“Puts a bit of money into them then sells them. He always turns a profit because these are older, simpler models that run well.”

Absolutely, this is what I do.

But try to find a ‘57 to ‘59 Plymouth where the front fenders aren’t rusted out, especially over the headlights.

The FJ Cruiser was last sold in the US in 2014. 9 years ago.

These best and worst ratings are for current model cars.

“no heater but in Texas I got by.”

Lol, I have talked with old time Truck drivers who told me that the heaters in a lot of the 60s and 70s trucks did not work real well. So they would grab “smudge pots” out of fields and light them up in the cabs to keep warm.

“Looked like a Jig at the next truck stop” was a common saying. lol

Oil changes make all the difference. I read a story about a fellow in Louisiana that had 1,000,000 miles on a Tundra. He took it into a dealership for an oil change. The dealer contacted Toyota corporate to tell them about the million mile truck. Toyota corporate offered a brand new Tundra in exchange for his old truck. He took the deal. Toyota took that old truck apart piece by piece to figure out how that truck was still running after 1 million miles. I would think that Toyota’s engineers have incorporated what works in their newer trucks.

"...a 2005 Ford Ranger..."

.

Rangers were good trucks.
I drove an 1986 Ranger for over 296,000 miles.
I had very little trouble with it.
The only annoyance was that the thing ate headlights.
I would only get about 12 to 18 months on a headlight - and it would burn out.

Someone here on FR (a professional auto mechanic) told me that the cause
was probably a bad voltage regulator.
So NOW I find that out - decades too late!

Depends on where you live.

Absolutely, I argue with the kids online about oil changes all the time. “Just buy extended life oil”. No... That still does not remove the “grinding/polishing compound” aggregates the oil filter cannot remove. Only changing the oil every 5k can actually keep the engine clean. And... There are corrosives that accrue in the oil from the nature of an internal combustion engine that can only be removed with 5k oil changes.

We have been brainwashed into destroying our own vehicles with “manufacturers recommendations”. The manufacturers are WRONG on purpose. They sell vehicles and want to sell you a new one ever two years if they can fool you into buying one.

I hate auto engineers...

I am in construction and I came across an Odyssey from a single owner who was steadfast on its care, I will easily get 150k more miles from this beautiful 5 door van with the 3.7 litre engine....Pulled the middle seats and folded the the rear seats down. Bill of Sale states I paid 500 dollars two years ago. The list is useless/certain engines and transmissions paired together is what makes a vehicle worth anything. Payments and option one insurance is for idiots that cant change their own oil. People are morons for the most part when it comes to vehicles...

I’ve been offered 26k for my 2008 F250 with 115000 miles on it. Paid 32k in 2008. That’s a pretty decent offer but I won’t buy an $80k plus new truck with more computers and tracking BS than CIA server farm.

“It’s desert-y here so lots of original and restored classic around. A slightly customized/lowered 57 Ranchero is one of my favorites.”

Same here. No bad rust. The vehicles I fixed up and drove for awhile before selling them I wish I had kept were a 72 Grand Torino and a 72 Ranchero. They were the last of the ford muscle cars that were mass produced.

I once raced a corvette 150 miles across the desert in the summer to Vegas with the Torino. 120 outside and at an average of 120 Mph non stop. I beat him to the meeting gas station and was able to pop the radiator cap with almost no pressure. He got towed out because his engine was cooked.

Needless to say, Cuz and I made the concert he did not. :)

It’s interesting that you say that: I have had no problem with headlights, but I’ve had trouble with a tail light (yet the brake light works); I’ve switched out the bulb, but it is still a hit or miss proposition (I assume there is a problem with the wiring, and will have someone look at it).

High end cars are typically the worst for resale value. Maybe because they are overpriced to begin with.

I would like to give a shout out to Toyota engineers though. Toyota is one of the few left who actually build a solid dependable vehicle that is not designed to break on purpose. Datsun/Nissan used to do this too.

I’ve read of 3 million mile cars.

1. 1st Gen Lexus LS400
2. 2000 something F250 Super Duty with 7.3 Turbo
3. 2010 something Nissan Frontier. 4 cylinder.

The trucks were hot shot vehicles. Meticulously maintained.
