Cars in New England don't wear out, they rust out. At 150,000 miles the body
was done. Dad's was especially bad after 5 years of landfill duty. The ash from
the landfill is corrosive.The engine still ran great...

150K is no where near bragworthy. Most 60s 283 shoveys would get 230k
or more. My friend who has worked 40 trs for Boeing had got 300k out of
every for he had, beginning wiht a 65 or 66 galaxie 289.
The dogde vans have a relatively poor 3.3 that will get 300k pretty
consistently.

My folks had 3 Liberties with the 3.7, it's okay. I think it's disappointing
compared to the old 4.0 but seems adequate and uses less fuel. I forget exact
mileage but each of theirs got replaced for other issues, not engine breakdown.
Dad's did over 150,000 miles for sure. The first one was shor

Cars have become appliances that you toss out once the ash tray is full. My
personal vote would be for something old and simple that most any idiot at a
repair place can fix without computers. That speaks to being reliable, though
it might take some attention to keep it on the road. The new s

It sort of sounds like your son should go and lease or buy a new minimal
vehicle (Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla maybe) and take it in to the
dealer for routine service. A new vehicle should give him relatively
trouble free service for the length of the lease or payment plan and
then he should t
Depends on what engine we're talking about. The straight sixes like the 232,
258 and the 4.0l HO (which I think was the 232) were very robust and lasted
forever. The v8s in the more recent stuff are just Chrysler engines. I've had
excellent luck with them, my Dakota had the magnum 318 which was
