I bought a garage queen SE and had a year of stuff to fix (AM-FM head, alternator, steering stabilizer, leaking breather covers, weak battery took out seat belt module, etc.) Love my car but it was a lot of work.

Back in 2010, I bought a Graphite Roadster that was the guy's daily driver. That car made it 2200 miles home without a hitch. Ignition locked up a month after I got it home, but other than that, I never had a problem with it. Daily drivers can be way more reliable and less trouble than garage queens.
