Good car is not cheap, cheap car is not good that is base rule.
Many luxary car will be much last longer than cheap Japanese car (general seapking). I have 2005 Volvo S80 still runing as new (fast, stable, only change tire once, breaks, and battery). I also bought Volvo XC90 2017. Ave gas mileage 27.3. cost $60k. Good gas miledage bu not cheap. See youtube for deal for all kind cars and feedback.
