Cool Re: Apples to Oranges?

There are still a number of people out there who think 60K miles is a lot for a car and when something breaks, it's time to trade-in. I know someone who has traded in some of the nicest vehicles that EASILY had another 100K left in them. Anyway, sorry for the rant! [/B][/QUOTE]



My '92 SVX had the lowest mileage (76K) of any of the last four cars I've bought. Two of these cars had over 110K when purchased, and both are still on the road 5-7 years later. Most people still think 100K means "sudden death any minute now". I love to bargain with sellers of this mind-set.

Ron.
