[Leica] OT: Which car to buy...

[gpinkcp at msn.com (Gary Pinkerton)]

Our '02 Avalon has been the most trouble free car I've owned. 180,000 miles; 
battery, front brakes, tires, and maintenance has kept it going great.
Had to have front end work on our '00 Tundra 4x (119,000 miles) but 
otherwise it's been fine too.
Both were bought 2nd hand; haven't had a new car since my fine ol' mid '70s 
Rabbit :)
