Best car for a job with A LOT of windshield time...

I've put on ~21k miles since March 2015... so that's ~2,300+ miles per month...
I drive a 2015 Toyota, but I don't know if I should be putting another 2,300/mo miles going forward...
Any thoughts on if I should just drive this into the ground or re-up and do it to a new car this year?
Thanks.

Tacomas last forever. If youre OK with the gas mpg, you are good.

Why can't this car do the trick?

Unless you definitely can afford it, drive that thing until the wheels fall off.

do you pay for gasoline and maintenance?...is the car comfortable to you, or would you buy something else next time?...

Prius. Seriously. Very reliable and fuel efficient

You're kind of running out of options then.
You could buy a shitty car and drive that into the ground maybe.

I am driving my Honda into the ground. I look forward to hitting 200k miles

I dont get it. You have a job that you drive 2300 miles a month with no car allowance?
Posted on 1/3/16 at 9:28 pm to ksayetiger
Yeah seems messed up

What exactly are you doing? No way you should be putting that kind of miles on a personal vehicle unless they company is paying enough extra to cover the note plus maintance.
My girl drives a company car, it is a Toyota Avalon. Nice car with great gas mileage.

If they aren't paying enough to cover all the expenses I'd just get a cheap corolla and run that bitch until it dies.

You could just start 'trading' them in often. Buy used with ~15 miles and sell every 18 months or so. If you get good deals on the front end you may never take too big of a hit and you'll always have a reliable ride.

Well, considering the number of Miles you put on it, you're most definitely underwater, and always will be if you get a new vehicle every year. It depreciates much faster you can pay on it currently. You need to wait until its paid off and you have at least some bit of equity.
