When we traded that Legacy in the guy walked around it, started it up and listened for two seconds, and that was it. The engine problems never became apparent until it had been warmed up and it looked right out of the showroom. That engine probably had another couple thousand miles in it but definitely no more.

For the junkers, they usually just offload them at auction for whatever they can get out of it. I'm no used car sales expert, but I would venture a guess that them buying your junker as a trade-in is tax deductible as a write off loss.
ChadTower:
Don't know that I'd call that car a junker... toss a new short block in and it was actually a really nice car. We just didn't want it anymore after having had to pay to fix the AWD tranny that cost so damn much.

FWIW... I had a '96 full size Bronco, 5.8L v8, way past 100,000 miles with absolutely not ONE problem, aside from routine maintenance like belts and fluids, etc. Compared to my two Honda Accords, and my Audi A4, the bronco was far and away the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Not to mention, it was unstoppable in snow, mud, and off-road. I'm still kicking myself for selling it.
That being said, my dad has a Toyota 4Runner, that has also been incredibly well-made and reliable.
ChadTower:
Unstoppable in snow, mud, rain, earthquake... so long as there is a gas station every 100 miles. :laugh2:
