See, I think I honesty do know what I’m talking about. I’m an ASE master certified technician with over 25 years of experience and I run a large repair facility. And I have driven cars to 300,000 miles, myself, personally. And looking at you post about how easy it is to keep a car 40-50 years with little effort...not only makes me laugh my brains out, but makes me question your knowledge of cars to the point that I’m now starting to get secondary embarrassment for you.I honestly don't think you know what you're talking about.
I just looked at Craigslist locally. This is literally the 3rd car I looked at. This search took me less time than typing this response, maybe 40 seconds.
A 1999 Mercury V8, with 146k miles. Will do 25mpg on the road. These are tanks. Safe, reliable, former fleet cars, easy to work on, and will go 300k miles if maintained. At 30k per year, you'd pile on 5 years of trouble free driving. If all highway, you might get 500k miles on this car. Look at how clean and well cared for this car is! $2000. Two grand. I'm tempted to go buy it but I see deals like this all the time.

That very car you point out (a very reliable car), I spent years working on. And you are not putting 500,000 miles on that car without effort (as good as that car is). Never mind the 32 year old Honda you listed or the Mitsubishi (<<<I almost threw up even typing Mitsubishi).
