Brand new cars minus tech? The cheapest option available. 10-20 years? Probably none if you don’t change the oil. I’d probably take a look at Kia. Otherwise find a 98 crown Victoria in New Mexico.

He actually had a towncar until he crashed it. RWD cars suck in winter. He ended up setting for a forester, thanks!

Please tell him to change the oil and wash the car. That Avalon would still be on the first engine and may not be completely rotted out and still going if he does so. I live in Wisconsin so I know cars aren’t truly BIFL with the salt factor.

Oh yeah they really aren’t. But if you take care of them they last enough. Here it is common to have a summer car and a bester for winter. In the family we said that my grandmother had two summer dads and my grandfather two beaters. His other car was a Ford ranger. I think those ford rangers outside the rust belt are actually BIFL. It had 320k miles with minor maintenance and a water pump and alternator
