If you don't care what you drive, look for a used full sized GM with the 3.8 from about 1988 on. I'm talking about a 'Granny Special', a Buick LeSabre or Oldsmobile Delta 88. They don't hold their resale value very well after a couple of years; they are mostly driven relatively easy by older folks; and they get very good mileage for cars of that size. I inherited a Buick LeSabre with 9000 miles on it about 10 years ago. I still drive it with over 150,000 miles and have never done any major work to it. I have replaced the water pump, radiator, and alternator. It rides and drives very good and has a lot of power. I have never had to add a quart of oil between changes. It gets 29 mpg on the highway and about 20 around town. I do have the transmission fluid changed at about 30 to 40 thousand miles or so.
