He's lucky he's not in Jersey because the answer would be "A higher insurance premium". NJ sucks.

yeah but how much did you spend for all those mods? Were you able to take them out before they took the car?

Thumbs up JD Power...

hey Redhot,

check out this link on problem cars. This might be helpful when chosing a new or used car. Audi is way below avergage for dependability. but you never know. Hope this helps.

Yang, Don't get ML-series. They got really bad reliability. Get the 540's man, you get a strong V8 and potentially can make an M5 out of it.

thanks! I didn't know Kia's last place! I guess that's why they need the super long warranty...

and wow... Land Rover's that bad also?

Thanks for your help guys!
