Mine are 26 years old, and 10 years old. And they both look and run like a brand new vehicles.

‘04 Dodge diesel 190,000 miles, no problems going to work on any given day. 15,000 lbs on the trailer up an down Ozark hills works just fine.

‘06 Buick Lucerne Northstar 124,000 miles, wish they still made them and I’d buy one today since they don’t we will press on.

Wish someone did glider type restorations.

Don’t care for the new vehicles and they are not worth the stupid prices on them.

Soon Biden will outlaw gasoline and diesel so we won’t have to fix our old jalopies.

My 2016 Honda Accord Sport has just over 49,000 miles. I am retired and do not drive much so my car will last for years.

BTW the center console storage lid will not close unless I force it to as Honda made it cheap and the hinges or spring are askew. Here are the steps to take apart.
Mine is similar.

Same here my daughter burned up the motor in her 2009 RAV4 it has some body issues also but new tires and so we bought from her for 1500 ( charity so she could buy another car) and will invest about 4500 in an engine with 74K and install included. Total cost 6 K is still below what they sell for with about 150 K miles.
Yes my daughter is very rough on cars…

I have a 10 year old Nissan Rogue with 135K on it. Runs great and has never cost me a dime over maintenance and gas. However it has the CVT which is kind of a ticking time bomb. When (not if) it goes I’ll likely drop in a new one. Wonder if there is a way to extend the life of a CVT.....my transmission mechanic doesn’t know one but doesn’t work on them because he says Nissan has cornered the market on parts.

I get a kick out of all the losers driving “show” jeeps, pickups and broncos. I call them show because they have big off road tires, winches, extra lights, Jerry can holders, etc. on them, but they spent so much money that there is no way in hell they are going to take them off-road or risk getting them dirty or scratched. Extended-cab trucks are nothing more than cars with an open trunk. So they wash them every day and they always look like they drove them out of the showroom 5 minutes ago.
