Disclaimer: you're preaching to the choir since as a car enthusiast, I'm not one to follow the advice I posted. However... When the car dies, it's expected to have been driven long enough that it's nearly worthless anyways, so you're not going to be losing much. I would expect a 2013 (ten years old) Toyota or Honda to be pretty reliable. I would even gamble a 2013 Toyota Camry will last longer than a 2023 Mercedes Benz or various other brands. Is a 2013 Toyota Camry safer than a 2023 Toyota Camry? Probably not, but I'm pretty sure there is a certain level of diminishing returns, and the gap between a 2013 Camry and 2023 Camry is not significant. Also, this is a Camry (or Accord or CR-V or RAV4 etc.). We're not talking about a high level of sophistication. I'd be more concerned if this was something like a Mercedes or Porsche or even something like a Civic Type-R that have long had all sorts of fancy technology to achieve a high level of performance.
