With advancements in technology, the lifespan of a car has gotten longer. While few cars last longer than the average age of 12 years, these models have been known to be among the more reliable options:
  • Honda Ridgeline
  • Toyota Land Cruiser
  • Ford Expedition
  • Toyota Corolla
  • Honda Civic
  • Toyota Corolla
Keep in mind that this lifespan doesn’t just happen—you’ll have to keep a basic car maintenance schedule, and you may want to add an extended warranty once the car reaches a certain number of miles.
