I drive a Toyota Camry 1998 model with 170K on the clock. Has served me well over the 8 years I've owned it. Reckon it has another 100K in it.

For billions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your Mum and Dads side, successfully looked after and passed onto you life.  What are the chances of that like?

The Geek Mobile is almost new again! After $2,500 this week we have a new cam belt, fan belt, water pump, water seal, 100,000 km service complete, all fluids and filters changed...

Yes, it seems it cost more for a 100,000 service on a Chrysler than to buy a second hand Japanese import :(

IlDuce: My most recently purchased car, a 1998 Ford Mondeo, when it came time to sell, nobody wanted it. I dropped the price down and down, and in the end it was $300 and STILL nobody wanted it, so I took the goodies off and kicked it in, then took it to the car crusher.


Wow... It was a 12 year old car. Unbelievable how something that is (most of the times) the second most expensive purchase some people make comes down to nothing.

They seem to be a very nice car when they have low milage on them but when I was looking at older Mondeos last time I went car shopping they appeared to be notorious for oil leaks, and we are just in the process of getting rid of one from the fleet at work because it is costing a fortune every time it goes for a warrant or service.

I think I'll stick with Japanese myself, although I have to admit that I wouldn't mind giving Skoda a try.
