My wife has a 91 she bought w/ 60K on it. It now has 160K. All we have had to do is replace a starter, beyond regular maintence. Last fillup she got 17mpg. She commutes 50 miles to work. 15-17 in the winter and 17-19 maybe 20 on a good day in the summer. When we replace it I have a feeling it will be w/ another. I would definately get it over a blazer in the same age. Especially in the same age. I think the toys and nissans hold up better in the long run.
