Of course, stuff like transmissions, master cylinders, water pumps, fuel pumps, alternators, exhausts, radiators, electrical components (window motors, door lock actuators, antenna motors etc.) suspension components, and the usual maintenance related issues must all be timely tended to in order to make it a feasible reality. Most give up or simply get tired of the car long before that.

I paid $800 for my 97 Avalon 270k miles and I think I was paying to much 😂😂😂

Whoa,,got mine close to 300 000,,engine runs and sounds better then other different yr models cars I've seen in the road

Did u buy it new?

what toyota??

Amazing. There are still several for sale across the US with 400k plus.

I replaced a nice 96 LT-1 Caprice with a super low mileage Mercury Grand Marques and love it.

My '03 Town car has 214,000 and the only maintenance has been standard wear parts, brake pads, ball joints and shocks. For 177 bucks I replaced the leaking rear shocks with a coil spring kit from the auto parts store. It pays to have a spare coil pack and a code reader with you. Comfortable and dependable.

We have one pushing 600k original engine and transmission

future classic in 10 15 years

You can do it. Just maintain the oil big dawg.

I thought the same thing for my 1998 Toyota Corolla but decided to buy a new car, it's ordered right now, I'll probably take delivery in early October. I had 2 major back surgeries this year and my days of a standard transmission are over. I ordered my car because it could be my last and for once I wanted exactly what I wanted. No compromises. I got a Ford Escape Titanium with almost everything, I didn't get the locking lug nuts because I can get hello kitty ones on Amazon.😂 I went from roll up windows to a car I can talk to.

I agree. My 4.6 97 gt has 243k and i drive it everyday

Steering assembly gave out on my 2004 CV-mechanic said could only get a used kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9mcgNl8rNKRYmQ.html part. Intake manifold goes bad. $1,500.00 to fix. Extremely comfortable, best sound system ever (built in sub woofer). Maybe good if you can fix cars yourself. Everything extremely expensive to fix I guess because a lot of police use them and they know they can gouge the taxpayer. Got over 200k miles on it

only problem with your toyo hondas and nissans they have the rubber band for timing my 3.8 gm has original timing chain CHAIN most of the rubber bands are tobe replaced around 100000

My echo has a chain 230000 kms on the engine problem in the north is the body rots I pay 300-800 for these used cars. By the Time I'm ready for the safety they cost me 1200 total with safety

every 95,000 on the 2010 and older Lexus. Since 2010/11, they use a chain.

I get vans for $300 to $500 in AZ engine's von half off days are only $136

A very good strategy Tom, the money saved with no depreciation, no expensive full coverage insurance and no intrest on loans could be more than enough to fund a IRA and amount to very large sums of money over 30-50 years. Also if you get stuck with a Hoopdie how cares your only out a small amount and get some back at the junk yard. I buy mine for around 3 to 5 thousand take good care of them and sell them 5 to 6 years later for about half what I paid then upgrade to a newer one.

Team DoolinnBlessUpp I bought a RAV4 years ago with an oil pump seal leak for $400. I changed the seal timing belt and water pump. It only had 110K miles when I got it. Few months later someone crashed into me and totaled it. Insurance gave me almost $5800 for it. The short time I had it the car ran great.

I have a 2000 Camry I bought it with 900 miles on it, was a rental that was in 2001 I love it, has 287,894 miles on it I have changed the timing belt 3 times I think brakes once and just general repairs not much though...I live in Florida and yes the air STILL WORKS!

Keep an eye on the transmission fluid, especially if it's the V6.

The transmission is ready to go on that Honda. Those model are infamous for transmission failures. I had one lucky it lasted to 172,000 miles and the transmission died.

You're right, I get 35mpg highway with my 1996 Buick park avenue and 38mgp highway with my 1998 Buick lesabre.

My town car needed rear springs before u did any engine work that's it

Ray, I have a 2002 Lincoln Town Car that on a recent 815 mile trip from Florida to Maryland got 25.2 mpg and that was with a heavy load and going 75 plus mph. I love riding in comfort and having plenty of room in the car.

Hear us now and believe us later ! I own a 2001 Lincoln Town Car with roughly 195,000 original miles. I had bought for $500 cash in east Texas after my 1998 Saturn LS 2 had been hit head on at 90 mph by a pickup that had been driven over the highway center line and crashed into my stationary car sitting in a left turn lane. Upon impact that truck flipped over and over across the highway, flipping over a guardrail and crushing it. A newer Ford FX4 crewcab rear ended my car at 50 to 60 mph. My car was totaled and the unibody was crushed badly. The engine was almost driven through the dashboard, the hood was touching the heavily cracked windshield and the trunk was almost touching the shattered back window. I was almost dead when EMS got to me, close to slipping into a coma. I ended up at Jenny Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas where teo level 1 trauma teams operated on me for fifteen hours to keep me alive because I had tried to go into a coma three more times. My Lincoln has been broken into two times but the punks are likely still locked up in county jail unless they got transferred to state prison. The power window switches on the driver side don't work now because of the break ins but the passenger side windows do work. The factory starter just went out a couple of months ago and I replaced it with a refurbished model. The electronic light module that controls gauges on the instrument panel is about to shut down. The original heater core went out earlier this year so no heater or defroster and it caused the coolant to get flushed out while I was driving. A mechanic had done a heater core bypass to prevent that flushing. The Alpine CD changer in the trunk isn't working. It has a AM/FM/cassette player stereo but no CD/mp3/Bluetooth capability until I buy a modern high power head unit, amplifiers and speakers. My car will need new tires soon and I just had a high mileage oil change done. I'll need to put it in a shop for coolant system service for sure and just a check up on brakes because they were replaced recently. The air conditioner works so well it gets colder than the central air system in my apartment and I have to turn it down. I live in Texas so the air conditioning is preferred to the heater but defroster would be nice when it rains. My car will need new bulbs for the turn signals. It's hard to park it at some shopping centers or businesses with tight parking areas. It has lots of space inside to move around where you can drive and ride in comfort. I've had people wanting to buy my car but assured them the price would be $5000 and not $500.

I have a 1996 Town Car with 239,000 on it and runs great. Have had to replace AC parts and the plastic intake manifold. Have done the usual brakes, shocks, etc. Mileage is as you stated. And if some fool decides the hit me on the highway the accident is "out there", not in my face.

Wow. That makes me feel good. Same car. Mine has 192k miles. Still going. Looks good too!

Suzanne Johnson Wrong way to rebuild a Prius battery. ALL the cells that are not working like new need to be replaced.

sorry I probably worded it wrong. I believe he would replace all the cells that needed to be replaced.

I had a rebuilt hybrid battery installed for less than $1,000. My family has had 4 Priuses... Love them.

I paid $1300 for a prius hybrid pack with all new cells and voltage regulator I bought it a 2005 used with 178K with bad hybrid battery (actually only two cells) got it for a steal because the sell also thought you had to replace the whole pack which in a lot of cases you don't need to replaced those two and reconditioned and rebalanced the pack went to 240K and then decided to put the new cell pack in it, its now at 255k and hoping to get well over 300k maybe even 400k fingers crossed

@@pluggednickels what a great deal, I bet you will get to 400 K! I went to a mechanic for another prius I had in southern Indiana that he only fixed prius and he said they could get to 400 K without a problem as long as you change transmission fluid every 60K and engine oil every 5 K

I had one and hated it. Mine isn’t get good mileage for as small as it was

My Chrysler K car had 87k on it before it started sucking the oil and then it blew up...not too many k cars still scooting about eh ? 😘

Yea! Great EXCEPT its a #ing camry. ha ha ha

When Ford did the initial reliability testing on the 4.6 back in 1991 they tore apart engines with 500,000 miles and found little to no cylinder wear. Just stick with the original 4.6 SOHC design and stay away from the later 3-valve 4.6's and 4.6 VVT engines and it should last forever.

Brion Tushinski Driving the same brother! Great car!

llw scottm

I have a 1997 Grand Marquis LS that I inherited from my parents. Not quite trouble free but still very reliable. Had to rebuild the air suspension with a non air ride suspension when it went out. Also have had to change the intake manifold twice because Ford unbelievably put in a PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD! No excuse for this kind of cheapness. I also noticed Ford also used the same type of intake manifold on my 4.2 liter V6 F-150. Usually get 16 mpg in mixed driving and 20 on the road, but one day after Thanksgiving got the rating of 25 mpg returning from my friends house in Mesa Az to Quartzite Az. Since it was after Thanksgiving I didn't need to use the AC and there were no freeway bridges to climb over on the drive. it was 150 miles and used 6 gallons. checked out electronically as well and did get 25 mpg. but these are not the typical driving conditions.

I've been looking for one for myslef just to drive to and from work, I had a 98 Continental loved it except the transmission witch was a Ford Flaw puting a v8 with a fwd. I replaced the rear air suspension for $80 + $40 installation (I have an honest mechanic). The police impound it because i left it parked more than 72 hours in front of a business on my 3 day weekend and were charging me over $1,500 and I bought it for $500 so I left it there but I'm loking for a Towncar

I almost bought one of those back in the late '90s! Agreed that it's a bit under powered. Glad to hear you had good success with it. Send me some pics when you hit 500k! :-)

Kevin Simpson / I have a 95 Ranger 4.0 that I drove hard before I had to park it with over 600,000 miles on it.... standard stick

Interesting, i wouldnt expect those things to surpass 150,000 since they are so cheap

Josh, the reliability of the "cheap" Ranger is legend. Kinda explains why Ford quit building it. Ford also dropped the 4.9 litre or 300 inline six for the same reason. Half a million miles was no big thing for those engines. BUT, the fuel consumption wasn't anything to write home about and they say it would have been too costly to get it capable of meeting new emissions standards. All I know is I drove service vehicles with that engine and the body was a HEAP with the engine still running strong. (service vehicles get beat up) We typically replaced em about 300,000. But ONLY because of the appearance.

My 95 ranger is a POS, its running on the exhaust plugs i cant figure out whats wrong with the intake side

Agreed! You can make any car last a long time if you are willing to keep dumping money. These top 5 have proven to be fairly reliable, but certainly any car can have it's issues.

How many repairs have been made??? Will these cars pass emissions testing especially in California??? Probably not.

For sure, if you are willing to spend the money, you can keep just about any car on the road, as long as they don't rust apart.

@@EnnesX EXACTLY,These cars mentioned have minimal repairs,especially the LINCOLN TOWN CARS,there just great,COMFORTABLE, RELIABLE and DURABLE cars....

You could have added the 2000 kia Sephia....mine has 288,000 miles on it and it's still running strong. No smoke from the engine. No noises or vibrations. No oil consumption issues. However it does have some oil leaks and it have worn out motor mounts. It's never had any suspension work required. I had an alignment put on it about 6 years ago and it hasn't needed anything else done to it since. The one issue with this particular engine is that it's an interference engine and you have got to replace the timing belt when it gets worn to avoid engine damage from a broken timing belt. My car was 8 years old when I bought it for $2800.00. it already had 194,000.miles on it. But I still drive it daily. The interior is still in excellent condition with the exception of worn out brake and clutch pedal covers. It's still on the original clutch. A/c power windows, power locks rear window defogger, etc... Everything still works great on my car. It will easily pass 300,000 miles...

2003+ towncars can easily get 500,000km with regular maintenance

Could you tell me what year it was and if it was automatic or manual? Cuz I have a 2002 automatic civic and I wanted to get some idea of how long it'll last. :)

Are u planning to sell it?does engine sound smooth?

Jason Simone i kept waiting for it too. My 2003 was barely driven before i bought it, but i have put 25-30k/year on it for the last 4 years. 193k, and i expect to put new tires on it at 250k

I had a 96 and sold it with 260k on the clock 2 years ago. The guy is still driving it around.

We have a 2006 Corolla with 277,000 miles. Just put new tires on it. It's our daily commuter! Cold air still going strong!

So we've got a 1993 Toyota Corolla with 165K+ on it and it needs about $1500 in repairs, should we do it?

no sounds like miles been rolled back on it and it is very old.Alot electrical problems ahead.

What the HELL happened to American cars damn!

Update. 114000 plus miles. No issues. I just put on winter tires and was told that I had at leasr 1/3 % left on my Original brakes!

I’ve heard the Prius c isn’t great but maybe people just find it to be slow. What has been your experience with it, accelerating and all that?

Well a course it is NOT a muscle car. Acceleration is more than adequate for driving. I live in a small population center so speed is not required as much. I have NO problem accelerating when I need to. My prious c climbs mountains pretty well. I generally use my cruise control for maximum milage. Mountain driving does use more power and milage can drop depending how long the climb is. I do travel every couple of monthes on a 220 mile r/t and I get between 60 to 70 mpg. this is across a 5500 ft mtn pass. If you are constantly in freeway traffic , yah you may get run over! I used to commute in that fast driving conditions. It is hard enough to get on a freeway at 65 to 70 mpg in a regular car! A Prius is designed for great milage so the way you drive is IMPORTANT to gain maximum milage! Thanks for the question.

@@specificsoup I forgot to say I love my Prius C! It is sporty looking with a great music center. All modern equipment and looks! The price was around $18500! Because i have to drive 550 miles a week i average about 55 to 60 mpg per fill up.

Thanks! I am probably gonna be living in a city in less than a year, I’m just thinking about getting a “new” used car and Prius c looks nice but I guess I am a little worried about busy highways. I might go for the normal sized Prius though, idk..

@@highsnburgers4862 sold it to a Mexican farmer...why specifically point out the Mexican part?

@@sylvia106 I'm half-Mex so don't hurt yourself with virtue signaling or race-baiting. The buyer was of 100% Mexican heritage and a much better auto mechanic than me. They way "he got it done" by swapping in two engines in a couple days by himself was quite impressive. Mexicans often outwork gringos in tough jobs. Especially those with more native blood vs euro blood. Employers know this and so do Mexicans.

It really depends on your car, ive seen numerous mercedes, bmws and vws being towed away. With the german cars its seems to be planned obsolescence. I've seen a lot of modern mercedes engines go by 150 000miles. The 70s and 80s engines were far better and some are still running.

It also depends on how it gets there. Yes a Chrysler 200 will make it to 300k miles but you'll have changed just about everything in the car including the transmission and engine.

A big displacement diesel like that should be reliable. The 7.3 was really well built though. I wouldn't mind owning one if I ever had a need for it
