Drive Your Car Past The 100,000 Mile Mark

Most auto manufactures try to get you to believe that your car is junk after 100,000 miles.

That is old news but they want you to believe this in order to keep you buying new cars as often as possible.

Think about it, why would new cars don’t need a tune-up until a 100,000 miles?

During the 1970’s to early 80’s most cars did well to make it past 65,000 before they quit. Thus the marketing… cars are junk past that

I have a 1998 Ford Escort with over 350,000 miles on it.
Iit is my daily driver.

Still has the original engine and clutch. The only major maintenance was tie rod ends. Normal maintenance four sets of tires, two sets of brakes, a battery, and some fluid changes.

When this engine dies I plan on putting in a remanufactured one… about $3000

Note: A remanufactured engine is built to factory specs and a rebuilt engine is built with after market parts… go with the remanufactured engine.

With the cost of new cars these days it is much cheaper to keep your car going as long as you can.

I bought my Escort new ten years ago and I will be driving it for another ten… or as long as I can.
