Why are there no programs to give cars to students?
I'm 17 going off to college soon, something that always bothered me, why do car companies like gm and ford donate cars to companies for employee cars, which the workers can usually afford their own, but not give cars to students about to attended collage who need a new car but are getting loans galore for an Ivy League school as it is? I really really need a new car for travel, but I can't afford one, and ire just depressing to see rich people get company cars donated by ford gm or Chrysler every few years. (The cars are given to the people not owned by the company I know somone who gets one)
Car companies do not give free cars to the general public contrary to what someone told you. Owning a car and having a driver's license is a priviledge not a right and you have to earn your own.
What makes you think that car companies "donate cars to companies for employee cars"?
- Why would people buy older foreign cars instead of brand new American cars? I see it all the time, people driving 7-8 year old Mercedes or BMWs that they paid probably paid around $20,000. They could of easily gone out and bought a brand new Ford or Dodge, but they didn't. They bought a Mercedes with over 100k miles. All worn and torn on the inside. But aslong as they're shining on the outside I guess.
- Why don't American cars last as long as Japanese cars? My family has owned a Ford Taurus and a Nissan Altima of similar model years. Both cars are still running, but the Taurus has very low mileage (it's a 1999 with only 85,000 miles) and the interior is in horrible condition and the plastics Ford put in have been known for breaking. None of this has happened with the Altima, even though it has more miles. Why?
- Why are some Ford cars (like the Taurus and Focus) such unreliable cars? I'm looking at cars in the $3000 - $4500 range and I'm noticing a decent amount of Ford Taurus's and Focus's and out of all the cars that I see, these are two cars that just seem so unreliable. I test drove a Focus last year and it sounded like something was wrong with the engine.
- NISSAN JUKE is a car out there Jay P, you are wrong. This person responded by saying there's no such vehicle? Anyways if anyone has a view please let me knowIm looking at a Juke, a Mazda 6 and a Ford Fusion to purchase, If anyone can give me a good reason to purchase onw over the others please let me know.
