[QUOTE="Jake Levin, post: 559017, member: 61840"] How many people here actually put only 12,000 miles on their vehicle a year? This will be my first year every driving less then 30K (not including my motorcycle) and I live 6 miles from work? in 13 years of driving I've put almost 500,000 on my vehicles. I've had 2 cars that were just shy of 200K and another that was just shy of 300K ( I bought 2 of those used) and never had an engine or tranny go. All 3 were "imports", 1 Mazda 626, 2 Toyota Corollas. I drove those cars much harder then I drive my ST and didn't take care of them half as well as I do my ST. They got oil changes when I could afford to do them, not when they hit 3000 miles. I work with a woman that puts 41600 a year on her cars just commuting to and from work, probably another 10-15K noncommuting miles and she has only had imports and they regularly are well over 200K ( she can't afford to buy brand new cars or lease) She's had the usual parts go after all those miles but never has she replaced an engine or a transmission.
