Beyond obvious sites like Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds, can the SDope recommend websites that would reveal good and bad years for any model vehicle? …and/or problematic issues known to haunt certain models across the years?

Consumer reports, but you have to be a subscriber.

There’s also [truedelta.com](http://truedelta.com). It’s entirely reliant on self-reported data, and since it’s not as popular as Consumer Reports, they necessarily have a more sparse and less representative sample to work with.
