Avoid the 'cool' SUVs. A Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla from 2012-2016 is the sweet spot

Something you didn’t expect to be BIFL but outlasted your expectations?
Not exactly BIFL but a fantastic purchase. I bought a Toyota Corolla when I was low on cash. For $1200 with 400 000 km on the dial. I said I'd be happy if it lasted me 18 months. I sold it 6 years later (last year) for $1100 with $450 000. In that time aside from fuel and registration I estimate that I spent less than $400 per year in maintenance.

[Bifl request] A car, suv, or truck
Can you give a price range or certain features that are must haves? In general, you can't beat Toyota or Honda, or their luxury brands: Lexus and Acura. Subaru is also solid (they're partners with Toyota). If you're considering an suv, and have a lot of money to spend, I would get a Toyota Land Cruiser . There's a reason why you'll find 15 year old land cruisers for over $10k. Econo car, I'd pick a corolla over a civic because the Corolla has a timing chain instead of a belt. Midsize sedan, Honda Accord. Full size, Toyota Avalon or Lexus LS460. Out of all the cars, if money is no object, I'd get the LS460. Truck, nothing beats a Toyota. Small suv, Honda CR-V. Mid-size suv, highlander, pilot, or 4Runner.
