My wife had a 2004 trailblazer she loved. At 225k miles the transmission went out. I asked what kind of car she wanted and she said "my trailblazer".

I "zero houred" her Trailblazer. I changed everything that could possibly fail in the next 100k miles. I replaced her interior carpet, new leather seats, etc.
I cost 5k. I sold it at 325k miles. It still looked like new.

It’s generally going to be cheaper to repair your car than get a new one.


While this is true, dealing with the repair shops is such a pain in the arse these days and with my wife and daughter, I want them to have very dependable cars.

My car has 130k miles and my sons is at 145k miles and his is 12 years old. We going to keep going for a while with ours.
