OT dependable used car ?

Stephanie on Activities - Sat, August 23 2008

I know this is WAY off topic but I thought I would give it a try . My son's 20 year old girlfriend really needs a used car to get to work and to college downtown. She is a wonderful girl who works really hard. It's tough to get a used car that we won't worry about her getting stranded in and she needs one asap. Thank you for any help -

I'm a contractor at Lilly's and they have their own internal classified ads site. What kind of car is she looking for? PM me with a ballpark of her budget. There are always tons of cars on there. I can forward any ads I find that match her criteria.

Well... not to bash American products, but I've had the best luck with used Hondas or Toyotas (Accord/Civic, Camry/Corolla) as being reliable.

Currently I've got a '97 Camry with lots of miles and it's been plugging along fine with only wear and tear issues (tires & battery). *knocks on wood*

i agree with CatHerder - hondas are FANTASTIC. Used volvos are safe and last forever too - We had an 87 station wagon that was MY first car that we JUST got rid of.

I'd check out Edmunds.com - they have lots and lots of information.

I bought a used Acura in the mid-90's and sold it a few months ago for $900. It was still running really well...I have no idea how many miles it actually had on it, as the odometer stopped working several years ago. It had 269,000 miles on it when it quit. They are excellent cars. I bought my MINI Cooper used and have been very happy with it the past 3 years.
