I'm not a "Ford" guy, either. I've never really been a "brand" guy as much as I've been a "model" guy. And the Fords I have owned—Mustang, F-150, Escape—have been excellent vehicles (other than the Escape's rusting wheel wells).

Ford dealers, on the other hand? Best Ford in Nashua has to be the single worst dealership in America. Ira in Manchester = much better. Londonderry Ford = perfect...so far.

I'm a retired mechanic of 50 years and hate working on my own vehicles. So, I try to buy vehicles that I know are low maintenance. This is my first Nissan and I'm pleasantly impressed with it and the dealer I purchased it from, Team Nissan in Manchester.

Totally agree, and I'm only 48.

In terms of low maintenance, my 4Runner was light-years ahead of every other vehicle (20+) I've owned.

We have extended warranties on both our current vehicles and take them to the dealer for service. Peters Nissan charges $130 for synthetic oil change, rotation, vacuum, and car wash. I wish Londonderry Ford would throw in the wash, and everything would be perfect!

I get 4 free oil changes, just got my first one. They only get $39.95 for a synthetic oil change and $44.00 for a tire rotation, very reasonable.

$40 for full synthetic?! That's nuts. The oil alone would be $27 or something at Walmart. Enjoy that while it lasts!
