My 1995 Subaru wagon finally succumbed after 235k miles. I replaced it with a 1999 Subaru with only 109k miles for $2700. Looking at 100000 trouble free miles.
My 1998 k2500 finally wore out the engine after 200k miles. My solution? Brand new factory guaranteed engine installed for $5k total.
We’ve been doing this the 40 years we’ve been married. Instead of putting our wealth in the driveway we put it into real property. Works for us.
Excellent!
