Chevrolet Lumina.

We had one that I purchased from my old employer back in 2000. It was a 1996 with 126,000 Mike's on it. My boss old company car. We paid $ 2,200 to buy it from the corporate lease company. My wife and son drove that car from 2000-2012 when it got flooded out from Hurricane Issac. It had almost 500,00 miles on it when it was under water. Best Damn Car I ever bought.


Once Detroit realized they were getting their teeth kicked in by the imports, they made some stunningly reliable cars in the 90's and 2000's.

Style was generally "Meh" but they were typically very reliable.

We inherited a 2000 or 2001 Chevy Cavalier from my wife's grandmother after she died. It had like 89k miles on it. I drove it nearly everyday to and feom work and put another 125k on it. Ended up selling it to a guy at work who gave it to his son when he turned 16. It was still running as far as I know when my old coworker passed away like 3 years ago.
