sales bmw benz mustang ford? I have heard good things about Audi longevity, many can last until 100k miles.
What about Dodge? I am planning to buy either a used Audi or Dodge Magnum, but will a Dodge hold up well past the 50,000 mile point? I have also heard that the Dodge Durango is bad for longevity but that is a SUV unlike the sedan Dodge Magnum.
 
I don't know if I've ever heard anybody refer to any recent Audi as "reliable".

I have many clients with Durango/Dakotas that are well past 150,000 miles.

Every Audi I have ever seen with over 120,000 miles has a LOT of valvetrain noise. Audi-philes defend their car's capabilities but they don't deny the clatter.

The Magnum is made up of various E and S-Class Mercedes bits. Those parts should be at least as good as any Audi. I hate the 2.7 V6 in anything Chrysler makes and don't recommend it at all. It has(had) a sludging problem, the water pump is nearly impossible to access and it's just too damn small for a big wagon.
The 3.5 is a little better. The 5.7 is a lot better
