Just found out that my current car will die any day now due to a known defect. It’s out of warranty and I have no money to replace it right now.

I’ve been cursed with car problems my whole life, no matter how well I take care of them, I keep getting screwed.

All of the cars have been Fords because I always heard they were generally dependable and cheap to repair/upkeep, but so far they have all failed me.

What cars do y’all recommend? What cars do you have that just won’t give up the ghost no matter how old/beat up they get? If your life depended on your car lasting as long as possible, what car would you drive?

I want whatever car I get next to last me 10-20 years. I want to be that person posting a picture of the odometer hitting 300k miles. I also don’t care much about features, reliability is key.

    Would you like to retract this statement by any chance? I mean a family member of mine’s kia caught on fire, so I’m wondering if you’re still firm on your decision or not.

      If you can name a single manufacturer that hasn’t had a recall for an issue that lead to death/injury/property damage maybe I’d consider it, but I know there isn’t one so I stand by my statement.

        All the cars my family has owned have never caught on fire until now.

          Unless you’ve owned millions of cars, that has no statistical relevance.
