96 windstar= 1 of my parents favorite auto's... 0 probs upto 70k

97 tuarus= didnt like it but only needed a minor tune up at 85k

98 grand marquis= presently 86k, most smooth running reliable cars ive ever owned

thats it ford wise

chevy's:

91 grand am= 1st car, beat to shit, lasted 130k with mucho denero "invested"

97 cavalier= 150k, needed new alt, batt, and starter, plugs...not bad for the cheapest chevy

91 caprice=145k, nothin major done since 100k when i aquired it

94 sonoma= 75k, wiper module and tune up

02 malibu= 60k, blower motor resistor

97 lumina= 111k, little stuff iirc

there is a reason why my family remains with domestic vehicles

my best friend had numerous hondas...accord was in the shop 1-2 a month for a year w/ 125k. Had his civic for 3 months and the headgasket blew

it all comes down to knowing what to look for when buying a used car..poeple are fu ckin ignorent..used cars is all

our 03 windstar has had tons of problems like windows wont work then they will and you get them fixed and they go out weeks later, the temperature thing going out so it blows out all cold, the display saying that the "liftgate" is ajar even know it is closed, etc. My mom had a 2 gen taurus and had tons of problems with it.

My physics teacher drives a white souped-up 91' SHO... it's pretty quick and I really like the car.

I have a taurus, not a SHO, but I havn't had too many problems with it.

It depends on how it has been kept up and driven. But as a general rule of thumb, unless you have money to back up potential problems, they are ungodly unreliable, mostly because people ***** them- and because of poor engineering on one part or another.
