03 Silverado Z71. Put 150k on it with just maintenance, bulbs, and an intermediate steering shaft replacement early on.

Interesting enough, both daylight running lights worked with the original bulbs the whole 7 years I had the truck. Saw it a few times hauling scrap then at a low rent used car lot.

93 Saturn sedan.

Bought it used for $300 in 2005. Odometer had 80,000 miles and was broken, so no telling how many miles were really on it. The body was all fricked up, interior fricked up.

My future wife drove it as a daily driver for 8 more years. Never even changed the oil. You just had to top it off every couple of weeks.

Zero engine problems ever. Until it finally just died.

THose old Saturns before GM bought them, the engineering under the hood was wonderful.


*FUnny footnote... if yall remember me posting a story about a girl who got sentenced to 16 years in SC for running over a guy who was already dead... that's who I bought the car from...

Best: 2003 Tacoma - Would still have if not totaled.

Worst: 2008 Silverado - Total lemon POS

I have one now. Got it from my sister at 101k miles. Has over 152k on it now and it's been flawless, except for that GM security system giving me fits for a while before I finally got to the bottom of the problem.

What's wild is it was in the shop constantly for stuff before I got it. It ate 4 alternators in the first 100k miles, and had every thing on the front of the motor go out (ac compressor, power steering pump and hoses), had the spider cluster under the intake go bad, and problems with the rear a/c. Door handles and all kinds of other little stuff.

Camry - Great cars in my experience.

Worst was a top of the line Mercedes. Nothing but problems and the dealership and bank would do nothing. Left it by the side of the interstate (broken down yet again) - called the bank and dealer and told them if they wanted it, come get it.

Toyota Tacoma. It was 7 years old when I bought it, and the only money I ever spent on it was basic maintenance, tires, etc. I lost it in Katrina.

I had a 2001 Highlander with over 400k that I sold for a grand a couple of years ago. It was an indestructible 4 cylinder. I sold it to a mechanic and I’m sure it’s still on the road.
