Keeping a car running beyond the 200,000-mile
mark would have been considered an incredible feat even a decade ago
because cars weren’t as reliable and durable as they are today. But
improvements in rust prevention, engine technology, and lubricants have
been game changers, and now you can expect to keep any car rolling into
six-figure territory with the proper care.
That
is good news for drivers, who are keeping their cars longer than ever
before; the average age of all cars on the road is approaching 11 years,
up from about eight years in 1995, according to Polk research. (In the
photos here, owners are shown with their vehicle(s) and the number of
miles each car has been driven.) Still, motorists might not realize the
long-term financial benefits of keeping a car for 200,000 miles. Our
research shows that reaching that milestone (which would take the
average motorist about 15 years) could result in savings of $30,000 or
more. Continue to see how you can get there.#CountryTruck&Auto #FortLuptonCO #Dealership
