Re: S80 Reliability/Quality? S80 2002

Sort of scary report on S80 reliability.

Interesting, we looked at an Altima. That is a very nice car. Not exactly what we are looking for, want something a bit more upscale. I also had a 1986 Maxima. Liked it so much I bought a 1989 and 1991. Sold the ’86 to my son at 100,000 miles he drove it to 190,000. It was not exactly trouble free, but a good car. We also did all the maintenance ourselves and by the book. Used Mobil 1 oil. The engine was the best thing in that car, running perfectly when he sold it. Had to have the transmission rebuilt. That was the only major problem. Interesting job to pull and replace the transmission on a front wheel drive car. We learned a lot on that job. Sold the ’89 to the same son, Has about 140,000 on it now.

Go drive a 3.2TL Type S Acura. Bet you will really like it.
