Where do you buy your vehicles? Unless I’m buying from someone I know, I buy new, and really take care of it (current car is 2010 4 cyl. Sonata w 242k). I’d be afraid of buying a 3 year old vehicle w 42k that 3 oil changes.

I just gave my 05 GMC Denali XL with 180K to Jr. and picked up a 2016 Denali XL with 39K. Shows and rides like new. And yes, I donate. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

LOL. What a whacko.Would never consider a BMW. They are for people that are trying too hard to look like they have money. Just my 2 cents, but have been seeing this trend for years.
FYI - the long awaited XT6 drops in Detroit next weekend!
How accurate is Carfax? I ask bc my mechanic, who worked at a dealer for 20+ years, told me they’ll generate maintenance paperwork just to get a sale.Carfax and bought it from the dealer that sold it new. Carfax had the dates and mileage of the 6 oil changes within 39K miles and tires rotated at each oil change. CPO, Certified PreOwned, came with factory warranties + extended.

My buddy works for the State Department as an embassy management officer. Employs fleets of Yukon XLs and Suburbans in overseas embassies. Granted, they have a dedicated staff of mechanics and rarely keep them beyond 4 years, but they are reliable and the go-to transportation.Great stuff, thanks! Question, what are you thoughts on large SUVs, talking Yukon, Tahoe, and the like. Any other good options? Obviously, driving experience is secondary, but rather quality and reliability.
My Maxima was much sportier than the Accord, great performance and a good looking car. Since then I’ve had two Infiniti’s. Great cars, and never had an issue with either.What about nissan’s, altimas and Maximas compared to the accord?
Nissan has a garbage transmission right now, their CVT is super loud and unreliable. I wouldn’t touch it at this point, same with Infiniti right now to be honestWhat about nissan’s, altimas and Maximas compared to the accord?

********. With Volkswagen and Audi, I know for a fact, you can't "generate maintenance paperwork" without actually... ya know... doing the work.
There's revenue that's attached to every single one of those transactions. To falsify maintenance records is to falsify the financial records of the dealership. That's not only a criminal act, it's one that is a) 100% guaranteed to get picked up instantly by the manufacturer and b) cost the dealership their franchise.
