I have a Nissan crew cab I bought new in 2000. Built somewhere in
Tennessee(As in USA). I am over 210,000 miles.
I have replaced:
3 head lights(one was under warranty)
The fuel pump(at 180,000)
The battery (Twice)
The timing belt(every 90,000)
The brakes
The tires(twice)
The Air conditioner compressor(150,000)
The truck still runs well. Whenever I looked under the hood of a GM the
parts did not look as solid as Honda, Toyota, or Nissan.
I am looking at price per mile and quality.

Buy American! Who cares about quality and price?
