I am buying an inexpensive used car for my grandson to commute about 20 miles to college each day. I am looking at a 2005 Ford Taurus with 90,000 miles on it for $3100 and a 2003 Subaru Forester with 130,000 miles on it for $4500. I've owned a Taurus and have had pretty good luck with it, I've never owned a Subaru but have heard many good things about them. The difference in price really doesn't matter to me. I do see many Subaru's for sale with very high (160,000-190,000) miles on them.
Any thoughts or suggestions on which to buy will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
