re: When a vehicle is finally ready to be retired, it's usually not because of the drivetrain?

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra with only 126K miles on it. I run all Mobil 1 lubrication products in it. Mechanically, my great grand kids could probably drive it some day. But after 21 years in the Arizona heat, it seems like I have to replace some plastic or rubber part every other month. That shite is starting to get old. But I'm not about to to replace it with a vehicle that comes with a $700 a month payment and that gets driven about 500 miles a month.

Yet this is exactly what a lot of people do - even at higher mileage than you. It’s one of the many reasons poor people stay poor. They would rather sink more money into a quickly depreciating asset than incur minor less costly temporary nuisances for a less depreciating asset.
