I think you are pretty well there.

Sell when the cost of ownership exceeds the interest (or lost interest) cost of a newer more reliable car.

I have a 97 Volvo (200,000 miles) that is totally reliable and costs less than $500 per year on maintenance. It is also a really nice car to drive.

My other car will soon be a Jetta TDI with 200,000 miles. Same low repair costs, but less fuel.

For me, two crappy cars are cheaper than one 'good' daily driver.

I don't think I can cut my costs too much beyond where I am now.
