German made excellence... There is no substitute! Isn't that what they've been trying to sell us for generations?
My German made 1994 VW Golf VR6 has traveled well over 300,000 kilometers without any major issues.
How has the Mexican assembled 1994-98 Jetta VR6 fared in comparison?

Let's talk about this german engineering thing for a second.
The only german cars i've ever owned was a VW bug and 4 Porsches.
The bug was unreliable but was so easy and cheeep to fix it didn't count.
The Porsches were all old and mostly modified and had their issues.
Never owned a beemer or mercedes, but based on the market their values drop off the edge of the earth when they hit a hundred grand.
Is that because they start to fall apart, or just because they are so damned expensive to fix (VAT)?
A decent beemer can be had for 5 grand if it has lots o'miles.
A mercedes 500 SL that cost boo-koo dollars new drops to 10 grand when the odo hits 100,000 .(i know boo-koo ain't right but i ain't french).
Most US cars are good for 200k, Japanese and korean cars are good for 300k+ without much drama.
Seems to me that just about every european car is a ticking time bomb that has an expiration date. Planned obsolescence.
Except British cars, they don't last long enough to get an expiration date.
