Once again, 200,000 miles is easy from a Saturn, if reasonable care is taken. 120,000 max? What's that based on? I could tell you to expect 130,000 miles max from a Civic because that's all my cousin got from his 95. Of course he didn't take care of it at all.

BTW, I hereby revise my $3000 estimate down to about $2500 after checking edmunds. 😱 My brief experience in the car trade usually has me guessing a little closer to Edmunds reports. I guess Saturn resale values are really starting to crash.

I currently have 183,000 miles on my '92 Civic.

And I said my cousin didn't take care of his car at all.

My 94 Saturn has 217,000 miles, and my 92 Civic has 160,000. I had an Accord with 247,000 miles, another Civic with 192,000, a Subaru with 170,000 and a Corolla with 165,000. I take good care of my cars.

My point is that if you take care of your car (no matter what it is), it will go a long, long way. If you don't, 120,000 miles max isn't a bad estimate.
