Dodge

Hi, i really wanna buy a reliable and inexpensive car for commute for 3 months, of 35 miles(one way) daily on highway. i have narrowed to these three option in my budget and locality. i am planning to keep car for only six months (till my graduation), with low maintenance. help me deciding one.1992 honda accord, 135k mileage, $19001997 dodge avenger es sports, 144k mileage, $15001997 mitsubishi mirage ls sedan, 104k mileage, $2500

Even though the honda is older, i agree with the other people who suggest the honda. we had a 91 honda accord which we gave to our son when it had 150,000 miles on it. that was 7 years ago. it now has over 220,000 miles and just keeps walking. he took it after we bought a honda cr-v (wife) and a honda civic (me). we now have about 65,000 miles on each. with all 3 of them, we never had a major repair. a lot of people will ask their buddies before buying a car. but how many people do they know? and how many cars have the buddies owned (and for how long)? so i usually go to consumer reports and check out their ratings. they accept no advertisements and no donation of products. they test the vehicle and tell you how they tested them. once a year, they also survey their readers and ask what car do they own and the repair history of the car. for years, consumer reports has rated honda as a "best buy". you might decide to keep it for a while after you graduate while you find a job and start saving money. or, if you do sell it as you plan - the reputation of the honda will help you get more of your money back.
