Rookie numbers. How are you putting so few miles on?

I am actually worried about replacing my old truck. I drive with house money these days, and I think I’ve picked up some bad habits. I’m never really afraid of hitting things that aren’t other vehicles.

Daily driver is a 2016 Honda Accord. Dealership provides a lifetime power train warranty if I have them do all maintenance. I’m gonna drive this MF until the wheels fall off! They’re gonna regret that offer.

Have you priced all the required maintenance if you drive it for 120K miles? Even at Honda's rates I could easily see 3K in maintenance.

Powertrain is not bumper-to-bumper. Still a lot of crap that isn't covered.

09 Silverado with 135k currently. I’m hoping to make it to 200k miles.

I really want a new truck but that $0 car payment is hard to beat

Til it starts to cost me too much money.... currently with used limited 2010 highlander bought in 2013 with 48k, now at at 130k. Only tires, brakes, and oils changes so far and a damn sunroof drain clog that flooded the carpet and had to be replaced. If anything major comes along I’m out otherwise will drive to 200k likely. It’s paid for, I enjoy that

Got a 2009 Honda Civic in 2010 and have ran it to 176k miles on it. Hope to have to for at least another 100k. Already not looking forward to another car note.

My uncle has a 1985 Toyota SR5 Xtracab. Bought it new towards end of 84. Standard. Just about everything mechanical under the hood has been replaced at least once.

Never been repainted,and not really rusty.

I think he thinks he's a Cuban...

My aunt has refused to ride it since about 2008, and she's had 5 cars in the time he had 1 truck.
