Advice on a car purchase
#18
(12-31-2019, 02:05 AM)grampahol Wrote: 200,000 isn't nearly as rare as it once was. My 2002 Ford F150 is already close to 250,000 with it's only real issue of concern now is a malfunctioning anti-theft system that kicks in from time to time which I plan to have modified to eliminate the anti-theft part by having the PCM module modified to eliminate it..
The last vehicle I had that I even worried about not reaching 200,000 was a late 70's model Buick Regal and even it was pushing over 175,000. I got it in a trade to some young, unmarried couple who wanted my old POS van for a "make out" buggy since they both lived at home with their parents.. LOL

200,000 now days is nothing. I expect that soon the magic number will be cars regularly turning over 500,000.. 

I do agree Toyotas have been noted as lasting longer than most or at least used to be. My favorite car I ever owned was a 74 Toyota Celica GT. That one paid for itself many times over delivering pizzas back when that job was worth bothering to have..

Good points!
