My dad has had a 92 chevy silverado (from 50K-160K) and now has a 2001 silverado (50K-present, like 75 or 80K) and outside of regular maintenance has put in somewhere between $500-700 total in repairs in the last 15 years into those two trucks. For an everyday driver he will never buy anything but a silverado. My mom's chevy venture just sold with 200K on the clock, only problems were going through a few head gaskets and a tranny update. My GP has been great outside of electrical problems.
We've had good luck with gm cars in the family, hoping they turn things around because ford is definitely winning the domestic battle right now
