What is the cheapest, most reliable used car to run into the ground?

I am looking to buy a cheap, reliable used car that I can basically drive for 10 years with as few problems as possible, safety or maintenance-wise.



I don't care about resale value since I intend to run the car into the ground. In fact, a high resale value might make the car too expensive to purchase as a used car.



What would you reccomend?What is the cheapest, most reliable used car to run into the ground?
Pretty much anything japanese, like others are saying the Honda Civic is pretty good - I knew someone who had one and they got it 10 years old and carried on using it for another 10 years. In the end they drove it to a scrap yard, it drove fine but it was begining to rust in places.

What is the cheapest, most reliable used car to run into the ground?
for $4,000



look for



98 Acura CL, 98 Ford Mustang V6, 98 Honda Accord or Civic, 98 Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder, 98 Subaru Impreza or Legacy, 98 -00 Toyota Corolla or Echo 00



these are all reliable and will last longer than other cars in this price range.



for around $6k an Acura Integra 98-99 is a great car.
well, there's no guarantee for 10 years,but why not buy a high mileage ex lease car,it would have had its regular services,and would be replaced for newer models.
