[QUOTE="RaptorMaryland, post: 1251608, member: 26181"] Just my take, as I believe that this is the model to follow. I had a Saturn (20 years) and a Honda (17 years) and I just change the oil with Mobile 1 every 10k miles. I let a local shop handle brakes and tires, and I AVOID any dealership like the Plague. All they do is break things. With that Car Model you can afford any Car or Truck for 20 years and 200K miles. I did have some stuff go bad in both, and lucky for me my local u-pick-parts had 5 or so identical years cars to get a $30 computer out of. Just match the exact part number and swap, and it works. The Saturn was in a flood in Norfolk and I was able to replace every part I needed from a Junk Yard, and it still went another 100K miles. The Raptor is being bought because its a F-150 as the most sold vehicle in the world and thus the most spare parts available on the planet or universe. Bonus- looking at Honda and Ford parts, I can say that Ford parts are a LOT less in cost even from Ford. All I have to do is make it to the 100K Miles (So I will get the Ford maintenance agreement for $2K) and the spare parts are there for you to get cheep. [/QUOTE]
