My 2006 Matrix with 68,000 miles is probably worth a grand. but it runs perfectly, and I keep it maintained. Its like a money printing machine compared to buying any new car.

It is not flashy. But I hate flashy, so its perfect.

And its only worth a grand because the tires are 3 years old. I got 500 bucks out of the ATM and thought "hey, this car's worth 50% more!"

Tires don't increase how much its worth.

Sure they do. Most older used cars are stripped for parts. Stolen ones, too.
