Well, I’m not sure what to think of this study. I’ve had both Foreign and Domestice vehicles. I bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla, just over 100k miles currently, and the only money I put into it besides regular maintenance was a starter ($200 maybe). I also had a 2001 Chevy Malibu that I sold in 2013 with over 200k miles. It had it’s issues but the only real money I put into it was a catalytic converter ($300 maybe), sure the A.C. stoped working in 2010, but I didn’t fix it, I didn’t need it and it never affected it from starting. So I have mixed emotions, also it is worth noting that I took care of both cars equally.
