The Most Reliable 2013 Models
March 21, 2013
People often ask me: "Is it better to buy new or used?" - the answer is... it depends. If you're going to keep the vehicle until the wheels fall off, then go ahead and buy the new vehicle, otherwise, it makes more financial sense to buy used.
So, if you're thinking about buying a new car and you intend to keep it for the long-haul, then this will be of interest:
Forbes just released a list of 2013 model-year vehicles that they're predicting can run for 250,000 miles - or even more-with proper care.
On the list: the Acura RDX, Lexus RX 350, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Toyota Yaris.
Be sure to check out the list below, and as always, I recommend you use the free RydeShopper to see what these vehicles are selling for in your local area.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and NADAGuides are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
