Get in here with cars that are surprisingly reliable. I don't want to see Honda Accorda and Corollas, people already know those last and they charge a premium. Show me stuff that's cheap and stout and underappreciated.
Mine:
>W202 and W210 Benz
>Can do high, high miles
>Ubiquitious as taxis in Eastern Europe and Middle East
>Parts cheaper than you think
>Half the price of a similar condition BMW 3 or 5 series (fuccboi tax I guess)
1994-97 Audi A4 B5
>basically a passat with a backwards baseball cap
>vw parts are literally everywhere, and cheap (hard luck US)
>has actual build quality, unlike later versions
>will run basically forever so long as you keep it fed on oil
E46 318i/318ci (1998-2001 pre facelift)
my gf has owned a 318ci for several years and it is hilariously low maintenance
literally a german corolla
Late 90s Buick Century. My dad's survived Michigan winters without rusting. 300k miles with no major work on the engine at the time my sister's shenanigans destroyed it in 2014. Interior was falling apart though.
2003 vw golf diesel
Cheap parts, huge aftermarket.
>1996-2000 Passat B5 TDI
>family car for the past 16 years
>currently 280k km
>comfy, decent quality interior with nice AC and Alcantara/leather seats
>spent less than 2000€ on non-routine maintenance (including worn control arms) over those 16 years
>the TDI is literally indestructible and gets great mileage
>so little electronics, even if something fucks up you won't notice
>3rd party aftermarket parts are cheap as shit (bought a full set of control arms for the front left and right suspension and rear brake disks with pads for 150€)
Are you kidding? I've never in my life seen one of these with rockers left. 3100's are also shit. These cars are complete garbage.
On the flipside my Honda Civic has been a complete fucking dog.
1 owner from new, dealer maintained, low miles.
motherfucking ur s4 and ur s6. they're comparable in reliability to a lexus ls400 on top of being really comfy, excellent awd, and having staggering tuning potential out of the inline 5 turbo engine
Opels, or heck anything with ISUZU diesel
