BTW I am in the same pickle. My 05 Chev is pushing 310,000 miles and it seems like everyday something new goes wrong with it. (I mean it is 200,000 miles past expected service life).. Ford is dragging their feet with the new Transit (not the little connect. it’s a replacement for the econoline) but the bail out/loans thing bugs me.
I’ll likely replace it with a Benz diesel van.
Damn, that's a lot of miles in eight years. It works out to over a hundred miles a day, seven days a week, since it was new.
I bought my Chevy Silverado brand new in 98, and it's got 198,000 on the clock. And it's been a work truck all these years. My average works out to under 39 miles a day, since new.
Whatever job you've got, you can keep it! LOL
Hubby’s back is getting so bad he is having problems getting in and out of our Jag so yesterday I went and test drove a MB GLK 350 for him. Loved it! Actually decent priced too for a Mercedes. Edmunds gave it rave reviews so that will probably be our next vehicle.
Keeping the Jag cause it is mine and I love it too.
