    Amid rising fuel and car prices in the USA, some are longing for those banned Chinese EVs.


    Just a thought, if I were to buy a new Corolla, the cheapest I found within a few hundred miles from here is just over $23,000 which would be over $300 a month including a trade-in and about that same amount for the insurance just for the wife and me, plus at least $150 per month in fuel costs. Add in saving for tires and doing normal maintenance and suddenly I'm not that far from $1,000 per month. Or I can take off about $100 per month if I get a used one.

    It would seem people that want to buy an imported car of any kind - never contemplate whether there is service for that vehicle or not.
