My Inlaw's gave my then 12 yo a car, I couldn't leave it parked untils she could drive so 115,000 miles later I'm still driving it, She drove it thru HS 14.5 yo till last year, then I made her take Malibu to college as it's more reliable with 242,000 miles and Stratus gets better MPG and I drive more. AC died, water pump went out, some brake work, oil sending until, still been a great buy.
I think the Stratus will rust away before the engine dies. And I have another 14 yo with a premit, perfect school car. Just need to find a good replacement for myself. (14.5 yo's can get school permits)
