I think the average of US car mileage is between 10k~12k,so that's only 84k tops. Even if you round up to 100k,145K is still a shit ton of mile on a car that's only seven years old. |

Oh, and just as an example my 4 year old car (will be 5 in July) has 124,000 miles on it. Due to changes in my work locations this is actually down at least 50,000 from where it could have been when I first bought it.

That can be hard for me to grasp. It wouldn't even have got warmed up yet. I did that in under 5 months. Ohhhhh the money I have spent on oil changes!

You must not drive for fun much. I have the same commute (4.1 miles each way), DD the twin about 2.5 days a week on average, and am at 21k on my 2015 purchased January 2015. I thought I had really low mileage! |

In addition, there are no stores within walking distance of my house, basically we drive everywhere. I own 5 cars, 2 of which I am the primary driver. Between the FRS (weekdays and some weekends) and the Suburban (weekends and vacations) I drive about 35,000 miles a year. I do think I'm higher than most, but I don't really think I'm that out of the ordinary. My boss drives an F250. He lives 5 miles from work, but overall puts 25,000 miles a year on his truck because he uses it just about every weekend to haul his boat to a fishing tournament somewhere. That's life outside the city limits.

Not as much anymore because we're always taking the Outback at all other times and on the weekends. I used to drive in the canyons a lot more on the weekends, but my weekends are usually busy with family stuff nowadays.

LOL - no. We have only one kid (he's 11 now) and the Outback has served our needs for the past 6 years.

Also,I bought my car with almost 20k miles on it in 2015.I put about 250 miles between fillups,which usually about every nine days or so. That comes out to about just over 10k for the year.So just speaking from my perspective,145k is still a shit ton of miles,but I do understand if you live in a rural area. |

I however do. Robots may torque bolts but most of the assembly is still done by people. They are not always highly trained or even skilled. The people that make the parts are usually even less skilled and trained. People like to play with the urban legend that Japanese cars are built better than all the rest. That has not been accurate in the last 30 years.
