And for some of us, we are approaching the point of where mileage and age will all get us one way or another. High mileage= more wear whereas low mileage=less use but probably more dry rot/ parts going bad from not being used.

I guess everyone here is going to jump ship when their car gets too many miles on it or they are just going to keep dumping money in it and ********************ing about how much it costs to repair.

FYI, a member on here ( I believe Jagermeister) has over 200K on his original engine and drives it daily. He did a write up not too long ago about going through and replacing a bunch of preventative maintenance parts that everyone else here has replaced, but his car seems to be extremely reliable. Guess the lesson here is all these cars are a gamble
Right, miles you got to put on it while you serviced the debt rather than buying it whipped. When you start with high mileage you are already in the repair zone before you make the first six payments.
