Have y'all actually kept a car longer than 6 years?
Around 100k miles, something fails
-Water Pump
-Fuel Pump
-A/C compressor
-Timing Belts
-Battery
-Spark Plugs
Around 150k miles it's the
-Starter
-Alternator
-Radiator/Heatercore
-Ball Joints/Tie Rods
-Wheel Bearings/Lug Nuts
-Oil Pan
Around 200k it's the
-Entire Electrical system going haywire - Window Regulators, Lock Actuators, Instrument Panel/Gauges
-valve Covers, gaskets and seals -most cars are either leaking oil or coolant at this point
-Whole Suspension, shocks and struts, differential, control arms. And keep in mind only ASE certified dudes can fix these things.
And finally around 250k the entire engine or transmission bites the dust. So by the end of all this, you ended up spending double the cars value. Hell, these mechanics are so busy, they might have your car for 3-4 days at a time waiting for parts to come in. Having to use rentals/Uber during the downtime is another thing that slowly drains your wallet.
