Started with a 01 sunfire. 110 thousand miles on the clock. Soon needed a clutch. Tranny went in 3 months. Replacement granny crapped out soon after. Went to an 04 ranger 4.0. Timing chain snapped. Can't find a 4.0 in any of the wreckers.
Picked up an old beat up Taurus for cheap. Ran very nice. Rust got the best of it, I don't know how it passed safety.
Picked up a low mileage 93 civic. New clutch and a replacement tranny. Im seeing a pattern. 99 tracker, the battery blew out while boosting a car at work. Belt tensioner broke. New rad. Power steering rack just went. Finally he realised that something newer and better might be worth spending more on.
My dad's old company ran Corollas as service vehicles. 300,000 miles, full of tools and barely any maintenance, and not one had any issues
