I don't want a car that I have to worry about replacing an engine or tranny right out of the gate. I don't give a crap how good the rep of Honda and Toyota are.

Anecdote- i sold my 91 accord to the kid down the street 3 years ago. I see it driving past my house every day of the week. Had 220,000 on it when i sold it. It has been my experience that you will get your money's worth from that type of car. Or keep considering shit like explorers.

No matter what you are looking at ask for the service records, last oil change, etc. Cars can run forever if they're taken care of. You might find a 200k mile car that has just had some major work done on it that may ease your mind. |

Can't get that from dealerships. I absolutely ask for the records but most people don't keep them. Hell, I generally don't keep them either but I drive my car till it drops and then do a trade in. I don't want to hassle with trying to sell it on my own.
