25. 1994 GMC Jimmy purchased in 1998 with 43k miles
Replaced the tires after a year, had Uniroyals that went flat a few times.

At 68K miles, had to replace the plugs and wires after it wouldn't start on a cold January morning.

Once every few years some valve would get stuck causing the engine to want to die. Usually happened a few times then would be fine for months or years after. Never really fixed it.

Drove it cross country twice, did some off-roading in Colorado, I moved to my home with it, one load at a time, hauled countless engines and parts for my brother in law, helped moved my cousin, moved some couches for a friend once.

Only serious problem is it would get rusty and we replaced a fender.

Never left me stranded. Averaged about 15-16 mpg.

Traded it in on a new Jeep Patriot in 2007 with 93k miles on it.
