We have a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 195,000 miles. Our mechanic thinks it’ll last to 300,000 miles and wants to buy it from us if we ever decide to sell. What’s wrong with driving a car that still works?

We have a 2018 Nissan Murano SUV with all the bells and whistles, but our Corolla is still performing well and we’re keeping her until the end.

2004 Toyota Tacoma; 258, 000 miles, original owner. Not only no major repairs ever, no signs of even slowing down. Usually at 120-150k or so, you start to hear a little valve tapping, or transmission lightly straining. My Tacoma still sounds perfect, and has never let me down. I paid 20,000 for it new, so I’ll happily put a new motor or transmission when the day comes. I’m guessing that could be around 400,000 miles. I also have a newer vehicle (2017 Tacoma), but it is just a back up, I also plan to keep the older one for the long haul.
