Not to worry: there are plenty of inexpensive, reliable cars out there; Neons, or Mustangs from 1985 - 2004, 3rd-gen Camaros, Crown Vics, etc if it doesn't have to be a Mopar.
I've got over 275,000 on my '96 Breeze, nothing more than maintenance items and the occasional expected repair...at this point, I'm curious as to whether it'll outlive me.
