3 words for you. Toyota, Honda, Nissan...

If you are set on a car and not a truck, you can get a very reliable Camry or Corolla that will run forever if you take care of it and it has no major problems to begin with.

Or you can get a Civic or an Accord that will also run forever.

Want something fast and reliable? Look at 2002 and older Nissan Maximas...you will be surprised at the performance.


But I suggest a truck. It provides transportation and can be used as a work vehicle. In which case I recommend a Toyota Tacoma or a Nissan Frontier. Great reliability. The Toyota will be more expensive because it is rock solid.
