Looking for advice on a car for my slightly elderly mother to drive. Most be highly dependable, mid/economy sized, rear-wheel drive, 4 door, automatic,GM car or wagon, basic equpped, easy to work on. I know we may have to go for an older model. Does anyone have any suggestions of what we can look for??? :rolleyes:

How old are you willing to go? GM hasn't made a midsize RWD car since 1988 (Olds Cutlass, Chevy Monte Carlo). I would recommend an early 90s Chevy Caprice, Cadillac Fleetwood, or Buick Roadmaster - Not really economical or midsized, but very easy to work on.

I'm even thinking about mid 80s. My dad's been a Chevy man all of his life. So maybe something with a v6 or I6. My hubby is a Ford person, so we're not real up on other types.

Thanks everybody. I've decided to go for a mid-80s Caprice V6.
