Rep Power: 314 Mirage, less than 1/2 the milleage of the other cars.... also depends on the transmission it comes with.

Rep Power: 314 Mmm.... geez.... I would still say Mirage...... the milleage is so low.... not knowing what the car has been through is another toughy..... I honestly wouldnt know if the other 2 cars would make it to 200K on an auto.

Rep Power: 287 Yeah the Yota looks the best to me. My girl's mom had an 87 that went strong for 350K and then something dumb like a rad went so she traded it in.

Rep Power: 323 I would go for that Mitsu, with the Camry a close second.
Anyway, as long as it still runs well its still good. When it starts to clunk out is when you'll see if it was worth it or not...
