re: 2017 used car with 12,000 miles - How is this possible?

I turned 15 and got my driver's license and my first car all on the same day in 1982. I bought a 1969 Ford Fairlane 4 door from a little old lady in our church. She was the original owner. It was a 13 year old car and had 1,800 miles on it. I paid her $400.

Interestingly, in 2007 I bought a used BMW Z-4. Kind of a mid life crisis vehicle. Bought it from a doctor in Dallas. He warned me he only had one key, and that if I lost it, the cost to replace it would be $450. We both laughed when I told him I only paid $400 for my first car.
