2000 Hyundai Elantra 5 speed with 130K

2000 Nissan Sentra Auto 1 Owner with 259K

1994 Honda Accord LX Wagon Auto with 260K

My obvious first opinion is the Hyundai, but I know nothing about Hyundai...

Give me some feedback guys....
 
I also voted Honda, my dad has consistently put over 300k on his past 4 accords

Me too. I wrapped one around a pole with 387,000 on it, still mechanicly perfect. Was excited to see it hit 400k too dammit!
 
I voted Hyundai because it is the only manual of the bunch.
 
I'm a firm believer that you can buy a honda and it run forever..........I'm not a firm believer in buying someone else's honda and it running forever. Any p.o. can F up a car. Find the one that you feel has been the best taken care of (service records, general feel of the car, and honestly I like to meet a person to buy a car at their house to see how they take care of things). I'm going with gubni though that none of them sound very appealing. If you are looking for a cheap reliable ride go w/ something like this imho

Ive got a hand full of customers with over 400k on 90-97 accords. My mom has a 2000 sentra and Ive had no problems with it but it doesnt ride as good as an accord. Its a lot smaller. It does get nearly 40 mpg with an old lady driving you can get about 30 out of an accord. I vote honda. Plus its a wagon.
 
90s Honda is the proven reliability. Everything that will break, has already... and eitehr is broken now or been fixed. As said though it is all about the PO, if you don't get a good vibe from them, run, don't walk away.
