Keep driving! Only one vehicle in my family's garage with less than 100K.

My current "daily" is a '94 Grand Am, bought with like 86K on it, now over 200K. Got it cheap, many years of NO payment, just a little wrench work now and then. Dependable for 40-80 mile round trip commutes Monday-Friday and out of state road trips.

Just takes knowing what you're looking at to determine if a 100K mile car is worth buying.

It takes me a long time to hit 100,000 miles. My 1994 gmc sierra that i bought in March of 1998 with 52,000 has only 89,000 on it now. I don't drive more than say 10,000 a year and i get to split that up over three different vehicles. I do find myself driving the Monte the majority of the time, though. My point is Maniac, you aren't buying your vehicles from people like me, I tend to hold on to them and take care of them for years!
