10 Cars that refuse to Die
 
Just for fun...

10 cars allegedly having "exceptional -- sometimes surprising -- endurance
and value." Fuel efficiency is not a consideration. Trucks and full size SUVs
not included.

Before you visit the site, make a list -- caution, one is purely European --
and see how many you agree with.

10 Cars that Refuse to Die

Great list, I would add the Dodge Dart with the slant 6. You could not kill that car, I knew a few people who tried and failed.

Dont agree with the Legacy..
and the Merc w124 is missing..

Decent list, they were smart to show the LTD first; them and Town Cars are probably as close to automotive immortality as it gets.

Of course Tempos are pretty good too, until the rust monster gets 'em.

Legacy head-gaskets say no.

Accord automatics say no, too.

Otherwise, both good cars.

91-94 Sentras are awesome cars, except for the rust thing and the fact that they have the suspension travel of a skateboard. I still miss my 1.6 liter one, one of the best cars I've ever had.

I hear you on the 3rd gen Maxima's! Grandfather had one, sold it at 350k and 12 years of ownership just because. It still ran fine.

They seem to forget about the EJ25D subaru's... those were horrible.
