Towing - Honda Pilot

Let me be first in line for that Xplan. Give me 2-3 years. (if possible)

   I agree with a lot of the things you have said,but have to question this one-at least in the NE.First,if you actually found one(rust free)the owner would probably want more than 10k for it.Problem is,there aren't many people looking for a truck like that for that kind of money.They would have to have some kind of personal attachment to that type of truck to justify it with so many newer used trucks out there for not much more money.

   Example:my brother in law currently owns an 86 or 87 Chevy 4WD(not sure of the year).It has ,3900,yes 39 H-U-N-D-R-E-D original miles on it.Shortbed Silverado,loaded.It had a 4" lift and 35" tires installed at the dealership when new,before the original owner drove it home.He is the second owner of the truck,and the PO gave him the original unused tires and wheels and all the stock unused parts.It has never been driven in the rain,sat covered in a garage when parked(wheel covers and all),still has the factory stickers on the exhaust and is in absolutely new condition(literally).He wants to sell it,but can't because no one wants to buy a truck that old for that kind of money.He feels it's worth all of 15k,and it probably is,if the right buyer comes along.But that hasn't happened,and as far as I can see,it doesn't matter how nice it is or what you feel it's worth,or how much the "advertised"price is.....If you can't actually sell it,it isn't worth anything.

     By the way,if anyone is interested in buying it,it's probably the nicest Shortbed Chevy in the country that vintage.He hasn't driven it all summer because he doesn't want to roll it to 4000 miles.Truely sad.

Jimbo, I am curious about your stance on the union, the concept is a great one, provide the American worker with a safe and fair working environment, healthcare and pension. Like many other good things it certainly has been abused, so what's the answer? What percent of non union co's/mfr's or products next to the union label provide those things which in turn shelter us as taxpayers from footing the bill?

87BFN, I like Fords and have had good luck with them, last one I had, 01 GT Conv, 5 yrs and 40k never had an issue even as it was primarily used by my teenage Son and the wife.

so , pretty much figured where this thread was headed , simular to my SnoMo forums.

Union / non union , Domestic / Foreign

upfront cost / long term cost
And then I asked my Union Steel Mill Neighbor
how do you feel about that brand new Nisson Maxima ? Reply , oh it's a great car we love it , and what does your union buddies think about it? oh we get a discount because we made the steel............

you should be more worried about the $#@% imported from CHINA , than Japan.

well we wouldn't have to worry about imports at all if we all bought american products. I think every american should have a job, place to live, and food to eat before we worry about what is happening in other countries.

What really pisses me off is when our gov. sends our tax dollars to other countries to help them feed their populations that are out of control. Yet the same gov that helps other countries turns its back on it's own population.
