Best Used Cars vs. Worst Used Cars

You are free to believe whatever you chose, but you are fool if you think
that every new car of every brand is the same and even more of a fool if you
believe they are the same after being used for thousands of miles, by
thousands of differant buyers, in innumerable differant circustances, go
back in you hole dummy

First, you should not be calling other people "dummy." Pot meet kettle.

Second, different models, will last different lengths of time. For
example, if you buy a used Toyota model with the known sludging problem,
you will have a lower chance of having a car that will go the long
distance without a major repair.

In the field of medicine, it's impossible to predict how long one will
live. However, on average, one who eats well, exercises, doesn't smoke,
keeps his/her weight down, will live longer than someone who is fat,
eats like a pig, doesn't exercise and smokes like a chimney. On average.

If there are two cars, model a and model b, and you know that model a
lasts longer than model b, on average, then the particular car that is a
model a will probably last longer than the particular car that is a model b.

The key words are "on average" and "probably."

If you buy a 1987 Yugo and a 1987 Corolla, chances are that the Corolla
will be running long after the Yugo.

You're totally correct that you can't say for sure. But, that doesn't
mean that knowing the durability of particular model doesn't add useful
information, either.
