I am looking to buy a 2000 or 2001 used car, but I want something that's going to last for a while and not cost me a lot in maintainence costs. Also, I need to make sure that the cost for future repairs are not going to kick my butt in the long run. I just need something reliable that won't leave me standing, helpless on the side of the freeway waiting for a tow truck to help me.
