Generally speaking I'd avoid older Honda's like 5th gen Civics and CRX's because there's such a demand, you'll end up paying a premium.
Rezzas: Older Maximas are good cars but I always hear the damn engines knocking like a bastard these days. :dunno:
I still vote old Yotas :woowoo:

As a whole, Toyota is probably the most reliable, then Honda, then Nissan IMO for the top Japanese brands.

name me a 17 year old car that you wouldn't have to do routine maintenance to keep it safe and drivable?
I care who spent it. I wouldn't have spent that much. I could have gotten the parts for about $300 and done the work myself.
