Ford still hasn't figured out how to build a gas tank...

Just about every thing in NY was a gas tank recall or fuel pump recall or fuel tank strap recall....

I know, I fixed them.
I drive Chevy Silverados. What's that tell ya...

800 for a fuel pump? In an 01 focus wagon?

Car isn't even worth 800! No offense... they're a dime a dozen. 01... Oh boy wait til the valve seats let go...

That was a common one... starts out making a ping type sound. Then. Rattles and clunks... check engine light will blink like a strobe light from the un burnt unmetered fuel entering the EPA mandated catalytic converter. It will plug up solid. So after you paid another 500 for a head or 800 for a complete junkyard engine now your adding a cat to the equation...

Better offload that thing ASAP. If it's rust free ship it to the north east where cars rot. You'll get your money back.

My brother works for infiniti and says that Chinese students come in to buy cars all the time and that their parents pay for them with cash sent over from china.....
If they are making them there to sell IN China fine. Great business move. However if we import them into the U.S. I certainly would not buy one.

In that case, don't buy a Buick Envision mid-size SUV. Made in China!

With large corporations doing damage to Christians, who needs Muslims?

Which is a shame because Vauxhall and Opel were a good brand at one time.

Whilst Chrysler is part of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. and has it's HQ in London.

Trump trying to turn the tide of globalisation is akin to King Canute setting his throne by the sea shore and commanding the incoming tide to halt and not to wet his feet and robes.

Not a problem. I will not buy a vehicle which does not have a 1 as the first digit in the serial number.
