My 91 year old father and 87 year old mother both drive Eldorados, 2001 and 1999. They get 30 MPG on trips and neither one has been in an accident in decades, except when they were hit in the rear end by a tool truck whose brakes failed.

Thank God they were in a Lincoln Continental when the tool truck knocked them 120 feet through an intersection.

Bought one for $12k with 23k miles, the other was $6k with 60k miles. His 01 gets 4k miles a year while her 99 gets about 10k.
