Two Lists of Longest Lasting Vehicles

One of the best ways to improve your budget and personal finances is to have a car that will last a long time. There is no doubt that passing up the new sports car and electing to buy a used car that lasts will save you money.


To help you figure out what type, make, and model to look for I have made two lists of the top ten longest lasting vehicles and a list of the top ten longest lasting cars and minivans.

Top 10 Longest-Lasting Vehicles

This list is formed from the data gathered and analyzed by iseecars.com.

The cars are rated by the likeliness of a car going over 200,000 miles before they are retired. This is done by listing the percentage of the cars within a particular model's population that make it past 200 thousand miles.

The two lists are below
