In Reply to: C'mon, Ghost. All that and you don't tell us what the car is? nt posted by Rick W on May 17, 2022 at 10:33:27:
It's easy to service, inexpensive basic transpo. Minimum of electronic garbage, pretty much just the government mandated stuff.
It's not a dumbass SUV, which means it ain't a Ford or GM product. Yeah, I know GM still technically has two Chevy sedans still in the lineup but the Malibu has reliability issues out the ass, and the Spark is going away at the end of the MY, no local dealers have any to sell.
It's a car I could easily live with myself even though there is no manual transmission available.
Did I also mention that the dealer didn't try to upsell us into a dumbass SUV?
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
