High mileage on a 10 year old car? I think not...

 

and na we got rid of the Monte Carlo 

high mileage has nothing to do with how old the car is. if it was 3 years old with 80,000 thatd be high...the value of a car plummets at 100,000 and i always get a new car before it hits that mark because cars basically start to fall apart at that point

You have no idea what you’re talking about...

the average driver drives 10,000-15,000 miles a year...

by age alone it’s barely been driven

im not the only one who has heard about the 100,000 mile thing

 

Not only can I not read that but, I don’t take someone’s opinion from reddit and make it my own....therefore it’s on the interwebs so it must be true....😐

its not from reddit. a car salesman and a car warranty seller told me that. i was gonna buy a new extended warranty for my saturn and got an estimate. he said the estimate would skyrocket after i hit 100,000.

heres another article that mentions 100,000 as a significant threshold

the other day i was driving 'ford explorer' i think it's like 7 years old?

anyway, i was like 'i miss driving stick' i learned on a '3 on the tree' 

i want a new car that has stick. i've been told they don't make those anymore. so i'll have to get an older car for that i guess. 

Automatic cars do have a option for stick...at least mine does...down side...no clutch

yeah,i need the clutch. 

i am seriously thinking of finally getting a bug. 

we'll see. have to wait until these bills are paid off. only got about 3k left. not terrible. 

credit is excellent, i mean i could go get a personal loan, but i figure, if i have to buy used/older i better be prepared 

for at least 5k to go back in to it?
