I have a '98 Ranger with 210k and it still purrs like a kitten. It has required things here and there, biggest thing being a new timing belt last year.

I just dropped $2600 on a 2010 Aveo for the Wife. I rarely spend much on cars. Hate car payments, plus insurance is cheaper with old cars.

You also don't worry if you ding them up. Adds character.
