These are the same kind of people that give me crap because we drive expensive cars.
A 2012 range rover and a 2014 cls63. Yeah, we buy them 5 or 6 years old for cash and if we have to put maybe a couple grand into them every year. Still better that 1200 a month for 7 years.
This blows me away. So the car is starting to “need stuff”, then do the stuff and save money. Modern cars can go 200K easy if well maintained. All of our cars, save the latest purchase, have well over 100K miles.

I don’t know though, maybe if you buy a Yukon, 100K is dump-it time?
