DRIVING...CAR WITH 110K miles, 10 years old

[brixico]

A long time ago they once said that the easiest way to remember how to say Hyundai was that it rhymes with Sunday

I just bought a 2006 Ridgeline with 187k. If a car is regularly serviced, it can last 150k-200k easily. You can do a lot of work for the difference in the new cost. I have bought and flipped four cars to dealers this year. Crazy times.

For a lot of reasons, safety/space/comfort the Santa Fe makes sense. Sell the Spark back to the dealer. May make money.

[cargone]

Ez decision. Pocket the Sparkle cash for any possible Santa Fe needs and you will be miles ahead with the remaining cash.

My 2004 Escalade has 342, 000 miles and the engine purrs like a kitten still.

Having never been to New Mexico and it's been on my bucket list for a long time, I appreciate the journey.

When you are done in New Mexico for summer rent a dolly to take that car back to your home place in Texas. Sell the new Spark and use this car, more comfort plus you can use it for some overnight trips. Win/Win.

Congrats! Good to know that brand is a good used car. Thank you for sharing and be safe.

Hey Rusty here is a idea sell the new car trade motor home in for an Rv leave the Rv on land in NM. Go back and forth with new used car. Put the Xtra cash in the bank for rainy day. Don F

One good thing about horses is they do not have an annoying bark like a dog does!!! However, their poop makes a bigger mess if you step in it.

I just bought a 1998 Lincoln Town Car with 78, 000 original miles on it for $ 2300 cash. Some girl's uncle passed away and left it to her in his will. He bought it new and it was always garaged. Came with a new set of $ 700 michillen . I havent bought a new car in 30 years.

Nothing wrong with a good used car. The moment you drive a new car off the lot it becomes a used car and they can have problems too. Your 'new to you' car is quieter and I can understand what you're saying when you're driving.

I wish cars were BELOW MSRP again too, but it is what it is. I can wait it out. Lots are empty here, guess a lot of salesmen laid off. So now that you have a car why not run back to Fort Clark Springs and check on things and get trike? I show 8:15 minute drive on Google. Also material for a video.

[rvlivingwiththegeezer]

I would keep the Santa Fe. Can't cost justify comfort at our age Rusty. You might never find another used car in that great of condition.

[Tom-sgiv]

Well both the Chevy and Hyundai are Korean cars. I would keep the most economical if it’s just for the daily city run.

[raydavis]

Rusty, my 2019 Santa Fe has 105k miles on it…use it in my hospice chaplain work, driving 3-5 hundred miles a week. Runs like new…

[mamawb]

Rusty, you could have bought my 2010 MKX. I only had 80, 000 miles on it. Look like a brand new one when I sold it. Some of us older ones just don't travel alot.

10 Years and 110K miles is NOTHING anymore with newer cars. My wife has a 2002 Subaru Forester with 280k miles and drives it everyday. She purchased it new, and has taken good care of the car. We purchased a new Toyota Tacoma last year, and it was the first new vehicle I bought in my life. Most cars I've owned had over 200k miles, and were 10+ years old.
