The owner of my dealership will periodically complain that he can never manage to sell a new vehicle to any of his service techs.The manual would be great, as well as just a basic work truck...every automaker has gotten way out of control with gadgets and gizmos. So now people think that's the standard. Automakers really need to get back to the basics, build stuff to last instead of building stuff with planned obsolescence and electronic failures LOL.
The ever rising cost of a vehicle compared to the never rising income is a huge upset and as a result some like myself look for great used vehicles to keep from walking. Nothing on the market currently is worth my time and money looking at and buying...maybe in 10-15 years when they've depreciated back to earthly prices but right now nothing out there is worth looking at, and definitely wouldn't be going new ever again, I'll let someone else take that economic hit LOL.
Of course he can't. We make $750 a week, maybe, most of us are the primary or only income of the household, and we see everything that goes wrong with these vehicles, and so we have no confidence in the product.
