Racking up the mileage

Whenever you are buying a used car, one of the most important questions you have no doubt asked yourself is whether or not this car will last you. Getting used cars is definitely the most affordable option, but it's not enough that these vehicles be inexpensive. You also need to make sure that the vehicles you are selecting are used cars that will last.

Would you believe there is a 1966 Volvo P1800 that has over 3,000,000 miles on it? It takes a whole lot of dedication and diligence to keep a car going that long, and if you want to get the most out of your vehicle, it will take you a lot of maintenance and repairs as well.

The standouts

There are some cheap used cars for sale that have a better reputation for staying on the road as long as possible. These specific models are almost always good bets for reliable used cars:

  • Honda Accord
  • Toyota Camry
  • Volvo S60
  • Honda CR-V
  • Toyota RAV4
  • Subaru Forester
  • Ford F-150
  • Toyota Tundra


It's no surprise that the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are on the list. These vehicles have been superb options for dependability since their introduction. There are many of these vehicles still on the road today, and finding a used one in your local area will not be hard at all. Their cheap SUVs, the CR-V and RAV4, are also very reliable choices.

Pickup trucks are also very famous for their longevity. Their sturdy designs allow them to routinely reach well over the kind of mileage you see in regular cars. If you want the maximum amount of miles and you don't want to spend a ton of time doing repairs, try to stay away from 4wd trucks. These drive trains are more complicated and easier to encounter problems with in the long run.
