My Paseo was flooded (as in, submerged in water) during a big rainstorm one week while I was in school. In school I would go a week or more without driving, so I didn't notice that the lot had flooded and I wasn't paying attention when I tried to start my car with water in the engine. All I had to do to get it running again was replace the CPM (processing module). About 300 bucks. Traded it in at about 110k but it was running strong, no issues.
Drove the shit out of my Tacoma, put 100k on it in about 5 years, never had a single issue. It had many more miles by the time I sold it, still runs great.
Had a Chevy Cavalier. After about 70k it would rattle like it was going to fall apart if you took it over 55 mph. Died at 90k (hell, the odometer would have recycled if I'd been able to take it over 99,999).
