Once again our friends at iSeeCars, have crunched some data to find out which cars are likely to be kept for 15 years or more. This year’s list doesn’t look terribly different than the one from last year and is basically dominated by only two brands.

Once again the Toyota Highlander tops the list, but gone is the Prius that had the number two spot in 2019. From there it’s a fairly predictable list of other Toyotas, Hondas, and the Subaru Forester. Though it is a bit surprising to not see anything domestic like the Expedition or Suburban as those rigs have popped up on

On the longest-kept SUV list, the Mitsubishi Outlander makes a surprise appearance in the number eight spot. Can you imagine keeping a 2005 Outlander for all this time? Look at this thing:

I suspect that perhaps some folks just now getting around to paying off their loan to Mitsubishi, given how often some Mitsu dealers are a bit notorious for rolling over negative equity into really long loans.

However, I do take a bit of an issue with the iSeeCars list of sports cars, as there are an awful lot of sporty sedans on this, and while many of them may be great performance cars, the sedan body pretty much disqualifies them as a “sports car.”

For $5,000, This 2006 Mazdaspeed6 Could Be Your Stock Rocket
For $5,000, This 2006 Mazdaspeed6 Could Be Your Stock Rocket
The seller of today’s Mazda calls it an All-wheel drive Turbo Beast. These cars aren’t all that beastly, but hopefully this one’s price and condition will make you purr like a kitten. Propriety is held in high regard here. Just the thought - the mere thought - of replacing one...

For $7,000, Would You ‘Pickup’ This Custom 1971 Dodge Dart Demon?
For $7,000, Would You ‘Pickup’ This Custom 1971 Dodge Dart Demon?
Today’s Dodge Demon is a custom car that once was part of somebody’s collection. It’s pretty wild, and looks pretty professionally done, but will its price make it worth adding to our collection of Nice Price winners? Have you ever had a fancy ice-cream sundae, filled with tasty whipped cream,...

For $14,500, How About This 1989 Mitsubishi Pajero Diesel?
For $14,500, How About This 1989 Mitsubishi Pajero Diesel?
First generation Mitsubishi Monteros seem to have mostly gone the way of the wooly bully mammoth here in the States. Today’s JDM Pajero is here to take their place, and is kitted out in fine fashion. You’ll still need to decide if its price is pejorative however. A couple of...

For $17,000, Will This 2001 BMW 540i Get Your Goat?
The last time BMW put a pushrod V8 in a car was in the 1965 3200 CS. Here we are half a century later and today’s 5-series brings them back - by way of GM. That’s pretty crazy, but will its price push all your right buttons? Well, it didn’t...

When Do You Realize You've Bought The Wrong Car?
When Do You Realize You've Bought The Wrong Car?
There’s a right car for everyone. But not everyone buys the right car for them. I remember driving down the interstate late one night in my soon-to-be-destroyed and I felt completely invisible. To the rest of the world, I was just some shmuck in a dressed-up old Camry, not to...

How About This 1987 Subaru GL-10 Wagon For $3,800?
How About This 1987 Subaru GL-10 Wagon For $3,800?
It looks like today’s classic Subaru brings it all. Part of what it brings includes some rust around the edges however, so you’ll need to figure out if it’s worth bringing out the cash. Yowzer! Nice Price came screaming back with a vengeance yesterday, just as foretold by Judas Priest...
