My 2000 4Runner has 250K miles...just replaced the battery.

Bought a crap battery back in 2013 since I didn't think I'd still be driving it, but still got it and is running fine

I try to stick with Interstate brand batteries with the 5 year warranty, but I suspect most of them are all the same these days.

Every vehicle I have owned has gone over 100,000 miles. Almost all over 150,000 to 200,000 before I get rid of them.
Almost all were Fords. Mustang (replaced A/C), Crown Vic (2) (On both had to replace a coil and the other 2 coils), Thunderbird (Replaced distributor relay), Tempo (No issues), Escort (No issues), and Excursion (No issues).
I had owned one Toyota Camery and drove it to a little over 100,000 and one thing after another began breaking after about 75,000-80,000 miles. (Too many repairs to list)
I own a BMW 3 Series convertible (still have). It has 123,000 but it's been a money hog to keep going. (Too many repairs to list) Idler pulley broken currently. Will replace myself on Saturday.
I also currently own a Ford Focus (No issues)

It's almost impossible to break enough shite for the repair bill to exceed the cost of a new vehicle.

Put yourself $500 in a "vehicle" account monthly. When something breaks, fix it out of that account. See how much money is there in 3 or 4 years.


Wouldn't but new. I always get a cheap used car from someone I know. That way I know exactly what I'm getting.

I had one that needed a transmission at 70,000 miles. I've had a problematic vehicle before, but that fricking Camry pissed me off even more than the F150.

A friend of mine had the same car but a year newer and the damn thing never seemed to break.

'99 Dodge Ram 110K water pump, routine maintenance.
'01 Toyota Sequoia 185K , tailgate handle x2 routine maintenance.
'04 Jeep Unlimited 120K routine maintenance.
'06 Jeep X 148K routine maintenance.
Making them last as long as possible.
Don't want any new vehicle note if I can help it.
But if any start becoming a money pit then I'll get rid of it.

215,000 on a 1999 Olds Intrigue, I had it for 15 years and it was a great car. Much better than the 2005 Ford Explorer which hit 175,000 but needed a lot more repairs than the Olds. Drive em til the wheels fall off.

Is this just a thread to try to call out the OT poors?

Actually those who don't constantly buy new cars have a better shot at being OT ballers. My 2008 Tahoe has 125K on it, it's been paid for, and I"m driving it until it cost too much to keep. By then I should have the cash put away to pick up a new one.

I typically drive them for 120-150k. Dad bought a new Grand Cherokee in 2000 for my mom. She drove it, he drove it, then after college I drove it. Traded it on a 2005 GC when it had around 110k. Good truck for 7 years. The 2005 had 18k on it and I sold it with 130k on it in 2012. Had it 5 years. Before either of those I had a 2001 Ram 1500. Got it new and drove it all through college. Dad kept it for a work truck a few years and then gave it to my uncle. He traded it in last year. Drove great for 15 years and no telling how many miles. I put 70k on it in the first 4 years.

My 05 F150 has 112k. Had 89k when I bought it 4 years ago. Only major thing I've had done was spark plugs
