People tend to get bored with or find certain vehicles to be impractical, so 2-door sports cars, SUVs, oddball designs and pickups are easy to find. Lots of common sedans like Ford Tauruses are available used. Taurus is one of the safest cars on the road and lots of them are available from many years of production. While they are a little boring, finding one that is in good condition with low miles is worth the effort. It should give years of good performance.
American cars tend to be among the best used-car values because they provide more car for the money.
While prevailing opinion is that American cars are not as good those from Japanese automakers, it's just not true. Structurally and mechanically American cars appear to be some of the most durable cars in the world. In addition, they are often less expensive to repair with lower-priced parts and repair facilities more common than those for foreign makes. When studying the history of crashworthiness, a pattern emerges. Japanese cars, many of them small, have poorer overall histories when compared to the larger American cars.
