For a Chrysler product, I'd say if you can make it home from the dealer without a check engine light you're off to a great start!
I’ve never had that issue…. In fact, GM products have left me sitting, not Chrysler.For a Chrysler product, I'd say if you can make it home from the dealer without a check engine light you're off to a great start!
I have a similar scenario playing out.When I retired I had to turn the company car in and was left with my pickup truck. I needed to get something for general driving like groceries and visiting. I ended up with a new Manual trans Fiesta. Tax title tags out the door $12,600. The truck gets 17mpg on mid grade the car gets 40 mpg on regular. I calculated I needed to drive the car in place of the truck for 75,000 mile to save 12,600 in gas costs and another 25,000 miles to cover the cost of insurance. Its coming up on 10 years and I am almost at 75k miles. In another 4 years it will have payed for itself and all its costs just in gas savings over the truck which I still have.
Not sure that makes sense?I've driven my last three vehicles to over 300k miles before I got tired of them. Soooo, over 300k to get one's money's worth.
Who knew? Those Fiat 500s seem to be quite reliable cars.I bought my 2012 Fiat 500 for $11,000 off a neighbor with 600 miles on it. We usually garage our newer cars in the winter and drive the Fiat. Just crossed 180,000 miles and drives like new. Other than maintenance the only repair was a new thermostat. This car owes me nothing based on how much I paid.
They got bad reviews but mine has been outstanding. Cheap basic transportation.Who knew? Those Fiat 500s seem to be quite reliable cars.
Too literal.Not sure that makes sense?
I got rid of one car just after 100k as I was ired of it.
I got rid of its replacement after 300k as I thought it was time—not because I was tired of it. (tired of the repairs perhaps, but not because I had something better in mind.)
Can't tell you the total miles but I was told back in the seventies by an old guy the Ten Cent Rule.
