Beat me to it.

I think it’s kinda funny that I bought a 1963 rambler in 1970 as my first car. I got it pretty cheap because it was considered both old and high mileage. It was 7 years old and had 64,000 miles on it.

Agreed, but I think that SUV/Trucks top the list because of the owners. Because of price and need, we tend to take care of them and keep them. If we sell them, the new owners are the same way. If I sell a car, the next owner is just looking for something cheap to get around.

Correct. The questions is, to what extent do you need to put time, money, repairs and parts into that 200,000 miles?

Its been my many years of experience that Japanese cars will get you to 200,000 far cheaper than American cars.

After 9 years and 130,000 miles the only thing that’s gone wrong with my Nissan is the windshield washer is broke.

Oh Darn.

Yep. IF you live in the cold weather states the weather and salt on the road will rust out a car's body before the engine or drive train goes out. Assuming you take care of the vehicle and maintain the fluid and oil levels.
