re: I can’t help but think a lot of people driving newer cars with upside down loans

I own a Honda, me either, but all manufacturers have issues. Oil consumption and A/C issues are pretty common of recent for Honda. Some are worse like Nissan transmissions. Just saying it’s unlikely to have 300k “trouble free miles” on any car

Many cars will give 200,000-300,000 miles, with normal maintenance. Toyota and Honda are two of the most common. My friend had a Volvo, burning oil, what a POS. The dealership said this was normal. A friend bought an Audi the same time I bought a Tacoma truck, in 2019. The Tacoma is worth more. Some things last longer, have a better resale value. I've had 4 Toyota's as of late, $500 had been the biggest expense for A/C compressor. All other, regular maintenance.
