    The all black, 1991 Mustang GT I had from new, a 5.0L V8, 5sp. manual, got 25.4 mpg on the highway going 70 mph with the A/C on in 90°F weather. I had frost forming on the inside of the windshield. 😂
    IIRC, it had 2.73 gears in the limited slip differential.

      I believe it. I've had two 4.6 Mustangs 5 speed manuals that could easily get 28 mpg at 75 mph in most conditions and I always run the a/c or heat. My current 5.0 DOHC can only get about 26 but that's cause the 3.73s kill fuel economy above 70, which I rarely do below 75 I have seen 28 at 70 though.

    Had an X5 after owning a 740iL and a 528. Can verify that the X5 is a terribly expensive vehicle as it ages. Mine had the big V8, which had a big $750 gasket that had to get replaced at 100k miles... waited as long as I could but it was losing a quart of oil every couple weeks (!!). The 740iL wasn't much better, the serpentine belt blew under the hood and tore apart everything, plus it had a water-cooled alternator, because why not mix water and electricity. Find a manual 3-series without AC and there's your ultimate driving machine.

      Nissan Altimas are good cars if you take care of them. My parents have one with over 200k miles and only had to do basic maintenance - oil changes, tires, and brakes. Lexus RX is the biggest money pit. I owned one for only 6 months and I spent more money fixing it than all my other vehicles I ever owned combined. It spent more time in the shop than me driving it, I only put 2k miles on it over 6 months. And it still had nothing but problems, I practically had to give it away just to get rid of it.

    Years ago, was shopping around for a car at Carsense. I had a friend there who was straight with me. I was looking at a BMW SUV that was 6k below KBB value and was seriously considering it. My friend talked me out of it. He said, hey, it's a great deal no doubt, but....Honda/Toyota/Hyundai/Kia cars we rate as Class A reliability. BMW is class F. If (when) you need repairs on the BMW, you will pay very high prices for replacement parts.

    I owned a 2003 Ford Explorer 4 wheel drive for nearly 13 years. It was the best and most realiable vehicle I ever owned. Never had a single engine problem, only replaced a window regulator and lock acuator. Replaced the shocks around 130k miles. When I sold it a few years ago, it was still running great, but did have some rust underneath and peeling paint at top. Most reliable vehicle out of last 6 vehicles I owned and made me a loyal Ford customer. The new Ford Explorers feel like a soccer mom SUV and didn't care much for them, so I got a F150 truck which I love!

      I actually bought a new Nissan Kicks that has a JATCO transmissions. My dad and I have been saying for years to avoid Nissan due to that, but I really had no choice. I have a coworker that had an early 2010s Altima where the transmission went out after and I advised him to get the transmission serviced when he started having slippage issues and I didn't. My coworker ended up totaling the Altima because it needed too much work and the transmission put him over budget to fix that car. I should have taken my own warnings about Nissan but... It was either that or buy a Kia/Hyundai that is easily stolen (more expensive too), or spend well over my budget, or get a Nissan Sentra or Kicks. I was able to get a good price on the Kicks. The F&I guy got me a free all inclusive oil change/maintenance plan (3 scheduled services at the recommended mileage over 3 years). I feel slightly better with the dealer looking after my car that it has the potential to last me up to 10 years/100k miles.

Car runs smooth and gets good gas mileage for having almost 200,000 miles. He bought it for $1,800 and only replaced a rear taillight bulb for $5.

    My grandpa has always been obsessed with BMWs and Mercedes even though they are money pits and a pain in the butt to work on. He's also the type of person that wants to spend a week tearing apart a car and trying to fix it himself before he gives up. I had a older model Mercedes that had some type of sensor issue that we tried fixing to no avail, sent it to our local shop that worked on Mercedes exclusively. They said they couldn't figure it out and had to wait on an electronics guy to come in and look at the car. That car sat in the corner of their shop for OVER A YEAR. I was a teenager at the time and I hadn't seen the car in so long I was convinced my grandpa had sold it. It ended up creating more issues from sitting so long. Worst part is the shop said the electronics dude claimed he probably had done the job correctly, my grandpa just cheaped out and bought some chinese part that didn't work. Had we done the same thing with an actual Mercedes part it wouldn't of sat there that long. He's gotten newer BMWs... either the a3 or a5 can't remember, two separate cars of the same make and model just different years. The first one is completely bricked because the steering column is permanently locked and now he's had the newer ones in the shop 4 times in the last two weeks. All that said, can't give him too much grief as I drive my VW lol.

    Scotty, what would you recommend for a good vehicle on budget of $5,000? I'm stationed in Japan in the Navy and I am coming back to the states later this year to Virginia. I am thinking of a small truck or a toyota corrola.
    P.s. Japan has way better used car deals. I bought a 2003 Honda Mobilio for $500 with 65k miles on it, but had to sell it because it was not 25 years old to be able to ship overseas. I sold it to a Marine for $650. I will miss Japan and the nice little vehicles.

    Unless you have money to throw at it, I think the way to go is lease or buy new/used before warranty runs out or ~70K for a BMW. And I would get a sedan/coupe not a crossover so you get the full handling capability of a BMW

    just from personal experience, Id say that the BMW is the WORST out of all those cars... this is due to the fact that even if you are knowledgeable about how to maintain your car, its a rare occurrence that you can actually buy the parts you need (unless youre in germany ) or have the equipment needed to make any of your own repairs!!!!!!!!! at that point youre just at the mercy of whatever mechanic you can find. Rarely do they ever do a proper diagnosis, let alone charge you a fair price and actuallly fix it!!!!!!!!!
    that being said... the car was very fun to drive and felt very safe to drive. Owning that car taught me how to maintain other vehicles properly.

    I've looked at many Ford's and was put off by the electronic 10 speed transmissions on anything past 06. My 99 Taurus was great, but electronic sensor and a solenoid failure in the tranny caused it to be unsmogable after 225,000m. My 2000 4x4 Ford Expy has 275,000 and is running strong . Anywhere from 10-17 mpg. I'm selling my PT and going to find another economy car, either a Toyota or Honda!❤

I bought a tranny from a junkyard that ran for about 2k miles and then something snapped inside of it while cruising at 55mph, and she hasn't moved since. 😞
