There is no car brand I am aware of that I would NEVER buy. Each vehicle transaction I have entered into has been a weighed measurement of the variables, as measured against the price. When I was really poor, I cobbled together $550.00 for a 1963 Mercury Comet that had blown freeze plugs, and the back seat had a 12" tear. I loved that car. I wish I still had that car, because it would now be worth a [expletive] fortune, not to mention that it would be really quite super cool, and fast compared to the cars around it.
Where I live, we all fantasize about EVs, but there is nobody to work on them, so we know we'll ultimately get screwed. We buy vehicles on-line, and hope for the best. Mostly, we buy Hondas. There are dozens of white Honda SUVs around here. I was looking at the Chinese trucks last year, and they look good and are fairly priced, but I couldn't bring myself to endorse the Chinese economy with my purchase. Others here have done so, and the trucks look great. I wish American cars were considered as good a value as Japanese cars, or even South Korean cars. I really believe the U.S. can get back to the good place where they are making solid cars with good value and longevity, along with spiffy features that make us all quivver.
Short answer: I am a vehicle whore. I would buy any car at any time if the price was right.
