Who has the oldest daily driver?
- Thread starter hardcore302
- Start date
Daily driver; '91 940 Volvo turbo wagon. + 70 year old wifey occasional driver=100 years.
1992 Toyota Pickup here. It is simply the best most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned. I don't have the heart to get rid of it.
I'm definitely in the oldest 5% at work, and for the rust belt 2006 is getting up there, but the SW guys will have some old ones....
Older than 1991?? Come on people. Gotta be someone doing the daily with a 1970s or 60s car or truck……
Not the oldest by far I'm sure, but my '96 Maxima is still doing 70 mile daily commute to work and back at 310K. I'm on borrowed time on the exhaust, it's starting to come apart in front of the muffler, big hole which makes it sound like one of those ricer cars, only thing I'm lacking is the 8" diameter chrome exhaust tip 
. I just replaced the flexpipe in spring, but everything after that looks like it needs replaced.

I drive my 87 f250 a few times a week. That count? Before I had that it was a 1973 international
I had the '95 Eagle Talon non-turbo I was trying to make a fuel saving daily driver, but it kept breaking and then the rear sub frame rotted out so there went that idea...
My brother-in-law has been DDing my 88 F-150 for the past few months while his duramax has been in the shop.. I haven't driven it more than occasionally since I've had kids, but its been serving him well!
I daily drive my 2006 Camry
But I used to daily drive the 2001 Villager, it was useful for my old job

'92 Acura Vigor, but I also run a '17 Buick Lacrosse, switching between the two as needed.
I'm building a lot of stories about sourcing parts. Latest was a NOS alternator, from a seller in Kuwait. When you're close to the Ultimo hombre many times parts are unobtainable, sometimes you get a good deal. $225+$57 shipping. By comparison, a new OEM alternator for a '13 Honda Fit is $1091. Several months ago I got a NOS starter for $100.
(NOS = new, old stock)

1994 Toyota Tercel. Still has the original cassette tape radio.
While its not my oldest vehicle my 92 Mazda B2600 serves as my daily when I'm not driving my work van. At 30 years old its dead nuts reliable, fun to drive and good on gas.
