I tended to keep cars around 200,000 miles. And often in the maybe 25,0000 miles leading up to that time, the vehicles needed some repairs. When it seemed the repairs were getting too frequent or some really big ones were on the horizon, that was when I usually let go. My commute was 67 miles each way, and often had others riding with me, so I liked to feel the car was reliable.
But without that commuting involved, I’d have been even more willing to nurse it along a bit, figuring I’d be paying car payments of X dollars a month instead.
