Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 5353667, member: 6158"] One consideration on the availability of parts is now the issue of tariffs. Unless foreign companies are willing to set up a US manufacturer for parts I am concerned that this will have an impact, perhaps significant impact. The good news is being a low milage driver. We may soon have a glut of used cars at lower rates due to a big upturn in auto loan failures. I buy only used, low milage luxury cars (I drive 7 to 10K year) and get them through carfax where I can find lower mileage cars that have a regular dealer repair history, accident history if any and examine the CT required safety inspection report which is law. Important to ask the dealer if he actually made the repairs noted on the inspection. I have even asked the seller to allow me to bring it to an independent dealer (GM, Lincoln etc.) for an independent inspection which costs around $150-200. That's cheap for the peace of mind. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
