Whatever...

It all depends on mileage and wear and tear. If you drive an EcoBoost turbo like a maniac your reliability comes into play.

If you buy a high mileage vehicle know well what reliability issues might come into play.

If you drive like my wife and put on like 4k miles a year who cares.

High mileage hybrids are a gamble. Cost of repairs are higher than normal.

I've had 3 new BMWs. Never buy another one due to excessive depreciation, reliability and cost of repairs. Oh, look sharp and nice to drive but buyer beware.

And you never thanked a single person just one time?
