My brother sold his Toyota Tercel with over 200K miles to a mechanic. It did
NOT burn any oil either.

My fatherinlaw is still driving his 1990 Toyota Camry without any problems.

BUT my wifes Voyager gave out after 40K miles same head gasket problem.

If I had a choice, I would stay away from American cars especially Chrysler
products.. The quality is just NOT the same as Japanese and European. Though
price/features is great compared to them.
