I hear you. My household has five Toyota’s , the newest one has 200,000 miles with the oldest having shy of 425,000. I’d take any of them cross country.
I’ve 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 it’s best feature: it’s paid for.
Why on earth should I take on a new expense?
