Ted, > In truth, I would buy a Volt over a Beamer Please let us know when you do. Meanwhile, my Beamer is coming up to the 150K mile mark. Not too shabby. Mine's got 55k and I just found out the rack and pinion steering is leaking oil. One thousand smackeroos to replace. Not a happy camper.

"Meanwhile, my Beamer is coming up to the 150K mile mark. Not too shabby." Any car made today by any manufacturer worldwide can get 250,000 miles easily. My used Ford Windstar has 180,000 and runs like a top. I like to buy USED cars that have 150,000 on them, because I KNOW I can get 100,000 miles out of them for chump change. We've come a long way from when a VW Beetle was considered a reliable car because they didn't need a new engine for 60,000 - 80,000 miles!
