In my life I have only bought one foreign vehicle, a Volvo, which was ultimately bought by Ford. Its periodic repair bills were expensive in the extreme, which I attributed to the fact that the dealer felt that his franchise was superior. Other than that one time (although I inherited my father in law's 1961 VW) I have stuck with GM, from a 1957 to a1966 and a 1972 Impala which I still own. Currently I own an '05 Buick SUV and a '90 Sierra pickup. Both have had excellent repair records and except for minor problems, such as lights going out, I go to the dealer for oil changes and periodic maintenance requirements.
