I am amazed. The car is excellent condition and it still runs. These are the American cars of yesteryear . They were well made , well designed, and accepted very well by the world. Good for her. Go grandma. Is she still driving it at 91???? She may need to have her vision checked
i am actually pretty confused on the lifetime warranty. i would think stuff like shocks are tear and wear items
They are, but once upon a time a lot of aftermarket replacement manufacturers, in an effort to pull business away from the OEMs offered "lifetime" warranties on things like mufflers, batteries, shocks, brakes, and a few other items. They assumed that 95% of original owners wouldn't own the car for more than five years, or put more than 50K miles on them, so offering a long warranty wasn't much of a risk for them.
Now that people often put well over 80 - 100K on a car, those "lifetime" warranties are disappearing. Some rather poor designs cost a fortune to keep in replacements. Our faithful '92 Grand Voyager has a resonator located so far aft that unless the grocery-getter is driven for 20 minutes, the exhaust from the little Mitsu V6 never warms that distant muffler above boiling. That means it condenses a lot of water and rusts out about every two years. I solved the problem with a stainless exhaust system and eliminated the resonator. Of course, it sounds a bit like a party favor, but at least I'm not buying resonators every couple of years . . .
