I am looking to buy a used car or truck and just wondering what car or truck do mechanics recommend or own. I currently own a ‘97 Dodge Avenger and have been having a lot of problems with the timing belt (on my second one…spent just about a thousand) and control arms (replaced both twice). So what is a good and reliable used car or truck that may have little maintenance? foreign or domestic the floor is open.

Honda Accord/Civic
Toyota Camry/Corolla
These are the most reliable cars with high mileage.
I worked with four TOP NOTCH mechanics. They specialized in imports. But at night they went home in their Denali or Tahoes. WHY? Simple, they last, they can get parts for them, they are basic to work on and if you break down out in the boon docks, clide the mechanic can work on them. If you don’t believe me go to the import shops (where your top techs work) and ask them what truck they drive or just look in the back parking lot, I did it at the Mercedes dealer and yep there they were GM Suv’s. Good luck. Personal I have a 99 Denali, no major problems just basic work. 137,000 miles and still going strong. GOOD LUCK
GM, Honda, Toyota (not necessarily in that order)
Askint this kind of question is like asking how many people in New York like peanut butter!
