
- CamperBob2 4mo agoDone buying new cars in general. It was always a sucker's game, and now a new car offers little besides various unwanted features and added restrictions, all in support of misguided regulations and other peoples' business models.
- loloquwowndueo 4mo agoUsed cars also have brands! Which one would you be thinking of? Just curious!
- CamperBob2 4mo agoThat's a matter of taste, really. Good-quality brands with historically-good parts support are what I stick with. If you like traditional coupes/sedans, Toyota or Lexus are probably good bets. I just read about a guy who is making a career out of restoring and reselling a specific Lexus model, which I thought was pretty cool: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a71435133/wisconsin-dealer-jdm-tanin-found-a-niche-business-selling-the-2004-2006-lexus-ls-430/ https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a71435133/wisconsin-dealer... That kind of effort is going to become more common over the next few years, IMO. If you like sports cars, Porsche peaked in the early-to-mid 2010s in terms of both quality and features. If you like SUVs, I would think Japanese legacy brands would still be a good way to go. The last car on earth will probably be somebody's Toyota pickup or Land Cruiser from c. 2010.
