2.4 Auto darts with under 100k miles are easy in the 8-9k area.

Some 2.4-s have oil burning issues but not all. the 2.0s are good also, the 1.6 turbo and manual are all junk by 100k.
Some well taken care of 2.4-s (auto) are now past 300k miles.

My main reason to buy the first one is my wife is frail and the Darts have 10 air bags and a very good crash rating.

If needed they are simple to work on.

Just an example off the web.
