I hear you. My household has five Toyotas , the newest one has 200,000 miles with the oldest having shy of 425,000. Id take any of them cross country.
Ive been arguing with myself about my instinctive desire to upgrade to a newer model, but I think logic has finally won out.
The car runs beautifully, everything works, no rust.
And its best feature: its paid for.
Why on earth should I take on a new expense?
