My truck has over 100k and the town car is approaching 100k - that
little escort i bought to keep the gas milage down is over 100k - 115k

100k is nothing nowadays.



That's true if you buy the right vehicle.


Absolutely!

My youngest son is now
driving the Camry that I bought new in 1992. It is at almost 200K
miles and still going strong in NYC traffic and roads.


Rust will consume that car before wear & tear.

My wife's
Honda Accord is over 100K miles and still runs like new.


It'd better. It's not even broken in yet.


On the other hand our 1991 Dodge Caravan had trim falling off of it by
50,000 miles, 3 transmissions, all new brakes and a radiator by
70,000. It was getting too unreliable to keep, and it will be a long
time before we buy another Chrysler product. I'd rather spend my
money on boats. (on topic)




My neighbors Honda minivan is maybe 3 years old, not that many miles, and is
on it's 3rd tranny. Maybe it is a Chrysler product in disguise.
