easily go 300,000 miles when serviced regularly. Had a co-worker who swore the cheapest way
to pay for your own transportation was go to a used car lot, find the cheapest car on the lot that
fits your needs that starts & stops, buy it, drive it until the engine or transmission goes out. Then
sell it to the salvage yard and repeat the process.

He had a number of cheap cars that lasted him 3 & 4 years, and never had a car payment.
