Subject: RE: How many miles on your car/truck??The Escape (pronounced ess-scop-eh, as close to naming something as I get ) has 188k miles on it. I'm hoping to make it last another 6-9 months which will put it around the 210k mark with all the driving I do for my new job. I'd go longer but it's developed rust in a few spots and I need a decent looking car for work. I figure all drive the rusty car through the winter and get a replacement in the spring. We bought it with 55k.
The wife's Honda Pilot has 85,000ish miles. We also bought it with around 55,000 miles on it.
If the Pilot wasn't soo much more comfortable I'd get another Escape. As it is, I'm torn between being a 2 Pilot household, a mid sized pickup (like a Tacoma ) or a small wagon.
I like to buy some cars a couple years old with 40,000 to 50,000 miles and then drive them till they die or rust out. My wife's last car was a 1999 Nissan Sentra that rusted out at 190k. My previous car was a 1991 Mazda 626 that got up to about 200k and needed more work then was worth doing (I neglected it in college ). Edited by graceful_dave 2010-10-11 10:26 AM
