Ahh yes, the poster boys of reliability and longevity!  I think you can actually get 2000km on the average Lamborghini before it needs a $175,000 re-build.  Oil changes cost about $1,800 and you need them weekly ..

Great cars!

(I am exaggerating, but no by much..)

Best to buy a Volvo then  :-DD

TomKatt:
Circling back on topic a bit, I'll go out on a limb and predict that a cheap Owon scope will outlast any of the car brands recently mentioned  :P

pcprogrammer:
I have my doubts. 14-20 years is a long time for cheap electronics.

These cheap scopes can arrive broken at your doorstep for that matter. Happened with the first FNIRSI 1013D I bought. There was an issue with the touch screen. Basically the reason I landed on this forum  >:D

But for only 25 euro (35 after replacing the touchscreen and glass panel I broke) it brought me many hours of fun.  :-+

mikeselectricstuff:
Once out of warranty, power supply is probablty the most likely failure, and that will usually be dried caps, so a simple fix, so I wouldn't have many concerns about longevity
