That would depend on the exact circumstances.

given that we're talking the "Big 3", from whom I wouldn't buy a car even if they were amazingly solvent, the question is moot.


Looking at it hypothetically, as in "if Company A made a car you would be interested in buying, would you still buy it if the company were in bankruptcy?" I'd have to then say "what kind of bankruptcy?"


If it were Chapter 11, I wouldn't have an issue.

Yes we would. We love our Ford cars. We can't wait to buy a new Truck from them.

I voted no, BUT if there was some guarantee that parts and service would be available for 10 years, I'd consider it.

It's unfortunate.


I'd happily buy an American car I liked.

I wonder the same thing.

Maybe there should be a new "chapter" of bankruptcy.
