You would probably be able to buy the 76 LeSabre cheaper than the newer review topic model 1989 Crown Vic.

Your comment was wrong three years ago and still is now. The comments in that LeSabre review pertain to the FACT that cars made up until the mid to late 1980's were, for the most part, considered junk by the time they hit 100K miles and THAT is why the odometers back then only registered up to 99,999 miles. Yeah there were exceptions and we'll certainly hear some story about somebody's 1970 whatever that made it past 100K miles and kept going, but most of the vehicles made back then... didn't. It's not a "belief" that they were "not meant to go over that", it's a fact that most did not. This contradicts the BELIEF, stated ad nauseam in comments here, that those old cars were built better and lasted longer than modern cars. They weren't and they didn't. Anyone who BELIEVES otherwise is welcome to supply proof in support, but anecdotes about that 1970 whatever making it past 100K miles... are not it.

And that was your opinion four years ago. The fact is today, most if not every brand built after 2020 has absolutely atrocious build quality. Reliability? You can forget that too. Most people are indeed keeping their older cars from whatever decade, steering clear of the overpriced trash that is dieing on dealerships lots.
There will always be the old vs new discussion mainly focusing on the 70s and 80s.
You can spare me the whole 5 digit odometer talk also. It was in the middle 80s when this started to surface. Mainly because the better cars from the 70s were rolling odometer back to zero, sometimes twice.

Most recent 1976 Buick LeSabre review. There is a discussion about it on the first three pages of comments, not to mention a few other threads. Really don't feel like listing them all. Amazing how some on here tend to forget certain comments they have posted.
