I know what you mean about holding onto your vehicle. Until recently, I was driving my 2003 Suzuki XL7, had 182,000 miles and I planned to keep driving it until 2020 or until it died, which ever came first--but that car had very few mechanical issues, just a couple of O2 sensors and a window motor replaced in 12 years, so I would have kept it forever at that rate. Unlucky me, some punk kid ran into me and totally destroyed my faithful car last month.
