All right, Bluesky — who here has purchased a vehicle from a defunct (or currently going defunct/at-risk) company? Got (or had) a Fisker, Lordstown or a different car from a company that's gone kaput? I want to talk to you: sschrader@cars.com

All of my cars except for a momentary Subaru were from the same company that GM murdered. MURDERED!

We had a Saturn for a while after they ended. Didn’t have any connectivity. All that was different was “go to the Buick place”, but we never went to the dealer anyway.

Totally not going to help with your story because I only had it while they were still in biz but can we pour one out for Saturn? Absolute unit.

i had a brand new 2006 scion xA in 2006 and a very used 2006 pontiac grand prix gt in 2016 so some real highs and lows there but none i feel competent talking about. it would just be how much i loved the xA and how much i hated the grand prix

Had a scion but the FRS is so similar to the Toyota and Subaru that it never crossed my mind to be concerned. But owning a Fisker right now? I’d be worried

No BUT related note I just had a conversation about this and Tesla because of this article from last year.
Typically collectors get a classic car from 40? 50? years ago, they put gas in it… tada! It runs!
What happens with Teslas when they’re no longer supported?

I had a 2001 Saturn SC1 for a few years. I loved that car, but I didn't like the fact that it only had drum brakes in the back.

Does it count if the company left the U.S. 30 years before I bought it? (Asking for a friend. Although I know a guy who bought a Medallion in 1990 and it was in the junkyard by 1992.)
