At what milage do you get rid of your car?

[SVT Cobra]

When do you say enough is enough? A,nd all I want is an average, not for special circumstances like an antique car or something else. If you buy brand new or close to brand new when do you sell it?

 

[MrPickins]

When it'll cost more to repair than I feel is worth the trouble.

Always over 100k (although I accidentally hit 20k in the poll)

QFT
My last 4 cars have over 100k, current one is at 165k.

 

[ponyo]

[ta8689]

Exactly. My car is approaching 100K, and I don't see replacing it any time soon. My mom's car is well over 100K, and it still works quite well.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

My car is at 186k or something like that right now, don't see myself getting rid of it, especially if my next car isn't a daily driver.

 

[Gibson486]

My car has 115k...and it is starting to fall apart. i am gonna replace it soon.

 

[FoBoT]

lame poll

next time do something like

<50K
50-100
100-150
150-200
>200K

This has been my perogotive. That or major crash in which car was close to or totaled.

 

[AgentJean]

I get rid of cars when I have money to buy an upgrade or if the thing blows up. Millage varries. anywhere from blowing up at 130k for crappy american cars to selling off a 95 Nissan with 185k(The thing still drives too)

 

[lokiju]

My current one has 130,000 and still driving fine.

Once it starts giving issues is when.

 

[Zenmervolt]

When I get tired of it and decide I want to try something else. Some cars this has been 217,000 miles, some, 15,000.

[Anubis]

my car currently has 170k ish miles on it and i dint plan on getting rid of it any time soon

 

[Tiamat]

when it cost more to repair than what i personally feel the car is worth.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Got rid of my last one at 288k because I loved it and probably kept it longer than I should. It really depends on how they treat me, I've ditched cars with as little as 30-50k on them.

 

[JulesMaximus]

90-100k miles. I haven't kept a car longer than that in the past 10 years.

Same here...I've yet to sell privately.

 

[Mloot]

Last one was my Ford minivan that I had for nine years and 217K miles. The new Toyota van I just bought should last as long.

 

[DrPizza]

When it has to be towed to the junkyard. My car payments from Jan 2006 thru Mar 2007: $0.00
Repairs: roughly $200, including a new battery, brakes, serpentine belt.

 

[IronWing]

I have no idea. 269k right now and no sale in site.

 

[Greenman]

250k to 300k depending on how bad I've beat it.

 

[totalcommand]

dumb poll. 150000+
