Yes, I suppose you're right. Just let them find out the hard way. Good luck on your purchase of a true American classic. And if I ever find a 4-door delta 88 or 98 I'll add it to my collection. One things for sure though, I'll never sell my beloved Crown Vic and Grand Mar. Who knows, they'll probably outlast me!

If someone decided to buy an import, it was likely because they experienced or felt that buying a domestic was a waste of their hard earned cash.
Reputations take a long time to build up, but a short time to be diminished. Any tradesman can tell you that.
Remember, as was pointed out earlier, Consumer's Report and many other auto journals for over that last ten years and beyond have regarded the Asian imports as 'Best Value' or Car of the Year' for reasons that included amongst others, superior reliability and fuel 'economy'.
On that basis alone, it seems that you are the one who doesn't know any better, even when the proverbial writing was on the wall.
