[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The two or three year old ones don't cost much less than a new one. So what is the sweet spot? 45,000 miles for $17K or 75,000 miles for $12K?

Not a big driver here, just to work and once in a while a 650 mile trip.

I bought a used Toyota RAV4 with 38,000 miles on it for $11,500 in 2005. I still own it 16 years later, it’s gonna turn 200k miles in the next month or so. The engine would probably go another 50-100k without issue - I change the oil religiously, of course, and have replaced various parts as they’ve worn out over time (never as soon as the factory suggested lifetime). She has no rust because she was garaged in her youth then lived out West for a decade, but her paint is faded and clearcoat shot, and she’s been bumped and battered by other drivers with no insurance after I dropped my comprehensive, and has carried dogs, so she isn’t the prettiest inside or out anymore. But I’m still determined to drive her until she quits running - unless I hit the lotto. I have a lot of great memories in her, and now it’s like a mission lol.

I highly recommend a Toyota. Incredibly reliable engines, if you keep the oil changed on schedule - that is always key! [/quote]
