I made a list today of the vehicles ive owned. 85 chevy s10 blazer was good.

A couple used ones i dont know the year, without rummaging thru the basement for old files.
The 3 used ones i bought were the worse. Had to rebuild engine on a ford tempo, then after my wife rolled the 93 accord in 99, bought a minivan, and transmission went out couple months later, and ac went out. And the f150 was one breakdown after another. My first honda was a 90 accord, traded it, too early for the 93 accord. Had 2000 civic, gave to a nephew when i got the 2005 pilot, which i still drive. 2001 dodge 1500 quad cab was nice, but had famous cracked dash, and ac went out too early. So have the 2008 chevy. 2500hd now. Already told about 2008 pos impala. Traded it for 2013 pilot. Picked up 2017 elantra for my son. Thats all the vehicles ive owned. Would love a nice 70s chevelle.

F-150, approaching that 250,000 mile mark. It has been well care for and is still reliable.

Just bought a 2014' E-350 passenger van with 100k after the trans went on our 04' CTS with 195k. The E-350 is replacing both the CTS and my E-450 box truck with 195k in order to cut down in vehicle insurance costs, etc. The CTS had been a good car but the 3.6 was sucking oil badly.

Let's see, sold my F150 with 240k last year after running that one since I bought it at 177k. Sold the Dodge dually at 250k after I bought it at a young 60k. Almost forgot the FL70 I bought with over 500k then sold it after about 10k or so before I decided that I really did not need it.

If memory servers, the last new car was a Toyota Camry back around 92'. I sold that one with a young 106k in 95' or 96'?

I try to buy replacement parts from the scrap yard or online.

FWIW, before you go for that new car smell, pick up a can of high heat spray paint and "dose" up the engine. See if that helps, lol!

The highest mileage vehicle I've owned is a 2004 Dodge with a Cummins, something like 150,000 miles on it or more when I traded. The last two trucks I've traded were because of rust. Not the kind of rust that made them unsafe I just hate looking at it. In my opinion the sweet spot for trading in a vehicle in terms of value is less than 100,000 miles. The best way money wise is to drive the thing into the ground or until its unsafe or your afraid it will break down on you. Every vehicle is different in terms of what mileage that happens, but most modern cars and trucks that's over 100,000 miles and maybe as much as 200,000 miles if you keep up on it.

You need to get something other than a Dodge! It will change your perspective.

I just traded my 11 Sierra SL 1500 Crew 4.8 4x4 for a 17 Ram 1500 SXT Crew Cab 5.7 Hemi 6 speed 4x4.

What a serious step up in quality, smoother ride, comfort and power. Absolutely happy with it. It will get a Krown de-salt come spring and a full krown rust proof next summer.

I bought a Ford about 3 months ago.

Not sure what that comment was about either????

Maybe he meant if you buy something other than a Dodge you'll then realize you can't run them that long???

I don't know..... :confused3:
