Although I make decent money I don't want to buy any new cars I want a used old car that will last so I can stack my money.
On my towns craigslist I found so far are:
2008 Crown Vic Interceptor (police car) with 160K miles in great condition for 2k I am test driving this car tomorrow
2003 Trailblazer with 150k miles for 2.5k, great condition all around.
Which one is better? and is there any cars like the ones above that will last me?
I'd rather not spend more than 4000 but if its worth it I will.

Crown Vic. Lots of parts found at junkyards. The power train is shared with the 1996-2004 mustang GT for even more parts availability. As well as some ford trucks and SUVs of that era.

Trailblazer hands down.
Far more utilitarian and has a very stout I6 Motor that makes good HP and torque.
Don’t be “that guy” driving an ex police car.
Seriously, on a real talk level, get the trailblazer provided it isn’t a piece of shit.

I would get the crownbarge despite being idled to death. The 4l60e in the blazer isnt too hot in reliability. They always tend to go between 180-200k miles. This goes with any 4l60e equipped Gm vehicle. Ford seem to get pas 200k with no problems tranny wise. My family has owned chebbies and fords for their entire life and there is always that pattern.

If you dont mind a rebuild the blazer looks better and has more potential being utilitary.

Are you retarded or just trolling?
Standard engine was a 4.2 i6 .......
Very few came with the optional 5.3 V8

Hard to believe you post here and didn’t know they came with i6 engines.
It’s not a base engine in most models, the EXT had a V8 option but otherwise it was standard for most trims and years.

I would get a 2000's mustang desu v8, manual, 88 rear end, cheap to fix and reliable if tyrone wasnt the previous owner driving it.
