I dunno. When my son needed a car to get to work we found a 1996 Buick Park Avenue in almost perfect condition at 100,000 miles. He didn't like the look of modern cars, didn't want a touchscreen, besides a 2010 Japanese car can cost almost new prices and they wanted $9k for a Chevy Sonic with 180,000 miles (didn't know they went that far!)

Granted the traction control and anti-lock brakes occasionally fail to boot up, but it seems to be a pretty good car, but it was close to the top of the line. Gets 27 mpg which is not bad for a big ass car. I like how it has a lot of the feel of a 1970s boat but it has airbags, OBD II and most of the good features of a modern car... And we didn't need to get a loan to afford it. Driving home though I was looking in the mirror and seeing it dwarfed by today's XXL trucks and SUVs.
