I drove an old lady's Chrysler minivan last night that had 191K miles on it. It was one of those that has thin headlights, mid-90's model I think. Anyway I was rather impressed with its solidness and lack of rattles, squeaks, clunks, etc. She was the third owner and said all she had to have done other than routine maintenance was a fuel pump and brakes. It still had good pep and the transmission shifted smoothly.
By contrast my 97 Camry has many rattles, squeaks, shot struts and other things with 135K miles on it. When I bought it at 62K miles it was blowing smoke and had to have the engine rebuilt by the dealer. It has been mostly good since then other than the noises.
Of course this doesn't mean I will buy a Chrysler but hopefully the quality of domestic brands has improved since I last owned one. If you were to buy a domestic brand today what would it be?
