One hesitates to make decisions in 2008 or 2009 based on data that’s 30+ years old, so I won’t mention cars that were manufactured before 1980.
I purchased a 1990 Plymouth Acclaim. It ran OK, but the paint started peeling off right about the time that the warranty ran out. When I parked it in front of the dealership to buy a replacement part, the salesmen asked me to move it into the back so it wasn’t visible from the street. The part? A water pump. I went through three water pumps in 9 years.
I junked the Acclaim, and bought a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant. It still looks fine, and runs well at 105K miles.
