I'm a college student who can drink legally who chooses not to anyways, who is 1 and 1/2 years away from being finished (praise God for this). I have friends who will reach that mileage in three years. By 09, there will be enough people who owned 5.7L MDS 300Cs and Magnums that I'll know if they are reliable or not.

That is my system. I wait 5 years for new technology to be tested to see if its reliable. I do this because I have the brain of an accountant (which I inherited from my dad). I want my cars to be reliable formost. Anything else is extra. Since I'm not rich, I don't want to be in a situation where I will have to pay for expensive repairs.

Liver spots and corns? Either A you are a lot older than I thought or you have one dry sense of humor. Patience is a virtue and it can save all kinds of $$$.

What kind of mileage do you think a 6.1L MDS would get? 17/25 like the 5.7L model?
