I saw a lot of Toyotas and Hondas used by couriers, that had 400k+ miles. Lots of other stuff on them was broken, but the engines were still turning over and the drivers were able to make the argument that they were still worth fixing and driving.
If I was going to spend 8 or 10 hours a day behind the wheel, I'd want more than the most basic of transportation. A little style, a little performance, a few amenities.
