For about the last two years my daily driver has been a '96 Nissan Pickup. 2.4, 5-speed, it was a one-owner that had regular maintenance. I'm now pushing 230,000 miles on her, she gets 22mpg running the a/c, and consumes a quart of oil every 2,500 miles.
In April I made an impulse buy - a one-owner 5-speed '88 Toyota Corolla station wagon with 106,000 miles and every single receipt ever handed to the lady. Spent a few months rebuilding the front end completely, she's now mechanically in top nick. Unfortunately the old lady ran into several things in the last few years; if I decide to keep her indefinitely I'll have the front bumper straightened out and paint her. My daily commute is about 60 miles round trip and the wagon is getting 35-36 mpg.
