(146,281 posts)I think I've seen this before, more than once.
People buy automobiles that fit their unique requirements. They generally consider a range of cars, and then buy the one that is the best fit for their needs. That's what I did.
I researched the market, considered my budget, assessed my warranty requirements, which include a full bumper-to-bumper warranty throughout the time I'm making payments, and compared specifications and other factors. I bought the car that was the best match for my requirements and needs, and am quite happy with it.
I bought it from a U.S. car dealership that employs a bunch of American workers. The car, itself, was made elsewhere.
You may want me to feel guilty, but there was no US-made automobile that met my criteria. The warranty thing was the real killer in that regard. Price was another issue, and the availability of a base model I could purchase.
So, do I feel guilty? I do not. I bought a car that was suitable for my needs and budget, and that included a warranty that will still be in effect when I have finished paying for the car.
Have a nice day.
