I would buy a Ford; I don't wanna an undervalue car

I never saw the point in buying them before. They never really made quality vehicles. Now I just have another reason not to.

I'm happy with my Chevy. Its reliable, gets good mileage, is fast, and handles good.

if they dont make your corvette anymore the one you have or buy now will put your 4 kids through college if they a 4 years old now dont worry the usa is not going out of business and these amateurs that are running it wont be there forever

Between the two of them, I'd prefer a GM. They have better and more appealing designs, unlike the dodge sedan line ups (their truck and minivan are the only good parts).

zachash1

I prefer Fords and Mazda products.
I will avoid buying another GM product (I have owned a few, one was too many and I did not learn the first time).
I might give Chrysler a chance if I knew that there were no Mitsubishi parts in it. But having been around when Fiat was marketed in the US before, I am not so sure that Fiat can help Chrysler regain the spot in my heart that the Dodge products had in my heart or the Jeeps did in my wifes.

GM but just cuz chrysler is going bankrupt doesnt mean u shouldnt buy there cars
You can actually get a good deal on their car since every dealer is worried about the bailout

Ermin B

Neither. I have been a staunch supporter of North American cars and manufacturers for over 45 years. And for 45 years they have been selling me slipshod workmanship and incomprehensible warranties.

It's time to give the 'other guys' a shot at my hard earned dollar. Toyota or Lexus is next on my list.

Rapid Fire

both

Unless you have been under a rock ALL cars lose money when you drive them off the lot. It's called depreciation!!!

THE UNCOOL 1

I'll stay with ford for my truck

Nissan or mazda for a sports car.

Benny Afro

Like someone else said,I don't know of many vehicles that go up in value unless they are classic vehicles.The Jeep Wrangler is rated as the #1 vehicle that holds it's value.I just bought a new Dodge Ram 2500HD,my 3rd one since 1996 and love it.The first 1 had over 400,000 miles on it and still ran great.

All company's are going to go broke. These are the Capitalist days. The people with money are only investing in money (banks and financial institutions) Greed has clouded their minds. Until the mental midgets start investing in job producing corporations again. Don't buy any thing.

wmf936

Neither.....

mokume

Now's a great time to get a good deal. If you depend on your dealer for after-sale service, find out if they're on the chopping block and then see where the nearest dealer will be. There's plenty of good car repair shops around without having to use the dealer for every little thing. I only go back to the dealer when there's a recall.

I will buy american made thats all that matters.

Is GM and Chrysler going bankrupt?

chrysler is being bought out by fiat and idk about gm other than there dropping the pontiac and saturn brand

CuzCuz

Yes.

So now you have the full story. Chrysler already declared, but GM is going to declare bankruptcy by June 1.

Firebird

Yes...some divisions will survive...but expect a very different GM and Chrysler

RStarga...

what you do not know is that CEO 's want that to happen. IF NOT why they spend the last 20 years making CRAP cars so Expensive ?
even the magazines Car&Driver and Motor Trend admits and give us the list of the worst crappy american cars and they are not a match for japanese or eurepean cars. i am going to give you some examples.

dodge omni, celebrity,pontiac 600, fiero,Aries K , jeep cherokee,trans am, camaro dead and could be revived for what? anyway is going to be too expensive.

edwinjoel22

GM is bankrupt. They took billions of our dollars months ago because they couldn't pay the bills. Where I come from that means Bankrupt. They just haven't made it official yet.

And if Chrysler's deal with FIAT falls through they've had it too.

Rapid Fire

They are not going out of business,they are reorganizing.Fiat isn't buying Chrysler,they are going to form an alliance with Chrysler.

toledojeeper

chrysler has filed and government motors will be next.

Steve

Chrysler is already in bankruptcy proceedings. Fiat is new owner, by government fiat.

GM is on the verge. Expect it before summer, more likely 2 June. Pontiac is history. Probably Saturn too, at least as part of GM.

Ford will survive. BO and Company will pressure them to absort assets, workforce and liability. Watch.

As always, follow the money.

97 chrysler lhs 98k miles just had water pump and timing chain replaced now shop tells me?

still overheating wants to tear apart says maybe head gasket or heads need shaving should I put money into that year of car says will cost about 1500 to 2000 besides 700.00 already put into for water pump not sure if worth it.

Asked by: Nancy M @ 2009-05-16 17:07:07

Answers ::
sooooo/what can you buy for 1500 to 2000?? what was the complaint when you brought the car in/did you say it overheats or did you say replace water pump//if they diagnosed it wrong they have some obligation to you on added repairs/ask for a deal dont be bashful its your money/point out that if you knew it need 2700 to fix it you may not have had it fixed//their approach to this is very amatuer

ken k

Just do the math. What is it worth now? If you put $2k into it what will it be worth? Kelly Blue Book says it is worth $1.5k - $2.3k as a trade in. If you sell it yourself then the book says $2.7k - $3.6k.

So if you put $2k into it and then sold it you could come out $700-$1.6k ahead.

Don't for get to add the hassle factor of getting the work done and then selling it. What ever you chose, Good Luck!

Robert

Hey are you adding coolant to your radiator and are you blow white smoke out of your muffer if the awser is no then is not your head or your head gasket check your thermostat

William

How's the thermostat?

done wrenching

Everyone has a good answer. But I would question the repair shop. If you brought the car in overheating and had the work done and it is still overheating the diagnosis was not completely and thoughtfully done correct. Sound like they are just hit and missing. And how can you trust them to fix the problem since they screwed up the first time, granted 15-27 what are you going to get for that kind of money? But then should you really trust them pulling apart your engine where they didn't even get it right with a water pump. And if the pump is still around ask to see it and have them explain what and why the cause of the over heating problem

rick b

they are trying to screw you. I have an eagle vision, the same damn car. mine was overheating...was the thermostat. 12 dollar part!!! I replaced it myself in about 20 minutes. unless you are leaking oil like a siv and you have smoke coming out of the exhaust; blue of white, it is not the heads. they are dumbasses. I have replaced head gaskets before and this doesn't sound like that at all. tell them to replace the damn thermostat and see if that works. tell them I called them a bunch of retards for good measure.

Who are you?

Is the name of that shop called Rabbit Hole Service cause any professional shop would have done the proper testing to see what the problem was. this a classic example of ineptness or them taken u down the hole If they were reputable they would minus the cost of the chain and pump from the head-gasket ..And you could go head and have them repair the gasket and have the bottom of the engine go, there are no guarantees.and then you will be looking at a whole rebuilt motor..Time for that LHS to follow its maker

Steve from PA

How can you get chrysler car parts?

I am looking at buying a Jeep and it includes a life long power train warranty but with Chrysler going out of business how will people who have their products be able to get parts to fix up their cars in a few years if they are no longer making parts for them?

Asked by: sowhatsyawant @ 2009-05-16 00:31:20

Answers ::
There will always be parts through aftermarket makers, at least until the vehicle is about ten years old. Many parts well after that.

Danny B

Chrysler will be obligated to produce parts for their vehicles for ten years after the last car is made. Car companies do that now. So if you have an 1999 model the company can start discontinuing parts. So us the taxpayer will be supporting Chrysler's part manufacturing if they go under.

Phill

chrysler and dodge dealers are still there. they only closed down dealers that have no potential. you can get mopar (chrysler) parts at your local dealer.

T A

Chrysler is not out of business. They are still making cars, service parts, and shipping both to dealerships where you can exchange money for them.

emiller1998

only the unlucky dealers got a letter Thursday that they were going to be shut down.you can still buy mopar parts at the dealer,soon to be fiat.

Steve

Chrysler isn't going out of business yet,and even if they did Jeep would be sold to another company.The warranties if Chrysler goes out of business will be backed by the US Government.

toledojeeper

chrysler isnt going out of business just their cutting down on dealerships

Does Chrsyler still honor warranties on their cars?

I have a 2008 Chrsyler 300 and would like to know if their warranty is still in effect.

Asked by: roger o @ 2009-05-16 18:24:33

Answers ::
Yes,they are not out of business and if they were the US Government is backing the warranties.

Rickb..the US Treasury has said they will back the warranties of Chrysler vehicles if they go out of business.

toledojeeper

Yes. Chrysler will reportedly continue to operate under their bankruptcy. As long as your warranty is still valid and you can find a authorized dealer to service it, you should be in good shape.

Even over to the long run, I doubt your warranty will be affected no matter who owns Chrysler. I don't think a bankruptcy judge will let the warranties go. I'm willing to bet that even the US gov would stand by them if they absolutely had to.

?

Yes they are, even in chapter 11, and with the 800 dealerss being closed. You just may have to drive a little further to get the work done. And even if Chrysler goes bust some investment group will pick up the contracts since they are worth money.
And NO the goverment will not honor nor pay the warranties the goverment is not in the business of repairing cars

rick b

Yes but best believe when you go to the dealer have proof all of your scheduled services, remove any aftermarket stuff like Diablo tunning, mods etc, cause the warranty guy will be getting tougher and looking closer at warranty work and be looking for any reason to void your contract..

Steve from PA

yes

Steve

Yes, the dealers that are still open will honor all Chrysler warranties.

C-Tech

Bankrupcty does always relieve them of warranty responsibilities, although it has. But in the wacky world we live, or at least under he new owner BO and Company, you're covered. They said so.
