Re: GM-Chrysler Merger Talks to Intensify After Election

[Leslie Thrasher <redred1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to find another dealer.  My 97 Dakota 5.2 4X4.. w/142K miles is
still worth $6475 in NADA book last month.  My daughter  bought a 2000
Cherokee 4.0 for $2500 to use on the farm 2 years ago and she wouldn't sell
it for what she gave for it!!!!!!!!  Jeep gets good mileage, about 22,
Dakota only about 17 when I am pulling stumps with it!!  Feel like both will
still be working when the Honda is a lid on a can of Beany-Weenies!!!

the money still goes out of country. I give no crap on gas mileage or
longivity, because I only see old American cars still going, not econo
foreign crap. Think about this for a second or two, If it gets good mileage,
it does not hold its value. If it gets what many call, bad gas mileage, it
goes up in value. Obviously their are a few things to also consider, like,
muscle or convert or fin ear cars, as these do go up in value. I figure the
gas mileage is made up in higher value as I drive them. The other is the
repair of an older car in maintenance is lower than the repair of a econo
car. Ever check what a trans axle cost to repair? Starter or air conditioner
on a newer car? How about the cost of gas compared to blood? I will always
take the bigger, heavier American over the loss of blood against a small
foreign or American made small car. I win everytime. I could go on, but I
love to tinker on my old cars more. later, joe machado
