Older Vehicles --
Most Reliable for the Long Haul
Every pricing page
has a link that gives users the opportunity to sound off about
their car. This survey has been filled out by thousands of
consumers, allowing us to present you with data supported by a
large sample of ownership experiences. These are actual
results, and there are some surprises.
Rankings are based
on receiving an "excellent" overall rating with
no problem areas. Keep in mind that this is a high
standard--particularly for an old car. In the case of
older models, this is a vehicle that has needed no more than one
unscheduled repair and rarely needs anything other than
regular maintenance and scheduled service. Data covers all
models and model years from 1990 to 1999.
