I'm optimistic because my mom owned a 1993 Jeep Cherokee until 2011 when she bought her 2010 Toyota Highlander. My dad still owns a 1993 Saturn wagon that still works great today. only things that went out that had to be replaced were the transmission and something else that was not more than $1500
If you had the chance for your first car to not be a bad running, boring car, wouldn't you want to try and keep your first car for as long as possible? That's my philosophy.
