re: Car cost vs miles driven

Way too many variables for this to be accurate, increased cost of initial purchase of the car does not mean it will have increased reliability in the slightest. Also a $5k Toyota is not the same as a $5k MB, BMW, etc. Just like a $30k+ Toyota /Honda is not the same as a $30k Euro car. Just because cars are the same price doesnt mean the reliability is even close.

I'm reading your thoughts and critiques I see the down votes for my question.
Let me break down my logic this way:
You buy Chevy Impala for $24,500. You own for 12 years.
Chevy dies/kerplibk at 150,000 miles.
You scrap for $300.
Total cost of Chevy is $24,200.
I buy a Toyota Yaris for $15,000
At $150,000 miles it's still fine. But it dies at $200,000 miles 15 years later.
I scrap for $100. Total cost was $14,900.
You are 3 years into your next Impala at $25,000 cost.
No sense made on this?
