[QUOTE="zane, post: 15568, member: 540617"] Just goes to show the marvel of mechanical engineering in a few cases. So long as a car has regular maintenance and is driven the way it was intended to be by the manufacturer, they should be able to last quite a lot longer than most people expect. Unfortunately with many, you say 100,000 miles and they gasp and quiver in fear; thinking the car has lived its usefullness allready. Someone please tell me why 100,000 miles is a bad thing? Personally, if a car has less than 100,000 on its odometer, that frightens me a lot more. Anything over 100,000- perfect! The car has then been broken in and has proven itself to be capable of driving well. Face it- if a car reaches 100,000 miles- it has proven its dependability. Where as even the newest car from the factory could easily break down for good with under 10,000 miles on it. he he - miles rule!
