Really, any car will last over 100 grand as long as you don't think you're in NASCAR driving down the interstate or in the NHRA out of your driveway. I had a 1965 Ford Falcon S/W I bought for $300 while in the military and it had 132000 miles. It was a desert area car (Mojave Desert) and the engine was caked with sand. I didn't clean the engine, just gave it preventative maintenance: plugs, wires radiator fluids, transmission oil change, engine oil changes and the lube jobs. The old car turned out great, taking me from California to Texas and back, twice. I put another 98000 miles on her. I got shipped overseas and I sold it. Broke her heart I guess because the fellow Marine who bought it said the timing chain busted a week later. I also bought my wife an '87 Chevy S-10 straight off the lot with 2 miles on the odometer. When the little Blazer met its doom by the hand of her son six years later, it had 128000 miles. I did the same treatment as I did with my Falcon except I did wash the engine. Again, so's long as you don't race the car nor drive like a granny among the rush hour traffic, with a little time the cars will last.

Are American cars more reiable than foreign cars?
foreign cars last longer like Toyota, Honda acura those cars last forever my dad is a car dealer and i have seen alot of cars come and go but you don't see many chevorlet's with 250-300,000 miles on them Actually, the reason why you "Do not see many Chevorlets or other American cars with 300.000 miles on them" is very simple - Many American cars are not able to show 300,000 miles! When my Camaro had traveled 250.000 trouble free miles, the odometer showed only 50,000 miles! I have found that V-8 American cars last much, much, longer and require much less maintainence than any foreign car, and many people, might be surprised by what good mileage they achieve. I got 30 MPG on the highway in my old V-8 Camaro. Take a look around you. How come one is unable to observe many 5 year-old foreign cars? Ask yourself "If they last so long how come there are so few OLD FOREIGN CARS still being driven around?" Most of the foreign cars you'll see on the road are less than 5 years old!
