Our 5 year old Mercedes with 30K miles will no doubt last our lifetimes. It had better with this crazy market. I’ve heard of many folks selling their 2-3 year old car for more than they bought it for new. It’s NUTS.
We just made the decision to replace lots of stuff that typically goes with age in the 2005 BMW convertible since it only has 75,000 miles on it. Hopefully it will now last a loooooong time so we don’t have to overpay for a new vehicle that is littered with a bunch of computerized sensors and chips waiting to go bad.
