I wouldn't be caught dead buying a modern GM. Junk. Probably slightly better then say Fiat, still not exactly a good investment. However GM back in the 80's wasn't half bad. Sure they did a lot of badge engineering, and made some mistakes, but modern GM autos are just plain ugly and feel cheap. We have a 2016 Cruz at work, I kinda like how that one looks. But nobody like driving them. Everything just feels cheap and god forbid you got one of them turbo charged 1. 4l engines. Nothing but problems. Sadly that thing sits in the shop more then its driven.

Hey Scotty I have a 6 gen camaro 2SS that I got back in May as a Used car it had A/C problems so I took it to my local Chevy dealership. Apparently it s A/C compressor is failing and needs to be replaced they are charging 1700 for it but the part only cost around 200- 300 should I take it to the dealership or take it to a local mechanic and just order the parts online since I have the part numbers from the cars diagnostic.

Go to a inflation calculator, type in 2001 to 2020, enter 33000 and hit enter. You'll find its equivalent to about 48000 compared to now. So basically it's only gone up a few thousand. Now think about all the technical upgrades. Now think that theres many people who dont buy vehicles to keep for 200, 000 miles. Basically you're getting the same value with only slightly inflated numbers. Not a 20000 dollar difference

My 1999 Silverado that is the same body style and probably rear end as that one, the rear end went out, and it was made in the USA. I will say, my A/C is still good. Transmission shifts good most of the time, but if I have the A/C on a lot and I think it heats the transmission oil cooler up too much, it starts shifting bad. Only when it's hot out. That might be the 5. 3L engine though, mine is the 4. 8L engine.

Scotty, another thing to mention, those older models didn t have GM s AFM (Active Fuel Management) that switches from 8 to 4 cylinders depending on usage. Only later did they discover that all that switching from 8 to 4 cylinder mode caused issues with the rings and lifters causing massive amounts of oil consumption and lifter failure. GM killed the reliability and longevity of these models as a result.

I wonder why Scotty dislikes Mexico? If they are making the differentials that way in Mexico, it is only because GM is telling them to do them that way. It is not like you have something made in another country and you never test them to make sure they are up to your standards. It is called the company's quality control no matter where they manufacture the parts.
