Would an automobile company being in bankruptcy affect your decision to by a vehicle from them?
Heathen asked:
Would you be less likely to buy from one? Would you totally rule out buying from them? Would it not affect your decision at all?

I won’t buy any auto that is from a company that is controlled by an insatiable greedy union, such as the big three.
I just bought a brand new Honda, it gets great milage, has lot’s of bells and whistles, and the guy gave me a great deal (an 08 not 09), thankyou honda, good product, good price. On the Cape

Of course. I wouldn’t buy a car from a company in bankruptcy. If the auto companies go into bankruptcy then they are finished. tribeca_belle

I did. I own a Daewoo Leganza. I don’t know if it actually qualifies as a bankruptcy, but it was taken over by GM before I bought it. The only way a bankruptcy would worry me is if I were seriously worried that the company would completely go out of business, which is not the aim of corporate bankruptcy. Going bankrupt does not mean going out of business. mommanuke

I would rather by an automobile from a company that filed bankruptcy than from a company that taxpayers had to loan money to. GH

No that is why I don’t buy American cars
?
It is like buying an Indian motorcycle once that company was gone for the third time about 6 years ago
You are stuck with a motorcycle warranty that ain’t worth the paper it is written on
And to Buy a new Edsel or Rambler Nash are two good examples
Where do you get parts for them at
Besides the local junk yard
.
It is to much of a chance to take a gamble on buying a $25,000 automobile that the company is on deaths door steps
America has the only auto manufacturing business that the total of the countries whole production is in jeopardy of closing because
Its own people do not want to buy one
That is a Big STOP sign on the road to anywhere up ahead

I would actually be more inclined to buy one if they are in bankruptcy! The FORMER UAW workers, fresh from their contract being crushed under the big foot of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, would worker harder and better to keep their jobs because union thugs were not defending them. No more job banks, no more full salary pensions and much cheaper, better cars.
Buy U.S., but wait until the UAW folds first. Remember. Bankruptcy does not mean they are out of business, it means that they are protected from their creditors while they reorganize, kind of like “Community Reorganizing” for all you liberal foreign car drivers. VoiceOfReason

It would depend on where they stand after the restructure. It they where profitable and (here the biggie) build a product I wanted or could afford and finance then sure why not. Bear

I wouldn’t buy a car from them anyway, so no it couldn’t.
Did anyone notice that for years, when they showed an American car assembly line on the news, it was always being maned by machines. Now that they want money the lines are being maned by people again. The same people who were fired years ago. badmotherrucker

Less likely, I wouldn’t rule it out, but I would be less likely to buy from them. I have to consider other factors, but in general, I consider it a negative, I also won’t buy gift cards from circuit city since they went bankrupt. It does factor into the risk. wirestrike2002

I would have to say that that would be my last qualm concerning purchasing a vehicle. I think I’d hold out a while to see where oil prices, supply, and international relations are going. I’d probably wait until something 100 percent sustainable came out or if i made my own alcohol for fuel. I’m more concerned with being in that new car ten years in the future in a mile long line to fill up on ten dollar a gallon gas during a global cold war era. c_green

Bankruptcy has nothing to do with it.
I have no money so money is precious.
If I had millions to blow I would go out and buy an American car.
I need a van. Three will work. Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, Nissan Quest. Mazda MPV might be okay.
I am very poor so I look at 2002 to 2004 vehicles.
A 2004 Toyota Sienna is around $14 grand here.
So I look American. Windstar and freestar have plastic engine parts and never run on all six cylinders. Crappy gas mileage.
Chrysler is the best selling minivan. That is why so many folks are not buying Chryslers. Friends have them and cuss them daily.
That leaves the GM vans. Venture, Montana, and the Oldsmobile.
They are all the same. The Olds is cheaper because in 2004 they died. $2500 to $4000 will get a 2004.
Ten thousand dollars cheaper than the Toyota.
They were about the same price new.
American cars might be as good now.
Where I live they are bad resale wise.
I know where two decent used 1998 cars are.
1998 Corolla $9998.
1998 Malibu $1498.
The Toyota has 121k miles.
The Chevy has 108k miles.
They are in the same condition.
I could never afford a car newer than ten years old.
The problem is not the US Autos.
It is what a US Auto is worth.
If I had coin and went to buy a new car.
Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, Mazda, VW, Everybody else. Then Ford, GM, Chrysler in that order.
I need an old van and I rely on donated vehicles so I will probably get another crappy Caravan given to me.
I don’t care how the company is doing.
I care about getting laughed at for driving a Chrysler or Ford van.
My dream is a Toyota Sienna.
That will never happen because I am being punished for serving my country… Broken Veteran
