[quote=Anonymous]Minivan transmission at 240k mles - didn't want to spend $3k because it had a camshaft issue that was getting loud. Towed away - probably auctioned for parts.
Volvo - 180k miles. wouldn't run and my mechanic said we'd have to spend a couple thousand to fix a bunch of things and it still might not run. Also was rusted into the ground. Towed away.
Subaru - Only 130k miles."Totaled" by the insurance company after an accident at 180k miles. Could have fixed it but didn't want to deal with getting through state inspection for a salvage title because it would need a lot of other work. 
Pontiac - car fire! Estimated 190k miles (odometer broken like everything else on the car, except for the Iron Duke engine) Towed away.

In each of those cases, I hung onto the cars longer than most people would. I'm handy and stubborn.
Three other cars that were derivable but problematic when I got rid of them. 
No regrets except that I wish I had more money so I could buy a newer car once in a while.[/quote]
